Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 255 - 187: True Body Enters the Forbidden Zone_1

Seeing that they had waited a full 30 seconds and the surveillance drone had not returned, everyone’s heart sank, including Ye Feng’s.

Could the drone not return because the portal was one-way, or was there a problem with the drone?

One question after another surfaced in Ye Feng’s mind.

If it was the former, that would be less of a concern; even if the portal was one-way, they actually didn’t care.

But if it was the latter, it would be troublesome.

If the drone had a problem, did that mean other equipment might also malfunction? Mainly, would the missiles be able to detonate once they went through?

All of these were unknowns.

At this point, Li Yongming, who was in charge of the command, took a deep breath. Without waiting any longer, he continued giving orders, "Proceed to the next test, bomb with rocket shells."

This time, including Li Yongming, 10 soldiers were prepared; each picked up a shoulder-launched rocket launcher and installed the rocket shells.

"Pay attention after launching. If there is any abnormal movement, everyone retreats along the path immediately," Li Yongming instructed.

"Yes!" All responded in unison, with expressions that were slightly tense.

Because if this test had any effect, it could be fatal for them, but if it had no effect, that was not what they wanted to see either.

Soon, everyone was ready, and at Li Yongming’s command, all members pulled their triggers, and 10 rocket shells whizzed out.

Under everyone’s tense gaze, the rockets shrank in size and then vanished before their eyes.

They all watched with bated breath, waiting for the result.

However, after ten seconds, twenty seconds, half a minute, a full minute, when there was still no response after a full minute, everyone’s brows furrowed, including Ye Feng’s.

It likely meant that the shells had no effect on the things within the Different Space, which was the worst-case scenario for them.

"Continue trying, proceed with indiscriminate bombing!" Li Yongming ordered again.

At the same time, they opened another box of explosives they had brought down. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Inside were filled with high explosives, not only hand grenades and TNT but also high-explosive bombs.

Everyone grabbed these bombs, pulled the pins, and threw them inside.

Such bomb-throwing required no particular skill, and in just three minutes, an entire box of various types of explosives had been used up.

However, the portal in front of them remained unchanged.

At this point, everyone’s face looked terrible, as the military had exhausted all their means.

Although there was still one last test to perform, it was no longer something the military squad could achieve.

Their gazes inevitably fixed on the Big Yellow Dog standing not too far away.

Ye Feng also began to act, waving his claws to expand the platform they stood on, and the Mutated Mice helped as well.

Soon, the platform where everyone stood had expanded more than threefold.

Next, Ye Feng ordered the 50 Mutated Sparrows waiting above to come down as well.

The Second Stage Mutated Sparrows were already quite large, nearly half a meter tall even when they folded their wings and stood, and the recently expanded platform just barely accommodated them all standing.

Li Yongming and the others opened another box, this one full of miniature cameras.

They then installed miniature cameras on every one of the Mutated Mice and Mutated Sparrows.

This was the method that Ye Feng and Bai Yinghui had discussed above; if the drones didn’t work, then they would send these animals in.

With a hundred animals, surely one would be able to return!

Soon everything was ready, and Ye Feng gave the command to depart.

However, the Mutated Mice and Mutated Sparrows hesitated, their animal instincts causing them unrest.

Ye Feng had no choice but to call upon the Fourth Order Mutated Rat King and the Mutated Parrot to descend. Under the pressure of their own kind, they dared not commit any more misdeeds.

Squeak!

Chirp!

The Mutated Rat King and Mutated Sparrows called out together, and under their command, 50 Mutated Mice and Mutated Sparrows rushed toward the portal in front of them.

As they entered the range of the portal, their bodies visibly shrank at an observable rate, and then, with a burst of Spatial Fluctuation, they disappeared.

Everyone watched again in silent anticipation.

The command Ye Feng had given them was to return immediately after entering.

But as time passed, ten seconds, half a minute, one minute, three minutes, five minutes...

When five minutes had passed with no return of any Mutated Animal, everyone’s expressions, including Ye Feng’s, were not good.

Clearly, this last hope-filled tactic had also failed.

Ye Feng no longer waited and began to return.

Seeing this, everyone also started to follow with somewhat downcast spirits.

Li Yongming reported what had happened to Bai Yinghui and Dong Ming as soon as they returned.

The more they listened, the tighter their brows furrowed.

Finally, they both turned their gazes to the Mutated Parrot because, by that time, they were out of options.

"Rest here! Dragon Lord will personally undertake the exploration next," the Mutated Parrot said after taking a deep breath.

Yes, he was ready to take action himself.
