"Point A is secure."

"Point B is secure."

"Points C and D are secure, you can proceed."

Accompanied by the continuous security reports from the walkie-talkie, Zhou Yingting and the others stationed in the distance felt slightly relieved.

"What's the situation inside the Technology Mansion?"

Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and asked through the intercom.

"It currently seems safe. Our drones can't fly inside the Technology Mansion. There appears to be some source of interference there; as they get closer, they become uncontrollable and also disrupt video transmission."

Wu Hao quickly responded through the walkie-talkie.

They had also considered flying the drones inside the mansion for inspection. However, as the drones approached, they faced interference before they could get close.

After several attempts, they roughly understood that the drones couldn't get close to this place. Zhou Yingting and his team would have to inspect it themselves.

Lin Hua heard this, and thought for a moment before speaking, "It seems there might be a strong magnetic field inside the mansion affecting the drones' control."

"Let's go. Since there's no apparent danger inside the mansion right now, we should go in and check it out."

When they arrived, they also examined the various areas along the nearby roads and didn't find the so-called consciousness transmission device.

Judging by the situation, this mansion seemed to be their most promising location for now.

If they couldn't find the consciousness transmission device here, it would be troublesome.

"Then let's move out. Stay vigilant, and signal immediately if there's any danger."

The group then started moving, giving each other brief reminders before swiftly heading towards the mansion.

Their speed was quick, and within moments, they arrived at the foot of the building.

Looking around, they didn't see any signs of robots, and the ground was covered in a thick layer of dust, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.

The only traces were some footprints resembling those left by animals.

Judging from the footprints, it was unlikely they were made by robots.

"Let's go inside the mansion."

After confirming there were no robots nearby, they headed into the mansion.

As they entered, the next moment was marked by the sound of shattering glass.

The mansion was originally surrounded by glass, but now the ground was covered with shards as if it had experienced a great battle.

The glass constantly emitted a sharp noise under their feet.

"If there's really a strong magnetic field inside the mansion affecting some radio waves, what if the outside people detect robots approaching? Then wouldn't they be unable to communicate with us via the walkie-talkie?"

A young member of the team looked around, and suddenly voiced his concern.

Everyone paused at his words, and then tried to use the intercom to communicate with the teammates controlling the drones.

However, the radio seemed to be interfered with, providing no responses from their teammates.

"Wu Yuan, head outside and contact them, then find a nearby high-rise to stay in. Keep in touch and alert us immediately of any dangerous situation."

"If it's extremely dangerous, fire a warning shot."

"If it's not too dangerous, report back to us inside the mansion."

Lin Hua considered for a moment, then instructed his teammate next to him.

With radio malfunctioning, they would have to rely on such primitive methods for communication.

Having someone outside to receive messages was necessary.

Wu Yuan nodded promptly, turning to leave.

With communication sorted, the group proceeded further into the mansion.

Upon entering, they looked up and saw the lobby was very spacious, with a height of over ten meters, creating an extremely open atmosphere.

They searched around and soon found an adjacent emergency passage leading directly to the upper floors.

Additionally, there were many elevator doors, but these elevators had long been powerless and unusable.

Zhou Yingting stepped forward, manually prying open an elevator door, and then glanced inside.

The elevator shaft was pitch black, seemingly lacking any footholds.

Upward, they could vaguely see a dangling elevator car.

Judging by the situation, climbing up the elevator shaft seemed rather impractical.

"Let's take the emergency passage instead."

After inspecting the elevator shaft, they decided to use the emergency passage.

None of them objected and headed for the emergency passage, simultaneously beginning to organize their search.

"I just checked, there are eighty-eight floors in this mansion, and we don't know where the consciousness transmission device is located as we can't read the markings."

"If Huang Qi were here, they might identify it approximately."

"As we don't know which floor the consciousness transmission device might be on, we'll have to search floor by floor."

"Eighty-eight floors, with each person covering a few floors, shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Hua spoke while counting their number and started allocating floors.

Assigning floors didn't take much time. Zhou Yingting, being stronger, was assigned to floors sixty-three to sixty-nine.

Those assigned to higher floors required more physical effort for climbing.
