The radio's microwaves traveled at roughly the speed of light, the same as electromagnetic waves.
Almost the instant Xiao Yang pressed the transmit button, the signal had already covered every corner within three hundred kilometers.
Of course, that was under unobstructed conditions.
If the receiver was on the ground or inside a building, even if it was only one meter or half a meter away, the microwaves would expend all their energy through reflection and be unable to transmit a signal.
"That's done. Next, we'll build the Outpost Camp."
After setting the radio to transmit continuously for twenty-four hours, Xiao Yang pulled the rifle from beneath his seat and hopped lightly out of the vehicle.
Huff.
More than twenty centimeters of snow directly covered his ankles.
Compared to Earth's coarse snow, the Wasteland's snowflakes were fine and densely packed. Stepping on them felt just like stepping on cotton.
After circling the surrounding terrain, the six guards he had sent out also returned with news.
"Captain, there shouldn't have been any survivors around here."
"That's right. Most of the footprints left behind should belong to Radiation Beasts. We didn't see any signs of humans."
"There are more footprints near the mountains. Could the Radiation Beasts have migrated into the hills?"

Xiao Yang frowned and turned around, his gaze sweeping toward the snowy mountains shrouded in hazy moonlight.
Calling them snowy mountains was not quite accurate.
The highest peak here was less than three hundred meters tall. Viewed from the air, they would be better described as hills.
Moreover, between the ridges, beneath the accumulated snow, there was a road into the mountains about six meters wide.
After brushing away the snow on top, they could vaguely make out
