Exploration!

Through the images transmitted back from the front,

everyone was able to witness the interior of the battleship wreck.

One word.

Miserable.

The damage left by battle, the ravages of time, and the influence of the Star-Bearing Vine's main body—

the interior of this battleship wreck

was almost unrecognizable!

Rot and decay were everywhere.

Wang Dong couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

In these conditions,

was the Legendary Quality module "Sky-Shield" still intact?

However, as the exploration progressed,

Wang Dong quickly put that question aside.

There was no other reason: a new problem had arisen.

There had to be a reason why this outdated method of wired control had been abandoned.

Cable length wasn't an issue.

Dark Peng's small-scale engineering facilities could produce as much as they needed.

The real problem was that

as the exploration went deeper and the exploration robots traveled farther,

an awkward situation was bound to arise.

The inside of a battleship wreck, of course, wasn't perfectly smooth and free of obstacles.

Pits, corners, and obstructions were the norm.

Even though the exploration robots did their best to "blaze trails through mountains and build bridges over rivers," clearing the way as much as possible for the long cables they dragged behind them,

there was no way they could do it perfectly.

Less than half an hour into the exploration,

the cables behind five exploration robots had been scraped through, while the cables of two others had become stuck.

They had lost eighty percent of the robots outright!

The remaining two robots didn't last much longer.

Within a few minutes, they lost contact one after the other.

Aboard Dark Peng,

Wu Baiyi slowly let out a breath.

He stopped keeping Dark Peng in the same relative position to the battleship wreck.

The ship rose a short distance.
