Free Web NovelChapter 145: Chapter 145 Military reconnaissance-strike drones.
"That’s amazing," Ivy muttered.
Before she could say anything else, the system inventory flashed brightly.
A moment later, twenty-four metallic drone cases appeared inside her inventory space.
Without wasting any time, Ivy selected the option to obtain them.
A large reinforced container suddenly appeared on the ground before both her and Darren.
The abrupt appearance startled Darren.
His eyes widened.
"What is that?" he finally asked, unable to contain his curiosity any longer. "You suddenly became so serious. Did your system give you something important again?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Ivy’s face.
"You could say that."
Without delay, she knelt beside the container and opened it.
Click!
The lid slowly lifted.
The moment it opened, rows of sleek black drones were revealed inside.
Both Ivy and Darren’s eyes widened simultaneously.
The drones looked incredibly sophisticated.
"Woah..."
Darren unconsciously stepped forward.
"Are those...?"
"Military reconnaissance-strike drones," Ivy answered before he could finish speaking.
A grin spread across her face.
"Our newest treasure."
Darren immediately crouched beside the container for a closer look.
Everything about the drones appeared far beyond anything he had ever seen before the apocalypse.
The craftsmanship alone was astonishing.
Even before the world collapsed, technology like this would have been considered cutting-edge.
"They look incredible," Darren admitted.
"And they’re not just for show," Ivy replied proudly. "These little guys can scout, track targets, launch attacks, and provide surveillance."
Darren’s eyes widened further.
Ivy nodded.
"We should test them right now."
At her words, Darren immediately stood up and took a few steps back.
"Go ahead," he said with obvious excitement.
Without wasting another second, Ivy activated the command interface.
Buzz!
One drone slowly rose from the container.
Its propellers spun silently as it ascended into the air.
Then a second drone followed and soon, all twenty-four drones lifted into the sky simultaneously.
The sight was breathtaking.
The sky above the base became filled with hovering machines.
Darren could only stare upward with a smile on his face.
Even after everything he had witnessed since meeting Ivy, she still always managed to surprise him.
"System, establish a surveillance network."
Ding!
{Command accepted.}
Immediately, the drones spread outward.
Some flew north, others headed south while several moved east and west.
The formation was precise and efficient and within minutes, they had covered the surrounding region.
At the same time, countless images began feeding directly into Ivy’s interface.
Roads, buildings, forests.....
Hidden monster nests that would have been nearly impossible to locate through ordinary observation.
Everything appeared with remarkable clarity.
Ivy couldn’t stop smiling.
"This is incredible," she murmured softly.
She watched as the drones continued transmitting information.
"It’s a pity you can’t see what I’m seeing," she added while glancing at Darren. "Unless the surveillance network gets connected to the systems inside the base, only I can watch my Golden Finger System."
Darren chuckled.
"As long as you can see everything clearly, then there’s nothing to worry about."
"That’s true."
Opening the reward menu once more, Ivy selected another gift package.
Practical Supplies Package.
Ding!
{Opening package...}
A bright flash appeared.
{Food supplies acquired.}
{Medical supplies acquired.}
{Ammunition acquired.}
{Fuel reserves acquired.}
{Building materials acquired.}
{Large quantities of survival resources acquired.}
Ivy nodded in satisfaction.
Without hesitation, she proceeded to open another reward.
After all, she still had several packages left.
At this point, she was genuinely glad that she had exchanged those crystal cores for points.
Not only had she earned enough points to purchase the drone system she wanted, but the system had also rewarded her with numerous bonuses.
The more she looked at the rewards, the happier she became.
Ding!
{Psychic Ability Package loading...}
"Hm?"
Before Ivy could react, a stream of energy suddenly surged into her body.
Boom!
An invisible wave spread outward from her.
Her entire body trembled.
Ivy’s eyes widened.
The world around her instantly changed.
Sounds became clearer.
Sharper.
More detailed.
She could hear distant footsteps.
She could sense movement hundreds of meters away.
Even beyond the walls of the base, she could vaguely detect her children moving through the surrounding area.
Ding!
{Congratulations, Host.}
{Perception Ability unlocked.}
{Mental Energy Manipulation unlocked.}
A look of astonishment appeared on Ivy’s face.
The system had not been exaggerating.
These abilities were real.
Even now, she could hear her children waking up inside the base.
Tiny footsteps echoed clearly in her ears.
The ability was incredible.
With enhanced perception, she could detect threats long before they became visible. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Combined with the surveillance network provided by the drones, her awareness of the surrounding area would become even more terrifying.
Although her system was already powerful, having additional abilities of her own was undoubtedly a huge advantage.
Nearby, Darren gaze remained fixed on her.
Meanwhile, high above the city, twenty-four military reconnaissance-strike drones continued soaring through the skies.
Their cameras scanned every corner of the surrounding region without missing a single detail.
Watching the drones patrol overhead, a warm smile gradually appeared on Darren’s face.
Following Ivy had truly been one of the best decisions he had ever made.
