Leading five combatants to accompany him, Zhang Tianci left the beacon site and made haste towards the beach where they first landed.
The other five combatants were left around the beacon site to monitor the area while protecting Zhang Qin Feng.
This trip from the beacon site to the settlement is about five kilometers away and another five kilometers more further south to the beach. But since there's no reason for them to make a detour, Zhang Tianci brought his team across the woods to cut their distance to merely seven and a half kilometers.
In the meantime, Zhang Qin Feng joined the research team to investigate the beacon site's origin and how the jamming function operated.
From their initial discovery, they noticed that this facility was created just for intercepting all electronic signals. But the unique part about this beacon site was its ability to block all internal messages from going through the golden dome itself.
