Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The 4th Crisis
Seman:
"Brother Ye, I’ve had someone look into his background and found out where his territory is."
"The guy has always claimed he uses special abilities to control those mutated creatures. However, I had my shelter’s people take a look, and they did see some strange decorations on the back of the creatures’ heads."
"I think those things are deliberately meant to hide the chips."
"If you’re interested, I can open a Teleportation Gate for you from my base."
Ye Yun’s heart leaped with joy. He hadn’t held out much hope for this, so he was pleasantly surprised by Seman’s good news.
Ye Yun:
"Thank you so much."
"Let’s wait until after this crisis passes. After all, the fourth crisis is in two days."
With that, Ye Yun immediately sent her a trade window pop-up.
He had promised her before. As a thank you, Ye Yun didn’t hold back, directly transferring 100 blue components and a few items produced by his own shelter to Seman through the trade window.
After all, they had agreed on this from the start.
Seeing this, Seman smiled as well:
"Brother Ye, you’re so straightforward. I won’t stand on ceremony, then."
"As soon as this crisis is over, I’ll open the Teleportation Gate for you immediately."
Ye Yun:
"Alright, I’ll wait for your message."
Their transaction concluded amicably, and Ye Yun could finally let go of the great weight on his mind for the time being.
With Seman’s help, finding the C20 chip controller shouldn’t be too difficult.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the crisis to end.
Meanwhile, Bena’s team was wrapping up their capture and installation work.
Under Neil’s expert command, the team quickly captured a sufficient number of mutated creatures.
After a screening process, they selected the suitable mutated creatures and began installing the control chips.
With their previous experience, the team members were already quite familiar with the installation process.
They quickly and carefully installed the chips onto the back of the mutated creatures’ necks, then established a connection with the chips via the controller.
As one mutated creature after another was brought under control, the team’s progress accelerated.
By the day before the fourth crisis erupted, they had successfully completed their mission of installing chips in 20 mutated creatures.
Bena immediately reported their progress to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun was satisfied with the result:
"Excellent. You’ve done well."
"Have the team rest for now and prepare for the fourth crisis."
"After the crisis is over, I’ll have a new mission for you."
Bena:
"Understood, Administrator."
"We will be on standby, awaiting your orders."
After ending the communication with Ye Yun, Bena began arranging for the team to rest.
They had been working for several days straight. Although they were all experienced Warriors, proper rest was still necessary.
Only by maintaining sufficient stamina and energy could they better face the coming crisis.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun was also preparing for the impending fourth crisis.
He reviewed his team’s configuration.
Tempered by several consecutive crises, the shelter’s teams had gradually grown stronger.
Although the teams’ combat effectiveness was uneven, under Ye Yun’s command, they were now able to complete their various missions quite well.
Ye Yun was pleased with his teams’ performance.
As long as he deployed them reasonably, the shelter was fully capable of withstanding the impact of the fourth crisis.
Considering both shelters were attacked last time, Ye Yun decided not to gather everyone in a single shelter as he did before.
After all, with the shelter’s current strength, it wasn’t necessary for everyone to face the fourth crisis together.
Ye Yun thought for a moment and quickly came up with a plan.
The main shelter was the core of their operation, so its security had to be absolutely foolproof.
As for the sub-base, it just needed enough strength to hold its ground.
As long as the sub-base wasn’t destroyed, his side could resolve their own situation quickly and then go provide support.
Seeing that it was about time, Ye Yun immediately had Lanton set out with Neil, Hawke, and ten small mutated creatures.
Although he didn’t know what the fourth crisis would entail, this additional combat power should be enough to handle it.
After all, with his recent training, Lanton’s physical stats were now high enough to operate a suit of power armor.
Ye Yun refused to believe that a suit of power armor wouldn’t be enough to survive the fourth crisis. If that were truly the case, then very few shelters would likely survive.
As time ticked by, the fourth crisis finally erupted.
Outside the shelter, countless mutated creatures began to charge.
Ye Yun looked out from the observation window. A dense, teeming tide of all kinds of mutated creatures was surging toward them.
He sucked in a sharp breath at the sight. Although he couldn’t spot any large mutated creatures among the monsters for now, the sheer, exaggerated numbers were enough to make one’s skin crawl.
At Ye Yun’s command, the team led by Bena immediately joined the battle.
Bena was already in his power armor, no longer caring how much power it would consume to operate at full capacity.
Zhou Mei had also equipped her exoskeleton.
Countless traps had been laid around the shelter—all set up by Neil over the past two days. However, the number of mutated creatures was simply too overwhelming.
The traps were all triggered in an instant, and flashes of fire erupted wildly within the horde of mutated creatures.
Countless mutated creatures vanished in the explosions.
Watching the surging tide of mutated creatures instantly engulf the team, Ye Yun’s heart leaped into his throat.
’No way... It can’t be. Can’t even Bena and the others hold them off?’
Ye Yun found it hard to believe. With their strength, Bena’s team could easily eliminate a marauder group like the Blood Saber Gang if they handled it properly. How could they possibly be unable to deal with a mere horde of small mutated creatures?
There weren’t even any large mutated creatures in this horde; it was just their sheer numbers that were overwhelming.
However, his worry soon subsided, as Bena’s team quickly cleared a small open area after a brief struggle.
The seemingly ferocious mutated creatures were not individually very strong.
This small patch of clear ground quickly expanded, as if the surging tide had been blocked by a massive boulder.
Under Bena’s command, each team member performed their duty, unleashing their maximum combat potential.
Clad in power armor, Bena was like a god of war. Everywhere he went, mutated creatures fell.
Wearing her exoskeleton, Zhou Mei moved with agility, each of her strikes hitting a mutated creature’s vitals with unerring accuracy.
Zhou Yiming’s Healing Touch continuously landed on different team members.
As Ye Yun observed, the battle had already become completely one-sided.
