Global Shelter Game

Chapter 212: Chapter 194: To Heishui Lake Once More

This exploration mission was clearly more dangerous than the last, but since there were only two objectives, assigning team members was relatively easy.

Ye Yun selected several elite members from the shelter and formed an exploration team.

Besides Bena and Zhou Mei, the team also included powerful members like Carlos and Zhang Hanwen.

They were all incredibly strong and experienced, making them a great asset to the team.

Once everything was ready, Ye Yun gathered the team for a pre-mission briefing.

"Everyone, this mission is extremely important."

Ye Yun stood before the team, his gaze sweeping over each person.

"You will be heading to the ruins near Heishui Lake to explore and search for clues related to genetic engineering."

Bena and Zhou Mei stood at the front of the group. Their expressions were grim, and they were clearly well-prepared.

Carlos and Zhang Hanwen were also on the team, their strength and experience serving as a crucial safeguard.

"This mission will likely be more difficult than the last."

Ye Yun continued, "We discovered some secrets related to Beastification in the abandoned shelter near Heishui Lake. This mission may lead us to uncover more about them."

At the mention of Beastification, a spark of curiosity and excitement lit up in the eyes of many team members.

Beastification was an incredibly powerful branch of gifted individuals in the wasteland, and their abilities were something many people dreamed of having.

"Bena and Zhou Mei will lead the team. Their strength and experience are our greatest assets."

Ye Yun looked at Bena and Zhou Mei. "Your mission is to lead the team deep into the ruins and search for any potential clues and data."

Bena nodded, indicating he understood.

Zhou Mei also gave a solemn nod. As a Beastification, she had always been intensely curious about her own origins.

"Everyone, be extremely careful. There could be unknown dangers in the ruins."

Ye Yun reminded them, "Our goal is to find useful information, not to take unnecessary risks. If you encounter danger, retreat immediately."

"Understood!" the group answered in unison.

Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction. He was confident this team had the strength and experience to complete the mission successfully.

"Alright, everyone, get ready. Let’s move out." Ye Yun waved his hand, signaling the team to get going.

The group prepared quickly. Half a day later, everyone was packed and ready to go.

Since Ye Yun had already activated the Teleportation Gate in Heishui Town, the trip would be much simpler this time.

Ye Yun stood before the Teleportation Gate, looking at the team before him, his heart filled with confidence.

"Alright, is everyone ready?" Ye Yun asked.

"Ready!" the group shouted in unison.

"Excellent. Move out!" Ye Yun waved his hand, signaling the team to enter the Teleportation Gate.

With a series of flashes of light, the team’s figures gradually vanished into the Teleportation Gate.

Ye Yun stood before the Teleportation Gate, watching the team depart as he mulled things over.

The mission was full of unknowns and dangers, but he was confident that Bena, Zhou Mei, and their team would complete it successfully.

The team arrived directly in Heishui Town via the Teleportation Gate, then quickly advanced toward the Heishui Lake area.

Since they had been here once before, the team was familiar with the surroundings. They carefully skirted the attack range of the mutated plants, avoiding any unnecessary trouble.

After trekking for some time, the team finally arrived near Heishui Lake.

The lake water was still deep and mysterious, and the mutated plants by the shore lay dormant, as if waiting for prey to arrive.

Carlos pointed to the ruins in the distance and turned to Bena, saying:

"Captain Bena, those are the ruins that are still left standing."

"According to people who escaped from there, it’s full of good stuff, but it also hides a lot of mutated creatures and plants, making it extremely dangerous."

Bena nodded, his gaze as sharp as a blade as it swept over the ruins.

From the outline of the ruins, one could easily tell that the original complex had been enormous.

The remaining ruins were likely just a corner of the original structure, probably spared from further attention because of its location on the outskirts.

Some of the collapsed buildings still stood dozens of meters high. It was hard to imagine how magnificent these structures must have been before they fell.

Yet, this small corner alone was estimated to cover several thousand square meters, making it easy to imagine just how massive the entire complex must have been.

"Is everyone ready?" Bena turned to look at each person on the team.

"Ready!" the group answered in unison.

"Good. Let’s move out!" Bena waved his hand and led the team toward the ruins.

The team members were all extremely vigilant, their weapons already in hand. They knew the ruins could be hiding unknown dangers.

The moment they stepped into the ruins, the sun was blocked by the towering structures, and a thick, unrestrained stench of rot and dampness filled the air.

On the ground, moss spread like a magical green carpet, wantonly covering every inch of earth.

Perhaps because they were some distance from Heishui Lake, the plant mutations here were not as severe as they were by the shore.

The giant, python-like vines were not a common sight here.

On the walls, cracks crisscrossed like gruesome, startling scars.

The environment here was so gloomy it made one’s skin crawl, as if every broken wall and shattered stone was silently recounting tales of past glory and a devastating cataclysm.

Sunlight struggled to filter through shattered windows and crumbling walls, casting a dappled pattern of light and shadow on the ground. It created a stark contrast with the surrounding, endless gloom.

The musty, rotten smell in the air was so strong it made one instinctively wrinkle their nose.

On the surrounding walls, vines and weeds grew like crazed invaders, scrambling desperately for purchase in the sunless corners, mercilessly covering nearly every surface.

On some walls, the faded remnants of murals and slogans could still be seen, though the relentless erosion of time had made them difficult to decipher.

On the ground, one could occasionally see scattered pieces of furniture and everyday items. Mercilessly abandoned and ravaged by the swift passage of time, they had long since fallen into disrepair, as if silently crying out against the injustice of their fate.

Occasionally, one could glimpse broken electronic devices, their screens shattered and their wiring exposed.

From the depths of the ruins, strange sounds echoed from time to time.

Perhaps it was the mournful whistling of the wind passing through hollow structures, or perhaps the low growls of mutated creatures hiding in dark corners.

These sounds echoed continuously through the empty ruins, adding an extra layer of mystery and unease to the deathly silent place.

The paths within the ruins had long been aggressively overtaken by weeds and rubble, forcing one to tread with extreme caution.

In some places, the ground had collapsed, forming terrifying, bottomless pits.

Their edges were covered in slippery moss, like gaping maws ready to devour any careless passerby.

Bena and Zhou Mei’s team advanced cautiously, picking their way through the treacherous ruins.

They kept their eyes wide, vigilantly scanning every corner of their surroundings.

As the team ventured deeper into the ruins, some unsettling signs began to appear.

On some walls, startlingly strange claw marks had appeared, and massive tracks of a large creature were clearly imprinted on the ground.

Neil stared at the huge claw marks, his expression turning grim.

"Five meters... no, a large mutated creature at least six meters long. Everyone, be extremely careful."

Bena’s expression also grew serious.

A large mutated creature was not necessarily a threat to him, but there were vast differences in power among them.

In the wasteland, the larger the mutated creature, the stronger it was. A six-meter-long mutated creature would likely be terrifyingly powerful.

Bena turned to the rest of the team and said:

"Stay alert, everyone. The large mutated creatures here could be extremely dangerous."

"Understood, Captain."

The team members replied in unison.
