Global Shelter Game

Chapter 238: Chapter 207: The Abandoned Shelter

After a brief rest, the workers threw themselves back into their intensive work. By sunset, the new residential district, laboratories, and warehouses were finally complete. They looked magnificent under the setting sun, adding new life and hope to the shelter.

"Today, we made history for the shelter," Zhou Mei said emotionally, standing before the new residential district. "This is the result of our combined efforts, our promise to the future."

Leo added excitedly, "That’s right! We haven’t just expanded the shelter; we’ve strengthened our conviction and our unity. As long as we stand together, nothing is impossible."

With the successful completion of the expansion, the shelter’s residents gathered to celebrate the momentous occasion. They sang and danced, sharing the joy of their success and looking toward an even brighter future.

Ye Yun also came to the site. A satisfied smile crossed his face as he saw the expanded shelter. "Zhou Mei, Leo, you’ve done well. This expansion hasn’t just increased the shelter’s size; it has boosted our morale and confidence."

Lin Hao stood on high ground, binoculars in hand, carefully observing the shelter’s surroundings. His expression was focused and serious, his eyes betraying a hint of barely perceptible worry. Neil was squatting nearby with a map and a notebook, recording Lin Hao’s observations.

"Neil, did you see that?" Lin Hao lowered his binoculars and turned to Neil. "The mutated creatures are active over a wider area than we anticipated, and there are more of them."

Neil nodded, his brow furrowed. "Yes, we need to reassess the situation. It seems this mission will be more difficult than we expected."

The two of them returned to camp and gathered the core members of their team to discuss a battle plan. Lin Hao stood before them, his expression grave.

"Listen up, everyone," Lin Hao’s voice was low and powerful. "We’ve scouted the mutated creatures’ range and numbers. The situation is more complex than we imagined. We need a detailed battle plan to ensure every team member can play their part."

Neil stood up and unfolded a detailed map. "According to our reconnaissance, the mutated creatures are mainly concentrated in this area. Their numbers are between fifty and one hundred, with a wide variety of species, including small reptilian types, flying types, and large beast types."

"We’ll split into three squads," Lin Hao continued. "The first squad will draw the creatures’ attention and lure them to a designated area. The second squad will handle the ambush and sniping, using our long-range advantage to quickly thin their numbers. The third squad will be responsible for close-combat support and cleaning up any that remain."

The team members nodded in understanding. Lin Hao and Neil assigned members and specific tasks to each squad, then sent them to prepare the necessary equipment and weapons.

Early the next morning, just as the sky began to lighten, the team set out. They silently approached the area where the mutated creatures were active. The first squad, led by Neil, wore camouflage and slowly approached the creatures’ nest.

"Remember, our mission is to draw their attention, but do not engage directly," Neil told his squad. "Once they’re lured out, retreat immediately."

Neil’s first squad began making noise, successfully attracting the mutated creatures’ attention. A group of small, reptilian mutants was the first to be stirred up. They let out sharp cries and charged toward Neil and his team.

Neil promptly gave the retreat signal, and the first squad withdrew along the predetermined route, leading the mutated creatures toward the second squad’s ambush point.

"Here they come!" Lin Hao whispered at the ambush site. "Get ready to fire!"

The second squad was commanded by Lin Hao. They were hidden on high ground and in the tall grass, holding various ranged weapons, waiting for the mutated creatures to enter their range.

When the mutated creatures entered the kill zone, Lin Hao gave the order to fire. In an instant, arrows, bullets, and energy beams wove a web of death that enveloped the creatures. The mutants let out bloodcurdling screeches as they fell one after another.

Meanwhile, the third squad, led by another squad leader, quickly approached the battlefield, ready to provide close-combat support. They held sharp swords and shields, prepared to deal with any unexpected situations.

After a fierce battle, the mutated creatures’ offensive was successfully suppressed. The team members under Lin Hao and Neil’s command showed exceptional coordination and combat skill, eliminating the creatures one by one.

"Stay alert. Let’s check the battlefield," Lin Hao said after the fighting stopped. "Be sure to collect any useful materials. They’ll be very helpful for our research."

The team members began to go over the battlefield, harvesting materials like scales, bones, and blood from the mutated creature carcasses. These materials would be used for the shelter’s research and production, helping to improve its technological level and survival capabilities.

As the battles continued, Lin Hao and Neil’s team gradually cleared out the mutated creatures around the shelter. They not only ensured the shelter’s safety but also brought back valuable resources.

"Mission accomplished, and exceptionally so. Good work, everyone," Lin Hao announced after the final battle. "We didn’t just eliminate the threat; we contributed to the shelter’s development."

Bena stood in the shelter’s central plaza, facing his team. They were about to execute a critical mission—to explore an unknown region and search for clues about abandoned shelters. His gaze swept over each team member’s face, their eyes filled with determination and curiosity.

"We are about to embark on a journey into the unknown," Bena’s voice was firm and powerful. "Our destination is the abandoned shelters that may be hiding valuable resources and information."

His second-in-command, Amy, an experienced explorer, took a step forward and unfolded a faded map. The team members gathered around, their eyes fixed on the marked area.

"Our target area is here," Amy said, pointing to a vague spot on the map. "According to the intel we’ve gathered, this was once a large shelter, but it was abandoned during the Great Cataclysm."

Bena added, "We don’t know what we’ll encounter there, so we must be fully prepared. Check your gear. Make sure everything is in working order."

The team members got busy, checking their backpacks and confirming their food, water, weapons, and detection equipment were all ready. They knew this expedition was not just a test of courage, but also a challenge of wits and teamwork.

A few days later, the team embarked on their journey. They crossed the desolate wasteland, carefully avoiding the territories of mutated creatures and potential radiation zones. Bena led the way, his eyes constantly scanning their surroundings, the map in his hand continually being checked and updated.

"Hold up," Bena suddenly stopped and raised a hand, signaling the team to halt. "We’re approaching the target area."

The team members quickly went on high alert, cautiously observing their surroundings. Bena and Amy went ahead to scout. They returned a short time later, their faces showing excitement.

"We found it," Bena said. "Just ahead, there’s a half-buried entrance that looks like a passage into the abandoned shelter."

Amy nodded. "I’ve checked the vicinity. No sign of mutated creatures. We can enter safely."

The team carefully entered the abandoned shelter. It was dim and damp inside, the air thick with the smell of mildew. They switched on their flashlights, the beams sweeping across the ruins, illuminating scattered debris and dilapidated facilities.

"Split up," Bena ordered, "but keep comms open. Report anything unusual immediately."

The team members split into smaller groups and began to search the abandoned shelter. They checked every corner meticulously, looking for any useful supplies or clues.
