Chapter 265: Chapter 221: Ambush
Subsequently, Lin Hao reported his research findings to Ye Yun. He also requested permission to organize a hunting party to put these new strategies and weapons to the test in the field.
Ye Yun highly praised the achievements of Lin Hao and the research team and quickly assembled a hunting party of experienced Warriors. Under Lin Hao’s guidance, the team members learned how to use the new weapons and familiarized themselves with the new strategies.
「A few days later.」 The hunting party, led by Lin Hao, set out to hunt the mutated creatures. They crossed the wasteland and arrived in a region frequented by them. Under Lin Hao’s command, the team members remained composed, using their new weapons and strategies to successfully hunt one mutated creature after another.
As the hunt progressed, the shelter’s residents began to feel a tangible sense of security. They knew that thanks to the efforts of Lin Hao and the research team, their home would become safer and their lives would become better.
Lin Hao stood at the scene of the hunt, gazing at the defeated mutated creatures, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment. ’This is just the beginning,’ he thought. ’More challenges and opportunities are waiting for me and the research team to explore and seize. And we will, as always, use the power of science to light the way for the shelter’s future.’
Zhou Mei and Leo stood in the shelter’s command center. A map was spread out before them, marked with a winding route that led to the location of an unknown treasure. Their gazes were firm, ready to face the challenges ahead.
"Leo, look here." Zhou Mei pointed to a symbol on the map. "This is our destination—an ancient ruin, supposedly filled with abundant resources."
Leo leaned in for a closer look and nodded. "The location certainly is mysterious, but we have to be careful. The wasteland is full of danger."
"I’ve already selected our most capable members. We’ll be prepared for anything," Zhou Mei said, brimming with confidence.
"Then let’s get going. Time waits for no one." Leo clapped Zhou Mei on the shoulder.
The team they led consisted of ten experienced explorers, each with their own specializations and skills. Before departing, Zhou Mei and Leo gathered the team for a final briefing.
"We are about to embark on a journey fraught with unknowns and danger," Zhou Mei’s voice was firm. "Our goal is to find the treasure that can bring new hope to the shelter. Remember, we’re not just doing this for ourselves, but for our home and our future. Stay vigilant, support each other. I believe we can overcome any hardship."
The team members nodded in understanding, their eyes revealing their resolve. Then, carrying the necessary equipment and tools, they set out on the path to the treasure’s location.
On this wasteland scoured by the apocalypse, the environment was harsher than anyone could imagine. Howling gales whipped up sand and dust that blotted out the sky, as if the sun itself had lost its warmth and brilliance.
The land was no longer fertile, but riddled with deep fissures—scars on the body of Mother Earth, a silent testament to the catastrophe of a bygone era.
The team struggled onward through this desolate land, their footsteps echoing through the empty ruins with stark clarity.
Yet, the sound of the wind that occasionally broke the silence seemed to mock their insignificance and helplessness.
In the distance, the roars of mutated creatures shattered the deathly silence. They were the new masters of the wasteland, nature’s ironic punishment for human civilization. The howls drifted on the wind, putting every team member’s nerves on edge. They knew these mutated creatures were not only massive but also savage; any encounter would be a battle to the death.
The team’s scouts were their eyes and ears, always walking ahead and using their keen senses and vast experience to survey the surroundings. As soon as they detected any sign of a mutated creature, they would immediately warn the team and quickly devise a counter-strategy. Sometimes they would use the terrain to their advantage, cleverly avoiding a direct confrontation. At other times, they had to rely on the team’s Warriors and Hunters to ensure their safety with their strength and skill.
In this wasteland, water and food were exceptionally precious resources.
The team’s foragers were responsible for finding potential sources of water and food. They had to carefully identify every possible water source and inspect every patch of earth for edible plants.
Throughout this process, they had to contend not only with the harsh environment but also with mutated creatures lurking in the shadows.
As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, the temperature in the wasteland began to plummet. Night was even more dangerous, as many mutated creatures were more active in the dark. The team had to find a relatively safe place to make camp. They needed to light a bonfire to ward off the cold, while also carefully controlling the flames to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
At the camp, the team members gathered around the bonfire, sharing their food and water and exchanging stories and insights from the day. They knew that only through mutual support and cooperation could they survive in this perilous wasteland. Amid the whistling of the night wind, they could still occasionally hear the distant roars of mutated creatures. But the sounds no longer inspired fear, for they knew that as long as they stood united, nothing could halt their advance.
