Although we successfully broke the alliance between the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance, the situation of our base was still far from optimistic. The long - term battle had exhausted our base's supplies, and the team members were all extremely exhausted. Even worse, other forces around seemed to have noticed our weakness and were starting to stir, eyeing our base covetously.
"Captain, our current supplies can only last for about half a month at most," Lynn reported to me with a worried look on her face.
Kevin also frowned and said, "Moreover, the mental state of the team members is not very good. Many of them haven't fully recovered from their injuries."
Tom waved his fist angrily, "Those bastard forces just know how to take advantage of our weakness!"
I took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, don't be anxious. Although we are in a difficult situation now, there are still ways to solve it. First, we need to conduct a comprehensive inspection and repair of the base to ensure that the defense facilities can operate normally. Second, we need to send a collection team to search for available supplies in the surrounding areas."
So, I arranged for Lynn to lead a group of people to be responsible for the base's repair work. She used her electronic technology to quickly check and repair various equipment and defense systems in the base. Kevin organized a group of team members to reinforce the base's defense fortifications, making the shield and the city wall stronger.
Tom and I led the collection team to search for supplies in the surrounding ruins and towns. Along the way, we encountered many dangers. The wasteland was full of mutant creatures and bandits, who were coveting our supplies.
Once, when we were searching in an abandoned town, we were suddenly attacked by a group of mutant wolves. These mutant wolves were huge in size, with sharp teeth and fierce glints in their eyes.
"Everyone, be careful!" I shouted and drew my weapon to prepare for the fight.
Tom immediately released flames, forming a wall of fire to temporarily block the mutant wolves' attack. But the mutant wolves didn't back down. They kept growling and trying to break through the fire wall.
I seized the opportunity and rushed towards a relatively large mutant wolf, slashing at its neck with my sword. The mutant wolf let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground. The other team members also joined the battle, engaging in a fierce fight with the mutant wolves.
After a bitter battle, we finally repelled the mutant wolves. But this battle also made us consume a lot of physical strength and ammunition.
"This won't work. We have to come up with a better way," I thought to myself.
In the next few days, we continued to search for supplies in the surrounding areas. Finally, we found a large amount of metal materials and energy crystals in an abandoned factory. These supplies were like a timely help to us.
"Great! With these supplies, our base will be saved," Tom said excitedly.
We quickly transported the supplies back to the base. Lynn used the metal materials to manufacture some new weapons and equipment. Kevin used the energy crystals to replenish the energy of the base's shield and defense system.
As the base gradually recovered, our morale also soared. But we knew that the threats around hadn't been eliminated. In order to further understand the situation of the surrounding forces, I sent out the reconnaissance team again to collect intelligence.
The news brought back by the reconnaissance team surprised us greatly. It turned out that several surrounding forces were joining hands and preparing to launch a large - scale attack on our base. They thought that we were vulnerable after the battle with the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance.
"Looks like we're going to face another big battle," I clenched my fist.
I immediately called a meeting of the team members to discuss countermeasures. "We can't just sit back and wait for death. We have to take the initiative," I said.
After discussion, we formulated a detailed combat plan. We decided to first send a small team to harass and sabotage the enemy's joint camp to disrupt their deployment. Then, we would concentrate our main force and set up an ambush on the enemy's 必经之路 to give them a fatal blow.
The operation began. Under the cover of night, the small team quietly sneaked into the enemy's camp. They used explosives and traps to damage some of the enemy's supplies and equipment, causing chaos among the enemy.
The enemy was enraged and immediately sent their troops in pursuit. And our main force had already set up an ambush on the pursuit route.
When the enemy entered the ambush area, I gave the order, and the team members launched an attack one after another. Lynn's electronic jamming equipment paralyzed the enemy's weapons and communication systems. Kevin's shield protected our team members from the enemy's attacks. Tom released a raging fire, burning the enemies to ashes.
The enemy was caught off guard, and their formation was instantly in chaos. We took the opportunity to launch a charge and engaged in close - combat with the enemy.
During the fierce battle, I encountered a powerful enemy leader. He was holding a huge battle - axe, and each of his attacks carried great power.
I engaged in a fierce duel with him. His battle - axe was swinging powerfully, and I could only keep dodging and defending. But I didn't give up. I was looking for his weakness and waiting for the opportunity to counter - attack.
Finally, I found a flaw in him. I took the opportunity to launch an attack and stabbed at his chest with my sword. The leader let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground.
With the loss of their leader, the enemy's morale was greatly reduced. Under our fierce attack, they fled in all directions.
We successfully repelled the enemy's joint attack and defended the base again. This victory made us more determined to survive in the wasteland.
"We've broken through the dilemma again," I looked at the tired but determined faces of the team members and felt a sense of relief in my heart.
We knew that the road ahead was still long, and there were more challenges waiting for us in the wasteland. But as long as we united as one, we would surely be able to overcome all difficulties and build our own home on this desolate land.
