Two beams of red light, like deadly arrows shot by the Grim Reaper, shot straight towards Ning Yu. At the critical moment, Ning Yu's body reacted instinctively; he rolled to the side, barely avoiding the fatal blow. The red light grazed past his ear, and the scorching heat almost set his hair ablaze.

"Team Leader Ning!" The team members' hearts were in their throats as they watched Ning Yu struggle on the brink of death, powerless to help.

Having narrowly escaped death, Ning Yu, still shaken, immediately got up and threw himself back into the battle. He knew he had no way out.

The mechanical creatures' attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Ning Yu sustained more and more wounds, his clothes stained crimson with blood. But he did not flinch; instead, he fought with ever greater ferocity, for he knew that behind him were his teammates, his hope.

"We must find its weakness!" Ning Yu dodged the attacks while carefully observing every movement and detail of the mechanical creature.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. He realized that after each energy attack, the mechanical creature would pause briefly, as if it were recharging.

"Now!" Ning Yu was overjoyed; this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

He took a deep breath, mobilized all the remaining energy in his body, and then charged forward like an arrow, instantly arriving in front of the mechanical creature.

The mechanical creature was clearly not prepared for Ning Yu's incredible speed and was momentarily stunned.

"Die!" Ning Yu roared, his fists raining down like raindrops, slamming hard into the mechanical creature's head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A dull thud echoed through the tunnel as the mechanical creature's head was dented and its electronic eyes began to flicker erratically.

"Snap!"

With a crisp crack, the mechanical creature's head finally succumbed to Ning Yu's ferocious attack and shattered completely, revealing the complex wiring and components inside.

Without pausing for a moment, Ning Yu grabbed a wire from the mechanical creature's head and yanked it hard...

"Sizzle!"

Sparks flew, the mechanical creature's body trembled violently a few times, then went completely limp and remained motionless.

Looking at the mechanical creature lying on the ground, Ning Yu let out a long sigh of relief. Then he turned to his teammates trapped in the energy net and said in a deep voice, "I'm coming to rescue you. Wait for me..."

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on a metal plate beneath the mechanical creature. That metal plate seemed somewhat different…

After confirming that the mechanical creature had completely lost power, Ning Yu dragged his exhausted body toward the energy net that had trapped his team members. The energy net flickered with a ghostly blue light and hissed, and the team members, trapped inside, looked at him anxiously.

"Captain, are you alright?" Team member Zhou Qiang's face was full of worry. He struggled to get closer to the edge of the energy net, but was bounced back by an invisible force.

"I'm fine." Ning Yu gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'll get you out of here right away."

He looked around, trying to find the switch to shut down the energy network. His gaze swept over the cold remains of the mechanical creature, finally settling on the shimmering metal plate beneath it. The plate was only the size of a palm, engraved with intricate patterns, and emitted the same eerie blue light as the energy network.

"What is this?" Ning Yu frowned slightly. He reached out and touched the metal plate, and a tingling electric current instantly spread throughout his body. At the same time, a large stream of information flooded his mind—a structural diagram and operating manual for this underground mechanism.

"So that's how it is..." Ning Yu suddenly realized that this was the control hub of the mechanism! He suppressed the dizziness in his head and quickly swiped his fingers across the metal plate a few times, following the information in his mind.

As he moved, the flickering energy net gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared without a trace. The trapped team members immediately felt the force binding them disappear, and they all stretched their limbs and got up from the ground.

"Captain, you're amazing!" The team members cheered and crowded around.

"Don't get too excited yet," Ning Yu pointed to the resource box at the end of the passage, "We're still in danger. Let's hurry up and open the resource box to replenish our supplies!"

The team members immediately sprang into action, working together to open the heavy resource box. However, they were all stunned when they saw what was inside.

"This..." Zhou Qiang's eyes widened in astonishment, "How is this possible..."

Inside the resource crates, neatly stacked supplies gleamed with a metallic sheen. Various types of energy batteries piled up like small mountains, enough to keep their existing defenses running for months. High-precision medical equipment and potions emitting a strange fragrance were the most coveted and unattainable resources they had ever dreamed of.

"These...these are all..." Zhou Qiang's voice trembled with excitement. He picked up a vial of medicine that shimmered with a silvery light. The label clearly read "S-grade gene enhancer".

"This is a treasure that can directly increase your ability level!" another team member exclaimed. "With it, my ability strength can increase by at least one level!"

The other team members were also very excited. These resources were even more abundant than they had expected. They could not only solve their immediate problem, but also help them improve their skills.

"Looks like we've really struck it rich this time!" Zhou Qiang excitedly waved his fist, his face beaming with an irrepressible smile.

Ning Yu's face showed no joy; a vague unease lingered in his heart, a feeling that things weren't so simple. He looked around, trying to find some clues, his gaze finally settling on a line of small print next to the metal plate.
