The expedition team led by Mou Xuan stepped out of the base gate in the early morning mist.

Behind him, Chen Yao's worried eyes, like an invisible thread, tightly wrapped around Mou Xuan's heart.

He knew that even though she didn't say anything, the reluctance and concern in her eyes were enough to make his heart tremble.

A group of people walked into the wilderness.

Everywhere you look, you see the bleakness and desolation of the end of the world.

The withered and yellow weeds are like an old man who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, bent over and struggling to survive.

The wrecked cars lay scattered on the ground like forgotten metal skeletons.

The ruins of the city in the distance, like the remains of a giant beast, looked even more hideous under the gloomy sky.

An inexplicable feeling of tension surged into my heart like a tide, making me feel suffocated.

"Fuck, this apocalypse style is too hardcore!" In the team, Hunter Zhong couldn't help but curse, breaking the silence.

He looked around vigilantly and tightened the shotgun in his hand.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up like a wild horse breaking free from its reins, carrying with it sand and dust, covering the sky and the earth.

The sound of the wind was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which was creepy.

The sand and dust were like countless tiny sharp blades, lashing at everyone's faces, making it impossible to open their eyes.

"Oh my God, the wind is so strong!" Navigator Fu held the map tightly in his hand, fearing that it would be blown away by the wind.

He felt like a leaf in the wind, which could be blown away at any time.

"I'm afraid this map will become a 'blind box'!" he muttered with tears in his eyes.

The experienced explorer steadied himself and shouted, "Everyone be careful! Keep your balance and don't get blown away by the wind!"

Scientist Zhuo pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and observed the raging wind curiously: "Storms of this magnitude are very rare in the data before the end of the world." He took out an instrument and recorded data such as wind speed and direction.

Mechanic Li was not to be outdone. He adjusted his equipment while muttering, "This wind is really strong. I feel like my mechanical arm is going to be blown apart."

Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings. The strong wind was like an invisible giant hand, trying to push them back to the safe zone. However, the adventurous gene deep in his heart was stirring. He felt that the real test had just begun.

He did not follow the usual route to find shelter, but said in a low voice: "Let's keep moving forward..."

"Keep moving forward? Brother Xuan, you are not serious?" Navigator Fu's voice was almost swallowed up by the wind and sand. His face was full of disbelief, and he felt that he would be blown to the horizon in the next second.

Others also looked at Mou Xuan in surprise. This was no joke. Continuing to move forward in such wind and sand would be tantamount to seeking death.

The corners of Mou Xuan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile: "What are you afraid of? These little winds and waves are nothing. We are the men who are going to conquer the wilderness!" There was unquestionable firmness in his tone, as if the wind and sand were just a child's play.

A surge of blood surged in the team members' hearts. Yes, they were warriors shouldering the mission of exploring the wilderness. How could they be frightened by such difficulties?

"Let's do it! I'm not afraid of a bird!" Hunter Zhong was the first to respond. He picked up his hunting rifle and was full of fighting spirit.

"Explorer Ban, you are familiar with this area, lead the way!" Mou Xuan gave an order and Explorer Ban immediately stepped forward.

"Follow me!" The explorer narrowed his eyes, braved the wind and sand, and observed the surrounding terrain keenly like a cheetah.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a huge rock not far away and shouted, "There! There is a cave!"

Everyone looked in the direction his finger pointed, and sure enough, under the rock, a pitch-black cave entrance was vaguely visible.

Hope is like a ray of light, illuminating everyone's heart.

"Charge!" As if they were injected with chicken blood, everyone rushed towards the cave against the wind and sand.

Once you enter the cave, the wind and sand are blocked out, as if you have entered a whole new world.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the joy of surviving the disaster spread across everyone's face.

"Explorer Ban, you are really our savior!" Navigator Fu excitedly shook Explorer Ban's hand and almost kowtowed to him.

"Haha, no big deal, no big deal." Explorer Ban waved his hands, looking like an otherworldly expert.

In the cave, the fire crackled, dispelling the cold and illuminating everyone's face.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Everyone sat together, shared food and water, and talked and laughed.

Suddenly, Mou Xuan became quiet... He put his hand in his pocket...

Mou Xuan calmed down and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. There was an exquisite magnolia flower embroidered on the light blue background.

This was given to him by Chen Yao, with her unique faint fragrance.

He gently stroked the handkerchief, feeling the smoothness of the silk with his fingertips, and Chen Yao's gentle smiling face appeared in his mind, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"Hey, Brother Xuan, do you miss your sister-in-law?" Zhong Hunter winked and bumped Mou Xuan's shoulder with an ambiguous tone.

Others also joined in the fun, and their good-natured laughter echoed in the cave, dispelling the previous tense atmosphere. A warm and slightly ambiguous atmosphere spread in the cave.

Mou Xuan was not annoyed, he just smiled and shook his head, put the handkerchief back into his pocket, and treasured it.

This warm atmosphere did not last long, as a rustling sound broke the tranquility of the cave.

"What's that sound?" Navigator Fu looked around nervously, his voice trembling.
