"This... could this be the legendary energy crystal?!" Scientist Zhuo pushed his glasses, his tone full of disbelief.

“Energy crystal?! Doesn’t that thing only exist in legends?!” Hunter Zhong widened his eyes, feeling that his worldview had been refreshed.

"We're rich! We're really rich now!" Mechanic Li danced with joy and excitement. "With these energy crystals, we can create more powerful weapons, and even... we can even rebuild civilization!"

"Haha! This adventure is worth it!" Everyone cheered, and an atmosphere of joy spread throughout the abandoned city.

Everyone's face was filled with excited smiles, as if they saw a bright future.

Mou Xuan looked at his team members, his heart filled with gratitude and relief.

He knew that without these partners who fought side by side with him, he would not have been able to get to where he is today.

"Brothers," Mou Xuan opened his arms and hugged the team members around him tightly, "Thank you!"

"Brother Xuan, what are you talking about? We are all brothers!" The explorer patted Mou Xuan's shoulder, his eyes slightly moist.

With a full harvest, the expedition team set out on the journey back to base.

When they arrived at the base, they received a hero's welcome.

The people at the base cheered and colorful flags fluttered, as if they were welcoming a triumphant army.

Chen Yao excitedly rushed towards Mou Xuan and hugged him tightly, her eyes blurred with tears.

"You...you are finally back..." Chen Yao said with a sob.

"I'm back," Mou Xuan stroked Chen Yao's hair gently, his heart filled with warmth.

The base was bustling with laughter and joy.

People shared their experiences of the expedition and imagined a bright future.

On this wasteland, the fire of hope was ignited again and burned fiercely.

The night sky of the wasteland is dotted with stars, mysterious and profound.

"Next... where should I go to look..." Mou Xuan muttered to himself, his eyes fell on an area marked "unknown" on the map...
