“Leader, the ‘Sky Curtain’ organization…they…” The team member’s tone was urgent, but he suddenly stopped at the crucial moment, as if someone had grabbed his throat.
Ning Yu suddenly looked up, his sharp gaze piercing the team members' terrified eyes. "What happened to them? Tell me!" He gripped the metal parts tightly in his hand, making a screeching sound, just like his anxious mood at that moment.
"They...their vanguard has reached the outskirts of the base!" The team member gasped, managing to utter the words with difficulty.
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples everywhere. The atmosphere in the base instantly plummeted to freezing point; the team members looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and unease.
"Damn it, it's faster than I expected!" Ning Yu cursed under his breath, then stood up abruptly and slammed the metal part in his hand onto the ground. "Immediately notify all combat personnel to enter Level 1 combat readiness!"
“But leader…” one of the team members hesitated before speaking, “we are currently lacking effective weapons, and many of our members don’t even know how to use a gun. If we rush into battle like this, I’m afraid…”
"No buts!" Ning Yu abruptly interrupted him, her tone sharp. "Are we just going to surrender? Even if there's only a sliver of hope, we'll fight to the death!"
“But leader, we can’t defeat ‘Sky Curtain’ at all! They have powerful superhumans and advanced weapons, we…” another team member couldn’t help but voice his doubts.
"Enough!" Ning Yu roared, and the base fell silent instantly. "We have no time for doubt or fear! If 'Sky Curtain' wants to destroy us, we'll fight them to the death!"
He walked up to the team member who had raised doubts, staring intently into his eyes. "I know you're afraid, and I'm afraid too. But we cannot give up hope, and we cannot give up the fight! We are soldiers, and we will fight to the very last moment!"
He paused, his tone becoming low and firm, "I will lead everyone to overcome these difficulties. I believe we can survive!"
Despite the power in Ning Yu's words, the atmosphere within the base remained heavy. Time ticked by, and the "Sky Curtain" forces surrounding the base drew ever closer. Ning Yu could clearly hear the distant roar of engines and the sound of footsteps…
The immense pressure, like an invisible beast, weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. Ning Yu knew that grand words alone could not truly dispel the fear; he had to take concrete action.
"Bring over all the captured 'Sky Curtain' standard weapons!" Ning Yu ordered loudly.
The team members looked troubled; these weapons were completely unfamiliar to them, let alone how to use them.
"Chief, these weapon systems are too complex; we simply..."
"I'll teach you!" Ning Yu said firmly. "System, activate weapon analysis mode!"
A blue light flashed in his eyes as he placed his hands on a "Sky Curtain" standard-issue energy rifle. A moment later, all the information about the weapon flooded his mind: its structure, operating principles, and how it was operated…
In the following days, Ning Yu transformed into the most patient mentor, disassembling and assembling these initially unfamiliar weapons, and explaining them to each team member based on system analysis. He even modified the weapons according to the team members' characteristics to make them easier to use.
"This...this is simply turning the impossible into the possible!" A team member looked at the modified weapon in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief. "The originally cumbersome energy cannon can now be operated by a single soldier!"
"Leader, how did you do that?" another team member asked, his eyes filled with admiration.
"It's nothing," Ning Yu smiled faintly, pointing to his head, "Use your brain more, think more, and you can do it too."
He knew that these team members weren't lacking in courage and determination; it was just that their long-term disadvantage had instilled in them a deep fear and sense of powerlessness towards "Sky Curtain." Now, Ning Yu was showing them through his actions that even against a powerful enemy, victory was not impossible.
Time ticked by, and the roar of engines and footsteps from the base's perimeter grew ever closer, signaling the imminent arrival of the "Sky Curtain" forces.
"Everyone, grab your weapons and get ready to go!" Ning Yu gave the order, and the team members quickly assembled, their eyes shining with determination.
Following Ning Yu's previously established plan, they filed out of the base's secret passage and disappeared into the night.
However, they had barely left the base when they encountered a minefield. Ning Yu's heart tightened, "This is bad..."
