Salt, a seemingly insignificant condiment before the apocalypse, now becomes crucial to the survival of Base One. Without salt, food loses its flavor, and more importantly, the body weakens from the lack of essential minerals. Food scarcity has already strained everyone, both physically and mentally, but the salt shortage only worsens the situation.
The leaders of Base One knew they had to act quickly. After urgent deliberation, they decided to form a small, elite team to search for salt lakes or exchange salt with other bases.
Xiao Yi was once again entrusted with the important task of leading this team. He knew the weight of his responsibility, but he also understood that this was for the future of Base One. He quickly selected a group of team members with proficient survival skills and rich apocalyptic experience, and began this journey full of unknowns and dangers.
On the journey to find the salt lake, Xiao Yi and his team faced unprecedented challenges. They crossed a vast snowfield where there was only endless white snow and almost no signs of life.
The wind on the snowy plains was so sharp it seemed to penetrate even the thickest clothing and reach the bone marrow. Every step was heavy and difficult, and the team members had to stop from time to time to rest and recover their strength. However, these rest periods were always short, because they knew that on this endless snowy plain, time was life.
To maintain his direction, Xiao Yi used a compass and a map to constantly calibrate his route. However, the terrain on the snowfield was ever-changing, and they often had to bypass bottomless snow pits or climb steep snow slopes. In such an environment, even the most experienced guides would feel overwhelmed.
The shortage of food and water caused their strength to gradually decline. Every meal was eaten with great care, fearing that a single mistake would deplete their precious reserves. Water was even more precious, and everyone had to strictly control their intake.
To make matters worse, they must constantly be vigilant against the dangers of avalanches and frostbite. An avalanche could bury them under thick snow, leaving them uncertain whether they are alive or dead. Frostbite can cause necrosis of fingers, toes, or even entire limbs, seriously impacting their ability to survive.
During the difficult journey, the team members began to feel hopeless and powerless. They began to doubt whether they could find the salt lake and complete the mission. However, under Xiao Yi's encouragement and guidance, they always maintained their firm belief and determination.
Whenever someone felt exhausted or down, Xiao Yi would always stand in front of them, cheering them up with a firm gaze and inspiring words. He said, "We are fighting for the future of the base, for our families and compatriots. We cannot give up, and we cannot fail!"
Inspired by Xiao Yi, the team members regained their spirits and continued to move forward. They supported and encouraged each other, showing tenacious perseverance and indomitable spirit in the difficult environment.
Finally, after countless setbacks and difficulties, they finally discovered the salt lake. At that moment, all the fatigue and hardship turned into joy and cheers. They knew they had finally completed this arduous mission and brought hope and vitality to Base No. 1.
After several days of arduous searching, Xiao Yi and his team finally discovered the salt lake. The shimmering surface, set against the backdrop of the white snow, looked mysterious and alluring. The team members were so excited they almost cheered, but Xiao Yi remained calm. He knew that in this apocalyptic world, every resource was precious, and the discovery of the salt lake inevitably came with risks.
Just as they were about to approach the salt lake, a chaotic sound of footsteps broke the surrounding silence. Xiao Yi immediately raised his weapon in alert, and the other team members quickly formed a battle formation. From the snow in the distance, a group of disheveled people appeared. They had fierce faces and greedy eyes. They were obviously robbers in the apocalypse.
"This is our territory. If you want the resources of the salt lake, you have to get past us first!" The robber leader shouted loudly, shaking the weapon in his hand, flashing a cold light.
Xiao Yi knew something was wrong, but he didn't show any fear. He knew that in this situation, only by staying calm and united could they defeat their opponents. He quickly observed the surroundings and found that although the robbers were numerous, they were not well-equipped and clearly lacked training. His team members, although exhausted, were all elites who had been rigorously trained and selected.
"We don't want to cause trouble, we just want to get some salt." Xiao Yi tried to keep his tone calm and said, "We can share some with you."
However, the robber leader was obviously not satisfied with this. He sneered and ordered his men to surround Xiao Yi and the others. For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
At this moment, a team member suddenly found an opportunity. He whispered to Xiao Yi, "Captain, look over there!" Xiao Yi looked in the direction of his finger and saw that a robber had inadvertently revealed a flaw.
Xiao Yi's eyes flashed, and he quickly made a decision. He whispered to his team, "Prepare for action!" Then, he took the lead in attacking, rushing towards the vulnerable robber. His movements were swift and accurate, and he subdued the man with one blow.
The other team members followed closely and engaged in a fierce battle. They cooperated well and had flexible tactics, and soon gained the upper hand. Although the robbers were numerous, they were quickly defeated due to Xiao Yi and his team's excellent training and tacit cooperation.
In the end, Xiao Yi and his team successfully drove away the robbers and seized control of the salt lake. Although the battle was fierce and dangerous, the team members relied on their courage and wisdom to overcome the difficulties again. They knew that this victory was not only for themselves, but also for the future of the entire No. 1 Base.
