Everyone immediately looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a group of people squatting on the ground working with various tools. However, because the soil was so frozen, they had to use a lot of effort to break it up.
A mocking look appeared on Chen Yun's face: "Now you have one choice: come with me to find the underground base, or go back and wait for Sun Tian to wipe you all out!"
Everyone knew that Chen Yun's words were not meant to intimidate them, but rather to state a fact. They all knew what kind of person Sun Tian was. They had eaten the food he provided, but now they hadn't completed their mission. If they went back empty-handed, Sun Tian might not execute them openly, but he would definitely make things difficult for them behind their backs until they were killed.
The troublemakers exchanged glances and finally nodded: "Alright, we'll do as you say this time. If you don't, don't blame us for being ruthless later!"
Chen Yun ignored them, tightened his backpack on his shoulder, covered his face with his mask, and led the group to search in the direction shown on the map.
He had previously served in a base in the United States and was quite familiar with the configuration of the US military, especially how the military should deal with such a post-apocalyptic situation.
For the past two days, he had been observing the surrounding terrain and some damaged buildings to determine where the Beacon Kingdom would leave its underground base. After two days of calculation, he finally found a place that the Beacon Kingdom used to store some of their more important items.
The group followed him to a forest that had been completely cleared of trees.
"Start digging from here, and keep digging all the way to there! There must be an underground base in there!"
Chen Yun put his backpack on the ground, took out a bucket of paint, and sprinkled it around on the ground. Then he ran to the other end and sprinkled some more paint.
“From here to there are possible locations where the United States might have left a base. This place looks like the entrance; the soil shows signs of being recently turned over. Let’s start digging from here!”
After exchanging glances, the group nodded, put down their backpacks, and took out tools to start digging.
...
Lu Yuan was sitting in the camp, his mind still racing with potential troubles and how to deal with them. It wasn't until Xiao Shan called him to come eat that he quickly put the dimensional crystal back into his pocket.
"I heard the sea route is blocked?" Xiao Shan asked, placing a chicken leg on Lu Yuan's plate.
"It's hard to say. I'm trying to see if I can lure that giant beast away!"
Xiao Shan had also heard about what happened over there. When she saw Lu Yuan say that he would lure the giant beast away, she immediately dropped her chopsticks in fright: "No, you can't do anything dangerous. We have an airplane now, so let's not think about provoking this giant beast again!"
Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, then gently patted Xiao Shan's hand: "Don't worry, I'm just holding onto this idea right now, but airplanes also have their dangers. Besides, that plane has only just been repaired and has only flown around the island a few times. Once we leave the island, we'll face even more dangers. We have to think of other ways, and the sea route is our only option. We must find a way to get rid of this behemoth!"
Xiao Shan said with a sob in her voice, "Then...then let's not leave!"
"We have no choice but to leave, this place will be sealed off by ice and snow sooner or later! If we don't leave now, it will really be too late!"
After comforting him for a while, Lu Yuan finished his meal and returned to his room, where he took out the dimensional crystal and examined it closely.
"No, we have to try it as soon as possible, otherwise it will take longer and longer, and it will be really dangerous when the blizzard comes!"
After pondering for a moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared on the dimensional crystal. Lu Yuan quickly picked it up to check the direction, told his family, and then ran out of the house.
Dahuang walked beside Lu Yuan in the cold wind. The two of them seemed to be the only ones in this world. Lu Yuan held the dimensional crystal in his hand and kept walking forward, while Dahuang followed beside him, worried about his safety.
As they moved closer, the light emanating from the dimensional crystal grew brighter and more rapid.
"Finally here!" Lu Yuan put down his backpack, picked up a flashlight and shone it on the ground to find it, then picked up a shovel and started digging.
In this cold winter, the soil has frozen solid like sheet metal, and when a shovel is struck into it, it constantly emits bright sparks.
After digging for a long time, Lu Yuan finally dug out a small pit about 20 centimeters deep, and at the bottom of the pit lay a dimensional crystal.
"We've finally found it!"
Reaching out, Lu Yuan took out the dimensional crystal and, with a thought, buried it beneath the small green seedling.
The little seedling has now grown to over five meters tall, with lush foliage and a thick trunk. It produces several fruits almost every day, and the dimensional crystal house now houses a large number of golden fruits.
These golden fruits are Lu Yuan's last resort. With these golden fruits, his physical strength and abilities will increase. However, Lu Yuan feels that the more fruits he eats, the slower his physical strength and other abilities grow.
When he ate the first golden fruit before, he could clearly feel his stamina increase several times in an instant. But now, even if he eats ten fruits, he may not be able to double his stamina again. Lu Yuan guessed that this was because the base number had increased, so his stamina could no longer keep up with his speed. The ability that each fruit could give him was fixed.
