"Yaoyao, look...what...is that?"
Mou Xuan's sudden shout startled Chen Yao so much that the compressed biscuits in her hand almost flew out.
She looked in the direction of Mou Xuan's finger. The distant sky was in chaos, as if... something was moving?
"What? A sandstorm?" Chen Yao rubbed her eyes, trying to see more clearly, but in the horrible weather at the end of the world, visibility was basically foggy.
Mou Xuan didn't say anything, but just stared into the distance with his brows twisted into a knot.
He activated his time ability, but unfortunately, this time it seemed to be "stuck". He could only vaguely see some fuzzy shadows, like a group of... huge... cockroaches?
Ahem, of course not a cockroach.
Mou Xuan shook his head and threw this unreliable idea out of his mind.
He took a deep breath and said to Chen Yao: "Whatever it is, we have to go back and make a long-term plan."
After returning to the alliance base, Mou Xuan immediately summoned the core members.
The Lou defenders were the first to bear the brunt and were entrusted with an important task - to strengthen the patrol defense around the alliance.
"Old Lou, you can't let us down again this time!" Mou Xuan patted Lou Defender's shoulder and said earnestly, "Last time, that group of people almost destroyed our lair. If something goes wrong again this time, we'll both be in trouble together!"
When Defender Lou heard this, he immediately felt a huge pressure and patted his chest loudly: "Boss, don't worry! This time, even if I risk my life, I will never let anyone get close to the alliance!"
Looking at Lou Defender's face which was filled with the word "loyalty", Mou Xuan felt a little more at ease.
Although this guy is a little dull at ordinary times, he is still quite reliable at critical moments.
"Brothers, I know everyone is very tired, but now is not the time to relax." Mou Xuan looked around and said in a low and powerful voice, "Those special materials are like a piece of fat meat. Everyone wants to take a bite. We must be fully alert to protect this hard-earned achievement!"
Lou Defender set out with a team of men in high spirits.
They patrolled along the alliance's border, step by step, not missing any suspicious corner.
"Everyone, open your eyes! Don't fall asleep!" Lou Defender yelled at the top of his voice, "If anyone dares to be lazy, I will skin him alive!"
The team members were energized by his shout. They were like chickens with their blood pumped up, their eyes as big as bells.
After arranging the defense, Mou Xuan brought transportation expert Feng and technical expert Ke to the storage place of special materials.
"Oh my god, so many treasures!" As soon as transport expert Feng entered the door, he was stunned by the mountains of supplies in front of him.
He walked forward cautiously, afraid of breaking any of them.
"Old Feng, you have to take it easy. Any one of these things is enough to last us a lifetime!" Mou Xuan reminded.
"I know, I know!" Transport expert Feng nodded repeatedly, beads of sweat already oozing out of his forehead.
He lifted a box carefully, feeling like he was holding a time bomb.
The technical expert stood aside, holding a small notebook, carefully recording the name, quantity, characteristics and other information of each material.
"This...super alloy, hardness 99, corrosion resistance 100...well, not bad!" He muttered to himself as he wrote, with an obsessed expression on his face.
Suddenly, Technical Master Ke cried out "Ouch!"
"What's wrong?" Mou Xuan and transportation expert Feng were both startled.
"These... these boxes seem to have some problems." Technical expert Ke pointed at a few boxes in the corner, frowning, "I didn't find these problems when I checked them before..."
Mou Xuan walked over and found some tiny cracks on the surface of the box, and there seemed to be some strange liquid seeping out.
"What... is going on?" he asked.
Technical expert Ke looked annoyed: "I... I don't know either! I checked it before and it was intact..."
"Okay, stop blaming yourself." Mou Xuan patted his shoulder. "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Let's think of a solution together."
At this moment, Chen Yao also arrived at the storage place.
She saw everyone's sad faces and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Mou Xuan briefly explained the situation to her.
After listening to this, Chen Yao walked to the boxes with problems and observed them carefully for a while.
Then, she pointed to one of the boxes and said, "This box should contain some active substances. The temperature change may have caused excessive internal pressure, which led to the cracks."
"What should we do then?" Technical expert Ke asked anxiously.
"It's very simple, just move them to a place with lower temperature." Chen Yao said lightly.
"And this one," she pointed to another box, "This one should contain some highly corrosive substances. Maybe because it's not sealed tightly, the liquid is leaking out. We need to reseal it with a special container."
Chen Yao's series of analyses and suggestions impressed both Mou Xuan and Ke Technical Expert.
"Yaoyao, you are so amazing!" Mou Xuan exclaimed sincerely, his eyes full of admiration.
"It's nothing, I just like to read some books on this subject." Chen Yao smiled modestly.
"Hehe, my wife is still the best!" Mou Xuan proudly put his arm around Chen Yao's shoulders and gave her a kiss on the face.
"Oh, stop it, so many people are watching us!" Chen Yao pushed him away coquettishly, a blush on her face.
