In the shadows of the abandoned factory, Mou Xuan and defense engineer Xiao walked carefully, looking for treasures that might have been forgotten.
The air was filled with an old smell of rust, and occasionally a few rays of sunlight shone through the broken windows onto the ground, casting mottled light and shadows.
The two of them moved separately in tacit understanding, their eyes sharp as they searched every corner carefully.
Not far away, environmental expert Hao also joined them.
His arrival added new hope to the search.
Expert Hao's keen perception of his surroundings allowed him to quickly notice some unusual minerals.
These minerals gleam faintly in the sunlight, as if whispering their secrets.
"These ores can be used as supplements to building materials," Expert Hao said excitedly, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
His discovery was undoubtedly a timely help, providing new possibilities for the construction of the base.
With these new materials, Mou Xuan's plan was able to proceed smoothly.
Defense engineer Xiao designed a powerful defense system according to Mou Xuan's requirements.
On the construction site, the roar of machines can be heard one after another, and the busy figures of the workers appear particularly vivid in the sun.
However, just when everything seemed to be going well, suddenly, the entire area was shrouded in a mysterious energy wave.
There was a sense of uneasiness in the air, as if some unknown force was watching in secret.
"Everyone retreat first!" Mou Xuan ordered decisively, with unquestionable firmness in his voice.
He asked Chen Yao to take the construction workers to evacuate quickly, while he and defense engineer Xiao stayed to check the situation.
Mou Xuan closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and the time energy flowed through his body.
He felt the source of the energy fluctuations, as if an invisible line was guiding him forward.
He and Xiao Defense Engineer approached cautiously and discovered that this was an ancient energy source that was triggered.
"This thing is not simple." Defense Engineer Xiao frowned.
"I have a way." Mou Xuan said confidently.
Relying on his experience, he quickly thought of a way to stabilize the energy source.
He worked together with defense engineer Xiao, using the surrounding materials and tools, and after some intense work, they finally succeeded in stabilizing the energy source.
As the energy fluctuations disappeared, everything around returned to calm.
Mou Xuan let out a long sigh and a smile appeared on his face.
He knew that this was just the beginning and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future.
"It seems that we can continue the construction of our base." Mou Xuan said softly, looking into the distance with a firm gaze.
It seemed as if a new hope was quietly rising in the air.
Hey, look what this has done!
After some hard work, the new base has finally been built!
Look, it is much bigger than the original "snail house", it's like "upgrading from a musket to a cannon", oh no, it's "upgrading from a musket to a rocket"!
Standing on the observation tower of the new base, Mou Xuan felt like he was standing on the shoulders of giants. Looking around, it was so majestic!
The wall was high, like a city wall, and it was topped with rows of... well, pretty powerful-looking defensive weapons. I guess not even a fly could get in.
This old guy Xiao, the defense engineer, usually looks quite "old-fashioned", but I didn't expect that he is really good at defense. The sense of security is really great!
The interior of the base is also "brand new", with new buildings rising from the ground, neatly planned as if they were copied and pasted.
The roads are wide and extend in all directions, so you no longer have to worry about traffic jams.
I heard that there is a special entertainment area, with gyms, cinemas, KTVs... everything you can think of. This is not the end of the world, it's simply a resort!
The members of the alliance were all smiling happily, and the excitement of moving into their new home was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Everyone was so grateful to Mou Xuan that they wanted to build a shrine for him.
After all, these days, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain and having enough food and clothes to eat is better than anything else!
"Brother Mu, you are so awesome!"
"Brother Mu, following you, we have a bright future!"
"Brother Mu, you are our second parents!"
Listening to these flatteries, Mou Xuan felt very happy, but his face still looked calm.
After all, we have seen the world, so we can just take this little scene lightly!
Chen Yao snuggled up to Mou Xuan, her big watery eyes full of admiration.
She gently took Mou Xuan's arm and said softly, "Brother Xuan, you are awesome! I knew you could do it."
Mou Xuan looked down at Chen Yao's delicate little face, and his heart felt warm.
He reached out and gently scratched Chen Yao's nose, and said lovingly: "Silly girl, this is all for all of us."
Chen Yao's cheeks were slightly flushed, like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite.
She leaned her head on Mou Xuan's shoulder and said softly, "Brother Xuan, no matter what happens in the future, I will be with you."
Mou Xuan hugged Chen Yao tightly, feeling her warmth, and his heart was at peace.
He knew that with Chen Yao's support, he could go further and do better.
“Ahem…”
Just when the two were being affectionate with each other, an untimely cough interrupted their "sweet time".
The “fragile” figure of environmental expert Hao appeared on the watchtower.
He was holding a bunch of instruments in his hands and his face looked a little serious.
"Mou Xuan, there is something I think I need to tell you." Expert Hao adjusted his glasses and said in a serious tone.
"Uncle Hao, what's wrong?" When Mou Xuan saw Expert Hao's expression, his heart skipped a beat and he had a premonition that something was going to happen.
"We conducted a detailed inspection of the environment around the new base and found some... well, unusual situations." Expert Hao said hesitantly.
"What's going on? Don't scare me, Uncle Hao!" Mou Xuan became even more panicked.
"To put it simply,... although the environment around the new base has stabilized,... it seems to be hiding a bigger secret." Expert Hao took a deep breath and said slowly.
"A bigger secret?" Mou Xuan and Shen Yao looked at each other and saw confusion and worry in each other's eyes.
Expert Hao pointed to a forest in the distance and said, "Look at that area. Although there is nothing unusual on the surface, but..."
