The impact of the energy wave was still echoing in the air, making people's eardrums buzz.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness surging in his chest.
He knew that the journey was extremely dangerous, but he also understood that it was the only hope for mankind.
He must shut down that energy hub to stop the disaster from spreading.
"Report to the captain, the assault team has assembled!" Defense Captain Song saluted with a standard military salute, his tone sonorous and powerful.
Mou Xuan glanced at the twenty carefully selected soldiers in front of him. They were all elites among the Song defense team. Each of them had been through hundreds of battles, and their eyes showed a determination to face death.
"Okay! Remember our mission, shut down the energy hub at all costs!" Mou Xuan's voice was low and powerful, and every word struck the hearts of the team members.
At this time, Chen Yao walked over quickly, with a hint of worry on her face, but her eyes were unusually firm.
"Mou Xuan, I want to go too."
Mou Xuan frowned, "It's too dangerous, you..."
"I know it's dangerous, but I can't let you take the risk alone." Chen Yao interrupted him, "You know my skills, I can help."
Mou Xuan looked at Chen Yao's determined eyes and knew he couldn't refuse.
This woman is always like this, fighting alongside him and never backing down.
He sighed and nodded, "Okay, but you must obey instructions and be safe."
As night fell, the assault team took advantage of the cover of darkness and moved silently towards the plant community.
Based on previous research, Qin, a mutant plant researcher, developed a relatively safe route for them, trying to avoid those dangerous areas.
"Everyone remember, these mutant plants are very sensitive to sound and light, so you must be careful when you act." Mou Xuan reminded the team members in a low voice.
The team members were divided into several groups, cooperating with each other and carefully moving through the dense vegetation.
There was a strange fragrance in the air that made people feel dizzy.
"Be careful, this is psychedelic pollen!" Researcher Qin's voice was a little nervous, "Everyone hold your breath and cover your mouth and nose with wet cloth!"
The team members quickly did as they were told and felt better. However, the danger does not end there.
When they approached the core area of the community, suddenly, the ground shook violently, and then countless thick vines sprang out from the ground, like giant pythons, sweeping towards the team members.
"Attack!" Mou Xuan roared and took the lead in shooting.
The bullets hit the vines, splashing green juice, but the vines didn't seem to be affected too much and were still waving wildly with amazing power.
The team members used the weapons in their hands to fight back, laser swords, electromagnetic guns, flamethrowers... the lights of various weapons intertwined together, illuminating this originally dark area.
Chen Yao was agile, moving among the vines like a ghost. The dagger in her hand flashed with cold light, and every swing could accurately cut off a vine, providing cover for the team members.
Mou Xuan led a group of team members to continue moving towards the energy hub.
They cut through the thorns and bushes along the way, continuously repelling wave after wave of vine attacks.
"Hurry! We're almost there!" Mou Xuan pointed to a huge plant building vaguely visible in front of him, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
However, at this moment, a powerful energy wave came from the front, forcing them back a few steps.
"Not good! The energy hub is increasing its energy output!" Researcher Qin's face changed drastically. "We must shut it down as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
Mou Xuan took a deep breath
As they continued to move forward, the vines around them attacked more and more fiercely, and the air became increasingly filled with psychedelic pollen.
Each team member was exhausted, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered, because they knew that they were carrying the hope of mankind.
Finally, they arrived at the energy hub...
The roar of the energy hub stopped abruptly, replaced by the crazy roars of the mutant plants and the painful groans of the team members.
The air was filled with a burnt smell mixed with the sweet and fishy smell of plant juice, which was nauseating.
The joy brought by successfully destroying the energy hub was short-lived. The assault team was like being caught in a giant green spider web. The more they struggled, the tighter they became.
Mou Xuan wiped the sweat and plant residue from his face, revealing a stained but unusually calm face.
He was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the assault rifle tightly in his hand, with smoke still coming out of the barrel.
The fierce battle just now had consumed a lot of his physical strength, but he didn't dare to relax at all.
The mutated plants came in like a tide, their twisted vines like hungry pythons, pouncing on any living thing with bared fangs and claws.
"Captain, we are surrounded!" a team member shouted in horror, his voice trembling and revealing despair.
Mou Xuan gritted his teeth and looked around.
The team members stood back to back, forming a defensive circle, and their gunfire continued to spray, but they could only barely prevent the mutant plants from approaching.
There were more and more wounded people, and the wailing sounds were like death notes, striking at everyone's nerves.
He recalled the worried look in the eyes of medical soldier He before he set off, and the land resource dispatcher's solemn promise to guarantee backup.
Now, they are isolated and trapped in this green hell, and it seems that only death is waiting for them.
"Damn it!" Mou Xuan pounded the ground hard, with resentment and anger surging in his chest.
He must not let his team members sacrifice in vain, and he must not let this mission fail!
