Outside the base, the wind howled, blowing up the withered yellow grass leaves, which slapped against the alloy walls, making a harsh scraping sound.
Mou Xuan stood on the observation deck, his eyes sweeping across the desolate land, his brows furrowed.
Resources, and more resources!
In this post-apocalyptic wasteland, the most precious thing is not human life, but the energy and materials to sustain survival.
Building a solid line of defense and protecting the survivors is his top priority as the leader of the alliance, but how easy is this?
"Report to the leader, Expert Zheng has made an important discovery!" A signalman hurried over and broke Mou Xuan's thoughts.
Expert Zheng, the Alliance's energy expert, is a thin old man, but he possesses the most valuable knowledge of this era.
The news he brought was like a flash of lightning, breaking through the haze in Mou Xuan's heart.
"An ancient relic suspected to contain a powerful energy core!" Expert Zheng pointed at the blurry image on the projection and said excitedly, "If we can get it, it will not only solve the alliance's energy crisis, but also provide sufficient resources for building a defense line!"
Ancient ruins, energy core... These words exploded in Mou Xuan's mind, as if he saw the dawn of hope.
But he knew very well that this would not be an easy operation.
"Immediately convene the alliance's top leaders and hold an emergency meeting!" Mou Xuan gave the order decisively.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn.
On the projection, the image of the mysterious ruins hung in everyone's mind like a huge question mark.
"According to intelligence, other forces have already set their sights on this ruins," said Lelouch, the alliance's tactician, a man who was calm to the point of being cold, in a steady tone, "This operation will inevitably be fraught with difficulties."
His words were like cold water poured down on me, casting a shadow over the fire of hope that had just been ignited.
"What are you afraid of! We have Cui Li!" A burly man with a full beard slammed the table and stood up.
He is Cui Li, the most powerful psychic in the alliance. He has the ability to manipulate metal and is the absolute military guarantee of the alliance.
"Go straight in, grab the energy core and leave! Whoever dares to stand in my way will be taught a lesson by me!"
"Reckless man!" Lu Xiu retorted bluntly, "Do you think other forces are vegetarians? Without a thorough plan, they will only die in vain!"
“You…” Cui Li’s eyes widened with anger and he was about to explode.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense and filled with gunpowder.
"Enough!" Mou Xuan slammed the table, interrupting the quarrel that was about to break out between the two.
He took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yao, who had been silent.
Chen Yao, the Alliance’s medical officer, is also Mou Xuan’s most trusted partner.
She is thoughtful and can always see through people's hearts.
"Chen Yao, what do you think?" Mou Xuan asked.
Chen Yao sighed softly and said slowly: "The energy core is important, but the unity of the alliance is more important. If we can't reach a consensus internally, how can we deal with external threats?"
Her words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mou Xuan's heart.
He realized that he was only focusing on the energy core and ignored the importance of teamwork.
"Chen Yao is right," Mou Xuan looked around at everyone and said firmly, "We must first reach a consensus and work out the most appropriate action plan. We are determined to obtain the energy core, but more importantly, we must ensure the safety of every member!"
His words gradually eased the tense atmosphere.
“Leader, I…” Cui Li seemed to realize his impulsiveness and his tone was a little annoyed.
In the coming period of time, Mou Xuan needs to have in-depth exchanges with Cui Li, Lu Xiu and others to find a balance point that can both bring out Cui Li's powerful abilities and ensure the thoroughness of the action.
This will be a difficult game, and the energy core in the ruins seems to be shrouded in a more mysterious veil.
## Once reborn, I will hoard hundreds of billions of supplies

The atmosphere at the alliance headquarters was solemn.
On the huge electronic screen, the figures of resource reserves are shocking, especially energy, which is approaching the red line.
Mou Xuan tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes sharp.
"Expert Zheng, has the plan for extracting the energy core been finalized?"
Expert Zheng was sweating profusely and his face was pale.
"Mr. Mou, it is feasible in theory, but it is extremely difficult to implement in practice. If you are not careful..." He paused and did not continue, but everyone present understood that the consequences would be disastrous.
Tactician Lu pointed to the nuclear power plant marked on the map and said firmly: "We must get it! I have developed three plans. Plan A focuses on..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the leaders of other forces.
"Tactician Lu, your plan is too idealistic! Fang's forces have powerful fire-type mutants. If we fight head-on, our chances of winning are slim."
Cui the Supernatural also expressed his concerns: "Moreover, intelligence shows that the Wei forces seem to be acting in secret. They act in a secretive manner and their strength is unfathomable."
The conference room suddenly became noisy, with various opinions clashing and arguments continuing.
Chen Yao stood quietly beside Mou Xuan. She was keenly aware of Mou Xuan's emotional fluctuations, and gently held his hand, giving silent support.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath, and his powerful aura instantly suppressed all sounds.
"Everyone, I know this operation is full of risks, but we have no choice." He swept his eyes over everyone, his tone unquestionable, "I will revise Tactician Lu's plan. Captain Cui, you are responsible for leading the special ability team and must ensure the safety of Expert Zheng. Captain Yin, the new energy nuclear transportation route must be foolproof!"
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
Mou Xuan turned to look at Chen Yao, "Yao, you stay at the headquarters and coordinate resources from all parties."
Chen Yao nodded, her eyes full of worry.
As night falls, an elite team sets out quietly, heading straight for the abandoned nuclear power plant.
Mou Xuan used his time ability to predict the dangers in some operations and made corresponding adjustments, but the future direction is still full of variables, especially the mysterious Wei force, which is always shrouded in a layer of fog.
The battle for the energy core has officially begun!
