Chapter 84: A narrow victory over a powerful enemy: Hidden danger



After the dazzling light, a shock wave swept across the entire battlefield, scorching air waves blew in the face, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

Mou Xuan only felt his eardrums buzzing and his vision blurred, but he endured the discomfort and yelled loudly: "Lie down! Find cover!"

Although the alliance members were caught off guard by the sudden attack, their long-term training enabled them to react quickly and they all sought cover to hide.

The sounds of explosions, screams, and gunshots intertwined together, like hell on earth.

"What the hell is this thing? It's so powerful?" A worker hiding behind a pile of earth shouted in shock.

"Stop talking nonsense and fight back!" another worker responded loudly while shooting.

Mou Xuan squinted his eyes, trying to see more clearly.

The new weapon looked like a huge turret, emitting a faint blue light all over, with dangerous energy fluctuations constantly flashing at the muzzle.

"Damn it, the attack frequency is too high!" Mou Xuan cursed inwardly. The attack speed of this new weapon far exceeded their expectations, leaving them with almost no chance to breathe.

"Report! Defense tower area A has been destroyed!"

"Report! Cracks appeared in the defense wall of Area B!"

Bad news came one after another, and Mou Xuan's heart became heavier and heavier.

If this continues, the base will be breached sooner or later.

"Chen Yao, suppress the fire! Everyone else, follow me!" Mou Xuan gave the order decisively. He decided to take the initiative and look for the weaknesses of the new weapons.

Chen Yao quickly organized firepower, and dense bullets shot towards the enemy camp like raindrops, buying time for Mou Xuan and others.

Mou Xuan led several agile soldiers and approached the new weapons in the hail of bullets.

Explosions, gunshots, shouts, all kinds of sounds mixed together, deafening.

Mou Xuan felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, but he remained calm.

"Cover me!" Mou Xuan shouted, then jumped up and avoided the attack of a cannonball.

"Brother Xuan, be careful!" Chen Yao's voice was full of worry.

Mou Xuan did not look back. He stared closely at the huge artillery platform.

Closer and closer!

Just as Mou Xuan was about to approach the turret, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a strange device at the bottom of the turret...

"Wait, what is that?" Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the device at the bottom of the turret that was constantly flashing red light.

"It's done!" He was secretly delighted. This thing looked like a weakness no matter how he looked at it!

"Chen Yao, focus your fire on the base of the turret! Hit them hard!"

Chen Yao understood what he meant and immediately adjusted the firepower, aiming all the guns at the flashing red dot at the bottom of the turret.

Dense bullets poured down like a rainstorm, flames splashed at the bottom of the turret, and the red light flashed more violently.

With a loud "boom", the bottom of the turret finally couldn't withstand the fierce attack and a violent explosion occurred.

The shock wave generated by the explosion overturned everything around it to the ground, and smoke and dust filled the sky, blocking out the sun.

"It's done!" Mou Xuan waved his fist excitedly. He knew that they won!

The unknown forces that lost their new weapons instantly suffered a sharp drop in morale and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

The alliance members took advantage of the victory and rushed into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing all the enemies without leaving a single piece of armor.

"Go! Kill them!"

"Victory belongs to us!"

The alliance members cheered and hugged each other excitedly to celebrate this hard-earned victory.

Inside the base, the cheerful atmosphere reached its climax, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.

After the battle, when the smoke cleared, Chen Yao rushed to Mou Xuan and hugged him tightly.

"Brother Xuan, you are so awesome!" There was a hint of sob in her voice, and her eyes were full of admiration and love.

Mou Xuan patted her back gently, feeling her soft body, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He looked around at the people celebrating, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

However, in this warm atmosphere, Architect Shen suddenly walked over with a serious expression.

"Mr. Mou, we are in trouble..."

The smell of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, but another smell of gunpowder is filling the air.

In the cafeteria of the base, the banquet that was originally intended to celebrate the victory turned into a battlefield of quarrels.

"Why does their team get more canned meat than us? I've risked my life just to eat this stuff?" A burly man with a full beard, holding a deflated can of meat in his hand, spoke with dissatisfaction in his tone.

"That's right! Our team has contributed a lot! Why did we get so few supplies? Is there someone behind this?" Another thin man also joined in the fun, his shrill voice particularly harsh.

"Bullshit! The distribution of materials is calculated according to contribution value. How dare you complain when your contribution is too little?" A woman in a leather jacket retorted disdainfully, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Contribution value? Does anyone know how this contribution value is calculated? Could it be an internal decision?" The bearded burly man slammed the table so hard that the plates on the table clinked.

Suddenly, the cafeteria exploded with everyone arguing at the same time.

The joy of victory was diluted by the sudden quarrel, and was replaced by tension and uneasiness.

Mou Xuan stood in the middle of the crowd, his face looking terribly gloomy.

He looked at his comrades who had once fought side by side with him, and now were arguing over supplies with red faces and ears, and he felt mixed emotions.

He clenched his fists and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Shut up, everyone!" He roared like a thunder in the cafeteria, instantly suppressing everyone's voice.

The cafeteria was completely silent, and everyone looked at Mou Xuan with different expressions.

"I will give you an explanation about the distribution of materials! However, now is not the time to argue! We just won a victory, do you want to ruin it like this?" Mou Xuan's voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

Some people in the crowd began to whisper and questioned Mou Xuan's leadership ability.

They gathered together, their eyes flickering, as if they were plotting something.

Just as Mou Xuan was thinking about how to solve the problem of material distribution, a dark shadow quietly slipped into the warehouse of the base.

The warehouse is filled with various supplies and is the lifeline of the base's survival.

The black shadow shuttled through the pile of supplies with a sinister smile on his lips.

He poured a packet of white powder into some food and water, then quickly left the warehouse...

It was late at night and Mou Xuan stood on the observation deck, gazing into the distance.

He felt that an invisible hand was controlling everything and pushing the base into the abyss.

"It seems that we have bigger troubles to deal with..." A voice came from behind. Mou Xuan turned his head and saw Chen Yao standing behind him.

"Chen Yao..." Mou Xuan was about to speak when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the base.

"What's going on?"

"Let's go and take a look!"

The two quickly ran towards the commotion, but around the corner, they saw...
