When the dust settled, the huge corpse of the monitor lizard lay across the valley like a small hill.
The team members gathered around and excitedly discussed this thrilling victory.
"How many points is this thing worth? It's enough for me to eat nutritional paste for several years!" The explorer rubbed his hands excitedly, with the light of gold coins flashing in his eyes.
"Don't be too happy too soon. We have only just started." Mou Xuan patted his shoulder and looked towards a building shrouded in mist in the distance. "Our final destination is there."
Everyone followed his gaze and saw an abandoned research base lurking in the fog like a sleeping beast. The gloomy outline of the building was looming in the mist, like a monster that was ready to devour its prey.
An inexplicable chill ran up from the soles of my feet to my heart, and the originally relaxed atmosphere froze in an instant.
"This... this place looks a bit weird..." Navigator Fu's voice trembled a little. He held the navigator tightly in his hand, as if it was his only life-saving straw.
"What are you afraid of? With the boss here, we are not afraid of any monsters or demons!" Hunter Zhong patted Navigator Fu on the shoulder as if he was relaxed, but he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and beads of sweat oozed from his palms.
The group approached the base cautiously. The mottled walls were covered with vines and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of decay.
The gate of the base is rusty and makes a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if silently telling the vicissitudes of time.
After entering the base, the dim lights flickered, shining on various strange-shaped experimental equipment, casting strange shadows.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of chemicals, making it difficult to breathe.
"Oh my god, this place is more exciting than I imagined!" Explorer Ben couldn't help but exclaim, but the expression on his face was a little stiff.
Scientist Zhuo excitedly shuttled between various instruments and equipment, like a child who had discovered a new toy. He would exclaim from time to time: "This is incredible! The technical level of these equipment is far beyond our current level!"
Suddenly, Scientist Zhuo stopped at a console that was flashing red light, and he pressed a button curiously.
“Buzz——”
A low humming sound was heard, and all the lights in the base went out, plunging into a dead silence and darkness.
"What's going on?" Navigator Fu shouted in horror, his voice sounding particularly harsh in the darkness.
"I... I don't know..." Scientist Zhuo's voice was also a little flustered, "I just pressed a button..."
“Crack—”
A sound of metallic friction came from a distance, and then a green laser shot out from the darkness, brushing past Mechanic Li's arm and leaving a charred mark on his clothes.
"What the hell! What is that?!" Mechanic Li jumped up in fright. He touched the burn marks on his arm in shock, his face pale.
In the darkness, something seems to be waking up...
"Don't panic," Mou Xuan's steady voice rang out in the darkness, "Let me take a look..."
Mou Xuan's expression remained unchanged, as if the danger lurking in the darkness was child's play to him.
He took a deep breath and activated his time ability.
Time seemed to freeze around him, and everything in the darkness became slow and clear in his eyes.
He traveled through stagnant time like a ghost, carefully observing every detail of the activation of the mechanism. The green laser beam passed by him but could not touch him at all.
"I see," he whispered, with a slight smile on his face, "it's just child's play."
Time resumed flowing and Mou Xuan returned to his teammates.
In the darkness, his figure was like a stabilizing force, bringing an inexplicable sense of security to everyone.
"Don't be afraid, I already know how to disable the mechanism." He said in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The players' nervous mood also relaxed, but they were more expectant, expecting their captain to create another miracle.
Mou Xuan walked to the control console and tapped several buttons quickly with his fingers, like a pianist playing a gorgeous piece of music.
With his last movement, the buzzing stopped and the lights came back on, dispelling the darkness and the fear in everyone's hearts.
"Boss, you're awesome!" The explorer couldn't help but cheer, and the other team members also expressed their admiration for Mou Xuan.
"Okay, let's stop wasting time," Mou Xuan waved his hand, "Let's move on and see what other treasures there are in this base."
Under the leadership of Mou Xuan, everyone went deep into the base.
In a hidden laboratory, they discovered the biggest gain of this exploration: new energy, special weapons technology data and serum formulas to fight mutant creatures.
Each of these three resources is enough to change the situation at the end of the world.
"Wow! This is such a huge profit!" The explorers jumped up excitedly, wishing they could hug the new energy and give it a kiss.
The other team members could not hide their excitement, and cheers echoed in the laboratory.
"With these things, our chances of winning are a little better." Mu Xuan looked at the resources in front of him," he paused and looked at everyone, "However, the volume of these resources is not small, we need to plan how to transport them out..."
Mechanic Li stepped forward, touched his chin, and said, "Boss, I have an idea..."
Mechanic Li pointed to a pile of discarded robot parts in the corner of the laboratory and said excitedly: "We can use these parts to assemble a few transport robots and transport these resources out!"
