After getting the promise from the You resources merchant, Mou Xuan did not feel much relieved.
He knew very well that the special materials on the list were not so easy to obtain.
The resource collection sites in the last days are full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may die there.
"Architect Shen, you will be responsible for the overall design adjustment of the base. You must ensure that the defense function is maximized." Mou Xuan ordered seriously, his eyes swept over every alliance member present, "Hai Defense Expert, I will personally lead the team to collect the special materials you need."
Chen Yao looked at Mou Xuan worriedly and asked softly, "You must be careful, those places are too dangerous."
Mou Xuan nodded, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will be fine. We must make the base impregnable so that we can live freely in the apocalypse."
The team quickly assembled and set out on the journey to the resource collection site.
Architect Shen, defense expert Hai, construction worker Xu, and several capable alliance members all followed behind Mou Xuan.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air and everyone's nerves were on edge.
"Boss Mou, I heard that there are many mutant creatures at the collection site we are going to this time. It is really hard to say whether we can come back safely." Construction worker Xu muttered in a low voice, his eyes full of anxiety.
"I will protect everyone." Mou Xuan said firmly, his tone revealing unquestionable confidence.
He already had a plan in mind, and this time, he must succeed.
As the team went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more dangerous.
In the deserted city ruins, withered plants and abandoned vehicles are scattered around, and the occasional low roar makes people feel uneasy.
"Everyone, pay attention and stay alert." Mou Xuan reminded in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the front, accompanied by low roars, and a group of mutant creatures suddenly appeared in their sight.
These creatures have different shapes, some are huge, some are extremely fast, but without exception, they are full of ferocious aura.
"Mutated creature!" exclaimed the construction worker Xu, the weapon in his hand trembling slightly.
"Everyone get ready to fight!" Mou Xuan's voice was low but firm, and he quickly commanded everyone to form a battle formation.
The decisive battle was about to begin. The alliance members' hearts were beating like drums and their weapons were swinging like lightning.
Mou Xuan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and the gun in his hand was like the scythe of the god of death, hitting every target accurately.
"Don't panic, act according to the plan!" Mou Xuan's voice rang out in the battle, like a stabilizing force, stabilizing everyone's morale.
However, the number of mutant creatures far exceeded expectations, and wave after wave of attacks gradually made the alliance members feel exhausted.
Mou Xuan's heart sank.
"Everyone step back, I'll cover you!" Mou Xuan shouted, his tone revealing determination.
He waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat quickly, while he himself launched the final offensive against the surging attack of mutant creatures.
### Chapter 77: Resource Hunting: New Design Path
"Everyone step back, I'll cover you!" Mou Xuan shouted, his tone revealing determination.
He waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat quickly, while he himself launched the final offensive against the surging attack of mutant creatures.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Mou Xuan used his time ability to find the gaps between the mutant creatures' attacks, and every counterattack was accurate.
The alliance members gradually cooperated with each other, the battle became fierce, both sides suffered casualties, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense.
Suddenly, Mou Xuan discovered the weakness of these mutant creatures—their necks seemed very fragile.
He immediately conveyed this information to everyone and directed them to concentrate their firepower on attacking the mutant's neck.
"Shoot them in the neck!" Mou Xuan shouted, and the gun in his hand was like a tiger out of a cage, instantly hitting the neck of a mutant creature and knocking it down.
Other alliance members also quickly adjusted their strategies and accurately attacked the mutant creatures' weaknesses.
The battle gradually developed in their favor. The alliance members fought more and more bravely and finally eliminated the mutant creatures one by one.
After the battle, everyone cheered and the tense atmosphere on the scene was instantly replaced by a cheerful atmosphere.
"Boss Mou, you're awesome!" Construction worker Xu said excitedly and patted Mou Xuan on the shoulder.
Mou Xuan smiled, but his eyes suddenly became stern, and he whispered, "We are not yet in a safe place, let's keep moving forward."
The team quickly packed up their equipment and continued their journey to find resources.
At this moment, in the ruins not far away, a pair of evil eyes were quietly watching them, and Mou Xuan felt a vague ominous premonition in his heart.
When we returned to the base, the smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, but another kind of "war" had quietly begun.
Architect Shen pointed at the blueprint, spitting all over the place: "Lao Hai, your defense plan is an exaggeration to say it's a turtle shell! In this world where the strong prey on the weak, passive defense means waiting for death! You have to take the initiative to attack, do you understand?"
The Hai defense expert blew his beard and glared: "Xiao Shen, you know nothing! Steady and steady is the best way to go! My plan is as solid as a rock and will never go wrong!"
The two of them quarreled until their faces turned red, like two fighting cocks, and they were just about to start fighting with real swords and guns.
The alliance members around looked at each other in bewilderment. This situation was even more exciting than fighting the mutant creatures just now.
Mou Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.
These two people, one is as radical as a wild horse, and the other is as conservative as an antique. When they get together, it's like a collision of Mars and the Earth.
He cleared his throat and said, "You two, calm down. Architect Shen's idea makes sense. In the end times, we do need the ability to take the initiative. But we can't lose the cautious thinking of Hai Defense Expert. Safety comes first."
He walked to the projection screen and pulled up a new design. "My idea is to combine your plans to create an integrated offensive and defensive base. Set up active defense traps on the periphery and build solid fortifications inside. This will not only keep the enemy out, but also allow for active attacks."
Architect Shen and defense expert Hai carefully studied the new plan, their eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
This plan perfectly combines their ideas and is simply a stroke of genius!
"Great! Boss Mou, you are such a genius!" Architect Shen slapped his thigh excitedly.
"High, really high!" Defense experts also praised it.
The alliance members also gathered around and looked at the new plan. With Boss Mou around, they would definitely be able to thrive in the apocalypse!
Just when the atmosphere was very good, a discordant voice broke the silence.
The You Resource Merchant walked in with a sly smile on his face, holding the previously agreed-upon list in his hand, and said slowly, "Boss Mou, the items on this list...the price has to double now."
Mou Xuan's eyes turned cold, and the air seemed to freeze in an instant.
He slowly stood up and walked towards the You Resource Merchant step by step...
