Chapter 1400: Return of the Exploration Team

The eternal night is like thick ink, wrapping the world tightly, without even a glimmer of dawn.

Three long days passed slowly in this endless darkness.

On this day, the first groups that had gone out to explore began to return.

At the entrance to the city wall of the Jinling base, several high-power searchlights illuminated the surroundings as bright as day.

The figures of the team members who had just passed the city entry inspection gradually became clearer under the dazzling light.

They dragged their feet with heavy steps, their bodies were hunched over, and their faces were full of fatigue.

But their eyes were sparkling with excitement and pride.

After all, this exploration is like a crazy test on the dangerous edge of the end of the world, and every step is full of unknowns and thrills.

This time they went deep into the once super prosperous cities around City N.

In the past, it was a bustling scene with heavy traffic, crowds of people surging like tides, and the neon lights were full of laughter and vitality.

But now, under the erosion of the eternal night, only ruins are left standing miserably, as if silently crying out the cruelty of the end of the world.

On the streets, the smell of death and decay permeated like a substance, so pungent that it made people feel nauseous.

Abandoned vehicles lay scattered on the roadside, like giant beasts frozen in time and disaster. Their bodies were covered with thick dust and rust, as if telling of the ruthlessness of time.

The glass of the high-rise buildings had long been shattered, leaving only dark holes, like the gaping mouths of giant beasts, swallowing everything around them.

The walls are also crumbling under the dual torture of time and disaster, as if they will collapse in the next second.

The once bustling shopping malls and office buildings have now become zombie dens.

In the eerie darkness, creepy roars could be heard from time to time.

The sound was like the roar of an evil spirit crawling out of the abyss of hell, which was terrifying.

Each team groped their way forward in the ruins, just like adventurers who had lost their way in a dark maze but were still desperately looking for an exit.

They carefully shuttled between the broken walls and ruins, their eyes as sharp as eagles, not missing any corner that might hide resources.

Even a piece of debris that looks like metal or a box half-buried in the rubble will attract their high attention.

The captain of one team was named Chen Feng. He was tall and strong, but his face was covered with dust, as if he had just crawled out of a pile of dirt.

There was a deep sense of fatigue in his eyes, which was caused by being under high pressure in a dangerous environment for a long time, but behind the fatigue, there was a trace of pride that was difficult to conceal.

He brought his team members to the briefing room of the operation and stood straight in front of He Yewei, who was specifically responsible for the exploration mission.

After giving a standard military salute, Chen Feng reported in a slightly hoarse but firm voice:

"Reporting to the commander, this time we have discovered several new resource points in T City, north of N City. There is an abandoned factory. Although it is already dilapidated, there are still some industrial raw materials left. If it can be transported back to the base, it should be able to provide some support to our manufacturing industry and help produce some necessary tools and equipment. There is also a large warehouse-style shopping mall hidden in a corner of the southern district. After careful searching, the brothers still found a lot of precious materials, including food, medicine and some daily necessities..."

He Yewei sat at the long table in the report hall, listened to the report carefully, a trace of approval flashed in his eyes, and he immediately nodded and said:

"You have completed the mission quite well this time. You have all worked hard. Go back and have a good rest to regain your energy. We will then organize manpower and transportation as soon as possible to bring these resources back safely. At the same time, we will also arrange for professionals to evaluate and plan the allocation of resources to ensure that they can play the greatest role."

When the team members heard He Yewei's praise, the fatigue on their faces seemed to be relieved a little, and they all showed gratified smiles.

However, the road to exploration is not easy.

During the exploration, some teams inevitably encountered small-scale zombie attacks.

Those zombies looked extremely ferocious, and they pounced towards the team members with their fangs and claws bared, like a group of starving demons.

Some teams were suddenly attacked by zombies hiding in the dark when they walked into a seemingly quiet neighborhood.

In an instant, zombies surged in from all directions like a tide, and the team members were suddenly caught in a tough battle.

During the battle, several team members were scratched and bitten by zombies. Although their teammates tried their best to rescue them, they eventually lost their precious lives due to serious injuries.

This is the painful price of exploration and the cruel reality of survival in the apocalyptic world. It makes people deeply feel how difficult it is to survive in this doomsday ruin.

Fortunately, thanks to the carefully planned routes and the bravery of the team members, most teams were able to escape danger at the most dangerous moment every time.

Faced with the crazy attack of the zombies, the team members were not afraid at all. They held their weapons, their eyes were determined, and their movements were fast and fierce.

Every member of the team is like a god of war forged in blood and fire. In the ruins of this doomsday, they fight a desperate battle with the zombies for the survival and hope of the base.

Although there were casualties, the resources and information they brought back undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope for the future development of the base, and also strengthened everyone's belief in surviving in the apocalypse.

As the report ended and they received the order to disband, the exploration teams left the report hall in an orderly manner.

He Yewei was the only one left sitting in the room.

He pondered over the map on the table, wondering how to make better use of these newly discovered resources in this dangerous apocalypse, so that the Jinling base could hold out in the eternal night and shine with the light of hope.

At the same time, in just three days, remarkable and great results have been achieved in the construction of the base.

At this time, the defensive wall of the Jinling base had rapidly increased from the original 20 stories high to nearly 40 stories high. It was like a towering and solid fortress, silently guarding the people in the base.
