Successfully bringing back the treasures from the ruins, there was an atmosphere of joy in the base. The team members gathered around the precious scientific and technological materials and high - level energy crystals, their eyes full of excitement.
"Captain, these treasures are really important. With them, the development of our base will surely reach a new level," Tom said excitedly.
Looking at these treasures, I felt a faint sense of worry in my heart. "Don't be too happy too soon, everyone. The surrounding forces won't let us off so easily. Although we used traps and decoys to make them fight among themselves, they'll eventually figure it out and turn their spears towards us."
Lynn nodded, "The captain is right. We must find a way to strengthen the base's defense as soon as possible."
In the following days, we began to use these treasures to enhance the strength of the base. The scientific and technological materials gave our researchers new research directions. They studied day and night, hoping to develop more advanced weapons and equipment. And the high - level energy crystals were used to improve the base's energy supply, making the operation of various facilities more stable.
However, the calm didn't last long. One day, Lynn rushed to me in a hurry and said, "Captain, it's bad. The surrounding forces seem to have discovered that it was us who snatched the treasures from the ruins. They are joining hands and preparing to launch an attack on our base."
My heart sank. "It seems they've finally figured it out. Everyone, get ready for battle immediately. We can't just sit and wait for death."
The base immediately became busy. The team members checked their weapons and equipment and reinforced the base's defensive fortifications. I called all the team members together and began to arrange the battle plan.
"Lynn, you use the electronic jamming equipment to interfere with their communication and weapon systems, and throw their attack into chaos. Kevin, you lead a team to set up an ambush outside the base. When they get close, give them a sudden attack. Tom, you come with me to guard the base's gate and block their frontal attack," I said.
The team members took their orders one by one and went to make preparations. I stood in front of the base's gate, looking at the approaching enemies in the distance, full of determination in my heart.
"Captain, there are too many of them. Can we hold them off?" Tom asked worriedly.
I patted him on the shoulder. "We have advanced weapons and strong defensive fortifications, and we're fighting to defend our own home. We will definitely hold them off."
The enemies got closer and closer. Their shouts and the roar of weapons echoed in the air. When they entered our attack range, I shouted, "Fire!"
Suddenly, the sound of guns and cannons rang out, and our team members began to attack the enemies fiercely. The enemies were caught off guard by our sudden attack, and their formation was in temporary chaos.
Lynn was also operating the electronic jamming equipment beside me. The enemies' communication became chaotic, and their weapon systems malfunctioned. The ambush team led by Kevin also launched an attack from the side, causing great losses to the enemies.
However, the enemies outnumbered us after all. They quickly adjusted their state and continued to charge towards the base. Their artillery fire constantly bombarded the base's defensive fortifications, and some places were already damaged.
"Captain, this won't work. Their firepower is too strong," Tom said anxiously.
I thought for a moment. "We can't fight them head - on. We must find a way to break their offensive. Lynn, can you use the electronic jamming equipment to make some of their weapons turn against each other?"
Lynn nodded. "I can try, but it'll take some time."
"Okay, do it as soon as possible. Tom, we'll organize an assault team to go around to the enemies' rear from the side and disrupt their formation," I said.
Tom immediately went to gather the team members and formed an assault team. We quietly went around to the enemies' rear from the side and then suddenly launched an attack. The enemies didn't expect us to appear behind them, and their formation was in complete chaos.
Just then, there was good news from Lynn. He successfully used the electronic jamming equipment to make some of the enemies' weapons turn against each other. The enemies' formation was in a complete mess, and their attack was forced to stop.
"Now, let's launch a full - scale counter - attack!" I shouted.
The team members in the base rushed out one after another and fought fiercely with the enemies. Under our fierce attack, the enemies gradually couldn't hold on and began to retreat.
After a fierce battle, we finally repelled the enemies' attack. There was a cheer in the base, and the team members were proud of their victory.
"Captain, we made it! We held the base," Tom said excitedly.
Looking at the tired but happy team members, I was filled with emotion. "Yes, we made it. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. But we can't let our guard down. There may be more challenges in the future."
Although we repelled the enemies' attack, we also paid a certain price. The base's defensive fortifications were damaged, and some team members were injured. We began to repair the base and treat the injured team members.
During the process of repairing the base, the researchers also made a new discovery. They developed a potion from the scientific and technological materials in the ruins that could enhance human abilities. This potion could enhance people's strength, speed, and reaction ability.
"Captain, once this potion is successfully developed, the combat effectiveness of our team members will be greatly improved," the researchers said excitedly.
I was very happy to hear that. "Then you should develop it as soon as possible and let our team members use this potion as soon as possible."
However, just as we were working hard for the development of the base, a new crisis quietly approached. There was news that a more powerful force had appeared in a more distant place, and they also seemed interested in the treasures and scientific and technological materials of our base.
I knew that our challenges were far from over. But I believed that as long as we united as one, we would surely overcome all difficulties, make the base survive in this wasteland, and grow and develop.
