The situation around the base had temporarily stabilized, but I knew clearly that this was just the calm before the storm. A greater crisis might be approaching quietly.
After returning to the base, we began to summarize this battle. The researchers carefully studied the materials and equipment seized from the enemy's base, hoping to find more information about that powerful force.
"Captain, these materials mention a mysterious organization, which seems to be closely related to that powerful force," a researcher said, holding a document.
I took the document and read it carefully. It turned out that there was a more mysterious organization behind that powerful force supporting them. This organization had advanced technology and huge resources, and their goal seemed to be to rule the entire wasteland world.
"It seems that the enemy we're facing is more powerful than we thought," I said, frowning.
To deal with the new threat, we decided to strengthen the base's defense and scientific research capabilities. The researchers worked day and night, trying to find a way to crack the enemy's technology from the seized materials. And the team members carried out more arduous training to improve their combat skills.
Just when we were making tense preparations, Lynn brought another bad news.
"Captain, I've detected a powerful energy fluctuation. Its direction seems to be towards our base," Lynn said anxiously.
My heart tightened. "Is it the mysterious organization that has started to act? Immediately call all the team members and get ready for battle."
The team members quickly gathered in the square of the base, and the atmosphere was very tense.
"As you all know, we're facing a new threat. The enemy this time may be more powerful than last time, but we can't back down. We should unite as one and defeat the enemy, just like last time," I said.
Just then, a group of strange creatures appeared in the distance. They were huge in size and emitted a strange light on their bodies, looking very terrifying.
"What are these things?" a team member asked in horror.
I looked at these strange creatures, full of doubts in my heart. "No matter what they are, we have to fight. Kevin, you lead a team to outflank from the left; Tom, you lead a team to outflank from the right; I'll lead the remaining team members to face the enemy head - on."
The battle began. These strange creatures had very powerful attack power, and our team members were a bit overwhelmed for a moment.
"Captain, these creatures' bodies are very hard, and our weapons can hardly cause any damage to them," Tom said through the communication device.
I observed these creatures and found that their eyes seemed to be their weak points. "Aim at their eyes and attack."
The team members adjusted their attack directions one after another and shot at the eyes of these creatures. Sure enough, after several creatures were hit in the eyes, they let out painful cries, and their attacks became slower.
Just when we were gradually gaining the upper hand, suddenly, a mysterious man appeared behind these creatures. He was wearing a black robe and holding a staff in his hand, emitting a powerful aura.
"You think you can defeat my pets like this? How naive," the mysterious man said coldly.
I looked at the mysterious man, full of vigilance in my heart. "Who are you? What's your relationship with that powerful force?"
The mysterious man sneered. "I'm an envoy of the mysterious organization. You've ruined our plan, and today is your end."
After saying that, the mysterious man waved his staff, and a powerful magic attack came towards us. Our team members dodged one after another, but still some members were hit and seriously injured.
"Everyone be careful. His magic attack is very powerful," I shouted.
Just when we were in a stalemate with the mysterious man, the researchers in the base sent a good news.
"Captain, we've found a way to restrain these creatures from the seized materials. As long as we attack them with a special energy wave, we can weaken their power," the researchers said excitedly.
I was overjoyed. "Immediately start the energy wave emission device."
Soon, the energy wave emission device in the base was started. A special energy wave shot towards these strange creatures. After being hit by the energy wave, these creatures' bodies began to tremble, and their power was significantly weakened.
We took the opportunity to launch an attack. The team members fought bravely and finally eliminated all these strange creatures.
Seeing his pets being eliminated, the mysterious man's face became very ugly. "Unexpectedly, you still have this trick. However, this is not enough for you to escape the fate of death."
After saying that, the mysterious man waved his staff again and cast a more powerful magic. A huge flame rushed towards us and surrounded us.
"Everyone gather together and use the defensive shield to resist," I shouted.
The team members quickly gathered together and opened the defensive shield. The flame constantly impacted the shield, but the shield could still withstand it for the time being.
Just when we thought we could withstand this wave of attack, suddenly, a strong light emitted from the mysterious man's staff. The shield was instantly broken, and the flame rushed towards us.
"Bad," I thought to myself.
Just at this critical moment, the researchers in the base made a new discovery.
"Captain, we've found that the mysterious man's staff is the key to his magic. As long as we destroy his staff, his magic will fail," the researchers said.
I looked at the staff in the mysterious man's hand and had a plan in my heart. "Lynn, use the electronic jamming device to interfere with the mysterious man's actions; Kevin and Tom, you lead the team members to attract the mysterious man's attention; I'll take the opportunity to destroy his staff."
The team members all acted according to the plan. Lynn started the electronic jamming device, and the mysterious man's actions became slower. Kevin and Tom led the team members to launch an attack on the mysterious man, attracting his attention.
Taking this opportunity, I quietly approached the mysterious man. When I got close to him, I suddenly jumped up and chopped at the staff in his hand.
"Click," the staff was cut off by me. The mysterious man's magic instantly failed, and the flame disappeared.
The mysterious man looked at the broken staff, and his face became very pale. "You... you actually destroyed my staff."
I sneered. "Today, you can't escape."
Our team members swarmed up and surrounded the mysterious man. Knowing that he couldn't escape, the mysterious man cast a teleportation magic and disappeared in front of us.
"Let him get away," a team member said regretfully.
I looked at the direction where the mysterious man disappeared, full of worries in my heart. "Although we repelled the enemy this time, the mysterious organization is still there. They must have new conspiracies. We must speed up improving our strength and prepare for the next challenge."
After this battle, we became more clearly aware of the enemy's strength. But we won't back down. We'll unite as one and fight for the safety of the base and the peace of the wasteland world.
