After successfully keeping the supplies, we continued our journey in the wasteland with these hard - won gains. Although we had temporarily got rid of those two groups of people, I knew clearly that in this dangerous wasteland, danger could strike at any time.
"Where are we going next? It's not a good idea to just wander around aimlessly." a survivor asked.
I looked at the End Log in my hand, hoping to find some clues from it. Suddenly, the End Log emitted a faint light, and a blurred map marker appeared on it.
"Maybe there will be some new discoveries at the place marked on this." I pointed to the marker on the log and said.
Everyone nodded, and then we headed in the direction of the marker. Along the way, the desolate scene of the wasteland remained the same. There were broken walls and abandoned vehicles everywhere. From time to time, we could also see the traces of some mutant creatures. Fortunately, we were all on high alert and didn't encounter any major dangers.
After walking for a few days, we came to a valley. There was a thin layer of mist in the valley, making it hard to see clearly inside.
"This place feels a bit strange." a survivor whispered.
I tightened my grip on my weapon and said, "Everyone, be careful and stay close to me."
We walked into the valley cautiously. Suddenly, a cry for help came from the mist.
"Someone is calling for help!" I said, and then ran in the direction of the sound.
In a corner of the valley, we found a group of people. They were surrounded by a group of mutant beasts, and the situation was very critical.
"Should we help them?" a survivor asked.
Without hesitation, I said, "We're all people struggling to survive in this wasteland. If we can help, we should."
We immediately joined the battle. I used the mysterious power and rushed towards a mutant beast, punching it on the head. The mutant beast was knocked to the ground. The other survivors also waved their weapons and fought fiercely with the mutant beasts.
With our help, this group of people gradually got out of trouble. They were very grateful to us. A man who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and said, "Thank you for saving our lives. My name is Jack."
I said, "You're welcome. We're all trying to survive in this wasteland."
Jack looked at us and said, "You guys don't seem ordinary. Where are you from?"
I briefly told him about our experiences, including obtaining the mysterious power in the base and the struggle for supplies.
After hearing this, Jack showed a look of admiration in his eyes and said, "You're really amazing. It's not easy to have such experiences in this wasteland. We're also a group of people trying to survive in the wasteland. We've been looking for a safe place."
I said, "We're also looking for new goals now. Maybe we can cooperate together. In this way, our chances of survival will be greater."
Jack thought for a while and said, "Okay. There's strength in numbers. We can take care of each other."
So, we formed a temporary team with Jack and his group. During the communication, I found that each of them had their own specialties. Jack was an experienced leader. He was familiar with the terrain and various dangers in this area. There was a girl named Amy in his team. She was an excellent doctor and could treat all kinds of injuries and illnesses in the wasteland. There was also a strong man named Tom. He was incredibly strong and had great combat ability.
"From now on, we're a team. We should unite and face all the challenges in the wasteland together." I said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. In the following days, we set up a camp in the valley. Amy began to treat the injured, and Tom was responsible for building defensive fortifications. Jack and I discussed our next plan together.
"Now that we have supplies and new companions, we're stronger than before. But we still need more resources and a stable base." I said.
Jack nodded and said, "I know there's an abandoned factory nearby. There might be things we need there, and the building structure of the factory is also relatively strong. It can be our temporary base."
I said excitedly, "That's great. We can go there and take a look."
So, we packed our bags and headed for the abandoned factory. Along the way, we encountered some minor dangers, but we easily solved them.
When we arrived at the factory, we found that there were indeed many useful things here. There were some abandoned machinery and equipment in the factory. We could use these to make some weapons and tools. There were also some warehouses, which stored some food and medicine.
"Finally, we have a new base." a survivor said excitedly.
In the next few days, we started to transform the factory. Tom led some people to reinforce the factory's walls, and Amy organized people to sort out the supplies in the warehouse. Jack and I continued to study the End Log, hoping to find more clues about saving the wasteland world.
During the process of building the base, we also encountered some difficulties. For example, some of the machinery and equipment were badly damaged and difficult to repair. But everyone didn't lose heart. Instead, we thought of ways to solve the problems together.
"We will definitely build this base well." I encouraged everyone.
Just as we were working hard to build the base, suddenly, an alarm sounded outside. It turned out that a group of bandits had discovered our base and wanted to rob our supplies.
"Get ready for battle!" I shouted.
We quickly picked up our weapons and rushed to the base's gate. The bandits were quite numerous and looked very fierce. But we weren't afraid because we had the mysterious power and a united team.
The battle began. I used the mysterious power and rushed towards the bandit leader. I punched him, and he staggered back. The other survivors also fought fiercely with the bandits.
During the battle, I found that although the bandits had more people, they lacked organization and training. With our teamwork and strong combat ability, we gradually gained the upper hand.
"Surrender! You're no match for us!" I shouted at the bandits.
The bandits began to waver when they saw the situation was not good. But their leader was not willing to admit defeat and continued to command them to attack.
Just then, Jack came up with an idea. He led some people to circle around to the back of the bandits and launched a pincer attack. The bandits were in a complete mess, and we took the opportunity to launch a general attack.
Finally, the bandits were defeated. Their leader was also captured by us.
"Let me go. I won't dare to do it again." the bandit leader pleaded.
I looked at him and said, "I'll let you go this time. But remember, in this wasteland, only unity and kindness can help you survive."
The bandit leader nodded, and then he led his subordinates away.
After this battle, our team became more united. Everyone was also more determined to survive in this wasteland. We knew that there would be more challenges waiting for us in the future, but as long as we were united, we would surely overcome the difficulties and save this wasteland world.
