With the newly - acquired mysterious power, we left the mysterious base. Once again on the wasteland, the intense sunlight stabbed my eyes painfully, forming a sharp contrast with the faint blue light inside the base. I took a deep breath. The air was filled with the smell of dust and decay, but at this moment, it seemed so real and familiar to me.
"What should we do next?" a survivor asked, his voice filled with a hint of confusion.
I looked at the desolate scene in the distance. After a moment of thought, I said, "We need supplies. Enough supplies can help us survive in this wasteland and also give us the strength to save this world."
Everyone nodded in agreement. So, we started moving towards a place in our memory where there might be supplies. It was an abandoned city that was once prosperous, but now it had been completely destroyed by war and disasters.
When we got close to the city, we saw a group of people from afar. They were wearing tattered clothes and holding simple weapons in their hands. They were carrying some supplies out of the city.
"Looks like someone has beaten us to it." I frowned and said.
"What should we do then? Should we take it back by force?" a survivor asked eagerly.
I thought for a while and said, "Let's observe the situation first. It's best to solve it peacefully. If not, we'll have to use force."
We quietly approached and hid behind some ruins to observe them. There were about twenty or thirty people in this group. Their supplies mainly included some food, water, and some simple tools.
Suddenly, one of them seemed to sense our presence and shouted, "Who's there? Come out!"
Knowing that we had been exposed, we slowly walked out from behind the ruins.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" a man who looked like the leader of the group asked, his eyes full of vigilance.
I said, "We're also here to look for supplies. We're all people struggling to survive in this wasteland. Can you share some supplies with us?"
The leader sneered and said, "Why should we? We found these supplies with great difficulty. If you want supplies, go find them somewhere else."
I continued, "It's not easy for everyone. We can cooperate and survive in this wasteland together."
The leader disdainfully said, "Cooperate? I don't need that. Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Both sides tightened their grips on their weapons.
"Looks like a peaceful solution is impossible." I thought to myself.
Just then, the other side suddenly launched an attack. They waved their weapons and rushed towards us.
"Get ready for battle!" I shouted.
We quickly formed a battle formation and engaged in a fierce fight with them. I used the mysterious power I had just obtained, and my body became light and agile. I rushed towards an enemy and punched him in the chest. The enemy was knocked flying.
During the battle, I found that although the other side had a large number of people, their weapons were crude and their combat skills were not high. However, their numerical advantage still made it a bit difficult for us.
Suddenly, the leader of the other side took out a pistol and fired a shot at me. I was quick - witted and dodged to the side. The bullet flew past my shoulder.
I was a little angry and decided not to hold back anymore. I concentrated, mobilized the mysterious power, and a ray of light emitted from my hands. I waved my hands towards the group of enemies, and a shock wave rushed out, knocking down a large number of them.
The leader of the other side looked extremely ugly when he saw this scene. He didn't expect us to have such powerful strength.
"Who are you exactly? How do you have such power?" he asked in horror.
I said, "That's none of your business. Now hand over the supplies, and we can spare your lives."
The leader hesitated for a moment, but seeing our powerful strength, he finally said helplessly, "Okay, the supplies are yours, but don't kill us."
We successfully obtained the supplies. Looking at these hard - won supplies, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"With these supplies, our hope of survival is greater." a survivor said happily.
However, things were not that simple. Just as we were about to leave, another group of people appeared. These people were better equipped. They were riding motorcycles and holding advanced weapons in their hands.
"Looks like there's more trouble." I frowned and said.
A man who looked like the leader of the other side got off his motorcycle and said, "Hand over the supplies. This area is our territory. You dare to come here to rob supplies. You're just looking for death."
I sneered and said, "Why should we? In this wasteland, the supplies belong to whoever finds them."
The leader said, "Because we have the strength." Then, he waved his hand, and his subordinates raised their weapons.
A new battle was about to break out. I looked at my companions and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. We have the mysterious power, and we will definitely defeat them."
We formed a battle formation again and prepared to face this challenge. The other side launched an attack first. Bullets rained down on us like a storm. We all dodged while looking for opportunities to counter - attack.
I concentrated the mysterious power and formed a shield in front of me, blocking most of the bullets. Then, I rushed towards the other side. I got close to an enemy and kicked him. The enemy was kicked flying.
During the battle, I found that although the other side's weapons were advanced, they were not invincible. I looked for their weaknesses and then launched an attack.
Suddenly, the leader took out a strange device and pressed a button. Immediately, a powerful electric current rushed towards us. I quickly mobilized the mysterious power to try to resist this electric current. But this electric current was very powerful, and I felt that my body was a bit overwhelmed.
"Everyone, be careful!" I shouted.
Just when we were in a bit of a difficult situation, I suddenly thought of another way to use the mysterious power. I concentrated and transformed the mysterious power into a magnetic field, canceling out the electric current.
The leader of the other side showed a surprised expression when he saw this.
"I didn't expect you to have such a trick." he said.
I said, "Now you know how powerful we are. If you're smart, leave now."
The leader was not willing to give up and said, "I won't give up easily."
So, the battle continued. We were in a fierce stalemate with the other side. Both sides had some casualties, but neither side was willing to admit defeat easily.
Just then, I suddenly noticed a key device behind the leader of the other side. If I destroyed that device, their weapons might stop working.
I quietly circled behind the leader and launched an attack when he wasn't paying attention. I punched the device, and it sparked and broke down.
Sure enough, the weapons of the other side malfunctioned, and their attacks became chaotic.
"Everyone, counter - attack now!" I shouted.
We seized the opportunity and launched a fierce counter - attack. The other side gradually couldn't hold on and began to retreat.
"You're lucky this time. I'll remember this score!" the leader said unwillingly, and then he led his subordinates away.
We finally managed to keep the supplies. This struggle for supplies made us go through a fierce battle, but it also made us more determined to survive in this wasteland.
