After learning that the Steel Alliance already knew our location, the whole base was in a state of intense preparation for battle. Everyone knew clearly that a fierce battle was coming soon. And I had a faint premonition in my heart that maybe there would be some turning points in this crisis.
"Don't panic, everyone. We need to calmly analyze the current situation." I stood in the center of the base and said to the team members. "Although the Steel Alliance is powerful, we also have our own advantages. We've gone through so many difficulties, and the cohesion and combat ability of our team have been greatly improved."
"But their weapons and equipment are much more advanced than ours." a team member said worriedly.
"Weapons are not the only factor that determines the outcome of a battle." I said firmly. "We have something they don't have, which is potential. In this wasteland, everyone may awaken special skills."
Just then, Lynn suddenly shouted, "I seem to feel something!"
We all gathered around. A faint light was flashing around Lynn's body. The light became brighter and brighter, forming a small energy vortex.
"This is... a sign of skill awakening!" I said excitedly.
Lynn closed her eyes tightly, with a painful expression on her face. After a while, the light gradually disappeared, and Lynn slowly opened her eyes.
"I... I've awakened a skill!" Lynn said excitedly. "I can control electronic devices and enhance their performance."
This was a huge surprise. With Lynn's skill, our weapons, equipment and defense systems could all be greatly improved.
"Great, Lynn. Your skill will be a great help for us to fight against the Steel Alliance." I said.
Driven by Lynn, the other team members also began to try to stimulate their own potential. Kevin concentrated, and suddenly, a faint shield appeared around his body.
"I seem to have awakened a skill too!" Kevin said 惊喜 ly. "I can generate a shield in a short time to protect myself and the people around me."
Tom was not to be outdone. His hands began to emit a blazing light.
"I can release flame attacks!" Tom shouted excitedly.
As more and more team members awakened their skills, the morale in the base soared. Everyone realized that we were no longer a team that could only defend passively.
"Now, we need to train these skills as soon as possible." I said. "Only by mastering these skills proficiently can we play our greatest role in the battle."
So, the team members began intensive training. Lynn kept trying to control various electronic devices to make them perform better. Kevin repeatedly practiced generating and maintaining the shield. Tom tried hard to control the intensity and direction of the flame.
During the training, we didn't forget to strengthen the base's defense. With Lynn's skill, we comprehensively upgraded the base's defense system. The alarm system became more sensitive, and the trap devices became more deadly.
As days passed, the attack from the Steel Alliance finally came. A large group of Steel Alliance soldiers rushed towards our base like a tide. Their weapons glinted coldly, and fierce expressions were on their faces.
"Get ready for battle!" I shouted.
The team members quickly took their positions and waited in full readiness. When the enemies approached the base, Lynn launched her skill first. She controlled the electronic devices around the base and emitted strong interference signals, which made the enemies' communication and weapon systems fall into chaos.
Kevin generated a huge shield at the entrance of the base, blocking the enemies' first - round attack. The enemies' bullets hit the shield, making a crisp sound, but they couldn't penetrate it.
Tom released a raging flame and rushed towards the enemies. Wherever the flame went, the enemies fell down screaming.
Under our fierce attack, the Steel Alliance soldiers began to be in a mess. They didn't expect us to have such a strong counter - attack ability.
However, the Steel Alliance was 毕竟 a huge organization. They quickly adjusted their tactics. They sent out some special forces to specifically attack our skills.
A soldier in black armor rushed towards Lynn. He held a special weapon in his hand that could interfere with electronic signals. Lynn's skill was affected, and it became a bit difficult for her to control the electronic devices.
"Lynn, hold on!" I shouted, and at the same time, I rushed towards the black - armored soldier.
I waved the dagger in my hand and fought fiercely with the black - armored soldier. His strength was very great, and every attack made me feel a lot of pressure.
Just when I was a bit overwhelmed, Kevin came in time and protected me with the shield. Then, Tom released the flame and surrounded the black - armored soldier.
Under our combined attack, the black - armored soldier was finally defeated. Lynn also regained control of the electronic devices and launched another attack on the enemies.
The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides paid a heavy price. But with our awakened skills and tenacious fighting spirit, we always held on to the base.
Finally, the Steel Alliance soldiers began to retreat. They realized that they couldn't defeat us easily this time.
"We've won!" the team members cheered.
Although we won this battle, we knew that this was just the beginning. The Steel Alliance wouldn't give up so easily. They would surely come back again.
"We can't let our guard down." I said. "We need to continue to improve our skills, find more resources, and prepare for the next battle."
Everyone nodded, with firm determination in their eyes. We believed that as long as we united as one and continuously improved ourselves, we could surely survive in this wasteland and defeat the Steel Alliance.
