Chapter 399: Chapter 30: Ancient Ruin

After making thorough preparations, Bena once again led the patrol team on their expedition. They traversed barren deserts, treacherous mountain ranges, and dense forests, enduring harsh weather and encountering all sorts of dangerous creatures along the way. But with their tenacious will and united spirit, the team members overcame every obstacle.

After a long and arduous trek, they finally found the location of the mysterious device. It was a valley shrouded in darkness, pervaded by a sinister aura. The device stood in the center of the valley, emitting powerful waves of energy.

"Stay alert, everyone. This place is dangerous," Bena warned his team in a low voice.

They cautiously approached the mysterious device, only to find it heavily guarded by soldiers from the evil organization. Bena assessed the situation and decided to launch a surprise attack.

"On my command, get ready to move," Bena whispered.

The team members tightened their grip on their weapons, waiting for the perfect moment. The instant the evil organization’s soldiers let their guard down, Bena gave the order, and his team charged the enemy like tigers pouncing on their prey.

The battle erupted in an instant as the two sides clashed violently. Though the soldiers of the evil organization were numerous, the patrol team’s superior combat skills and powerful weaponry allowed them to gradually gain the upper hand.

Amidst the fierce fighting, Bena led a few team members in a charge toward the mysterious device. They had to destroy it as quickly as possible. If the evil organization’s reinforcements arrived, they would be trapped.

When Bena and his team reached the mysterious device, they found it protected by a powerful energy shield. They tried everything they could think of, but nothing could penetrate it.

"What now? We have to find a way to break this shield," one of the members said anxiously.

Bena remained calm and thought. Suddenly, he remembered the knowledge he’d gained from the sphere. He quickly recalled a potential method for cracking the energy shield.

"Everyone, focus your fire! Attack the specific points on the shield I call out!" Bena shouted.

The team followed Bena’s commands, concentrating their fire on the designated points of the shield. After a concerted effort, cracks finally appeared in the energy shield.

Bena seized the opportunity, leading his team through the shield’s interior to sabotage the device. Under their assault, the mysterious device gradually lost power and was ultimately destroyed completely.

With the destruction of the device, the evil organization’s power was significantly weakened. The patrol team seized the opportunity to make a swift retreat from the battlefield.

When they returned to the shelter, the people erupted in cheers, celebrating their victory. Bena and his patrol team had once again become the shelter’s heroes, their courage and ingenuity bringing new hope to its inhabitants.

However, Bena knew the fight wasn’t over. The evil organization had suffered a major blow, but they wouldn’t give up so easily. In this challenging world, they had to remain ever vigilant and continue fighting for the shelter’s prosperity and growth. After the initial joy of victory faded, the people of the shelter threw themselves into the arduous task of rebuilding. Bena and his patrol team didn’t let up either. They assisted with the reconstruction efforts while also strengthening their patrols, remaining on high alert for the evil organization’s inevitable retaliation.

Meanwhile, Ye Yun led the research team in a deeper study of the sphere’s power, hoping to unlock more of its technological potential and provide a more solid foundation for the shelter’s future. They discovered that the sphere seemed to hold yet more unknown secrets—secrets that could have a major impact on the world’s balance of power.

At the same time, the evil organization was thrown into chaos by their devastating loss. Their leader was enraged, swearing to exact a frenzied revenge upon the shelter. The organization began to regroup its forces, searching far and wide for new energy sources to restore their power.

「Several months later.」

The evil organization’s scouts discovered ancient ruins that were rumored to hold a powerful, mysterious energy. The organization’s leader immediately dispatched a large force to explore them.

Back at the shelter, Bena’s team happened to discover the evil organization’s movements during one of their patrols. Bena realized they couldn’t allow the organization to acquire such power again. If they did, the shelter would face utter annihilation.

Bena quickly reported the situation to Ye Yun. After careful consideration, Ye Yun decided to dispatch Bena and the patrol team to the ruins to stop the evil organization’s plan.

"Bena, this mission is critical. You must be careful," Ye Yun said gravely.

Bena nodded firmly. "Don’t worry. We will complete the mission."

The patrol team set out once more. They raced toward the ruins relentlessly, overcoming numerous hardships along the way. When they arrived in the vicinity of the ruins, they saw that the evil organization’s main force had already reached the site and had begun to excavate it.

"We can’t let them succeed," Bena murmured.

The team members crept quietly toward the ruins, searching for the best opportunity to strike. After a period of observation, Bena identified several weaknesses in the evil organization’s defenses.

"We’ll split into small teams and launch a surprise attack from multiple directions," Bena quickly ordered.

The teams moved out at once, launching their planned assault on the evil organization. Caught completely off guard by the sudden attack, the enemy ranks descended into chaos.
