"Zzz..."

The walkie-talkie in the Salvation Army squad leader's hand crackled with interference, soon followed by an echo:

"I hear you, what's the situation?"

The captain immediately used the briefest words to inform the underground exploration team of the appearance of Lin Feng and the Holy Spring Sect Combat Priests, as well as their operational objective.

Due to the intense energy waves within the relics, any radio communication would be interfered with, so contact with the underground main force was only possible via wired communication.

Data line transmission is most resistant to interference.

However, the line had to extend several kilometers underground, requiring tens of kilometers of communication lines.

And at the other end of the line, in the Feicheng Shelter relic, six floors underground,

a group of more than ten people was stationed outside a large iron door, setting up a temporary camp.

The ruins around them were pitch black and filled with thick fog, with powerful mutants occasionally emerging from the black mist to attack unexpectedly.

This kept the camp's guards on high alert.

Fortunately, they each carried a box of heavy fuel bottles, and their flamethrowers, aside from Holy Spring Water, were the big killers against biological mutants.

With flames burning at thousands of degrees, even a Tier Two Mutant would be charred to cinders.

After securing the camp's safety with ten flamethrower-wielding members, the other members in the rear could safely use their laser thermal melting guns to cut through the tightly closed iron door behind them.

Behind the large iron door lay the entrance to the abyss seven floors below the relic.

This iron door, which isolated inside from outside, had its internal mechanism completely locked since it was last opened by a Special-level Hunter, and could now only be opened from the inside.

To enter the last four floors of the underground relic again, they would have to manually force the door open.

At this time, the communications technician, upon receiving the notification, immediately reported the situation to the chief of the Salvation Army.

"Captain Bai, there's word from above."

Beside the iron door, a young woman with silver-white short hair, clad in light armor, was directing her subordinates on cutting through the iron door.

Unlike the other team members, she wore no mask to block airborne bacteria and genetic contamination.

On the contrary, her body had large patches of snow-white skin exposed to the decaying air, as if the ruin's terrifying contamination and radiation could not harm her in the least.

In addition, hanging on the leather equipment belt of her light armor were numerous bottles and jars of various sizes, resembling old Earth thermos bottles, incongruous with her leader status.

Upon hearing news of Lin Feng and others, the seemingly young female chief of the Salvation Army allowed a subtle smile to lift her lips:

"Is it the firearms superpower user Duncan mentioned?"

The communications officer nodded:

"Yes, he has two large-caliber firearms with formidable firepower, and Duncan's recommended new member Lisa also seems to know him well."

On hearing about firearms and firepower, the woman squatting before the iron door, wearing a welding mask, coughed lightly.

She was the team mechanic, with a bronzed muscular build, and one of only two Tier Two Evolvers in this Salvation Army team, second in command after the leader.

Named Ma Li, she had a completely different style from the leader.

The woman paused her laser gun, her voice rough:

"Are they really a firearms superpower user?"

"I wonder about his strength; perhaps he can assist in this operation. We desperately need heavy firepower, especially since there might be Tier Three mutants in the deepest layers of the relic."

"Fire is of limited lethality against them."

"Bai Ye, if we could get him to cooperate or recruit him into the team, we could solve our firepower shortage problem."

Despite the Church's orders and Guild's acquiescence, firearms and ammunition were overly abundant in the wasteland, but the trade and circulation of artillery were strictly controlled.

Even with the Guild's cooperative trade, the artillery that reached the Wandering Force was very limited.

Without powerful firepower, many tasks would be challenging, such as relic exploration and raiding official settlements for resources...

Upon hearing the suggestion, Bai Ye pondered, his silver-white short hair glistening under the laser light:

"You're right, that's also why Duncan and Lisa initially wanted to recommend him to join the Salvation Army. It's a pity he's already used the Evolutionary Source Material from the Rock-Horned Horse, limiting his evolution potential in this lifetime."

"Otherwise, recruiting him could become a significant aid to us."

"We'll see if we can't break through. For now, let's focus on time, after the munitions factory operation, we still need to visit Wolf Ao for detailed discussions and to formulate a plan."

The welding Ma Li nodded, recalling earlier trips with Captain Bai to Fallen Wolf Valley to negotiate cooperation with the clan leader-level Desolate Wolf stationed there.

That Late Tier Two, Level 29 Desolate Wolf was the size of a heavy truck, could block the entire entrance of the ruin.

This giant wolf was not only powerful but also possessed human-like intelligence, naming itself Wolf Ao, its ancestry was among the five wolf generals under the Wolf King's command back then, of noble lineage.

Yet today, the once proud clan leader-level giant wolf had reached its twilight years, and its descendants' Evolution Levels had plateaued for various reasons.

Only three Mid-Tier Two Desolate Wolves remained.

Unable to find a Holy Land Guardian successor to take over Fallen Wolf Valley, the Salvation Army's leader Bai Ye thought of a mutually beneficial solution.
