Global Shelter Game

As the mission time drew near, Ye Yun and the other alliance members made their final preparations.

Ye Yun traded the magnetic shields he had produced to Lei Hu and the others, one by one.

Of course, while preparing for the others, Ye Yun also gave Bena and his men five magnetic shields each.

Although the number was a bit excessive, he felt these preparations were essential to ensure his own people’s survival.

After all, lost resources could be reacquired.

But if a member of the shelter died, the time and energy required to train a replacement would be immense.

At the same time, he also purchased necessary supplies and recovery items to ensure they could promptly handle any situation during the mission.

Lei Hu and the other alliance members also finished preparing their required supplies and equipment.

Time ticked by, and soon, a day had passed.

On the day of the mission, Zhao Hu sent a message to everyone three hours in advance, reconfirming the specific time of the operation.

Ye Yun looked up at the assessment system before him.

[Participate in Lei Hu’s Operation]

[Assessment Type: Resource Point Raid]

[Assessing Mission Risk...]

[Assessment: White Item Drop Rate 9.995%, Green Item Drop Rate 10%, Blue Item Drop Rate 30%, Purple Item Drop Rate 50.005%. Risk Factor: 5.0124%]

Seeing the risk factor had dropped from the original 9% to 5%, Ye Yun nodded with satisfaction.

’Looks like everyone’s preparations weren’t for nothing.’

A single day of preparation had lowered the risk factor from 9% to 5%.

While the previous risk factor had worried him, the new 5% was much more reassuring.

Based on his past experience, it was highly unlikely that any members would die during this mission, though injuries were inevitable.

However, faced with the allure of a suit of power armor, potential casualties were, in his view, an acceptable price to pay.

Ye Yun gave Bena a few more instructions, reminding him to ensure his own safety above all else.

Seeing that the assembly time had arrived, Ye Yun didn’t hesitate.

He walked directly to the Alliance Teleportation Gate.

[Activate the Alliance Teleportation Gate?]

[Yes/No]

[Please insert 100 blue components.]

After Ye Yun inserted the last blue component, the Alliance Teleportation Gate slowly activated, and its light gradually converged into a shimmering curtain.

He glanced back at Bena and his other teammates, confirming that everyone was ready.

"This mission marks our first time cooperating with other shelters."

"Even though all the participating shelters are in our alliance, be sure to watch your backs."

Bena, who was leading the group, nodded.

"Don’t worry, Administrator. I’ll be wary of everyone who isn’t one of us."

Ye Yun chuckled.

"No need to be so tense. We’re in the same alliance, after all. With the system’s protection, they shouldn’t dare to try anything funny."

"Besides, the administrators of the participating shelters have signed a mission agreement through the system."

"The loot from this mission will be distributed based on each shelter’s contribution, so I need all of you to give it your all."

"We still don’t know exactly how many suits of power armor are in their warehouse. If there are only a few, and your contribution is too low, you might not get one."

Bena immediately thumped his chest.

"Don’t you worry, Administrator. We’ll do everything we can to get a suit of power armor."

Bena was naturally the most invested in this matter.

’As the team’s main heavy hitter, if the shelter really managed to get a suit of power armor, he would almost certainly be the one to use it.’

’There was no way he was going to let a suit of power armor slip through his fingers.’

After a few more instructions, Bena, clad in his exoskeleton, stepped through the blue portal first.

Bena felt his body go weightless. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

He glanced around and found himself standing in a spacious hall, surrounded by members of Lei Hu’s shelter.

Lei Hu stepped forward, nodding to Bena and his teammates.

"Welcome! Welcome to my shelter. We’ll gather here first, then discuss the details of the mission."

At Lei Hu’s direction, everyone gathered together.

After a short wait, everyone had arrived in Lei Hu’s shelter via the Teleportation Gate.

The group rested briefly in Lei Hu’s shelter before setting out.

Lei Hu led the team toward the target warehouse.

Thanks to their advance preparations, everyone had brought a vehicle.

A convoy of more than a dozen motorcycles, led by Lei Hu, sped toward the target location.

Faced with such a large convoy, mutated creatures fled from a great distance, terrified of being run down by the rampaging team.

「Five hours later.」

While still some distance from the target warehouse, Lei Hu signaled for the team to halt.

Everyone immediately dismounted and began to camouflage their motorcycles.

However, just as everyone dismounted, a figure emerged from some nearby ruins.

Everyone was already on high alert, and the sudden appearance of the figure made them all turn pale with shock. Many assumed their mission had been compromised.

Bena was the first to react, whipping out his laser gun and aiming it at the figure.

Seeing their reaction, Lei Hu quickly jumped in to stop them.

"Easy, easy! He’s my lookout! Not an enemy!"

Hearing he was a friendly, the group breathed a collective sigh of relief.

The man, stared down by the barrels of more than a dozen weapons, had been scared half to death and took a moment to recover.

Bena nodded to himself. ’Lei Hu is just like the Administrator said he’d be.’

’He looks barbaric and crude, but his methods are meticulous.’

’To think he’d post a lookout this far out just to monitor the enemy’s movements and ensure the mission goes smoothly.’

Bena made a mental note of this. He would be sure to report the situation to Ye Yun in full detail upon his return, but now was not the time for conversation.

’A man like this makes for a great ally, saving you a lot of trouble. But if he were to become an enemy, he’s the type you’d have to eradicate completely.’

’For now, though, he’s an ally, so everything is fine.’

The man hurried to Lei Hu’s side.

"Administrator."

"Nothing unusual at the target warehouse. The patrol schedule is the same as before."

"Their last supply convoy left twelve hours ago."

"Under normal circumstances, the next supply run won’t be for another two days."

"Based on my observations, they just changed the guard an hour ago. The next rotation won’t be for another three hours."

"If we wait another hour, the guards who just got off their shift should be fast asleep. That will be the best time to strike."

Lei Hu nodded, indicating he understood.

He turned to the group and said, "Since there’s nothing out of the ordinary, we’ll proceed according to the original plan.

Remember, our goal is to get in and get out quickly. Don’t linger inside the warehouse."
