Global Shelter Game

Just as the convoy’s resistance was weakening and they were on the verge of being overrun by the mutated creatures, Bena was considering whether he should intervene.

A silver figure flashed out from the convoy.

The mutated black bear, which had been so menacing just a moment ago, was sent flying.

Bena’s eyes narrowed at the sight of this figure.

He was very familiar with it—a T-45 power armor.

But in the next moment, his brow furrowed.

He knew the strength of power armor. Wearing it, one could easily kill the three large mutated creatures before them.

’So why did they just stand by and watch the convoy members get killed by the mutated creatures without making a move?’

However, he immediately found out why they hadn’t.

Just as the T-45 power armor killed the mutated black bear, two missiles trailing a brilliant blue light landed right next to it.

The missiles didn’t explode on impact. Instead, they erupted in a flash of blue light, releasing a pulsing ring.

The next second, the T-45 power armor, which had been turning to deal with a nearby mutated jackal, suddenly lost control and crashed heavily to the ground.

The team members exchanged glances, and Bena said in a low voice,

"It’s an EMP!"

He finally understood why the Steel Brotherhood hadn’t deployed their power armor until now.

Apparently, the Steel Brotherhood had long since realized that the mutated creatures were being controlled by someone.

They had been worried about the enemy having some trick up their sleeve, which was why they held back the power armor.

But things rarely go according to plan. The gap in strength between the two sides was just too wide.

The convoy was ultimately forced to use the power armor.

And the enemy had achieved their goal, using EMP missiles to paralyze it.

A grave look flashed in Bena’s eyes. He knew the situation was far more complex than he had anticipated.

The enemy could not only control mutated creatures but also possessed advanced weapons like EMPs. They were clearly no ordinary faction.

Moreover, this attack was likely aimed specifically at this convoy, perhaps even specifically at its T-45 power armor.

Back in the shelter, Ye Yun also received feedback from Unit 2.

Ye Yun hadn’t expected to have such a fateful connection with the Steel Brotherhood.

He had just robbed their warehouse, and now he was running into them again in the wasteland.

Except this time, it wasn’t him robbing them, but someone else.

The corner of Ye Yun’s mouth twitched. ’Anyone who didn’t know better would think the Steel Brotherhood was just a piece of juicy meat for the taking.’

He immediately entered a new task into his wristband.

[Support the Steel Brotherhood convoy, ensuring your own safety.]

[Evaluation Type: Support Mission]

[Assessing mission risk...]

[Assessment: White Item Drop Rate 14%, Green Item Drop Rate 33.5%, Blue Item Drop Rate: 41.495%, Purple Item Drop Rate: 11.005%, Risk: 47.24%]

Seeing the shockingly high risk percentage, Ye Yun sucked in a sharp breath.

’Holy hell,’ he thought. ’Unbelievable.’

’Looks like the enemy’s strength is absurdly high.’

The risk of storming the Blood Saber Gang’s main camp was only 9%.

If he used the Blood Saber Gang as a measuring stick, this enemy was equivalent to almost five Blood Saber Gangs.

Ye Yun felt a headache coming on.

The main reasons he’d been able to wipe out the Blood Saber Gang last time were the traps and the terrain. More importantly, the ones pursuing Bena and the others hadn’t been the gang’s full force.

That was what had made the last battle relatively easy.

He immediately deleted the command he had just entered and typed in a new one.

[Let both sides fight it out, then move in.]

[Evaluation Type: Ambush]

[Assessing mission risk...]

[Assessment: White Item Drop Rate 14%, Green Item Drop Rate 30.5%, Blue Item Drop Rate: 31.495%, Purple Item Drop Rate: 24.005%, Risk: 34.24%]

Ye Yun frowned when he saw the risk assessment.

This risk level was slightly lower than before, but it was still a high 34%. This was far beyond what he was willing to accept.

After only a moment’s hesitation, Ye Yun made his choice.

He certainly coveted the convoy’s supplies and that suit of power armor, but that was conditional on him being alive to take them.

The risk was too high now. With a risk level of over one-third, he wouldn’t be tempted even if there were more than just one suit of power armor.

[Remain hidden and wait for the battle to end.]

[Evaluation Type: Stealth]

[Assessing mission risk...]

[Assessment: White Item Drop Rate 38%, Green Item Drop Rate 30.5%, Blue Item Drop Rate: 31.495%, Purple Item Drop Rate: 0.005%, Risk: 1.024%]

The risk of staying hidden was drastically lower.

He decided to have Bena’s team observe for now and not act rashly.

Ye Yun immediately sent the new order to Bena.

"Bena, get to cover immediately."

"Don’t rush to engage. We’ll decide what to do based on how things develop."

Although Bena was a little confused by Ye Yun’s order, he didn’t question it and immediately led his team to find a concealed position.

They quickly found a deserted building nearby.

With Neil’s help, the team soon found a suitable hiding spot inside the building.

They used scavenged materials to create some simple camouflage for the building, making sure their position wouldn’t be easily discovered.

As per Bena’s arrangements, Zhou Mei and Hawke were tasked with monitoring the battle outside, while the others rested inside the building, ready to respond to any unexpected developments.

Bena himself kept a close watch on the fight through an observation window.

As time went on, the fighting outside grew more and more intense.

Without the protection of the T-45 power armor, the Steel Brotherhood convoy suffered mounting casualties under the siege of mutated creatures.

Although they fought back desperately, their formation began to break under the combined assault of the two large mutated creatures.

Just as the mutated creatures were about to achieve a decisive victory, another silver figure appeared.

Bena sucked in a cold breath. ’Holy hell, the convoy doesn’t just have one suit of power armor, they have two!!!’

The T-45 power armor charged across the battlefield, once again sending a mutated creature flying.

But just then, another two EMP missiles landed near the power armor.

A blue light flashed, and the power armor once again lost control, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Just how many EMPs do these guys have???"

Bena was shocked. He hadn’t expected the enemy to have prepared so many EMP missiles.

This kind of high-end hardware wasn’t easy to come by. The enemy had clearly prepared extremely well for this battle.

The identity of the person hiding behind the scenes was becoming more and more suspicious. They had obviously known there was more than one suit of power armor in the convoy, which was why they had specially prepared so many EMP missiles.
