Chapter 372: Enter The Underground Shelter

"Sure," Li Zhen replied, pulling out his satellite phone. After dialing a number, he waited for the call to connect.

"How is the situation on your end?" He asked.

A man's voice replied, "The mutant desert beetles suddenly retreated, but we are still dealing with the remaining mutant giant birds."

"What about the other areas?" Li Zhen inquired.

After a brief silence, the man responded, "I'm not sure about the north and east outer walls, but I heard Captain Li Tianyu and Captain Wu Lian are handling those areas."

"Understood. Retreat to the underground shelter as soon as you have dealt with the mutant giant birds," Li Zhen instructed.

"Yes, sir."

Ending the call, Li Zhen turned to Yao Ran and reported, "The situation at the south outer wall is under control. The soldiers and ability users are finishing off the remaining mutant giant birds. As for the north and east outer walls, Captains Li and Captain Wu are in charge, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Hearing his report, Yao Ran nodded. "Good. The wind is getting stronger. We need to head back now, or we will be trapped here when the sandstorm worsens."

Li Zhen agreed and said, "I will arrange the vehicles. Please rest for now."

After saying that, he informed Long Yu before leaving with his team to prepare transportation.

Meanwhile, Yao Ran distributed diluted lake water to the soldiers and ability users. Since eating outdoors was impractical due to the sandstorm, she handed out energy bars to everyone to fill their stomachs and regain their energy.

Half an hour later, Li Zhen returned. He looked at the others and said, "Everyone, please board the military trucks. Once everyone is on board, we will depart."

Hearing what he said, the ability users carried those who had fainted or were too weak to walk and followed Li Zhen's subordinates to the military trucks.

As the group prepared to leave, the captain guarding the wall said, "I will stay behind to stand guard."

Li Zhen shook his head when he heard his plan and rejected it. "No. Wind speeds will reach 100 kilometers per hour in two hours. Commander Xu has ordered everyone to retreat to the underground shelter. No one is to remain here."

The captain frowned and said, "But what if there is another attack? Without anyone guarding the wall, we might be too late to respond."

Li Zhen shared the same concern but replied firmly, "This is an order, not a discussion." Realizing there was no room for negotiation, the captain reluctantly nodded. "Understood." With that, everyone descended from the wall and boarded the military trucks.

As they were on their way to the underground shelter, Yao Ran and the others remained alert. When they saw no signs of mutant desert beetles, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When the convoy approached the underground shelter, the soldiers guarding the entrance heard the sound of the engine. One of them activated his vision ability and looked into the distance.
