Chapter 604 An Exploding Plan
Lu Yu swung his claw and ripped Chen Xu to shreds as soon as he finished speaking.
Blood spurted from him and splattered on those around him.
Duan Lin gasped when he saw Chen Xu's corpse; he was now terrified.
He was reckless and loved to fight, but when he saw the difference in their strength, he sobered up and calmed down.
"Please, brother, spare me. I recognize my error..."
As Lu Yu approached, Duan Lin's entire body trembled. Simultaneously, he clasped his hands together and pleaded.
A sharp sword slashed out and chopped off Duan Lin's head the following moment.
The two team captains were killed, and the remaining members cowered in a corner, staring in horror at Lu Yu and Xu Mo.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, showed no mercy. He charged forward like a tiger charging into a herd of sheep, slaughtering them quickly.
The entire room was covered in blood in less than a minute, and the air was filled with the smell of iron.
"Are they all dead? I don't think any of them got away, do you?"
Xu Mo raised his head. "No, they're all here. In this stronghold, there are only the two of us left."
"All right, should we go ahead with the plan to blow up the city?" Lu Yu inquired.
This task was entirely dependent on Xu Mo. After all, it was Xu Mo who was carrying out the mission. There was nothing Lu Yu could do if he weren't willing.
"No worries. The issue is that I do not have any explosives with me."
Lu Yu lowered his gaze to his phone and stated, "It's still early in the morning. I can notify Qin Yang and request that he send a few people to rush over with enough explosives."
"I'm afraid we don't have enough time. Their signal cable has been severed, and maintenance personnel will be dispatched to investigate. We have no idea when they will arrive."
Lu Yu responded disapprovingly, "It's just maintenance personnel, and they shouldn't be too powerful. They aren't specialized combatants, so it shouldn't be too difficult."
Xu Mo's eyes gleamed. "Do you mean we should kill those who come in for maintenance?"
"That's correct. There's no reason for us to continue on this mission if the two of us can't even defeat maintenance personnel."
Xu Mo nodded, realizing Lu Yu's assertions were correct. "Okay, then, contact that person. I'm hoping they can get there as soon as possible."
Lu Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and briefed Qin Yang on the situation, telling him to begin preparations.
The two found chairs and sat in front of the table, which Lu Yu wiped clean the blood off it.
He removed an A4 paper document from a safe. "Stronghold Journal," it said on the first page.
Obviously, this document was used to keep track of what happened in the stronghold daily.
This journal was the entry for this month. There were records every day, but they were all boorish to read.
Because this location was so well-hidden, there were rarely any accidents.
Until today, that is. Lu Yu then flipped through the records from the day before.
"The latest news is that the enemy has taken over our southern mine, and that person is Lu Yu. We must be prepared to set up sentries to keep watch as enemies approach."
Lu Yu read it aloud and then examined his personal information below.
"This group of guys is excellent at gathering information. Furthermore, they don't appear to be in a hurry to reclaim the mines."
Xu Mo took a copy of the journal and read it, replying, "Without a doubt. They must have put in a lot of effort to establish a stronghold here, so they won't be able to expose themselves easily."
"As a result, they will be extremely cautious in their actions."
"But, now that we're here, doesn't that mean their headquarters has been revealed?" Lu Yu said, smiling.
"That's correct, but there's something else they're wary of, which are the Claine Crystals. They are afraid that the military might take these crystals because they can open a passage for them..."
"That's correct. This is probably why they are afraid to retake the mines quickly, "Lu Yu said with a nod.
"Let us wait here in that case. We can take action once the explosives are delivered. What happens next will be determined by you."
As he patted Xu Mo's shoulder, Lu Yu stated.
Xu Mo proudly smiled. "This is an incredible opportunity for me. If I can accomplish this, I will have made a significant contribution. The military will undoubtedly award me first-class merit when the time comes!"
"That's for sure," Lu Yu said, smiling. "First-class merit is yours if you can complete such a great task!"
"However, I believe you should take the majority of the credit. We might not have discovered the enemy's secret and would not have known that a crisis was approaching our world if it hadn't been for you."
When he said that, Xu Mo let out a long sigh, and his face became solemn. "The human world is on the verge of a crisis, but only a small number of people are aware of it."
"Don't worry; we'll handle it..."
...
As Lu Yu and Xu Mo finished cleaning the insides, corpses piled up in the outpost; Lu Yu and Xu Mo proceeded to rest for a moment.
Snow was falling outside the building, and a cold wind was howling. A cold blue light was everywhere, and the scene of ice and snow made people fearful.
A line of black shadows moved forward in the cold wind on the white snow.
Three people were in the lead, dragging a machine behind them.
"The signal from the stronghold had failed. It appears to be a cable issue, and the investigation will take some time." The leader said as he sported a thick beard.
He was wrapped up like a black bear in a thick coat.
"Boss, this machine should be upgraded soon. It's too exhausting to rely on this machine to conduct an investigation!" One of his subordinates stated.
The man with the beard snorted coldly. "Do you think I don't want to upgrade it? It's difficult to build a machine operating in this snowy environment, so just make do!"
"Boss, do you think someone destroyed one of our outposts, and that's why the signal was cut off?" the last person asked solemnly.
The bearded man turned around and smiled at him. "You've only recently joined, right? This isn't the first time a problem has arisen with this signal cable."
"In this snowy environment, communication signals are volatile. Without a signal enhancement device, it is impossible to contact someone using only a walkie-talkie."
"We can only push ourselves to keep moving forward. This isn't the first time this has happened."
"If anyone is brave enough to invade our outpost, that person is truly audacious and reckless!"
"At least for the time being, no one in this world dares to invade our territory directly!"
The bearded man asserted confidently, and his two subordinates puffed their chests with pride.
They were all conscious of what they were fighting for!
They hid in a remote corner like rats in the sewers, believing they would achieve an incredible feat!
"We'll leave this damn place and enter a new world sooner or later!" The bearded man exclaimed as he looked up at the snow-covered sky.
