Chapter 802 Taking Over
In prison, everyone quickly stood up and looked at Lu Yu excitedly.
"Great, it's you! You're here!"
"You're here to save us, right? Please tell me you aren't with them!"
Lu Yu smiled helplessly. "How could I be on their side? It seems that you've been frightened by their betrayal."
"Now, come out. You're taking over this mine again."
"Lu Yu, are there any more enemies outside?"
"You mean Li Deng and the others? They're all dead."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, but then they started to worry.
"But the people from the Truth Department are still in the ancient ruins, and they will come sooner or later."
"Yeah, the Truth Department is too strong, and we're no match for them. Why don't we go back and ask for more support?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The military is in a complicated state now. We might not be able to get support even if we go back."
At this moment, Lu Yu looked at everyone and declared confidently, "Don't worry, I'll handle the Truth Department so you guys can continue mining. We'll split the ores 50-50."
"But... can you really go against the Truth Department?"
"They are too strong."
"Forget it. You're not their match."
"They have the help of an ancient dragon. How can we be a match for them?"
Lu Yu smiled. "You've been locked up here for half a year, so it's a given you don't know what's going on outside."
"General Yan in the military headquarters couldn't contain his desire for power any longer and began to compete with Wan Guliu for power. Your squad was demolished because that slimy General Yan joined forces with the Truth Department."
"What? How could something like this happen in the military?"
"You must be joking about General Yan betraying the military. He must be crazy to do that!"
"This bastard—if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have to suffer like this!"
"Damn it, fuck him. I'll kill him sooner or later!"
Everyone in prison gritted their teeth in hatred.
"Come, let's leave this palace and retake the mine."
As he spoke, Lu Yu broke the lock.
After that, all the imprisoned soldiers walked out and looked at Lu Yu with gratitude.
"Thank you for coming. If you hadn't come, I'm afraid we would have continued to suffer here..."
"We believe you can definitely defeat the Truth Department!"
Lu Yu's saving them was like giving them a second chance at life. This was why they trusted Lu Yu, who was both their savior and their hero.
"Follow me up. Once we return to the surface, you will naturally know why I am so confident in defeating our enemies."
Lu Yu took the lead, turned around, and walked up.
After leaving the dungeon, he stood at the foot of the snow mountain and looked at the two dragons squatting before him.
The two dragons' bodies were massive as if two large passenger planes were parked before them.
The soldiers from the dungeon walked up and rubbed their eyes when they saw the two colossal dragons. They felt that what they were seeing was magical and unreal.
"Is... Is that a real dragon?"
"Huh, why is there a dragon here?"
"They look so mighty. Such magnificent beings!"
"Lu Yu, are... are those your battle pets?"
Lu Yu looked back and replied, "That's right. They are my battle pets. They are my trump card against the Truth Department."
"I see. No wonder you're so confident..."
Lu Yu looked at the crowd and did a simple count; there were about 50 soldiers left.
This was a very small number of people.
Li Deng must have killed most of the soldiers and only left a portion of them in the dungeon.
"Which one of you holds the highest position?" Lu Yu asked.
At this moment, one of them walked out. It was a young man.
"I'm a lieutenant and followed our captain here, but he's already dead. I'm now the highest-ranking officer here."
"My name is Xu Kai."
"Very good. You can manage this place while I handle the other matters."
"If... if the people from the Truth Department come, will you be the one fighting?"
Lu Yu shrugged. "Do you think you can fight them? Of course, I'll be the one fighting."
"Don't worry. The Truth Department will arrive in two days, so I'll stay around the vicinity."
"Where are you planning to go now?"
Lu Yu pondered momentarily and replied, "I plan to see if Elizabeth is still here."
Logically speaking, since Lu Yu gave Elizabeth a Claine Crystal, she could continue to stay in the ancient ruins. Of course, he wasn't sure if she was still here or not.
After deciding his next action, he walked toward the base.
He went to the communication room of the base. There was an antenna hanging in the communication room that could search for radio signals.
He punched in Elizabeth's channel and connected to it.
After waiting for quite some time, there was still no response.
"Could it be that they left because they were afraid of getting caught by the Truth Department?"
Han Xuefei suggested.
"It's possible. After all, those lunatics from the Truth Department kill without batting an eye. They never care about the other side."
"However, Elizabeth's brother, Walter, is in the Truth Department. The Truth Department shouldn't do anything to Elizabeth."
Han Xuefei heard that and knew that it made sense. "That's true..."
At this moment, a voice sounded.
It was still that familiar voice, but the tone was cold.
"Li Deng, I'm warning you; don't harass me again!"
"It's me, Lu Yu." Lu Yu quickly replied.
"Lu Yu... Why is it you? You're back? When did you return?"
"Yeah, I'm back. I didn't expect you to still be in these ancient ruins."
"That's right. I won't leave until I bring my brother back!"
"Something happened on my side too, but fortunately, I've settled it. By the way, did you just say that Li Deng harassed you?"
"That's correct. He had been contacting me ever since he entered the ancient ruins and discovered my signal, asking me to join the Truth Department. I couldn't take it anymore."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "You can rest assured that Li Deng won't harass you anymore. He's already dead."
"What? Isn't he from the military? It seems like there's a problem on your side as well."
"Yes," Lu Yu answered helplessly. "Some people are too pessimistic and think that we are no match for the old empire."
"Forget about them. If you have time, come find me and let's catch up." Elizabeth suggested.
Lu Yu agreed readily. "No problem. I'll be able to reach you before tonight. Coincidentally, I also want to tell you the purpose of my return here."
"Alright, I'll wait for you then..."
After ending the call, Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei and said, "Let's go find Elizabeth."
They walked out and saw that Xu Kai was organizing people to clean up the place, preparing to take over again.
