Chapter 601 The Outpost

Lu Yu and Xu Mo both had a very bold idea, which was to blow up the Truth Department’s headquarters!

Although this idea was bold, it was a little troublesome to implement.

First of all, they had to sneak in quietly, which was difficult. The main reason was that they knew very little about the headquarters of the Truth Department.

“We can only take one step at a time. If there’s a chance, we must destroy their stronghold!”

Xu Mo looked at Lu Yu and said with a serious tone, “Lu Yu, you know, whether we succeed or fail, it means that the Truth Department knows they’ve been exposed.”

“In the future, their plans will be even more conservative.”

Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn’t help but nod. “That’s true. However, we’ll go to war with them sooner or later. Furthermore, the longer we wait, the greater the risk for us.”

“After all, those who are about to awaken will recover to their peak as time passes.”

There was a vast expanse of white scenery in front of them. The snow had piled into a thick layer on the ground, making it difficult for the warhorses to move forward.

“Go!”

With a light shout, the two mounted their war horses and galloped quickly across the icy field. The warhorses’ vigorous bodies shuttled through the snowflakes.

Qin Yang’s voice rang out, “Just a little more, and you’ll reach a base. It’s an output, like an alert point with scouts.”

After Lu Yu heard it, he replied, “Roger that. I can vaguely see it, and it’s not far from us. We’ll be there soon.”

“Be careful. This stronghold is about five thousand meters away from their headquarters.”

“It’s not too far away, then. I hope there won’t be any accidents in the battle later.”

Lu Yu said, looking at Xu Mo beside him. “We’ll take down this stronghold first and check out the situation later.”

Xu Mo nodded. “No problem. Let’s do it!”

Lu Yu looked into the distance and could vaguely see the silhouette of a building. The building was only three stories high and was surrounded by walls. Two figures could be vaguely seen at the gates.

Lu Yu was worried their position would be exposed, so he stopped his horse and jumped down, planning to continue the journey on foot.

Lu Yu and Xu Mo got off their horses and stopped them in their tracks. The two of them continued to move forward.

“Do you see the two people standing at the gates? There’s a building inside and a guard tower with a person on top.”

Xu Mo nodded. “There should be a lot of people in this stronghold. To be safe, you should look at their strengths and talents.”

Lu Yu didn’t say anything. He just nodded and opened his Eye of the Dragon God.

Lu Yu’s pupils turned into vertical slits and suddenly widened as he stared intently. Even though snowflakes were flying around, it didn’t stop him from checking the situation in front of him.

Soon, he saw the two guards standing at the gates.

“The two guards have an overall strength of Gold rank 5.”

“The one on the guard tower is Gold rank 7.”

Xu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Once we head over, we can kill those two in an instant!”

“Yup. Leave one below and the one above to me. You can just take care of one.” Lu Yu spoke in a relaxed tone.

Xu Mo glanced at Lu Yu and didn’t say anything; he only nodded.

…

The snow fell, and the cold wind whistled. When it hit one’s face, one would feel a tingling pain.

The two guards standing at the gates raised their legs, twisted their waists, and moved their bodies.

“What the hell? I heard from the top that one of our mines had been compromised. Someone actually took our mines.”

A guard commented.

“Tsk, it’s only temporary. Sooner or later, our headquarters will dispatch troops and take it back!”

“Such bold invaders. They don’t even know whose territory they are in!”

“What are you talking about? Who would know that this is our territory? However, among the newcomers is someone quite strong; to think he defeated the leader of a mine!

“Don’t overthink it; so what if they once won against a few small fries? Will they dare come to our headquarters? They would be seeking death!”

“What nonsense are you spouting? He’s just a newcomer who’s not even 20 years old yet. Do you think he has the guts to come to our headquarters?”

The two guards chatted for a while before they continued to stand in place, looking forward and vigilantly.

Although almost no one was in sight on these barren icy fields, they still maintained the highest level of alert.

They knew what they were doing, and that was something that could change the world. As long as they continued working hard for this period of time, they would take over the world with the Ember Empire once the plan went live.

Just as the two scanned their surroundings, a figure suddenly flashed past.

“Eh?”

“Is there something?”

A guard asked, and before he got an answer, the other fell to the ground with a thud.

“Huh? What’s… What’s wrong with you?”

He hurriedly ran over and turned the corpse over, shocked to see an extremely deep cut on the corpse’s neck. Blood was flowing out, and it couldn’t be stopped.

“When… when did it happen?”

He looked around in panic, unable to see what was happening around him.

The next moment, a figure flashed in front of his eyes!

Whoosh!!!

Lu Yu’s figure suddenly appeared before him and swung his right claw. The sharp claw pierced through the guard’s body, tearing him into pieces.

The guard didn’t even have time to squeak before Lu Yu killed him.

Even so, the guard at the sentry tower noticed something strange.

The first fallen guard made a very faint sound. Even though the whistling wind around him quickly covered the sound, it was still detected by his sharp senses.

He looked down and was startled to see two corpses below. Blood was flowing out, dyeing the white snow red.

He panicked because he saw another figure. It was Lu Yu!

However, just as he was about to sound the alarm, he felt another person appear behind him.

He turned around and saw Lu Yu standing behind him.

He quickly turned around to look at the entrance. The figure from earlier had suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of him.

“This speed is impossible. Who are you?”

“You should know who I am. Those two were just talking about me, weren’t they?”

Instantly, the guard took a deep breath. He really did not expect that this man named Lu Yu would find their organization’s headquarters and come attacking!

“Do… do you know what you’re doing?”
