"In a bit, I don't expect you to kill the enemy, just protect yourselves!" Chen Gu said solemnly. Qiao Shuangyi suddenly panicked. "Brother Chen, you promised to look out for me during the new recruit training..."

Chen Gu felt helpless. After a thought, he said, "Alright, stay behind me."

He missed Dora a little right now. At a time like this, Big Rabbit wouldn't be a drag at all. On the contrary, her abilities were extremely suited for this kind of battle. With nine guns at her disposal, she could charge out and, with a burst of rapid fire, might not even need anyone else to take action—she alone could deal with these Subterraneans.

Lin Xiaochen heard this and, not caring whether Brother Chen agreed or not, shamelessly followed Qiao Shuangyi. The two were like stubborn leeches, relentlessly sticking themselves to Great Actor Chen.

Han Zhuangzhi and the other warriors were somewhat excited. "Brother Chen, a big scene?"

"Heh heh..." Chen Gu laughed. "Consider it a big scene, with plenty of military spoils to be had!"

"Good, we'll all follow Brother Chen's command."

The scout squad had ten people in total. Chen Gu divided them into five groups, with two people in each group covering each other back-to-back. Then, after some additional instructions, he gave the order, "Charge!"

The group suddenly burst out, with Chen Gu constantly issuing orders.

"Group Three, upper left cave mouth!"

"Group One, shadow to the right rear!"

"Group Five, subterranean passage straight ahead..."

Following Chen Gu's every command, the warriors moved swiftly, pouring fire in the directions he indicated.

Subterraneans pounced out one after another, baring fangs and brandishing claws. They were immediately met by a barrage of energy ammunition that riddled their bodies with bloody holes, sending them screaming as they collapsed to the ground.

Chen Gu, armed with dual pistols, specifically picked off any that slipped through.

The terrain in this area was complex and interconnected, with large and small caves winding about, offering numerous spots for ambushes.

But no matter how cleverly the Subterraneans hid their ambushes, they were "plain as day" in Chen Gu's eyes. Their ferocious assaults turned into suicidal charges right into the muzzles of the squad's guns.

Han Zhuangzhi and the others grew increasingly proficient and synchronized with Chen Gu. The entire process felt like a shooting drill. They hardly needed to consider any danger; they just had to follow commands and keep firing, and targets would practically deliver themselves to be reaped.

They advanced steadily for ten minutes, and each warrior's kill count reached double digits.

Qiao Shuangyi and Lin Xiaochen, hiding behind Chen Gu, faced no danger at all. Gradually, they grew bolder and sneakily fired a few shots. Lin Xiaochen managed to kill two Subterraneans, and even the chubby Qiao Shuangyi got one.

Suddenly, they charged toward a massive cave opening. Before them lay an open area when, BANG! A shower of arrows shot out from the darkness!

This was the first time the Subterraneans had demonstrated a "ranged attack" weapon.

The warriors, caught off guard, were shocked and had no time to dodge.

However, they suddenly felt a powerful surge of energy beside them, rushing forward like a tidal wave.

The volley of arrows that could have turned them into human sieves simply hung suspended in mid-air before them.

Through their infrared imaging helmets, they could clearly see the thick layer of poison coating each arrowhead!

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Han Zhuangzhi's face, splattering on the ground at his feet. Simultaneously, Chen Gu waved his hand. The arrows instantly changed direction and shot back even faster.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH—

A series of agonized screams erupted from the vast cave. Countless Subterraneans were hit by their own poisoned arrows, writhing in pain as they fell.

Chen Gu ordered, "Suppressive fire!"

This was what the warriors loved most: the enemy in dense formation, allowing them to unleash an indiscriminate hail of fire!

The roar of energy rifles was deafening. The warriors maintained their suppressive fire for a full thirty seconds until the vast cave fell quiet and the screams disappeared.

From the far end of the cave came the sound of rapidly retreating footsteps—the Subterraneans were withdrawing.

Chen Gu sighed in relief. "Rest in place."
