Chen Yu and Lin Lele quickly made their way through the chaotic corridor, the sounds of intense gunfire and explosions echoing in their ears, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and the tension of the moment.
After passing through several emergency-sealed gates, Chen Yu and Lin Lele finally arrived at the outer defense zone of the base.
A group of ragged, menacing-looking adult men were frantically attacking the makeshift defensive line built by Li Hongling's team. They were armed with all sorts of weapons, from simple sticks to modified firearms.
Li Hongling's team, though mostly composed of children, displayed resilience and courage beyond their years. They utilized the terrain to their advantage and organized an effective counterattack, but the situation was clearly not optimistic.
Although Li Hongling's side had a weapon advantage, most of them were children, and their physical strength and mental fortitude were no match for adult enemies. In the long run, defeat was inevitable.
Li Hongling understood this as well, so she did not organize an attack immediately, but instead had everyone retreat in an orderly manner.
Their stronghold was essentially a prison. As long as they didn't confront the enemy outside head-on, they could defend it without any problems by utilizing the prison's sturdy structure and complex layout.
However, the problem now is that there are too many members outside, and the enemy has also realized Li Hongling's intentions, constantly launching attacks on the prison entrance, trying to cut off the members' retreat route.
In order to rescue the team members trapped outside, Li Hongling had to have the team members launch a frontal attack on the enemy to repel them and clear an escape route for the team members outside.
Seeing one wounded soldier after another fall to the ground, Chen Yu frowned deeply. These were all children!
Faced with this situation, Chen Yu knew he couldn't stand idly by. He disregarded everything else and immediately retrieved two M240 machine guns from the other-dimensional space, handing one of them to Lin Lele.
Lin Lele was startled by the weapon Chen Yu had suddenly produced, but she quickly understood when she remembered that Chen Yu had an alternate dimension.
At this point, there was no time to lose, and Lin Lele had no time to think about anything else.
She mustered all her strength, hoisted the heavy M240 machine gun, and charged out with Chen Yu.
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat~" The two machine guns fired simultaneously, like two walls of death, instantly suppressing the surging enemy.
Bullets rained down, instantly tearing a gap in the enemy's lines. Chen Yu and Lin Lele's fire support gave the previously passive children a precious chance to catch their breath.
The remaining enemies were also taken aback; they hadn't expected such powerful firepower to suddenly appear.
For a moment, the originally fierce offensive was temporarily halted, and the enemy's formation began to fall into disarray.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Hongling loudly instructed the children: "Quickly, take advantage of this opportunity to retreat to a safe area!"
The children followed instructions and retreated quickly and orderly into the prison.
Chen Yu and Lin Lele continued to suppress the enemy with machine guns to ensure the safety of their retreat route.
However, the enemy quickly recovered from their initial shock and began to reorganize their offensive, attempting to break through Chen Yu and Lin Lele's firepower.
Some enemies even began to try to flank or rear the two men in an attempt to launch a surprise attack.
Chen Yu and Lin Lele realized this, and they began to flexibly adjust their shooting angles and rhythms to deal with threats from different directions.
At the same time, they were also looking for an opportunity to find a breakthrough and defeat the enemy's offensive in one fell swoop.
"Bang bang bang~" Enemy bullets inevitably struck Chen Yu and Lin Lele's combat uniforms, making dull sounds.
Although the specially designed combat suits could effectively resist bullet penetration, every impact made them feel a strong shock, as if every heartbeat resonated with this intense battle.
Fortunately, the enemy's weapons were greatly reduced in performance under such extreme cold; otherwise, Chen Yu and Lin Lele would have been riddled with bullets even though they were wearing bulletproof combat suits.
At this point, the two had no way out. They knew that they could not back down, whether for the sake of the children's lives or for their own.
In fact, Chen Yu wasn't completely without a way to eliminate the enemy. He could easily pull out a powerful weapon from his alternate dimension, even an infantry fighting vehicle, which could change the course of the battle.
However, if he were to produce such a thing at this moment, the secret of his other-dimensional space would likely be completely lost. He could kill all the thugs to silence them, but what about the children? He couldn't possibly harm hundreds of children just to cover up his secret, could he?
Therefore, he does not intend to take out the ultimate weapon from the other dimension unless absolutely necessary.
"Li Hongling, this can't go on. Quickly release my 'militia' fighters and let them come and help!" Chen Yu shouted to Li Hongling while firing.
Li Hongling was still organizing the children's retreat when she heard Chen Yu's shouts, and she was slightly taken aback.
After a slight hesitation, Li Hongling nodded.
He immediately gave the order.
At this moment, Chen Yu and Lin Lele were overwhelmed by the surging enemy. These people seemed fearless, falling one after another to the muzzle of Chen Yu and Lin Lele's guns, only to be replaced by another wave of them.
Moreover, because of the large number of corpses piled up in front, they now have cover, making it difficult for them to completely overwhelm the enemy with firepower.
The two had no choice but to retreat temporarily. They stood back to back, using the ruins of the prison perimeter as makeshift cover, and temporarily reached a stalemate with the enemy. The enemy could not break through, and they could not repel the enemy.
