"No, stop!" Chen Yu shouted incoherently, then suddenly sat up in bed, his pajamas soaked with sweat and his face pale.
"Sir, what's wrong with you these past few days? I've been having nightmares every night," Lin Lele said, yawning and rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Chen Yu swallowed hard, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and asked, "What time is it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lele picked up her phone from the bedside table with a hint of helplessness, glanced at the time, and replied, "It's just past 6 o'clock."
"It's still early, go back to sleep. You've been having nightmares every night and haven't been getting enough rest. Last night, those crazy guys from the transport team caused trouble, and we were busy until midnight. The village chief even called us to a meeting at 9 a.m. So we need to get some rest."
Lin Lele's voice carried a hint of drowsiness, but more than that, it reflected her concern for Chen Yu's condition.
"6 o'clock..." Chen Yu murmured, his eyes flickering in the dim light, as if he were still immersed in the nightmare he had just experienced.
Then, he took a deep breath, rolled out of bed, and pulled out one end of an antenna from the other dimension, inserting it into a hidden hole in the ceiling.
As he once again activated the antenna in the other-dimensional space to extend outwards, the antenna inside the small hole rapidly pushed upwards.
Soon, the antenna pierced through the more than 30-meter-deep snow above, and its tip stood upright on the snow surface.
After installing the receiver, Chen Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered, "Wu Sen, are the soldiers ready?"
A short while later, Wu Sen replied through Chen Yu's walkie-talkie: "Mr. Chen, everything is ready and we are just waiting for your instructions."
Chen Yu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Remember, do not act without my orders. You must hide your whereabouts and not let the people at the Fireseed Base find you."
"Understood, Mr. Chen." On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Wu Sen's voice was steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable loyalty and execution ability.
Chen Yu put down the walkie-talkie and his gaze fell once again on the antenna that pierced through the snow and pointed straight to the sky.
This time, he did not retract the antenna as usual, because he knew that in a few hours, Li Liguo would lead the Fire Seed warriors from the Fire Seed Base to sweep through Wenshui Village.
He wasn't afraid of being exposed.
That's right, today marks the 7th day since the villagers of Wenshui Village rescued the Fire Seed Base transport team. In the previous life, the residents of Wenshui Village were brutally slaughtered by Li Liguo and his men on this very day.
In his previous life, Chen Yu was a member of the transport team. Although he did not participate in the massacre of the villagers, he ultimately allowed this tragedy to happen because of his weakness and cowardice.
He witnessed Li Liguo's bestial behavior and personally experienced the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Fire Seed Base.
In his previous life, he could only watch helplessly as Wenshui Village was destroyed and innocent villagers died tragically before his eyes.
In this life, he will absolutely not allow such a situation to happen again. This is to save the villagers of Wenshui Village, and also to save his own soul!
"Sir, I'm just wondering, why are you so sure that Li Liguo would bring armed personnel from the Fire Seed Base to commit violence? Although Li Liguo escaped, according to his accomplices, didn't they want the villagers of Wenshui Village to surrender voluntarily?" Lin Lele asked疑惑地.
"Heh, because I know him." Chen Yu sneered, "Li Liguo is cunning by nature, greedy and insatiable, trying to gain a huge credit! Subduing Wenshui Village is far from enough for him."
He had experienced it in his previous life, so he knew it all very well. However, he couldn't tell Lin Lele the truth, so he could only use this excuse to appease her.
"But Li Liguo only ran away last night. I remember you had Captain Wu and his men ambush the village five days ago. Did you already anticipate that Li Liguo would bring people to attack?" Lin Lele asked, her eyes filled with curiosity and confusion.
"Ahem~" Chen Yu coughed lightly, a hint of embarrassment on his face. "I did this to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances."
"Oh, I see." Lin Lele nodded, seemingly understanding.
"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer. I'm going out for a bit." Chen Yu said as he put on his winter coat. Before leaving, Chen Yu glanced back at Lin Lele to make sure she was lying down again and covered with the blanket before he left the room.
At this moment, the passageway, more than 30 meters below the snow, was eerily quiet. The sparse light bulbs on both sides of the passage emitted a faint glow, barely illuminating the way forward.
Chen Yu's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, each step sounding unusually heavy.
"Who?" A deep, wary voice suddenly broke the silence from the depths of the passage.
