"Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap~"
Led by Chen Yu, the militiamen marched forward in orderly steps.
Given the confined space, if Li Yi were to launch a desperate counterattack, it could easily result in unnecessary casualties.
Despite the dissuasion of the militia members, Chen Yu ran at the very front of the group.
This caused the militia members to feel both worried and warmed.
If it were any other leader in this situation, it would definitely be these ordinary soldiers who would be scouting ahead.
As the de facto leader of the Tianyu Base, Chen Yu not only possesses outstanding leadership skills but also has a heart that cares for his subordinates.
To be able to lead from the front in such a dangerous environment—what courage and responsibility that is!
Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "Mr. Chen, be careful! There's someone ahead carrying a deadly weapon!"
"Protect Mr. Chen!" Upon hearing this, the surrounding militiamen immediately reacted and prepared to rush forward to block Chen Yu.
However, the secret passage was too cramped, and the soldiers were unable to quickly deploy their defensive formation. In their panic, they ended up in complete disarray.
Moreover, at this moment, a fire dragon swept in like a raging storm.
"Da da da da da~"
"You bunch of traitors, if you want to arrest my Li Lang, you'll have to get past me first!" Amidst the fierce gunfire, Li Yi's secretary, Zhang Ying, held a submachine gun, her eyes filled with determination and madness.
Her once dignified and beautiful face was now contorted with anger and tension as she fired incessantly at the militia fighters, trying to stop their advance.
Chen Yu, standing at the very front, naturally bore the brunt of the attack.
However, Chen Yu dared to walk at the front not because he was arrogant, nor because he valued his subordinates' lives more than his own.
It's not because he has an alternate dimension that he possesses.
His alternate dimension is a self-contained space. Although he usually uses it to store supplies, it can also be used as a defensive weapon if used properly.
Once the alternate dimension is opened, nothing can get close to him.
During his advance, the extradimensional space between his eyebrows remained slightly open, forming an invisible barrier to prevent any sudden changes.
If he didn't have such a means of survival, he would naturally have ordered his soldiers to run ahead and act as human shields without hesitation.
He was neither the kind of person who was fearless and righteous, nor the kind of person who couldn't accept the sacrifice of his subordinates.
Rather, such meaningless sacrifices are unnecessary.
Why not minimize casualties while effectively mitigating risks?
Because of the extradimensional space around him, the bullets Zhang Ying fired at him were drawn by a mysterious force before they even got close, and were all led into a distorted spatial passage, disappearing without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without even making a sound.
"Da da da~" Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Yu also made a decisive move, firing a series of bullets into Zhang Ying's body.
Zhang Ying fell to the ground with a look of resentment. She couldn't understand why her marksmanship was so bad.
In such a narrow passage, they managed not to kill or even injure a single person on the other side.
"Mr. Chen, are you alright?" Several militiamen behind him immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, their eyes filled with worry for Chen Yu's safety.
Because the passage to the other dimension was invisible and intangible, the militiamen had no idea what was happening. They only knew that the enemy had been fighting for a long time, with sparks flying everywhere, but had not caused any harm to Chen Yu or any of them, as if they were all firing blanks.
Chen Yu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
Then his tone hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "Keep chasing! Don't let him get away!"
As he spoke, he continued to lead the way deeper into the secret passage.
The militiamen admired Chen Yu even more. They had just been attacked, yet Chen Yu still dared to charge ahead. This was the true demeanor of a great general!
No wonder Chen Yu was able to build such a massive base as Tianyu Base!
When they passed Zhang Ying, she was still alive. Chen Yu ordered two soldiers to drag her aside and interrogate her, hoping to get some information out of her before she died.
He himself led the remaining soldiers to continue the pursuit of Li Yi.
"Sigh~! Sister Zhang, why did you do this?" Chen Lan, who was following at the back, sighed as she passed Zhang Ying. "Li Yi is not worth you giving your life for."
"Pah! Chen Lan, you vile woman! You actually betrayed the leader! Just you wait! The leader will not lose. One day, he will make a comeback and take back everything that belongs to him! And he will tear you to pieces!" Zhang Ying said through gritted teeth with her last bit of strength. Her eyes were filled with blind trust and obsession with Li Yi.
"Sigh~!" Chen Lan shook his head and sighed again.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and catch up!" Lin Lele, who was walking in front, turned around and scolded Chen Lan.
She felt that she was getting old and her physical strength was not keeping up, so she used the excuse of escorting Chen Lan to slowly follow behind the team instead of running forward like Chen Yu and the militiamen.
Chen Lan, startled by Lin Lele's shout, didn't dare to slack off and quickly quickened her pace to catch up with Lin Lele.
She knew that although Lin Lele didn't seem very bright, her position was extraordinary; she was the commander of that group of soldiers.
She even suspected that Lin Lele might be a love-struck fool, and that the man called "Mr. Chen" was able to thrive so much because he hooked up with this not-so-bright female commander.
Although Lin Lele addressed Mr. Chen as "commander," the soldiers called him "Mr. Chen."
Such a form of address is rather strange, after all, Lin Lele is the commander of that group of soldiers, but the soldiers call their commander "commander" "Mr. Chen", which is really a mess.
Therefore, there is only one possibility.
The "commander" that Lin Lele refers to here is not a "commander" in the true sense, but rather a kind of nickname between lovers.
Just like Li Yi in the past, under certain circumstances, he often had the girls in the mansion call him "master".
The more Chen Lan thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed.
Therefore, in her view, getting rid of this female commander was more important and easier than getting rid of Mr. Chen if she wanted to survive.
As Chen Lan walked, he secretly observed Lin Lele.
She noticed that although Lin Lele seemed to obey Chen Yu on the surface, there was a hint of worry hidden in her eyes from time to time.
This anxiety seems to stem from uncertainty about the future, or from concerns about certain actions of Chen Yu.
Chen Lan secretly plotted how to use this to get closer to Lin Lele.
