Chapter 1634: Encirclement and Pursuit
A rocket landed, obliterating the spot where Gu Xiaojin and Lu Yi had just been standing.
Having narrowly escaped, Lu Yi stopped to catch his breath. He could even hear his own heart pounding in terror. That hair-raising moment was not something he wanted to experience again.
Suddenly, the bombardment ceased. Everyone stared up at the sky with lingering fear, unable to believe it. Could it be the enemy only intended to bomb for such a short time?
Lu Yi shook his head and began to voice his thoughts: "I don’t think it’s that simple. If the enemy has stopped bombing, it means they’re sending ground troops to attack. I fear..."
Gu Xiaojin, quick-eyed and decisive, cast a spell, silencing Lu Yi.
Lu Yi desperately tried to speak, but no sound came out. Realizing it was a trick pulled by Gu Xiaojin, he immediately gave her an innocent, aggrieved look.
"I’m sorry, Uncle Lu Yi. For everyone’s safety, I have to wrong you just this once," Gu Xiaojin said with an apologetic expression.
Lu Yi was so anxious that he opened his mouth wide, but not a single word came out. However, everyone could tell from his lip movements that he mouthed "What the fuck."
The situation was urgent, and no one cared about Lu Yi’s feelings. Following Jie’s orders, the group split up into smaller teams and took cover in various buildings.
The resistance forces had fought against the X Legion many times before and were familiar with their tactics: bombing first, followed by vampire assaults, then a final large-scale push by their main troops.
Up to this point, the resistance had always relied on guerrilla tactics. In previous large-scale skirmishes with the X Legion, they had never won. This time was no exception. Jie’s order was to scatter and break through, surviving by any means necessary.
