Chapter 605 Guests
On the endless snow tundra, snow covered a large grass area, revealing only a portion of the emerald green grass.
A world of ice and snow awaited further ahead. Just looking at it made people feel bone-chillingly cold.
Two flywheels moved at their fastest speed across the tundra.
Xu Yuan and Wang Meng sat on one flywheel, while Han Xuefei and the other two sat on the other.
They took decisive action after receiving Lu Yu’s message.
Despite knowing that going to the Truth Department’s headquarters was dangerous, they all rushed over with determination.
They were all excited as long as they could help Lu Yu. This was also to combat the evil organization known as the Truth Department. This was something they felt they had to do regardless of the risk.
The flywheels moved quickly across the ground.
“How far are we from our goal?” Xu Yuan sat in the driver’s seat, talking on his walkie-talkie.
His signal was quickly transmitted to Qin Yang.
“Go in the direction you’re currently going. At full speed, you’ll arrive at your destination in five minutes.”
“Okay, five minutes. That’s exactly what you said.”
Xu Yuan maintained full speed without slowing down, determined to arrive at their destination as soon as possible.
“Don’t be concerned; you’ll arrive on time. It’s dangerous there, so don’t make too much noise when you get close.”
“There’s no need for your concern; we’re all aware of it.”
Xu Yuan then turned off the walkie-talkie and concentrated on driving.
It was Jiang Ning’s turn to guard Qin Yang and keep him from doing anything foolish.
With Xu Yuan and the others gone, their stronghold had become much emptier, and their strength had diminished significantly.
On the other side of the room, Lu Yu and Xu Mo were waiting for Xu Yuan.
“I came across another interesting piece of information here.”
Lu Yu took out a document and carefully read it.
“What specific information?”
“This is information regarding someone. Guess who it is.”
“Are you serious? How could I possibly have guessed that? It must be one of the Truth Department’s internal members!” Xu Mo shook his head, refusing to speculate.
“The information pertains to Claine!”
“Claine? It has a familiar ring to it. I believe this is the name of the crystal you were referring to.”
“Are you saying this crystal is named after someone?”
Xu Mo’s curiosity was immediately piqued.
“Does it contain a lot of information?”
Lu Yu examined the document and continued, “It doesn’t have much, but he’s from the Ember Empire. He has awakened, and the higher-ups have only emphasized the importance of Claine Crystal, implying that they should be preparing for the mines’ recapture.”
“Could this Claine guy have made these crystals?”
“It’s possible. The issue is that he has awakened from his slumber, and his strength will gradually return to its peak as time passes. Will we still be his match at that point?”
Xu Mo laughed casually. “With such a heaven-defying person like you, why would you be afraid of the speed of his growth?”
Lu Yu let out a sigh. “The issue is that we don’t know when their plan will officially begin. Is there still time for us to complete our mission?”
“Don’t worry; there’s still time. He has only recently awakened, and it will take time for him to recover to his ideal state and gain a sufficient understanding of our world…”
They remained silent and waited in the room after they had chatted for a while.
Lu Yu’s eyes widened, and he asked, “Did you hear what that? There are footsteps outside!”
“I can hear the wind and snow outside.” Xu Mo stated and asked, “You can hear footsteps despite all that noise?”
“Yes, I hear footsteps! I’m not sure where they are from, but I’m sure someone is approaching us!”
When he heard that, Xu Mo immediately sat up straight and asked, “Are you serious?”
“Of course. It’s most likely from the Truth Department.”
“Don’t you think it’s our assistance that’s on its way?”
“They’d have arrived on a flywheel. They wouldn’t have walked all the way here.”
“What exactly is a flywheel?” Xu Mo inquired, intrigued.
“It’s a flying motorcycle. It is swift and capable of moving forward regardless of the terrain.”
“Oh, I see. It’s something I’ve seen before.”
“Given that, it must be a visitor outside. Let’s go out and entertain them.” Xu Mo stood up and took his long sword from his back.
“If it’s just the people looking into the signal failure, the two of us should be able to deal with them.” Lu Yu stood up as well.
He was certain that the incoming maintenance team was not overly strong, but they were also not overly weak.
The two pushed open the door and walked out. They made their way through the courtyard to the front gates.
There was no one outside when he opened the gates.
Lu Yu and Xu Mo detoured to the back of the stronghold, which faced the modelled city.
“There are three of them. Behind them is also a slow-moving machine.”
Xu Mo said with a smile that he was ready for battle.
The bearded man noticed two figures from a distance.
He couldn’t see what the two people in front of him looked like because the wind and snow obscured his vision.
He finally saw Lu Yu and Xu Mo’s figures when they were about 70 to 80 meters away.
These two were complete strangers to him, people he had never met before!
The bearded man’s heart suddenly tightened, and he gulped nervously.
He wasn’t afraid of the two strangers before him, but he was concerned that the headquarters’ location had been revealed. That would have a significant impact on their future plans.
“Can you tell me who you are?” The bearded man yelled.
“We’re on your side, buddy.” Xu Mo responded with a smile. “Do you have a problem?”
“Cut the nonsense and tell me the truth. Who are you, and where are you from? I’ve never seen either of you before!”
Angrily, the bearded man rebuked.
Xu Mo’s tone became icy. “I’m a member of the Freedom Federation’s military’s special combat squad, the Glory Fighters. My name is Xu Mo!”
The bearded man became terrified when he realized a military member had already arrived and was even a member of a special force!
“Military personnel, how intriguing. You guys appear to be quite capable.”
“However, you’re all going to die here,” sighed the bearded man.
“Don’t you want to know who I am?” Lu Yu inquired.
“Aren’t you also from the military?” The bearded man inquired. The snowflakes in front of him were dancing around and obscuring his vision.
“Not at all. Weren’t you and your organization getting desperate to see me? My name is Lu Yu!”
“What? Lu… Yu?”
The bearded man began to tremble as he stared in disbelief at Lu Yu.
“You… You have no right to be here!”
