Chapter 554 Finding The Stronghold

Lu Yu and the others advanced for an unknown amount of time before they found themselves in a bamboo forest.

Lu Yu firmly believed they could find the Star Science Chamber of Commerce's stronghold if they continued in the direction they headed.

The bamboo forest's appearance convinced them that the Star Science Chamber of Commerce's stronghold was in this bamboo forest!

Lu Yu looked at the bamboo forest in front of him and said, It seems that the Star Science Chamber of Commerce's stronghold is here!

They all nodded in agreement.

The Star Science Chamber of Commerce's stronghold is most likely in this bamboo forest. We've already walked so far, so we should be able to find them soon. Xu Yuan said.

Let me observe from the sky, Han Xuefei said. The open space in this forest must be their base!

The bamboo forest before them was densely packed. If the Star Science Chamber of Commerce didn't clear out an open area, they wouldn't even be able to build a small wooden hut.

Therefore, if they wanted to build a large stronghold, they would have to clear all the bamboo around it.

Go up and take a look. If their stronghold is just in front, you should be able to see their fortress walls.

Lu Yu added.

No, Xu Yuan abruptly halted them. The Star Science Chamber of Commerce's stronghold generally doesn't have a large building like a fortress.

Their strongholds are usually built directly and divided into various areas. Electric nets and elevated sentry machine guns protect them.

So, as long as we can find an open area, there's a high chance it'll be their stronghold.

After listening to Xu Yuan's explanation, Han Xuefei nodded and flew up into the sky.

Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and joked, I didn't expect a military doctor like you to know so much.

Not really. You can only get a lot of information when you're in the military, so it's normal that I know more than you

When you enter the military, you'll know more things that are unknown to others.

Lu Yu nodded slightly. If that's the case, I'm looking forward to joining the military.

At that moment, Han Xuefei landed from the sky and approached Lu Yu.

Yup, I can see it. There's indeed a large open area ahead. If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Star Science Chamber of Commerce's stronghold. It's not far away, about 300 meters away.

Lu Yu nodded slightly. Great. 300 meters isn't too far.

Although the Star Science Chamber of Commerce isn't as strong as the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce, they still have some strength to them. I'm afraid it's not a smart idea for the five of us to rush in rashly, right? Xu Yuan reminded them.

Lu Yu shrugged nonchalantly. Let's go over and express our goodwill first. It's best if they're willing to be friends. If they're not, don't blame me for taking a rough stance on them.

I've already taught the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce a lesson. Do you think I'm afraid of the Star Science Chamber of Commerce?

Xu Yuan nodded. That's true. They might not be your match.

The five resumed their journey and advanced quickly.

After passing through the large and dense bamboo forest, they soon saw some lights.

Soon, they crouched in a patch of grass and looked ahead.

Lu Yu and the others could clearly see some lights illuminating the surrounding area.

Not far ahead, there was a wire fence, which was probably connected to electricity.

As Xu Yuan had said, a sentry gun was in front of them, turning its turret at a uniform speed.

There was a pavilion near the iron gate. A guard stood inside and monitored the surroundings through the surveillance cameras.

The entire stronghold was illuminated by fluorescent lights, providing bright lighting and exposing everything around them.

In the stronghold, the buildings inside weren't very tall. The tallest one was only two stories high. One of the structures resembled a communication room, with a massive antenna on the roof and a signal light that flashed from time to time.

Lu Yu squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. He saw a car parked in the square of the stronghold.

The car looked weird. Although it looked like an off-road vehicle, its tires could roll outward. When the tires were flat, the wheels could become ion thrusters and drive the car into the air.

Let's go. Just treat it as a friendly exchange. I won't be polite if they don't let Wang Meng go.

Lu Yu stated as he took the lead and walked over.

Xu Yuan and the others didn't rebuke his words and quickly followed.

If it were them, they would have been careful.

However, it was different with Lu Yu. Lu Yu was decisive and bold, and although they didn't know the situation inside the stronghold or their overall strength, Lu Yu dared to stand out.

Very quickly, Lu Yu approached the stronghold.

The sentry machine gun, which was rotating its turret, immediately locked onto Lu Yu's group.

Firearms weren't very useful in this era when everyone awakened with special powers.

Lu Yu could take on this kind of ordinary machine gun at will. Only when it was a large caliber machine gun, Lu Yu wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

As they zeroed in on the stronghold, the guards at the gate immediately walked out of the pavilion toward Lu Yu and the others.

You guys, what are you doing here?

The guard asked loudly.

I'm from the Freedom Federation. I'm here to look for someone.

Lu Yu answered directly.

The guard sized Lu Yu up and decisively rejected him. It's getting late. You should go back first. If there's anything else, we'll talk tomorrow.

Hearing this, Lu Yu's temper flared up. He took a step forward and grabbed his collar, saying, Do you know how long it took us to track them here? Are you really asking me to go back now? Are you looking for death?

Being threatened like this, the guard gulped and couldn't help but become nervous.

Logically speaking, he should have been the arrogant one since he was in his own territory. However, he was feeling pressured after getting threatened by Lu Yu.

What do you want? Let me go!

Lu Yu loosened his grip, causing the guard to stumble back.

Did you guys capture a person called Wang Meng?

The guard nervously sized up the five people in front of him and carefully answered, I don't know. I'm just a guard.

Alright, then, let us in. I'll know if he's there after I search the area.

However, the guard rejected him immediately. That's impossible. The Star Science Chamber of Commerce's stronghold isn't a place you can enter just because you want to!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was instantly enraged. He had entered the stronghold of the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce just like that. What right did the Star Science Chamber of Commerce have to reject him?

What if I insist on going in today? Do you want to fight? Lu Yu glared at him fiercely.

The guard gulped again and panicked. He no longer had the arrogance he had earlier.

He felt a strong killing intent emanating from Lu Yu's body. It gave him the impression that he would die here right now if he said any more nonsense.

I'll let the captain of the stronghold know first. If he allows you to enter, I'll let you in.

Lu Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest and said disapprovingly, Then go and ask him. But I don't care about his answer. I'm going to enter your stronghold today!
