I Have A Computer in my Brain - Chapter 55
Chapter 55: Sneak Attack Stronghold
Purple Rose looked at Lin Yun suggestively and said in a seductive tone, “Little Mu Mu, you saved me twice. If you don’t mind the fact that I’m older than you, I’ll give myself to you.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up and clean up the dead fishes.” One-eyed held the sniper rifle and continued to fire into the distance.
Since it was Lin Yun who was holding the ghost soldiers’ weapon, the Demon Race weapon’s energy weapon attacks would no longer be effective. After the sand dune tanks were destroyed, they had only two options: rush forward and engage in melee combat or turn around and flee.
In fact, that was exactly what they did.
However, One-eyed and Gambler continued to use sniper rifles to kill the demon soldiers who tried to escape. The soldiers who attempted to charge forward were fed bullets from Purple Rose’s heavy machine gun.
After a while, the entire battlefield was quiet.
“One-eyed, scan the battlefield for any aura of life to see if there are any enemies left alive.” The captain commanded calmly, not blinded by victory.
“There is a strong aura of life in the second truck; there should be a living person in it. The rest of the auras are weak; those are the soldiers close to dying,” One-eyed said slowly as he carefully swept across the battlefield with his glowing red electronic eye.
“Very good. Let’s go over and see who is alive.”
Lin Yun carried the spear and followed everyone to the truck. The cargo compartment of the truck had been converted into a metal hut. Drunkard reached out to pull the door.
“Drunkard, be careful!” Purple Rose reminded loudly.
“Relax, I have experience with this kind of thing.”
Drunkard pulled the door open, then rolled and moved away from the door.
“Your experience is rolling like a donkey.” One-eyed sneered and raised his gun to the open door.
“Get out within ten seconds or we’ll throw a grenade inside.”
As soon as One-eyed finished talking, a voice was heard from inside. “Don’t! I will come out now.”
Then, an old man in a white uniform came out. He wore white-rimmed glasses and held a tablet in his hand.
The captain glanced at Gambler and growled. “Interrogate him.”
Gambler shrugged and went to the old man. There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and the old man’s expression suddenly froze.
Seeing this, Lin Yun had a thought, “Gambler’s Spiritual Strength seems to have just passed Level 6, but his Spirit application is quite skillful. If there’s a chance, I would like to ask him for guidance.”
Under Gambler’s Spiritual Bewitchment, the old man told them why he was here. It turned out that a recent electromagnetic storm paralyzed the communication system of a Demon Race stronghold. So, the base dispatched three ghost warriors to protect the old man, who had been sent to the base to repair the communication system.
After listening, the captain broke the old man’s neck. He looked at everyone and said aloud, “We have two options now. One is to take advantage of this opportunity and take that stronghold down, and the other is to be content and happy and return immediately. What do you all think?”
The captain’s gaze came to a rest on Lin Yun.
Lin Yun smiled slightly. “I’ll go with the first option.”
“I second that.” Drunkard smiled.
“I agree too. I feel lucky today, and things are going well.” Gambler took out the dice and threw it into the air happily.
“I agree.” “I second that.” One-eyed and Purple Rose answered in succession.
“Very well, since everyone agrees, we will take down the Demon Race stronghold. Take a fifteen-minute rest. We will set off immediately after that.”
The captain announced the decision calmly.
“I have an idea. Maybe we can use these demon soldiers’ equipment.”
After Lin Yun said that, he found everyone looking at him. He smiled and explained, “We can use these vehicles and clothes to pretend to be deserters…”
Soon, a truck arrived at the Demon Race stronghold.
“Who are you?” The two demon sentinels standing at the sentry post with their guns asked loudly.
Drunkard, now clad in the Demon Race’s uniform, looked out of the window and shouted, “Open the gate! We were sent by the base to repair the communication system. We encountered a human ambush halfway and our ghost soldier is injured. He needs immediate medical treatment.”
“Report your serial number and the password for this mission.”
“No time! The ghost soldier is seriously injured and needs to be treated quickly. If it’s delayed, can you bear the responsibility?” Drunkard pointed to the figure in the passenger seat and shouted anxiously.
On the passenger’s seat sat Lin Yun in a ragged ghost soldier uniform, covered in blood. He had yet to recover the Spirit he used earlier on and his face was still very pale. He looked like he was seriously injured.
“No, according to the rules, you must report your serial and password to pass.” One demon soldier just finished speaking when his head was forcefully smacked by another demon soldier. He turned back angrily and asked, “Why did you hit me?”
“Are you stupid? Ghost soldiers are the base’s most valuable assets! A ghost soldier is on par with the stronghold officer-in-charge. Even that driver outranks us by several levels. If the officer-in-charge finds out they’ve been neglected, do you think we will get off easy?”
“But, according to the rules, the serial and password have to be reported.”
“You’re really stupid. See, the ghost soldier’s clothes are ragged. Look at the blood all over him and his pale face. He’s about to die. This driver is deliberately stalling time so he can wait for the ghost soldier to die. When that happens, the base’s attention will be drawn to our stronghold. They will then say that we didn’t provide timely medical attention and place the blame for the defeat squarely on us. We will be done for, then. Hurry up and open the door. Let the stronghold officer-in-charge handle this.”
“Oh, I see. Thank you, Brother. Otherwise, I would be done for.”
“Young man, watch and learn. There’s still a lot of things you can learn from the army.”
The heavy metal gate next to the sentry opened slowly. Drunkard sneered and drove the truck into the stronghold.
Suddenly, the alarm in the stronghold went off loudly! Drunkard and Lin Yun were shocked. Had they been discovered?
Countless armed Demon soldiers instantly ran out of the stronghold. However, instead of attacking, they stood in a neat formation. A young man with a military cap came out in a hurry and shook hands with Drunkard, who had just alighted from the vehicle.
Drunkard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tried to smile. “You assembled very quickly. Is everyone here?”
The young man smiled flatteringly. “We’re all here. As soon as I heard that the officer-in-charge of the base had come for an inspection, I gathered everyone.”
“In that case, I will ask the officer-in-charge to come out.” Drunkard walked slowly to the cargo hold behind the truck and knocked on the door with his hand.
“Sir, everyone at the stronghold is assembled. They are lined up outside awaiting your inspection. Let me know when you’re ready,” Drunkard said loudly.
After that, Drunkard stood by and waited patiently.
After a while, Purple Rose’s voice said, “We’re ready. Open the door.”
The young officer thought enviously. “He’s indeed a high ranking officer. He actually has his own female secretary who does everything for him. When there’s nothing else to do they can still…”
Drunkard yanked open the door, then rolled under the vehicle.
“Driver, what’s wrong with you?” The young officer looked puzzled.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, the young officer was shot in the head. Drunkard had fired at him. Before falling to the ground, he vaguely saw the flash of countless muzzles in the cargo hold.
“Da da da…”
Various bullets and energy beams shot out of the open cargo door like a rainstorm. Like the sickle of the grim reaper, they harvested the lives of the demon soldiers.
The demon soldiers waiting to be inspected had yet to react and they had already collapsed in a pool of blood. After a while, there were no more demon soldiers left standing.
“Bang!”
The captain killed the last demon soldier still struggling on the ground with a single shot. Then, he instructed in a low voice. “One-eyed, investigate.”
One-eyed’s electronic eye glowed red and swept across the stronghold. He shouted excitedly, “There’s no one left, no one left at this stronghold! In other words, everything in it is ours!”
Hearing One-eyed’s shout, everyone couldn’t help but feel excited. Purple Rose cheered loudly. “Wahahaha, I’m going to be a rich woman!”
Lin Yun was overjoyed and he couldn’t help but smile. He noticed that the captain, who had always looked calm, also showed a trace of joy in the corner of his eyes.
“Follow me, let’s search the Demon stronghold!” Purple Rose found a gunny sack from somewhere, slung it over her shoulder, and ran into the Demon stronghold.
Lin Yun followed everyone and quickly entered the Demon stronghold. Before long, they had found everything of value in the Demon stronghold.
Looking at the truck that was stuffed to the brim, Lin Yun couldn’t help but declare in admiration:
“Harvest! What a bumper harvest!”
