Chapter 314: Cutting the weeds without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze will bring new growt
"Chief, be careful!"
Zhang Zuming reached out and pulled Lin Yuxin out of the passage.
As Lin Yuxin left the passage, there were not many people left below.
"Chief, where are we going now?"
Zhang Zuming asked for instructions.
Lin Yuxin glanced around at the surroundings and pointed to the north.
"Go to the Lehua base in the north."
To the north of Xinlu City lies Lehua City.
Old Zhao and his army were stationed at a military base on the outskirts of the city.
The distance between the two cities is not far.
If this were before the apocalypse, under forced march conditions, it would only take a day to reach Lehua City.
But there is still a thick layer of snow on the ground.
Lin Yuxin and his group had no means of transportation, so it would take them at least two days!
"Yes, leader!"
Zhang Zuming responded and immediately began calling to the people around him, preparing to retreat to the north.
However, at that moment, a sudden burst of gunfire erupted from all around.
The soldiers of the All-Seeing Eye never expected to be ambushed here.
In addition, the surrounding area was too open, with no cover whatsoever.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of people were killed or injured.
"Enemy in sight! Take cover!"
Zhang Zuming was the first to react and immediately roared.
He covered Lin Yuxin and hid in a shallow, sunken pit.
But others weren't so lucky!
Although they tried their best to lie on the ground and hide themselves.
But unfortunately, the snow was bare, with not a single patch of cover.
And the number of enemies seems to be quite large.
Under the hail of bullets, the soldiers of the All-Seeing Eye were continuously knocked down.
Before long, they suffered heavy casualties.
Watching his men die one after another before his eyes, Lin Yuxin was filled with shock and rage!
He was certain that the ones who had ambushed him here were Su Chen and the Fierce Tiger Gang.
But here's the thing.
The escape route he ordered to be built was quite well hidden.
How did Su Chen discover this?
Just then, the gunfire around them suddenly stopped.
Just as Lin Yuxin was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Su Chen's voice came from the front.
"Chief Lin, it's been a long time!"
Lin Yuxin slowly raised his head from the pit and looked ahead.
He could vaguely see many figures around him, but he didn't see Su Chen.
"Su Chen, you destroyed my base, are you going to try and kill me too?"
"Chief Lin, you're wrong about that!"
Su Chen crossed his arms and said lazily,
"You were the one who tried to wipe out the Skywalker Alliance and me first, and now you're blaming me?"
Lin Yuxin was speechless for a moment.
Just as Su Chen said.
If it weren't for his insistence on destroying the Skywalker Alliance and his pursuit of Su Chen...
How did things come to this?
"No matter what grudges we had in the past, I've fallen to this state today, are you still not willing to let me go?"
Lin Yuxin's words carried a rare hint of pleading.
But in his heart, he secretly vowed that as long as he arrived at the Lehua base, he would ask Old Zhao to send troops to completely wipe out the Fierce Tiger Gang!
"Excuse me, Chief Lin."
“If you cut the weeds without removing the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”
"That's what I learned from you."
Su Chen's words made Lin Yuxin so angry that his teeth itched.
"If you won't let me go, why did you call for a ceasefire?"
"I won't let you go, but that doesn't mean I won't let others go."
Su Chen responded,
"As long as everyone else lays down their weapons, I can guarantee I won't harm them!"
In Su Chen's view, these soldiers were innocent.
Most of them were simply acting under Lin Yuxin's orders.
If possible, Su Chen not only didn't want to kill them, he even wanted to recruit them into the Fierce Tiger Gang!
He noticed that everyone's eyes were on him.
Lin Yuxin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said,
"Don't believe his nonsense!"
"That's right, that bastard is trying to demoralize the troops and sow discord among us!"
Zhang Zuming, who was standing to the side, echoed this sentiment.
Seeing that Lin Yuxin did not respond, Su Chen raised his voice again.
"Chief Lin, you should think this through!"
"If you don't surrender, I'm going to bombard you with RPGs!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the All-Seeing Eye changed.
They have no cover here. If an RPG comes, a large number of them will probably be killed or wounded!
Lin Yuxin remained silent for a long time before finally squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth.
"Su Chen, do you dare to fight me one-on-one?!"
"How do you mean by a one-on-one fight?"
"It's one-on-one between you and me. If I win, you let us all leave!"
"Then what if you lose?"
"I'm at your mercy, and all my men have surrendered to you."
Lin Yuxin made this suggestion because he felt he was wearing high-tech armor.
Su Chen was only a beginner-level ability user, and his pet wasn't with him either.
I have a very high probability that I can defeat Su Chen and escape alive!
"Row!"
Lin Yuxin's willingness to challenge Su Chen to a one-on-one fight shows that he still has confidence.
But Su Chen is an advanced evolved being with superpowers and supernatural crystal protective gear.
He didn't think Lin Yuxin would be his opponent.
In order to minimize casualties and resolve the matter peacefully, Su Chen decisively agreed.
Lin Yuxin first ordered his soldiers to put down their weapons and slowly walk forward.
After the fierce battle just now, more than half of the four hundred people have been killed or wounded.
After subduing the soldiers, Su Chen stood up and walked to the center of the open space.
Lin Yuxin, Zhang Zuming, and others also emerged from their hiding place.
Looking at Lin Yuxin in his armor, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out to be the case.
So he has this high-tech armor, which is why he wanted to fight me one-on-one.
"You all heard my conversation with Su Chen!"
Lin Yuxin looked at his soldiers and said in a deep voice,
"If I lose, you will all surrender to him!"
The soldiers looked at each other, and finally responded sparsely.
"As ordered!"
"Su Chen, I hope you will keep your promise!"
Lin Yuxin said coldly.
"Do not worry!"
Su Chen nodded.
The crowd slowly dispersed, giving Su Chen and Lin Yuxin enough space.
Su Chen was about to say something when Lin Yuxin, disregarding martial ethics, charged straight at him.
His high-tech armor can enhance the wearer's physical abilities.
Therefore, Lin Yuxin's speed was not slow either, almost on par with that of an intermediate-level evolver!
"what!"
Lin Yuxin's mechanical fist slammed heavily into Su Chen.
Su Chen wanted to test the power of this armor.
Instead of dodging, he reached out and directly caught the robotic arm.
Su Chen also felt a considerable pressure.
This suit of armor can amplify the wearer's strength to between the beginner and intermediate levels.
