Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1353: Chapter 1354: Brilliant Stratagem

Anna looked at her face, as perfect as before, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, her face turned red; she had indeed been a bit out of control just now.

After all, she is the commander of an army now, the battle continues, and there are still sporadic gunshots in the base.

Some bandits are still putting up a desperate resistance, but she was still concerned about her appearance.

She must remember that it’s a battlefield now; a single erroneous command could cost many soldiers their lives.

Thinking of this, Anna’s face returned to its usual iciness, and she gave the order: ”Shout to the resisting enemies inside, give them five minutes to surrender their weapons, otherwise, kill them without mercy.”

This was essentially the final ultimatum to the enemies inside. If it were before, Anna certainly wouldn’t have been so decisively ruthless.

Having gone through so many battles, especially the recent events, Anna had come to realize that mercy towards the enemy could cost the lives of her soldiers.

”Yes!” The soldier in charge of relaying orders quickly disseminated the command, and soon the Dragon Unit soldiers inside the base began shouting the order.

Giving the opponents five minutes, the Dragon Unit halted their attack.

Anna slowly walked towards the base, seemingly preoccupied with something.

”Lin Chen, do you think I’ve changed?” Anna suddenly asked.

Lin Chen smiled: ”People always change. Haven’t I changed a lot myself? But no matter how you change, I will always be your strong support.”

Anna nodded. Perhaps it was the excessive killing; she had been having nightmares lately and often suffered from insomnia.

”Nana, if there’s anything, just tell me. Don’t keep it in your heart. Sometimes what we do is to save more people—our country, our family, and our friends. That’s our responsibility, so don’t overthink it. As long as we are true to ourselves, it’s enough,” Lin Chen said seriously.

He knew very well how much Anna was carrying now.

Among the girls, Anna was the only one within the system.

Over the years, she has been executing various tasks, her nerves constantly taut.

Such high intensity is hard for even a man to endure, let alone Anna.

”True to oneself!” Anna took a deep breath and nodded earnestly.

Anna suddenly felt much more comfortable after talking with Lin Chen, and the big stone pressing on her heart quietly disappeared.

For some reason, Anna felt that Lin Chen had a kind of magic power; just being with him made her feel incredibly relaxed, even on a battlefield drenched in blood and wind.

”Lin Chen, once this is all over, you promised me you’d spend time with me. You are not allowed to run off again, or I’ll get mad,” Anna said with a hint of tenderness in her eyes as she looked at Lin Chen.

”Mm, I will definitely spend time with you,” Lin Chen nodded.

At this time, the five-minute deadline had arrived, and gunshots were heard again from within the base.

Most of the people inside the base were desperate criminals; with blood on their hands, they naturally wouldn’t surrender easily.

The gunshots were very dense at first, but then gradually sparse.

Soon, the battle within the base had ended, evidently with the resisting enemies being annihilated by the Dragon Unit.

Lin Chen and Anna entered the base, where they were greeted by the bodies of slain enemies all along the way.

In one of the base’s halls, more than a dozen people from the Tang Dynasty were securely bound.

At this moment, a team leader from the Dragon Unit ran over: ”Report, the enemies from the Tang Dynasty have been completely eliminated, but the bandit leader, Tang Chao, is nowhere to be seen.”

Despite the Dragon Unit soldiers having conducted a comprehensive search of the base, Tang Chao’s whereabouts remained a mystery.

Anna nodded and said, ”Lin Chen, I’m heading down the mountain to capture Tang Chao. You go find the place where the spirit beasts are being kept. Be careful, Hua Hu mentioned there are strong guards there.”

Lin Chen nodded: ”Don’t worry, you shouldn’t wait for him at the exit; wait for him here instead.”

”Here?” Anna looked puzzled.

Lin Chen referred to the mountain pass of this mountain, about a kilometer away from the exit Hua Hu had mentioned.

”Tang Chao is smart enough to assume that Hua Hu has defected. He won’t use that exit; here is his best escape route,” Lin Chen said with certainty.

Anna nodded, turned around, and left the base, getting into a military vehicle.

Although Tang Chao had escaped, he had left through a tunnel.

The tunnel was narrow and long, certainly slowing his movement.

While Anna could drive much faster, as she approached the entrance, several stationed soldiers were ambushing nearby.

”Captain, that guy hasn’t come out yet,” one soldier reported.

Anna nodded and checked the time. According to what the base captives disclosed, Tang Chao had been on the move for half an hour. The tunnel was about ten kilometers long, so he should be emerging soon.

”Keep a close watch here,” Anna said before heading to the location Lin Chen mentioned.

...

At this moment, Tang Chao was racing through the tunnel with a stooped posture.

He was very frustrated. In his eyes, the fortress-like base was penetrated by the enemy so easily.

What puzzled him even more was that the traps inside the base seemed utterly useless.

He had known that the mechanisms in the base were crafted by a master, who said that even a thousand armies would struggle to break through.

But this invincible trap offered no resistance as Dragon Unit soldiers rushed in, allowing them free passage.

He had tested this trap himself; its power was impressive. Since it didn’t activate, there must have been a problem internally.

When he heard his subordinates say that Hua Hu had entered the surveillance room, everything became clear to him.

Of course, in his mind, Hua Hu had turned traitor. However, what he didn’t know was that those people saw Lin Chen instead.

The betrayal by a core member of the organization is an extremely dangerous situation, so smart Tang Chao chose to flee instead of fighting back.

As he ran, Tang Chao thought about his escape route. The route leading to the sea was no longer viable since Hua Hu’s betrayal had definitely compromised that exit.

But Tang Chao was quite cunning; he had another secret passage known only to him.

Running through the tunnel, Tang Chao kept pondering his escape plan. Exiting the tunnel would bring him to a precipice, climbing past the cliff would lead to the border of a neighboring country where someone would meet him, so once he crossed that mountain, he’d be safe.

Running swiftly forward, Tang Chao kept contemplating his next move.

Having lost the base, that old guy surely won’t spare him, so he decided to lay low for a while and then find new support.

By now, light had appeared ahead, and Tang Chao emerged from a mountain cave.

This cave was on a steep cliff, and those who had initially built the tunnel were all killed by him.

He found a rope in the cave, and rappelled down the cliff.

Not far away, Anna was watching the figure slide down the cliff with binoculars, and a cold smile appeared at her mouth: ”Lin Chen’s strategic insight is indeed remarkable!”
