Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1623: Launching the Attack

After a long and arduous journey, Gu Fan, Leng Feng, Gu Xiaojin, and Lu Yi finally welcomed the arrival of the main force. Their morale soared instantly, feeling that with more people they had immense strength, as if nothing could defeat them.

Just as Jie was about to give the order to attack, someone suddenly stopped him, saying that Lu Yi, the doomsayer, had spoken and warned that if they were to attack the weapons base, they would definitely be ambushed.

Knowing this, the once heightened morale vanished in an instant, and a thousand pairs of eyes turned to Lu Yi. The scornful looks immediately made Lu Yi feel an immense pressure.

Having no other choice, Lu Yi looked at Gu Fan with pleading eyes, while Gu Fan scratched his head, showing a troubled expression.

For the sake of friendship, ready to face hardships for a friend even at the risk of offending others, Gu Fan gave a forced laugh, and began to search for a suitable reason. That was that when attacking such a place, an exchange of fire was inevitable, and so were casualties. Since they were already here, they might as well fight.

Jie, too, sighed silently and helped change the subject: "Alright, let’s develop a plan on how we can capture this weapons base smoothly."

"I think..." Lu Yi had just begun to speak when he was met with warning glares from everyone around him, frightening him into hurriedly covering his mouth.

Gu Fan immediately took this as an opportunity to give his children a lesson on the spot: "Do you see? This is the consequence of not speaking properly. Not killing him would not appease the public’s anger."

"I think I understand now," Gu Xiaojin nodded repeatedly. Seeing Lu Yi’s aggrieved appearance, she couldn’t understand how such a doomsayer could still live so well.

Sometimes, Gu Fan also pondered over this question. An ordinary person experiencing what Gu Fan had would not survive with even ten lives. If not for the protection of the Destiny Stone, Gu Fan would have been long gone.

And Lu Yi, whose doomsayer traits had been confirmed countless times, somehow never fell to his enemies and continued to bounce around lively.

Right, Gu Fan remembered, back in ancient times, a mysterious mask-wearer had tried to snatch the Stone of Prophecy from Lu Bei, claiming that Lu Bei’s prophetic doomsayer abilities were due to the stone’s influence.

Later, to prevent the Stone of Prophecy from falling into the hands of the mysterious mask-wearer, Lu Bei swallowed the stone, and as a result, the Stone of Prophecy merged into Lu Bei’s bloodline, meaning that all of Lu Bei’s descendants were accurate doomsayers.

Gu Fan began to ponder why the mysterious mask-wearer placed such importance on the Stone of Prophecy and what the relationship between Lu Bei and Lu Yi was.

In the meantime, Jie had already begun to formulate the plan to attack the weapons base and invited everyone to participate and give their input.

When Gu Fan walked over, everyone made way for him, each pair of eyes filled with expectation, as if they believed Gu Fan would definitely come up with a good plan.

Bearing the expectations of so many people, Gu Fan also felt great pressure and knew he had to be cautious with his suggestions. But then, he proposed a plan that took everyone by surprise: to go all in, since avoiding an ambush seemed impossible.

"What do you mean?" Everyone was shocked, wondering if they were supposed to give up fighting just because Lu Yi’s doomsayer predictions were accurate and simply go to their doom willingly?

Indeed, they would face it head-on since they couldn’t avoid it. Gu Fan stood firm in his decision, adding, "I have full confidence in Lu Yi’s doomsayer predictions, and everyone should trust, like I do, that we will definitely encounter an ambush."

What kind of talk was that? It sounded outrageous. Everyone became disheartened, morale plummeted, and while they had hoped Gu Fan could turn the tide, even he seemed to bow down to fate in the face of the doomsayer’s words.

Gu Fan pointed to the large iron gate and then said, "We have three plans. The first is to infiltrate and open the gate from the inside; the second is a direct assault; the third, we wait for the enemy vehicles to arrive and then strike with the momentum."

Everyone immediately raised their hands in support of the third plan because the first one, infiltrating, was too difficult. For the second plan, a direct assault would result in too many casualties.

Alright, Gu Fan instructed Jie to dispatch several teams to stealthily destroy the external defense artillery under the cover of night, although it was quite challenging because some artillery was positioned on steep cliffs.

Jie understood the difficulty of taking down the artillery. Without neutralizing them, an attack would not be possible, so they had no choice but to go through with it.

Soon, the sound of vehicles approached; the enemy convoy was returning to the weapons base, presenting an opportunity for everyone.

Among the resistance force, those with good marksmanship aimed at the tires of one vehicle, following Gu Fan’s command.

As the large iron gate opened and the vehicles started to drive in, one vehicle’s tire suddenly blew out, forcing it to stop—an awkward position with half of the vehicle inside and half outside the gate.

The halted vehicle couldn’t proceed, causing many of the following vehicles to also stop, anxiously waiting.

"Continue!" Under Gu Fan’s command, the snipers fired again and again, blowing out the tires of several outside vehicles.

The enemies reacted instantly, realizing it was most likely the resistance approaching. As the alarm sounded throughout the weapons base, everyone was ordered to grab their arms and prepare for battle.

"Now’s the time, let’s go!" Leng Feng shouted, and the resistance forces immediately surged out, sprinting and shooting toward the weapon base in a sweeping fire.

The defense artillery of the weapons base locked onto the resistance fighters, ready to eliminate these audacious invaders with the first barrage of fire.

However, Jie’s teams, hidden on the slopes, aimed their rocket launchers at the defense artillery and opened a fierce fire, blowing up all the peripheral artillery.

Thunderous booms echoed, shaking the weapons base nestled in the mountain. When the enemies realized that the outer artillery was effortlessly destroyed, their hearts sank.

The enemies immediately ordered the closing of the large iron gate, only to be informed that a vehicle was stuck there, and personnel were being dispatched to clear it.

In the urgent situation, the enemies sent many armed men to defend the gate fiercely, firing bullets that whistled out like dense rain, slowing the pace of the resistance advance.

Because there were many vehicles outside, the resistance force could use these as cover during their advance, shooting while carefully avoiding bullets.

Soon, under Gu Fan’s command, many people boarded several undamaged vehicles, ignited them, and charged valiantly toward the large iron gate.

"Everyone, follow up!" Leng Feng immediately led his subordinates to pursue. If one car wasn’t enough, a second followed closely behind, with a third car ready to go.
