Chapter 1544: Hidden Sentries Ahead

The group stopped, and Chen Yu also crouched down, leaning in cautiously. Sure enough, after Chen Bo had been digging for only a short while, a landmine was unearthed by him.

Chen Yu could not help but look at him a few more times; he himself relied on his perception to sense that there were mines in this area, but Chen Bo had judged it entirely based on professional knowledge.

Moreover, he could accurately determine the location of the landmines. From this aspect alone, Chen Yu felt suspicious; he was definitely not an ordinary retired soldier.

"Good grief, I was just saying it was impossible for this place of theirs not to have a guard; so it turns out they buried mines here." Chen Bo cursed, "These pirates are truly insidious enough."

"There are more ahead. No need to clear the mines one by one; everyone just follow me." Chen Yu stood up, took a deep breath, and then walked in front.

"Everyone follow Mr. Chen's footsteps; watch your feet and do not make any sound." Chen Bo stood up and followed Chen Yu.

There were indeed quite a few landmines along the way, at least seven or eight. Chen Yu carefully avoided them one by one, while Chen Bo, following behind him, placed markers on them.

Having bypassed the minefield, the group picked up their pace and headed toward the base camp. Along the way, Chen Bo kept an eye on the surroundings: "There is no surveillance in this area; everyone can appropriately increase their speed."

"Three hundred meters ahead, at the ten o'clock position, there are hidden sentries." Chen Yu stopped abruptly. His Divine Sense projected forward, and the area within a radius of several kilometers was clearly perceived by him.

"Are you sure?" Chen Bo's brows furrowed slightly: "Mr. Chen, this place is too far from us, and there is an open field ahead. If we force our way through from here, we will definitely be discovered by the hidden sentries."

"That's right, the purpose of hidden sentries is to be impossible to guard against." Chen Yu nodded slightly and said: "Everyone hide here; I will go over and take care of those two hidden sentries. Once it is safe, I will send you a message."

"Alright, everyone take cover." Chen Bo nodded, lowered his body, and then watched Chen Yu disappear into the darkness.

Chen Yu's speed was already fast, and with the cover of the night, he was almost like the wind, arriving at the location of the two hidden sentries.

There was a large tree in front, and these two hidden sentry points were on both sides of the tree, with about 4 people in total.

Chen Yu hid in a dark spot, staring at the location of the four people, and projected his Divine Sense, locking all four of them within it.

These four hidden sentries were hiding in the shadows, focusing intently on the open field ahead using the Night God Mirror in their hands.

It was evident that these people before him were all professionally trained; their gazes were sharp, and they were extremely patient. One of them was even a sniper.

Chen Yu slightly raised his Primordial Qi and took a deep breath. In an instant, his sharp aura permeated the air, and immediately after, his entire person darted out like electricity.

That sniper was no ordinary person. The moment Chen Yu's killing intent was released, he sensed it, and with a sudden side-step, he dropped down from the tree.

His three companions had not yet reacted when three soft "pfft" sounds rang out; the three of them looked horrified and froze on the ground.

The sniper landed, rolled on the ground a few times, and quickly stood up. He reached to his waist, pulled out a gun, brushed the safety catch against his body, and was about to fire.

If he fired, regardless of whether he hit Chen Yu or not, Chen Yu and the others would have been exposed, and this operation would be destined to end in failure.

However, he no longer had the chance. The moment he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly felt his body stiffen. A cold chill emanated from his back, a chill that made the blood in his entire body feel almost frozen. He looked up in horror.

Suddenly, he discovered that his entire body was incomparably stiff and he could not move at all.

Chen Yu walked slowly from behind his back, a trace of Primordial Qi still radiating from his body.

"A Superpowered Person?" Chen Yu asked, staring at this sniper.

"Who are you?" The sniper stared fixedly at Chen Yu, squeezing three words out through his teeth.

"My name is Chen Yu. Since you are already a dead man anyway, it doesn't hurt to tell you." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "If you can tell me how many more hidden sentries, how many landmines, and how many Electric Nets are ahead, I will consider giving you a quick death."

"In your dreams." The sniper stared fixedly at Chen Yu, his face full of hatred.

"Since you refuse to cooperate, then this is the only way." Chen Yu shook his head helplessly and turned to leave. The moment he left, the sniper's expression suddenly stiffened. He let out a muffled sound and knelt on the ground. A blood hole appeared on his chest at some unknown time. He stared blankly at Chen Yu and fell to the ground with a thud.

After struggling a few times, the sniper stopped moving altogether.

Chen Yu looked indifferently at the several corpses beneath him, then took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Bo and the others.

"Mr. Chen has sent a message. Let's go, watch the surrounding environment." Chen Bo received Chen Yu's message, waved his hand, and the group of five continued to move forward.

The group reunited at the place where Chen Yu was. Looking at the several corpses on the ground, Chen Bo felt slightly astonished. He was a veteran who had been on the battlefield and killed enemies, but the several pirates lying on the ground were clearly not ordinary. For Chen Yu to silently kill these people on the ground without making a single sound—if it were him, even in his prime, he would not have been able to do it.

"Mr. Chen, did you get any useful information from the mouths of these people?" Chen Bo asked.

"No, I took them down the moment I made a move. This sniper was a Superpowered Person with strong willpower; there was no way to forcibly extract anything from his head, so I simply slit their throats," Chen Yu said.

"A Superpowered Person?" Chen Bo was taken aback: "How could such people appear? Mr. Chen, are you sure he was a Superpowered Person?"

"Very sure. He sensed it the moment I made my move," Chen Yu said: "It should be an ability related to perception, very keen."

"This is likely troublesome now. When this group of pirates rebelled, they must have hired foreign aid, and among these foreign aids, there must be Superpowered Persons," Chen Bo's brows were tightly locked: "We are all ordinary people, so Mr. Chen, how much confidence do you have?"

"It's not a big problem. Even if they have some Superpowered Persons coming, their strength is only at the Initial Stage; they are not worth worrying about," Chen Yu said: "Let's continue."

"Alright, everything will be as Mr. Chen says." Chen Bo nodded.

"Brother Chen, you should be the one in command; you are skilled at these things, I will just adapt to the situation," Chen Yu said.

"Then I won't be polite," Chen Bo laughed, and walked forward with Chen Yu.

"The unit Brother Chen served in before wasn't an ordinary one, right?" Chen Yu asked the doubt in his heart. Chen Bo only said he was a retired soldier, but judging from his performance and his way of speaking and acting, Chen Yu felt he was definitely not an ordinary retired soldier.
