Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1633: Midnight Sneak Attack
Chapter 1633: Chapter 1633: Midnight Sneak Attack
Inside the resistance army base, people lit bonfires, sat together, devouring meat and drinking large gulps of alcohol, cheering in victory. It had been a long time since they felt so invigorated.
Someone was strumming a guitar, someone was singing, and someone else was twisting awkwardly in dance, having fun without restraint.
Under the persuasion and constant toasting of others, Gu Xiaojin finally couldn’t resist taking a sip, only to receive a warning look from Gu Fan, which scared her into spitting it out quickly.
At this moment, Lu Yi shook her head and sighed as she walked over, patted Gu Fan on the shoulder, and kindly said, "You are too strict as a father, Xiaojin’s not a child anymore."
"I know, back when Lin Xi wouldn’t let me drink, she looked at me with this kind of expression." After saying this, Gu Fan took a light sip.
Lu Yi was somewhat stunned, realizing that Gu Fan was not only fulfilling his responsibility as a father, being strict with his children, but also avenging Lin Xi’s overly strict control over him in the past.
Thinking about it, Lu Yi felt that being restricted by Lin Xi at the time, not being able to do this or go there, was indeed quite pitiable.
But now it’s different; Lin Xi was reincarnated as Gu Fan’s daughter, and Gu Fan finally had the chance to even the score.
Gu Fan drank while observing his surroundings. He noticed Leng Feng and Lin Yue were chatting animatedly, having an extraordinary mentor-protégé relationship.
Out of curiosity, Gu Fan asked, "Since Lin Yue took Leng Feng as a disciple, does it mean Leng Feng will be the next successor of Jian Shen?"
Previously, Lu Yi shook her head, "No, although Leng Feng is talented, Lin Yue took him as a disciple out of affection for his talent, while it is the hunter’s son, Will, who is the next successor of Jian Shen."
Hearing this, Gu Fan was surprised, not expecting the hunter’s son to walk the same path.
Reflecting on past happenings and seeing Lin Yue’s maturity, who now had the demeanor of a master, Gu Fan couldn’t help but sigh, realizing everyone was growing and aging.
Amid the surrounding laughter and joyous chatter, such an occasion of happiness was rare, and everyone wanted to fully enjoy themselves.
Gu Fan walked over to Lin Yue, smiling and greeting him: "Long time no see. Thank you for taking Xiaofeng under your wings and teaching him so much."
Lin Yue glanced passively, then turned away indifferently, looking like he had no intention of engaging.
The atmosphere turned awkward in an instant, and Gu Fan felt like a hot face was pressed against a cold shoulder, muttering, "You brat, your temper is just the same, still unchanged at all."
Leng Feng quickly intervened, "Don’t mind it, my master is just like that."
"I know, he’s only like that when he sees me." Gu Fan was a bit annoyed but decided to let it go after mulling over it. He glanced at Leng Feng and advised, "You should learn his skills, but don’t pick up his temper."
Leng Feng nodded repeatedly, "I know! I’ll learn what I should and avoid what I shouldn’t."
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Gu Fan wasn’t as concerned, then he saw Gu Xiaojin being coaxed by others, jumping and dancing freely.
This daughter was really worrisome, Gu Fan didn’t stop her; he even stared dazedly at Gu Xiaojin’s dance, a demeanor and flair exactly like Lin Xi’s.
Just as everyone was relaxing, cheering, and whistling wildly at Gu Xiaojin, danger was quietly approaching.
The person in charge of security took out a walkie-talkie to contact those on watch duty, but the signal was poor, and nobody responded after several attempts.
A few people went to check the watch post, only to find it deserted.
Initially, they thought the watchmen had sneaked away to play, not paying much attention. But when someone discovered blood on the ground, they realized the situation was grave.
"Quick, fire the signal flare!" someone shouted urgently.
Upon hearing this, the companion immediately reacted, pulling out a flare gun and aiming at the sky, but just as they were about to squeeze the trigger, a fierce figure lunged from the darkness.
In an instant, everyone realized it was an enemy attack, and in another instant, they were attacked, losing the chance to notify their comrades.
The X Legion had already silently surrounded the area, all sorts of firepower targeting the singing and dancing crowd at the bonfire.
Vampires had drawn near, hiding in the shadows, desperately controlling their excitement, calming themselves and waiting for the right moment.
As the crisis gradually approached, Gu Xiaojin abruptly stopped her dance, looking fearfully toward the dark; her sensory ability couldn’t be wrong—enemies were here.
Seeing Gu Xiaojin’s expression, Jie didn’t need her to speak to guess what was happening. He immediately threw away his cigarette and ordered, "Everyone, get into combat readiness, now!"
The resistance army hurriedly discarded what they were holding, scattered everywhere, some fetching weapons, others heading to combat posts, each one in a flurry, panic-stricken.
Gu Fan put on a calm face, focusing intently on the darkness, and slowly put on his mask.
A whistling sound came from the sky as more than a dozen rockets targeted this area, bombing it intensely; flames and explosions filled the air, earsplitting.
Although the resistance dispersed, the overwhelming firepower was too powerful, causing many to be blown away.
Some took refuge in buildings, but the buildings were also bombed, collapsing and burying those inside.
Boom, boom, boom—X Legion’s firepower relentlessly bombarded the area; the continuous explosions caused significant casualties. If it hadn’t been for Gu Xiaojin’s foresight, the losses among the gathered crowd would have been far greater.
"My God, this is too tough." Lu Yi looked at the ongoing commotion, watching others get blown apart, momentarily overwhelmed.
A loud blast occurred not far from Lu Yi, a shockwave directly blew him away, sending him tumbling head over heels.
Fortunately, Lu Yi was resilient; he quickly struggled to get up, using both hands and feet, and scrambled into a building.
Just then, Gu Fan arrived, lifting Lu Yi up in one swift motion.
Seeing it was a friend, Lu Yi was overjoyed because with Gu Fan around, it meant he wouldn’t perish, but he still emphasized, "This time, don’t blame me for being a doomsayer; I didn’t say anything, I just had a dream related to this while dozing off earlier."
Hearing this, Gu Fan was amused and exasperated, tossing Lu Yi over to Gu Xiaojin’s side, instructing Lu Yi to stick close to her.
"Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?" Lu Yi then remembered Gu Xiaojin’s ability to sense danger; staying with her was the right thing.
Gu Xiaojin didn’t need to do anything, just stood there, watching the incoming rockets and the continuous explosions around her, remarkably unscathed.
Just as Lu Yi was about to praise her, Gu Xiaojin suddenly started running, which frightened Lu Yi, making him shout, "Xiaojin, it’s not fair not to give a warning when you decide to run."
