24, Attention, People Inside

As soon as they arrived at the destination, the two tanks drove to the front, blocking the exit of Base N11. More than a hundred soldiers on three trucks set up a second line of defense behind the tanks. Although this group of soldiers didn't have first-level abilities like Turner's team, and their equipment wasn't as sophisticated as Turner's team, five times the number of soldiers and two tanks could completely overwhelm the armed forces of Base N11.

Several soldiers jumped out of the armored command vehicle. Dark camouflage uniforms, new-age automatic rifles, and vigorous and sturdy movements all distinguished them from ordinary soldiers.

Lee, who was hidden one kilometer away, closed his pupil slightly.

These fighters all possessed second-level abilities, and there were two third-level fighters among them!

Seeing the sophisticated sniper rifle in the hands of one of the third-level fighters, Lee became more careful in hiding.

The soldiers in front had already started shouting with loudspeakers to persuade them to surrender, while several special forces members cautiously entered the cave.

At this time, the roof of the commander's vehicle opened, and two people in commander's attire stood up from it, looking at the hill in front where Base N11 was hidden.

"Attention, people inside! This is the guard directly under the Roxeland Corporation! Now this base will be taken over by the Roxland Corporation. You have only three minutes to open the gate of the base and come out to surrender. The base facilities must be intact! Otherwise, you will be responsible for all consequences!"

While the repetitive, monotonous but real and effective threat was still echoing in the air from the tweeter, dense and dull gunshots suddenly sounded in the cave.

Although far away, Lee immediately recognized the gunshots from the base's automated defense platform.

Then several special forces members withdrew from the cave in some embarrassment. When they came out, there were two fewer people than when they went in, but the packages they were carrying were gone.

After a while, there was a loud boom suddenly, and a thick smoke with countless broken rocks spewed out from the cave. Afterwards, cracks appeared all over the mountain.

In the end, almost half of the hillside was blown away by a strong explosion!

The scattered rubble kept falling, hitting the shell of the tanks and the soldiers who had been lying on the ground for a long time. The Roxland fighters were all equipped with steel helmets and bulletproof vests, so few people were injured.

In the swirling gravel rain, although the command vehicle was hit several times, the two commanders in it stood up straight, as if they were nailed to the floor.

After the entire hillside was lifted off, the gate of Base N11 was revealed.

The automatic defense weapon suspension platforms outside the gate disappeared. The gear-shaped gate was overturned inward, and the tractor was also exposed. As long as there was another blast, or a few rounds of direct fire from the tanks, the gate of the base would be blasted.

Given the firmness and structure of the base gate, although such an explosion was powerful, it would not destroy the gate so thoroughly, but for some unknown reason, the gate was broken.

At this moment, an accident happened. The violent vibration was transmitted one kilometer away, directly causing a row of abandoned two-story buildings to collapse.

Lee, who was lying on the roof, had to jump out and landed lightly on the ground.

As soon as his presence was revealed, the two commanders in the command vehicle immediately noticed! The two raised their binoculars almost at the same time, and looked towards this side.

The elite fighters around the command vehicle also spotted Lee and raised their guns to take aim.

Of course, at a distance of nearly 1,200 meters, only the Carterovan RF1000 sniper rifle in the hands of the third-level sniper was the real deadly threat.

Lee landed, immediately half-kneeled on the ground, raised his long rifle, and aimed at the third-level sniper.

The tremors on the ground continued, and the strong wind brought by the blast wave whizzed past, lifting Lee's cloak.

However, the rifle in his hand did not move in the slightest. When the follow-up shock wave hit, Lee saw that the muzzle of the sniper's gun seemed to move slightly.

Lee's pupil instantly contracted into a crosshair, but he didn't pull the trigger.

At this distance, without using any optical sights, Lee had already recognized that the commander in the command vehicle was Lily who had broken into his room that night!

The woman was dressed in a sharp high-ranking officer's uniform, with a dazzling gold star on her epaulets. Her short hair was tied under a beret, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and a murderous aura flickering in her eyes.

At this time, Lily was completely an iron-blooded soldier who dominated the battlefield, without a bit of sluggish air of being drunk and obsessed that night.

The commander beside her pointed at Lee and shouted, "Kill that person!"

The third-level sniper moved in response, his finger tightened the trigger, and began the final aiming.

Lee was as motionless as a statue.

His green left eye magnified the sniper's movements, and even the slight twitching muscles on his face could be clearly seen. Lee didn't shoot first.

At this distance, as long as the sniper showed signs of firing, Lee could shoot first and then dodge.

And he had a strong instinct that he shouldn't be shooting first.

"Stop!" Lily shouted immediately, and pressed the commander's hand.

The sniper obviously knew who was the real commander, and immediately let go of the finger that was holding the trigger when he heard the order.

The moment he let go of his finger, the heavy feeling that was pressing on his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Ma'am, that person is suspicious. He seems to be following us all the way, and he seems to be a sniper. It's better to kill him." The commander didn't seem to agree with Lily's order.

Lily interrupted him coldly: "I said let him go! Don't provoke him!"

"But…" that commander was not an easy character to convince.

Lily's face became more stern: "Are you trying to question my order for the third time? Answer me, Lieutenant Colonel!"

The commander snapped to attention and replied loudly: "I fully obey your orders, general!"

Despite his youth, bravery, and considerable military talent, the commander still did not dare to challenge her authority a third time. Although he was keenly aware of the seemingly ulterior relationship between Lily and the sniper in the distance, and the faintly burning jealousy made him want to kill that guy immediately, this did not make him lose his mind, especially when Lily reiterated the order for the third time.

In Roxland Corporation, apart from her outstanding military talent, almost everyone knew Lily's decisiveness, cruelty, and unscrupulousness on the battlefield. She allowed subordinates to question any of her orders, but only twice.

Those who tried for a third chance never left the battlefield alive.

The plan to annex Base N11 this time was her typical style, which was not to give the base any chance for peaceful negotiations, and directly use a large number of high explosives to blow up the gate of the base, and then start the so-called negotiations.

In Lily's view, a turtle without its hard shell had no bargaining power. After the gate was blown open, the remaining people in Base N11 had only two choices: either to surrender unconditionally and become a slave or a free man, which all depended on her mood; or all be executed, if they dared to resist.

Lily glanced at the elite soldiers around the command vehicle, and said coldly: "Put down your guns! Do I need to repeat it a second time?"

These elite fighters immediately put down the guns in their hands. They knew that there must be absolutely no hesitation in carrying out her orders, let alone unnecessary actions or words that would mislead her.

On the battlefield, Lily was a butcher, not only to the enemy, but also to her own people.

After suppressing her subordinates, she looked at Lee in the distance. Instinctively, despite the distance and lack of scope, she knew that Lee would be able to see her every expression.

She raised her hand and pointed at Lee from afar, with an ambiguous smile on her lips, and her eyes were as bright as fire.

She believed that Lee would be able to read her meaning.

"Sooner or later, you will be mine!" said her left eye.

"I will catch you!" said her right eye.

Lee was silent, not thinking about what would happen after that hypothetical scene, but just put away the modified rifle, turned around and disappeared into the ruins in the wilderness.

Lily turned her head to look at the adjutant beside her, with that ambiguous and lustful smile on her face, which made the adjutant's eyes almost blaze.

She stretched out her left hand, tapped the adjutant's forehead lightly, and said, "I know you're not convinced. But at this distance, he can easily blow your head off!"

The adjutant's face was livid, and he didn't believe that a person could hit a target 1,200 meters away without relying on a scope.

However, out of the corner of the adjutant's eye, he suddenly saw the thirl-level sniper he relied on as his trump card. The sniper was half-kneeling on the ground, his face was pale, and his military uniform had already been soaked in sweat. Only with the support of the sniper rifle did he not completely fall to the ground.

It wasn't until then that the adjutant was really surprised.

He knew how many battles this sniper had participated in, and he also knew how brilliant and formidable his achievements were. Such a veteran crawling out of the dead and blood, where only snipers could play a role, using a Carterovan RF1000 sniper rifle against an old-fashioned modified rifle that didn't even have a scope, the confrontation lasted less than a minute, how could he be so exhausted?

This seemed completely inexplicable.

There were too many unexplainable things in the new era, and this was just one of them.

The adjutant's face was still livid, and he didn't dare to challenge Lily's authority on the battlefield, but it didn't mean he was afraid of her.

Within the company, his patron had a higher status than Lily.

The fiery sun finally disappeared into the clouds, and then the entire sky began to dim, and darkness gradually enveloped the ubiquitous ruins.

It was another starless and moonless night.
