<h4>Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: Advancing with Difficulty</h4>


    Thesendmines are just ordinaryndmines, nothing advanced about them, but even so, if amon person steps on one, it’s a deadly oue.


    This shows just how cruel and ruthless those people ahead are.


    Xiang Yu carefully took out a dagger and dug out thendmine, then held it in his hand and ced it on a clearing, pressing a stone on top before quietly walking away.


    Actually, dealing withndmines is simple, not asplicated as imagined; as long as you grasp the internal structure of thendmine and know its trigger point, you can handle it.


    Looking at the ’little turtles’ scattered everywhere, Xiang Yu really wanted to curse. This ce is picturesque, and developing tourism here would be promising, but now it’s wasted by these people upying it.


    Xiang Yu cautiously moved forward, skillfully avoiding the surrounding surveince equipment andndmines below.


    He slowly advanced, covering half a mountain as he approached the destination. Just then, a team was slowly heading this way from the front.


    They had reached the outskirts of the enemy’s base, with people constantly passing by on patrol.


    They all wore strange clothing, with faces not visible, wrapped up tightly. In this cold winter, it was good for warmth, but who knows how they manage in summer. However, this wasn’t Xiang Yu’s concern, so he didn’t think much about it.


    Xiang Yu took off his sses and hid behind arge tree. As the team passed by him, one of them suddenly stopped and walked toward Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu’s heart skipped a beat. If he were discovered here, he would be doomed before understanding the situation inside.


    With so many people missing, he would not arrogantly assume he could get caught and then escape.


    At that moment, Xiang Yu suddenly had a thought—to knock the person out, wear his clothes, and sneak inside.


    This idea shed in Xiang Yu’s mind but was immediately rejected. This isn’t some TV drama, and the enemies aren’t fools. If Xiang Yu wore their clothes, he would be quickly discovered.


    Mixing in by wearing the enemy’s uniform was unrealistic—a mere ideal state.


    At the critical moment, Xiang Yu drew his dagger and climbed the tree as fast as possible. Such skills are essential for a Special Forces member, and they mustn’t make any sound.


    The person below looked around then took off his pants and urinated.


    After the person was done, Xiang Yu slowly made his way down from above.


    Moving forward, it became tighter, with almost no gap to infiltrate. Each step Xiang Yu got closer took a lot of time.


    If he continues at this speed, reaching the destination would take days, even if everything goes smoothly.


    Just then, a truck came by from a distance, and seeing the patrollers’ calm faces, Xiang Yu knew it must be an internal vehicle.


    Seeing the opportunity, Xiang Yu quickly moved to the front of the road, hiding behind a tree.


    Just as the truck passed, Xiang Yu suddenly dashed out from behind the tree, diving under the truck and grabbing the axle below.


    The people around didn’t notice; the truck continued moving slowly. Xiang Yu felt suffocated by the dust flying around underneath.


    The truck hadn’t traveled far before it reached a checkpoint. Staff climbed from the back to check inside the truck then inspected the driver before allowing it to pass.


    When the truck moved about ten meters ahead, someone suddenly shouted, and ten people rushed over with guns, surrounding the truck.


    "What’s going on?" The driver jumped down from the truck, confused.


    Two meny down to look under the truck, although it was not typically checked from below.


    However, when the truck passed, a heat detection device suddenly detected something below.


    The two men found nothing under the truck, so they got up and shook their heads.


    A small leader, somewhat skeptical, alsoy down to check but found nothing of concern.


    They had the truck backed up and conducted a thorough inspection.


    In the back of the truck were physically strong individuals, all sitting straight with dull eyes, like puppets.


    The staff checked each person thoroughly before letting them pass once everything was confirmed normal.


    Xiang Yu, hiding under a tree on the other side of the checkpoint, was speechless. This was such a strict inspection; he couldn’t even hitch a ride.


    When passing the checkpoint earlier, Xiang Yu noticed the heat detection device and got off immediately.


    His judgment proved correct. He had told Tie Zhuzi and Wu Qilong he would return in ten days. If he didn’t, those two kids would definitelye risking their lives.


    Then they would be in danger, so Xiang Yu had to hurry. Following conventional stealth methods, he would seed, but it would waste much time.


    If he’d known this, he would’ve told them fifteen days instead, avoiding this tense situation.


    He quietly moved to a higher ce. Upon reaching the peak, he took a grenade from his backpack.


    This grenade was a new military equipment, light in hand but with immense power. Holding the grenade, Xiang Yu pulled the pin and forcefully threw it in a direction he believed was unupied.


    Given his position on high ground and his formidable strength, the grenade was thrown quite far.


    The distant explosion was apanied by blinding light, a spectacr scene more impressive than New Year’s fireworks.


    The grenade exploded, causing immediate tension around. Sirens sounded in the distance, and staff hidden everywhere began rushing to that area.


    At this moment, gunfire suddenly erupted from afar, leaving Xiang Yu puzzled. These people were highly trained and shouldn’t fire randomly.


    If gunfire urred, it indicated another group of outsiders had broken in.


    Xiang Yu could only shake his head and smile wryly, wondering if his grenade had flushed out Wang Qian and the others.


    Now that he couldn’t manage much else, Xiang Yu used this window to dash forward at full speed.


    He moved like a cheetah; the jungle was like his yground.


    A few more gunshots rang out from the distance before calm returned. Based on Xiang Yu’s calctions, if it was truly Wang Qian and her group, it wouldn’t be surprising, especially with Wu Qilong’s recklessness frustrating him endlessly.


    Xiang Yu was now close to the destination, standing high up and gazing into the distance, he was bbergasted.


    There were many military trucks and tents below, power equipment, and various antennas. From the withering greenery, it was clear the area was hollowed out below.


    Whaty outside was just a fa?ade.


    "Is this really a military base?" Xiang Yu wondered...
