Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255 Clear the Obstacles Continue Moving Forward

In the woods on the right bank, gunfire erupted, and wooden bullets crazily sprayed, hitting several vampire warriors who couldn’t dodge in time. They fell to the ground.

As long as they weren’t hit in the heart, the vampire warriors were merely injured and still alive, but they were impeded nonetheless.

Amidst gunfire and raining bullets, Gu Fan exerted all his strength to rush forward and used wooden stakes to completely finish off those injured vampire warriors.

"Fire, don’t stop!" the squad leader Harvin shouted urgently, just as several vampire warriors pounced into their ranks, sending several soldiers flying with a few punches and kicks.

A vampire warrior fumed with resentment, "Isn’t it better for you to just run for your lives? Why deliver yourselves to death?"

"Mind your own business!" Harvin, desperate, shot at the vampire warriors, but his bullets were dodged by the vampire warrior.

The vampire warrior sneered, "If you meddle, you must pay the price." After saying this, several more vampire warriors pounced on the soldiers from all directions.

At that moment, many branches were broken by an unseen force and, as they were controlled and sharpened in mid-air into wooden stakes, they flew toward the vampire warriors.

"What?" Several vampire warriors just realized something was wrong before the flying stakes pierced through their hearts.

A few vampire warriors narrowly avoided this, but the stakes seem to have eyes, curving around and changing direction, only to re-attack them.

Wooden stakes flew from all directions—the vampire warriors had no escape and were panic-stricken as their bodies were penetrated by the stakes, completely clueless as to what had happened.

Soon more than ten vampire warriors were dealt with. Harvin and his soldiers didn’t understand what was happening, how those stakes could float in the air or why they could fly around at will.

Gu Fan let out a slight sigh of relief, then slumped to the ground. He knew that victory was determined. The person who had controlled the stakes was Lin Xi. Since Lin Xi had arrived, it meant that Su Hui had conquered the makeshift sluice gate. If Su Hui had broken through the blockade on the left bank, it meant the battle there was over.

Gu Fan guessed right because, with Zhuo Hang’s ability and the cooperation of the mercenaries, he had devastated the vampire warriors on the left bank, causing heavy casualties until they had no choice but to retreat.

With this, the battle on the left bank ended. Su Hui led her people to take down the makeshift sluice gate, and Lin Xi no longer needed to defend the front and began focusing her efforts on the right bank battle.

When Lin Xi, Lu Yi, and Ouyang Jin arrived with their people, they just saw Gu Fan leaning against a tree, utterly exhausted, yet still managing to smile.

Ouyang Jin approached with a very relieved expression, "Thank goodness, buddy, I knew you were tough. Since you’ve escaped death, while you’re feeling joyous, let’s talk about raising the price."

"Get lost, better to have me talk, the doomsayer, than let you speak," Lu Yi was about to say something when Ouyang Jin immediately begged for mercy, "Hey, no raising prices, and no doomsaying either. Why hurt each other?"

Gu Fan gave a bitter smile, "Both of you stop talking and take some action, help me up quickly."

"Oh, right, right, right, we forgot such an important thing," Lu Yi said awkwardly, then he and Ouyang Jin each took one arm and helped the exhausted Gu Fan to his feet.

At that moment, Lu Yi glanced at Harvin and his people and asked, "Gu Fan, these people..."

"They are now companions as well," Gu Fan said, then added, "If you are willing, come with us. The more people we have, the better our chances of breaking out together."

Some of the soldiers were unhappy, "Together is fine, but why should we follow your commands?"

Hearing this, Gu Fan frowned, knowing this was a problem. A team lacking unified command could sometimes be a burden despite having more people.

Harvin also frowned, wanting to utilize the extraordinary strength of Gu Fan and his companions to break out of the Dark Primitive Mountain, yet he was reluctant to be commanded by someone so young. However, given the current circumstances, he had no choice but to lower his head.

At that moment, General Horton arrived and immediately recognized Harvin, coming over to greet him.

It turned out the two knew each other, and since Horton had high command capabilities over the mercenary troops, Harvin felt he could follow General Horton’s lead.

Everyone gathered at the simple sluice gate, which was already open, and the boats passed through one after another.

Su Hui counted the casualties. There were over forty dead and over sixty wounded, including more than ten critically wounded. Their combat strength had been reduced by a quarter, yet they had taken down over sixty vampire warriors.

The arrival of Harvin and others significantly offset the loss of combat power, and everyone welcomed them warmly. At this time, more people were needed to pull together.

The next step was to make rapid repairs and then set off. Gu Fan’s view was that since so many vampire warriors had come and even prepared an ambush, it seemed Organization X had already set their sights on this place. Therefore, they must set off before Organization X could regroup and send a large force.

The group generally agreed with this view, and Harvin was surprised by the boldness of Gu Fan and his companions in heading in the opposite direction. Harvin was here with the same thought.

Since there were no objections, they immediately began to act, everyone boarding the boats one after another, continuing along the River of Survival toward the deeper parts of the Dark Primitive Mountain.

However, there were too many wounded, and very few had the ability to care for themselves, which meant that just taking care of these injured would consume a lot of manpower.

About six people per boat, including one wounded, meant that the strength of five was needed to protect and care for one injured person.

Gu Fan stood on the simple sluice gate, watching everyone set off without hurrying to board a boat himself. He wasn’t in a rush; he was thinking about why Organization X had built a simple sluice gate here.

Lu Yi felt that it was definitely because Organization X wanted to prevent people from getting closer to the Dark City by traveling via the River of Survival, so they set up a defense line here.

The reasoning sounded solid, but the problem was that on the Road of Death, Organization X had not established a checkpoint, even though the Road of Death led directly to the Dark City.

The difference between the Road of Death and the River of Survival lay in their endpoints. The endpoint of the Road of Death was Dark City, while the River of Survival bypassed Dark City and went to the deeper parts of the Dark Primitive Mountain.

This simple sluice gate made Gu Fan even more certain that there must be some secret in the deeper parts of the Dark Primitive Mountain that Organization X didn’t want anyone to get close to.

"All right, it’s getting dark; let’s set off," Su Hui called everyone to board the boat, and on their boat, the injured person was Irina, causing everyone to show a mischievous smile.
