Chapter 1162 Xu Fan's Suspicion
Chapter 1162 Xu Fan's Suspicion
Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Qi wrapped their legs and arms tightly, as if they were wearing thick silver armor.
Each layer of foil is tightly bonded to ensure absolute safety.
Then, Jiang Jiyun gripped the pistol tightly in his left hand and the razor-sharp dagger tightly in his right, fully focused and ready to deal with any danger at any moment.
The two continued on their way in the direction indicated by Xiao Qi, encountering countless disgusting rats along the way, but they killed them one by one with their agility.
When the two finally arrived at their destination, they were covered in blood and reeked of a nauseating stench, as if they had crawled out of a pool of blood.
Jiang Jiyun looked down at the tin foil covering her arms and legs, which was covered with dense rat bite marks, and a wave of fear washed over her.
Fortunately, they had taken precautions beforehand; otherwise, they would probably have become delicious food for those vicious rats by now.
"Sister, there are footsteps up there." Xiao Qi pricked up her ears alertly, caught a faint sound, and immediately whispered to Jiang Jiyun.
Without hesitation, Jiang Jiyun pulled Xiao Qi up and slipped into the space.
Just as their figures completely disappeared, a slight noise came from above.
Two people appeared here, squatted down, and lifted the manhole cover.
As the wellhead opened, a strong, pungent stench wafted out, accompanied by the squeals of rats and the low, suppressed roars of some unknown animal.
The man hurriedly slammed the lid shut, then abruptly turned around and whispered to his companion standing beside him, "These rats will spread like a plague to every nook and cranny of the city in less than two days. Our grand plan, meticulously crafted over the past few years, is about to be fully realized!"
The man gazed intently at the area to the east where thick smoke was billowing.
The person next to him said, "Once we remove the iron plate used to stop the rats from escaping, they'll be running around excitedly. It's just a pity about Fujisawa and the others; they'll probably be sacrificed today too."
A person nearby sighed, "What do a few insignificant personal sacrifices matter when the great empire can ultimately achieve a glorious victory..."
Jiang Jiyun was intently washing his hands, while listening carefully to the whispers coming from outside.
Although she couldn't understand all of the Japanese language, she knew what "gyokusai" (銀碎) meant in their words.
And when he caught those two words from the mouths of those two Japanese soldiers, a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Without further delay, she quickly took a shower and changed into a clean and dry set of clothes.
As they exited the bathroom, they saw Xiao Qi, who had also come out clean. The two prepared to go out and continue their investigation.
Before leaving, she turned back to remind Xu Fan and his wife that if they had time, they should continue to brew the medicine and roll it into pills for later use.
To Jiang Jiyun's surprise, Xu Fan didn't take her words to heart at all. On the contrary, he grabbed Jiang Jiyun's arm tightly.
He asked suspiciously, "What were you two doing? Why are you both covered in blood? Why didn't your uncle and the others come in with you?"
Jiang Jiyun, who was being held tightly, rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Xu Fan, my uncle and the others are fighting desperately outside, and I was just about to leave the battlefield with this little brother when we accidentally fell into a pile of corpses and got covered in blood."
Xu Fan stared wide-eyed at Jiang Jiyun and the other boy with a look of suspicion.
He questioned, "Do you think I would believe such nonsense? Look at the disheveled state you two were in when you came in just now, you don't look like you're fleeing a battlefield at all. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't human blood, I probably would have thought that you two had just committed murder together!"
Jiang Jiyun struggled to break free from Xu Fan's grasp and hurriedly explained, "Brother Xu Fan, what I said is true. We need to get out of here quickly, otherwise my brother and the others will definitely worry."
However, Xu Fan remained skeptical and insisted on going out with them to investigate.
He firmly stated, "No, I'll go out with you and take a look."
After all, his uncle and others had told him more than once that Jiang Jiyun was a big talker and his words were not very credible.
She usually only makes sense in two out of ten sentences; the other eight are just meant to fool people.
Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Jiang Jiyun told him to put on a bulletproof vest and take a weapon when he went out.
"Boom!"
"hiss……"
As soon as Xu Fan stepped out of the space, he collided with the ground above him without any warning. His vision went black, and his body involuntarily leaned backward, landing on the ground.
He groaned in pain, rubbing his injured head with his hand, tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes.
As my vision gradually cleared, I looked around and found two little guys squatting beside me.
Xu Fan immediately realized where they were and said with dissatisfaction, "Why did you two come down underground again? Didn't you even tell me beforehand!"
The words had barely left his mouth when a strange smell entered his nostrils.
He suddenly remembered smelling that scent earlier, which was the blood from Jiang Jiyun and the little guy.
So he followed the scent and saw a mountain of objects piled up not far away, but he couldn't figure out what they were at a glance.
Xu Fan was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did you kill?"
Xiao Qi proudly held up a rat that had been dead for a long time, showed it to Xu Fan, and replied, "This is it."
Xu Fan frowned as he looked at the large rat and asked in a serious tone, "Are those Japanese devils planning to spread a plague?"
Xu Fan guessed that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.
Without daring to delay for even a moment, he quickly got up, forcefully pushed open the heavy manhole cover, and climbed out of the tunnel.
Then, he reached out and pulled the two children out of the well one by one.
Xu Fan watched the room warily, and could vaguely see many figures moving around.
He looked at the boy, who was about half a year old, and the child, who was a tiny little one, and said in a low voice, "What exactly do you two want to do? I don't believe your uncle would let you bring a young child into the Japanese laboratory! Isn't that just courting death? Get the child in right now!"
Xiaoqi refused, saying, "No need, I can kill Japanese soldiers too. I've killed some before."
Xu Fan watched in surprise as the little guy ran off carrying a gun taller than himself. Jiang Jiyun glanced at him and said, "Brother Xu Fan, don't underestimate people."
Jiang Jiyun and his group crept to the edge of the house and, listening to the noise inside, they heard the footsteps of many people.
