A train from Peiping slowed down and slowly passed the iron bridge.
Passengers on the train looked curiously at the rolling water of the Yellow River outside. September is still the flood season, and the water level of the Yellow River is very high.
Some people can't help but worry that if the Yellow River Iron Bridge collapses...
If the train falls into the water...
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, there was a dull sound.
Some sensitive passengers immediately realized that it was the sound of exploding artillery shells.
It seems to be a large-caliber artillery shell.
nervous.
Whose cannon?
Why fire? Where?
In a corner of the carriage, a middle-aged man continued to sleep.
He is very tired.
The struggle in the future will also be very dangerous.
Starting from the three northeastern provinces, we first go to Peiping, then from Peiping to Jinling. We also go from Jinling to Shanghai.
When he arrived in Shanghai, he was completely alone.
No comrades, no comrades, no organization, no funds, nothing.
Most likely, it was a trap.
The information about the Anti-Japanese Alliance may have been secretly arranged by the Japanese invaders.
The purpose is to attract more anti-Japanese elements to join the network.
However, even if there is only one point of hope, he must try his best. He must go all out.
…
…
Yellow Sea.
Across the sea from Qingdao.
The sun was shining brightly and the visibility was excellent.
A Japanese ship flying a plaster flag was sailing slowly.
This is a severely overloaded cargo ship.
It was originally used to transport goods, but it was crowded with people.
Standing outside the freighter, all that can be seen from the sea are police from the puppet Manchukuo.
They held their 79 rifles and stared at the people in the cabin.
There are faint red blood stains on the bayonets on some 79 rifles.
The cabin was crowded with people. They were all captured anti-Japanese elements. They were forcibly put on the ship and said to be transported back to the Japanese invaders' homeland.
When boarding the ship, some people tried to resist, but were suppressed.
Someone was stabbed with a bayonet.
The anti-Japanese elements, all of whom had their hands tied, were certainly no match for the brutal iron-and-rock policemen of the Puppet Manchukuo.
"We are heading south..." Someone whispered in the corner.
"Xiangnan? What do you mean?" someone asked quietly next to him.
"This is not the route to the Japanese homeland."
"Aren't you going to the Japanese homeland?"
"Probably not. We are heading south. I don't know where we are going."
"How do you judge?"
"The angle of the sun is facing south. That's right."
"in this case……"
They were caught in doubt.
What was originally despairing became a glimmer of hope.
If it was transported to the Japanese invaders' homeland, there would be no hope.
They are all Japanese invaders over there and there is no way to escape.
What's more, even if they could escape, there would be no ships.
It is impossible for an ordinary small sampan to cross the real sea. The freighter in front of us is actually quite choked.
It's okay if there is no storm, but if there is a storm, it will all sink.
The question is, heading south, where will we go?
South, where is it?
What to do?
…
…
Day. Dark. Secret room.
In a room completely covered by thick curtains, there is a little cloth man.
The little man's body is pierced with silver needles.
The surface of the silver needle has turned black. It is obviously quenched with poison.
Under the villain, there is a piece of cloth hanging with two big characters written on it: Zhang Yong.
In front of the villain, three sticks of incense were lit. The incense had burned out and the ashes were shaking.
In front of the three sticks of incense, there is also a stack of ghost coins.
…
…
"A sneeze!"
"A sneeze!"
Zhang Yong sneezed continuously.
Subconsciously I reached out and rubbed my nose. The rhinitis came back again.
Alas, rhinitis is really stubborn. Even if you travel through time, it can't be cured. The Space-Time Administration is really useless.
Continue the boring search.
The map shows that there are many weapon signs nearby.
The people have withdrawn, but the weapons signs are still there, indicating that these weapons signs are hidden.
According to Edno, they are all illegal.
As agreed before, as long as it is found, it will belong to Zhang Yong.
Anyway, Edno is rich and doesn't want these messy weapons. He has complete sets and standard ones.
Mauser……
Browning pistol...
Mosin Nagant Rifle…
The weapons found by Zhang Yong were in a mess. There was everything.
There is no ocean at all.
I must have banknotes, US dollars, pounds, etc. with me.
There is no need to hide these things.
The result is……
Listless, feeling so bored...
Who the hell wants these messy weapons? I want a small amount of money!
However……
No.
"Zhang, look!"
After a lot of hard work, I finally found something new.
I found a very well-preserved Mauser 98K with a sight installed on it.
Zhang Yong reached out and took off the scope. He found that it was a Carl Zeiss quadruple scope. At that time, it was considered the best among the scopes. It was very rare.
However, it was of no use.
A sniper rifle cannot change the world.
Continue searching.
Another Belarusian girl was found in a closed cabin.
He was holding a dagger in his hand. There was blood on the dagger. His eyes were very strange. He looked like a dormant beast. He looked very ferocious.
Next to her, lay a twisted corpse. It was also that of a White Russian woman.
Preliminary judgment shows that the two men killed each other.
Pity……
really beautiful...
However, Zhang Yong did not dare to take him with him.
What if I give him a knife...
"take away!"
Ednor waved his hand.
He doesn't care who the other person is.
What he cares about is the safety of the cruise ship.
For this reason, Edno circled several key places and asked Zhang Yong to inspect them first.
Among them, the engine room is the top priority.
If an explosion occurs in the engine room, even if the cruise ship does not sink, repairs alone will be a huge expense.
"please."
"please."
Ednor personally took Zhang Yong down to the engine room.
Zhang Yong was amazed.
This is the legendary steam turbine!
Able to propel a 10,000-ton ship for thirty knots!
The displacement of the Neptune cruise ship is at least 30,000 tons, which is almost equivalent to a battleship.
The difference is that the armor of the battleship is very thick, so the tonnage is very large. But the actual size is not as good as the Neptune cruise ship.
With the same length, if it were a battleship, its full load displacement would definitely exceed 50,000 tons.
"Anything found?"
"have."
Zhang Yong searched one by one.
There are indeed multiple weapon symbols. But they are not harmful.
They were all hidden firearms, some of which were damaged, and could not pose an effective threat to the engine room.
then……
Engine room hazards, eliminated.
"please."
"please."
Keep going down.
Go all the way down to the bottom of the cruise ship.
This is where the sea valve is located.
At the same time, the structure here is also the most complex.
Some minor sundries are stored here. Therefore, it looks very messy.
There are also some heavy iron blocks specially used to hold down the warehouse. Each iron block weighs more than dozens of tons.
search……
exclude……
No deadly explosives were found.
"fine……"
Ednor breathed a sigh of relief.
There are no explosives in the engine room and the lowest level, which eliminates the biggest hidden danger.
So, he stopped following.
Of course Nikita ran away too.
Only Yuri was captured.
However, Xiao Yafei came back quietly again.
The smile is sweet.
He also brought two small followers with him.
They were two pretty girls with guns.
Wearing an embroidered long skirt.
The pistol was inserted into the inner thigh, looming.
Zhang Yong couldn't help but take a second look.
It is actually a Walther PPK pistol made in Germany.
Sure enough, German products are exquisite. Women like them.
"Zhang, I listen to you."
Xiao Yafei deliberately showed all kinds of charm.
So Zhang Yong followed his own plan and ran around looking everywhere.
I found a lot of white spots. They were crowded together. I didn’t know who they were. But they didn’t retreat. It was really weird.
When we arrived at the location of the white spot, we found that it was a very remote corner.
Weird. As I got closer, it actually felt a bit eerie and quite cold.
"Where is this?" Zhang Yong asked.
"There's a morgue ahead." Yuri replied expressionlessly.
"Ah?" Zhang Yong was stunned.
Is there a morgue on the cruise ship? Oh, it’s possible.
After all, the cruise ship is so big and there are so many people on it, someone may die unexpectedly or suddenly at any time.
The corpse must not be thrown into the sea casually. It cannot be put down at the ports along the way. It must be returned to the hometown of the deceased and then taken away by the family members.
In this case, special freezing becomes very necessary.
No wonder it felt chilly. It turned out that the air conditioning in the morgue was leaking.
"The bodies that were assassinated before..."
"Probably not here."
"should?"
"I have never been here to check. There is no need. Since it is an assassination, it is impossible to bring the body to the morgue."
"What if?"
"Nothing in case. Nothing."
Yuri repeated his emphasis. He felt that Zhang Yong was doubting his professionalism.
Zhang Yong then said nothing and continued to move forward.
When I came outside the morgue, I found the white dots inside. Nine of them were living people.
There are actually nine living people in the morgue!
Unfortunately, these white spots are not labeled. It is impossible to know the identity in advance.
"Zhang, what did you find?" Xiao Yafei asked.
"There are nine living people in the morgue." Zhang Yong answered straightforwardly.
"What? Living people? Nine?"
"right."
"How could there be so many? Are they fake corpses?"
"Believe in science!"
Zhang Yong said angrily.
Nunu mouth gestured for Yuri to go up and smash the door.
The morgue was locked from the outside. The person in charge was also called away.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Yuri is a very good tool man.
Zhang Yong asked him to smash the door, so he picked up the fire ax and prepared to smash it hard.
result……
The door was opened.
It was opened by Xiao Yafei with a wire.
She was very curious. She urgently wanted to know whether there were really nine living people in the morgue.
Zhang Yong didn't even know this was a morgue, so how could he know there were living people in it? His ability was very weird.
Zhang Yong:……
Sure enough, those who come out to mess around are all masters.
Anyone who thinks that Concubine Xiao Ya can be manipulated at will will definitely die an ugly death.
Therefore, he has given up coveting her.
Can't afford to offend.
She will kill him at any time.
Go in.
I saw many people covered with white cloth parked inside, they must be the deceased.
Looking sideways, there were several people lying on the ground in the corner. Their bodies were crooked and twisted. Their clothes were also dirty.
Oh, they are all alive. Although they look like they are dying.
The nine white dots on the map mark are them.
The key is that they are all tied up with ropes and have rags stuffed in their mouths.
No. It's not a rag. It's a woman's handkerchief. Colorful. Silk.
A quick glance showed that he had been arrested.
Then I was freezing to death.
Fortunately, this is a morgue, not a cold storage.
If it were a cold storage used to store food and vegetables, they would have been frozen to death.
Strange, who are they?
How come you were caught and put in the morgue? Being locked up here is a bit special!
Turning to look at Yuri.
"We didn't do it." Yuri replied angrily.
"Zhang, I think he is the eldest son of the Kong family in your country." At this time, Concubine Xiao Ya said calmly next to Zhang Yong.
Eyes bright.
Tenderness is like water.
She was really curious about Zhang Yong.
There were really nine living people in the morgue! How did he know?
A prophet?
It seems that what she needs most is such a person...
"What?" Zhang Yong was stunned.
Mr. Kong?
No way?
How can it be……
Hurry up and take a closer look.
Well, I found out that one of them is really Mr. Kong!
So pitiful. There were bright red lip prints on this guy's face. Then he lay on the ground, motionless.
Squat down.
He stretched out his hand to test his breath.
Very weak. It seemed like he was really going to die.
faint!
Is Master Kong really kidnapped?
Not directing and acting?
Caught and hidden in the morgue?
The other eight people lying there are all his bodyguards?
Evil...
All eight bodyguards were arrested?
Fifty thousand pigs...
No. Are they all pigs?
All eight people were captured alive, and there was no reaction at all. No wonder Zhang Yong was thinking wrong.
Besides directing and acting, who else can do it?
"Drag it out."
"good."
Soon, nine people were dragged outside the morgue.
Finally it wasn't so cold anymore. A bodyguard gradually woke up and looked around blankly.
Zhang Yong knelt down and asked: "What's going on?"
"We..." The bodyguard's consciousness was still vague and his reaction was extremely slow.
He wanted to work hard to regain consciousness, but unfortunately his body couldn't keep up.
Finally, his head tilted and he really fainted.
Zhang Yong then shut up and stopped asking.
They were all frozen.
Instead, Xiao Yafei sent someone to bring hot water and gave it to everyone.
Gradually, the nine people slowly woke up.
Young Master Kong also gradually woke up.
Discover Zhang Yong.
identify……
Vaguely recognized.
"It's you……"
Young Master Kong suddenly burst into tears.
Then he hugged Zhang Yong's thigh and howled like ghosts and wolves. It was really sad for those who heard it and shed tears for those who heard it.
After a long time, Master Kong finally recovered.
"They are not human beings..."
"What?"
"They tortured me with a group of women..."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong was speechless.
Oops. I seem to have heard something I shouldn't have heard.
"Who are they?"
"have no idea."
"How were you caught?"
"They, they..."
Mr. Kong hesitated and evaded his words.
Zhang Yong understood.
Young Master Kong fell into a fairyland of flowers.
Of course, it can also be said to be a flower trap. I was deceived by women.
Then……
He was caught and sent to the morgue to hide.
well……
This is really...
"I will report to Minister Kong..."
"Don't, don't..."
"What?"
"Don't tell it. Don't tell it."
"But... this is a very serious crime! It's still targeted at your Kong family."
"Can't tell. Can't. Really can't..."
Young Master Kong was anxious.
Zhang Yong tilted his head and looked at him, expressing doubts.
Young Master Kong had no choice but to whisper honestly: "If people outside know about it, where will I put my face?"
"But..." Zhang Yong pretended to be very embarrassed.
Young Master Kong said hurriedly: "I know you like money. I will give you money. One hundred thousand US dollars, all for you, all for you. As long as you catch the kidnapper. But you must not tell it. Otherwise, I will
I can’t come out to play anymore. Please.”
Zhang Yong:……
That's okay.
For the sake of the other person's youth and ignorance.
As for the one hundred thousand dollars or something, it was all trivial. He never worried about it.
What's more, you still have to work hard to get the $100,000.
"Yuri, come here."
Suddenly I heard Xiao Yafei's charming voice.
Turn around.
Seeing Concubine Xiao Ya standing next to a corpse, she reached out and lifted up the white cloth.
"do what?"
Yuri was obviously unwilling to cooperate.
Resist Xiao Yafei’s orders.
"The man who was assassinated in the corridor before is lying here."
"ah?"
Yuri hurried over.
Zhang Yong also followed quickly and took a look. His face changed slightly.
