Chapter 145 Reencounter with the Human-Faced Rat
"Mr. Ma, this side looks like the Japanese soldiers' living quarters!"
After looking through the rooms, Old Li said ingratiatingly.
Ma Shuai nodded noncommittally, then looked at Long Nier and said, "Nier, if another rat swarm like before were to occur, do you have any way to deal with it?"
"Uncle Ma, I can't guarantee that we'll be wiped out, but I can guarantee our safety!" Long Nier said.
"That's good, that's good!" Ma Shuai breathed a sigh of relief.
After exploring this side, we returned the way we came and followed the passage to the other side.
Upon arriving, the first thing we saw was a large hall.
Unlike before, this hall was very spacious, and it looked like a gathering point.
Directly in front of the hall are three prison cells.
The cell door was the common kind with iron bars, and the cell inside was completely empty.
"That's not right, why isn't there a single corpse?" Old Li muttered.
"It's all gone!" Master Jiang said in a deep voice.
"They ate all the people, but what about the clothes? Do those rats eat clothes too?" Old Li asked again.
"And the gun? We haven't seen the gun!"
"These Japanese devils can't be empty-handed, can they?"
Old Li then pointed to the three prison cells.
That's what we want to know too.
Just as Old Li said, if the people are all eaten, what about their clothes and guns?
Something's coming!
As they were talking, Fatty Lin made a shushing gesture.
"tread!"
"tread!"
Soon, a series of orderly footsteps sounded from the left side of the cell.
Right before our eyes, several Japanese soldiers dressed in Japanese uniforms and carrying guns appeared in our line of sight.
When they came out and saw us, they called out, "Dareda!"
After shouting, they pointed their guns and charged at us.
"The Japanese devils?"
Lin Zi was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and charged towards the five Japanese soldiers with his kukri in hand.
The other five bodyguards also moved at the same time.
It's sizzling!
Soon, the kukri slit open a Japanese soldier's throat, but instead of bleeding, it made a sound like cold water being plunged into a pot of oil.
"Not human, not human?"
Upon seeing this, Old Li couldn't help but shout it out.
"Shut up!" Ma Shuai shouted and slapped Lao Li across the face.
Grandpa Jiang didn't say anything, but looked at the few Japanese soldiers with red eyes.
Upon discovering that these Japanese soldiers were not human, Lin Zi and his men did not stop, or rather, they did not regard these Japanese soldiers as ghosts. They slit throats and cut necks, performing tactical maneuvers one after another. In just a few moves, the heads of these Japanese soldiers were cut off.
Fatty Lin followed closely behind, making hand seals with one hand and forming mudras with the other, ordering the severed heads to explode one by one.
"Awesome!"
As the last head exploded, Fatty Lin yelled and swung his hand violently.
"Repair the hook!"
Just then, a shrill cry rang out, accompanied by a series of shrill whistles.
As the whistle blew, footsteps echoed from all directions, and the entire ruins seemed to come alive in an instant, even the lights became brighter.
"Brother, look!"
Long Nier quietly tugged at me and gestured towards the opposite side. I looked over and saw that the three prison cells across the way had been filled with civilians at some point.
There are three prison cells, with a total of more than one hundred people.
These people were wearing identical prison uniforms, their expressions blank, staring at us in a daze.
As I was watching, the footsteps around us stopped, and three squads of Japanese soldiers appeared from three sides, surrounding us in the center of the hall.
"Damn it, we've stumbled into the Japanese devils' lair!"
Fatty Lin looked around, his eyes filled with excitement, not fear.
The six bodyguards, led by Lin Zi, remained silent, their eyes filled with an even stronger murderous intent than before.
Master Jiang was the same; there was no fear on his face, only a desire to take revenge himself.
Marshal Ma's expression was rather complicated; the appearance of these Japanese soldiers seemed to have actually relieved him.
Only Old Li, that guy is a coward, his legs are shaking non-stop.
After this incident, even if Coach Ma doesn't fire him, he'll have to be marginalized.
"Oral Kushi!"
During the standoff, a Japanese officer wearing a white coat and a military cap stepped out from among the three squads of Japanese soldiers, pointed at us, and shouted something.
"Fuck you!"
Fatty Lin ignored all of that and rushed forward, wielding his knuckle duster at him.
As soon as he moved, Lin Zi and the bodyguards also moved.
"superior!"
Ma Shuai also shouted and rushed out.
"Ni'er, come with me!"
I handed the Demon-Slaying Seal to Long Nier, then followed behind Fatty Lin and rushed out.
If Lin Pangzi were in ancient times, he would definitely be a vanguard general.
After stabbing the leading Japanese officer to the ground, he used the officer as leverage to charge into the group of Japanese soldiers. His kukri flashed up and down, each strike leaving a trail of black smoke.
The Japanese soldiers' attacks had little effect on him, or rather, he withstood them.
My grandfather and Lin Pangzi's grandfather said more than once that when it comes to exorcising evil spirits, in the end, it often comes down to who has more blood and who can withstand the damage.
To see if someone has the potential, you don't need to look at anything else, just look at their physical condition.
Skinny guys can't amount to much.
This statement may be somewhat biased, but it couldn't be more accurate when applied to Fatty Lin; this guy is just like Zhang Fei, a fierce warrior.
Long Nier and I followed behind him, picking off any remaining Japanese soldiers. In no time, we had taken down more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who came out of the passage behind us.
After we've taken down these Japanese devils, we'll immediately turn around and help Commander Ma and his men.
To my surprise, Ma Shuai was unusually fierce, as if possessed by a ghost. He wielded a whip wrapped with colorful ribbons and led his six bodyguards, charging back and forth among the Japanese soldiers.
With one lash, any Japanese soldier touched by the whip would be turned into black smoke and become mutilated.
That whip had been covered with a leather sheath and had been held by Old Li; it turned out to be the Martial King Whip.
Ma Shuai and his men were already evenly matched, and after we came to help, we wiped out both Japanese squads in less than a minute.
As the last Japanese soldier was drained of his life force and turned into black smoke, the surrounding environment returned to its gloomy state as when they first entered, and the figures of the civilians in the three prison cells gradually disappeared.
But I noticed that their originally numb and stiff faces seemed to have gained some vitality.
"Human-faced rat!"
Just then, Old Li pointed to the corner of the prison and shouted.
Looking over, we saw a large rat standing there, looking like a human, wearing a tattered white coat, with no hair on its face. Its face resembled both a rat's and a human's, and it was staring at us with resentment.
After being exposed by Old Li, it turned around and ran into the passage.
