Chapter 248: Mid-Autumn Festival gift

Zhang Yong happened to be alone.

Everyone else had gone to the side to seal it off. He didn't expect there to be an exit here.

In fact, there didn't seem to be an exit up ahead. There was a bunch of weeds.

The Japanese spy sprang out from among the weeds.

He was fast. He ran very fast.

Zhang Yong drew his gun.

What?

Hand-to-hand combat?

Sorry. Not sure.

These Japanese spies, they all seem incredibly powerful.

If he fights head-on, he'll probably be annihilated in one move.

To be on the safe side, he must strike first. And it must be a sneak attack.

So...

He decisively raises his gun.

When the Japanese spy appears indistinctly in the darkness...

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

Zhang Yong pulls the trigger.

Will this alert the other enemy? Yes. But there's no time to think about that.

If he doesn't shoot, the Japanese spy will be right in front of him.

The gunshot rings out. The Japanese spy in front of him staggers. It seems like he's been hit. But the huge momentum makes him keep coming towards Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong quickly steps sideways. And keeps shooting.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

The distance is getting closer and closer.

Almost all the bullets hit the Japanese spy.

Finally, the Japanese spy fell to the ground headfirst. He struggled a few times. Then he stopped moving.

The red dot disappeared. It was confirmed that he was indeed dead.

Zhang Yong quickly holstered his gun. Then he stepped forward.

He felt the corpse.

He felt thick banknotes.

In the faint light, he could vaguely see that they were US dollars and British pounds, mixed together in a messy way. But there were a lot of them.

It really was a windfall.

He immediately stored them in his personal space.

It was worth the trip to Zhenjiang.

Hehe, keep feeling.

I also feel a large amount of banknotes. I will take them all for myself.

I deduce that these banknotes are most likely those of the foreigners on Uranus.

The Japanese spy must have plundered their belongings and brought them ashore. But for some reason, this Japanese spy tried to run away with the goods.

Could it be that the Japanese spies had a civil war?

Not surprising.

People die for money, and birds die for food. Japanese spies are no exception.

The Japanese are all very fanatical. But fanaticism and greed are not mutually exclusive. This Japanese spy probably wanted to keep all the treasure for himself.

As a result, he unexpectedly encountered himself. It just so happened to be a gift for himself.

Hehe. Of course, he accepted it. To put it conservatively, there should be several thousand US dollars and several thousand pounds. He was very pleased. He was overjoyed.

Of course, the price was also very high.

That price was the sound of the gun. The other Japanese spies were alerted.

In the time to come, it would certainly not be easy to capture the remaining Japanese spies. A prepared Japanese spy was very difficult to deal with.

Unless the army was deployed.

However, near Zhenjiang, there was only the navy. The rest was the security team.

It was better not to count on the security team to eliminate the Japanese spies.

In case the security team was wiped out...

Continue to search the bodies.

Good guy, there are still some.

This Japanese spy had hidden banknotes everywhere on his body.

There's no point looking. Hurry up and hide everything. It's too late.

The nearby secret agents have quickly come to reinforce them.

Finally, they have basically finished searching.

Wu Liuqi, who is the fastest runner, has also rushed up.

'What's going on?'

'A Japanese spy has escaped.'

'Huh?'

Wu Liuqi is stunned.

A Japanese spy has escaped? How come he didn't notice?

It's dark, and the light is extremely dim. Standing a few dozen metres away, you definitely can't see it.

'Shaolong!'

'Shaolong!'

At this time, Dai Yice also came over.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, he knew there was trouble. The Japanese spies had been alerted. There was no way to sneak up on them.

'Oh, I killed a Japanese spy.'

'You...'

Dai Yice wanted to say something, but stopped.

He wanted to say that it would have been better if they hadn't fired their guns.

But then he thought about it and didn't say anything.

He also knew that Zhang Yong's martial arts skills were average, or even weak. Without their guns, they definitely couldn't beat the Japanese spies.

Since the gun has been fired, there is nothing we can do. We can only fight head-on.

Fortunately, there are two action teams with hundreds of people to deal with ten or so Japanese spies, so we are still confident.

As for the cost in casualties...

That is hard to say.

The Japanese spies, who are prepared, are definitely not easy to deal with.

In particular, the Japanese spies still have weapons in their hands. I don't know how many guns and bullets there are. And whether there are explosives.

'Let's wait until dawn,' Dai Yice said.

'Okay...' Zhang Yong replied. His expression changed.

Huh?

Another red dot is moving?

What's going on?

What are the Japanese doing? Why did they come out alone?

Are they scouting to find out what's going on outside?

'What's wrong?' Dai Yice asked.

'The Japanese are sneaking out again,' Zhang Yong replied.

'You can see them?'

'I can smell their breath, and they're getting closer.'

'This...'

Dai Yice was incredulous.

You can smell the Japanese invaders in such an open area?

That's amazing.

It feels a bit ridiculous.

It's dark all around, and the night wind is blowing. You brat, there's a limit to how much you can lie.

'Follow me,' Zhang Yong whispered.

'Okay,' Dai Yice nodded.

Zhang Yong walked in front. The others followed quietly.

Zhang Yong appeared quietly in the direction the Japanese spy was about to move.

'Did you bring the flashlight?' Zhang Yong asked.

'Yes,' Yang Zhi replied.

'When I tell you to shine the flashlight, do it immediately.'

'Okay.'

'Stay crouched. Don't move without orders.'

'Okay.'

Everyone obeyed.

Including Dai Yice, they were all crouched on the ground. They were fully concentrated.

The light was very weak. It was the end of the lunar month. The Mid-Autumn Festival was only half a month away. There was no moon. The clouds were low.

The Japanese spy's reconnaissance route was constantly changing.

However, the general direction had not changed. It was still heading towards Zhang Yong.

The distance was gradually closing...

Fifty metres...

Forty metres...

The red dot suddenly stopped moving.

Zhang Yong: ?

What is this guy doing? Why isn't he moving on?

He frowned. But he didn't move. He guessed that the Japanese spy was listening carefully for any sound.

If there was any unusual noise, the Japanese spy would immediately sense that something was wrong.

Fortunately, there was none. Everyone waited patiently.

A few minutes later, the Japanese spy was sure that there was nothing unusual, so he moved quietly again.

30 metres...

20 metres...

The Japanese spy stopped again.

This time, he was still listening carefully for any sound.

Zhang Yong breathes cautiously.

The darkness is exceptionally quiet at this moment.

Zhang Yong suddenly thinks of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival!

Why haven't I seen any mooncakes on sale yet?

I want to eat the ones with five kinds of nuts in them...

'Achoo!'

Just then, someone sneezes.

Damn it.

The Japanese spy has been alerted.

'Flashlight!'

Zhang Yong shouts.

Yang Zhi immediately switched on the torch. The Japanese spy was immediately exposed.

'Don't move!'

'Don't move!'

Everyone shouted as they rushed up.

The Japanese spy turned and ran.

However, no matter how fast he was, he was no match for Wu Liuqi and the others, who had been waiting in ambush.

A group of agents surrounded him from the left and right and gave chase like mad. After a few dozen seconds, the Japanese spy was caught up with. Then he was brought down by several people. A quick body search was conducted. Then he was escorted back.

'Any weapons?' Zhang Yong asked.

'None found,' Wu Liuji replied.

'That's good,' Zhang Yong let out a sigh of relief.

The last thing he wanted was for the Japanese spy to have explosives like grenades on him. That would be the end.

If the Japanese spy detonated the grenade during the arrest, there would be heavy casualties. All those who pounced on him would probably die a heroic death.

Seriously, arresting a Japanese spy was just as dangerous as fighting on the frontlines. Both were very deadly.

If you're not careful, you won't see tomorrow's sun.

'Search him.'

'I've already done that. There's only some money.'

'Give it to me!'

Zhang Yong reached out and took it.

It was all scattered US and British pounds.

Perhaps the Japanese spies had distributed their wealth among the men? And were preparing to break out in separate groups?

Never mind. He took out a few US$5 bills from inside. They were rewards for the first five men to rush up. They were the fastest. And the first to pin down the Japanese spies.

Five dollars. An on-the-spot reward. Definitely worth it. This is a job where you can sacrifice at any time.

As for the rest of the bills, they were handed over to Yang Zhi for safekeeping.

What had been exposed had already been handed in.

Anyway, Zhang Yong had just received a large sum, so he didn't care about this.

Just give your subordinates money whenever you get the chance. I've spent all the money. The department head wouldn't be able to take it back, would he? It's not like it's a lot of money.

They had seized two or three hundred gold bars before, so this petty cash must have seemed insignificant to them.

But for each agent, five dollars was still worth a lot. It was almost twenty or thirty silver dollars. But these were US dollars. There was a fundamental difference between them and silver dollars.

'Team Leader Dai, let's discuss something.'

'Speak.'

'After we catch the Japanese spy, I want to gather all the seized money and property. We'll give each of us ten US dollars.'

'Great!'

'You see, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up soon, and there's no time to prepare any gifts for everyone. Ten dollars each is like an early gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival. What do you think?'

'That's good.'

'OK. I'll take charge of this matter. There's no need to report it up the chain of command. That way, no one else will have any complaints.'

'Don't worry. I'll take charge of it too,'

Dai Yice said with a smile. He was happy to hand out money too!

In fact, as long as there's money, which team leader wouldn't want to give their subordinates a bit more? It's a dangerous job.

They are all brothers in life and death, and they are all sworn friends. If there is a benefit, they must not be forgotten. Otherwise, if you are in danger in the future, your brothers may simply abandon you.

'Why don't...' Dai Yice looked around quietly.

'The Japanese spies are all poor and have nothing,' Zhang Yong immediately understood.

'Yes. That's it,' Dai Yice beamed.

He was waiting for Zhang Yong to say this.

To be honest, he didn't want to hand over the US and British dollars.

Even if the commander was his relative, he would do the same.

It would be best to quietly divide it up.

He would report back that the Japanese spy only had a little scattered money on him. It would be distributed on the spot.

As for the big money, of course he and Zhang Yong would secretly swallow it.

'Okay, I'll make the arrangements,' Zhang Yong smiled knowingly.

'Good!' Dai Yice nodded.

Then he smiled knowingly.

They were all like-minded people. They could cooperate more in the future.

Patience lurked.

Gradually, dawn broke.

No Japanese invaders came out.

Then there was no other way. They could only attack proactively.
