Chapter 413: Hallucinations

Vaguely, it looks like a magic cube?

I didn't get a good look at it. It looks like there are many mysterious patterns on the surface.

Vaguely, it seems like there is a bright light shining through.

And then...

[Mind control activated...]

[Insufficient energy...]

[Loading 0.01% energy...]

[Mind control activation failed...

] A message seemed to have flashed past.

And then...

There was no then.

The bright light disappeared.

The mysterious patterns also disappeared.

It had turned into a stone.

He reached out. He wanted to take it out. But he found that it was not moving at all.

He was puzzled. What was going on?

What was it?

Mind control?

Was it Yuri's special skill?

Could he turn his enemies into his allies? Could he make his enemies help him fight?

Wow!

This was awesome.

No need for interrogation.

Just turn the enemy into one of your own.

Unfortunately...

Activation failed.

What a tragedy.

What is the energy source the system needs? A Tiberium mine?

There aren't any on Earth!

Where would I find a Tiberium mine?

Oh no!

Without this ore, where would the system get its energy?

Even if it is activated on 7th July 1937, it's useless. Forget about airplanes, tanks, heavy artillery, battleships, and so on.

So, you have to find a way yourself. You can't rely on the system completely...

'I wonder if there are any more devils?'

'I didn't get enough killing just now...'

'I hope we don't have to go back to Shanghai so soon...'

Suddenly, I heard Cao Mengqi talking. It was as if he was whispering in my ear.

I subconsciously turned around. But I was puzzled to find that Cao Mengqi was not by my ear. Instead, he was staring blankly some thirty metres away. And his back was still turned to me.

Huh?

What's going on?

Why did I hear him muttering?

Weird...

He listened intently, but there was nothing.

It was quiet all around, where was Cao Mengqi's voice?

He shook his head.

He felt too strange.

Maybe he was too tired and had heard voices.

Indeed, his physical fitness was not as good as others, and he was indeed tired after running continuously just now...

'Pang!'

'Pang!'

The sharp sound of gunfire interrupted Zhang Yong's rambling thoughts.

The battle is not over yet. The Japanese military police are still shooting. But they are far away.

The red dots are all at the edge of the map. It seems that they are not catching up.

Maybe the Japanese have given up.

They want to retreat. They don't want to continue causing trouble.

A few are killed at a time, and a few more are killed at a time. Little by little, they will gradually disappear.

However, for Zhang Yong, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What was the instructor's 16-character policy? There was one anyway: 'When the enemy retreats, immediately pursue. Don't let the enemy catch their breath.'

Now...

'The enemy is running!'

'Pursue!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

He returned with five men.

Suddenly, he noticed that two red dots had been motionless.

All the other red dots were moving northeast. Only these two red dots were not responding.

Huh?

Is this an ambush?

Or are they responsible for covering the rear?

How insidious.

They must be hiding. Waiting for the pursuers to come up. Then they will shoot.

Is this the legendary drag-knife tactic?

Luckily, there is a map to guide us. Otherwise, if we charge headlong, we will definitely be killed.

Damn. Crafty Japanese invaders...

Hurry and signal. Everyone stops in a hurry. Each person hides.

'What's wrong?'

'There are two Japanese invaders ambushing us.'

'Two?'

'Yes!'

'Where?'

'Wait.'

Zhang Yong quietly raised his binoculars to look for the enemy.

Although there was a map to guide him, it was not easy to quickly find the hidden Japanese soldiers. They were well hidden.

After a while, Zhang Yong found one on the left. Not daring to make a move, he continued to look for the second one.

If he shot the first one, he would reveal his position. He would probably be shot by the second Japanese soldier. Only by killing them both together could he be relatively safe.

Well, relatively safe. There was no such thing as 100% safety.

If one of the Japanese soldiers doesn't get killed, there's a high chance that he'll fight back. And then he'll kill you.

Or maybe even both of the Japanese soldiers don't get killed. Then they'll fight back together. That would be bad. Someone will die if you're not careful.

The distance is quite far. It's 150 metres.

The distance of the previous sneak attack was also 150 metres. But this time is completely different.

The Japanese military police before were almost completely exposed. And they weren't alert. But the Japanese soldiers in front of you are very vigilant.

Their bodies only reveal half of their heads. Nothing below the eyes.

Fortunately, there is a telescope, so he can aim accurately.

Under these circumstances, it is indeed difficult to kill someone with one shot. Alas, when will there be a scope...

Finally, he spots a second target.

There is almost no shooting angle. He can only shoot at the head. There is no guarantee that one shot will kill.

Of course, there is a workaround.

The method is to run diagonally about 50 or 100 metres. Then shoot. Then hide.

The Japanese ambushers will definitely shoot back. It may be slightly more exposed.

Then Yu Lexi and Cao Mengqi will seize the opportunity. Send the devils five bullets. Maybe it can be lethal.

No. It's two bullets per Japanese soldier.

And what's the fifth bullet for? A finishing shot. Which Japanese soldier hasn't died yet, finish him.

How do you tell if they're dead or not?

There's no way to tell. You can only rely on their eyesight.

'Did you remember?'

'Yes!'

'Good!'

Zhang Yong immediately sprinted off at an angle.

He drew about 70 metres away from them. It was as if he drew an angle.

'Paf!'

Zhang Yong fired.

Then he immediately crouched down. Taking cover.

'Puff!'

'Puff!'

Sure enough, the Japanese soldiers immediately retaliated.

The two Japanese soldiers fired together. Revealing their level.

It seems that the Japanese soldiers also lacked practical experience.

Although they were well-trained. But they really lacked practical experience.

Since the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army has not experienced large-scale actual combat.

Zhang Xiaoliu gave up the three northeastern provinces without resistance.

There was no fighting when they entered the Pingjin area.

It can be said that they won by intimidation.

On the contrary, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, many Japanese soldiers gained a lot of combat experience.

Unfortunately, when they thought they had reached the maximum level and wanted to level up, they encountered the super firepower of the United States. No one is fighting face to face. It's just a direct firepower barrage.

So, all that experience was useless. In the end, they died. With a sense of grievance.

Specifically, in the battle at hand, one Japanese soldier was enough to counterattack. But there were two of them. I guess they didn't agree on who would do it first.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

The sound of gunfire continued.

It was the Springfield M1903 rifle firing.

Zhang Yong crouched down.

He didn't dare look up.

After a moment, the two red dots disappeared.

Hmmm...

A great relief.

It's over. It's all over.

Cao Mengqi and the others are still very fierce. Their marksmanship is very solid.

As long as they get the chance, they can kill with one shot. They definitely won't give the Japanese invaders a chance to shoot again.

Show your head.

It's fine. It's safe.

Go back to Yu Lexing's side. Wave everyone to get up.

'It's safe!'

'It's safe!'

Zhang Yong gestures.

At the same time, he quietly walks towards a Japanese corpse.

He notices that the Japanese soldier's head has been blown off, leaving a large hole in the back of his skull.

The 7.62x63mm bullet from the United States is indeed very powerful. A bullet to the head will definitely cause a large blood hole. It is much more powerful than the AK-47.

It is definitely overpowered.

No wonder the Garand rifle is so powerful.

The United States has almost no decent light machine guns. The Garand perfectly replaces them.

He gestures.

Keep moving.

Unfortunately, they couldn't catch up.

The Japanese military police had retreated back into the Japanese concession.

Zhang Yong had no idea what would happen next. And it didn't matter to him anyway.

Anyway...

The worst thing that could happen...

was a full-scale outbreak of the war of resistance.

The Japanese launched a major offensive on Pingjin.

Obviously, this was impossible. He didn't have the energy to change the course of history yet.

The Japanese would definitely retaliate...

'Good intentions are like donkey livers...'

'I'm giving you a Japanese beauty, and you don't want her?'

'Hmph! You still doubt me!'

'When we get to the bridal chamber, I'll bite you!'

'I'll bite you to death! I'll bite you to death...'

Suddenly, a strange voice came from somewhere.

It sounded like Mei Xiao's.

He subconsciously turned around. He didn't see anyone.

He turned his head again. He looked around carefully. He didn't see Mei Xiao. He was puzzled.

Was this...

'Instructor Yu...'

'Go on,'

'Did Mei Xiao appear nearby just now?'

'No!'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong frowned inwardly.

Damn it. He was really exhausted. He was hearing things.

Before, he heard Cao Mengqi talking. This time, he heard Mei Xiao talking. It was as if they were whispering in his ear.

However, their bodies clearly weren't by his side!

What was going on? How could this be so absurd?

Cao Mengqi was nearby, so that could be explained. But Mei Xiao...

Suddenly, he saw a figure moving in the distance.

He glanced over. It was definitely Mei Xiao. Oh. She was hiding nearby.

This woman...

Is she really not plotting against me?

I don't believe it...

He waved at her. Told her to come over.

Mei Xiao shuffled over, looking deliberately sullen.

Zhang Yong asked, 'The Japanese woman?'

'Since you don't want her, I had to let her go.'

'You really let her go?'

'Of course! Otherwise, what would I do with her, a woman?'

'Who exactly are you?'

'Guess?'

'I...'

Zhang Yong suddenly choked.

Guess?

How can I guess?

Who knows what kind of person you are?

So mysterious...

So sneaky...

'Hmph, it's strange if you can guess.'

'You definitely can't imagine that Mengde would have someone in Tianjin, too!'

'Hmph. You have ruined Gu Xiaoru. We will avenge Xiaoru. When you are in the bridal chamber, I will show you...'

Suddenly, it seemed as if I heard Mei Xiao mumble.

Huh?

This is very strange.

Is this her talking?

But I clearly didn't see her lips move.

Could it be her inner thoughts?

Suddenly, a bold thought occurred to me. Is this related to mind control?

Failed to activate mind control. Unable to control other people's minds. But can you 'hear' other people's thoughts intermittently?

I think so...

These are not hallucinations...

This is all real. It's Mei Xiao's inner thoughts.

I didn't expect her to be a member of Mengde Club. It turns out that she wants to avenge Gu Xiaoru. I really didn't expect that.

This is outrageous.

She actually wants to teach me a lesson on my wedding night.

That's terrible...

The three sisters have been playing tricks in the ruins for so long, their target should not be me. I should just be there at the right time.

They knew my identity in advance...

They wanted to continue eavesdropping on her mental activities. But they couldn't hear anything anymore.

I understand.

I guess this eavesdropping function is incomplete. It works sometimes and not at others. Just like Duan Yu's Six Divine Swords. When it works, he is invincible, but when it doesn't...

That's fine. No need to push it. It's good to be able to eavesdrop occasionally. It's fine if you can't hear anything.

Since they know they're associates of Gu Xiaoru, they shouldn't harm themselves. Most of the so-called lessons are just pranks.

'Then follow me!'

'Why?'

'It's safer to follow me. If you get captured by the Japanese invaders, won't I lose a wife?'

'You're talking nonsense!'

'Don't go!'

Zhang Yong embraced her.

Haha. I know all about you. You still want to run?

You think I'll wait for you to arrange the bridal chamber? Ridiculous. I'll arrange it. Let's cook the rice early and have the wedding dinner.

'Someone saw...'

'It's fine. They're used to it.'

'No...'

'You're my wife, so you have to listen!'

'I...'

Mei Xiao found herself being held tightly.

She tried to struggle, but it was useless. After all, she was a woman, and she definitely wasn't as strong as Zhang Yong.

She looked around sideways. Sure enough, she saw everyone else turning their faces away, acting as if they hadn't seen anything. She was secretly worried. This bastard. He really is an expert at this.

Gu Xiaoru must have been forcibly taken by him like this. This scoundrel! Demon!

Pervert! It's a shame that Gu Xiaoru still has a soft spot for him.

'Don't move!'

'What are you going to do?'

'We're going to the Rixin Hotel.'

'What?'

'Accompany me on a mission!'

'What?'

'I'm going on a mission and I need your help. Understand?'

'Me, how can I help?'

'You're my wife. You just need to play the role of a good wife.'

'But...'

'What? The wedding ceremony doesn't count?'

'No...'

'Then let's go!'

Zhang Yong didn't give her a chance to argue, put his arm around her and walked away.

She was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and she still wanted to run?

Haha!
