Chapter 639: Tunnel

A flatbed truck arrived.

Then two rickshaws. And several other people.

They took away all the oceans, as well as weapons and ammunition. The main thing was speed.

Zhang Yong did not meet them face to face.

Although he was not afraid. But it was safer. To avoid causing trouble for the Red Party.

In case Ye Wansheng and the others, unable to defeat him, went to the Red Party to cause trouble. Using the Red Party to force him to show himself. That would be troublesome.

It was better to nip it in the bud.

Apart from Shi Bingdao, he was not prepared to meet any other Red Party members.

Whether the traitor in Hangzhou had been found was still unknown.

The plundering continued.

All the remaining weapons and ammunition, as well as money, were plundered.

Gold bars, US dollars, British pounds, whatever, Zhang Yong swallowed it all. He also swallowed some of the banknotes. But he didn't want any coins.

Suddenly, the map prompted that a large group of white dots was approaching.

Since the other party was unarmed, Zhang Yong didn't mind. He thought it was students from somewhere out on a campaign.

There were so many white dots, estimated to be a hundred or so people. Apart from students, what else could they be?

'What are you doing?'

'What are you doing?'

Suddenly, there was shouting outside.

Zhang Yong couldn't help but become curious.

Someone's barging in?

Haha. Aren't they afraid of getting shot?

It seems like there are people guarding the outside. They're not nice people...

In the end...

No gunshots were heard.

Instead, a dark crowd surged in.

Zhang Yong: ???

What's going on?

Why is someone barging in?

It seems like they don't have any weapons. They're all unarmed.

The only thing that stands out is that there are a lot of people.

There must be hundreds of them!

He happened to be standing on the steps, looking down from a high vantage point, and the crowd was full of heads.

They were dressed in all kinds of ways. But they weren't in bad shape. None of them were missing limbs.

He immediately reacted.

They were the densely packed white dots on the map. He never imagined that they were coming for him.

He turned to look at Shi Bingdao.

Shi Bingdao's expression was very strange. Helpless. Sighing.

Zhang Yong knew that these people were definitely involved with the Red Party. Otherwise, Shi Bingdao would not have that expression on his face.

Perhaps, like himself, these people did not meet the conditions to join the Red Party.

Hey, hey, hey, so to speak, we are like-minded.

No need to join the Red Party.

Follow me!

Kill the devils together!

My problem is that I cannot change it. But you can.

If you can get rid of your own problems, you will still have a chance to join the Red Party in the future. You can easily get 10 years' seniority.

It's not yet 1937, and the all-out war against Japan has not yet begun. According to the rumours, you guys joined the army during the period of resistance against Japan. If you perform very well, you will still have a chance to get a gold star on your shoulder straps in the future. Although it is very difficult. It's not completely impossible.

'What kind of people are they?'

'It's hard to say...'

'Okay, I'll talk to them.'

Zhang Yong went straight to the men. He sized them up.

He needed a lot of people right now. He was still trying to figure out where to find them. But there were over a hundred of them, all in black.

It was perfect.

No matter who they were.

As long as they were willing to kill devils, he could accept them.

'Are you Zhang Yong?'

a bald man asked hopefully.

His body was a little yellow. His eyes were yellow too. Maybe he was sick?

Looking at the others, he suddenly noticed that it seemed like everyone's body was a little yellowish? It didn't look very healthy.

Then Zhang Yong noticed another problem.

It was...

Most of these 100-odd people were bald.

If there was one or two bald people, that wouldn't be strange. But there were almost 100 bald people, almost all of them. Then...

You're not programmers. How did you manage to gather so many bald people?

Doubts. Who the hell were these guys?

They couldn't be monks...

'Yes, I'm Zhang Yong.'

'I heard you're looking for recruits?'

'That's right.'

'We want to work for you.'

'Okay.'

'It's settled then.'

'Wait.'

Zhang Yong reached out and pressed a button.

Let's get this straight. We need to get this straight.

Work for me. No problem. But don't run away in the middle of the job. Or sell me out.

You can't trust people.

These days, anything can happen.

Brothers who used to argue over wine may stab you in the back. They will take your head and claim the credit.

'What are your terms?'

'No. I want you all to write your wills in advance.'

'Why?'

'Because I'm dealing with the Japanese invaders. They are very cruel and dangerous. You could lose your lives at any time.'

'Aren't you going to give us guns?'

'The Japanese invaders also have guns. They are better shots than you.'

'Who says so?'

'Who says so?'

Several people suddenly shouted.

It was clear that they strongly disagreed with Zhang Yong's words. They were also angry.

Zhang Yong didn't say a word. He remained silent.

What I said is all true. If you don't believe me, I don't bother to defend myself.

If the Japanese were that easy to deal with, do you think we would have needed 14 years of resistance? In fact, if we were to fight independently, 14 years would be far from enough...

The crowd gradually quieted down.

'We are not afraid of death,' the bald man said in a deep voice.

'Everyone can say they're not afraid,' Zhang Yong shook his head, 'but if it really comes to a fight...'

'Are you looking down on us?'

'I'll give you a one-month trial period.'

'What do you mean?'

'You'll follow me for a month and I'll see how you perform. If you do well, you can continue to follow me in the future. If you don't do well, I'm sorry, but please find another job.'

'Good! Let's do it!'

The bald man was very happy.

Obviously, he knew Zhang Yong's situation quite well.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to make such an important decision in such a short period of time.

Zhang Yong turned his head and looked at Shi Bingdao.

He knew that Shi Bingdao must have had a hand in this.

However, since Shi Bingdao didn't say anything, he didn't pursue the matter. It didn't matter anyway. As long as they could kill the Japanese invaders, that was fine.

So they began to divide into teams.

They divided the more than 100 people into eight small teams.

Each team had a dozen people. They elected a team leader.

Then five veterans from the 19th Route Army formed a squad. Another squad was formed from the temporary recruits from the coffin shop.

Each elected their own squad leader.

On paper, Zhang Yong now had more than 100 people.

There were ten squads.

However...

They were all a motley bunch!

I guess everyone is just like me, with no professional training.

Those former police academy students had at least studied for a few months.

Before, they had mocked the Japanese spies for being worse and worse. Now, the people they were leading were also worse and worse.

Alas, this is really bad...

'Say it again. I am Zhang Yong. I am your team leader.'

'From now on, you are members of my action team. All you need to do is follow orders.'

Zhang Yong gave a brief description.

He felt very strange himself. What kind of team members are these.

If outsiders saw them, they would really be the laughing stock. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

'Follow us, and I guarantee you'll have meat to eat...'

'We don't eat meat!'

'What?'

Zhang Yong was taken aback.

What's going on? No meat?

Who said that? Step forward. That would be a saving.

These days, if you want to eat meat every meal, I have to work hard to earn money. If you don't eat...

Wait...

No meat at all?

Why? Are you all monks?

Oh...

Bald...

Monks...

He turned his head to look at Shi Bingdao.

As a result, Shi Bingdao deliberately avoided him with a guilty conscience.

Zhang Yong: ...

No wonder Shi Bingdao looked strange.

Joining a red organization requires belief in Marxism-Leninism. Obviously, this conflicts with belief in the Buddha.

Fine. I'll be a monk.

I, Zhang Yong, am a liberal.

I want anyone who has the courage to kill the Japanese invaders.

Besides, it saves money on buying meat!

"You don't eat meat?'

'We don't eat meat!'

'If you don't eat meat, how will you have the strength to kill the devils?'

'We eat! We eat noodles! We eat buns!'

'Fine...'

Zhang Yong answered strangely.

It's best if this doesn't get out. Otherwise, people might laugh.

Look at Zhang Yong, he's really fallen on hard times. He's even brought a bunch of monks with him. What else is he going to do? Balabala Little Demon Fairy...

Curiously, she asked the names of a few people. OK. They all have the same name.

All of them have the character for sea in their names. So. Add a surname to the front, and that's their name.

Zhang Hai, Wang Hai, Li Hai, Zhao Hai...

The leader is Zhao Hai.

Zhang Yong: ...

I don't know what to say.

My team is really strange.

Well, it just so happens to form the so-called secret investigation team. Almost none of the members have real names. Is that secret enough?

Other people have to temporarily come up with a code name in order to keep it secret. I've even saved that step. It's a one-step solution.

Cut the crap. Get to work!

Since you're following me, Zhang Yong, you're not going to be able to avoid the hard labour.

Go find a new hiding place.

Bury it under the tree in the backyard.

The Huo mechanism is really a Huo mechanism. Everything is hidden underground. It makes Zhang Yong the perfect earth-digging party.

Fortunately, there is a 'sea' behind him, although he doesn't eat meat. But he does have strength. He also wants to do a good job.

Dig!

Dig with all your might.

Soon, he finds sacks underground.

Pull out the first sack. Unwrap it. It's full of Huo mechanisms.

They were Chinese copies of the MP18 submachine gun. They looked so familiar. They used the same bullets as the machine guns. There were five in total.

They had been thrown into the sack indiscriminately, so they were in a terrible mess. Many of the magazines had been slightly deformed from the pressure. Fortunately, this did not affect their use. But the outside of the guns and magazines were covered in rust. The sack was not waterproof, so rust was inevitable. Chinese steel was not of such good quality.

The second sack was pulled out.

It was untied. Inside, there were also five mechanisms. Also five. Also covered in rust.

The third sack...

It was full of ocean.

After it was untied, it poured out with a crash.

Ino-san's face suddenly changed again. In a rage, he turned around. He punched and kicked Nogaya.

So much ocean!

You'd rather bury it underground!

You're only giving me two each month!

Only two!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

He had no choice but to shut up angrily.

Keep digging!

Another sack was unearthed.

It also contained five machine guns...

The fifth sack...

It wasn't a machine gun. It was a submachine gun. There were twenty of them. They were also covered in rust.

There were no more.

There was never going to be a second sack full of big money.

'Damn...'

Zhang Yong lamented inwardly.

These Japanese spies really wasted resources!

So many machine guns, so many pistols. Just buried in the ground.

You should have found a drier place to store them!

These are weapons and equipment!

But when you think about the resources of the Japanese spies, you can let go.

The Japanese spies never lacked weapons.

They could produce their own weapons.

They also seized so many weapons from the Northeast Army.

The Northeast Army had so many weapons and ammunition depots, and they were all given to the Japanese.

There were tens of thousands of pistols and machine guns.

There were also arms factories, steel plants, power plants...

The Japanese took them over and were able to put them into production directly.

Alas...

It's all so sad...

I really want to go and beat Noboru Noguchi up again.

As a result, I now have to use these rusty weapons. It's even worse than being a beggar.

If they don't fire or blow up...

Firearms.

Distribute all the weapons that have been dug up to the next piece of 'sea'.

Hand them over to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai is responsible for distributing them further. Each squad has some. But there aren't enough for each squad. They will have to continue to be replenished in the future.

Continue digging.

Finally, bullets are unearthed.

Fortunately, the Japanese spies, those bastards, know how to pack bullets in earthenware jars.

It's one of those big earthenware jars. Very big. The mouth of the jar is sealed. It won't leak. Otherwise, all the bullets will be wasted.

Open the jar. It's full of loose bullets. 7.63mm pistol cartridges.

This kind of cartridge can be used in a pistol. A machine gun can also be used.

So they were immediately distributed.

Everyone stuffed themselves. Take as many as you can.

Although the number of weapons was not large, there were enough cartridges. There were ten jars full.

Zhang Yong handed Shi Bingdao a pistol.

Shi Bingdao shook his head.

He couldn't use a gun.

He has never used one before.

So Zhang Yong took back the revolver.

Fine, don't pull it.

Next.

This time it wasn't inside the pawnshop. It was in the next building, not far away.

The guys from the Kuaiji Agency are all very cunning. There are weapons inside the pawnshop. There are also weapons in the nearby houses. There are also weapons in the safe houses further away.

Cunning rabbits have three dens.

Yeyang Tsuchimikado was actually very confident in himself.

Even if someone surrounded him, he could evacuate in time. Then he would go to a nearby place to get weapons. Then he would slip away.

He had set up many safe houses. Ensuring his own safety.

'Tunnel!'

'Tunnel!'

Following Zhang Yong's instructions, Zhao Hai and the others continued digging.

They found an entrance to a tunnel at the corner of the backyard. If Yegu found that the situation was not right, he could retreat immediately from here.

By the time the people searching for him found the tunnel, Yegu Tusanbao had already run far away.

Unfortunately, Tsuchimaru Nogaya never got the chance to use the tunnel. He was caught just outside the door.

'Go down and take a look.'

'Okay!'

Zhao Hai immediately led the men in.

They all held their shotguns. Just in case.

Soon, someone dragged a sack out of the tunnel. It was bulging. No one knew what it was.

Tsuchimaru Nogaya tried to speak, but Zhang Yong blocked him again.

'This is what I found. It's not included in the 100,000 taels. Unless you confess first.'

He untied the sack.

It immediately floated in the air.

Inside were actually heavy taels of silver.

Because they had not been stored properly, the surface was not as shiny as silver.

However, it was 100% guaranteed that they were all high-quality Eagle dollars. Not Yuan Datou. They were Eagle dollars that had flowed in from overseas. The purity was higher than Yuan Datou.

How many are there in a full sack? I'd say about 3,000.

'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Otherwise, Tsuchiya Tōzaburō really might get killed.

Zhang Yong suddenly had a thought, and came to the front of Jin Sanyan. He looked coldly at the pirate leader.

Jin Sanyan kept lowering his eyebrows and looking down, pretending to be obedient. When he noticed Zhang Yong coming at him, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Damn it...

I might be in trouble.

What is Zhang Yong going to do?

Jin Sanyan shuddered as he watched the contents of Tsuchiya Tōzaburō's home being cleared out little by little.

It seemed that there was no wealth, no weapons or ammunition that could escape Zhang Yong's eyes. No matter how deep it was buried, no one could hide from him. He would dig it up.

I can't figure it out...

What kind of strange abilities does this guy Zhang Yong have?

Why can he find everything buried underground? Can his eyes see through the ground?

So scary...

So strange...

It's as if his opponent can see all of his thoughts clearly. He was terrified. He was scared. His hair stood on end.

'Are you from the Huaiji Organ too?'

'I...'

'The Huaiji Organ is so rich, you must have a lot of money too!'

'I'm not from the Huaiji Organ.'

'When are you taking me to Chongming Island, so I can loot it myself?'

'Don't...'

Jin San Yan responded weakly.

He didn't dare to look at Zhang Yong's face. This guy was completely evil!

Before, he thought that Zhang Yong had a small group of people, only a dozen or so, and there was a chance to turn the tables. But now, with more than a hundred people, it was hopeless.

'You said that if I gave you 100,000 taels of silver, you would let me go.'

'Yes. Did you give it?'

'I will give it now.'

Jin Sanyan finally made up his mind.

No, he couldn't hold out any longer. If he continued to hold out, he would die even faster.

You see, Noguchi Saburo just held out and didn't say anything. As a result, the treasure was gradually dug up. There was no way to hide it.

By that time, if Noguchi couldn't gather 100,000 taels of silver, he would have no chance of survival.

Having learned his lesson, Jin Sanyan dared not make the same mistake again.

'Speak.'

'Take notes. I'll give you the address. And the extraction method.'

'Good!'

Zhang Yong took out paper and pen.

He wrote down everything Jin Sanyan said. He double-checked.

He asked Jin Sanyan questions again and again. He was sure there were no contradictions.

It should be true.

Jin Sanyan didn't want to die. He didn't dare lie.

'Good. Once I get what I want, you can go back.'

'You have to keep your word.'

'Of course. I still want to go to Chongming Island.'

'You said...'

'I said I'd let you go. But I didn't say I wouldn't go to Chongming Island.'

'Ah...'

Jin Sanyan was speechless.

This Zhang Yong is really a son of a bitch.

However, he also couldn't say that Zhang Yong didn't keep his word. These are two separate things.

Let him go back. And go to Chongming Island with Zhang Yong. There is no conflict at all. Zhang Yong wants to go to Chongming Island, and there is nothing he can do to stop him.

What should he do?

What if Zhang Yong really comes to Chongming Island?

What else can he do?

He has to run away!

After going back, he will immediately transfer all his wealth and goods. He must not stay on Chongming Island.

When Zhang Yong goes to Chongming Island, it will be empty. There will be nothing there.

Not to mention the ocean, he won't even leave a single coin behind.

Yes!

That's it!

Move everything immediately!

Move everything, and leave nothing behind!

Let Zhang Yong come up empty-handed.

'Team leader!'

'Team leader!'

Suddenly, Wang Hai hurried over.

He reported that a sack had been pulled out of the tunnel. Inside was a corpse. It was wearing a Kuomintang military uniform.

'What?'

Zhang Yong was stunned.

He hurried over to take a look.

Sure enough, there was a Kuomintang army corpse in the sack.

Judging from the rank, it was a captain.

He immediately turned his head and stared at Noguchi Tuzaburo. Just then, he saw Noguchi Tuzaburo close his eyes.

Okay, I get it.

This guy definitely doesn't stand a chance.

He assassinated a Kuomintang army soldier.

He immediately thought of the garrison headquarters...

The person Zhou Yang is looking for may be in the tunnel...
