Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3052 Rescuing the Shadow, Cobra's Choice!
Upon hearing Duanwu's order, the Japanese agent immediately turned fierce and yelled at Li Ru and another nurse, "You two, didn't you hear what your superior said? Get out of here right now!"

Li Ru was worried about Yingzi's safety, but dared not disobey orders, so he could only pretend to obey and slowly lead the nurse out of the ward.

However, as soon as he stepped out, he quickly walked to the office next door, closed the door, and swiftly took out a hearing aid from the drawer, stuck it on the wall, and eavesdropped on the sounds from next door.

Meanwhile, in the intensive care unit, only Duanwu and three other Japanese spies remained.

The agent who brought Duanwu into ward 302 had a fawning smile on his face and bowed as he said, "Sir, now we only have our own people left. Please speak freely!"

Duanwu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.

Suddenly, his hand moved, and a sharp palm strike slammed into the throat of a spy near his right.

With a crisp "crack," the spy's throat bone shattered instantly.

The Japanese soldier's eyes widened, his hands covered his throat, his mouth gaped open, but he couldn't make a sound, and he slowly fell to the ground.

The other two Japanese spies were stunned by this sudden turn of events. Their eyes widened, and their faces were full of shock.

But before they could react, Duanwu had already drawn his bayonet with lightning speed and stabbed it into the heart of another Japanese soldier.

The Japanese soldier felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a dagger deeply embedded in his body, and a large amount of blood gushed out like a fountain.

He tried to struggle and call for help, but he had no strength left, and his body slowly collapsed.

The last Japanese spy finally came to his senses. He tried to scream in terror, but before he knew it, a large hand, like an iron clamp, had gripped his neck.

The Japanese spy struggled desperately, his hands flailing wildly in the air and his legs kicking incessantly, but all of this was in vain.

With a snap, Duanwu twisted the other person's neck, breaking it and leaving the head drooping limply.

At this moment, only the Japanese soldier with his throat bone shattered remained lying on the ground, struggling in agony.

His body was convulsing uncontrollably, his hands were scratching wildly at the ground, and he was making "woo-woo" sounds, as if he was calling for help.

Duanwu gave him a cold look and kicked him in the temple. The Japanese spy jolted violently, then lay still.

And all of this was accomplished in just two breaths.

Duanwu's movements were clean and efficient, without any hesitation or slackness, and only made a slight sound.

After killing the person, Duanwu looked around and saw that the shadow on the hospital bed next to him had already opened its eyes.

Duanwu was startled because the Japanese soldier had clearly said that Yingzi was still unconscious. He actually believed him.

The moment Yingzi saw the Dragon Boat Festival, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

She didn't cry even when the Japanese soldiers broke her arms and legs, but now, seeing Duanwu, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

Duanwu quickly went over, patted the other person's head and said, "It's all over now. I'm here to save you."

In fact, Duanwu had a lot to say to Yingzi. He wanted to know where Yingzi had gone and how she had been captured by the Japanese.

But he didn't have time to say any of that, because next, they were going to escape from Songyuan City, which was going to be a crazy process.

Because Duanwu killed someone at the hospital and then left with Shadow, even though Duanwu was highly skilled, it was inevitable that the Japanese would see him.

By then, the Japanese soldiers inside the city only needed to make a phone call to any of the four city gates, and he and Shadow would be unable to leave. Therefore, at this point, he could only race against time with the Japanese soldiers.

Thinking of this, Duanwu didn't say anything more, picked up Yingzi and was about to leave.

Although Shadow knew this was wrong, she bit off her tongue and couldn't make a complete sound.

Moreover, she felt that this would distract Duanwu, so she let Duanwu hug her.

However, the two of them were stopped by Li Ru as soon as they reached the door.

Duanwu narrowed his eyes slightly, because if the other party dared to obstruct his rescue, he would kill them even if they were Chinese.

But unexpectedly, Li Ru spoke first: "You must be Comrade Duanwu? We've met before. I'm 'Cobra.' I have a way to buy you some more time."

Duanwu nodded, because the word "cobra" made him trustworthy.

Li Ru immediately revealed his plan: "There are two more spies under the back window. I will take care of them in a moment. You guys tie the bed sheets and curtains into a rope and then go downstairs along the rope."

There's a Japanese hearse near the back gate of the hospital; I secretly made a copy of the key. You guys drive it out of town. That way, you'll have a better chance of success!

Duanwu retorted, "What about you? Come with us! If Shadow is rescued, the Japanese will definitely suspect you."

Li Ru thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "I must stay here and buy you time."

At this point, Li Ru smiled and said, "If I am really exposed, please don't come to rescue me, Captain Duanwu. Because it must be fake news."

Duanwu's eyes instantly welled up with tears, because he understood the meaning behind Li Ru's words. If Li Ru were exposed, he would definitely not be captured alive by the Japanese.

But he wasn't being sentimental during the Dragon Boat Festival, because he genuinely didn't have the time to delay any longer. Besides, he wasn't the type to fuss over nothing.

Li Ru took a scalpel from his sleeve, but after thinking for a moment, he put it back. Instead, he pulled the bayonet out of the Japanese soldier's chest.

He strode out of the intensive care unit, while Duanwu locked the door from the inside. He then moved one of the Japanese soldiers' corpses onto the bed, covered it with a blanket, and disguised it as a shadow.

He stuffed the remaining two Japanese soldiers into an iron cabinet next to him.

He then tore down the curtains and began making ropes.

However, his action of pulling at the curtains attracted the attention of two Japanese soldiers at the back window downstairs.

Light was letting in as the curtains were drawn back. The two Japanese soldiers looked up at the third floor, wondering who had drawn the curtains.

One of the Japanese agents was about to say, "You stay here, I'll go up and take a look."

Before he could even finish speaking, he felt a chill on his neck; his throat had been slit.

He reached out to grab another Japanese soldier, but instead saw an arm wrap around his colleague from behind, and then a knife was plunged into his heart.

The Japanese agent was utterly desperate. Although he had seen the murderer's face, he would never have the chance to report it.

Just then, the window on the third floor opened, and a head popped out – it was Duanwu.

Li Ru waved to Duanwu on the third floor, and Duanwu immediately jumped down, holding onto Yingzi with one hand and grabbing the rope with the other!
