Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 427: Chaos in the City (Part )

December 7, 1937.

This was the seventh day that the Japanese invaders' Central China Front Army attacked the city of Nanjing.

The outer front outside the city was in danger and could collapse at any time.

Wounded and disabled soldiers were constantly withdrawn from outside the city. Their morale was low and they no longer wanted to fight.

The people in the city were in a panic, with looting, smashing and burning happening everywhere. Some people also went to the Xiaguan Wharf, hoping to cross the river before the city was broken.

The last batch of government officials who remained in the city and the illegal businessmen were eager to see the world in chaos, so they tried to make a final profit in the last few days before the city fell.

They all received the news that the highest military commander of the national government would visit the mausoleum today and flee by plane tomorrow. There was no need for them, who were birds of the same feather, to throw their lives away here for the last few pieces of money in the hands of the people.

The only good news in this chaos and endless bad news was that because there was a heroic unit called Wang Yi in the city, the Japanese army outside the city, which had suffered losses at Wang Yi's hands, did not rashly launch an air strike by a fleet of aircraft.

They knew very well that this kind of air strike was just icing on the cake in the current environment of a large army besieging the city. There was no need to waste the Empire's planes and pilots on a city with single-person air defense strike capabilities.

Basically, what they did every day was to hover over it at low altitude and drop a bunch of threatening leaflets.

The meaning is probably "surrender and save life" or exaggerating the results of the siege outside.

Cooperating with traitors and spies in the city, they constantly put pressure on the people and defenders in the city and deliberately created chaos.

The method is despicable and crude, but it is indeed effective at this time.

On this day, Wang Yi was still at the dock, maintaining the last bit of peace at Xiaguan Dock, the last life channel out of the city.

Through the information he bought from the National Government, he also confirmed that today, Baldy would lead a group of National Government officers and officials to Zhongshan Gate to pay homage to the mausoleum, and make a speech via the radio to reassure the soldiers and civilians in the city.

"Humph! You hypocritical, two-faced scum!"

Upon hearing the news, the captain, who had to evacuate the city early to cooperate with Zhang Zhiwei and a group of senior sorcerers in Jiangbei to set up the Eight Diagrams, was extremely angry.

"Don't get angry over such a small matter at this time. If he could put his knowledge into practice, the situation wouldn't be so bad today. Is everyone watching him?"

Wang Yi advised the captain of the ship and could understand his feelings. After all, if the bald man had not stabbed him in the back and launched white terror more than ten years ago, the captain would not have fallen into the current situation.

His own people didn't trust him, and his wife almost died of illness. He was completely desperate and became self-destructive. Finally, he died on the road to the Northern Expedition in the original time and space.

If Wang Yi hadn't made arrangements early on, sent two experts to protect him, and also tricked Zhang Zhiwei into being by his side, this star of generalship that should have been so bright would have been gone long ago.

The captain also knew that it was useless to get angry and curse. When he heard Wang Yi's question, he replied, "He's got it on his radar, but you really don't want my people to take control first?"

"No, these guys who sneaked in are all skilled in martial arts. Three or five people can't control them. Although the disciples of Trinity are no problem, they will make too much noise when they fight. We have finally managed to stabilize this dock. If gunshots and fighting start, there will be chaos again. I can do it alone."

"The Japanese know your abilities, so why do you still do this kind of meaningless thing?"

"They have a big advantage. It's the same for me. I'll try my best to get the best deal. All right, you stay here and I'll clear out the rats hiding in the dock first. I'm very busy today."

After saying that, Wang calculated that it was about time, stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and walked towards the crowded crowd in the dock under the gaze of the captain. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the captain's sight.

Seeing that Wang Yi was nowhere to be seen, the captain turned his gaze to the spies he had arranged in the crowd to keep an eye on the few spies who had long been identified as refugees disguised as fleeing the city. As an ordinary person, he really wanted to see how Wang Yi handled the situation from a passerby's perspective.

It's not like he hasn't seen fights between extraordinary people. The adjutant Zhang Yi and the guard Ma Feng that Wang Yi sent to his side were both masters of external martial arts.

However, the kung fu practiced by this pair of brothers was very vigorous and open, and they were indeed good at charging into battle in the era of cold weapons. But in the era of hot weapons, their ability to fight with others was not as important as their ability to lead troops in battle, and they rarely had close combat.

Otherwise, Zhang Yi would not have been able to become his adjutant during the Northern Expedition, and take over his position and command the battle when he was forced to disappear. Ma Feng, as his junior brother, was sent to the master to be responsible for his protection.

There is no way. The progress of the times has made most of the people who practice external martial arts only able to be bodyguards who guard the house or protect the important figures, but they cannot be brave generals charging into the battlefield.

As for Zhang Zhiwei, he had dealt with him before, but at that time he was forced to hide his identity and that of his wife. He had only seen Zhang Zhiwei escort him, but had never seen Zhang Zhiwei fighting with anyone.

As for the fighting between strange people, the captain still had the impression that the storytellers talked about the Three Kingdoms and the heroes of Liangshan fought with others.

Now, he just wanted to have a good look before leaving the city, so as to form a mental expectation for when he would help Zhang Zhiwei and a group of magicians to set up the Eight Diagrams.

Don't let the Eight Diagrams come out and the gods fight each other, scaring the enemy and your own people at the same time. That would be very embarrassing.

Unfortunately, the captain will be disappointed.

Wang Yi is ranked in the top 20 in the circle of extraordinary people in the whole of China, and even in the whole world. If he really wants to attack a small fry, no one will see any trace of Wang Yi's action. It's like the old man Zhang Zhiwei who was drinking tea and playing with his mobile phone in a busy city while controlling the thunder method to kill Quan Xing who was hiding among the pedestrians. No one could see Zhang Zhiwei's action at all. If people didn't know the whole story, they would never associate it with Zhang Zhiwei.

Of course, the above ranking is limited to humans. Immortals, gods, and other strange non-human combat forces are ranked separately.

So when the captain turned his attention to the nearest spy, this was all he saw.

There was no sight of Wang Yi, nor was there any unusual behavior from the spy. The spy behaved like a disheartened citizen who found there was no hope of leaving the city. He showed a disappointed and resigned expression, turned around and walked out of the dock.

This phenomenon of returning empty-handed and turning around to leave was very common in such chaotic times. No one would pay attention to why someone wanted to leave, but would just be glad that there was one less opponent competing with them to get out of the city.

When the captain saw the spy turn around and leave, he rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a ghost. After realizing that he was not mistaken, he looked at his companion who was responsible for surveillance in the crowd. The other party also gestured to indicate that he did not understand the situation either.

Then, the second, the third...
In just a short while, the hundreds of spies hiding in the crowd of people leaving the city at the dock seemed to have received orders at the same time and left the dock one after another. Before leaving, they made a gesture to the person in charge of following them, indicating that the other party should follow them.

Seeing this, the people responsible for surveillance followed him out and there was no more movement.

The dock is still the same dock, and there are still so many people scrambling to leave the city, but the captain sitting on the high platform in charge of commanding the overall situation is now empty.

No? That's it? The spy just left like that?

You are spies, where are you, Wang Yi? What have you done?

"Why? You look disappointed?"

"Quack! When did you come?!"

Wang Yi, who had just disappeared from his sight, suddenly appeared next to the captain, giving him a fright.

"That's how I got here. I went down and squeezed in with the crowds, walked around, and came back."

"People, where are people?"

"They're all watching in the warehouse. Do you want to go take a look and get some information?"

"Oh, okay, I'll go check it out."

Seeing that Wang Yi seemed to have just come back from a walk downstairs, the captain felt very confused. When he heard Wang Yi's question, he didn't think much about it and followed Wang Yi to the warehouse to check the situation.

When they arrived at the warehouse, the captain saw that the hundred or so spies who had just left the dock were all tied up together, their weapons had been stripped off, and they were as docile as quails.

"this?"

"Oh, forgot, wake up."

Wang Yi stood aside and snapped his fingers lightly. These spies, who had just been as docile as quails, suddenly woke up from their dreams and found themselves tied up and surrounded by a group of people. Then they began to swear and speak Japanese and Mandarin.

Obviously, even they didn't understand how they had ended up being the other party's prisoners.

"The art of bewitching, the art of sleight of hand, the art of beating a flower... There are many ways to describe it in the martial arts world, you can choose any one of them."

"You're treating these guys like three-year-olds, right?"

Wang Yi had no comment on the captain's evaluation. He felt that dealing with these guys by himself was just like an adult beating up a three-year-old kid, and he could do whatever he wanted.

"Do you want me to help you get some information?"

"You will interrogate?"

"It's not an interrogation. It's just a simple judgment question. If you can determine whether the other party's answer is true or false, you can roughly guess it."

Wang Yi pointed to his temple. To put it bluntly, he used the brain waves of the magnetic field martial arts as a lie detector to determine whether the other party understood the situation through the mental fluctuations of the other party when receiving this question.

Just as Wang Yi was making such a joke, some of the captured spies started laughing out loud.

"Mr. Uesugi is right. With Lord Wang Yi's methods, no matter how we plan, nothing will come of it. But Lord Wang Yi, you are not a god after all. You can easily take us down because we are Japanese and traitors, so you don't have to worry about anything. But if all the people in the city are spies, how will you deal with it?"

At this time, another enemy plane flew low overhead, and the air defense alarm sounded again in the city, but this time the air defense alarm was different from the usual ones. Instead of a long sound, it sounded three long and two short, and ended quickly.

Wang Yi could naturally understand such an obvious move. This was the opponent's signal. And the spies who had sneaked into the dock, and even those hiding near the eleven city gates in the city, could all be a trick? !

When Wang Yi was about to ask the other party what he meant by saying that all the people in the city were spies, he saw his cheeks bulging, obviously wanting to bite the cyanide hidden in his molars and commit suicide by taking poison.

In fact, it wasn't just him; all the captured spies were like this.

"wanna die?!"

Magnetic field martial arts, mind control!

Brutal and unreasonable mental fluctuations were released from Wang Yi. A simple mental shock directly caused half of the agents who were about to commit suicide by taking poison to suffer splitting headaches and lose control of their own muscles. Then they were forcibly controlled by Wang Yi's brain waves, making it impossible for them to continue their suicidal behavior.

At the same time as the sudden incident broke out, gunshots suddenly rang out outside the warehouse.

"Haha, Wang Yi, if you don't let us die, I want to see how you will deal with the people of this city!"

Seeing that he did not die, the spy chief began to taunt him with an unclear tongue.

"boom!"

At the same time, gunshots were heard outside the warehouse. Upon hearing the gunshots, Wang Yi and the captain felt something was wrong. They ordered their men to cut off the jaws of the surviving spies, and then quickly walked out of the warehouse.

Sure enough, the order at the dock that had been maintained with great difficulty had now disappeared.

A young soldier looked at the mother and son lying in front of him. He stood there in a daze and could not hear any movement from the outside world.

But compared to the psychology of this little soldier, the problem at the dock is more serious now, because looking around, the people at the dock have all turned into irrational mobs.

From Wang Yi’s modern perspective, there are only four words to describe it: zombies are out!
All the people attacked everything around them without distinguishing between friend and foe, and launched an attack on the ferry and small dinghies that were docked at the pier and set up security fences.

From time to time, people were pushed off the dock and fell into the cold river.

There were also young soldiers who were almost unable to control the situation. They took out guns from the sampan and aimed them at the gate that was crowded at the fence and was already shaking under the impact of the people.

"Don't shoot! You can't shoot! No one is allowed to shoot without my order!"

Upon seeing this scene, the captain of the ship immediately rushed to the platform, shouting loudly with a loudspeaker to stop the actions of the soldiers at the dock. At the same time, he also became the target of attack by these insane and crazy people.

A large crowd of people, like a group of zombies, rushed towards the captain as fast as they could. In the time it took him to shout, some people had already rushed in front of the captain and were about to pounce on him.

At this moment, the captain of the ship realized firsthand how powerful Wang Yi, the cultivator, was.

The distance of dozens of meters was reached in an instant, and in the blink of an eye Wang Yi appeared in front of the captain.

He put his right fingers together to form a sword and stretched it forward, then shouted at the civilians who were rushing towards the two of them.

"break!"

The invisible magnetic field of true energy brushed past, and the people who had just been like wild beasts about to tear the people in front of them into pieces suddenly rolled their eyes and fell down.

The captain of the ship patted his chest in shock, but the situation did not ease. More and more people rushed towards the platform.

"go!"

Wang Yiyi held the captain of the boat in one hand and controlled the unconscious civilians with the other, then he flew directly into the air and stopped in mid-air.

"Can you fly?"

Seeing that a group of civilians who had been diverted could not reach him no matter what, the captain of the ship finally realized what was happening and screamed in surprise.

"Why do you think the Japanese planes only dropped leaflets and no bombs these days? I made them suffer during the Battle of Songhu, and no one of them will bother with this again. Don't be so surprised, Zhang Zhiwei can fly, too."

"He can fly, too? No, what's going on now? Why did everyone go crazy out of nowhere?"

"Enchantment, hypnosis, anyway, it's this method. In addition, not everyone will go down. Close the warehouse door and send someone to guard the second-floor window."

"what?"

Before the captain could figure out the situation, he suddenly felt his vision change. He and the civilians who had just been subdued by Wang Yi were under the control of Wang Yi's force field, and they slid all the way to the door of the warehouse where the spies were held as if on a slide.

This force pushed him, the few civilians, and the people guarding the warehouse door into the warehouse. Then, the door closed, stopping the attack from the crazy people outside.

As soon as he landed, the captain hurriedly got up and ran to the second-floor window. Seeing that Wang Yi was still suspended in the air, he asked loudly.

"How can I cooperate with you!"

"I'll bring some people over here. You guys pick them up at the window and deal with this first. I'll go to the city and find the mastermind behind this."

"Not here?"

"Do you really think I'm a god?"

Not wanting to chat with the captain anymore, Wang raised his hand and slapped it downwards, striking out into the air. The gust of air immediately blew down the mindless people below.

After landing, he quickly locked onto the people in the crowd who had not been hit and lost their minds.

Magnetic field martial arts: Reverse all directions!

The majestic true Qi penetrated his body and covered the entire dock in an instant. The invisible giant hand transformed by the true Qi accurately captured those people who were locked by Wang Yi and had not lost their minds.

With a grab and a pull, they were pulled out from the crowd.

"go!"

He raised his hands and clapped his hands, and the true energy turned into a transparent pipe, transporting the people who were either injured or didn't understand what was happening through the open windows on the second floor of the warehouse.

At the same time, Wang Yi raised his empty left hand and pressed the air towards the mentally handless people in front of him.

Magnetic field martial arts·gravity field!
The magnetic field covering the entire dock suddenly changed, and the invisible gravity pressure immediately pinned all the people in the dock to the ground, unable to move.

Obviously, this method of making these people lose their minds will not temporarily improve the physical fitness of those who are hit, except for making them go crazy.

In just a short period of unrest, hundreds of people were killed or injured at the dock, which made Wang Yi very unhappy.

What made him even more upset was the occasional gunshots and riots outside the dock. Just as the spy said, all the citizens in the city had become thugs under this hypnotic technique.

Spiritual means? Then...
Wang Yi put his left hand together to form a sword and pointed it at his forehead.

Magnetic field martial arts·Brain waves·Soul-chaos bell!

A mental shock covering the entire dock was released with Wang Yi as the center. Even the captain who was picking people up at the warehouse had auditory hallucinations, as if he heard a bell, and his body froze.

Fortunately, Wang Yi controlled the power and range, and did not cause any impact on the captain and his men.

The people who were pressed to the ground by Wang Yi just now and were still roaring became silent after Wang Yi's move, and they all seemed to be asleep.

Only the messy dock in front of us reminds those who are sane what happened here.

Seeing that the situation was under control of Wang Yi, the captain walked out of the warehouse and asked, "They..."

"They just fainted. There are too many people. I can't break their tricks one by one. I can only let them sleep quietly for a while. They won't wake up for a long time. Please help keep an eye on these people. Tell someone to close the dock and don't let anyone in for the time being."

"how about you?"

"I'm going to find the person behind this who's hiding in the city and kill him!"

"Not outside the city?"

"If you want to cause chaos among so many people, the casting distance cannot be too far, and there is still a war outside the city. They are not stupid."

After saying that, Wang Yi turned into a stream of golden light and ran towards the direction where Quan Xing's group was responsible for surveillance in the city. That was the problem he had to solve first.
