Chapter 126 Bacteria! The Hunt!

Chen Zhan thought for a moment and decided not to give chase. After a five-minute fight, he killed two men, and the main force of the Japanese troops was almost there.

The shouts continued.

Chen Zhan dealt with the erratic Yamada Shige and rushed over, only to find that the Japanese soldiers had been completely wiped out.

Song Jingang and his men stared blankly at the things wrapped in black cloth for a long time, at a loss for what to do.

It took him a while to remember to call Chen Zhan.

Chen Zhan walked over and, with a "rip," tore open the black plastic sheet covering the package.

The carriage is clearly visible.

Instantly, goosebumps rose all over my body, and the hairs on my body stood on end.

It's unbelievable!

The train carriages were filled with corpses, not human corpses, but animal corpses.
One train carriage, a dozen or so iron cages, all filled with corpses.

The cages contained mostly rats, with smaller numbers of cattle, horses, camels, pigs, sheep, dogs, chickens, and monkeys. They were piled together, and a lot of white powder was sprinkled around the cages to prevent the smell from spreading too much. However, some of the animals had already begun to show signs of decay.

"Go and open up all the other carriages!"

Song Jingang snapped out of his daze and ordered his men to tear off the black plastic sheeting from all four carriages. Three of the four carriages, like this one, contained animal carcasses, not much of them rotten. This was in winter; in summer, they would have been filled with the stench of mosquitoes.

This kind of thing can only be transported in winter!

The last carriage contained various containers: needles, glass petri dishes, fermentation tanks, some formaldehyde, and instruments and objects whose functions were unclear.

Chen Zhan felt a chill run down his spine and was horrified.

They also fully understood what it was: it was the raw material for bacterial extraction. The Japanese had begun preparing for bacteriological warfare from this point on!
Bacteria were extracted from various animal carcasses and then deployed to the anti-Japanese forces and base areas.

This kind of twisted idea could only have come up with by the Japanese; throughout World War I and World War II, only the Japanese dared to use this method of warfare.

"Burn! Burn it!!~"

Chen Zhan reacted almost immediately, knowing that time was of the essence, and roared out those words.

Go find flammable materials immediately.

But they couldn't find oil for the time being, so Song Jingang sent people to look for it. They finally found two barrels of oil and a few hand grenades.

"Give me the grenades, pour the oil, you only have a few minutes," Chen Zhan roared.

He regretted not leaving some explosives.

He was also a little worried about Ye Ningzhen, who had just fired a few shots and hadn't made a sound for a long time.

Soon everyone had poured the oil, and Song Jingang asked, "Brother Yunfei, how is it now?"

Chen Zhan nodded and said, "You guys go first, don't worry about me."

At this moment, the sound of a large army marching could be heard. Knowing that time was of the essence, Song Jingang did not stand on ceremony any longer.

"Our village is in Wuyang Mountain. If you need anything in the future, it's our business. Just let us know."

"Brothers, let's go!"

Leading several dozen men, they slipped into the shadows.

Chen Zhan pulled out the grenade, lit the gasoline, and disappeared into the night.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two explosions, accompanied by flashes of light, were nothing compared to the previous explosions.

Chen Zhan felt uneasy, as hearing about things and seeing them with one's own eyes are completely different.

Even if this fails, the Japanese won't give up; they'll only become more reckless.

Heading towards the agreed-upon hiding place, Ye Ningzhen should theoretically be safe. Shooting from the shadows is the safest option; this isn't a myth, where one can search for an enemy from afar and kill with a flying sword.

They drove through the fog, which did not impair Chen Zhan's vision at night.

With all five senses activated, we arrived at a small earthen slope, where we could see a train in the distance, about five or six hundred meters away.

After searching for a while, he soon smelled gunpowder. Several shots were fired, and the smell of gunpowder in the air had mostly dissipated, but his sense of smell was too keen. After searching for a while, he found several spent cartridge cases.

"Ok?"

Chen Zhan smelled a trace of blood again.

After walking a few more steps, a bloodstain in the hay had already frozen dry. Following the direction of the bloodstain, Chen Zhan quickly ran towards it.

Once they were off the earthen slope, the bloodstains disappeared. Chen Zhan's eyes scanned the surroundings. The two had agreed on many hand signals, so if they encountered danger, Ye Ningzhen would definitely leave a mark for him unless she died quickly.

After searching for a while, they found some gunpowder residue next to the withered grass.

Heading north, Chen Zhan ran wildly, stopping every few hundred meters to check. The gunpowder was plentiful, but dwindling, with occasional drops of blood.

This direction is opposite to the other side of the stream.

Ye Ningzhen is in trouble, but she can't go to Sister Hua and the others; they can't solve the problem and would only become a burden.

Chen Zhan could only speculate in this way.

They followed the trail for seven or eight miles, passing through a pine forest, still searching for signs of gunpowder.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, coming from the direction they were searching.

The Northeast region is mountainous and forested. Beyond the forests lie mountains, deep and rugged, with many rocks and trees, but this does not affect Chen Zhan's speed at all.

They leaped up the mountain forest like nimble monkeys and tigers.

At this moment, the sky was faintly lit, the dawn was breaking, and wisps of light were already shining into the mountains.

Chen Zhan glanced around and immediately recognized the source of the gunshot.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three shots were fired in quick succession. Chen Zhan saw a man roll down from a crevice in the rocks. He was wearing a Japanese military uniform, but it was different from that of an ordinary Japanese soldier.

Their clothing was dark in color, and their equipment was excellent.

Chen Zhan's ears twitched, and his gaze swept in all directions. In an instant, he found seven people, and counting the one who had just died, there were eight.

But they didn't find Ye Ningzhen.

It was clearly Ye Ningzhen who had just fired the shot. Firing three shots and then quickly changing positions was her habit and the safest way.

But Chen Zhan had just rushed up the mountain and was in a hurry, so he did not hide himself and was discovered as soon as he darted out.

Gunmen from all four directions aimed their weapons at him instantly and fired without hesitation.

Four shots were fired, targeting Chen Zhan's head, chest, neck, and waist—four vital points.

Chen Zhan was naturally not completely unprepared, but he was still startled. His ears twitched slightly, like butterfly wings, taking in all the noise.

At the same time, his divine sense suddenly reached its peak, and a strong sense of danger arose from the depths of his heart.

He rolled away, dodging the line of fire, and entered the line of sight of the other three.

These seven men were well-trained, had different roles, and were incredibly skilled marksmen who hardly needed to aim.

But this time only two people fired their guns. One of them was distracted by Chen Zhan and was immediately shot in the head.

Ye Ningzhen lurked in the shadows, like a venomous snake, ready to bare her fangs at any opportunity.

From a distance, she is a greater threat than Chen Zhan.

With only two people firing, it was even less likely that they would hit Chen Zhan. There were many pine trees and strange rocks in the mountains, providing plenty of hiding places. He wasn't carrying a gun; he hadn't replaced it after running out of bullets.

But now that the approximate locations of the remaining six people are roughly known, Ye Ningzhen must have seen him as well, but she cannot reveal her location by speaking.

With these precautions in place, Chen Zhan felt much more confident, and he immediately visualized the approximate locations of the six people in all directions.

With my hearing fully alert, I heard a faint sound: someone turning around, their clothes brushing against the stone.

"Whoosh!"

The masked Chen Zhan moved swiftly, his figure spinning rapidly in the blink of an eye. The Japanese soldiers realized the danger, but before they could raise their guns, Chen Zhan was already three zhang in front of them.

In a flash, it disappeared again.

The Japanese soldier tried to raise his gun to shoot, but he was too weak. A pine branch was stuck in his throat, and he went silent after two snorts.

The rifle slipped from his hand and fell off the rock with a crisp sound.

This attracted someone's attention. After glancing at him, Chen Zhan dodged to his side, his neck snapping around in one turn, unable to turn back.

The figure flickered in the mountains. The remaining four fired a few more shots, but they couldn't aim at all. Chen Zhan didn't stop. He was too fast, and his movement was erratic, like sparks flying everywhere.

Ye Ningzhen struck again, killing the two men.

Only two remained, and they cleverly changed positions, completely hiding themselves and remaining motionless.

Staying still is indeed the safest option.

They didn't move, and Chen Zhan finally found Ye Ningzhen's location, leaping over her several times to get to her side.

She was shot in the waist; the rifle had a large caliber, so the injury was quite serious.

The two did not speak, but they understood each other's meaning with a glance.

Chen Zhan tore off a piece of black cloth and wrapped it around Ye Ningzhen's waist. He pressed a few acupoints to stop the bleeding. The wound was too large to stop it completely, but he could slow down the bleeding. Moreover, Ye Ningzhen was able to control her muscles and preserve her blood and qi as much as possible.

She was shot in the waist, ran eight or nine miles, killing several Japanese soldiers along the way. She is still perfectly conscious and her fighting ability has been reduced by less than half.

This is the physique of a master of internal strength. If it were just a spear expert, he would have lost blood and strength long ago.

At this moment, the mountains and forests fell completely silent.

Chen Zhan moved extremely fast, darting through the woods. His opponents, having learned their lesson, didn't fire but instead hid, preventing Chen Zhan from noticing anything amiss.

Ye Ningzhen's eyes were anxious, her meaning clear: she wanted to leave! Chen Zhan understood from her eyes.

There are probably still pursuers!

However, although Ye Ningzhen can move now, it is obviously not good for long-distance travel. Once she goes down the mountain, it is flat ground, and it will be difficult to move if there are pursuers.

Chen Zhan hesitated for only a moment before moving swiftly through the mountains. At the same time, he focused his mind to the extreme, with nothing on his mind. When he got within a hundred meters, his breathing and heartbeat could be heard.

No matter how well the opponent hides, they cannot escape when they get close.

The two Japanese soldiers, who dared not move in the corner, noticed Chen Zhan getting closer and closer. Just as they were about to get up and fire, he disappeared.

The next moment, "Boom!" The forest trembled, birds and beasts flew away, and a ten-meter-tall pine tree was broken by a punch and fell directly towards the place where the two were hiding.

Two Japanese soldiers darted out from the left and right, and gunshots rang out at the same time. Chen Zhan followed one of them and killed him with a single punch.

The other one was shot dead by Ye Ningzhen.

Ye Ningzhen breathed a sigh of relief, got up and quickly walked towards Chen Zhan, "Hurry, they sent a signal when they were chasing me."

Chen Zhan gestured for her to be quiet. He listened intently, his brow trembling. A centipede fell on Chen Zhan, and as if pricked by a needle, he instantly stiffened and rolled off his shoulder.

But that wasn't what Chen Zhan cared about. Suddenly, a faint sound reached his ears.

The birds and beasts in the forest began to stir, as if some great crisis was about to befall them.

The light shone down through the trees.

Chen Zhan sensed an inexplicable crisis. A sudden realization struck him: the sense of danger was like that of a drowning person on the verge of sinking to the bottom, struggling violently with their life hanging by a thread, and the fear of death causing a surge of adrenaline.

In layman's terms, it's like suddenly feeling a numbness in your body, a jolt in your heart, and your whole body trembling!
He turned around, reached out, and wrapped his arms around Ye Ningzhen's slender waist, but at this moment he had no evil thoughts whatsoever.

There was only one word: 'Escape!'
