Looking at the heavily fortified defensive line ahead, Shen Wang smiled.

Is there any obstacle that a single 93mm high-explosive rocket cannot overcome?

If so, let's do it again!

He picked up the rocket launcher again.

"call out--!"

"BOOM!!!"

The first rocket hit the pile of obstacles in front of the city gate with pinpoint accuracy!

The violent explosion sent sandbags, barricades, and the Japanese soldiers behind them flying into the air!

Shen Wang didn't pause at all and started loading again!

"call out--!"

"BOOM!!!"

The second rocket hit the wooden-clad iron city gate directly!

The city gate was blown to pieces.

The surrounding Japanese soldiers were also blown to pieces.

Two rockets cleared all obstacles in front of the city gate.

"Hold on tight!"

Shen Wang put down the launcher, returned to the driver's seat, and floored the accelerator!

Just step on the gas, and leave the rest to the big V8 engine.

The Mengshi assault vehicle charged straight through all obstacles, ran over the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and sped away!

Inside the car, Ding Zhijian, Meng Guanglin, and Sha Zhenjiang stared at the receding city walls of Beiping behind them, their faces filled with disbelief and disorientation.

They actually managed to break through?!

To be honest, from the moment they were captured, they never thought they could leave that hellhole alive.

All three were prepared to kill one to make a profit, kill two to earn one extra, and burn through their resources at any moment.

But who could have imagined that a miracle would happen just as they were about to burn out their lives!

And in a way they could never have imagined!

Actually, Shen Wang himself didn't expect it to go so smoothly, mainly because he acted so quickly!

From the start of the operation to the arrival at the city gate, it took only a dozen minutes in total.

Before the Japanese army's large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign could even take place, he was already trying to escape.

This not only caught the Japanese off guard, but also played a trick on those in the dark.

The Japanese soldiers in Beiping never dreamed that enemy tanks would appear in the city.

There are several lines of defense around the city. How could such a huge iron lump suddenly break in?

The Japanese soldiers who patrolled and defended the city on a daily basis did not carry any heavy weapons at all.

Who could have predicted that!

If any of the Japanese soldiers holding the line had an anti-tank gun, they probably wouldn't have let Shen Wang break through so easily.

"Old Ding, we...we really escaped?" Meng Guanglin's voice was a little hoarse.

"Xiao Sha, pinch me and see if I'm already..." He turned to Sha Zhenjiang.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhenjiang reached out and slapped him on the arm.

"Ouch..."

Meng Guanglin winced in pain.

"Hey kid, I'll let you hit me, but don't hit your wound!"

Sha Zhenjiang chuckled: "Brother Guanglin, look at yourself, is there any good flesh left on your body?"

Meng Guanglin looked down and saw that it was true; there wasn't a single good piece of flesh left on his body.

"Alright, stop fooling around!"

Ding Zhijian, who was older and more composed, spoke up to stop the two from joking around.

Then, he looked solemnly at Shen Wang, who was driving in front.

"Thank you, comrade! Thank you so much!"

If it weren't for you, we would probably be...

He didn't finish his sentence; that was a death by a thousand cuts!

Throughout history, how many people have been able to enjoy such treatment?

Meng Guanglin and Sha Zhenjiang looked at Shen Wang with gratitude. They were not afraid of death, but that did not mean they wanted to die.

Shen Wang glanced at them through the rearview mirror and waved his hand dismissively: "What are you thanking me for? If we're talking about thanks, it's not certain who's thanking whom."

Ding Zhijian was stunned for a moment, not fully understanding Shen Wang's words.

"Excuse me, sir, may I ask your name?"

"Um... my name is Shen... Shen Mingyuan." Shen Wang thought for a moment and gave his great-grandfather's name.

"Comrade Shen Mingyuan, may I ask... did the organization send you to rescue us? Which unit are you from? We've never heard of you before..."

As Shen Wang drove the vehicle at high speed on the dirt road, he simply shook his head: "Oh, I'm not a member of your organization."

"Not yet, at least not for now," Shen Wang added to himself.

"What?" All three of them were taken aback.

The other party wasn't sent by the organization?

This was already the umpteenth time the three of them had been completely dumbfounded today.

"Then... then why did you save us?" Ding Zhijian then asked.

If they weren't part of an organization, why would they risk their lives to rescue them?

"I saved you because I admire you as true men, heroes who are genuinely fighting the Japanese invaders," Shen Wang said frankly.

"..."

An eerie silence instantly fell inside the car.

Ding Zhijian, Meng Guanglin, and Sha Zhenjiang were completely petrified, staring dumbfounded at Shen Wang's retreating figure.

They had considered countless possibilities, but they never expected Shen Wang to give this answer.

He actually came to the rescue on his own initiative!

What incredible courage that requires! What fervent patriotism that requires!

In Beiping, where the Japanese army was heavily garrisoned, how could someone carry out such a dangerous rescue all by himself, simply out of "admiration"?

In an instant, an unprecedented warmth and respect rose in the hearts of the three!

Meng Guanglin and Sha Zhenjiang quickly stopped laughing.

If they are considered as one of our own, then the gratitude is also tinged with the camaraderie of comrades-in-arms.

But the other party was a complete stranger to them, so this selfless gratitude seemed even purer and more profound!

Ding Zhijian took another deep breath, and together with Meng Guanglin and Sha Zhenjiang, the three of them, disregarding their physical pain, bowed deeply to Shen Wang's back in the cramped carriage!

"Mr. Shen!!" Ding Zhijian's voice was extremely solemn, "Whether you belong to the organization or not, you are the greatest benefactor to the three of us in this life! This kindness will never be forgotten!"

"Yes! My benefactor! From now on, my life, Meng Guanglin's life, belongs to you!" Meng Guanglin patted his chest and said excitedly.

Sha Zhenjiang stared intently at Shen Wang, his young face full of sincerity: "Brother Shen... I, Sha Zhenjiang, am not good with fancy words, but I will remember your kindness!"

He pounded his chest forcefully: "From now on, whatever orders I may receive, I will go through fire and water, even unto death!"

Shen Wang saw Sha Zhenjiang's slightly immature face in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but feel amused.

Good heavens, the future eldest uncle of the First Affiliated Hospital of Handong Province is now calling him "Brother Shen" and is even willing to go through fire and water for him.

This feeling... is really quite strange.

Just then, a system notification finally sounded in my mind—

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for completing the task! 】

[Task Reward: 10-pull Silver-tier lottery (guaranteed SSR)]

Shen Wang's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.

Ten consecutive silver draws, obtained!

This adventure was worth it!

Immediately afterwards, the system notification sounded again—

[Ding! Advanced quest triggered: Escort Ding Zhijian and his two companions back to the base in Jin Province]

[Mission Reward: 10 consecutive Gold-level gacha pulls (guaranteed SSR)]

【Whether to accept? 】

Gold-tier...SSR?

Shen Wang's breath hitched!

He then quickly accepted the mission; there was no need to hesitate any longer!

He turned to look at the people behind the car, as if they were a few experienced newbies.

"Alright, alright, don't be so reserved. It's fate that we met."

"Although we've escaped Beiping, it doesn't mean we're completely safe!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Zhijian and the other two tensed up once again.

That's right!

Leaving Beiping city does not mean you are safe.

The area within a radius of several hundred square kilometers in the north was all occupied by the Japanese.

No matter how fast a tank is, can it be faster than radio waves?

One can imagine that countless challenges await them ahead.

This time, the Japanese will definitely bring a lot of heavy firepower!

Even anti-tank guns!

Will they be able to escape successfully?
