Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

"To make soldiers forget their pain? To charge forward recklessly?"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Kuroda could no longer contain himself; he had never heard of such a thing before.

"Bring them to me. If necessary, use violence to make our soldiers forget their pain. They'll be willing for the sake of the Empire. If they disagree, kill them. We can't let the Chinese soldiers get this!"

As a Japanese colonel, Kuroda clearly understood the importance of this matter. If it could be used properly, neither France nor America would be a match for the Great Japanese Empire!

If the people in that small clinic are unwilling to serve the Imperial Army, then kill them. Under no circumstances should anyone else get them!

"Hi."

Takahashi Akuta saluted and strode away into the distance.

Colonel Kuroda paused for a few seconds, then turned and walked toward the Special Forces.

......

......

After Lu Chen and Cheng Jingchuan parted ways, Lu Chen headed towards the edge of the Chinese-controlled area of ​​Shanghai. He wanted to go there and see when the war would spread to Shanghai.

"Go and gather some useful intelligence for me."

Lu Chen opened his coat and gave the order. Five rats crawled out of the large pocket inside the coat, scrambled up Lu Chen's thigh and down to the ground, and soon disappeared into the sewer.

Lu Chen didn't let Rat One go, after all, Rat One was the smartest rat he had ever seen, and having it by his side would help him predict danger.

The Chinese-controlled area of ​​Shanghai is neither too big nor too small; you can walk around it in about an hour if you don't take a rickshaw.

Upon reaching the edge of the Chinese-controlled area, it was clear that the area had been taken over by the Japanese army, with even the guards at the gate now being replaced by military police.

"Brother Chen."

When the group saw Lu Chen, they quickly went up to greet him.

What are you doing here?

Lu Chen looked at them. There were no Japanese soldiers or soldiers from any other country around them, only these few military police officers.

"Sigh, the Japanese and Nationalist troops are fighting outside the city. They sent us here to guard it, but I think the Japanese are about to lose."

A young man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, explained to Lu Chen with a grin.

His name was Liu Jie, and he was the leader of the gang of thugs in the military police. Lu Chen knew him.

Lu Chen still felt sorry for this young man, as he had parents and a younger brother who was six years younger than him.

My father was a gambler, my mother was a smoker and drinker, and my younger brother was relatively well-behaved and studied at a private school nearby.

To support his large family and to protect them from being bullied, he became the local gang leader in the Chinese-controlled area and has now joined the military police.

"Is the Japanese army going to lose?"

"That's right, our National Revolutionary Army has so many people, what can the Japanese army use to fight them? Even if they have better equipment, they can't overcome a smaller number of people."

Liu Jie wore a mocking expression, constantly exhaling smoke rings.

Looking at him, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. His first impression of Liu Jie was that of a petty hoodlum.

But as he got to know him better, he discovered that Liu Jie valued family ties exceptionally much. He often complained about his parents' lack of ambition, but whenever he had a little money, he would buy medicine for his parents and give his younger brother pocket money.

Liu's father gambled and owed money, a huge sum that Liu Jie simply couldn't afford to pay back, nor did he intend to. In his words, he would take responsibility for his own actions and said that his father wasn't much of a man.

Liu's mother's long-term bad habits have left her with a host of illnesses, and Liu Jie has spent most of his money on medicine.

Even the cigarettes he's smoking now are ones he got from his underlings; he never buys them himself.

"Brother Chen, we can see the battlefield from here."

With that, Liu Jie waved his hand and led Lu Chen out of the city.

Lu Chen immediately spotted the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance, and the yellowish-brown uniforms on the left were those of the Japanese soldiers, easily recognizable.

Most of the soldiers on the right were wearing grass-green uniforms, making the two armies easy to distinguish.

The Japanese army was significantly outnumbered by the National Revolutionary Army and suffered repeated defeats.

Undeterred by the Japanese army, the National Revolutionary Army charged forward by sheer numbers in order to repel them.

This resulted in a large number of deaths and injuries. Lu Chen also saw several figures in white clothes moving around the battlefield, rescuing people.

"Damn those Japanese devils!"

Liu Jie, standing beside Lu Chen, looked at the battlefield and pounded on the wall.

"Brother Jie, we're out of money. How about we go collect some protection money?"

Liu Jie's younger brothers came over. They didn't care about the war; they only cared about whether they had money to spend.

Liu Jie glanced at him sideways and kicked him.

"I've said it so many times, we're all compatriots. At a time when everyone's having an easy time, why are you robbing others? What kind of man are you?"

The underling didn't dare utter a sound after being kicked, and left muttering to himself.

Liu Jie turned his attention back to the battlefield, but Lu Chen saw the underling leading a few people toward the surrounding residential buildings.

"It looks like the Japanese are going to lose."

Lu Chen watched from afar as the Japanese army was forced to retreat by the National Revolutionary Army. If the fighting continued like this, the Japanese army would eventually be driven out of Shanghai.

Ultimately, Lu Chen was also a passionate young man, and he couldn't remain calm in the face of national and personal vendettas.

"In that case, I'll add fuel to the fire!"

After saying goodbye to Liu Jie, Lu Chen left and walked into a small alley in Huajie, where he held the rat in his palm.

"Let all the rats in the Chinese territory leave the city and attack those who are different from me."

After saying that, Lu Chen placed the rat at the entrance of the sewer and let it crawl inside.

This was his chance to test his abilities and cause some trouble for the Japanese army.

Although he could command the rats, he didn't know to what extent, nor did he know if they would unconditionally obey if he asked them to jump into a fire pit.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

In the past few minutes, Lu Chen saw the rat crawl out and climb onto his shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, countless rats crawled out of the sewer openings, ignoring Lu Chen, and rushed towards the outside of the city.

Not only here, but rats are constantly emerging from the sewers on the streets of the Chinese-controlled area, pointing directly at the Japanese troops outside the city.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Have these rats gone mad?!"

When Liu Jie heard the commotion and turned around, he saw this horrific scene.

Countless rats rushed towards him, and he tried to hide, but there was nowhere for him to hide in this place.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the machete tucked behind his back.

But the rats completely ignored him as they passed by, rushing straight out of the city.

"What's going on?"

Liu Jie scratched his head, put his machete away, and carefully lifted his foot to avoid stepping on the rats as he continued to watch the battlefield outside the city.

These rats seemed to be under someone's command, rushing straight into the Japanese camp. The Japanese army, which was already at a disadvantage, collapsed even faster with the addition of the rats.

Rats have a simple attack method: biting. The sudden appearance of so many rats caught the Japanese army off guard.

Many Japanese soldiers were knocked down by rats, and then the rats swarmed around them and gnawed on their flesh.

"This is unbelievable."

Liu Jie looked at this scene and began to doubt the reality of this world.

It's one thing for these rats to suddenly rush out of the city, but they also specifically target the Japanese army; it's truly bizarre.
