Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

Wang Deming led his soldiers downstairs and immediately saw countless rats tearing at the Japanese soldiers, who were in a panic.

puff!puff!

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Deming killed several Japanese soldiers. Looking at the dense swarm of rats, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"What's going on? Have these rats gone mad?"

"Commander, let's hurry and leave!"

Xiao Li shouted, "Now that the Japanese army's attention is completely drawn to the rats, it's the perfect opportunity for them to escape!"

Wang Deming seized this crucial moment and looked around. There was no way to escape; Japanese soldiers were fighting rats on all sides.

"Come this way."

Just then, Lu Chen, wearing a mask, appeared behind the building. Wang Deming looked in the direction of the voice and saw a person wearing a cat mask.

"Who are you?"

Wang Deming frowned; this person's attire was really too strange.

"If you don't come, you might as well wait to die."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he turned and left. He wanted to save them, but if Wang Deming insisted on not believing him, there was nothing he could do.

"Walk!"

Wang Deming gritted his teeth and glanced at the Japanese troops not far in front of him. He knew that there was no other way to break the deadlock except to trust the strange man in front of him.

Helpless, he could only lead his soldiers to keep up with Lu Chen's pace.

Lu Chen led them to the Japanese military medical ward behind the building; a group of more than a dozen people walking in that direction would be very conspicuous.

However, the Japanese army was currently preoccupied with dealing with the rats' attacks, and even if they saw them, they were completely unable to stop them.

Thus, Wang Deming's army bypassed the building without any hindrance and arrived at the back of the building.

"The French Concession is right across the street. Whether you stay or leave is up to you."

Lu Chen squeezed Rat One's hand in his pocket. This was a signal. Without hesitation, Rat One stuck its head out and looked at Wang Deming in front of it, remembering his scent.

Rat Six, who was responsible for notifying Rat Four, also returned at this time. He climbed up Lu Chen's trouser leg onto his shoulder and watched Wang Deming scratch his ear.

"Who are you?"

Even though Lu Chen helped him escape, Wang Deming remained very vigilant.

Especially when he saw the rat being so affectionate with the man in front of him, Wang Deming thought of the rat that came to deliver the message last night. Was it an accomplice?

"mouse."

Lu Chen turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the French Concession without looking back, only stating his code name.

mouse......

Wang Deming silently repeated it again, then watched the other person's back disappear into the distance.

"Find a position; the rear troops should be arriving soon. We'll wait to rendezvous and launch a counterattack!"

Wang Deming entered the relatively safe French Concession, but instead led his soldiers to search for new positions amidst the ruins of the Chinese-controlled area.

"Commander, what's going on with these rats?"

Xiao Li came to Wang Deming's side and looked at the rats in the distance that were desperately tearing at the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers didn't care about anything else at the moment. Several Japanese soldiers wearing gas masks came to the side of the dead Japanese soldiers, tore off the gas canisters, and sprayed them at the rats and the Japanese soldiers.

"I don't know, but they're probably accomplices..."

Wang Deming also glanced back. These rats seemed to have received someone's order; they didn't attack them even when they passed under their feet, but instead recklessly attacked the Japanese soldiers.

That person...

Wang Deming just saw two rats crawl onto that man's shoulder, and it seems there are more rats in his pocket...

Wang Deming didn't know what was going on, but it was all good news; he had escaped.

......

After Lu Chen returned to the French Concession, he also witnessed the Japanese army using poison gas to attack rats.

"Rat Four, bring them back."

Lu Chen immediately became somewhat anxious.

The rats in the Chinese-controlled area had been almost wiped out because of his command. If the rats in the French Concession were to die out as well, then his ability would be completely useless.

"Squeak squeak".

Rat Four squeaked twice but didn't move. It just stood on Lu Chen's shoulder, staring motionless at the other rat.

After a while, as if receiving a command, the rats that had not yet been poisoned immediately turned around and returned to the French Concession.

"What is this?"

Watching Rat Four remotely directing the operation, Lu Chen's mind was completely overwhelmed.

"Ants? Pheromones?"

As a poor student, Lu Chen knew nothing about these things, but he had seen plenty of them while surfing the internet in his previous life.

Pheromones can travel extremely long distances; they are the language of animals. They can communicate without making a sound, simply by releasing pheromones with different meanings.

When a mouse is caught or injured, it leaves behind a pheromone that frightens other mice, letting its kind know that there is danger there and they should not come.

"This ability is extremely useful!"

A golden light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes; he hadn't anticipated this ability at all.

Since the rats have this ability, I can easily arrange rat two, rat three... rat six to different places.

Just like the district chief of the Military Intelligence Bureau where I am now, I have them collect information about that area and then transmit it to Rat One through pheromones.

This way, the message can be delivered to me in a timely manner, and Rat One is much smarter than them. After he processes the good news, he can accurately tell me the important news.

However, Lu Chen did not rush to make arrangements, and planned to make plans later.

The number of rats that returned to the French Concession was significantly less than the number that went out; a rough estimate suggests that only a few thousand survived and returned.

"The Japanese army suffered heavy losses this time and will definitely request reinforcements. They may even use weapons with mass destruction capabilities."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately moved away from the crowd, found a sewer, and then let Rat One, Rat Two... Rat Six all come out.

"Rat One, you continue to follow me. Rat Two, Rat Three, Rat Four, Rat Five, and Rat Six, each of you take some of your kind. I want you to cover the entire Chinese world from the inside out! Immediately transmit any news to Rat One via pheromones!"

"Squeak squeak squeak".

The mice agreed and then disappeared into the sewer.

Originally, we planned to make further arrangements later, but now, if the Japanese army really requests support, we can get the news immediately and then figure out a way to deal with it.

"Ah, it's time to go home."

Looking at the already bright sky, all the street vendors in the French Concession had come out to do business.

Lu Chen yawned. He didn't know how long it had been since he'd had any free time, and he was feeling sleepy and tired.

"Hey, I didn't notice earlier, it's still a cat mask."

After taking off his mask, Lu Chen realized that the mask he had casually picked up was actually a cat mask.

Mice, cats...

For a moment I found it a little funny, and I started walking towards home.

This time, his younger sister Lu Xiulian didn't say anything, but just made him some food. After eating, Lu Chen went straight back to his room and fell asleep, soon snoring.

I'm so tired. I was on edge dealing with the Japanese army the whole time, but now that I can relax, I just collapse into bed and fall asleep.
