AWB Chapter 1074 Voluntary Capture
Chapter 1074 Voluntary Capture
At this moment, the northern part of the city became unusually quiet, and no more gunshots could be heard, but sporadic gunshots and explosions could still be heard occasionally in the city.
Jiang Jiyun gripped the medicine powder tightly in her hand, not daring to stop for a moment.
Because she knew that if she couldn't rescue these civilians, her uncle would fall into the enemy's hands, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
So no matter what, she absolutely could not let this happen.
Just then, she suddenly caught sight of a crowd of Japanese soldiers wearing gas masks, holding guns and scanning their surroundings warily in the distance.
Seeing this, Jiang Jiyun's heart sank: it seemed these cunning fellows were already on guard, and the medicine he carried would probably be ineffective...
Faced with this group of vicious invaders, Jiang Wenming did not back down an inch.
After all, as a soldier and a Party member, he had long since disregarded life and death.
But what made him hesitate was that so many innocent civilians were now in the hands of the Japanese. If he were to anger them in the slightest, he would inevitably be caught in the crossfire.
Just as Jiang Jiyun was walking and thinking, she finally arrived at the place where Xu Fan and his wife were.
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers surrounding them were collapsing to the ground from inhaling the sleeping pills, Dong Duoyu quickly led Xu Fan away from the scene.
After the three of them successfully reunited, Jiang Jiyun handed the child to Dong Duoyu and instructed him: "Brother Xu Fan, please make sure you evacuate safely! As for my uncle, given his consistent character, he will definitely step forward and sacrifice himself to ensure the safety of those people. Therefore, I decided to follow these Japanese devils and find a suitable opportunity to rescue him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fan shook his head repeatedly, indicating his opposition.
Jiang Jiyun quickly explained, "My brother's situation is currently unknown, and we can't contact him for the time being. You should go find my brother and the others first. I'll leave signal markers along the way. As long as everything goes smoothly, I believe we'll be reunited soon!"
After Jiang Jiyun finished speaking, his gaze quickly swept around and finally locked onto a Japanese soldier of similar height to himself.
She deftly stripped the Japanese soldier of his uniform and quickly put his clothes on herself.
"Xiaoyun, you...you must survive!" Dong Duoyu said, choking back tears.
She then placed the child in Xu Fan's arms, picked him up, and ran off into the distance without looking back.
Jiang Jiyun stood quietly in place, watching the terrified civilians in the distance gradually move away from the battlefield.
They trembled uncontrollably, tears streaming down their faces like a burst dam, their sorrowful and desperate gazes fixed on the man clutching the explosive pack, surrounded by the Japanese soldiers.
"Run! Don't look back!" Jiang Wenming shouted hoarsely.
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun had already quietly infiltrated the enemy camp.
Through the gaps in the crowd, she could clearly see her uncle clutching the explosive pack tightly in his hand, his fingers gripping the fuse, ready to detonate at any moment and perish in the explosion along with these Japanese soldiers.
At this thought, Jiang Jiyun's heart instantly clenched into a tangled mess, filled with anxiety and unease.
She knew what her uncle's actions meant. If he successfully detonated the explosives, it would not only deal a huge blow to the enemy, but her uncle would also pay the price with his life.
So she immediately released Little Flower and ordered it to go and protect her uncle.
This snake, named Xiaohua, is a highly venomous banded krait, which Xiaocui brought back to her side.
Although it is slightly less intelligent than Xiao Cui, it is more obedient and possesses a deadly poison.
Looking at the group of Japanese soldiers in front of him, Jiang Wenming felt a surge of despair, but at the same time he felt a sense of relief, because he knew that the civilians had finally left safely.
The Japanese soldiers pointed their dark gun barrels and cold, hard cannon muzzles at him, and he was prepared to detonate the explosives on his body at any moment.
Just then, the Japanese soldier suddenly shouted to Jiang Wenming in broken Chinese, "Sir, please don't act rashly! We have already released your compatriots as agreed, and they have all left safely."
"However, if you insist on refusing to surrender, the consequences may be unimaginable... After all, our guns and cannons are not blind and are still pointed at them. As long as you are willing to surrender obediently, I guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will treat you well and will not make things difficult for the people!"
Hearing this, Jiang Wenming felt conflicted.
In truth, he had no desire to become a prisoner of the enemy, but the current situation clearly showed that the other side had the upper hand, while he was completely on the defensive.
Just as he was hesitating, he caught a glimpse of a figure slowly crawling towards him out of the corner of his eye.
Jiang Wenming looked down and saw it was the little snake named [name missing]!
This is Xiao Cui's follower. He played with it twice, but this guy is very lazy and usually doesn't move. Except when it's eating, it's more agile than anyone else.
In an instant, Jiang Wenming realized that Jiang Jiyun was lurking nearby. She had sent Xiaohua over to remind herself to survive, because if she survived, she would have a chance to save him.
So, while pretending to put down the explosive charge in his hand, he subtly looked around to confirm Jiang Jiyun's location before confidently releasing his grip on the explosive charge.
Immediately afterwards, the piercing loudspeaker blared again, "Quickly! Please take Mr. Jiang to the car!"
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun looked at the group of Japanese soldiers in front of him and saw that they all looked reluctant and seemed unwilling to go forward to carry out the order.
The reason was none other than the sight of the venomous snake coiled around Jiang Wenming!
No one dared to take a single step closer, for fear of losing their life in the process.
"Hands, hands, hands, hands, vibrations, hands!" (Raise your hands, turn around slowly!)
Jiang Jiyun deliberately slowed his pace, each step appearing somewhat clumsy and hesitant, as if his heart was filled with fear.
She gripped the spear tightly, yet seemed hesitant to tighten her grip, lest she alert the enemy.
And so, she carefully walked toward Jiang Wenming, while constantly feigning a look of extreme fear.
At this moment, the little flower wrapped around Jiang Wenming's arm was unaware of the approaching danger.
It leisurely wrapped its arm around its owner's friend's arm, and occasionally raised its head to look around curiously at everything.
When it saw Jiang Jiyun approaching, it even mistook it for an interesting game, so it excitedly raised its little head, stuck out its red tongue, and cast a cheerful look at Jiang Jiyun.
The situation before the Japanese soldiers was extremely difficult for them.
They believed that the ferocious venomous snake would actively attack those who approached them, thus helping Jiang Wenming defend against external enemies.
Only Jiang Wenming knew that the little guy wasn't trying to attack anyone, but rather that he was excited to see his owner.
He recognized the man with the pigeon-toed gait as Jiang Jiyun, so he straightened up and stared intently at the enemy in the encirclement.
He roared, "Listen up! If anyone dares to touch a single scale of my pet, I'll fight to the death and make sure you all die with me!"
