Chapter 262 Qin Lan, who loves using knives
At the entrance of an alley 300 meters from the gate of the 5th Army unit's garrison in the eastern part of Ershi City, Qin Lan, leaning on Sha Niu's shoulder with a smile in her eyes, spoke to Bai Luo, who was observing the Japanese patrol soldiers lying at the alley entrance.
"Child, what are we doing squatting here?"
As she spoke, she reached out and rubbed Bai Luo's head again.
Qin Lan's fingernails scraped against Bai Luo's helmet, making a "crunching" sound, but Bai Luo raised his hand again and swatted the mischievous cat paw off his head.
"There are poison gas bombs here, Xiao Luo wants to take them."
The silly girl standing to the side immediately saw through Bai Luo's thoughts.
"Poison gas bombs? Child, what are poison gas bombs? Are they shells that poison you if you get hit by them?"
When Bai Luo saw Qin Lan reaching out to touch his head again, he turned his head and glared at her, without answering Qin Lan's question.
When the silly bear behind the silly girl saw Bai Luo turn around, it immediately stood up straight, pressed its face against the wall, and looked like it was reflecting on its mistakes.
Bai Luo glared at the cunning and sly bear again.
Silly Girl, meanwhile, stared blankly at Qin Lan as she explained.
"Xiao Luo said that a poison gas bomb is a type of bomb that doesn't explode but only emits smoke."
While answering Qin Lan's question, the silly girl was also playing with the cat ears that were resting on her shoulder and head.
Qin Lan not only did not resist, but also moved her head forward so that the silly girl could pinch her cat ears.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked like he was enjoying himself.
He didn't even bother to ask Bai Luo why he was looking for poison gas bombs; he just followed them wherever they went.
Bai Luo looked at Qin Lan's blissful expression, like a well-behaved kitten.
Bai Luo couldn't help but shake his head.
He thought to himself, "It's one thing to have cat ears, but to have a personality just like a cat's is another."
Then his gaze shifted to Qin Lan and he looked her over carefully. At this moment, Qin Lan's clothes were basically drafty.
It looks really cool on such a cold day, but Qin Lan doesn't seem to feel cold at all.
"She doesn't have any hair on her body?" Bai Luo muttered to herself.
Despite her complaints, Bai Luo still opened the system shop and prepared to exchange for an outfit for Qin Lan.
Qin Lan noticed that Bai Luo didn't answer her immediately, but instead stared blankly at her clothes.
Qin Lan subconsciously looked down at her clothes. Well, she was worse off than a beggar, with drafts coming in from all sides.
But the next moment, Qin Lan's eyes, which had been gradually lowering as she examined her own clothes, inadvertently caught sight of Bai Luo's hands, which had been empty, suddenly filled with a bunch of things, and her eyes widened instantly.
Qin Lan immediately looked closely at what Bai Luo was holding. It was a brand new set of clothes, and the material and style were the same as those worn by Bai Luo and Sha Niu.
After taking out the clothes, Bai Luo stuffed them directly into Qin Lan's hand, who was still in shock.
"Thorn."
The sturdy combat uniform was pierced with several holes by Qin Lan's fingernails.
Bai Luo's lips twitched involuntarily, and he touched his helmet again, secretly vowing that as long as Qin Lan was by his side...
The helmet was welded to his head from then on; otherwise, his hair might not have lasted until liberation.
Qin Lan was also startled awake from her shock by the sound of clothes tearing.
Looking at the combat uniform in his hand, which he had poked several holes in.
He looked up and examined Bai Luo closely, but couldn't figure out where Bai Luo had taken out such a set of clothes from.
They even have shoes.
Bai Luo gestured for Qin Lan to put it on first, and as for the holes, Bai Luo said it was none of his business.
Seeing this, Qin Lan tore open her clothes, which were no different from rags, and then, to Bai Luo's astonishment, she...
Qin Lan's fingernails were visibly retracting, and in the blink of an eye, they returned to the length of a normal person's fingernails.
After her fingernails retracted, Qin Lan quickly put on her combat uniform.
Bai Luo was surprised that Qin Lan's fingernails could retract, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her hair that had been cut off earlier.
After Qin Lan finished dressing, Bai Luo once again conjured up a heavy bulletproof vest out of thin air in front of Qin Lan.
This time she saw it clearly; it was even more fantastical than any street performance. Qin Lan was speechless, standing there dumbfounded, her mind completely blank.
She let the silly girl put the rather heavy bulletproof vest on her.
Hmm, it's a bit tight.
This was Qin Lan's first thought when she put on the bulletproof vest.
Once Qin Lan came to her senses, she didn't ask Bai Luo where her clothes came from.
Instead, he fell silent and buried his head in the silly girl's neck.
Although Bai Luo didn't say a word, his actions made Qin Lan feel his trust, recognition, and acceptance.
Silly girl only felt a warm, slightly itchy sensation on her neck.
Bai Luo saw that Qin Lan didn't press him about how he conjured a piece of clothing out of thin air, but instead nestled in the silly girl's arms and shed little pearls.
Having been single for two lifetimes, Bai Luo simply couldn't fathom women's minds.
He turned back to keep an eye on Unit 5, noting the patrol intervals.
This time, the attack will target two locations simultaneously: one is the gas research lab beneath the warehouse in the backyard of Unit 5, and the other is the semi-underground air-raid shelter on the west side of Unit 5's base where gas bombs are stored.
Therefore, Bai Luo's forces had to split into two groups, and it was already 4:50 in the morning.
It was almost dawn, so we didn't want to alert the Japanese soldiers here.
Bai Luo didn't even detonate the bomb planted in Renxiang Hospital.
After confirming the patrol and deployment of the entire 5th Unit, Bai Luo turned to look at Qin Lan.
"Can you use a gun?"
Qin Lan nodded but then shook her head. Before being captured by the Japanese, she was just the daughter of a bandit, and an illegitimate one at that.
Although I have practiced with guns, I have fired no more than 20 bullets since I first got my hands on one.
Bai Luo was confused by Qin Lan's action. Just as she was about to ask, Qin Lan explained.
"I have handled guns before, and I know the basics, but as for marksmanship, it depends on how accurately the Japanese soldiers catch the bullets."
Bai Luo's face darkened upon hearing this. Bad marksmanship is bad, why beat around the bush like that?
Seemingly noticing Bai Luo's speechlessness, Qin Lan also wanted to prove her worth.
He quickly added more.
"After I was injected with that drug by the Japanese soldiers, I became physically strong, very fast, and could even climb walls. I also learned swordsmanship from my father for a period of time."
As Qin Lan spoke, her eyes unconsciously drifted to the dagger at Bai Luo's waist and the Tang sword on his back.
She had witnessed the sharpness and hardness of these two knives in the prison cell; they were definitely two treasured swords.
She wanted the two knives more than the gun.
Bai Luo also understood the meaning behind Qin Lan's eyes.
He took the two knives off his body and handed them to her. After thinking for a moment, he also handed her the 1911 knife that he rarely used.
Qin Lan was surprised that Bai Luo actually gave her both knives, so she didn't hold back.
He took the two knives directly and solemnly fixed them in a convenient position on his body.
As for the 1911 rifle, she casually stuffed it into the pocket of her combat uniform.
Bai Luo's lips twitched, but she ultimately said nothing.
