If you drive from Shanghai City to Sioux City, it originally only takes more than two hours. However, since the war officially started, in order to block the supply of Sioux City as much as possible, the Japanese have sent many small teams to destroy the connection between the two cities. The effect can be said to be remarkable.

Even if the new government made timely repairs, the road was still full of potholes. Coupled with the poor visibility in the darkness, Haiyao and the military commander stumbled for three hours before barely entering the boundaries of Su City.

From dark to dawn, Haiyao felt awake and confused at times. Finally, when she opened her eyes, facing the dim light of the morning, she saw the desolation around her clearly.

It was different from the comfort mixed with panic in Shanghai City. Most of the villages passing by were deserted and desolate, and even the gun holes on the earthen walls revealed a depressing sadness.

"If we drive a stick of incense further, we will be able to reach the safety zone temporarily set up by the new government army. Then I will take Miss Xu to have breakfast first, fill up the car with some gas, and then continue to the location. How is the command center in the city?" The military master holding the steering wheel in his hand spoke, his usually determined eyes also stained with a touch of fatigue.

"It all depends on the military master's arrangement." Haiyao naturally would not disagree.

Not long after the two had this brief conversation, they arrived at the safe zone that the other party said.Because the conditions are really limited, the so-called safe zone is very simple. It is just a few broken houses abandoned by local fellows, a large temporarily fenced open space and a few rag tents with air leakage everywhere.

Perhaps because of the presence of soldiers, some fellow villagers can be seen wandering around here, but most of them are in ragged clothes and look numb.

The person in charge of the safety zone knew Song Jiayan's confidant, so the two of them got two still warm breakfast pancakes and some gasoline without wasting much time.They didn't spend too much time here. They just took a breath and went straight to the headquarters in Su City.

When the vicissitudes of the main city wall of Su City finally appeared in front of Haiyao, she silently let out a breath.

The wall near Shanghai City was still in good condition. After all, it was not the main direction of attack by the Japanese army. Even if a Japanese army squad came to harass occasionally, it would not cause any substantial damage.

only……

Haiyao frowned slightly and looked out the window sharply. The quiet and dilapidated scene seemed no different from what he saw along the way.

She stared intently at a stooped old man and an old cow not far away for a while, until the figures of one man and one cow gradually became smaller, she slowly withdrew her gaze.

"There seem to be more people here than near the safe zone." She said seemingly unintentionally.

The man driving in front didn't feel anything was wrong: "The Japanese army has launched countless storms these days, but as long as the young master is here, those plots are destined to fail. As time goes by, the people of Sioux City have become distrustful of the new government. I regained some confidence, and some of it slowly came back.”

Raising her eyebrows noncommittally, Haiyao did not continue the topic and instead turned her attention to the two middle-aged men on the roadside.

The closer they got to Sioux City, the harder the road became. Just before the car was almost knocked apart, they finally passed the city gate and entered the city unimpeded.

Sioux City is further south than Hucheng. Although the two places are close to each other, compared to the westernized prosperity of Hucheng, it has a gentler waterside feel.The stone roads that are wet all year round and the alleys of various sizes, wide or narrow, make people imagine what a splendid scene it would be if the flowers were still blooming here.

drip-

After wandering around the city for a long time, the car finally slowly stopped outside a large house that was still intact. Although the wall occasionally collapsed, it was quite able to remain like this under the frequent bombings of the Japanese army. Not bad.

Soon, there was movement in the yard, and within a few breaths, two military officers in military uniforms with guns on their backs rushed out. After seeing the military commander driving the car, the two men immediately rushed out. He stood up straight and saluted respectfully: "Vice General Zhao!"

Hearing this title, Hai Yao raised her eyelids in surprise. She also didn't expect that Song Jiayan would leave such an important right-hand man beside her.

No wonder she didn't hesitate to come last night when she wanted to come. He was obviously destined to earn honors on the battlefield. It would be more uncomfortable to stay in Shanghai than to kill him.

"Yes." Vice General Zhao nodded politely as a response, and then led the way, leading Haiyao through the courtyard and several half-moon doors, and finally stopped outside a main room.

Seeing the hesitant look on the other party's face, Hai Yao said in a very considerate voice: "Don't worry, Lord Jun. If you don't bring me here, I will come secretly by myself. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Lieutenant General Zhao's dark face suddenly became filled with sadness. He then stepped forward and exchanged words with the soldiers guarding the gate. Then he stretched out his hand to indicate that Haiyao could come in.

Walking up the steps of the bluestone barrier, she stretched out her hand and knocked on the heavy solid wood door. After getting a response from the person inside, she opened the door without too much hesitation.

The room was very quiet, but much brighter than expected. The furnishings in the room were very simple, and the most eye-catching thing was the sand table placed in the inner room on the right.There was also a very detailed map hanging on the wall behind the sand table. At this time, the tall figure that Haiyao was very familiar with was standing there with his back to the door.

Probably because he didn't hear any movement for a long time, Song Jiayan turned around while asking: "What's the matter..."

The young master was obviously as tall as a pine tree, but he was so stunned that he was at a loss for words. Seeing this, Hai Yao couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled, and then said lightly: "Is there any discomfort in Master Song's injury?"

Unexpectedly, Song Jiayan didn't buy it, and said in a very serious tone: "This is not the place where Miss Xu should come. You'd better go back to Shanghai as soon as possible!"

After saying this, he was about to call out to Vice General Zhao outside the door, but his next words were interrupted by Hai Yao. "Does Master Song know that the Japanese army has already made dumplings for Su City from all directions?"

Song Jiayan opened his mouth and didn't respond, but his expression clearly showed that he knew. In the end, he just asked dryly: "How did you know?"

"I saw too many people on the way here." Hai Yao said this lightly.

What about old men and old cows, as well as middle-aged people wandering the streets? How can the fellow villagers in Sioux City these days have such 'luxury' livestock as scalpers, which even look very strong.As for the two middle-aged men, it was even more outrageous. Those who had a little bit of energy were conscripted into the army to fight against the Japanese. Even if they could stay at home, they had no time to wander outside.

"So Master Song rushed back in such a hurry yesterday just to live and die with Su City and so many people?"

Hearing such a question, Song Jiayan knew that the always smart woman had guessed everything. He lowered his black eyes, and there was a subtle sigh and pain in his words: "I and the remaining 510 [-] people in Su City A warrior, vowing to advance and retreat together with the people in the city!"

"Shanghai City is also fully prepared. Once a war breaks out in Sioux City, the army in Shanghai City will definitely find the right opportunity to catch the Japanese army by surprise." After saying these words, the man's usually straight back bent slightly.

It was obvious that this incident had a profound impact on him.

It doesn't matter that he died alone. What's difficult is that there are so many brothers and civilians behind him. However, it is necessary to make some sacrifices in special times, and there are more people to protect.

It's not that I haven't thought about evacuating the people in Sioux City, but this city, together with the surrounding towns and villages, is really too big.Regardless of whether the evacuation can be completed in a short period of time, the movement in Shanghai City will definitely alarm the Japanese army. By then, the people of Sioux City who have already fallen into panic will just run out in a swarm. The first thing they will encounter is an ambush that has long been waiting for them. For the Japanese army behind the city, if the Japanese army chooses to start a war at this time, more people will die.

To be honest, by spreading out like this, they have a greater chance of survival... In addition, Shanghai City will send troops to respond in the later stage. Song Jiayan can only pray that the Japanese army still retains a little bit of humanity, and the situation will not be as everyone expected. difference.

"Miss Xu, you'd better leave as soon as possible. I'll ask Vice General Zhao to take a few brothers and send you back to Shanghai without being spotted by the Japanese army outside the city."

"So Master Song, do you think the Japanese army will choose to use the virus that caused your injury to worsen this time to attack the city?" Haiyao rolled her eyes and asked another question, and then continued without waiting for the other party's response. He muttered: "I have some medical skills."

"Nonsense! How many can you save?" The two of them had known each other for so long and had been in contact many times. This was the first time Song Jiayan got angry, and he just slapped the table hard.

Hai Yao still looked unconcerned: "It's okay to save as many as you can, but if I can't bring in a few more Japanese people to back me up, why can't my father give me the first page of my family tree? How can I protect the sincerity of Su City in the future?" My name must be in every book."

"I'm different...!" Before Song Jiayan could finish speaking, a piercing siren suddenly sounded outside.

Then there was a panic in the yard, and Vice General Zhao's voice came: "Oh no! It's a Japanese bomber!"

Song Jiayan reflexively rushed out, leaving only a quick "Stay here"!
Quietly watching all the soldiers in the courtyard leave in an orderly manner, Haiyao leaned against the door and listened to the roar of the planes above. The frightened cries of the people in the city loomed in her ears. She took a deep breath and finally took the step forward. step.

boom!boom!boom!
Six or seven huge iron lumps fell from the hovering plane above. The moment they landed, Su City became a purgatory on earth. Many people cried in the steaming mist and splashing sand. Howling and running.

A strong wind blew by, bringing the distant fog to Haiyao's side.

Taking a gentle breath of the gas mixed with the burnt smell, her brows frowned at first and then relaxed. After screening the true energy in her body, it turned out that the virus used by the Japanese army this time was indeed the same as the virus that almost killed Song Jiayan. For the same kind.

If it's later, when these gases are inhaled into people's bodies, it may be too late.

So after the planes that had completed their missions quickly moved away, Hai Yao mobilized all the zhenqi that she had worked so hard to accumulate in her body, and rose into the air above the entire city!
Overlooking the miserable scenes in the city, she raised the corners of her lips, then formed a gesture with her hands, and lightly opened her red lips: "Stop!"

woohoo hoo...

Suddenly there was a strong wind in Su City, and the mist that filled the air began to swell and shrink. The people below who were busy running for their lives were all shocked by this strange scene. Some even stopped running and just mouthed. He looked up with a big smile.

Unfortunately, Song Jiayan, who was fighting with the soldiers on the fortifications of the city wall, was too distracted to notice such an unusual sight immediately.

boom!
With a rather muffled sound, the mist began to rotate rapidly, eventually forming a vortex and beginning to shrink inward.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to notice that the surrounding fog had become thinner, and then they noticed the strange phenomenon in the city sky. However, the reality did not allow them to take a second look. You must know that the war is changing rapidly, giving the opponent a lot of opportunities. If you take advantage of the opportunity, you may end up in despair the next second.

boom!boom!
But immediately after, there were two more muffled sounds, and the mist rushed towards the center of the vortex at a faster speed!
At this moment, Lieutenant General Zhao happened to chop down a Japanese soldier who rushed to the city wall with his sword, and glanced into the air: "How could it be? That's not... not Miss Xu?!"

Just as the Japanese army outside the city was distracted by the scene above them, Song Jiayan was able to take a breather and look around, witnessing the whole process of Hai Yao sucking the last bit of poisonous gas into his body.

The next second, the slender figure fell down like a kite with its string broken without any support!
The second before she completely lost consciousness, Haiyao seemed to hear someone in the distance shouting her name heartbreakingly. Unfortunately, all she could think of at that time was: the bastard Japanese, Make such a big portion!
Who knows? If you eat too much, you won’t be able to digest it! QAQ
Immediately, her eyes fell into chaotic darkness. (End of chapter)
