Shanghai Public Concession, Nanjing Road Huizhong Hotel. More than two months have passed, and the place has long returned to its former liveliness.

More than two months ago, a big explosion occurred here. Now, the damage around it has been restored as before, and the damage of the explosion has been repaired. The traces of the big explosion have long disappeared and have completely disappeared in the bustling crowd.

Although the explosion caused disasters and troubles to the refugees stranded on the Bund, the Bund and the Bund Park Green Space are still a rare place for people to settle down. This place naturally becomes a place for the National Government and the public concession authorities to set up shelter and relief.

Or people have long hidden the memories of the Big Bang deep in their hearts, or people have to make a living here, or people still have to take shelter here, this section of the Bund is still full of chaos, with some selling snacks, some looking for work, and some waiting for alms.

The hot summer passes quickly, and since September passes, the feeling of summer no longer exists. An autumn rain and a cold. As the weather gradually turns cooler, refugees who lack clothes and quilts become longer and more difficult to deal with.

Since the war broke out in Shanghai, refugees have continued to pour into the public concessions in southern Suzhou and Henan, sleeping on the streets, crowded and chaotic, unclean drinking water, malnutrition, and lack of medical treatment have all plagued the refugees in Shanghai, and the concession authorities. Near the shelter sites, there is a refugee gathering place. Not only food has become a big problem, but public health has also become a big problem. Since September, cholera and dysentery broke out in Shanghai, and various hospitals have been overcrowded. In mid-September alone, 277 people died of cholera and dysentery. The epidemic has spread among refugees. By the end of September, from the incomplete reports of the "Sheng" alone, hundreds of people were admitted to hospitals alone, and thousands of people were suspected of not being able to seek medical treatment.

The seriousness of cholera in Shanghai has led the Hong Kong authorities to define Shanghai as a "time epidemic port". Anyone who travels from Shanghai to Hong Kong must undergo a physical examination at the Shanghai hospital designated by the Hong Kong authorities and obtain a qualified license before they can be allowed to enter Hong Kong.

In order to control the epidemic in the public concession, the public concession and the French concession authorities had to adopt a series of active and effective response strategies. At the various passages of Suzhou River, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce established quarantine stations to inspect the refugees in the war zones that fled from Hongkou and Yangshupu, and specially established an isolation hospital to treat infectious patients. They also sent people and cars to the streets to inoculate residents and refugees for free, and spray disinfection and sterilization at refugee gathering sites every day.

On Bund Road, Lu Xiaoqing was shuttled through the crowd. At this time, she happened to see a kind-hearted person driving a truck to distribute steamed buns to the refugees at the refugee order, one steamed bun and a large spoonful of porridge for each person. This is already a very good food.

Seeing the refugees lined up tightly and the gratitude and expectation in the eyes of the refugees, Lu Xiaoqing couldn't help but ripples appeared in her calm heart. Thinking that if it weren't for her husband's empress, if it weren't for the favor of Team Leader Zhang, she might have become one of them.

At this time, Lu Xiaoqing's mind suddenly tightened, and her face showed a slight panic. It turned out that she found that because of her temporary distraction, the familiar figure in her vision had disappeared at some point.

Lu Xiaoqing cursed secretly, "Ghost", then accelerated his steps and walked forward.

Shanghai Bund Road, Customs Building. After coming out of the hall of the Customs Building, Yang An was shocked by the exquisiteness, elegance, majesty and thickness of this European-style building. Yang An looked up at the top of the large pillar in front of the building and stroked the giant Greek-style pillar with his hands. In the blink of an eye, the exquisite buildings in the Bund area of ​​Shanghai passed through his mind one by one, making it difficult for him to extricate himself.

Seeing Yang An staring at the giant pillar in a daze, Zi Su saw his inner expectation and obsession in his eyes, and asked softly: "How is Yang An? This European-style building is good, right?"

"Well, this foreigner's thing gives people a very unusual feeling." Yang An answered quietly while still staring at the details of the components at the top of the pillar.

"Do you want to learn architecture?"

"I think! There are so many things I want to learn!" Yang An withdrew his eyes, suddenly thought of his grandfather's expectations, and said with emotion at Zi Su.

"Then you go back to Yangzhou to study hard, and then you will study architecture when you go to college. Of course, you can also study architecture abroad."

Yang An shook his head thoughtfully, pursed his lips and said, "No, I want to fight the Japanese!"

"Hey--! It's useless to persuade you!" Zi Su was not surprised by Yang An's answer. In fact, she had already understood Yang An's thoughts during this period.

"Sister Zisu, I want to fight the Japanese! When the Japanese are driven away, I will go to study!"

"Sister supports you to fight the Japanese. If you want to avenge your sister, you must kill a few more Japanese!"

Yang An saw the crystal clearness in Zisu's eyes, and with a flash of thought, he thought of Zisu's story that night. When her mother and the old servant in her family died tragically in the Japanese bombing, the large real estate and industry in her family also disappeared.

"Sister Zisu, don't worry! I will definitely avenge you. If I don't kill all the Japanese, and if I don't drive away the Japanese, I will fight to the end with my gun!"

Yang An's confident voice rang in Zisu's ears, and she couldn't help but say, "My good brother! Thank you for being here first!"

As he said that, Zi Su grabbed Yang An's hands tightly, and his eyes showed admiration and appreciation.

Lu Xiaoqing quickly walked through the crowd. Thinking of her mission, she felt more anxious in her eyes.

Today, she was wearing a blue cloth dress, black cloth shoes on her feet, and a cigarette-selling house on her shoulders. If she stayed or walked slowly like usual, no one would notice her specialness. However, she was carrying a cigarette-selling house and walking like this, and she would naturally make passers-by notice her abnormality.

During this period, she performed a surveillance mission near the No. 5 target. No matter what kind of outfit she appeared in, it refreshed Zhang Yipu and the others, and they all felt that they were dressed just right. However, after all, her time in the Military Control Commission was too short and she had no experience of time. Her innate talent alone could not allow her to complete her current mission well.

In previous surveillance, she had discovered Jie Aihua's abnormality. When Jie Aihua left, she had already reported Jie Aihua's abnormality at a nearby telephone booth and expressed her inner guesses. Then, she left with Jie Aihua. Now, Jie Aihua obviously turned back from the Bund Road pier, and she also walked back. However, she could not walk at the speed of Jie Aihua walking, because it would make pedestrians feel obvious abnormality. In this way, her distance from Jie Aihua became farther and farther, but the familiar back disappeared from her vision because she was watching refugees for a while, because she was distracted.

Thinking of the various abnormalities that Jie Aihua showed today, Lu Xiaoqing always felt that what would happen today. It was precisely for this reason that she had previously reported the situation to the team leader. The sudden disappearance of the target, and the rapid progress was still unable to find the target, Lu Xiaoqing felt a little self-blame in her heart, and this self-blame turned into anxiety in her eyes, which made her ignore her outfit in her clothes and ignore her disguised identity today as a hawker selling cigarettes.

The vast crowd once covered Lu Xiaoqing's identity. But now, because she moved forward quickly, she undoubtedly became more eye-catching in this crowd, making people notice the abnormality of this vendor. However, Lu Xiaoqing, who was eager to find a target, was completely ignorant of this and did not realize the upcoming danger at this time.
