In Geng Chaozhong's heart, almost ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past, and the scenes when he first met Tanaka appeared in front of his eyes.
Despicable, greedy for life, and stupid, this former Japanese army sergeant who has no Japanese bushido spirit is actually a red party member?!
If he is really a Red Party member, then his previous despicable behavior seems to have a logical explanation, because he is not willing to work hard for the Japanese army at all, so naturally he will not have the consciousness to die for the empire. Got it!
Geng Chaozhong stared blankly at the blazing house and listened to the majestic and fierce singing inside. This kind of cry when he was on the verge of death could never be false!
He raised his hand and moved his lips slightly, wanting to give an order to put out the fire.
But then, he hesitated again.
Although Tanaka is a member of the Red Party, he is a member of the Japanese Communist Party. What good will it do to save him?
But this idea only flashed through his mind for a moment. Soon, Geng Chaozhong made his decision. He waved his hand violently and said sternly:
"Listen to my orders and put out the fire!"
"Fighting the fire?" Yun Wei and Luo Yongqian looked at each other, hesitant.
After spending so much effort destroying the corpses and eradicating traces, and now we have to put out the fire, didn't Sixth Brother take the wrong medicine?
Besides, the fire is getting bigger and bigger. Although it has not burned through yet, the houses at this time are all wooden structures. Once the beams are burned down, you will undoubtedly die if you go in!
With a splash, Geng Chaozhong next to him jumped into the water urn in the yard to catch the rainwater. Then, soaked all over, he jumped up and rushed into the fire like a cheetah. It was impossible to drag him any longer!
The smoke was billowing, making it difficult to see anything, but the singing in the room continued. Although it was getting lower and lower, and was accompanied by continuous coughing, it undoubtedly pointed the way for Geng Chaozhong. He walked through the thick smoke, Facing the scorching flames, he quickly dodged several bricks and tiles falling from the sky, and grabbed Tanaka who was huddled in the corner.
"What are you doing?!"
Tanaka roared subconsciously. At this time, Tanaka had already lost his sense of hearing and smell, and the thick smoke had made him lose all five senses.
"do not move!"
Geng Chaozhong grabbed Tian Zhong's trouser legs and clothes hem and started to get angry, but Geng Chaozhong didn't care at all, carried Tian Zhong on his back, and rushed out of the house in a few quick steps.
A basin of cold water rushed towards them, instantly dousing Geng Chaozhong and Tanaka who were full of fire. Geng Chaozhong shook his wet hair and then put Tanaka down.
"Brother Six, why are you saving him?" Yun Wei was holding the basin in his hand, a little dazed.
Geng Chaozhong looked back at the house and saw that the roof had been burned red, followed by a loud noise and the entire roof crashed to the ground.
"We'll talk about it later. The fire is so big and someone will be here soon. Let's leave quickly!" Geng Chaozhong ordered.
"good!"
The three of them did not dare to hesitate. Geng Chaozhong was very strong and ran out of the house first, carrying Tian Zhong on his back.
In the distance, sporadic shouts and gunshots were heard. Wang Tianmu, who was ambushing nearby, began to block the special high school class to facilitate Geng Chaozhong's escape. The three of them followed the planned route and disappeared in the blink of an eye. In the night.
........
"Sixth brother, if Muto dies, the whole city of Beiping will probably be in chaos. Why don't we evacuate first?" In a nearby residence, Yun Wei persuaded Geng Chaozhong next to him.
"No rush." Geng Chaozhong shook his head and looked at Tanaka who was lying on the bed. Tanaka had been smoked for a long time and had some symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and suffocation. However, after simple treatment, he was showing signs of waking up.
"You go out with Luo Yong first, and I'll ask you to come back in later." Geng Chaozhong ordered.
Yun Wei agreed and walked out with Luo Yongqian.
Tianzhong's eyelids were trembling slightly, and soon after, his fingers began to scratch subconsciously. Geng Chaozhong walked over, patted his face, and whispered: "Tanzhong, wake up!"
Finally, Tanaka opened his eyes. He looked at the roof blankly, seemingly not noticing that there was another person in front of him. After a long time, his eyes finally began to focus and his consciousness finally returned. Then, he cast his gaze. On Geng Chaozhong’s face.
"you......."
Tanaka was a little confused, he couldn't figure out whether he was dead or alive now.
"Don't worry, let me ask you a question first, are you a Red Party member?" Geng Chaozhong said.
Tanaka remained silent, but his eyes rolled around a few times. His face no longer had the dull and honest expression before, and he seemed to be a different person in temperament.
"I heard you singing the Internationale." Geng Chaozhong looked into Tanaka's eyes.
"I sang it casually and didn't even know the name of the song." Tanaka denied.
"Sing a song with an unknown name before you die, you are really leisurely and elegant," Geng Chaozhong smiled and shook his head, "Tanaka, I know you are a member of the Japanese Communist Party, don't deny it."
There was some confusion in Tianzhong's eyes. He glanced at Geng Chaozhong and whispered: "Why did you save me?"
"Do you know a man named Omura Zhuoyi? He is the deputy general manager of Fengtian Mantetsu Co., Ltd. He once saved my life before." Geng Chaozhong said.
Tian Zhong looked at Geng Chaozhong's expression, as if he was trying to discern whether what he said was true or false. After a moment, Tan Zhong finally spoke in a low voice:
"Omura is the secretary of our Manchuria branch. How do you know him?"
"When I was on a mission in Manchuria, I escaped disaster thanks to his care," Geng Chaozhong looked at Tanaka with a smile, "So, when I heard you singing that song, I decided to save your life."
"You ruined my plan." Tanaka glared at Geng Chaozhong.
"It wasn't me. It would be difficult for you to join the special high school course in such a short time, let alone gain Muto's trust. You should thank me." Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
"You don't know how to lurk at all. Upgrading too quickly can easily arouse suspicion." Tanaka shook his head, looking very stubborn.
"Why are we talking about this?" Geng Chaozhong said speechlessly.
"The reason why you saved me is not so simple." Tanaka's face showed an unprecedented shrewdness. "Tell me, what are your conditions?"
"Okay, there are indeed conditions."
Geng Chaozhong nodded. In fact, his reason for saving Tian Zhong was so simple, but it was obvious that Tan Zhong didn't believe it, and he was also happy about it.
"Originally, I thought Yun Wei was Taro Watanabe," Geng Chaozhong considered his words, "The mission has failed, but since you are the Japanese Communist Party, we have room for cooperation."
"You want me to cover Watanabe and let him continue to lurk?" Tanaka struggled to sit up.
After such a short period of rest, his complexion has improved a lot.
"Yes, your purpose is to lurk, and my purpose is also to lurk. You can definitely cooperate with each other." Geng Chaozhong said.
"Well..." Tanaka muttered, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said:
"Yes, but I will not help you kill the Japanese. They are also victims of this inhumane war. I can help, but I will never kill my own compatriots."
"Of course, I won't force you to do anything. We just cooperate. Everything is an equal exchange." Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
