Chapter 62: Rescue (Part 2)

  Gu Hao was stunned for a moment, seemingly forgetting why he had come here.

  Dong Li Mao had secretly watched Japanese-made videos online before, and what he saw now was not much different, only the environment and lighting were different.

  Dong Li Mao poked Gou Hao and pointed to the left, then pointed to the right, using hand gestures to tell him that he was in charge of the left side and Dong would take care of the right side.

  Gou Hao was still in a daze, mechanically nodding his head. Dong Li Mao thought he understood and pulled out the machete from behind him. As he stepped onto the wooden steps of the thatched hut, he kicked open the door made of woven bamboo with one foot.

  Inside, eight naked men heard the commotion and turned their faces towards Dong Li Mao who rushed in, shocked to a standstill.

  Dong Li Mao rushed into the thatched hut and, without using his knife to chop at the four men closest to the door, instead charged towards the four men in the back. This was what he had agreed upon with Gou Hao - the four by the door, or on the left side, would be handled by Gou Hao, while the four in the back, or on the right side as seen from outside the window, would be his.

  At this time, two of the four men inside who were kneeling at the woman's head position stood up first. Dong Li Mao allowed them to make a move, and with his right hand holding a knife, he slashed at the neck of one of the men who was about to shout loudly, cutting off that person's head on the grass-covered ground. The man who had lost his head still stood upright without falling down, and a stream of hot blood spurted out like a black-red fountain, shooting straight up to the roof. The severed head that fell onto the grassy ground still had its mouth wide open, as if it was still trying to shout. Almost simultaneously, Dong Li Mao's left hand holding a military knife made a swift slash to the right, cutting open another man's throat. That person tried to press his hands against his slit neck, but fresh blood kept spouting out from between his fingers, and he couldn't utter a word due to his mouth making only "wu wu" sounds. Next, Dong Li Mao kicked out with one foot, striking the lower abdomen of the man who had just stood up between the woman's legs. His kick landed right on the man's exposed private parts, which were still wet and erect after having just withdrawn from the woman's body. The force of the kick sent him flying into the wall made of wooden planks. Without hesitation, Dong Li Mao used his right hand to slash down at the last man who was trying to stand up, cutting open his back along with his spine. He then crawled onto the woman's body and thrust a few more times before finally stopping.

  Four naked men were almost simultaneously kicked down by Dong Limao, one of whom was not dead after being kicked. Dong Limao took a step forward and split his half-head with a machete, splashing white brains onto Dong Limao's face.

  Just as Dong Li Mao rushed into the thatched hut, Gou Hao followed him and also rushed in. He only had a military knife in his hand, without an axe, and his head was still dizzy. After entering the door, he didn't know what to do, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the woman's body lying on the straw. The four men shouted in unison and stood up to pounce on him.

  Dong Li Mao neatly disposed of the four men inside, and just as he turned around, he saw the four men at the door rushing towards Gu Hao, who was standing there in a daze. Dong Li Mao let out a loud shout and flew over to them, his right hand chopping down with his knife and slashing open the belly of one of the men who had just turned around, causing intestinal fluid and writhing intestines to spill out. Dong Li Mao didn't care what was flowing out of him, and like a wolf, he continued to slash at another man's back from top to bottom, splitting it open, and that person fell to the ground, letting out two cries before lying still.

  The two women almost simultaneously let out a scream and shrank into a corner of the thatched hut, trembling with fear.

  Gou Hao seemed to have come to his senses when Dong Li Mao cut open one of the Japanese devils' bellies. He stabbed a devil in the chest with the military knife in his hand, and pinched the neck of another devil who was hugging him, only to hear a cracking sound, that devil's neck was pinched off by his two hands, and fell limp on the grass.

  From the moment Dong Li Mao rushed into the thatched cottage to the end of the battle, his movements were incredibly fast, even Dong Li Mao himself couldn't believe that his own hands could be so ruthless, accurate and swift, almost not giving the Japanese devils in the house a chance to breathe. He stood there, holding the blood-stained chopping knife upside down, surveying the room as if he was dreaming.

  "What about them... what will happen to them?" Gu Hao asked, pointing at the two women who were still cowering in terror in a corner of the room.

  "Oh..." Dong Li Mao finally came back to his senses, glanced at the two women and said: "Find them some clothes to wear."

  At this time, Bald Horse and his two subordinates rushed into the thatched cottage.

  "Big brother, those two Japanese macaques over there have been taken care of!" Bald Horse said to Dong Li Mao after glancing at the woman who was shrinking into the corner.

  "They seem to be Burmese women, ask them if there are any other devils around here?" Dong Li Mao instructed Guangtou Ma, then walked out of the thatched hut and beckoned to the people in the distance, letting them come over.

  Li Yuanyuan and the five of them quickly ran to the front of the thatched cottage with their waists bent.

  Seeing Dong Li Maoheng's bloody body, Li Yuanyuan asked with concern: "Jiacheng, are you injured?"

  Dong Li Mao threw down the machete, wiped his wet and sticky face with his hand, but instead smeared the blood on his face all over it, grinning from ear to ear, looking even more terrifying.

  "I actually chopped down six devils with a knife!" Dong Limao said, his right thumb and little finger raised.

  "Let's hurry up!" Li Yuanyuan said, wrinkling her nose as she smelled the bloody smell on Dong Limao's body.

  "Wait a minute, there are two more women, what should we do?" Dong Li Mao said, looking around the room.

  "Two women?" Li Yuanyuan furrowed her brow and rushed into the house.

  Eight people were lying down in the thatched hut, the whole house was filled with a bloody smell, and Guang Tou Ma was talking to two women who had already dressed up.

  Before long, everyone came out of the thatched cottage, including those two women.

  "Big brother, they are willing to go back to the mountain stronghold with me." Bald-headed Ma told Dong Li Mao: "They also said that except for the Japanese devils and cannons on both sides of the mountain, there are no checkpoints ahead. They were captured by the Japanese devils and taken to the mountain, where many other women were also being held captive. The Japanese devils treated them as tools for their lust!"

  "Japanese devils are not human! Commander, lead us to charge up the mountain and rescue those captured women!" Kou Hao, this iron man, actually choked out such words, it can be seen that what he saw earlier had a huge impact on his heart.

  "We'll rescue them sooner or later, but not now!" Dong Li Mao patted Gou Hao's shoulder and then said to Bald Horse: "Brother Ma, thank you, let's part ways here. It's almost dawn, you should return to the mountain stronghold and take good care of these two unfortunate women."

  "Big brother, if one day you're bullied by an officer in the army, Bald Horse will welcome you to join us anytime." Bald Horse clenched his fists and said: "Farewell, big brother!"

  Looking at the silhouette of Guang Tou Ma in the dark night, Dong Li Mao thought: Is everything I've experienced what Tai Ye Ye had personally experienced before? How can I become more and more unlike myself? After killing so many people, I'm not afraid at all, but instead feel that killing is justifiable, like playing a game that's very enjoyable. Have I really become a killer? How many devils did Tai Ye Ye kill...

  "Jia Cheng, let's go." Li Yuanyuan saw Dong Limao spacing out and walked up to pull his hand.

  "Well, it's time to hit the road." Dong Limao repeated.

  Dong Li Mao and Gou Hao walked in the front, Xu Hong Ming covered the rear.

  "Gu Hao, what's wrong with you just now? Almost messed up the whole thing." Dong Limao asked while walking.

  "I...". Gu Hao endured for a moment, but still said: "I haven't seen any scene like this before, so..."

  "Afterwards, you may often see that the Japanese devils used a method to alleviate the psychological pressure of war on frontline soldiers. They would gather large numbers of local women to serve frontline soldiers wherever they went, and even sent their own sisters to the front lines to comfort the soldiers. They called it 'comfort', but in reality, it was just an outlet for their beastly desires."

  "Damn it, Japanese devils, they're really not human!" Gou Hao gritted his teeth and said.

  "War makes people lose their humanity and return to their animal nature. It's not just the little devils who are inhumane, we're no better. Look at me, I'm still covered in human blood." Dong Li Mao spoke lightly, but his words made others feel nauseous.

  "Anyway, it's actually quite carefree to be a bandit like Guang Tou Ma. Why bother going back to the troops? We can just do our own thing like him!" Gou Hao said with some naivety: "You be the Mountain King, we brothers will follow you. With all this gold on us, won't we be able to buy guns?" Gou Hao patted the gold bars in his pockets and waist.

  "That's thievery, not something men should do! From now on, don't mention being a bandit in front of me again! I'm warning you, if you still have ideas about the gold bars on your body, get rid of them early, otherwise, I'll be the first to take care of you!" Dong Li Mao stopped in his tracks, staring at Gou Hao and also saying to the others: "This is what overseas Chinese have donated through frugal living for the war effort!"
