Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Wokou's Earth-Shattering Secret

  The train whizzed by, and the strong wind blew so hard that the wokou's eyes couldn't be opened. I pulled the wokou back into the carriage with force, and at the same time, I dislocated both of his shoulder joints. Then, taking advantage of the momentum, I took down his waistband and tied up his hands and feet. I had to prevent him from hurting anyone again, so I had no choice but to make him lose his ability to move.

  At this time, a Wanlonghui person came over with a quivering voice and said in a low voice: "I... I'll help you tie them up..."

  I smiled slightly: "Then I'll trouble you. Now I'm going to catch the last pirate, you help me tie them up, tie them tightly."

  Regardless of whether the Wanlonghui people can really help me tie up those Japanese pirates, I rushed to the fifth carriage from the back. There was another pirate there, and I couldn't let him escape.

  I had already informed the soldiers of the Hu Long Regiment on the vehicle, and I believed they had also taken some action, but I was worried that they were not a match for those Japanese bandits, so I hurried to lend a hand.

  The crowd of people rushing around blocked the car in front of me, I was anxious and didn't care about shocking anyone, I directly jumped up, grabbed the luggage rack on both sides of the train carriage, slightly borrowed force, and flew out into the air. I stuck to the top of the carriage and flew to the door, slightly exerted some effort, squeezed open the crowd blocking the door, and disappeared from people's sight.

  I rushed to the fifth carriage from the end at an extremely fast speed, when the crowd in chaos had not yet run to this carriage, nor had they startled that Japanese bandit.

  I had barely stood firm when I struck at the Japanese pirate. A straight punch, directly hitting the Japanese pirate's vital part in front of his chest. If this punch hit the Japanese pirate, he would immediately lose his combat effectiveness.

  Unfortunately, the strength of this pirate far exceeded that of the four pirates from earlier. In an instant, he vanished into thin air. I was caught off guard and my fist struck nothing but air. At this moment, a flash of light streaked across my eyes. I rushed forward hastily, feeling a sharp pain in my waist, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

  It turned out that this Japanese pirate was extremely powerful, and it seemed to be the leader of these five Japanese pirates. He took advantage of my missed punch and drew his sword to attack my waist, almost sending me to see King Yan.

  I looked at the bloodstain on my waist, raised my head and glanced at the middle-aged Japanese pirate in front of me, saying: "Good swordsmanship. However, you're not going to escape today, so why don't you just surrender?"

  The middle-aged Japanese pirate sneered and didn't say a word. He raised the samurai sword in his hand, charging straight at me with a vertical slash.

  I dodged immediately and counterattacked at once. I had no weapon, so I could only defend against the strong attack with empty hands, either blocking or evading, not letting the middle-aged pirate's knife hurt me again. But this way, I also didn't have much chance to strike back at the middle-aged pirate. We ended up in a stalemate, neither of us able to gain the upper hand.

  I've basically used up all my skills, using every martial arts move I learned from Wudang. I also didn't forget to mobilize the true energy inside my body, wanting to give this middle-aged Japanese pirate a heavy blow.

  I don't know if it's my inexperience or insufficient skill, but this middle-aged Japanese pirate somehow blocked my attack and occasionally gave me a knife, forcing me to be constantly on guard against his unpredictable swordsmanship.

  Due to our fight, the passengers in this carriage almost all ran away. So I fought while retreating, and retreated all the way to the door of the carriage. Then, I suddenly turned my hand over and pushed open the tightly closed middle-aged Japanese pirate with one palm, and then quickly pulled down the door panel from the top of the carriage.

  The iron plate on the carriage door was not very useful, but because it was made of iron, I could use it as a shield to block the samurai sword of the middle-aged Japanese pirate. With the iron plate in hand, I immediately stopped retreating and instead took a step forward, swinging the iron plate towards the face of the middle-aged Japanese pirate.

  The middle-aged Japanese pirate didn't dare to take my move head-on, and retreated a step back. I took advantage of the momentum to charge forward, with one board meeting another in an attack on the middle-aged Japanese pirate, not giving him any chance to counterattack.

  Under my crazy attack, the middle-aged wokou slowly retreated to the other door of the carriage. Next, he had nowhere to retreat, so I swung the board in my hand, mobilized the true energy in my body, and attacked him with all my might.

  The middle-aged Japanese pirate's face changed greatly, and he also exerted himself to raise his knife and slash at me. The weapons of the two of us came into contact, and a shrill metallic friction sound immediately rang out. The samurai sword was very sharp and actually split open the iron door panel in my hand. However, this middle-aged Japanese pirate's strength was slightly weaker, and after splitting open one-third of the door panel, the samurai sword stopped its downward slashing momentum due to lack of power. Sweat flowed down from my forehead, and this samurai sword was only less than five centimeters away from my forehead. If this middle-aged Japanese pirate had a bit more strength, it might have split open the door panel in one slash, taking my head along with it.

  But the world's affairs don't have an "if" to say, the middle-aged wokou couldn't hurt me, I immediately took the opportunity to charge at him with all my might, the door board in my hand directly collided with his chest, making him spit out a big mouthful of blood.

  I knew my own strength and also knew that this middle-aged pirate had already suffered a severe injury from the collision. So I took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack, using the door panel as a weapon, striking the injured pirate's wound again, causing him to lose all resistance.

  However, I used a bit too much force, and this blow actually made the middle-aged wokou spit out blood continuously, it seems that he won't survive.

  A strange feeling suddenly rose up in my heart, and the whole person seemed to be affected. I had a good bout of nausea. I wasn't one who hadn't seen dead people, nor was I one who hadn't killed before, but the feeling of killing with my own hands still made me very uncomfortable.

  Although I didn't intentionally kill this middle-aged pirate, it was still because my hand was too heavy that I ended up killing him. So I feel really bad and don't even want to look at the middle-aged pirate again.

  There was no one else around, I put down the door panel in my hand, gritted my teeth and went up to see this middle-aged wokou who only had his last breath left, and couldn't help but say: "Why did you have to come to our country to make trouble? Wanting to defeat us, isn't it something that your small wokou country can do...?"

  The middle-aged wokou suddenly opened his mouth and said, "We will thoroughly defeat you, one day..." His words were not finished, because as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, a lot of fresh blood came out from the inside, making him unable to continue speaking. Moreover, this blood also blocked his already very weak breathing, and he really died.

  I secretly sighed, but didn't have any sympathy for him. The Japanese pirates came to our place and did countless cruel things, now being killed by me is also a deserved punishment.

  At this time, the Hu Long Lian warriors who had just arrived looked at the carriage that I and the middle-aged Wokou had destroyed, and they all clicked their tongues in amazement. They proactively went to collect the corpse of the dead middle-aged Wokou.

  I was about to return to the front carriage when I heard a soldier say, "Comrade instructor, we found a letter on the Japanese bandit's body. Please take a look!"

  I took the letter and opened it, but it was written in Japanese characters, which I couldn't read at all. So I took the letter back to the carriage where the scientists were, pulled Chen Jing aside, and handed her the letter: "Take a look at this. It was found on the Japanese pirate's body and should be very important."

  Chen Jing took over the letter, looked at me with a puzzled expression, and suddenly exclaimed: "Are you hurt? Are you okay? Do you want me to call a doctor?"

  I glanced at the bloodstain on my face and smiled, "It's just a minor flesh wound, nothing serious. You take a look at this letter first, if there's any important information, we can't afford to miss it."

  Chen Jing looked at me with some concern, saw me smile slightly at her, and then put down her mind to start reading the letter found on the middle-aged pirate.

  After a while, Chen Jing said: "This is a letter written in code, I believe it's very important. I can't decipher the code of this letter, and it needs to be handed over to the experts in the military department for deciphering."

  I nodded: "Then pass it on to the experts in the military department and let them decipher it as soon as possible. I'm worried that there might be some major secrets hidden in this letter, we need to know the contents of the letter as soon as possible."

  Chen Jing nodded slightly and suddenly reached out to pull me, saying: "We have a military doctor, let's go get you bandaged first."

  I then knew the contents of the letter and said: "I can go find a military doctor myself, you should hurry up and pass the letter to the Ministry of War for deciphering."

  Chen Jing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Why are you in such a hurry? I rarely take the initiative to help you, since you don't want me to help you, I'll go busy myself."

  I was also stunned, and immediately regretted it, wishing I could slap myself. Chen Jing finally accompanied me for once, but I let her down... Alas, it seems I still wasn't sincere enough, or else how would I have missed such a good opportunity?

  As I watched Chen Jing walk away, I had no choice but to go find the military doctor myself. This military doctor was a genuine high-achiever from a medical university, studying Western medicine, with exceptional medical skills. Seeing that my injury was on my waist, he directly told me: "Instructor, please take off your outer garment, so I can suture your wound."

  I nodded, took off my outer garment, and was about to ask how my injury was when I heard the doctor say in surprise: "There's so much blood, I thought it was a serious injury. It turns out it's just a small wound that has already scabbed over and doesn't need stitches."

  I'm also very strange: just now I was cut by that middle-aged pirate, the wound is very big, how can it scab in such a short time? Is it related to genetic medicine? I thought of this, immediately put on my clothes and said to the military doctor: "Then don't bother you. I have something to do, let's go first."

  The military doctor said hastily: "Although no sutures are needed, you still need to be careful not to touch the wound and avoid secondary bleeding. Also, I'll prescribe some anti-infective medicine for you..."

  The military doctor didn't finish what he was saying because at that time I had already left the suite where the military doctor was and returned to my command suite.

  Chen Jing was in this private room at that time, and when she saw me arrive, she immediately asked: "How's your injury?"

  "I smiled: 'A little injury, it's nothing serious.' I paused for a moment: 'What did that letter say?'"

  Chen Jing shook her head: "The experts in the military department are deciphering it, and it may take several hours to get the results."

  I let out an "oh" and suddenly remembered the four Japanese pirates we had captured, as well as that person from the Wanlong Society. I told Chen Jing: "I'll go interrogate our prisoners, you keep an eye on things here."

  Chen Jing responded with a "yes" and saw me out of the private room.

  I arrived at the box where four Japanese pirates were being held, and immediately saw the four Japanese pirates who were tightly bound, as well as the man from the Wanlong Society standing guard with an iron rod.

  When he saw me, Wan Long stepped forward and said: "Instructor, I've brought them all here. Look, they're tied up quite well, aren't they?"

  I couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, I'll plead for you and try to get you a lenient sentence. Now go out first, I need to interrogate them."

  The man from Wanlong Association excitedly said: "I understand Japanese and can be your translator. They may not necessarily speak the Hua Xia language."

  I thought so too, and nodded: "Then you can stay. First ask them what they came to our country for?"

  "This man, Ding Hui, looked at me and said: 'Can the instructor let me join you? I'm very good at mobile intelligence. I used to be in the army for two years, back then I was a scout.'"

  I was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Alright, we're actually short of intelligence personnel. Once this is over, I'll ask the commander to apply for your transfer to our Dragon Guard Regiment as an intelligence officer."

  Ding Hui was overjoyed and immediately said: "Then let's settle it like this. Instructor, I'll ask them about the purpose of their visit to our country."

  Ding Hui translated my words, and even threatened those four Japanese pirates to tell the truth. As a result, those four Japanese pirates didn't care about Ding Hui at all, which made Ding Hui so angry that he almost really beat them up with the iron rod in his hand.

  I can see that these four Japanese pirates are extremely cunning and their minds are not ordinary, if we force them, it's possible that we won't be able to get any information out of them. So I had an idea, I remembered a book that described an interrogation method, the method was very effective and also very direct.

  So I pulled Ding Hui out of the package, and whispered to Ding Hui: "I think these people are all hard bones, can't come hard. Why don't we learn from others' interrogation methods? You first give them food and water, after they eat their fill, then let them listen to music or watch movies. After they're happy, ask them if they want to go home."

  Ding Hui smiled and said, "This is indeed a very unusual interrogation method, which should be quite effective against ordinary people. However, these Japanese pirates have undergone rigorous training, and if we do it this way, I'm afraid they will only find it laughable. I have a better plan that can make them reveal everything."

  "What's the solution? Can't just threaten and torture all the time, if the higher-ups find out, they'll blame us."

  Ding Hui shook his head: "My method is not one of those ordinary methods, don't ask, I guarantee that within an hour, they will tell us all the information. It's just that in this hour, I want to interrogate them alone, does the instructor have any questions?"

  I shook my head: "Let's do it your way. I'll go take a look at other things and come back to ask you about the result in an hour." I turned around and left, as if I had already completely trusted Ding Hui, the member of the Wanlonghui who had just defected.

  Actually, I'm not very interested in those four Japanese pirates, they're just small roles, and even if we know more about them, it won't be of much use. Anyway, now that I've got the encrypted letter, I believe the military will crack the code soon. Even if Ding Hui lets these four Japanese pirates go or kills them, our loss won't be great. On the contrary, I can thoroughly understand Ding Hui and know whether he can be arranged to join the Hu Long Squad.

  Back in the "command room", Chen Jing hadn't left yet. Seeing me return, she immediately smiled: "Can't understand what the Japanese are saying? Want me to go translate for you? I've been waiting a long time, let's go with you. You have strong combat skills, but without me... this chief of staff is still not good enough."

  I was taken aback, but then I also laughed: "No need. I've already found someone who understands Japanese and is interrogating the pirates. I'm not leaving you, but it's not because of fighting... Hehe, you know why."

  Chen Jing's face showed a slight surprise, and she immediately said: "As far as I know, there is no one in our Long Dragon Regiment who understands Japanese, you..."

  I smiled and said: "It's a man named Ding Hui from the Wanlong Association, who has now defected to our Hudragon Regiment. He speaks Japanese and is also an intelligence officer, so this matter will be handled by him."

  Chen Jing said "oh" and slowly sat down, saying: "Then how can you be certain that this Ding Hui is really willing to surrender to our Hu Long Lian?"

  "I said solemnly: 'This is just a hunch of mine, and it's also a test for Ding Hui. No matter what the outcome is, I...I will take responsibility.'"

  Chen Jing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, at worst those few Japanese pirates will be killed or escape. When we report the military situation, just say we didn't catch them and that's it."

  I was stunned and couldn't help but say: "I didn't think you'd lie too..."

  Chen Jing's face turned red again, and she hastily said: "How could I lie to you? It's just that I didn't want Grandfather to scold you... Don't be ungrateful."

  I immediately laughed and said, "I know, my good...good Chief of Staff." I originally intended to say "good Jing'er", but seeing Chen Jing's face seemed to change, I quickly changed my words.

  Chen Jing could naturally understand what I meant and said without any hesitation: "We are just ordinary friends, don't talk nonsense."

  I nodded helplessly and changed the subject, saying: "Now that we've basically found and eliminated all the enemies on the train, the rest of the journey should be relatively safe. Why don't you take a rest first? I'll call for you when we arrive in Wuhan."

  Chen Jing shook her head: "There may be enemies among the passengers on the bus, we just haven't found them yet. I can't rest, I still need to be vigilant against enemy sabotage. Besides, those scientists, although many have rested, there are some night owls who won't rest at night, and I still need to keep an eye on them!"

  I smiled lightly: "I'll take care of these things, you can rest assured. If anything happens, I'll go call you, that's okay?"

  Chen Jing thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly, saying in a low voice: "Then I'll rest here for a while. If there's anything, you can call me." As she spoke, she lay down on the sofa in this VIP room, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

  I waited for a while, and when she seemed to have fallen asleep, I took off the clothes that still had bloodstains on them and covered her with them, then quietly walked out of the command room.

  As I entered the carriage where the scientists were, I was about to talk to a few scientists who had not rested yet when I heard the communication squad's warriors calling me.

  I knew there was something in that letter, so I rushed over.

  The warrior of the communication class immediately said to me: "Instructor, the military department has just sent a notice saying that the letter may need special methods to crack it, and we will wait for another day."

  I frowned and said: "Ask them to speed up, I always feel that something big is going to happen, we... may not have so much time left."

  The warrior responded with a sound and sat down to contact the military department.

  I secretly sighed in admiration at the excellent intelligence work of the Japanese pirates, whose codes even our experts couldn't decipher in time.

  Thinking of the Japanese pirates, I also thought of Ding Hui, so I came to the outside of the box where Ding Hui interrogated the four Japanese pirates, stretched out my hand and knocked on the door: "Ding Hui, is there a result?"

  As I heard Ding Hui walking over to open the door, he stuck out half of his head and looked at me with a smile, saying: "They are writing down all the information they know, probably still need to wait for a while."

  I nodded: "I'll just wait here, and you can call me when they're done."

  Ding Hui smiled and responded with a "yes", then retreated. I heard him speaking in Japanese to the Wokou, presumably telling them to speed up.

  I was just about to turn around and look around when I heard Ding Hui's astonished cry: "What? You guys want..."

  I didn't have time to think much, and immediately rushed into the private room. At a glance, I saw Ding Hui standing stupidly in the private room, still holding a piece of paper filled with handwriting. I immediately asked him: "What did you find?"

  Ding Hui looked at me with a face full of shock and fear, his voice also becoming somewhat hoarse: "They... they want to attack... the Three Gorges Dam..."

  Suddenly a "buzz" sounded in my brain, and then I snatched the paper from Ding Hui's hand and shouted loudly: "What time is it?"

  Ding Hui suddenly came back to his senses and said loudly: "It's just tonight... no, it's 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, only less than four hours from now..."

  "I frowned and said: 'What means are they going to use?'"

  Ding Hui swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Nuclear bomb!"

  "What? How is that possible? Where did they get nuclear bombs from? Did you translate it wrong?"

  Ding Hui pointed at the paper in my hand and said very confidently: "I've taken a close look, there's no mistake, it's an atomic bomb."

  I didn't dare ask anything more and rushed straight to the command room, shouting: "Chen Jing, wake up quickly..."
