Beast Tamer: Start from SSS Talent

Chapter 346 Injured

Lu Peng frowned, snorted coldly, took out his dagger and cut the rope.

"Let's go!" Yang Xiuling breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah!" Lu Peng nodded, pulled Yang Xiuling and ran forward with her waist close to the bushes.

The Japanese and puppet troops were walking in a hurry and did not notice the two figures beside the bushes. After they were far away, Lu Peng and Yang Xiuling emerged from the bushes.

The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. They cursed inwardly that they were lucky, and hurriedly moved towards the hillside while the Japanese and puppet troops were not there.

Arriving at the top of the mountain, the sky had darkened. Lu Peng looked across the entire Chu County city. Apart from scattered lights, there was basically no other light. His heart skipped a beat, and he stared at the city suspiciously and asked, "What do you think these are?" How did the Japanese know that we had a large number of support troops ambushed in the valley? "

"Could someone have leaked our plan?" Yang Xiuling retorted.

Lu Peng thought for a while and felt that this possibility was extremely unlikely. He shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. Our people are hiding in secret. Even if someone leaks their whereabouts, the little devil's intelligence system should not be that well-informed."

"That's true." Yang Xiuling nodded, suddenly thought of a possibility, and exclaimed: "Could it be that Wu Yurou leaked the secret?!"

"Does she need to do this?" Lu Peng asked questioningly, and then suddenly realized, "If I guessed correctly, she deliberately exposed her whereabouts. Even if she did leak the news, it was definitely not intentional."

"How is this possible? Do you suspect she has a conspiracy?" Yang Xiuling was even more surprised and said: "I admit that her performance is indeed questionable, but no matter what, she helped us and risked her life. No matter what, In this way, we can't doubt her, this is the bottom line of being a human being!"

Lu Peng didn't say anything anymore and sighed secretly, feeling a little hesitant in his heart.

"Forget it, let's not think about this first. I always feel that things will not be that simple. There will definitely be trouble tonight. We must be more vigilant!" Yang Xiuling thought for a while, changed the subject, and reminded: "By the way, contact the boss immediately Cai and the others, let them take the time to rest and regain their energy before fighting the Japanese again tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!" Lu Peng agreed, took out the radio and dialed Cai Jindou's number.

The call was quickly connected, and before Lu Peng could speak, Cai Jindou took the lead and asked, "Captain Lu, where are you?"

"We just arrived in the south of the city, how are you doing?" Lu Peng asked bluntly.

"What else could we do, the entire army was wiped out." Cai Jindou said with a solemn tone, "We suffered heavy losses this time, especially those new recruits, almost all of whom were sacrificed. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao Lin bought us precious time and succeeded. We won the battle by blowing up the enemy's headquarters and killing the commander!"

"Oh, what's the specific situation?" Lu Peng became interested.

"It's a long story. After we blew up the headquarters, Mr. Xiaolin asked everyone to retreat first and prepare to join us. Unexpectedly, we encountered Japanese reinforcements just after we withdrew from the headquarters. In order to cover our evacuation, Mr. Xiaolin took The wounded stayed behind, but were blocked by the Japanese and fought their way out, but he was injured," Cai Jindou said with a bitter smile.

"What?!" Yang Xiuling was shocked and blurted out.

"Yes, that's what we advised Mr. Xiao Lin, but it's a pity that he didn't listen." Cai Jindou explained helplessly: "Although Mr. Xiao Lin's injury was not serious, he took the initiative to stay behind, so he was shot dead on the spot by the Japs."

"This bastard!" Lu Peng was furious, secretly thinking that his previous judgment was absolutely correct. The Japanese and puppet troops were indeed well prepared. If it were him, he probably wouldn't give up easily.

Thinking of this, Lu Peng felt a pain in his heart. He took a deep breath, suppressed the flames of anger, and said in a deep voice: "You carry out the mission according to the original plan, and we will rush over to find Mr. Xiao Lin immediately."

"Okay!" Cai Jindou agreed.

"Keep in touch!" Lu Peng confessed, hung up the phone, and moved behind another rock on the top of the mountain to observe the situation in Chu County with the help of the night.

Yang Xiuling didn't know why and asked, "Why, Mr. Xiao Lin is in danger?"

"It's okay!" Lu Peng calmed down and comforted: "Don't worry, as long as we arrive at the trench successfully, we will be able to see him. If you guessed correctly, he will definitely encounter a large number of Japanese and puppet troops when he is left alone. , But with his ability, nothing will happen."

"I hope so." Yang Xiuling was noncommittal. She turned around and looked behind her. Seeing the darkness, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Don't worry, we have a car and we'll be there soon." Lu Peng patted his chest and said, took out the map and spread it out. After seeing the location clearly, he looked up at the moonlight and asked, "By the way, you Look, is there a water source near this location?”

"There should be one here." Yang Xiuling scanned the area and said ecstatically: "According to the news from the reconnaissance camp, there is a mountain depression nearby, about five kilometers away from Chuzhou City, which is just right for drinking water."

"Great!" Lu Peng said excitedly, motioning to Yang Xiuling to wait, and then looked down along the edge of the cliff.

He soon discovered the mountain depression, but he was not sure, so he stopped the motorcycle and jumped off the cliff with Yang Xiuling on his back.

After landing, Lu Peng looked around and quickly found a river. After confirming that there was no danger, he quickly checked and found that the river bed was wet and the water level was low, barely drinkable.

"Lu Peng, what are you going to do?" Yang Xiuling saw Lu Peng's thoughts and suddenly became nervous.

Lu Peng squatted down and tentatively stepped his feet into the puddle. It was freezing cold, and his face suddenly changed slightly. He quickly retracted and thought deeply: "The situation is not right. Logically speaking, there should not be such a shallow river bed in this place!"

Yang Xiuling's face froze and she didn't know how to answer. She hesitated and said, "Maybe it's caused by the rainy season during this period. Think about it, this place is remote and uninhabited all year round. It's probably not even aquatic plants..."

"What you said makes sense." Lu Peng agreed with Yang Xiuling's analysis, carefully observed the shape of the river, and continued: "The flow of this river is very weird. It looks like it has rolled down the hillside, or someone dug it out. , If this is the case, this place will not be simple! ”

The more Yang Xiuling listened, the more confused she became. She urged impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. Since there is water, it proves that there are signs of human activity nearby. It would be terrible if the Japanese come after us!"

"Well, the road conditions here are better. Pay attention to your steps and don't fall!" Lu Peng warned and ran quickly towards the river bank.

After walking for about ten minutes, Lu Peng's eyes lit up and he saw a dilapidated courtyard. Before he could get closer, gunshots were heard in the distance.

"No, Mr. Xiao Lin and the others must be exchanging fire!" Upon hearing the gunfire, Yang Xiuling reacted and couldn't help but curse.

Lu Peng didn't say anything and sped up and rushed towards the courtyard.

When he arrived at the courtyard gate, Lu Peng did not rush to open the door and go in. Instead, he leaned on the window and observed carefully.

The house is incomplete, with wooden rubble lying scattered in the corner, revealing traces of desolation. The walls are covered with vines and plants, and a few broken windows can be vaguely seen. Two wooden window lattice can be vaguely recognized, covered with cloth. It was covered with cobwebs and thick dust, and it was hard to see what was going on inside.

Yang Xiuling stood next to Lu Peng, staring at the broken window, frowning: "Did they get attacked?!"

"It's possible." Lu Peng nodded, was silent for a moment, and said: "Whether they are alive or dead, this place is definitely not suitable for staying for a long time. Let's rush there as soon as possible to support them. No matter what, we must save Mr. Xiao Lin from danger, and then as soon as possible Evacuate Chuzhou!”

"Are you sure no one is following you?!" Yang Xiuling asked suspiciously.

"Sure." Lu Peng said firmly: "Do you think these little devils are so full that they come to such a ghost place where they don't shit?"

"It makes sense." Yang Xiuling nodded, suddenly thought of something, and reminded: "But it's so late now, I'm worried that they haven't eaten, and it's almost dawn. I'm afraid that if I delay for too long, the Japanese will be alert. If they take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lu Peng pondered and remained silent. He had to admit that Yang Xiuling was right, but he quickly calmed down and said, "You are right, this is a troublesome matter, but it must be done."

"Are you really planning to take the risk?" Yang Xiuling was startled and said, "I think it's better to forget it. Mr. Xiao Lin is my comrade after all. I can help him avenge his hatred. As for the others, forget it. They will follow me." If we are not relatives, there is no need to die for them.”

"Have you forgotten the purpose of our coming to Chuzhou?" Lu Peng sighed, thinking of Xu Hongru's group of common people.

"This..." Yang Xiuling was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect them to be so important. It seems that I wronged them before!"

"Let's go, time is running out, we must hurry up." Lu Peng said, leading Yang Xiuling through the alley, preparing to climb over the low wall to avoid arousing the enemy's suspicion.

Just after walking behind the wall, Lu Peng was keenly aware of something strange. He frowned slightly and listened for a moment. Then he pulled Yang Xiuling with a solemn expression and hid in the shadows.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xiuling was confused by Lu Peng. She looked at Lu Peng in surprise, thinking that his intuition was not so sensitive.

"Shh!" Lu Peng raised his index finger and said softly: "It seems like someone is coming. Listening to the footsteps, there should be more than one person."

"Ah!?" Yang Xiuling was startled and said in horror: "Could it be that the Japanese are catching up with them?!"

Lu Peng shook his head and signaled Yang Xiuling not to panic and to wait patiently.

Soon the footsteps were approaching, and hearing them getting closer and closer, Lu Peng's palm subconsciously grasped the handle of the gun, preparing to wait for an opportunity to shoot the opponent.

After waiting for a long time, the other party still showed no intention of approaching. Lu Peng couldn't help but wonder, secretly wondering if he had made a mistake in his judgment and the other party was just passing by? !

Although he was very reluctant, Lu Peng decided to postpone his actions and wait patiently for the visitor to go away.

After more than half an hour, the footsteps completely disappeared. Lu Peng breathed a sigh of relief and gave up his original plan. He called Yang Xiuling to continue moving forward. When he reached the end of the village, he found a row of flat-roofed houses made of bricks and stones not far away. It looks like it has been around for a long time and most of it has collapsed.

Lu Peng glanced around and made sure there was no ambush, then called Yang Xiuling over and asked her to help support the injured and unconscious Xiao Lin. He quickly carried him into the room and found a rope to fix it.

"Xiao Lin is seriously injured and needs timely treatment. You should contact Li Yunlong immediately to see if you can get medicine, preferably gauze or something like that." Lu Peng ordered.

"I'll go right away." Yang Xiuling took out the flashlight without any hesitation, walked quickly outside, groped for an open area of ​​ground with the help of the moonlight, and began to send a report to Li Yunlong.

Lu Peng stood by and waited patiently. He found that the Japanese were too lazy to disguise themselves and cover their tracks. In addition, he found several bullet holes.

Not long after, a military vehicle came into view. After it stopped, a familiar face came out of the cab. It was Xu Hongru.

Lu Peng was stunned. Thinking of what Xu Hongru had just said, he thought it was not good and hurried to meet him.

"Little brother, I finally found you!" Xu Hongru saw Lu Peng and shouted excitedly, as if he regarded him as the backbone and walked over quickly.

Lu Peng stopped Xu Hongru, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"To be honest, I just met a group of people on the road. They said they were ordered by Commander Yan to come to Chuzhou City to search for you." After Xu Hongru explained, his face changed drastically, and he said anxiously, "Little brother, why haven't you left yet? Come with me!"

"Commander Yan knows that I am in Chuzhou?" Lu Peng was surprised. He didn't expect Xu Hongru to know his identity, and he didn't expect Yan Xishan to know his identity. He thought it was not good and asked, "Who told you that I was in Chuzhou?"

"I guessed it myself. I don't know the specific situation. Come with me quickly. If it's any later, Xiaolin Jun and others will be in trouble!" After Xu Hongru finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Peng out.

Lu Peng didn't move, and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not wrong, it should be Commander Liu and others who sent them to find me."

"This..." Xu Hongru hesitated.

Lu Peng knew what he was worried about, and comforted him: "Since Commander Liu and his men dared to come to Chuzhou to find me, it means that they have no ill intentions. Besides, you have also seen that we are in a cooperative relationship and it is impossible for them to harm me. You should go back first to avoid worrying them."

"This..." Xu Hongru was embarrassed for a while, thought about it, and said helplessly: "Okay, don't be impulsive. Xiaolin Jun and his men are all seriously injured. You have to hurry up and find someone to take care of them."

"No problem!" Lu Peng solemnly agreed and waved to Xu Hongru.

Seeing Xu Hongru leave, Lu Peng walked quickly to the outside of the village. Not far away, he heard dense footsteps coming from a distance. His heart skipped a beat and he secretly said that it was bad.

Sure enough, several Japanese soldiers wearing black clothes, masked their faces, and fully armed came from a distance, holding Type 38 rifles, and quickly ran towards Lu Peng's position.

Without thinking too much, Lu Peng knew that these Japanese soldiers were definitely coming for him. He cursed himself for being careless and underestimating the Japanese army's anti-reconnaissance awareness. It seemed that he would not be able to sneak into the village smoothly tonight. He could only change his plan and evacuate as soon as possible.

The Japanese army did not discover Lu Peng's presence.
