Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

The soldiers also rushed into the cold storage and opened fire at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang hid behind a row of boxes, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

He had no weapons, his only advantages being his familiarity with the terrain and his ability to surprise.

He grabbed a metal box and threw it at the incoming soldiers.

"boom!"

The box hit the soldier with a dull thud, and the soldier screamed and fell to the ground.

Lu Yang took the opportunity to rush towards another soldier, snatched the gun from his hand, and began to fight back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of gunfire echoed in the cold storage, and soldiers fell one after another.

But the number of enemies was too large and their firepower was too strong, and Lu Yang gradually felt overwhelmed.

He had multiple injuries on his body and his clothes were stained with blood.

By destroying these "seeds", a huge disaster can be prevented.

"Lu Yangjun, give up, you can't escape." Matsumoto stood at the door of the cold storage and looked at him coldly.

"You want me to give up? Unless I die!" Lu Yang roared and rushed towards the metal boxes again.

At this moment, the muzzle of a cold gun was pressed against the back of his head.

"Don't move! I'll shoot if you move again!" A cold voice sounded in his ears.

Lu Yang was desperate.

Is everything going to end?

At the critical moment, a crisp gunshot broke the silence.

The muzzle of the gun, which was pressed against the back of Lu Yang's head, dropped down weakly.

"Lu Yang, let me help you!"

A familiar voice sounded in the cold storage.

Lu Yang turned around suddenly and saw a petite figure standing at the door, holding a pistol that was still smoking, with a determined expression on her face.

It’s Lin Wei!

How could Lin Wei appear here? !

"Hurry up! I'll cover you!" Lin Wei shouted at Lu Yang.

"Are you crazy? It's too dangerous here!" Lu Yang said anxiously.

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!" Lin Wei raised her gun again and shot at the soldiers rushing towards her.

Lu Yang knew that now was not the time to hesitate. He couldn't let Lin Wei's sacrifice go to waste.

He took a deep breath and rushed towards the metal boxes again.

He wants to destroy these "seeds" for Shanghai, for China, and for all innocent people!

"Lu Yang, let me help you!" Lin Wei's petite body seemed to contain infinite power. The gunshot in her hand was like the scythe of the god of death, reaping the lives of Japanese soldiers.

"Hurry up! I'll cover you!" Lin Wei's eyes were firm, without any hesitation.

"Are you crazy? It's too dangerous here!" Lu Yang was anxious. How could he let Lin Wei take risks for him?

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go! Do you want my sacrifice to be in vain?" Lin Wei shouted, raised her gun again, and covered Lu Yang.

Lu Yang gritted his teeth. He knew Lin Wei was right. Now was not the time to be fussy. He was running out of time! He had to destroy these "seeds" as soon as possible to be worthy of Lin Wei's efforts.

"Be careful!" Lu Yang threw down a word and turned to rush towards the silver-white metal boxes.

He picked up a box and smashed it to the ground.

"boom!"

The box was smashed open, revealing a glass container filled with liquid.

The liquid was a strange green color and had a sickening odor.

Lu Yang picked up another box without hesitation and did the same thing.

More and more boxes were smashed open, green liquid flowed on the floor of the cold storage, and the air was filled with suffocating poisonous gas.

"Stop him! Stop him quickly!" Matsumoto shouted at the top of his lungs outside, but he didn't dare to get close. The green liquid made him feel an inexplicable fear.

The gun in Lin Wei's hand was empty. She retreated to Lu Yang's side, back to back, and looked around vigilantly.

"Lu Yang, what should we do next?" Lin Wei asked breathlessly.

"Smash the remaining boxes!" Lu Yang said in a deep voice.

The two worked side by side, smashing open the remaining boxes one by one.

Soon, all the boxes were destroyed, and the green liquid flowed all over the cold storage like lava from hell.

"Lu Yang, let's go!" Lin Wei took Lu Yang's hand and ran out of the cold storage.

But as soon as they ran to the door, they were surrounded by a group of Japanese soldiers.

"You have no way to escape!" Matsumoto said with a sneer, his eyes full of joy of victory.

"Really? That's not necessarily true!" Lu Yang sneered and suddenly took out something from his arms and threw it to the ground.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the entire cold storage shook violently.

What Lu Yang threw out was a grenade!

Before rushing into the cold storage, he had already made preparations to fight to the death. He wanted to bury these "seeds" and these Japanese soldiers here together!

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the explosion, Lu Yang pulled Lin Wei and rushed out of the warehouse.

The warehouse was in chaos, and the soldiers were panicking and fleeing in all directions.

Lu Yang and Lin Wei took the opportunity to blend into the crowd and ran towards the warehouse gate.

"Don't let them run away! Chase them!" Matsumoto shouted frantically from behind.

But at this moment, he was no longer able to stop Lu Yang and Lin Wei from escaping.

The two rushed out of the warehouse door, breathing in the fresh air, feeling reborn.

"Where are we going now?" Lin Wei asked.

"Go find Zhou Qing! He must be trying to contact us." Lu Yang said in a deep voice.

Just then, a black car suddenly stopped in front of them, the door opened, and a familiar voice came out.

"Lu Yang, get in the car!"

It’s Qinglan!

Why is Qinglan here? !

Lu Yang didn't have time to think about it. He pulled Lin Wei and got into the car.

"Hurry up! Get out of here!" Lu Yang urged.

Qinglan stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out like an arrow.

"Why are you here?" Lu Yang asked.

"It was a kind-hearted... gentleman... who informed me of the situation here through the radio broadcast and asked me to come and pick you up." Qinglan explained while driving. She seemed to deliberately avoid revealing more information.

That enthusiastic gentleman... Lu Yang's heart moved, and he probably guessed who it was.

"Where are we going now?" Qinglan asked.

"Let's go to the safe house! We have people there who can help us." Lu Yang said.

Qinglan nodded and drove towards the safe house.

The car sped through the streets of Shanghai, evading the pursuit of the Japanese army.

Lu Yang knew that they were not out of danger yet.

Matsumoto won't let them off easily.

However, he believed that as long as they united as one, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and complete their mission!

The car sped along the dimly lit street, Qinglan gripping the steering wheel tightly, his expression serious. The headlights, like two sharp swords, pierced the silence of the night and illuminated Lu Yang's solemn face.

"Who is that gentleman?" Lu Yang broke the silence. He needed to confirm his guess.

Qing Lan glanced at him, wanting to speak but stopping herself. "It was a kind-hearted person...whose name I cannot reveal. He passed the message to me through...special channels...and told me to come and meet you no matter what."

"Special channel?" Lu Yang frowned slightly. He knew Qing Lan was hiding something, but now wasn't the time to ask. "Regardless, I want to thank this... enthusiastic person... for their help."

"Of course, I will." Qinglan nodded.

The vehicle drove into a secluded alley and finally stopped in front of an old Shikumen building.

"This is it. This is the safe house arranged by the organization where we can stay temporarily." Qinglan turned off the engine.

Lu Yang opened the car door, jumped out, and looked around vigilantly.

Outside the Shikumen, it was pitch black, with only the faint barking of dogs in the distance making the place even quieter.

"Let's go and talk inside." Lu Yang said.

The three of them entered the Shikumen house, and Qinglan opened the door lock skillfully.

Inside the house, a musty smell filled the air, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

Lu Yang turned on the kerosene lamp, and the dim light illuminated the small room.

The room only had a few simple pieces of furniture: a bed, a table, and a few chairs, and it looked empty.

"It's relatively safe here, we can take a break for a while." Lu Yang said.

"I'll arrange the alert." After Qinglan said that, he walked to the window, pulled open a corner of the curtain, and observed the movements outside.

"Lu Yang, what should we do next?" Lin Wei asked. Her face was tired, but her eyes were still firm.

Lu Yang walked over to the table, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath. "The Jing'an Temple warehouse incident must be reported to the organization as soon as possible. And... that Matsumoto Shixiong... the news that he's alive is extremely important."

"But now there are Japanese spies everywhere in Shanghai, and it is difficult for us to find a safe way to communicate." Lin Wei said worriedly.

"There's always a way." Lu Yang exhaled a puff of smoke, a flicker of determination in his eyes. "By the way, where's Wanru? How is she now?"

Qing Lan lowered the curtains and walked over to Lu Yang. "Miss Ye... I haven't heard from her since we last parted. I'm worried about her... I'm afraid she's..."

Lu Yang's heart sank. Ye Wanru had risked her life alone to deliver the message. If she had really...

He didn't dare to think about it.

"No, I don't believe it. Wanru is so smart, she will be fine." Lu Yang said in a firm tone. He forced himself to calm down and not let pessimism affect his judgment.

At this moment, a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Who?!" Qinglan asked immediately vigilantly, with the gun in his hand already loaded.

"It's me, Zhou Qing!" Zhou Qing's voice came from outside the door.

Lu Yang and Lin Wei looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Qinglan opened the door and Zhou Qing walked in quickly, looking anxious.

"Boss, something happened! Our safe house on Xiafei Road... was discovered by the Japanese!" Zhou Qing said breathlessly.

"What?!" Lu Yang's face changed. "How could it be so fast?"

"The details are still unclear, but... the Japanese have begun a city-wide search, and the target... is very likely us!" Zhou Qing said.

Lu Yang's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that Matsumoto Zhixiong's actions were faster than he had imagined.

"We can't stay here anymore! We must move immediately!" Lu Yang said decisively.

"But now Shanghai is full of Japanese spies. Where can we go?" Lin Wei asked worriedly.

"Let's go to the French Concession!" Lu Yang said solemnly. "That's Shanghai's last safe haven. Perhaps... we can find a glimmer of hope."

Just as they were about to leave, there was a sudden burst of noisy footsteps and shouting in Japanese outside the door.

"Oh no! The Japanese are chasing us!" Qinglan's face changed drastically.

"Hurry! Go through the back door!" Lu Yang immediately ordered.

The four of them quickly rushed to the back door, but it was too late.

The back door was surrounded by a group of Japanese soldiers.

"You are surrounded! Surrender!" a Japanese officer shouted in stiff Chinese.

Lu Yang's face turned ashen. They were in a desperate situation!

"Boss, let's fight them!" Zhou Qing roared, raised his gun and was about to rush out.

"Don't be impulsive!" Lu Yang grabbed Zhou Qing. "If we fight now, we'll just die! We have to find a way to escape!"

"What else can we do?!" Zhou Qing said in despair.

Lu Yang looked around, and suddenly, his eyes stopped on a water tank in the corner of the room.

"Got it!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Lu Yang's eyes. "Zhou Qing, Qing Lan, lift the water vat and throw it at those Japanese!"

Although Zhou Qing and Qing Lan didn't know Lu Yang's intention, they did as he said without hesitation.

The two men worked together to lift the heavy water tank and smashed it towards the Japanese soldiers at the door.

"Wow!"

The water tank broke and the water in it poured down like a waterfall, soaking the Japanese soldiers at the door.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese soldiers were dodging the water, Lu Yang shouted, "Charge!"

He rushed out first, firing fiercely at the Japanese soldiers with his gun.

Zhou Qing and Qing Lan followed closely behind and also shot at the Japanese soldiers.

Although Lin Wei didn't have a gun, she was not idle either. She picked up the broken bricks on the ground and threw them at the Japanese soldiers.

The four of them fought to the death like trapped beasts.

The Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and several were knocked down, but they quickly regained their footing and began to fight back.

There was a burst of gunfire and bullets whistled in the air.

Lu Yang and others were caught in a tough battle.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind the Japanese soldiers.

"Don't move! Put your hands up!"

The Japanese soldiers were stunned and looked back.

They saw a group of people wearing French Concession police uniforms pointing guns at them.

"Who are you?!" the Japanese officer asked angrily.

"We are patrolmen from the French Concession! You are illegally firing here and have violated the laws of the French Concession! Put down your weapons immediately, or we will shoot!" the leading patrolman said in French.

The Japanese officer's face turned pale. He knew that the French Concession police were not easy to deal with, and they had indeed violated the laws of the French Concession.

"Retreat!" The Japanese officer waved his hand helplessly and evacuated with his soldiers.

Lu Yang and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?" The leading police officer walked up to Lu Yang and asked in fluent Chinese.

"We are fine, thank you for saving us." Lu Yang said.

"You're welcome. This is what we should do." The police officer smiled. "It's not safe here. You should leave as soon as possible."

Lu Yang nodded, and quickly left the Shikumen with Lin Wei, Qing Lan and Zhou Qing.
