A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Cheng Ying watched as the two quickly left the thatched hut and then the village. They walked at a brisk pace, sometimes even running. As they hurried forward, Cheng Ying followed them discreetly. Although they walked fast, they were very vigilant, glancing back frequently.

After following them for a while, Cheng Ying noticed they were heading east, which led up the mountain. Were they going up the mountain? Sure enough, the more they walked, the more it looked like a path leading uphill. As dawn approached, they were already halfway up the mountain. At this point, Cheng Ying felt extremely confused. Were they going to cross the mountain?

The mountain path was extremely difficult to traverse, practically nonexistent. The two men ahead waved branches they had gathered as they trudged forward, their steps uneven and uneven. As dawn broke, they finally reached a valley. The valley was flat, and there were clear signs of human activity within it. As they drew closer, a squad of Japanese soldiers emerged, brandishing their guns and rattling off a string of words that Cheng Ying couldn't understand.

One of the two exchanged a few words with the Japanese soldier in Japanese. Cheng Ying quickly took out a translator from her spatial storage and turned it on. All she saw was that they were saying, "I am Xiao Zuoyilang. Go tell Yamamoto-kun that I'm back!"

It turned out to be two Japanese soldiers, but that didn't seem quite right. Oh well, whatever. They were with the Japanese anyway. One of the soldiers quickly ran to report, and a moment later a pot-bellied Japanese officer came out. "Little Zuo Ichiro, what brings you back?" Little Zuo Ichiro quickly replied, "Yamamoto-kun, this isn't the place to talk. Let us in quickly, and I'll explain everything to you in detail."

With a wave of his hand, Yamamoto cleared a path for the two. Cheng Ying, still invisible, followed them inside. The valley was filled with rows of tents, including two larger ones, where two squads of soldiers were patrolling. It seemed the security here was very tight!

Cheng Ying followed them to a larger tent. Once inside, after they sat down, Xiao Zuoyilang explained the whole story. Yamamoto Taro squinted and said, "So, Xiao Zuoyilang, the place you're staying is going to be exposed, is that right?" Xiao Zuoyilang nodded. "If the group we went with gets caught, they might implicate us if they confess, so I came back with him. It's not safe there anymore."

Yamamoto pondered for a moment, then paced back and forth inside a few times before saying, "Then you should stay here for now. The situation is unclear. I'll send someone to investigate and find out what's going on down there."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying wondered who they would send to investigate. Just then, Yamamoto called out, "Someone come here!" A soldier walked in shortly afterward and said to him, "Bring in those two lackeys." Cheng Ying, standing to the side, thought, "Lackeys!" They truly lived up to their name!

After a while, two people came in. They looked like traitors. They also had slicked-back hair parted in the middle and didn't look like good people at all!

At this moment, Yamamoto said in a strange tone, "You two go down the mountain and inquire, especially about Lin City. Our men we sent yesterday failed in their mission. We need you to find out if they were captured or dead. Also, find out about the situation in the city. As for the supplies, I'll figure something out." The two lackeys, one named Zhang Cheng and the other Er Gouzi, fawned, "Yes, yes, sir. We'll complete the mission. We know that area well; it'll be good for us to inquire without arousing suspicion from the enemy."

Seeing how obedient and cooperative they were, Yamamoto nodded to them, "Don't worry, as long as this matter is handled well, the benefits will be plentiful—whether it's money or beautiful women, you can choose any girl you like."

Cheng Ying felt angry listening to their conversation. "Do you think our country is your backyard? You can do whatever you want with it? Hmm, let me see what good stuff you have here. Take away every single bowl and basin, leaving you nothing, so you can covet our supplies and our people. I wondered why they found out about this batch of supplies so soon after it was put into the warehouse. It turns out these traitors and lackeys were sending them messages. The most hateful thing is these traitors and lackeys. They eat the country's food and hold the country's bowl, yet they do inhuman things. I will never let them off easily if I get the chance," Cheng Ying thought through gritted teeth.

Seeing the two traitors leave through the door, Cheng Ying thought to herself, "I absolutely cannot let them go to Lincheng to gather information. If I don't kill them, I must bring them back with me." So Cheng Ying followed the two traitors out as well.
