Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

012 Escape from Death

Min Wenqian quietly submerged into the water, and the two approached the outpost from different directions.

20 meters, 15 meters, 10 meters... Suddenly, the Japanese sentry yawned, looked up, and saw Shangguan Yun on the beach.

"Huh? What kind of work are we doing?" The Japanese sentry stared intently, then turned pale with fright. He quickly raised his gun, cocked it, and prepared to fire a warning shot.

In the blink of an eye, Min Wenqian saw the danger and quickly raised his crossbow to fire, hitting the Japanese soldier squarely in the left arm. The Japanese soldier cried out and his Type 38 rifle fell to the ground.

Shangguan Yun seized the opportunity and fired the crossbow bolt instantly. With a "thud," it struck the Japanese soldier squarely in the heart, and the soldier fell to the ground.

Shangguan Yun leaped up and rushed forward in a few steps. Seeing that the Japanese soldier was still convulsing, he stepped forward, drew his dagger, and stabbed the soldier in the back. The Japanese soldier's body stiffened, his eyes rolled back, and he stopped moving.

"Ding dong... Congratulations, Master, for killing an enemy soldier and gaining one merit point. You have successfully upgraded to level 1 soldier." The crisp system notification sounded, startling Shangguan Yun, who then came back to his senses.

"Phew..." Shangguan Yun let out a long breath, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He felt excited, thrilled, and a little nervous.

"How's it going? Is it done yet?" Min Wenqian called out in a low voice.

"No problem," Shangguan Yun wiped the blood off the dagger, took all the useful items from the Japanese soldier, and put them directly into the system's storage space.

The system's built-in storage space was only discovered when it was hidden. It has 100 cubic meters of storage space, is upgradable, and can be automatically divided into layers according to the items stored. It can keep items fresh, but cannot store live animals.

Shangguan Yun ran over with a Type 38 rifle in his hand and casually tossed the gun to Min Wenqian. "I'll steer the boat, let's go..." The two leaped onto the boat.

Shangguan Yun rushed to the driver's seat, and with the sound of an engine, a speedboat shot out of the dock and headed into the distance like an arrow released from a bow, casting a beautiful arc under the moonlight.

Five minutes later, the speedboat approached the rocky area on the north coast, and the faint sound of sporadic gunfire could be heard.

"What's going on? Have we been discovered?" Min Wenqian asked, gazing into the distance.

From afar, a large figure could be seen staggering and stumbling towards the back of a reef, while several Japanese soldiers ran and fired their guns nearby.

“Baka yarou, stop! Dila diela di... pa pa... da da da..."

It was Li Dechao. The reason was simple: half an hour earlier, after setting the fire and throwing a grenade, the Japanese reacted very quickly. Fearing that Sister Zhu would be caught by the Japanese, Li Dechao held up a torch and led the Japanese away for a while.

Sister Zhu took the opportunity to go around to the reef and hide. Fortunately, the Japanese were unaware of the truth and their pursuit was slow, which allowed Brother Ban to circle around and reach the reef.

"Li Dechao, over here..." Sister Zhu shouted, telling Li Dechao to hide behind the rocks. At this time, the Japanese soldiers were less than 100 meters away from them.

"Shangguan and the others must have been discovered by the Japanese. I wonder if they succeeded?" Brother Ban was covered in sweat and out of breath from running.

"I don't know... *slap slap*..."

The Japanese bullets hit the rocks, sending up a string of sparks, and Sister Zhu shrank her neck.

Suddenly, the sound of a high-speed engine rang out in the distance, and a blue light, like an arrow, pierced through the thin mist under the silvery moonlight, heading this way.

"He's my little brother!" Zhu Yanping was overjoyed, and Li Dechao's eyes also lit up.

"Get on the boat quickly!" Shangguan Yun shouted as he approached the reef. He reached out and pulled Zhu Yanping onto the speedboat first, and then Ban Ge climbed onto the bow and climbed into the cabin.

"Damn you little devils, let you taste the bullet... bang..." Min Wenqian lay prone at the stern and began firing.

He fired three shots, hitting only one Japanese soldier. It wasn't that Min Wenqian was a bad shot; the boat was going so fast that he couldn't hit anyone. He probably just guessed that this one was a fluke.

As the boat sailed further and further away, Min Wenqian turned around, cursing, "Damn you little devils, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go for now since you lent me your boat, hmph..."

Shangguan Yun laughed heartily, "Brother Min, if you want to kill Japanese devils, there will be plenty of opportunities. Come with me, and we'll kill until your hands are sore, hahaha..."

"Sis, how are you? Are you hurt? Where's Brother Ban?"

"Thank goodness, if you had arrived two minutes later, we probably would have been dead," Zhu Yanping patted his chest, while the other man looked relaxed and unconcerned.

"I was running around in circles with the little devil just now, and I'm exhausted. I've never run this fast in my life, except when I was a kid and my head was being chased by the neighbor's dog. Haha... I'll probably lose half a pound now," everyone burst into laughter.

On the calm sea, the blue speedboat drew a white line, gradually disappearing from the Japanese soldiers' sight, leaving only their unwilling howls...

The light blue speedboat sped northward, and everyone's face was filled with joy, the excitement of surviving a disaster.

Shangguan Yun steered the small boat with a faint smile on his face, his mind absorbed in the system. Everything that had just happened was too tense, and he hadn't had time to carefully check his attributes after the upgrade.

Upon opening the system panel, a flash of golden light appeared before his eyes: Shangguan Yun, male, 18 years old, Level 1 soldier, speed 10 meters per second, bravery 60, leadership 60, intelligence 60, internal affairs 60, and he also gained 10 free attribute points, which the host can add to any attribute as needed.

Special Attribute 1: Energy Shield (Ignores all energy attacks in this timeline, limited to 2 hours or 20 times per day); Special Attribute 2: Lingbo Weibu (When used, it can reach 3 times the user's speed, lasts for 5 minutes, has a 1-hour cooldown, and consumes 1 merit point); Merit Point 1, Merit Value 1, Next Rank: Second Lieutenant Platoon Leader, Upgrade Requirements: 20 Merit Values.

"Ding-dong, due to the host's upgrade, the system has opened the exchange function. Consume different merit points to exchange for corresponding resources. Please check carefully."

"Wow, this is amazing! They have everything! It's dazzling!"

From daily necessities, food, and clothing, to firearms and ammunition, and even large items like airplanes, warships, tanks, and missiles, they have everything...

"Hehe... my drool is about to drip down!" Shangguan Yun looked like a lecherous pig, his lips curling up as he nodded and grinned lewdly...

"Huh, there's a treatment option too? For common bruises and sprains, as long as it's not a missing limb, one merit point is all it takes... Incredible! I'll heal my older sister's leg injury first. Too bad I only have one merit point, so poor..."

Huh? This is great stuff! You can even draw a prize after leveling up. Oh, you can draw a prize once for every level you gain or every important task you complete (which is randomly triggered).

I'll check the task options first before drawing again. Hmm, the main task is to level up. There are rewards for each level up and you can also draw a prize. Random tasks give random rewards...
