Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

After leaving the French Concession, Lu Chen put on the cat mask near the Chinese-controlled war zone.

"Rat One, find Wang Yan for me."

There was practically no one in the war zone, and they were all wearing masks. Lu Chen simply had Rat stand on his shoulder to guide him.

Along the way, Lu Chen saw many soldiers peeking out of buildings to observe him.

These people must be soldiers fighting against the Japanese army, but Lu Chen ignored them.

The ground beneath his feet was littered with corpses, and Lu Chen felt nauseous.

This was the first time Lu Chen had ever seen so many corpses. Following Rat One's guidance, Lu Chen finally arrived in front of a building.

Unbeknownst to him, a group of people were watching him from the top of the building behind him.

"Brother Guo, who is that person? He's dressed so strangely, and there are still ordinary people here at this time? And why is he wearing a mask?"

Wang Xiaohu and Guo Zhiyuan stood on the roof of the building. Guo Zhiyuan was smoking a cigarette, while Wang Xiaohu was looking at the black figure in the distance.

Snapped!

Guo Zhiyuan tapped Wang Xiaohu on the head, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and then spoke.

"You idiot, what kind of common people act like this? This guy is obviously not a commoner."

"Should I shoot him?"

Wang Xiaohu covered the back of his head and looked at Guo Zhiyuan to ask a question.

"Fire? What kind of shooting?"

Guo Zhiyuan exhaled a puff of smoke, his expression nonchalant.

"There's no one in that house, it smells like death, and it has nothing to do with us, so who cares?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded. That's true. There's no one in that house, and lately, for some reason, there's always a foul smell coming from it.

Moreover, the Japanese can't be foolish enough to come here at this time.

Since it had nothing to do with him, Wang Xiaohu didn't bother with it anymore. He hugged his gun, leaned against the wall, and sat down on the ground.

Guo Zhiyuan paid no more attention to the man, puffing on the cigarette he had taken from the Japanese soldiers' corpses, looking incredibly pleased with himself.

Is this the place?

Lu Chen looked up at the house, which was in a dilapidated state, and a faint stench wafted through the air.

"Squeak squeak".

After receiving confirmation from Rat One, Lu Chen frowned, covered his nose, and stepped into the house.

The house has two floors. The walls of the first floor are pitted and there is nothing there.

Lu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped upstairs.

The higher up the building he went, the stronger the stench became. Lu Chen covered his nose tightly, not understanding what was happening.

"Squeak squeak".

The mouse squeaked twice and crawled up Lu Chen's shoulder into his pocket.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Chen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He hadn't even let Shu Yi in, yet Shu Yi had suddenly hidden away.

Lu Chen could clearly sense that Rat One was afraid.

Scared?

Lu Chen swallowed hard. Rat's unusual behavior made him a little nervous, and his hand unconsciously reached for the pistol at his waist.

Animals are generally extremely sensitive to their surroundings, especially clever little creatures like mice.

"Is it dangerous?"

Lu Chen thought to himself, his hand already on the pistol at his waist, ready to fire if anything unexpected happened.

Tap tap tap...

The empty building was very quiet, with only Lu Chen's footsteps echoing inside.

Glug...

Swallowing hard, Lu Chen stepped onto the second floor with one foot.

Due to the war, many walls on the second floor had collapsed, and even the roof was mostly broken.

Feeling the sunlight brought Lu Chen some warmth, which calmed him down a bit.

"The smell is getting stronger."

Lu Chen sniffed, and the stench grew stronger, causing him to gag.

After taking two steps and turning a corner, the scene before Lu Chen made him freeze in place.

Corpses, several corpses lay scattered on the ground.

The stench that made Lu Chen feel nauseous was coming from these corpses.

Rat One also sensed the presence of death, which is why he hid!

Why are there corpses here?

Lu Chen searched the entire second floor and only felt relieved after finding no one else, though he still held the gun in his hand.

Thinking of the dark drag marks on the stairs, could the body have been moved here?

"Rat One, you said Wang Yan is here, but nobody's here?"

Lu Chen looked at the corpse. Although he had seen many before, he was still a little nervous seeing a corpse that had decomposed to a certain extent in front of him.

When Lu Chen took Rat One out of his pocket, he could feel that Rat One's body was trembling slightly.

"Squeak squeak".

The mouse squeaked twice and then quickly buried its head in Lu Chen's palm.

"Right here?"

Lu Chen frowned. Rat Yi said Wang Yan was here? But there was no one else here except for the corpse.

Suddenly, Lu Chen thought of a possibility: Could it be...?

Looking down at the several corpses scattered on the ground, Lu Chen had a bad feeling. Could Wang Yan be among them?

Wang Yan is dead?!

"impossible!"

Lu Chen's pupils dilated, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his fingers trembled slightly.

If Wang Yan dies, who will prove his identity?

Apart from Wang Yan, no one knows his true appearance or name. If he dies, will he be left with only the identity of a traitor?

"Rat One, where is Wang Yan?"

Lu Chen looked at the mouse in his hand and roared impatiently.

"Squeak squeak".

Sensing Lu Chen's command, even though it was terrified, Rat One couldn't refuse. It raised its head, barked twice, and hurriedly followed Lu Chen's arm back into its pocket.

Lu Chen ignored him; Rat One had already told him which corpse belonged to Wang Yan.

Lu Chen lifted his foot and walked heavily to the corpse, squatting down to examine it carefully.

"Is Wang Yan really dead?"

Lu Chen looked up, the sunlight was blinding, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

The Japanese army and the organization are both looking for him and want to kill him.

Yes! There's also the underground Communist Party! You can join the underground Communist Party and become their agent!

No!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen shook his head again. If even the top leaders of the organization have been exposed, what if there are also big devils in the underground party?

Moreover, judging from the situation, the Japanese army is determined to find and kill him. What if the underground party is also looking for him?

"Sigh, this era..."

Lu Chen knelt on the ground and let out a heavy sigh.

This era is really not a good time. Suddenly I feel that life is so difficult, I might as well just die.

"no!!"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, his eyes turning fierce. He thought of the people struggling desperately and the Japanese army that committed all sorts of atrocities.

Lu Chen knew all about the crimes committed by the Japanese army in later generations.

Now that I've transmigrated to this era and gained the ability to control rats, I have to do something; I can't just die like this!

Lu Chen stood up, brushed the dust off his knees, lit a cigarette, took two deep drags, and then stuck it directly into the ground.

He placed the object right in front of Wang Yan's corpse, tossed his coat back, put on his mask, and strode out.
