Chapter 12 Rejecting the Side Mission
"Quick, go into the house and get guns and ammunition." Wei Jichen left a few people behind and asked Deng Dapeng to lead the other soldiers to search the room.
"Ikeda, do you still recognize me?" Li Yunfei, who was behind Hu Zi, looked at Ikeda Guangu, whose face was ashen, with a cold look, and said faintly.
Li Yunfei's eyes made Ikeda Guangu shudder, and he immediately recognized the Chinese man he had humiliated.
"Mr. Yunfei, please give me a quick death." Ikeda Guangu almost begged in awkward Chinese.
The Japanese of this era secretly despised China, and at the same time they were proud of being able to write Chinese characters and speak a few words of Chinese. For example, the Japanese general Yamamoto Isoroku was sent to school by his parents to learn Chinese when he was a child.
Of course, they claimed that they were of the same race, culture, and ethics as the Chinese, and had a friendship of common prosperity, not hatred. The Manchus were called barbarians outside the Great Wall, and liberating the suffering Chinese people was the responsibility and obligation of the Great Japanese Empire.
This kind of political propaganda really deceived many people at the time, but Wei Jichen knew that the Japanese soldiers were talking nonsense. If you Japanese were so kind, why did you support the puppet Manchukuo government after the demise of the Qing Dynasty and continue to encroach on Chinese territory.
Divide and divide, and then encroach and eat. The Japanese have been eyeing China for a long time, and as long as they have a chance, they will hold on to it.
Even if the Qing Dynasty is going to fall, it cannot fall in your hands, but we must overthrow it ourselves, Wei Jichen thought.
"Don't worry, I will let you enjoy it." Li Yunfei said lightly, patting Hu Zi's shoulder and signaling Hu Zi to put him down.
Li Yunfei walked towards Ikeda Guangu step by step, and Xiao Si beside him handed over a command knife cleverly.
When Ikeda Sekiya saw the knife raised in Li Yunfei's hand, the fear in his eyes became more and more intense, and then a wolf-like scream sounded.
Li Yunfei did not kill him, but cut off his hands and feet, leaving a body crawling on the ground.
During the whole process, Wei Jichen did not make a sound, he knew that Li Yunfei needed to vent.
However, does this count as completing the task? After all, the task is to kill Ikeda Sekiya.
Fortunately, as Ikeda Sekiya crawled weakly on the ground, a crisp female voice sounded in Wei Jichen's ears again.
"Congratulations to the host! Complete the side quest and reward 250 points of merit."
It seems that the system is sometimes really humane, 250 points of merit, three Mauser rifles.
"Wei Shao, you'd better go and take a look." Deng Dapeng walked to Wei Jichen at some point and said with a very ugly face.
"Why, is there no gun here?" Wei Jichen was startled and asked softly.
Deng Dapeng shook his head and said, "No, it's something else."
Wei Jichen followed Deng Dapeng to a house. There were two soldiers guarding outside the door. When they saw Wei Jichen coming, they opened the door.
Wei Jichen looked over and couldn't help but have bloodshot eyes and bulging veins.
It turned out that this house held more than a dozen naked young women. They were naked and covered with purple bruises. They must be the women captured by the Japanese from Jiulian City for their pleasure.
Most of these women looked dull and lifeless. Even when Wei Jichen came in, they didn't react at all.
"It's not a pity for the Japanese to die ten thousand times!" Wei Jichen kicked a table in front of him and said with gritted teeth.
Taking off his coat and putting it on a nearby woman, Wei Jichen didn't know what to say to these women.
Ding Dong: Side quest, rescue civilians, these poor women need your help, lead at least 5 women to escape from the city, complete the quest to reward 100 merit points, fail the quest, deduct 50 merit points.
For a while, Wei Jichen's face was uncertain.
Whether they can escape by themselves is still a dilemma. It is impossible to rescue these women and go together, and it will definitely drag themselves and others down. Maybe everyone will be lost in this Jiulian City.
Wei Jichen sighed secretly, looked at those poor women, and said ashamedly in his heart: I'm sorry, everyone, it's not that I, Wei Jichen, don't want to save you today, it's really limited.
"Don't accept the task!" Wei Jichen said secretly with some trembling.
"Okay, the host chooses not to accept the task, which is a reasonable choice, but I hope the host will remember today's shame!" The system still replied without emotion.
"Sisters, we are all Chinese soldiers. The Japanese here have been solved by us. You can escape on your own." Wei Jichen saw those women staring at him, and his scalp was a little numb.
A dozen women seemed to have come back to their senses and began to cry. Most of them even found clothes to put on.
"General, you are here to save us. Has the army fought back?" The woman wearing Wei Jichen's coat wiped her tears and asked in disbelief.
Wei Jichen said with a stiff face: "No, we are just prisoners. We are preparing to escape from the city now. You should also escape quickly. The Japanese may come back at any time after hearing the gunshots."
The women were in a panic when they heard this. They stood up and thanked Wei Jichen and fled outside.
Only the woman who asked the question just now did not run away. Instead, she walked to Wei Jichen and said with her red lips: "General, my family was destroyed on the day when the Japanese entered the city. I have nowhere to go. I beg you to take me in."
Wei Jichen was about to refuse, but the woman's next words made him take back what he was about to say.
"I know a secluded path out of the city." The woman obviously saw the hesitation in Wei Jichen's eyes and hurriedly continued.
Wei Jichen was delighted by the path out of the city. He was worried about how to rush into the city. If he confronted the Japanese head-on, how many people would be left in this captive army.
"Let's go!" Wei Jichen stopped talking nonsense and asked two soldiers to carry her.
On the way to the yard, Wei Jichen asked about the details of the woman.
The woman's name was Li Wanjun. She was originally the daughter of a wealthy family. Because the Qing army retreated very quickly, most of the people in the city had no time to escape. After the Japanese entered the city, they spied on Li Wanjun's beauty and her family's wealth, and used a little trick to make her family destroyed, and even she herself could not escape the disaster.
The secluded path that Li Wanjun mentioned refers to a small dog hole under a section of the city wall. When Li Wanjun was still a lady, she kept a pet dog, and the dog often went out of the city through the hole.
According to Li Wanjun, this dog hole can accommodate one person to get out alone.
As long as he can escape, Wei Jichen is willing to go through the sewer or the gutter, not to mention it's just a dog hole.
