She felt like she had been t...Lao Zhou turned around and opened the door. The moment the soldier at the doorway looked back, a dagger plunged into his chin. The soldier went limp and was caught by Lao Zhou before being dragged into the room.

Lao Zhou pushed the other person against the wall and then took out his handkerchief. He moistened it with the sake on the table and directly unscrewed the light bulb from the desk lamp. He covered the bulb with the damp handkerchief and hid himself.

Three minutes later, a drop of water fell into the bulb socket and then burst into a spark. The next second, all the wiring in the building short-circuited, but the spotlight at the guard post was still on.

Lao Zhou pricked up his ears, hearing the sound of a door opening in the hallway, and someone asking how the power went out. He immediately pulled open the door, sticking his head out into the darkness and giving a direct command:

"What's going on Have someone check it out, and call the power company!"

"Yes, Director Miyata!"

Someone in the distance replied.

They obviously didn't realize the speaker wasn't Miyata. They just assumed it was him because he was in Chief Miyata's office.

Old Zhou locked the door after closing it, then immediately stood by the window waiting for a response from Peony. He didn't flinch or dodge when the searchlights swept across him, and the soldiers in the watchtower didn't notice anything unusual.

The three high-ranking officers who are currently residing on the top floor have already rested, so the guards at the entrance did not disturb their superiors. Even though there was a power outage, they remained steadfastly at their posts, only assigning a small soldier to inquire about the situation.

And the black-clad ripples arrived at the same tree as before, pressing her whole body against the wall and then meowed.

Aunt Mei, who was anxiously waiting outside, immediately poked her head out from her hiding place after hearing the signal. She scanned the area to make sure no one was nearby. Once she confirmed it was safe, she swiftly made her way to the outer wall. She only had three minutes because the patrol team would soon be returning.

She placed the black cloth bag in her hand on the ground, tying the tightly closed pocket several times. The other half of the rope, she tied to Sunny the little squirrel's body, then placed him on the ground.

Chao Yang sniffed around, tugged at the rope tied to him, then was nudged by the anxious Mei Yi. He used all four paws to climb up the wall, taking the rope with him, to find his owner.

Ripple felt something small land on her shoulder, and then sniffed her cheek. She knew the sun had risen. She reached out to grab the little squirrel, untied the rope around its body, held one end of the rope in her hand, extended her arm, drew an arc, and effortlessly pulled the black bag from outside the wall into the room.

Meili saw the bag fly inside and heard footsteps. She immediately retreated to her previous hiding place.

Ripple gave Chao Yang a lot of toasted sunflower seeds, then nudged its little butt and pointed outside, meaning for it to leave quickly.

Chao Yang puffed out her cheeks, somewhat unwillingly, but she still stuck a sticker on Lian Yi's back. With all four paws flying, she scrambled up the wall and darted out again.

The patrol captain had sharp ears. He heard the rustle of leaves and quickened his pace. As he passed, he saw a small thing jump down from the wall. He immediately pulled back the bolt of his gun, but the sun four claws flashed out of sight, disappearing into the dark alley like smoke.

"Such a big rat"

Someone whispered in astonishment.

Can mice climb walls

"The tail is quite big, it's not a mouse."

The patrol captain saw that it was a false alarm, so he holstered his gun, rallied the squad, and then continued patrolling.

Mei Yi, who was hiding at that moment, had sweat soaking her back. Luckily, the sun rose in time, otherwise, this group of patrol soldiers would have been suspicious and definitely searched the area. She wasn't hiding very secretly; they would have found her for sure.

With a sigh of relief, Aunt Mei quietly retreated into the depths of the alley, heading towards the sniper spot she had previously selected.

Grasping the satchel of explosives, he dodged the first searchlight and handed it to Lao Zhou before squeezing inside himself.

"Haven't you been discovered"

Both asked each other at the same time.

"No!"

Then he also answered.

Immediately, ripples quickly put on Miyata's military uniform, and the two of them, carrying explosives, opened the door and walked out.

Both of them held flashlights, with Lao Zhou leading the way, pretending to check the situation.

Lao Zhou and Lian Yi went downstairs first. That's where the cells and interrogation rooms were located.

"Lieutenant Mori,!"

The guard in the cell immediately saluted.

"The power outage came on so suddenly, I'm worried something might happen here. I just wanted to check and make sure you all stay alert!"

Lao Zhou put on a show and gave a speech.

Yes, sir!

Ripple glanced back and thought it was truly a stroke of luck, because the Japanese forces had recently organized an evacuation, pulling out many people. Almost all the prisoners in the dungeon had been killed or transferred, with only four soldiers remaining: two guarding the entrance and two patrolling this floor.

Old Zhou patted the other person's shoulder with satisfaction, and in the next moment, a small knife slashed across the other person's throat. The soldier instinctively grabbed his own neck and then collapsed to the ground. The other person was also dealt with by the ripple effect.

Then the two began installing explosives at the designated location, setting the explosion time for half an hour later. Halfway through, they encountered the two Japanese soldiers who patrolled the cells and dealt with them as well.

"Hurry! There are only twenty minutes left."

Old Zhou reminded.

Then the two returned to the first floor, each taking three grenades and then acting separately.

This time went surprisingly smoothly because the first floor wasn't a priority security area, and there was a guard at the entrance, so there were no patrolling soldiers.

After completing their mission, the two returned to Miyata's office and opened the window. One by one, they jumped out, touching the wall and using moonlight to check the time on their wrists.

"Boom!" A deafening explosion was followed by a series of blasts. The four-story building instantly burst into flames and then began to collapse.

Immediately, a piercing alarm sounded, and the soldiers in the yard and the guards at the gate rushed toward the building.

"Let's go!"

Lao Zhou immediately stood with his back against the wall, one foot forward, and both hands resting on his knees. He let Lian Ri jump onto the wall first.

Ripple didn't hesitate, just tied the rope from the black bag to Lao Zhou's wrist. Without a run-up, she stepped on his knee and leaped onto the wall.

After the ripples settled, with a gentle tug, he also pulled Old Zhou up.

At this moment, a searchlight shone over, its beam illuminating the two figures on the wall. Bullets immediately flew toward them.

Liàn Yī and Lao Zhōu turned and jumped down the wall the moment the light hit them. Although they dodged the gunfire, they couldn't rush into the alley across the street because of the spotlight, so they could only hide outside the wall.

With a , the spotlight went out. You could tell right away it was Mei Yi's doing.

Both of them almost simultaneously bounced off the wall, charging into the alley and then splitting up again. They set up three sniper points.

At this moment, the entire courtyard was in chaos. The sounds of extinguishing fires, cries for help, and gunshots were all mixed together.

KMT personnel who had been keeping a close eye on the headquarters of the Japanese forces immediately informed their own headquarters and then, with their subordinates, slowly approached to collect any spoils. They just happened to run into a returning Japanese unit.

Japan believed that these people bombed their headquarters, while the Nationalist Party thought they were troops escorting supplies to evacuate in advance. The two sides immediately opened fire, sparks flying and gunshots ringing out, shattering the night's tranquility.y.
