Chapter 606: Not Taking It Seriously
The man on the left answered: "My name is Wei Dashan"
The young man on the right said: "My name is Tian Dazhuang"
Zhang Yunhe nodded, took out a bunch of keys and said, "All the Japanese here have fled. I killed those who didn't run away because there was plague and cholera here. The plague is out of control, so the Japanese have abandoned this place!"
"There are still over 300 people imprisoned on this floor. Except for a few offices on the east side, every other room is holding someone who has been captured. The keys to these rooms are here. Take the keys and open each door and release them all!"
"Tell them to run away immediately, as far as they can, otherwise the Japs will catch them again! After you release them all, you must leave immediately too. Don't stay. Once you get out, don't use the main streets. They're full of Japs patrols. Use the side alleys. It's easier to get away. Do you understand?"
After saying this, Zhang Yunhe threw the key to Wei Dashan on his left.
Wei Dashan took the key, nodded gratefully, and said solemnly, "I understand. I'll see to it!"
The two men immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times before standing up.
"Wait a moment!" Zhang Yunhe stopped the two of them again and said sternly, "If anyone asks about what happened tonight, I don't care what you say, but you must never reveal my existence! If I find out that you've told anyone about me, I'll make you live a life worse than death. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I'll find you!"
"Did you hear that clearly?"
Wei Dashan immediately said, "Don't worry, benefactor. I, Wei Dashan, will never mention you even if I die!"
"me too!"
"Go!"
After the two men went to open the door for the imprisoned civilians, Zhang Yunhe quickly arrived at the gate. He retracted the laser weapon so that the rescued innocent civilians could escape safely.
On the roof of the gatehouse at the main entrance, Zhang Yunhe watched the innocent people who were rescued coming out of the experimental building, supporting each other, fleeing hand in hand, and disappearing into the street.
Wei Dashan and Tian Dazhuang, two young men, had good organizational skills. After these innocent people were released, no one made any noise during their escape, and even the conversations they had during the escape were very quiet.
After watching all the captured innocent people escape, Zhang Yunhe returned to the third floor of the laboratory building, rushed to the door of the disinfection room, and carried two unconscious plague patients with mild symptoms downstairs, one in each hand.
Arriving at the nearby woods, Zhang Yunhe took out the landing craft from his backpack, opened the rear hatch and threw the two people in. After closing the hatch, he climbed into the cockpit and drove the landing craft quickly into the night sky.
Shortly after Zhang Yunhe left, some of the more than 300 civilians who escaped were accidentally discovered by Japanese soldiers patrolling the streets.
"Stop, stop, stop right there!" A Japanese captain pointed at the people walking quickly in the alley and shouted.
These people had just left the Central China Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, where they had suffered a lot. They had witnessed countless compatriots being taken away by the Japanese soldiers for experiments and never coming back. How could they dare to stop? If they stopped, they would be caught. So they immediately ran deep into the alley.
"Baga Yalu!" The Japanese soldier immediately drew his pistol and waved his hand, shouting, "Follow me!"
"stop!"
"Clap"
"Hook"
"Hook"
The sound of gunfire from the Type 14 Nambu pistol and Type 38 rifle echoed in the alley from time to time, and the bullets whizzed through the night, shattering the stones of the wall.
Among the fleeing civilians, a few were unlucky and were hit by bullets, falling in a pool of blood. This made the other civilians run forward even more desperately in order to survive.
In order to survive, these ordinary people showed unprecedented survival instincts, their adrenaline surged, and they ran very fast even though their bodies were extremely weak.
After two more people were hit by bullets and fell, the others scattered and ran away, disappearing deep into the slums with crisscrossing alleys.
In other streets and alleys, several groups of fleeing civilians were discovered by patrolling Japanese soldiers. After a chase, more than a dozen people were shot dead and 8 were captured. The others took advantage of the night and the complex layout of houses and alleys to escape or hide.
At around two o'clock in the morning, a call came in to the duty room of the Military Police Headquarters.
A sergeant answered the phone: "Moshimoshi? Yoshi, I got it. Don't hang up, I'll report to Major Okada on duty!"
"Hayi!"
Putting the phone on the table, the sergeant turned and walked out of the duty room, quickly came to the night officer's duty room and knocked on the door.
The major who was sleeping inside was awakened and stood up angrily and shouted, "Come in!"
The sergeant pushed the door open and came in, reporting carefully: "Major, the patrol called and said that in the past few hours, they arrested more than a dozen Chinese on the streets and in the alleys of several residential areas!"
Major Okada checked his watch. It was a few minutes past two in the morning. He asked, "What were those captured Chinese doing?"
"I don't know. Captain Kobayashi, who called, said those people were dressed in rags, looked pale and skinny, and didn't even have a pair of shoes. They looked like they had escaped from a prison or a coal mine! Captain Kobayashi also said they only caught a dozen or so people, and many more escaped!"
Major Okada thought for a moment and said, "Tell Captain Kobayashi to lock up those captured Chinese first, and then call the various prisons to see if any prisoners have escaped! If there is a prison escapee, notify them to come and take the person back!"
"Hayi!"
Back in the duty room, the sergeant picked up the phone: "Captain Xiaolin, are you still there?"
The person on the other end of the phone quickly said, "Yes."
"Major Okada told you to lock up the captured Chinese first. I'll call a few prisons to see if any prisoners have escaped and then call you back!"
"Hayi!"
"In addition, we must increase patrols and pursuit efforts. For those Chinese who have escaped, we must find a way to recapture them all!"
"Hayi!"
After ending the call, the sergeant called several prisons to ask if any prisoners had escaped, and the feedback he received was that no prisoners had escaped.
This situation puzzled the sergeant. If those Chinese who were rushing around in the streets and alleys at night and dressed like prisoners had not escaped from prison, then where did they escape from?
The Central China Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department itself is a department that looks normal on the surface, but is actually very mysterious. Not to mention the Chinese people, even most of the Japanese only know that this department is an epidemic prevention department and is related to medical and health care. How could they know that this is a complete den of evil?
