Chapter 181 A Different Return
On November 11, 10, Harrison Forman's exclusive interview with Hu Biao was published in two influential newspapers, The Times and The New York Times.

And it appeared in the most prominent position as the front page headline.

After the newspaper came out, this war that took place on the distant eastern continent attracted the attention of more Westerners.

Because of some quite forward-looking topics in the newspaper, it aroused widespread sympathy in the West and made many foreigners remember Hu Biao for the first time.

There are also serious and unserious names such as Black Star, Huang A'di, Uncle Bo, Mo Shuiyan, Huang Yizi, Xufeng, Dead Fish, Chen Tang, etc.

The details of the Battle of Sihang Warehouse and its exceptionally brilliant results were revealed by the wounded soldiers left in the concession, causing an even greater sensation in the country.

However, there was no news of Hu Biao, Captain Hu and a few others after they left the concession that day.

Countless passionate young men wanted to join the Subei Independent Regiment and follow Commander Hu to fight the Japanese invaders, but they couldn't find anyone for a while. They sighed and lamented for a long time...

On November 11, the entire Magic City was occupied by the devils.

This situation meant that the Battle of Shanghai, which lasted for three months, was completely over.

In this largest battle during the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Nationalist army suffered approximately 25 casualties, almost one-third of its total force; as many as generals alone were killed in the battle.

What is somewhat helpless is that a large number of them died in the disorderly retreat of the army and were caused by the Japanese air raids.

Although the heroic fighting of the National Army caused more than 90,000 casualties to the Japanese and shattered their clamor of "destroying China in three months", such a huge loss still made the Chinese people heartbroken.

Many people have already realized that a large part of the losses suffered by the Nationalist army, especially those incurred during the retreat, were completely unnecessary.
A new crisis emerged: Having just suffered such a devastating defeat, the Nationalist army's garrison forces in Nanjing were severely stretched, and morale was extremely low. With virtually no defenses left, Nanjing City was in danger...

******
After opening his eyes again, Hu Biao found that he had returned to the modern world, in his shabby rental house.

This was the first time that Hu Biao had experienced returning to the modern dimension while awake; the previous two times he was teleported back after being seriously injured and unconscious, and he had no idea what happened during the process.

So, what would it be like to be teleported while awake?

I can only say that it was a completely useless experience. I couldn't help but close my eyes, and when I opened them again, I was back to myself, and the injuries on my body were completely healed.

There is no other feeling, just like traveling through loneliness.

In addition, although his body was fully recovered, the mental pain of having experienced a series of bloody battles and seeing one close traversal partner and Kuomintang brother after another die in battle around him had not been repaired.

The scene of these people dying in battle was still echoing in Hu Biao's mind.

Whether it was tragic, miserable, or sudden, all of them made Hu Biao feel heartbroken when he thought about them, and he was very depressed for a while.

What to do? Of course, smoke a cigarette quietly and slowly.

This was an effective way for him to adjust his mood after his previous two time travels; only after his mood was adjusted did he take stock of what he had brought back this time.

But what happened next was quite different from what Hu Biao had expected.

It’s not that smoking slowly and adjusting my mood has no effect.

He had just taken a cigarette out of his box when his bedside phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Annie, a video caller. Hu Biao quickly answered the call and saw Annie, looking aggrieved. She burst into tears the moment she saw him.

Upon seeing this, Hu Biao hurriedly and carefully comforted her, feeling distressed and thinking:
Although Annie seemed quite comfortable moving between various forces in the Magic City after traveling through time, she played a key role in their final evacuation from the concession.

But in this process, you must be very scared.

After all, no matter what, she is just a young girl who grew up in a peaceful environment.

But what he didn't know was that Annie, who was crying so hard on the other side of the video, with her eyes red, was secretly thinking in her heart while crying:

During this time travel, he actually encountered all the forces that had only appeared in previous film and television dramas, such as the foreign devils, the Military Control Commission, and the Special High Technology Bureau.

When dealing with them, any slight misbehavior will expose you, and then you will face a tragic end. It’s really scary to think about it.

But then again, this feeling and experience is really too exciting.

Especially when he kicked Yoshiko Kawashima hard, it felt great.

According to Hu Biao, since he did not die in this time of time travel, he will be able to continue to participate in the next time of time travel. Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it.

But I must not show this side of me in front of this big pig's hoof. Men, after all, are said to like the kind of soft and weak girls.

It’s really troublesome. I have to cry for at least twenty minutes.

Just like that, Annie stopped crying only after Hu Biao's heart was broken and his mouth was drooling.

In the following time, he took a hand-drawn drawing and began to introduce to Hu Biao some new ideas he had for Deyue Building and the newly acquired store next door.

How to arrange the store and how to arrange the staff in the store, etc.

In three days, she would be able to go back; by then, Hu Biao would make her twice-cooked pork, oil-splashed noodles, roujiamo, pork stewed with vermicelli and other delicious dishes.

There is also a newly released movie, and my girlfriends have been recommending it to everyone, saying how great it is.

But I kept resisting the urge to watch it, waiting to go watch it with Hu Biao.

In short, Annie kept talking babble-babble, and Hu Biao kept agreeing with her, playing the role of a perfect supporting role.

In this way, the two of them started chatting extremely passionately in this cold night before dawn.

Unconsciously, the bad mood in both of them began to lift, which gave Hu Biao a completely different new experience after returning to the modern plane.

During the process, Black Star, the veteran time traveler, made several video calls to him, but Hu Biao simply chose to ignore them.

We have all traveled back in time. In this safest country in the world, could any danger happen?
Since there's nothing dangerous or urgent, I'll focus on chatting with the girl and ask him what's going on later...
