The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 523 Consensus: Let's Stir Up Trouble (Two-in-One Chapter)

When I opened my eyes, I found that I was no longer in the familiar boss's office at Deyuelou, but in a lush forest.

Hu Biao immediately knew that a new journey through time had officially begun.

At the same time, the tension that had been building in my mind immediately eased considerably.

Nothing more! In the fleeting glimpse he made after opening his eyes, he could vaguely see some wild fruits such as chestnuts, wild grapes, and kiwis, and hear the chirping of birds.

Everything indicated that this forest was exceptionally rich in resources.

This means that even if the situation gets worse this time, we won't go hungry like we did last time.

You should know! This time, everyone learned from the lessons of the last time they traveled through time, and in addition to the normal weapons and equipment, they also brought some long-range melee weapons such as crossbows and slingshots.

The purpose was to ensure that, in situations where shooting was not possible, they could gather wild fruits and use them for hunting, so as not to go hungry.

Then Hu Biao twisted his neck and looked around at the environment and terrain in more detail.

The plan is to first determine if the area the team is in is safe before checking which experienced and new members have joined this trek.

After taking a few more glances, Hu Biao's mood improved even more, and a clear smile appeared on his face.

He discovered that this forest in the mountains was also rich in local produce.

More importantly, looking at the surrounding mountains, especially the tall mountain behind him, Hu Biao felt a sense of familiarity and warmth, as if he had been there before.

Unfortunately, before Hu Biao could figure out exactly where this place was...

Suddenly, a startled voice called out, "Sis! What's wrong? Don't scare me, wake up!"

The voice sounded quite familiar; it was clearly the voice of his mistress, Mina, so the "sister" she was referring to could only be his Annie.

When Hu Biao heard that Annie was in trouble, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't care less about anything else.

He immediately turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Then, to her horror, she saw that Annie was lying motionless on the ground, her eyes closed; no matter how much Mina, who was kneeling beside her, called out to her and pushed her, she did not respond at all.

Upon seeing this, Hu Biao felt as if the sky had fallen.

He hurriedly ran over there, his legs feeling extremely weak in the process.

After rushing over to Annie and squatting down, he actually gritted his teeth and dared to extend his right hand towards Annie's nose.

After feeling that Annie was still breathing through her nose, they knew she was still alive.

That's when his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

He didn't know why Annie was like this, whether she was like this before she transmigrated, or whether some accident happened during the transmigration that led to this situation.

You should know! About two hours before the time travel, Annie and the two had a video call when Annie got off work.

At that time, Anne was still perfectly normal and kept saying in the phone call that she would be able to finish filming and return home in three more days.

What dishes should she eat after she returns to China, and what dishes should Hu Biao cook himself?

As a result, such a big thing happened after such a short time.

Fortunately, Annie is still alive and doesn't have any obvious injuries, otherwise, this guy would have completely broken down...

Five or six minutes later, Zanana pointed to a tiny needle mark on Annie's neck and, to Hu Biao and Mina beside her, as well as the veterans who had gathered at a distance so as not to disturb Annie's breathing, gave her assessment:

"Don't worry! Annie is fine."

He was simply hit by a miniature tranquilizer gun and rendered unconscious. There was no danger to his life, and no serious aftereffects.

After hearing this, Hu Biao and Mina exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, while gritting her teeth, Mina shouted:
"My cousin must have gotten into trouble in Japan. Someone probably wanted to capture her alive, so they used a tranquilizer gun to launch a sneak attack. But who are these bastards, and what is their purpose in doing such a thing?"
"Don't let me find out, or when I get back to the modern world, I'll make them regret it to the core."

Hu Biao was also seething with anger. Or rather, even though in the modern world, the matter between Pan Wanting and Xigua Investment was ultimately resolved with a very positive outcome.

However, the process of relying solely on others for help while being unable to do anything himself left him feeling quite frustrated and he hadn't completely let go of his resentment.

Reason told him that he had to stop there and stop making trouble.

Now that even Annie has gotten into trouble, it's as if she's crossed a line, making his anger and murderous intent uncontrollable, no less than that of Mina.

However, he also knew that the most important thing at the moment was to wake Annie up as soon as possible and find out more information before making a plan.

Otherwise, you won't know who your opponent is, and you won't know where to use your strength.

Therefore, Hu Biao asked Zanana a crucial question: "How long will it take for Annie to wake up on her own? Is there any way to wake her up quickly?"

"When can I wake up naturally, and are there any ways to wake up earlier?"

I'm sorry, I don't know any of that, I'm not a doctor; but I did see people using these dangerous miniature tranquilizer guns when I was a mercenary.

However, there are many types of anesthetics, and their effects and durations of anesthesia also vary.

"I have absolutely no idea what kind of anesthetic those people used on Anne, or what its effects were."

Zanana spread her hands and explained it this way.

"Damn it! If only Xiao Cui could have participated in the time travel this time." After hearing Zanana's words, Hu Biao cursed in frustration.

In fact, the group of veterans who traveled through time this time are quite numerous and strong.

Besides Hu Biao himself, there are also Annie, Mina, Zanana, AT, Uncle Bo, Huang Adi, Chen Tang, Huang Yizhi, Lao Yu, Lao Ma, Xiao Henan, Van Gogh, Wizard, Contractor, Lao Che, Xin Huo, Shizi, etc.

All of them together, there are as many as 18 people.

Each of these people has their own area of ​​expertise, and given a little opportunity, they can unleash tremendous energy and make a significant impact.

Unfortunately, Xiao Cui, the team's only professional medical staff member, failed to qualify for the time travel this time.

Then Annie was anesthetized and passed out. There was no way to find someone to ask her how long it would take for her to wake up.

Fortunately, Chen Tang, who had been away from several missions, was a veteran who had participated in the Battle of Songhu, including the Battle of Dunwu Temple and the Battle of Sihang Warehouse.

After thinking of something, he turned to the five newlyweds gathered under a chestnut tree and tentatively asked:
"Are any of you medical staff or have medical training? If so, please come and help take a look."

Unexpectedly, one of the tall young men hesitated for a moment before raising his right arm and speaking in a distinctly Northeastern accent:
"I...I'm a medical student..."

In the time that followed, the young man from Northeast China carefully performed an examination on Annie.

After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "This lady should have been injected with propofol, a fairly common anesthetic."

It's impossible to determine exactly how long the injection lasted, but judging from various physiological indicators, I should wake up naturally in about two hours.

If someone close to her pats her shoulders and upper limbs, pinches her face, and calls her name in her ear, she should wake up within an hour.

Watching the young man from Northeast China speak these words, his tone was quite professional, and his expression was quite confident.

Only when all the seasoned time travelers reached this point did they finally put aside all their worries.

Especially after Hu Biao learned that Annie was alright, his intelligence returned to its peak, and he issued a series of commands, getting everyone into action and returning to their normal state after each time travel:
"Sister-in-law! What are you standing there for?"

Quickly follow their methods, pat her on the shoulder, call her name in her ear, and try to wake Annie up as soon as possible.

Old Cucumber, Silent Gourd, Big Fatty, Second Fatty, the four of you split up and keep watch. While you're at it, check if there are any houses nearby, so you can figure out where we are and what time it is.

The others should take inventory of the weapons, equipment, and supplies successfully brought over, and remember to compile a list.

Following this order, the veterans got to work.

Hu Biao then addressed the young man from Northeast China and the other four newcomers, offering a brief introduction and advice: "Don't doubt it, you've already traveled through time."

They were transported to the War of Resistance against Japan more than 80 years ago by a mysterious entity.

But there's no need to be afraid. We've traversed this place many times before and have plenty of experience.

As long as one doesn't try to reveal their identity as a time traveler, doesn't wander off, and achieves the mysterious being's goal, they can still return to their original world with a large amount of valuable spoils.

If injured or crippled during the process, one can recover perfectly; even if killed in battle, one can be resurrected. On the contrary, if one reveals their identity as a transmigrator or acts recklessly, they will die in various accidents and will absolutely not be resurrected when others return to the modern world.

If someone dies, then they are truly dead.

Okay! That's roughly the situation. I doubt you'll believe what I'm saying right now.

It's okay. I just want you to think about where you were not long ago and how you suddenly found yourself in this strange and unfamiliar place.

Then, why don't you follow us for a while, see how things go, and then make a decision?

The above passage is a set of persuasive phrases summarized by a group of veteran players after numerous conversations with newbies during their various journeys through the game.

Faced with Hu Biao's questioning gaze, the five people from Northeast China were the first to nod, expressing their willingness to follow along for a while and see how things went.

The remaining four people quickly nodded in agreement.

It seems that, regardless of their skill and courage, the five new transmigrators assigned to join this time are at least some reasonably sane humans...

******
Perhaps due to long-term training, or because her physical fitness had been continuously improved multiple times by a mysterious entity, Annie's resistance to and ability to metabolize anesthetic drugs were much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Twenty minutes later, amidst Mina's tearful cheers, Annie slowly opened her eyes.

Afterwards, he was given some water and rested with his eyes closed for about ten minutes. He was not only able to sit up with help, but although he was still somewhat listless, he had basically regained consciousness.

At this point, Hu Biao reached out and tidied a strand of Annie's hair that was hanging down, and then asked, "Are you alright? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Annie shook her head and replied, "Apart from feeling completely weak and somewhat unresponsive, everything else is fine."

Then, without Hu Biao even asking, she took the initiative to tell him what had happened:
"Because the studio wasn't far from the hotel, after we finished video chatting, I walked back. On the way, I came across a small food stall, the kind that sells ramen, and I ate five bowls of noodles and three bowls of oden."

When they got back to the hotel, it had been about thirty minutes since the time travel had begun.

I was planning to take a shower before I went through the time travel.

As soon as I stepped into the room, I felt a mosquito bite on my neck, and I collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by a strong feeling of fatigue.

However, I must have good physical condition and strong resistance, because from the moment I was hit until I completely fainted, I managed to maintain some consciousness for a few minutes.

Although I couldn't open my eyes, I could still hear some valuable information.

This information can also be used to deduce more details.

For example, all of these people speak English, and with standard American accents; so, these people might be from Uncle Sam's Q Bureau.

The reason they attacked me is probably to use me to coerce you into targeting Zhou Kun.

If I had known these guys would be so brazen, I wouldn't have risked going abroad; I would have just refused the agent.

Furthermore, after they shoved me into the trunk of a car, they were probably preparing to drive me from my hotel in the Minato Ward to somewhere in the Adachi Ward.

According to my memory, the two districts were quite far apart before, so when I crossed over, the car that transported me should still be on the road, and they didn't realize that I had suddenly disappeared.

Even if this journey doesn't last longer than a year.

Given the time flow between the two dimensions, when I am transported back to the modern dimension, I will probably be in a car before the car has even arrived at its destination.

So don't worry, as long as I'm well-prepared and bring enough weapons before returning, I can definitely launch a surprise attack, wipe them out, escape, and find a way back home."

I have to say it! Anne's analysis above makes a lot of sense.

However, her companions had some different opinions regarding her response and escape methods.

These people were also very worried about Annie's condition, and they all gathered around her as soon as the landlady woke up.

Touching his chin, the wizard began to speak:
"Boss lady, I think your way of getting out of here is still a bit too dangerous."

Based on past experience, even if we bring the weapons with us when we return to the modern world, we may not be able to bring them back successfully.

Without weapons, are we supposed to take down our opponents with our bare hands?

Just as Annie was about to say that once she recovered from anesthesia, she could kill those guys even with her bare hands, the foreman retorted:

"Don't worry about that! Not to mention that we people in the modern world are blessed and favored by fate."

They always manage to escape danger and nothing really happens.

That mysterious entity wouldn't allow people like us to fall into the hands of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, thus risking the exposure of its secrets. Therefore, it will definitely ensure that Annie successfully returns with enough weapons.

They might even secretly intervene and cause trouble for the people in the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Although the above-mentioned terms, such as "foreman" and "above," sound rather mysterious.

However, considering that everyone had a good outcome every time they encountered trouble before, and the ruthlessness of the mysterious being towards those who planned to escape and travel through time, the foreman's statement actually seemed quite plausible.

Even so, Hu Biao was still quite dissatisfied.

Or perhaps, Hu Biao's pent-up anger, stemming from a series of recent misfortunes, was finally unleashed when Annie was in danger.

How could the matter be resolved so easily without eliminating a bunch of opponents?
Besides! Because the specific location is in an island nation, this guy no longer has any scruples.

"No way! This absolutely cannot be left like this." Hu Biao shouted this, attracting everyone's attention.

Under the watchful eyes of others, he fiercely revealed his plans:

"Why is it that every time the people from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics come to cause trouble for us, we can only endure it and let them cause trouble again and again?"

Back in China, it was one thing; I'd give my own laws face and not cause trouble. But why should I obey the laws of this island nation?
Once I return to the modern world, I'm definitely going to Japan and wipe out the CQ Bureau's branch there.

We must teach them a lesson they won't forget, so they'll know that if they want to use such underhanded tactics again, they'll have to pay a terrible price.

However, one thing needs to be clarified in advance! In this dimension, those who die cannot be resurrected, so those who want to go can go, and those who don't want to will not be forced.

Even if I don't go, I, Hu Biao, guarantee I won't take it to heart, much less hold a grudge. We'll still be partners from now on.

“Brother-in-law, you must include me in this. This is a family matter, and I have to go,” Mina was the first to speak up, her attitude very firm.

Van Gogh's eyes lit up, and he spoke in an uncompromising tone:
"Please count me in. I regret not going to Chongqing to cause trouble back then. Now that we're going to the Japanese islands to cause trouble, wouldn't that be even more exciting?"

Danger? What's there to be afraid of?

"Isn't it dangerous for me to transport eggs in my big plane every time? Some people choke to death while eating or drinking."

In the following time, Zanana, the wizard, Old Ma, Little Henan and others spoke up one after another, all expressing their eagerness to participate in the island nation's operation.

In the end, only the contractor and Uncle Bo remained, and neither of them had spoken up.

The former contractor wasn't unwilling to go—you're kidding! Any normal Chinese son or daughter would want to go to the Japanese territory and cause a ruckus.

The reason he hasn't made a statement is simply that he's currently fighting on the battlefield where the two major powers are battling each other, and he probably won't be able to leave until then.

He would be very happy to participate if he could go.

The latter, Uncle Bo's words, were mentioned because everyone suddenly remembered that this guy's identity in the modern world was that of a proper soldier, and whether it was appropriate or difficult to involve him.

So now everyone is silently watching Uncle Bo, not knowing what to say.

Facing the somewhat complicated looks from everyone, Uncle Bo cursed, "I may be a soldier, but I am also a descendant of the Chinese nation and a member of the team."

"Of course I'm going! I'm not bragging, but without my sniper rifle suppressing the enemy, what can you guys do?"

Faced with such a statement, everyone unanimously raised their middle fingers at Uncle Bo; even Annie, who was physically weak and mentally exhausted, did so.

At this point, the plan for everyone to cause trouble in the island nation after this time travel is completely finalized.

As for specific plans? No rush.

During the subsequent time travel, they will have plenty of time to plan; but now? Of course, they should cheer up and participate in this time travel.

You little devils! Your grandparents are here again...
