Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 67 Where the road is red, that's where you go.

After leaving the teahouse, Zhao Zhen's mood also became very complicated.

Zhuang Bingwei is essentially a kind person, and Zhao Zhen knows this very well.

But in this cannibalistic world, the fate of kind people is often a hundred or a thousand times more miserable than that of evil people!
Zhuang Bingwei's situation was similar to his own, but there were also fundamental differences.

Although the Quanxing and Zhengdao sects also fight to the death every day, they are all one family, and the conflicts only arise from differences in ideology.

In this world, where there is good, there will naturally be evil; where there is black, there will naturally be white. Black and white are interdependent, and good and evil are interdependent. This is an unavoidable thing.

Therefore, no matter how evil Quanxing is, the righteous sects will not think of exterminating them, because it is simply impossible.

In this situation, even if they are unwilling, they must continue to learn and coexist with the whole sex for a long time.

But Shobei was different. For the nation, this was a naked war of aggression, with absolutely no room for coexistence, only a pure fight to the death.

Just like the sworn brotherhood between the Thirty-Six Thieves and Wugensheng, if it were any other time, their fate might not have been so tragic. But they chose to do it during the sensitive period of war.

Just as Zhao Zhen said to Zhuang Bingwei, the danger level of a person with an ambiguous stance and great power will only be infinitely amplified in this situation.

What do you mean by only being sworn brothers with Wugensheng and having nothing to do with Quanxing?
You speak with great righteousness, but if one day your elders and fellow disciples were to besiege Wugensheng, would you help your sworn brother Wugensheng or would you help them?

Therefore, those who waver in their stance will inevitably face a dead end!

Although it is unknown whether the old man himself thought of this, there is no doubt that he used the act of collecting favors and his own death to completely extricate Zhao Zhen from a situation similar to that of the future Thirty-Six Thieves.

He used to envy Lu Jin for having Zuo Ruotong as his teacher, and Zhang Zhiwei for having the Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing as his teacher. But when it comes to the way of being a teacher, Zhao Zhen believed that his old man was absolutely no less than any of them!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and banished all the chaotic thoughts from his mind.

Living in such a damned world, there are not many paths one can choose.

One wrong step, and you're doomed.

Therefore, choosing sides has always been an art, since one could easily end up with the execution of one's entire family if one chooses the wrong side.

Fortunately, at least he knows who the future winner will be, and based on that alone, Zhao Zhen has already surpassed the vast majority of people.

What's there to say? Since the old man has used his own life to fill in all the possible dead ends, I just need to follow the path that leads to the right one!

Several days later, in Shenyang, Northeast China.

After a conversation with Zhuang Bingwei in Shanghai, Zhao Zhen returned to the three northeastern provinces.

Zhao Zhen originally planned to lay low for a while and then find another opportunity to cause trouble for the Japanese after the storm had passed.

However, after talking with Zhuang Bingwei, Zhao Zhen changed his mind. He was already on the assassination list of the Hiei Ninja Clan and the Japanese military, so no matter where he hid, he would inevitably be hunted down by the Japanese, just like in Shanghai.

Since that's the case, I might as well not run away!
Since there's no way to avoid it anyway, it's better to fight in "enemy-occupied territory" than in our own "homeland," at least that way we can fight without restraint!

And he did the opposite of what they expected. They all thought they had left the three northeastern provinces, but he deliberately came back to catch them off guard!
After silently infiltrating Shenyang, Zhao Zhen was immediately intrigued by an important piece of news revealed during a conversation among the Japanese soldiers patrolling the streets.

Tonight is the 50th birthday of Fujita Masashige, the highest-ranking Japanese military leader stationed in Shenyang. All the high-ranking military and political officials in Shenyang will attend the banquet, which will be held at the Yuntai Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Shenyang.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Zhen was overjoyed.

It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy. I'm not afraid of you all getting together, I'm just afraid of you all scattering, which would waste my time searching for you one by one.

Now that's great, it would be a shame not to send you some "Dongfeng Express" (a type of energy delivery service) – it would be a disservice to all the years of studying the Golden Escape Technique!
Without the slightest hesitation, after scouting the area around the Yuntai Hotel in advance, Zhao Zhen activated his Mirage Transmission technique and entered the Japanese gunpowder warehouse, quietly taking away several boxes of explosives.

Although the Japanese had increased their vigilance on the ammunition depot after Zhao Zhen's previous "sneak attacks," ordinary people can only defend against ordinary people, so how could they possibly defend against superhumans?
After storing all the explosives in an underground wine cellar outside Shenyang, Zhao Zhen chose to swagger into the city.

When Zhao Zhen returned to the vicinity of the Yuntai Hotel, the area within a hundred meters was under complete lockdown.

In addition to the military patrolling the surrounding streets, Zhao Zhen also sensed the presence of many "kindred spirits" in the streets and alleys.

It's clear that the Japanese are taking this birthday banquet very seriously, hence the maximum level of security.

If it were anyone else, even an extraordinary person, trying to sneak into the hotel to assassinate someone would be incredibly difficult, not to mention how challenging it would be to infiltrate.

Even if they could successfully infiltrate, targeting high-ranking Japanese officers who would undoubtedly be protected by "ninjas" would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

However, these were practically no challenge for Zhao Zhen. He didn't even need to take action himself. He just needed to leave the city at the appointed time, detonate the boxes of explosives, and then use his Golden Escape technique to send them into the Yuntai Hotel.

A few boxes of explosives could detonate right in your face, but they wouldn't be enough to blow up the entire city of Shenyang. However, they would be more than enough to destroy your Yuntai Hotel.

As for whether innocent people will be harmed, that's not something Zhao Zhen is considering.

Most of those who can enter this hotel tonight are high-ranking members of the Japanese military and political circles, as well as officials of the puppet state of Manchukuo that they support. Even if there are our spies among them, I believe they would be willing to sacrifice their own interests for the greater good.

Zhao Zhen stood quietly in the distance, waiting. Just as the time was about to pass, he was about to leave the city to deliver today's "Dongfeng Express" when a sudden sound of fighting behind him made him stop in his tracks.

"Hmm? What's going on? Could it be that there's someone who shares my thoughts?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen activated his Mirage Escape technique and quietly crept towards the direction from which the fighting sounds were coming.
