Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

Chapter 22: The Fate of the Nation Lies in My Hands

There are two hospitals in the town of Gantian.

One is called Futian, and the other is called Sanli. One is in the north of the city, and the other is in the south of the city.

It's a place only rich people can go.

The doctors in both hospitals were all Japanese, with only a few nurses being Chinese.

"It's not a big deal."

"I'll make up an excuse, like having an upset stomach or something, and go check on them."

After listening to the young girl's explanation, Chu Sheng felt it was not very useful, as he still needed to rely on Sasaki Junzaburo's identity to get things done.

"Actually, the biggest problem right now is..."

"None of us know if Sasaki Junrozo knows anyone in Gantian Town," Yang Shaohui said worriedly.

Chu Sheng said confidently, "Most of the Japanese devils have died in the past few years."

"I don't believe it's such a coincidence to run into an acquaintance."

Seeing that everyone was still worried, Chu Sheng laughed heartily and said:

"Don't worry, the fate of the nation rests in our hands; we'll be fine!"

Yang Shaohui's eyes changed upon hearing the phrase "The fate of the nation rests on our shoulders," and he exclaimed excitedly:

"Okay, I'll have Captain Feng send someone to take you there now."

Chu Sheng quickly waved his hand, "Wait, I need to say goodbye to my master!"

"Uh, right!" Yang Shaohui nodded. "Go say goodbye to Master Mao."

Chu Sheng wasted no time and turned to leave. Seeing his eagerness, Yang Shaohui smacked his lips and said to Lin Susu:

"Comrade Chu is so outstanding, it's a waste for him to be a Taoist priest."

"When he returns from this mission, I will definitely persuade him to join our team to fight the Japanese devils together."

Lin Susu nodded seriously: "Indeed, Comrade Chu is bold, meticulous, and knowledgeable. He is a rare talent in our team."

Chu Sheng, unaware of his popularity, stood before Mao Xiaofang's door and knocked:

"Master, the guerrillas have sent someone to take me to Gantian Town. I've come to say goodbye."

A moment later, Mao Xiaofang's voice came from inside the room, "Come in."

Chu Sheng was taken aback; Mao Xiaofang hadn't come out.

On the contrary, the fact that they let me in suggests they have something to tell me.

He pushed open the door.

I saw Mao Xiaofang standing in front of the table, on which was only a dish of dog blood and a wolf-hair brush.

"Close the door and take off your clothes!" Mao Xiaofang's tone was crisp and efficient, without any unnecessary words.

Chu Sheng guessed what Mao Xiaofang was planning to do.

He probably wanted to draw some kind of protective talisman on himself, and jokingly said:

"Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Mao Xiaofang glared at Chu Sheng and explained:

"Among the magic arts of Maoshan, there is a technique called 'Indestructible Vajra Body'."

"I thought my master's magic power could withstand three shots."

Chu Sheng asked in surprise, "Master, you're using your magic power to create the 'Indestructible Body' for me now, what if you become weak after entering the city?"

Mao Xiaofang said proudly, "Enough nonsense. I practice the Boyhood Skill. After a day of meditation, I will recover on my own."

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng felt a pang of envy, but alas, he was no longer a virgin and could not cultivate any kind of virginity-related skills.

She took off her shirt, revealing a fairly well-proportioned body.

Mao Xiaofang concentrated and calmed himself, dipped the tip of his brush into ink mixed with cinnabar and dog blood, and with a flourish of his brush, a complex talisman was quickly drawn on Chu Sheng's back.

With each stroke, Chu Sheng felt his skin slightly warm, as if a warm current was flowing into his body, yet it also brought a slight stinging sensation.

"Do not move around. Focus your mind and sense the flow of the talisman's power."

Mao Xiaofang said in a deep voice, his pen moving without stopping, extending from the midline of the spine to both sides, and outlining symmetrical heart-protecting talismans on the chest.

Chu Sheng closed his eyes and silently recited the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing," trying to sense the strange energy flowing through his meridians.

About an incense stick later, Mao Xiaofang put down his brush, a thin layer of sweat already visible on his forehead.

"Alright, although this method is called 'Indestructible Vajra,' it actually involves activating your own Qi and blood, combining it with the power of the talisman to temporarily condense a layer of protective Qi."

"Remember, you can only withstand a maximum of three fatal attacks, and the intervals between them cannot be too short."

"Most importantly, you can't lose your virginity, and you can't take a bath!"

Chu Sheng awkwardly put on his clothes. Where could he possibly lose his virginity in this short time? He really wanted to ask if his master had some misunderstanding about him.

However, upon turning around and seeing the look of reluctance on his face, he composed himself and bowed solemnly to Mao Xiaofang:

"I will remember my master's teachings and will certainly act with caution."

Mao Xiaofang looked at him with a complicated expression, and in the end simply patted him on the shoulder:

"Go, and be careful in everything you do. If things become unbearable, prioritize your own safety."

"Leave the affairs of the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect to your master."

Chu Sheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart and nodded vigorously.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Yu Chuda was already waiting in the courtyard, carrying a cloth bag in his hand.

"Junior brother, here are some dry rations and water, and... a few 'Swiftness Talismans' that I tried to draw last night based on my notes. I don't know if they'll work, but you can take them in case you need them to escape."

He scratched his head, but his eyes were a little red.

Chu Sheng took the cloth bag and said, "Thank you, senior brother. When I come back, we'll study Master's notes together."

Yu Chuda turned her head away and pouted, saying:

"Junior brother, don't study it yet. I'll teach you after I've thoroughly studied it."

Chu Sheng chuckled and changed into the slightly oversized Japanese lieutenant uniform, then looked at his reflection in the water vat.

He was already tall and upright, and wearing this leather uniform, he really did look like a Japanese officer.

"So alike! So alike!" Feng Zhenguo walked around Chu Sheng, marveling at the resemblance.

"Their eyes weren't fierce enough. When Japanese officers looked at us ordinary people, their eyes were practically on the top of their heads."

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng tried to recall the appearance of the Japanese soldiers in movies and TV dramas. His eyes sharpened, his chin slightly raised, and an arrogant and domineering aura immediately emanated from him.

Unfortunately, there was still no murderous intent in his eyes.

"It's alright, didn't they say the Japanese officers just came out of the island?"

"It's normal that you haven't killed anyone." Lin Susu handed Chu Cheng a Mauser C96 pistol and asked with concern:

"Take good care of yourself."

"If anything happens, just go to the place I told you about; our team members will be there to meet you."

Chu Sheng holstered the gun and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

Actually, he felt warm inside. From childhood to adulthood, apart from his parents, no one else had ever cared for him this much.

All that's left are these revolutionary friends right in front of me.

"Good!" Yang Shaohui whispered a reminder, still not believing in Taoist magic, but he highly approved of and affirmed Chu Sheng's selfless act:

"Remember, once you're in the city, talk less and observe more."

"Your task is to locate the Corpse King, not to kill enemies. Do not cause any unnecessary trouble."

"Understood." Chu Sheng composed himself and said seriously. "Let's go!"

Yang Shaohui beckoned, and Xiaodouzi immediately came forward to lead the way.

The two quickly disappeared into the morning mist of the mountain forest.

In the afternoon, they appeared in a patch of overgrown weeds less than two miles from the south gate of the town.

"Brother Sheng, the main road is just ahead, I can't see you off any further," Xiaodouzi said in a low voice. "Please, please don't let anything happen to you."

"I'll wait for you to come back and teach me how to make roast chicken."

Chu Sheng nodded, patted Xiao Douzi on the head, and said in an annoyed tone:

"All you do is eat."

"Just wait and see!"

After saying that, he took a deep breath and strode towards the south gate.
