That evening.

One by one, the lights in Lijia Yu went out.

The village fell completely silent, with only the sound of the patrolling sentries at the village entrance remaining.

Zhou Tianyang did not light the lamp.

He sat in the darkness, listening to the faint sounds outside the window.

He waited for more than an hour.

He slowly stood up only after all the sounds in the village had subsided.

He walked to the door and listened for a while.

The courtyard was empty and there was no sound.

He gently pushed open the door without making a sound and slipped into the night.

He did not take the main road at the entrance of the village.

Instead, they left the village through a small path behind the regimental headquarters and headed north along the foot of the mountain.

That road is rarely used during the day, and it's even more deserted at night, with weeds almost completely covering the surface.

He walked through a thicket of bushes and then climbed over a low ridge.

Finally, they stopped in a shady mountain hollow.

There is a naturally formed cave there, its entrance hidden by dense thorns and vines.

If the location is not known in advance.

From the outside, you would never guess that there is a place here where people can hide.

Zhou Tianyang pushed aside the vines and squeezed inside.

The cave is not large, but it can accommodate dozens of people.

The cave walls are made of hard rock, and the ground is dry.

He stood in the center of the cave, silently reciting in his heart.

"System, open the points mall."

The points mall is now open.

Current points: 38157.

A screen of light unfolded in his mind, and the list of items was clearly visible.

He skillfully located the section on weapons and ammunition.

Start working on each step one by one.

"System, exchange for 130 M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles and 13,000 rounds of ammunition."

[Confirmed redemption of 130 M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, consuming 2600 points.]

[Confirmed redemption of 13000 7.62mm standard ammunition, consuming 1300 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 34257.]

The item has been delivered to your system storage.

Zhou Tianyang didn't stop and continued speaking.

"System, exchange for thirty MP40 submachine guns and six thousand rounds of ammunition."

[Confirmed redemption of 30 MP40 submachine guns, consuming 3000 points.]

[Confirmed redemption of 6000 9mm standard ammunition, consuming 60 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 31197.]

The item has been delivered to your system storage.

Zhou Tianyang opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"System, extract all items to the current cave."

The moment the words fell.

As if by magic, a pile of wooden boxes appeared out of thin air in the cave.

The wooden crate almost filled most of the cave.

The top layer is the rifle case, and underneath it is the submachine gun case, which is slightly shorter than the rifle case.

Zhou Tianyang stood still, his gaze sweeping over the pile of wooden crates.

Everything was in place, nothing more and nothing less.

After dawn tomorrow.

All he needed to do was send soldiers to transport these things back to the regimental headquarters.

The rest is none of his concern.

Zhou Tianyang stood at the entrance of the cave.

He glanced back at the pile of wooden crates, then pushed aside the vines and crawled out.

Zhou Tianyang walked back along the same route, through the bushes, and over the low ridge.

We followed the path at the foot of the mountain back to the back of Lijia Yu.

The entire village remained silent.

He returned to the regimental headquarters quietly, pushed open the door, went inside, and lay down to sleep.

Early the next morning.

Zhou Tianyang then sent someone to summon Zhao Wenlong to the regimental headquarters.

"Commander, why are you looking for me so early?"

Zhao Wenlong pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhou Tianyang's gaze fell on Zhao Wenlong's face, his tone calm and direct.

"Wenlong, take some men and come with me somewhere."

Although Zhao Wenlong found it strange, he didn't ask any further questions.

He nodded, turned around, and went out to call for help.

In less than fifteen minutes, Zhou Tianyang set off with Zhao Wenlong and more than twenty soldiers.

He followed the same path he had taken the night before.

After passing through the thicket and climbing over the low ridge, we arrived at the cave hidden by thorns.

Zhao Wenlong stood at the entrance of the cave.

His eyes widened as he stared at the pile of wooden crates.

"Commander, what is this...?"

He moved closer and saw the markings and labels on the wooden box.

"M1 Garand!"

"And MP40 submachine guns!"

"Where did you get all this stuff?"

Zhou Tianyang stood at the cave entrance, his hands in his pockets, looking very casual.

"You can just move it back."

Zhao Wenlong wanted to ask more questions.

But seeing Zhou Tianyang's unwilling expression, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He turned his gaze away from the pile of wooden crates.

He nodded vigorously, then turned and shouted towards the outside of the cave.

"Come in and move your things!"

The soldiers responded and crawled into the cave.

Together, they carried the boxes of equipment out of the cave.

Zhao Wenlong stood at the cave entrance, watching as the wooden crates were carefully carried out.

The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

After a while.

He walked up to Zhou Tianyang and asked in a low voice:

"Commander, what should we do with this equipment?"

Zhou Tianyang glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curving slightly, but he didn't answer.

"After we get back, we'll move it into the warehouse first, and then we'll talk about it when Commander Li arrives with his men the day after tomorrow."

Dozens of soldiers carrying weapons and ammunition marched toward Lijia Yu.

Zhou Tianyang walked at the very back of the group.

He glanced back at the now empty cave.

The shrubs and vines still densely covered the entrance to the cave.

Everything returned to how it was before he arrived.

He looked away and quickened his pace to catch up with the group.

After Zhou Tianyang and his group returned to Lijia Yu.

Zhao Wenlong and his men carried the boxes of equipment into the warehouse with great efficiency.

Zhou Tianyang stood at the warehouse door, pondering in his mind the matter of Li Yunlong coming to replace him tomorrow.

This deal will be finalized tomorrow.

He was about to turn around and go back to the regimental headquarters.

A gentle voice came from behind me.

"Tianyang, you brought back so much stuff again this early in the morning?"

Zhou Tianyang turned around and saw Wang Xiuying standing at the gate of the courtyard.

His gaze passed over his shoulder and landed on the warehouse.

Her expression wasn't exactly surprised, but rather more like one of curiosity.

Zhou Tianyang smiled, without trying to hide it.

He stepped aside, giving Wang Xiuying a better view.

Wang Xiuying took a few steps closer, her gaze lingering on the wooden crates for a long while.

Then he turned around and looked at Zhou Tianyang.

"These guns, are they the same ones used in our regiment?"

"Yes, M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, and a batch of MP40 submachine guns, are all what Li Yunlong's side wants."

Zhou Tianyang spoke frankly.

Wang Xiuying remained silent for a few seconds.

"Tianyang, where did these things come from?"

Zhou Tianyang looked at her and understood what she was worried about.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Big sister, I have a channel that can get a small amount of weapons and equipment."

Wang Xiuying's gaze lingered on his face for a long while.

She nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"Fine, you have your own connections, that's your skill."

Wang Xiuying glanced at the equipment in the warehouse again and asked a question as if it were just a casual remark.

"Li Yunlong will be here tomorrow to replace them. Which battalion do you plan to assign these 140 men to?"

"They were all dispersed, with more than forty people from each of the three battalions being directly incorporated into the companies."
