Chapter 1125 Yue Yunlai
Chapter 1125 Yue Yunlai
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Jiyun's heart tightened, and he quickly raised his gun and aimed it accurately at the source of the sound.
After a while, apart from the people not far behind them still discussing the giant snake, there was no movement opposite them.
Just as she was about to lower her guard, suddenly, the gun in Oda's hand rang out.
"boom!"
Don't shoot! I...I'm not...a Japanese soldier...
Immediately afterwards, a faint and intermittent shout came from the spot where Koda had just fired.
Jiang Jiyun immediately became alert, her gun ready to fire at any moment, prepared to kill the person if he showed any unusual behavior.
Oda shone the flashlight beam into the corner where the sound was coming from.
They saw a man with scratches and abrasions on his face and dressed in tattered clothes slowly emerging from behind a large tree.
Every step he took seemed so difficult, as if he might collapse at any moment, yet his eyes revealed an indescribable urgency and longing.
Xiao Tian immediately shouted: Who are you? Why are you hiding here so secretly to spy on me?
Faced with Oda's stern questioning, the man did not respond. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the people lying haphazardly on the ground not far away, and his body trembled violently involuntarily.
He completely ignored Xiaotian's question and stumbled towards the group of people.
Perhaps due to excessive tension, or perhaps due to severe injuries leading to exhaustion, the man slipped after only a few steps and fell to the ground in a disheveled state.
But he did not give up. Instead, he braced himself against the ground and struggled to climb toward the chaotic crowd.
daughter in law!
Where are you guys?!
As they drew closer, the man's cries grew more desperate, and tears streamed down his face.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to find his lost relatives as soon as possible.
The gunfire not only alerted the soldiers at the front, but also attracted the attention of the soldiers at the rear.
Upon hearing the gunshot, the soldiers gripped their weapons tightly and rushed toward the source of the sound.
When they arrived at the scene, they saw Xiao Tian and Jiang Jiyun gripping their guns tightly, watching a man warily.
The man, his face streaked with tears, frantically searched the ground for his lost family members as he wept.
After scanning the area, Yan Jin and Gu Tianlun quickly spotted the group of figures lying on the ground.
They immediately realized that these people were the innocent civilians who had been terrified by the Japanese soldiers.
At this moment, the people on the ground also began to gradually wake up.
When they opened their eyes and found themselves in this completely unfamiliar environment, they were filled with fear and unease.
They didn't make a sound, but just silently huddled in place, their bodies trembling slightly, not daring to move an inch.
What's wrong with them? Xiao Tian frowned, staring at those people with a puzzled look on his face, and asked Jiang Jiyun beside him in confusion.
Jiang Jiyun sighed deeply and replied in a heavy tone: "These people may have suffered cruel torture and taming at the hands of the Japanese devils, and now they have become timid, cowardly, and utterly powerless to resist. Perhaps the reason the Japanese devils kept them here wasn't just to use them as experimental subjects, but also to use them as food reserves for that giant snake..."
"Father! Look at me! It's me, Yunlai!" Yue Yunlai shook the lifeless man in front of him, who seemed to have lost his soul, his face covered in tears.
"Mother! Look at me! I am your son Yunlai!" Then, he turned his gaze to another woman who was equally withered and thin, like a walking corpse, and continued to shout at the top of his lungs.
The two seemed unresponsive to the sounds from the outside world, yet they held each other tightly.
No matter how much Yue Yunlai shook the couple, they remained unmoved, as if they didn't recognize the young man crying in front of them at all.
Yue Yunlai was frantic with worry. He shook the two of them violently while crying out, "Father! Mother! Don't you really remember me? I'm A-Lai! The A-Lai you raised with such care!"
Just then, the old woman, who had been expressionless, slowly raised her head, a faint light flashing in her eyes.
In a trembling voice, she asked, "Son? Has Alai come back?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Yunlai was overjoyed. He immediately rushed to his mother's side, tightly grasped her thin, bony hand, and said excitedly, "Mother, Mother, it's me! It's me, Alai! You finally recognized me!"
Upon seeing his mother regain a little consciousness, Yue Yunlai could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears like a child.
The old woman stared intently at the young man before her, and when she finally recognized his face, she burst into tears.
"My son! My son... Waaah... Do you know how tragically your wife died..."
When Jiang Jiyun, who was standing to the side, heard the name "Yue Yunlai", he couldn't help but frown.
So this person is Yue Yunlai! Could he be the mastermind behind the robbers' massacre of innocent civilians?
But if that's the case, then what roles did Chen Dong and Chen Feng play in this incident?
Were they merely pawns in Yue Yunlai's game, or did they conspire with him to carry out this bloody massacre?
At this moment, Chen Dong also arrived. He threw down the wooden stick in his hand and ran towards the crowd.
"Sister! Mother! Where are you?!" Chen Dong shouted loudly at the crowd.
Jiang Jiyun whispered a few words to Xiaotian, who nodded and turned to leave.
Just then, the company commander strode over.
He walked up to the soldiers and said firmly, “Comrades, the situation here is urgent. We cannot stay here any longer. You must immediately escort these civilians to safety.”
Upon hearing the company commander's order, the soldiers sprang into action.
They tried to call out to the people huddled on the ground, but no matter how earnestly they tried to persuade them, the people did not respond at all, and instead seemed to want to curl themselves into a ball.
As time ticked by, those people still dared not stand up.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Jiang Jiyun quickly pulled out a whip from his spatial storage and swung it forcefully into the air.
Two sharp cracks rang out as the whip drew two sharp arcs in the air, producing a deafening sound.
This sudden turn of events startled everyone present, especially those who had been huddled on the ground, who trembled and involuntarily shivered.
Immediately afterwards, those figures that had been motionless just moments before sprang to their feet as if electrocuted, their movements so swift as to be astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, everyone stood up straight, their eyes filled with fear and awe.
