Chapter 41: Joining Forces

  ……

  The car drove out of the Chen Gongguan, and Xu Fei followed the route in his memory to the civilian dock at Yingkou. After a silence in the car, Su Ershou seemed a bit sad and said:

  "Mr. Xu, you said why we Chinese people are afraid on our own land? Why are we shorter than foreigners by a head? Why did I scold two traitors, if it weren't for your twice helping me out, I almost lost my life, Uncle said you're a good fellow who dares to oppose the devils, otherwise I wouldn't go to Shanghai, how about I follow you to fight against the devils?"

  As they went further, Su Rongshou's eyes suddenly became brighter. Xu Fei slowed down the car and looked at the time, there was still an hour before the cargo ship departed. He smiled and didn't answer any of Su Rongshou's questions, instead asking:

  "Mr. Su, I'd like to ask what you originally studied?"

  "What about me? I used to study journalism at Yale University in the US, but unfortunately, not long after I returned to China, the Japanese army launched the September 18th Incident. I was originally a reporter for a small newspaper in Jinzhou, but when the Japanese army broke into Jinzhou, our newspaper office was burned down by them, so I had to return to Yingkou and become an assistant to Uncle Chen." Su Ershou said with a tinge of sadness.

  "What are you going to Shanghai for?" Xu Fei's mind had already started thinking of some special things, so he continued to ask.

  "Uncle Chen had a very close relationship with the editor-in-chief of Shanghai Shun Pao, so he introduced me to work as an intern reporter at Shun Pao." Su Ershou now trusts Xu Fei extremely and answers his questions honestly.

  "Good journalist! Good journalist!"

  Xu Fei's face suddenly became extremely excited, and he kept muttering to himself. After confirming something, he stopped the car on a deserted road with no one in sight and said in a low voice:

  "Little Su, I'll call you that from now on! Actually, you didn't have to follow me to fight the devils."

  "Why?" Su Shou looked at Xue Fei with a puzzled expression and asked.

  Xu Fei smiled mysteriously and said, "You're a reporter, huh? As long as you have the chance to publish in Shen Bao, your impact will be much greater than if you were to directly go to the battlefield to kill devils."

  “？？？”

  A string of question marks floated above Su Rui's head, and under the dim yellow light in the car, he looked foolishly at Xu Fei who was excited and felt strange.

  Xu Fei smiled and said:

  "Haha, you also know that I have a team under my command to fight against the Japanese, but our current identity is just a civilian armed force. It's very difficult to gather more people to join the anti-Japanese team."

  But you are a journalist, as long as you become a journalist, Shun Pao is now the most free newspaper, as long as you do this... at that time, I dare not say that people who participate in the anti-Japanese war will flock to it, but at least our team can make everyone familiar with and recognize us, so, being a journalist has a much greater impact than participating in the battle.

  Su Rong thought for a moment, and a sincere smile also appeared on his face. He nodded and said:

  "Mr. Xu's words suddenly enlightened me, but I didn't participate in the battle with the devils, so do I count as a member of your team?"

  "Count! How can it not count? From now on, you are a member of my Xu Fei's anti-Japanese team. However, you must remember that in front of outsiders, you cannot reveal your identity. Although Shanghai is relatively free in terms of speech, Chiang Kai-shek will absolutely not show mercy to those who sing a different tune from him."

  And that Red Party is too empty, you'd better not come into contact with them. Our team's goal is to drive out the alien tribes and expand the炎黄 (Chinese) race. Those guys who only know how to shout slogans are buying people's hearts everywhere. As long as you don't bother with them, it's fine. What we need to do is real work, not just shouting empty slogans, got it?

  Xu Fei didn't want this relatively honest and intelligent guy to be poached by others, so from the start he instilled some special ideas in him.

  In this era, people's information is not very developed, and everyone's thinking is not chaotic. As long as he determines the good or bad of a certain thing, it would be extremely difficult to correct it even if you try to persuade him to change his mind. Moreover, Xu Fei has saved Su Ershou's life twice in a row. For the words of the person who saved his life, after some analysis, he will exclude both the National Party and the Communist Party from his heart.

  "I remember, I'm now a member of the Extermination Squad, and I absolutely won't be bought off by the enemy or those who spout empty words. But then how am I supposed to get news about our squad from now on? I can't just fabricate some news out of thin air!"

  Su Rong soon entered a new role, as a new member of the Extermination Squad, he had to prepare for his own work.

  "En, this is easy to handle. After you arrive in Shanghai, if I have any news, I'll get your Uncle Chen to pass it on to you. If there's an opportunity, you can publish the news of our anti-Japanese squad. If anyone asks where the news came from, just tell them it was secretly provided by someone."

  I'll take you to the dock now, and after arriving in Shanghai, you can also find some people who can be trusted to join our anti-Japanese squad. Maybe it won't be long before we become an anti-Japanese company or battalion. Remember our goal and ideal: "Expel the alien race, strengthen the Yellow Emperor!" Xu Fei said with satisfaction to Su Ershou.

  "Yes! Captain."

  Su Leshou looked at Xue Fei with a serious and solemn expression, his voice as loud as an oath.

  The car started again, speeding towards the dock with a slight humming sound. Under the night sky, an American sailor took over Su Rong's luggage, and Su Rong followed him to quickly board a cargo ship of several thousand tons. Xu Fei turned the car around and headed in the direction of Tianyuan Travel Agency. Just as he was about to arrive at the agency, he drove the car into a deserted alley. He got out of the car and pressed his hand on the body, and in the instant when his eyes flickered, the entire Mazda 3 disappeared into thin air.

  "This system's space is really powerful, it's just a pity that it can only collect objects with power equal to its own, otherwise if I were to run to the Japanese military port, wouldn't those warships all become mine...” Xu Fei stood in the shadows, muttering to himself with a somewhat insufficient sense of self-satisfaction.

  In the shadow of the street, Xu Fei quickly made his way around to the back of the hotel, looked up at the fifth-floor window where he was staying which was still open, and jumped up, halfway through a wall, lightly touched it and flipped into the brightly lit living room.

  "Boss! You're back, how was it?" Chen Kai had not closed his eyes since Xu Fei left, he propped himself up on the sofa facing the window waiting for Xu Fei to return, as soon as Xu Fei entered through the window, he asked with wide open eyes.

  Xu Fei sat down, poured himself a glass of lukewarm water, took a big gulp, and slowly said:

  "The two have been rescued, and the other side, including that woman, a total of eight people were killed by me. By the way, our anti-Japanese team has gained a new member, Su Ershou. He is now on his way to Shanghai to work as a journalist for Shen Bao. I plan to let him publicize the achievements of our anti-Japanese team. If there are any special messages in the future, you can send someone to inform Chen Zhaoqing, the manager of Haining Foreign Firm, and he will find a way to deliver them to Su Ershou in Shanghai. However, for his safety, only you and I should know about Su Ershou's identity for now."
