243: Chapter 243: Discovered a Mysterious Cave 243: Chapter 243: Discovered a Mysterious Cave Dealing with these Japanese, Xiang Yu had a headache.
These matters had already exceeded his scope of management.
If the other party had been utterly reprehensible criminals, he wouldn’t have hesitated to call his brothers and take them out.
But since the adversaries were foreigners and military personnel, even a slight mishandling could cause a terrible impact.
He wanted to inform Commander Cao about this issue and let him handle it.
But these Japanese had almost blown him and Tie Zhuzi up, so he couldn’t just let them off easily.
That noon, Xiang Yu was sitting in the hall, idly watching the TV that was hanging on the wall.
The majority of the news was leaders showing off their political achievements, which made Xiang Yu feel nauseous.
Just as he was about to turn it off, another piece of news caught his attention.
The report said that many children had been missing recently, and the relevant departments were increasing their investigative efforts, urging parents to keep an eye on their children.
Seeing this news, Xiang Yu suddenly thought of that secretive organization.
That organization really harmed people, and he was determined to destroy it.
By then, he had already planned to target that organization after dealing with the Japanese.
Seeing that there was no more important news on TV, Xiang Yu turned it off.
Just as he turned off the TV and picked up his phone to call Shi Jian, Shi Jian hurried in from outside.
“Xiang Yu, those Japanese have been frequently visiting the small mountain to the south recently, and I suspect something is off there,” said Shi Jian.
“The small mountain to the south?” Xiang Yu asked doubtfully.
The mountain range to the south wasn’t large and lacked potential for tourism development, rendering the area relatively secluded with little interest from developers.
“Don’t tell anyone about this.
Keep our guys cautious and make sure we aren’t noticed,” said Xiang Yu.
“Don’t worry, I know the limits,” Shi Jian replied.
That evening, Xiang Yu along with Shi Jian and another headed toward the small mountain to the south.
The further south they went, the fewer buildings and vehicles there were.
When they were a few miles from the mountain, they stopped their vehicles and proceeded on foot towards the mountain.
They weren’t walking on the main path, but rather taking a roundabout way toward the mountain.
Tie Zhuzi found this detouring somewhat baffling, seeing it as an over-precaution on Xiang Yu’s part.
“Stop,” Xiang Yu suddenly whispered.
All four men quickly crouched down.
There was no moon that night, making it easy for them to hide.
“What is it?” whispered Shi Jian.
They all looked in the direction Xiang Yu was pointing, where under a distant tree, there was someone moving.
Without careful observation, one would hardly notice.
Shi Jian and the others looked at Xiang Yu admiringly, not speaking to one another, then circled around without alerting that person.
They continued moving forward stealthily and soon encountered another sentry.
Initially unaware of the route, these people unintentionally guided Xiang Yu and his crew.
The four arrived at the base of the small mountain, where they spotted a well-hidden cave entrance.
The entrance wasn’t too big, just large enough to fit a truck through.
Two people were hiding on either side of the entrance.
On the surface, these two seemed listless just sitting there, but Xiang Yu knew they were observing their surroundings.
“I’ll go up and take them out,” Tie Zhuzi said, ready to rush forward.
Now that they had discovered the entrance, he was eager to see what was inside the cave.
Seeing Tie Zhuzi’s reckless behavior, Shi Jian quickly grabbed him and said, “Don’t be impulsive, listen to Xiang Yu.”
Xiang Yu frowned and said, “Shi Jian, you and Tie Zhuzi stay here and don’t move.
Wu Xuan and I will go over and knock them out.” After speaking, Xiang Yu glanced at Wu Xuan and then they both cautiously moved forward.
Having undergone professional training by Wu Jing, who had a background as a sniper and was adept at concealment, Wu Xuan was naturally sniper material and even surpassed Wu Jing in this regard.
Wu Xuan quietly circled around, getting within a few meters of the target.
He and Xiang Yu struck at the same time, then quickly stepped forward to face the man.
Xiang Yu, with lightning speed, chopped his hand like a blade to the back of the man’s neck, knocking him out instantly.
Wu Xuan was even more decisive; he grabbed the opponent’s head and twisted violently, causing his head to turn unnaturally and killing him instantly.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Wu Xuan’s murderous intent was too strong and could potentially pose a great danger to society if not properly guided.
“Don’t kill people recklessly,” Xiang Yu reminded with a frown.
Since they were still uncertain about the situation inside, killing now could potentially lead to wrongful deaths.
After finishing up, Shi Jian and Tie Zhuzi carefully approached as well.
Tie Zhuzi, looking excited, exclaimed to Wu Xuan, “Well done killing them; those devils deserved it.”
“Shi Jian, Zhuzi, you two stay here while Wu Xuan and I go in,” Xiang Yu instructed.
“Be careful, both of you,” Shi Jian said worriedly, as they were all unaware of what might be inside.
Knowing the capabilities of Xiang Yu and Wu Xuan, Shi Jian didn’t insist on going in.
Xiang Yu and Wu Xuan no longer talked, instead carefully walking towards the inside.
Shi Jian and Tie Zhuzi stayed outside and first hid the bodies lying on the ground.
When Tie Zhuzi noticed one of them was still breathing, he promptly strangled him to death.
“Didn’t you hear what Xiang Yu said?
Don’t kill recklessly,” Shi Jian scolded.
Tie Zhuzi nonchalantly replied, “These Japanese devils all deserve to die.
They nearly bombed Xiang Yu to death.
If we don’t kill them, they will eventually take our lives.”
Tie Zhuzi was assertive, and Shi Jian had no way to reason with him.
Tie Zhuzi listened only to Xiang Yu and no one else.
After handling the two bodies, they each sat down mimicking the pose of the men they had killed.
“Bro Shi Jian, why does it smell so strong in here, like that pesticide smell from the countryside back in the day?” Tie Zhuzi commented, frowning.
Shi Jian sniffed the air but didn’t detect any smell, and without a word, he just clicked his tongue.
He knew Tie Zhuzi had a keen sense of smell, so it wasn’t unusual for him to detect scents inside.
Xiang Yu and Wu Xuan cautiously walked further inside.
At first, it was pitch black, the kind of darkness where you can’t see your hand in front of your face, but after adjusting to it, they could now vaguely make out some objects.
They cautiously moved forward about ten meters, then turned a corner and walked a few more meters before stopping.
Suddenly, a pungent odor wafted from a staircase ahead, a scent Xiang Yu had encountered before…
(The contains some horror and gore.
