Phi-Fic Chapter 510: Cannon Fodder in the War
Chapter 510: Cannon Fodder in the War
"Hmm? What knight?" Ning Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered. This wasn't the era of martial arts, so where did the knight come from? Was she not traveling to the Anti-Japanese War era she knew? Truly melodramatic novels couldn't be trusted.
"Huh? Don't you know about the knight?" He also saw the question in Ning Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Ning Xiaoxiao shook her head!
"You don't even know about the Knights' Group? That's impossible?" Now, the shopkeeper didn't know how to respond.
Ning Xiaoxiao shook her head with a puzzled look in her mind. He was a knight before, so why is there a knight group now?
"The Knights' Group is chivalrous, fights for justice, is generous, brave, eliminates violence and protects the good, helps the weak and the poor, and is willing to go to justice. When they see injustice, they draw their swords to help..." The shopkeeper spoke so passionately, and his admiration for the Knights' Group was like a surging river, endless, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, it was impossible to stop!
Ugh, what the hell is this?
"Okay, okay, stop praising them. What good things have they done to deserve your praise?" You're not done yet, right? Ning Xiaoxiao couldn't help but interrupt him.
She rolled her eyes secretly. They were going too far. She had done so many things, but no one had ever praised her like this. Who on earth were these Ghost Knights? Why were they so worshipped and admired by so many people?
She felt a little uncomfortable. Although she had donated the materials for free and done all the work voluntarily, she had never expected anything in return. But what the hell was that chivalrous group? Could they compare to her?
"They've done so many good things. They've wreaked havoc on all of Country R's operations. They hijacked an R military airport and killed all the staff there, including forty-six excellent pilots. This has caused Country R heavy losses..."
Ning Xiaoxiao didn't take it seriously. It was just an airport robbery, wasn't it? She'd done that before!
Then, the shopkeeper recounted the deeds of the Knights' Group one by one, such as how they robbed the grain warehouse of the R Army, how they rescued countless revolutionary comrades from them, and how they gave the looted supplies anonymously to the soldiers of the Red Army Zone for free...
The more Ning Xiaoxiao listened, the more familiar it felt. Wasn't this all her work? Although she wasn't familiar with the specific address the shopkeeper mentioned, she was the one who did it!
What? All the things she did were claimed by that so-called chivalrous man? A gentleman can tolerate her uncle, but not her aunt. No one has ever taken advantage of her...
Ning Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. Was she going to point the gun at her own people this time?
She waited patiently for the shopkeeper to finish telling all the glorious stories of the Knights' Group before handing him a glass of water.
"Have you seen the members of the Knights' Group? Did they choose this name themselves?" She wanted to see who was so bold as to steal her credit, but she must not catch him.
When the shopkeeper heard Ning Xiaoxiao's question, he became completely dejected.
"Of course not. The Knights' Group is a name given to them by everyone based on their actions! In fact, no matter which side they are from, no one has ever seen the true appearance of the Knights' Group. Even if they show up, they are fully armed and wearing masks. No one knows their identities or how many people there are in them. By the way, comrade, are you really not a member of the Knights' Group?" The shopkeeper asked hopefully at the end.
Ning Xiaoxiao finally understood what was going on after hearing this. So that's how it was. She was the Knights' Group. Haha, it was her own group. No, she had two tough helpers.
Suddenly thinking of the shopkeeper's adoring expression and words, Ning Xiaoxiao felt secretly pleased. Was she really being evaluated so highly? She hadn't done anything else; it was all what she was supposed to do. But she couldn't suppress her smile.
Then she asked again, cryptically, "How do you know they were a group and not just one person?"
The shopkeeper looked at her as if she was stupid, "Are you stupid? So much supplies, such a big plane, just disappeared overnight, can one person do it? So many devils were killed, can one person kill people? So many comrades were saved, can one person save them?"
"Which of these things can be done by one person? At least it takes a group, right? Judging from your expression and the questions you asked, I think you are not from the Knights' Group. People from the Knights' Group would definitely not ask such stupid questions." The shopkeeper said with a look of pride.
Is this how the name of the Knights' Group came about?
After hearing the shopkeeper's question, Ning Xiaoxiao touched her nose and thought, "Okay, she shouldn't have asked."
"Then why did you suspect me before? When I just came in, you were so excited that I thought we were blood relatives who had been separated for many years." Ning Xiaoxiao changed the subject!
The shopkeeper thought for a moment, his expression growing serious. "Actually, for a while now, everyone from Country R, our own people, and even the Nationalist Army have been searching for this group of knights! But we've also carefully analyzed and investigated their actions. Many of their actions benefit us, and it's clear they deeply hate the people of Country R."
"Why would we mistake you for one of the Knights? Isn't that normal? Regardless of whether you did it on purpose or not, you've left a lot of doubts, haven't you? The most important point is that you're not one of us. How did you get such important information?"
"Later, we contacted many people and learned that you had also given the last words to several other comrades!"
"Then you must be here. How did you meet those people? How did you successfully deliver this information? And Liu Liang is not stupid. Why would he trust you so much and hand over such important information to a stranger like you?
If you were captured by the R army, why did they capture you? Even if you were just an ordinary civilian, captured by them to be a soldier, how did you meet them who had different positions? How did you get out? Don't tell me that the Japanese defense is not strict, I don't believe it. "
"You said last time that they died in a horrific way. You must have witnessed their tragic scenes. To be able to deliver so much important information and the last words of so many people safely under the noses of the R Army, I think no one except the members of the Knight Group could do it!
Moreover, the appearance of the Knights' Group coincided with the Japanese invasion during that period. With so many coincidences put together, it's no longer a simple coincidence."
"So, young comrade, are you really that?" the shopkeeper kept talking while staring at her expression carefully, not missing any clues.
But Ning Xiaoxiao was no shrew. There was no suspicious expression on her face or eyes. But she was frightened. She had experienced the power of the soldiers and underground party members of this era before, and now she was deeply impressed. They were able to connect all the dots based on just a few words from her.
She hadn't thought about anything last time, and really just said a few words casually. However, with these few words, they not only guessed the truth of the matter, but also stripped Ning Xiaoxiao down to her underwear. This pair of underwear was her secret and her specific identity!
There is a reason why the author chose her as cannon fodder. Even if she had a new heart and read countless books, she still has more than ten lifetime experiences.
In terms of political vision, mind, logic, experience in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, experience in struggle, setting traps, how to be an excellent undercover agent, etc., she is not good enough in front of these people. She thought that if she didn't have these plug-ins, she would be killed by these people in minutes.
For a moment, she really wanted to be trained by these people.
But now it’s just a thought!
"If so, what will you do? If not, what will you do?" Ning Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and did not answer his question, but asked back.
"I don't think we and the Knights' Group are enemies. We have the same goal and the same enemy.
If you were a member of this group, please tell your group leader that we can communicate with each other, cooperate, and coordinate with each other to find a way to inflict heavy damage on the enemy and achieve ultimate victory!
"This is one of the reasons why we are looking for the Knight Group. Secondly, the Knight Group has helped our army a lot, and we also want to express our gratitude to them. Now that the Japanese are carpet-sweeping the Knight Group, we also want to see if there is any way we can help them!
We also know that the Knights' Group has many talented people from other worlds, and their abilities are beyond doubt, but we also want to do our part, and we can't let our friends in the Knights' Group make all the sacrifices, right? "
"Even if you're not, we still have to thank you. The fact that you agreed to do this and risked your life to deliver such important information to us proves that you are a very capable and intelligent person!
If you are willing, we also need talents like you, and you are very welcome to join; if you are not willing to join, we will also send you a small gift to express our gratitude. However, he did not mention that if you really want to join them, you will need to know your true background and loyalty.
In fact, they had also conducted various research and speculations about this comrade's personality and identity. He was able to deliver such important news to them, and he lived up to the trust of other revolutionary comrades and delivered their dying wishes to the designated person!
If he only came once, it would be fine. If he never showed up again, after all, the other person was dead and he had searched carefully, it wouldn't be considered a breach of trust. It would just mean that he was there for the occasion, and there would be no meeting today.
But when he didn't find the person last time, he came again. No matter what the reason was, it showed that this person was extremely trustworthy and kept his promises.
But no matter what, this young comrade in front of him has a secret. He is either of extraordinary status or powerful. Although there are doubts about him, he can be sure that he has no ill intentions towards them!
This is also the reason why he took the risk of revealing so much important information today when nothing was certain!
Now he looked carefully at the young comrade in front of him, trying to find some clues from his subtle movements and micro-expressions, but he didn't expect that this young comrade had quite good concentration.
Ning Xiaoxiao also knew that the person in front of her was extending an olive branch to her, regardless of whether she was a member of the knight group or not!
At the same time, she also heard the shopkeeper's unspoken words. If she joined them, she would need to know his true identity, and there would be a period of training and exercise later. She would have to obey the rules and follow the leadership's arrangements. She would be organized and disciplined...
But Ning Xiaoxiao didn't want this to happen. If possible, she didn't want anyone to know her true identity and special abilities, including the Red Party!
Otherwise, how could Ning Xiaoxiao, a little village girl, possess such great abilities? Therefore, there were doubts and loopholes everywhere. Although she had lost her parents, the villagers knew her background. If her true identity was exposed, they would either treat her as a monster and throw her into the pond, or treat her as a spy.
Even if she managed to survive, it would bring her countless dangers and troubles. Apart from anything else, the Japanese would definitely not let her go. They would kill her at any cost and by any means possible.
Even if she is on the red side, she may not be completely safe, especially when she has such a supernatural ability. It is a threat to everyone's life.
Now, the nation is in trouble, and we must rally all forces we can to face the enemy head-on. But what will happen after the war? Who can guarantee that everyone's humanity will stand the test? There are many who would destroy what they can't get!
Who knows if, after her success, some narrow-minded leaders will become wary of her? Will they, like the imperial family, use the opportunity to kill the donkey and restrict her freedom? After all, who would allow others to sleep beside their bed? Who would keep someone who could kill them at any time?
There was no such threat before, but now it exists!
So she can have a pseudonym, a code name, or be anonymous, and she can also cooperate to do some things. After all, what he said is right. Unity and cooperation will play a greater role.
Although fighting alone is exciting, it is also very likely to disrupt their plans. Not to mention other things, if there is an undercover agent, he is likely to treat them as Japanese devils.
But you must be careful and never reveal your identity, or retire at a certain time and place!
So she suddenly thought that it would be nice to let everyone think that they were a gang committing crimes!
Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoxiao made a decision. She smiled faintly and said, "You think too highly of me. Thank you for your appreciation. But I'm just a messenger. You can see that I'm still young. What can I do? I won't bother you raising the child!"
"However, I can try to convey the information you want to know. As for the outcome, I don't know." Ning Xiaoxiao said, spread her hands, and looked at him innocently.
"Okay, that's good, that's good!" Although they regretted that this comrade could not join them, they could understand it. What's more, there was unexpected news. It was also the first time they knew the exact news about the Knight Group.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now!"
"Comrade, please wait a moment!" The shopkeeper walked to the door and soon came back with a box.
He opened the box, unloaded the contents one by one, and explained to her, "This is the radio, here are the operating instructions and precautions, here is the code book, and here are the batteries. No matter what the situation, we'll contact you by telegram at 10:30 p.m. seven days from now. Comrade, do you think this is feasible?"
"Are you so sure that I can find the Knights' Group?" Before she agreed, things like the radio appeared.
"Comrade Liu Liang and the others all believe in you."
