is disgusting.

For a month, Huang Dayong only called Lu Chen over to act as a translator when needed; the rest of the time, Lu Chen stayed at the military police station.

"Ouch~ Why does my tooth hurt so much? It must be from eating too many sweets."

Lu Chen covered his left cheek as he walked out of the military police station and bought another bag of longevity peach cakes from a roadside stall.

During this month, Rat One's teachings made the five rats much smarter, which gave Lu Chen a great sense of accomplishment.

He felt a great sense of accomplishment in training a few mice to behave like this, even though he didn't teach them himself.

Then his appetite became extremely good, and he would eat some of the pastries that were brought back for him every time, which is why he has a toothache now.

"A month should be about right. It's time to send them out to gather intelligence for us."

Thinking this, Lu Chen bought several kinds of pastries from the street vendor. He ate some himself on the way home, gave some to Xiao Yao amidst his sister's protests, and then went into his room.

Lu Xiulian, Lu Chen's younger sister, would not enter Lu Chen's room unless there was a specific reason, which is why the rat was not discovered for a month.

"After we finish this meal, it's time to go out and see what you've accomplished."

The pastries were placed on the table, and several mice squeaked as they ate them.

After Lu Chen and Xiao Yao's efforts, there weren't many pastries left, but that was enough for the rats.

"Squeak squeak".

After finishing the pastries, Mouse One squealed, and then Mouse Two, Mouse Three, and the other three mice, as if they had received some kind of command, climbed out of Lu Chen's room through the window and disappeared.

"Sigh, hopefully we'll get some useful information this time."

After the first experience, Lu Chen wasn't very confident about the rats' ability to gather intelligence.

Don't find him some disabled person or businessman again this time. What he needs is valuable intelligence that can help him advance his mission!

Lu Chen couldn't fall asleep until it was dark, because he kept hearing explosions outside.

"What's going on? Has war broken out there?"

Standing by the window, Lu Chen could clearly see a red glow on the distant horizon, like firelight.

The explosion was very clear, it sounded like artillery fire.

"Squeak!"

Just then, Lu Chen saw a rat climb up the water pipe onto his windowsill.

"Rat Two?"

Lu Chen recognized the rat; it was Rat Two. It must have found some useful information to come looking for him now.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Rat Two stood up and barked twice at Lu Chen. Lu Chen turned around, put on his coat, opened the door, and went out.

"Where?"

Looking at the rat two that had crawled up to his shoulder from the ground, Lu Chen asked a question.

"Squeak squeak".

The rat chirped twice, and Lu Chen understood that it was telling him to follow its guidance.

When Lu Chen stepped out, he was wearing a hat. He pulled the brim down and hid in the darkness, avoiding the streetlights, and followed the direction indicated by Shu Er.

"Why are there so many refugees?"

During the day, this area is no different from usual, with only pedestrians and beggars. But why are there so many more people at night?

There were people on the streets and even on the roads. These people were covered in dust and dirt, and many of them were carrying bundles and carrying children. They were obviously refugees who had fled the country.

"Auntie, what's going on? Why are you all like this?"

Lu Chen stopped a passing refugee woman who was with a little girl, presumably her granddaughter.

"War has broken out outside the city, so we've come to this city to escape for our lives."

"Grandma, I'm hungry!"

As soon as the old lady finished answering Lu Chen's question, her little granddaughter said she was hungry and then burst into tears.

"Sigh, honey, where can we get food at this hour?"

The old woman rummaged through the pockets of her tattered coat for a while, but only managed to pull out a few weeds and nothing else.

In this era, even when there was no war, ordinary families rarely had a full meal. When war broke out, 80% of them would starve to death.

"Auntie, take this and have a good meal."

Lu Chen couldn't bear it, so he took out one hundred yuan and stuffed it into the old woman's hand, then looked at the crowd on the street.

"This world..."

Looking at these people, Lu Chen felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

In my past life, I had only heard about this scene in books during class, but when it actually happened before my eyes...

There are too many people; even if Lu Chen had a lot of money, he couldn't possibly help everyone.

He tore off his coat, casually draped it over a passing child, and then disappeared completely into the darkness.

......

......

Is this the place?

"Squeak squeak".

Lu Chen arrived near the central area of ​​Hua Jie, where there was a dance bar. Guided by Shu Er, Lu Chen came here.

Upon hearing Rat Two's confirmation, Lu Chen wrapped his only remaining sweater tighter around himself and strode into the dance hall.

The dance hall was packed with men and women, dancing to the deafening jazz music.

War broke out outside the city, and all the refugees fled into the city, where they indulged in revelry, drinking and dancing.

This scene presented a stark contrast to what Lu Chen had witnessed.

"Squeak squeak".

Mouse Two squeaked twice, then hid in the sleeve where Mouse One was.

Lu Chen looked at a man not far away. The man was dressed very well, with one arm around a woman and a glass of wine in the other.

Is this the person?

Lu Chen learned from Rat Two that the man in front of him was suspicious.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to be Chinese. Could he be a traitor? Or has the rat made another mistake?

Lu Chen took a glass of wine from the tray brought by the waiter, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the man.

"Brother Chuan, why are you here so early today?"

"I've been away doing business lately, and now that I've made some money, I've come to find you."

Cheng Jingchuan groped the woman beside him, but his eyes kept scanning the dance hall, as if he were looking for someone.

Seeing Cheng Jingchuan's expression, Lu Chen also looked around the room. Most of the people there were Chinese, and there were a few Japanese, but not many.

"I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."

Seeing a Japanese man enter the restroom, Cheng Jingchuan patted his bottom, stood up, and walked towards the restroom.

"Squeak squeak".

As soon as Lu Chen sat down, he saw Cheng Jingchuan stand up and walk towards the restroom. Lu Chen immediately recognized that the person who came out of the restroom was not Chinese.

Just then, the rat in the sleeve made a sound. The music in the dance hall was deafening, and only Lu Chen could hear the rat's cries.

That person is suspicious!

"Rat One, Rat Two, you two go..."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately and decisively issued a task to Er Shu. After receiving the task, Er Shu avoided the dancing crowd and went into the restroom.

ta ta ta ......

As soon as Cheng Jingchuan opened the bathroom door, his face contorted as if he had seen something extremely disgusting. He slammed the door shut and ran back quickly.

"What's wrong with Brother Chuan?"

The woman hugged Cheng Jingchuan curiously. "How come you came back so soon?"

"I don't know what happened, there are a bunch of rats in the toilet, it's disgusting, I'll go later."

The thought of rats all over the toilet made Cheng Jingchuan want to vomit; the scene was truly unforgettable.

Lu Chen smirked, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and stepped into the bathroom.
