When Zhuo Fei was awakened, the sky had already appeared white, listening to Angela's voice teasing Margaret in the room, Zhuo Fei, who had woken up, couldn't help frowning, reaching out and rubbing his bloodshot eyes, Zhuo Fei couldn't remember how he fell asleep. "Angela's mother, he's awake." Although Zhuo Fei hadn't gotten up from the bed yet, his action of reaching out and rubbing his eyes was seen by Margaret, who immediately gave the report he saw to Angela, who was ironing Zhuo Fei's shirt.

Zhuo Fei, who heard the child's voice, turned his head and happened to look at the little girl with curious eyes, Zhuo Fei, who had only slept for less than 2 hours, was still a little groggy at this time, but he still made a grimace at the little girl's teeth, causing the little girl to giggle and laugh. "Why are you here? Aren't they helping Mr. Hansen register supplies with Miss Vivian? Zhuo Fei, who got up from the bed, reached out and grabbed the herbal tea on the table and poured it hard, and then asked Angela, who was ironing clothes outside the room.

"It's pretty much enough to have Vivien over there to help, I'm back to prepare breakfast, and Mr. Hansen said you need clean clothes today." Angela's injuries have already healed, but Hansen still doesn't allow Angela to do heavy work, so she only takes care of Margaret every day, or helps with chores or something, and she has plenty of time.

Following Angela's line of sight, he glanced at the clothes that had been neatly stacked, but Zhuo Fei shook his head, "No need, I'll just wear yesterday's clothes, and if I wear a clean one, it will be dirty." Ignoring Angela's muttering, Zhuo Fei put down the water cup and picked up the bloody clothes that he took off last night from the corner of the room and went behind the screen, and when he came out again, the smell of blood emitted from the bloody clothes made the little girl who was still very alive just now hide behind Angela early.

Angela didn't care much about the smell of blood in the room, she just reached out and took Zhuo Fei's pajamas and hung them on the screen, and dragged a large bag from under the table to Zhuo Fei and signaled, "Your things are in the bag, Mr. Hansen said that when you go out of the safe zone, it's best not to take out the contents of the bag, he is afraid that the civilians in the safe zone will panic." Zhuo Fei opened the box and took a look, and found that the bag contained the weapons and equipment he had put on the table last night, so he took the weapons out of the bag directly.

While checking the firearm in his hand, he whispered to Angela, "Go and tell Hansen that this is a safe zone, but it also needs to make the civilians in the safe zone nervous." This is just a temporary place to house them, not a foolproof place to retire, once the Japanese army breaks through the city defenses, there will definitely be Japanese soldiers in the safe area to search for soldiers. Therefore, it is better for the civilians in the security zone to get used to seeing people with guns as early as possible, so as not to have an accident when facing the Japanese soldiers. ”

Zhuo Fei's answer made Angela speechless, especially Zhuo Fei's action of inspecting the firearm in front of Margaret, which made Angela frown, she didn't think it was a good move to fiddle with a firearm in front of a child. "I advise you not to care about these things, Margaret's family died at the hands of the Japanese army, and maybe what she has experienced has not even happened to us. She's still young, and if she could, I'm guessing she'd love to kill a few Japanese soldiers to avenge her family. ”

Zhuo Fei's first half of his words were to persuade Angela, but the second half of his words were pure nonsense, the little girl who quietly probed out from behind Angela and looked at Zhuo Fei secretly was obviously only four or five years old, how could such an old child know to avenge his family. Angela, who knew that she couldn't talk about Zhuo Fei, didn't answer the conversation, but just stared and brought breakfast to Zhuo Fei, Zhuo Fei hadn't finished breakfast yet, and Zhuo Yan, who was already ready to go, came in from outside.

There is bound to be a fierce battle today, so Zhuo Fei doesn't want Zhuo Yan to follow him, but no matter how he persuades him, the stubborn Zhuo Yan just shakes his head. "Stone, it's okay if you have to, but let's talk about it first, when I say I want you to come back, no matter what the situation is, you must come back here immediately, even if it's just you." Zhuo Yan didn't understand what Zhuo Fei meant at all, but when he heard Zhuo Fei promise to follow him, he happily nodded and agreed.

"Boss, it's a good day." Hansen, who hurried to see him off, tried to change the topic so that the slightly depressing atmosphere would be a little better, but his words made Zhuo Fei's brows furrow even tighter. Indeed, today's weather is very good, but unfortunately the weather with good visibility is also a good time for the Japanese army to attack the city, and today is December 13th, and the city of Nanjing was broken by the Japanese army in a few days.

"Boss Zhuo, these brothers were all temporarily summoned by me, but the weapons are not enough, and most of them are empty-handed." The man surnamed Niu, who volunteered to follow Zhuo Fei to fight against the Japanese army last night, had been waiting outside the safety zone for a long time, and there were more than 50 people gathered behind him. Hearing this, Zhuo Fei looked at the crowd behind the man surnamed Niu, and most of the people Zhuo Fei looked around were rout soldiers wearing shabby military uniforms, and many of them were only left with a shabby military uniform, and the weapons were long gone.

"Don't worry, there are a lot of weapons in the city, as long as you find the right place, there are weapons for them to use." After looking around at these people, Zhuo Fei lightly replied to the man surnamed Niu, and then turned around and whispered to Han Sen. "Mr. Hansen, there may be a lot of routs of the national army running to the side of the security zone today, remember the countermeasures we discussed last night, whether it is a wounded soldier or a rout with a gun, they can't be allowed to enter the safe zone, I am afraid that the civilians we are sheltering now have already mixed in with the Japanese spies, we can't give the Japanese army an excuse and reason to search the security zone on a large scale."

Zhuo Fei's advice made Han Sen nod his head, "Boss, don't worry, I know what to do." According to what you said, I have already sent people to the printing house to make a lot of small maps of Nanjing, and I have already marked the route from the safe zone to Rujiangmen, and as long as the rout troops come to us, Hefman and they will send those maps to the rout, guiding them to Rujiangmen and walk down the gate to cross the river. ”

Waving goodbye to Han Sen and the others who came to see him off, Zhuo Fei took the man surnamed Niu into an alley, and several black-shirted men who had been waiting here immediately opened the two gates at the entrance of the alley, and two trucks that had been painted black drove out of it. Zhuo Fei, who climbed into the carriage, threw out several bundles of clothes from the carriage vigorously, and then shouted at the routs behind the man surnamed Niu, "Give you five minutes to change your clothes, and burn the military uniforms on the spot. ”

Five minutes later, regardless of whether the clothes fit well or not, the routs standing by the truck all changed into dark cotton clothes and pants, although the cotton clothes and cotton pants were thinner, but they were still better than the single clothes and pants that the routs were wearing. "Before I get in the car, I still have something to say to you, I don't care if you follow my orders, and I don't care if you can fight, I just want to explain one thing, don't hurt my business, and don't drag me back." After saying this, Zhuo Feili ignored the rout soldiers who began to make noise, and just ordered them to board the car and set off.

The sun rose little by little, and the truck stopped when it drove to Zhongshan Avenue, not because Zhuo Fei deliberately tossed these routs on the car, but because weapons and ammunition that had been deliberately discarded appeared on the side of the road one after another. "Get out of the car, go and pick up guns, make sure everyone has a gun, 200 bullets, if you can pick up grenades, the more the better." The routs, dressed in cotton clothes and trousers, were driven out of their carriages, their expressions made even more difficult to look at by the discarded weapons and ammunition on the side of the road.

Before the war, Zhuo Fei had distributed leaflets in the city twice in a row, trying to guide the residents of the city to leave Nanjing, but the facts proved that Zhuo Fei's arrangements were not very effective, although many residents of Nanjing City had crossed the river to escape the war, but still many residents remained at home. Coupled with the refugees who came into the city from around Nanjing, the originally slightly deserted Nanjing city became lively again, just when Zhuo Fei and they were picking up weapons and ammunition along Zhongshan Avenue, there were still residents hiding at home on the street one after another, and Zhuo Fei even saw rickshaw drivers busy soliciting customers.

Zhuo Fei has now gritted his teeth with hatred for Tang Shengzhi, the commander of Nanjing's city defense, who advocated defending Nanjing but privately arranged a retreat for himself, if it weren't for his so-called remarks about the coexistence of the Japanese army and Nanjing, I am afraid that these civilians in Nanjing would not stay in the city so sparingly. "Stop them, since they have all withdrawn and are about to run away, I'm afraid they won't be able to use the weapons on their bodies, so it's better to leave them for us." From time to time, soldiers with weapons appeared on Zhongshan Avenue, and Zhuo Fei didn't care about 3721, but just asked his routs to intercept those soldiers and ask for their weapons and ammunition.

Suddenly, a series of piercing air raid sirens sounded throughout the city of Nanjing, and a large number of silver-gray Japanese planes appeared over the city of Nanjing, and the plaster flag under the wings was so obvious at this time, so terrified that the people of Nanjing. The faces of some knowledgeable people in the crowd changed, and they hurriedly shouted: "It's bad, it's an air raid siren, and the Japanese planes are coming to bomb our Nanjing City!" ”

"The planes of the Japanese? If they want to bomb the army and fortifications, they should not bomb our worthless places. Some people put on a look that they seem to understand, but in fact, their hearts are also cold at the moment. As soon as the words fell, the people on the street only felt the ground shaking under their feet. With a bang, the people on the street finally panicked, screaming and running in all directions.
