The flashbang exploded, and except for Tang Shuxing, the other four American soldiers had no time to react, and covered their eyes after screaming.

Tang Shuxing, who closed his eyes and blocked his eyes with his arms, sprinted forward, trying to catch that guy back and ask what was going on, although this team of American troops was not his own, but who was the person who mixed into their team, he also wanted to find out, maybe he could find out what these American troops on the island were here to do.

"Horace!" The Heavy finally called the sniper's name and motioned for the person in front of him to stop, but the sniper didn't listen at all, and ran away, throwing his gas mask to the ground in the process of running, and his body was constantly cut by the sharp stones around him, but he still didn't stop.

"Hey-" Tang Shuxing saw in the rear that a large hole had been cut off on the neck of the sniper Horace, but the person was still ignoring it, slamming around like a headless fly, "Don't run!" You're going to die! ”

"I ......" Horace in front of him suddenly spoke, but said a word as if he had choked back on something, very strange.

Finally, Horace in front of him fell and rolled down at a ramp in the cave because it was too slippery, and by the time he got below, he was covered in flesh and blood.

Tang Shuxing rushed to the front, helped Horace up, and was about to check the injury, when the machine gunner also jumped down, pressed the wound on Horace's neck with his hand, and called for others to come and rescue him, and at the same time pushed Tang Shuxing away.

Although he was wearing a gas mask, because of the strong light, Tang Shuxing could clearly see the vicious eyes of the machine gunner. He thinks he killed his teammates.

Tang Shuxing stood there, looking at Horace, who was constantly twitching, and always felt that something was wrong.

Even if this guy is sent by a certain faction in the current US government, there is no need for him to run away, right? His IQ is not so low as to think that only by the words of his own "captive". Teammates will tie themselves up and send them back for interrogation? Tang Shuxing really didn't understand.

Lying in the arms of the heavy, Horace clenched his fists and swung them up and down, pointing ahead, and stabbing his hand in that direction as if to say something was there.

"Horace! It's okay, we'll take you back! Hold! He clutched the wound on Horace's neck, but Horace's bent legs slowly relaxed. The head is dead.

The other three soldiers around him bowed their heads. Long. The Messenger stepped forward and patted the Heavy on the shoulder, signaling that the wound could be loosened, and that Horace was dead.

The Heavy let go of Horace and looked at his hands covered in blood. He whispered to everyone to take turns carrying Horace's corpse. Go back right now. Tang Shuxing judged from their performance. This sniper was supposed to be the first soldier to die in their operation.

"You, carrying him." The Heavy got up and told Tang Shushu to carry Horace's corpse.

Tang Shuxing nodded. The Heavy blamed himself for his companion's death, and it was better not to provoke the other party at this time, so he carried Horace's body on his back as the Heavy asked, and then led the way forward, followed by four American soldiers with guns.

In the process of advancing, Tang Shuxing clearly remembered that the direction that the machine gunner pointed to before was not here, but this cave was extended in all directions, and it was estimated that they themselves were all lost, and in this kind of place, what GPS and compass did not have any effect, so he could only rely on his own judgment, and he also wondered how these five American soldiers got in? However, he recalled the story that Ah Yue told about the Japanese photographer, and subconsciously turned around and asked the machine gunner, "Did you drill into the hole from the basement of a building in Hashima?" ”

The Heavy stood up suddenly, then walked quickly to Tang Shuxing, approached Tang Shuxing and asked, "What else do you know?" ”

"I'm just guessing." Tang Shuxing shook his head and said, and at the same time knew that he had guessed correctly.

The Heavy slowly shook his head: "Guess? No one can guess so sure, who are you? ”

"I think it's strange, it stands to reason that if you are really a special force of the US military, you shouldn't know who I am." Tang Shuxing also shook his head and said, this is the truth, he and Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng have been involved in so many things, and they have long been blacklisted by various countries, normally speaking, their affairs in Japan are also clear to the US intelligence department, and it is impossible for this group of troops to come to Hashima by coincidence, why do these troops not know about them?

Apparently, the Heavy was reluctant to answer his question, but simply glanced at him and urged him to move on.

Tang Shuxing walked away without saying a word, but in the direction that Horace had pointed before he died, although the Heavy and his subordinates remained calm, they actually knew that Lu Dao was lost, and pinned their hopes on Tang Shuxing, a stranger who might know this place well, but also warned that he would lead himself into a trap or an ambush circle.

After advancing for about a few tens of meters, because the ground was slippery and there was no light at all, they were moving extremely slowly, and Tang Shuxing, a mutant, was also aware of the gradual change in the air quality in this harsh environment, not to mention, mixed with other things inside, even he felt a little difficult to breathe.

The four American soldiers in the rear slowed down and began to bite the breathing apparatus to move forward, and at the same time they were even more suspicious of Tang Shuxing's identity - because this kid was still alive and well in an environment where the air was so thin and full of poisonous gases, not to mention that he was carrying such heavy equipment, and he was also carrying a strong man who was dead and weighed more than 170 pounds.

"Stop!" Tang Shuxing raised his fist with one hand free, signaling the person behind him to stop, because he saw something dangling in front of him, and motioned for the machine gunner to hold a strong light to illuminate his position.

The machine gunner stepped forward and shone a flashlight with a strong flashlight, and found that there was a hole in front of him, and many bones of Bai Sensen were piled up in the hole.

Tang Shuxing was about to step forward, but the machine gunner stopped him, waved his hand and signaled his men to check, and then the signal soldier stayed, and two rifles with guns stepped forward to check the entrance of the cave for a while, and soon one of them came back and reported: "There is a tunnel ahead, it looks like it should be a mine." ”

"The mines." The Heavy nodded, and Tang Shuxing also knew that he should be able to go to the ground in this way. Hashima was originally a coal mine.

Everyone got out of the cave and walked into the mine tunnel, and after entering, everyone was stunned, because the rows on both sides of the tunnel were full of bones, basically sitting on the side of the tunnel, many people still had sharp weapons inserted on the surface of their bodies, and the bones of many people were obviously broken, and the sternum, skull, and leg bones had been beaten by heavy objects, and these people were all killed.

"Sir. It looks like there are at least fifty or sixty skeletons here. The skeletons were all about 170 centimeters tall, and they were all Asian, and judging from the surface of the skeletons, it was roughly determined that they had been dead for at least several decades. "The communications corps in the team also has a lot of experience in the role of team doctor. It doesn't seem to be the kind of goods that have been in the army for two or three years. This made Tang Shuxing even more suspicious of the origin of this batch of teams.

Tang Shuxing stood there and watched. Squatting in front of a skeleton wearing only thin underwear, he looked at it carefully, and said for a long time: "Most of the people here have no clothes to wear, and it is estimated that they should be laborers taken by Japan from the invaded countries during World War II." Most are Chinese and North Korean. ”

The Heavy nodded silently and motioned for the communications corps to take a picture with his camera.

Tang Shuxing looked at their actions, shook his head and said, "What are you going to do when you shoot it?" These bones have nothing to do with your mission, and even if they are photographed, I don't believe that you Americans will do justice for these dead laborers? Aren't you the ones who are sheltering the invaders behind their backs? ”

Speaking of this, Tang Shuxing didn't say any more, because now those people have paid a heavy price in Gong Liang Boli's bloody plan, but by doing so, they can't really surpass these people who died in a foreign land.

During World War II, in order to support the Pacific War and solve the problem of domestic labor shortage, the Japanese cabinet formulated the "Decision on the Matter of Importing Chinese Labor to China" in 1942. Subsequently, the Japanese began to transport captured soldiers and forcibly conscripted civilians from northern, central, and northeastern China to Japan to become coolies.

From the clearly recorded lists and documents, it is found that from April 1943 to May 1945, Japan took 169 batches of laborers from China alone, a total of 41,758 people, of which nearly 3,000 died on the way to Japan, most of these people were young adults aged 20-49, including 157 child laborers, 248 people over 60 years old, and 12 people over 70 years old.

The men were transported to various parts of Japan and forced to serve in 135 business units. These laborers, who were almost like slaves, had no clothes to wear, at most they were wrapped in straw, and they worked barefoot in the bitter cold of winter, working almost 15 hours a day, dying of disease, starvation, and being tortured and buried alive.

There were also some Chinese laborers in Hashima, including a large number of North Korean employees, but after the war, many of them were listed as missing and not found, and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs later concocted a report that whitewashed the statistics, and their number accounted for less than 20% of the real number.

"Many years ago, there were surviving laborers who applied for compensation, but in fact, compensation is a matter of explanation." Tang Shuxing put down Horace's corpse, looked at the bones in front of him and said, "Some companies in Japan promise everyone some money, but in the compensation letter, do you know what the purpose of the money written by Lu Dao is?" ”

The machine gunner turned his head to look at Tang Shuxing, and Tang Shuxing said word for word: "It's 'relief', that is, in those miscellaneous people who think they are pitying these people, these surviving laborers are blackmailing them......" Thinking of this, Tang Shuxing shook his head and smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt that what Gong Liang Boli did was not cruel at all, but just did what some victims wanted to do with clenched fists and gritted teeth before falling asleep every day.

That's all.

"Three-year-old children know that they can't lie, they admit their mistakes, and change them when they know their mistakes." Tang Shuxing sat down, looked at the machine gunner and said, "Hey, do me a favor, you do me this favor, I'll help the four of you get out alive, otherwise you'll die." ”

The machine gunner looked at Tang Shuxing suspiciously, not knowing whether Tang Shuxing was seeking cooperation or threatening him, but raised his gun and motioned for him.

"I have to move all the bones here, find a way to bring them back to China, and then let China find a way to contact North and South Korea to identify the body." Tang Shuxing said and looked into the depths of the tunnel, "Perhaps, there are more in it." (To be continued......)
