It seemed that the other party was like a couple, unarmed and completely unthreatening, and Ono Tsukashi breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, he first lowered the muzzle of the gun, slowly walked to the house, and said as politely and kindly as possible:

"Don't be afraid, I just want to find a match or something that can make a fire, do you have any here?"

It's just that his current appearance is really not flattering, his upper body is shirtless, and a military hat is worn crookedly on his head.

The coat was tied behind his back as a baggage bag, and his face was full of scruffy beard, skinny and skinny, with deep-set eyes and cheeks like tuberculosis, and his image was terrifying like a demon.

The men and women who met by accident were even more frightened when they saw him like this, and they knew very well that the Japanese burned, killed, looted, and did not have the slightest mercy at all.

The man was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and babbled in the local dialect, trying to beg the other party to let him go.

“どうしたんですか？ Do not be afraid, I will not hurt you..."

However, due to the language barrier, let Ono Tsukasa Ren compare for a long time, and the two didn't understand what he meant at all.

Ono struggled to squeeze out a smile, he wanted to tell the two that he wasn't going to kill anyone, and that he just wanted to find a match or something that could light a fire.

Who would have thought that his smile was more ugly than crying, and instantly made the woman's scalp tingle, reminding her of the appearance of the Japanese who did all kinds of evil when they once plundered their own people.

Then... The other party also showed this beastly smile, killed all their men and children, and then dragged the women to the house to carry out with a fierce smile, and then burned down their house with a fire, allowing the women inside to scream in despair in the fire...

"Ahh

The devil's cruelty immediately touched the woman's most sensitive nerves, and she screamed uncontrollably.

This snort stunned the two men present, especially Hitoshi Onozuka, who was already a little nervous, and subconsciously raised the rifle again.

"Armero! Hey! You don't bark! ”

Perhaps because they were in a desperate situation, everyone's hearts were very sensitive, and the flustered Ono Tsukashi's expression gradually distorted, and then pulled the trigger.

Touch!

A gunshot rang out, the woman's screams stopped abruptly, and the body slowly collapsed in a pool of blood.

The blood splattered the man's face, and he was already frightened, and he got up and rushed out of the door like crazy, and stumbled over Ono Hitoshi who was guarding the door.

Perhaps because of fear, even if his wife was killed, the man did not have the slightest intention of resisting, and only thought about escaping.

However, Ono Tsukasa Ren was so frightened by his behavior that his heart rose to his throat, and he didn't have time to pull the bolt and change the bullet, for fear that the other party would play with him in this narrow space.

In his current state, it is really not certain who will die or live.

The man only thought about running away, and there was no other action, Onozuka gladly glanced at the back of the escape, and did not chase and kill.

He also muttered in his heart, why did these two people suddenly appear here? Is it just to come back and use this as a shelter, so what do they live on?

When the woman's body was removed, Ono was shocked to find a sack the size of a head under the tattered wooden plank.

When he took it up, it was full of gray-white powder, and he twisted it and put it in his mouth to taste it...

It's salt!

Onozuka was excited by this unexpected discovery, and it turned out that the couple had returned to the place to retrieve the hidden salt bags, which happened to be met by him.

The importance of salt is self-evident, and if you want to be strong, you must ensure that you consume enough salt every day.

It's really the way to the end, and now that I have food and salt, my hope of living will be greatly increased.

Ono Tsukasa quickly wrapped the salt bag and tied it to his body, looking left and right for fear of being spied on, and his panic was undoubtedly revealed.

He returned to the Japanese soldier who had committed suicide, stripped off his coat and put it on, and it was better not to be naked in the rainforest, otherwise he would have to feed a lot of mosquitoes in a short time.

……

Hard days as usual... Before he knew it, a few more days passed, and Hitoshi Ono was wandering around the forest alone, looking for a chance to live, but his condition was also getting worse every day.

Although the wound on the thigh has been treated simply, there is no medical treatment, and the daily stay in this jungle where germs breed still cannot escape the torture caused by inflammation.

Hitoshi Ono began to have a fever, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and sometimes he would pull his stomach all night, and the pain of his leg injury was even more unbearable.

He walked weakly on the road with a rifle on his back, his face was sallow, and his eyes were covered with purple and black, like a terminally ill body that would collapse at any moment.

…

"本当だそうです? Is this true? ”

"もちろんです, don't you believe me, the squadron leader has already taken Yoshino and them over, and if we don't leave, we won't have a chance."

"Huh? Look, there's another guy over there."

On a small hillside, three little devils seemed to be communicating something, and suddenly one of them saw a soldier walking towards them in the distance, and hurriedly beckoned his companion to look.

Hitoshi Ono also spotted them and looked up at each other lifelessly.

"Hey! Which unit are you from? What is your name? The leader of the army shouted loudly and walked towards Hitoshi Ono Tsuka, who was going downhill.

The other two Japanese soldiers also surrounded him, and the three of them looked Onozuka up and down, so that the latter's heart rose to his throat, and he subconsciously touched the grenade on his waist.

"Don't be nervous, we won't rob you."

Seeming to see the vigilance of the other party, Jun Cao put his two hands on the barrel of the gun like a flat shoulder, and said casually: "We are from the 13th squadron, and the squadron leader is Genjiro Okubo, which unit are you from?" ”

Seeing that they didn't seem to have malicious intent, Ono Tsuka Ren swallowed his saliva, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Hey, sir, I'm Ono Tsuka Ren of the third logistics team..."

"Third Logistics Squad? I remember you weren't on the islands to the west, how did you get here? One of the soldiers asked curiously.

Ono Tsuka's eyes were a little evasive, and he said, "Hey... I am... We were bombed by the enemy, and my team and I got lost, and we were... I just got here. ”

He didn't know the current situation, and he was afraid that he would be punished, so he didn't dare to say anything about leaving his post and leaving the team without permission.

The soldier who talked a lot wanted to ask, but was stopped by a look from Jun Cao.

Looking at the extremely nervous Ono Tsuka, Jun Cao kept a smile on his face and said as kindly as possible: "Okay, Ah Ren, since you and your troops are lost, let's join our team first." ”

As he spoke, he patted him on the shoulder and continued to comfort: "Cheer up, cheer up, haven't you heard?" Soon a naval fleet will come to pick us up and take us home. ”

"What!? This... Is this true? Onozuka's face was full of disbelief.

"Of course, now the commander is assembling the troops, and many people are going over there, and the commander says that the fleet is not far from here, and we need to gather at the beach, and we will be able to go home soon."

Hearing this, Ono Tsuka's eyes were slightly red, and after being tormented by the problem of survival on the island for so long, he finally saw the dawn of hope.

Once people stay in a desperate situation for too long, their thinking ability will often decline, and even if they don't know the true intentions of the other party, they don't know whether what they are saying is true, and they are willing to choose to believe in hope.

At this moment, Ono Tsuka Ren is like this, and the life-saving straw that he finally grasped naturally wants to grasp well.

"Then, please ask the seniors for more advice, please!"

"Hehe, no problem, just follow us." Jun Cao replied affirmatively, but a triumphant smile flashed in his eyes.

Ono Tsukahito nodded seriously, and then in order to show his sincerity, he also took out the only few pieces of sweet potatoes and salt on his body and shared them with the three people who had only met for less than five minutes.

"Yo Xi, it turns out that the richest among us is you, Onozuka-kun."

Jun Cao was very surprised, and several people immediately twisted the salt in their mouths and tasted it, all of them showed surprised expressions, they didn't expect that there were such good goods on this crumbling-looking rout.

The men looked excited, seeing sweet potatoes and salt as if they had discovered a new continent.

That Jun Cao's hands trembled even more, and he twisted the salt powder several times and put it in his mouth to taste it, enjoying this long-lost taste very much.

Ono Tsukashi beat a drum inexplicably in his heart, and asked with some concern, "That... Sir, we can really get on the warship and escape... Do I mean retreat? ”

"You don't believe me?" Jun Cao suddenly looked up and looked at him meaningfully.

"No... Nope..."

Ono Tsuka Ren responded with an embarrassed smile, now he only thinks about successfully getting on the warship and escaping from this purgatory-like island, and there is not so much else to do.

Ono then followed them together, and on the way he learned from another soldier that there were six of them left, and that the other three were looking for food not far ahead, ready to meet the squadron leader later.

In order to reassure Onozuka, Juncao still asked the latter to keep the food, so as to dispel the other party's doubts.

Now with the addition of Ono Tsukasa Ren and a total of seven people, the big guys have begun to embark on the road home, and Jun Cao also continues to cheer for a few people, which makes them feel hopeful.

Who knows... Danger awaits them ...
