The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 336: The revenge of the broken arm is waiting to be avenged, and the mysterious prosthetic l

The night was as dark as ink, thick and impenetrable. Lei Tao, Liu Zishan, and Chen Feiyang, ran furiously through the dim jungle. The deeper they went, the quieter it became. Only their heavy breathing and hurried footsteps could be heard, treading on the deadly ground, without a single echo.

Suddenly, Lei Tao stopped abruptly at a fork in the road, squatted down quickly, and used his hands to push away the layers of fallen leaves. He carefully looked at the ground, his brows furrowed more and more - the footprints and trampled leaves that were clearly visible before disappeared without a trace here, as if Kazuya Kamishima and the ninja had disappeared in an instant, leaving only this silent jungle and them full of doubts.

Liu Zishan and Chen Feiyang arrived shortly after. Seeing Lei Tao's grave expression, their hearts skipped a beat. "What should we do, Brother Lei?" Chen Feiyang asked anxiously. Lei Tao stood up, scanning the two forked roads, searching every corner for clues. But ultimately, he shook his head helplessly. "There's no trace left. Let's go back the way we came, rest, and then we'll make a long-term plan." Unwilling to give up, the three of them turned and ran back the way they had come.

Next to the makeshift camp, inside the makeshift tent, the dim light of a kerosene lantern flickered. Meng Xiaoyu was treating the wound on Yi Guang's back. Yi Guang lay on the bed, sweating profusely from the pain, the sheets beneath him already soaked with sweat. Meng Xiaoyu's hands trembled slightly as she wiped the wound gently, her eyes filled with worry, and she would whisper comforting words from time to time: "Bear with it, it will be fine soon, the wound will be fine soon."

Elsewhere, Xu Keming, aided by a special agent, returned to the camp. A military doctor from the Military Control Commission rushed to tend to his broken arm. Xu Keming gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his face, but remained silent, his eyes determined, as if the pain was nothing to him. The doctor expertly cleaned the wound, disinfected it, stopped the bleeding, and bandaged it. His movements were swift and professional, yet the excruciating pain still made Xu Keming tremble slightly.

Just then, Lei Tao, Liu Zishan, and Chen Feiyang trudged into the camp. Seeing them return, Meng Xiaoyu paused and approached them, eyes full of anticipation. "How's it going? Did you catch them?" Lei Tao, looking frustrated, shook his head. "The clues are gone, so we'll have to return. How are Yi Guang and Commander Xu doing?"

Meng Xiaoyu sighed and pointed in Yi Guang's direction. "Yi Guang is seriously injured. Two ribs are broken, and the wound is still inflamed." Then he looked at Xu Keming and said, "Commander Xu has a broken arm. The military doctor is treating him. I don't know how he is recovering."

After hearing this, Lei Tao's brows knitted into a "川" shape, his heart filled with self-blame. He walked to Yi Guang's bedside, looked at Yi Guang's frail appearance, and his eyes reddened slightly. "Yi Guang, it's my fault for not protecting you. When I catch Shang Shan He Ye, I will definitely avenge you!" Yi Guang forced a weak smile and said with a weak breath, "Brother Lei, don't blame yourself... Catch them, don't let them get away..."

At that moment, Xu Keming, supported by an agent, approached. His severed arm had been bandaged, but his face was as pale as paper. He swept a cold gaze over the crowd, his voice deep and undeniably fierce: "We can't let them get away like this. I paid the price of an arm, and it must not be in vain! I will not rest until I have my revenge!"

Lei Tao said, "Don't worry. The monk may run away, but the temple cannot. We have been fighting all night. Everyone should treat their wounds and have a good rest. We will settle the score with them after dawn." As he said that, he winked at Meng Xiaoyu and asked her to go into a tent with him.

The two walked into the tent and he sat on a stool. After Meng Xiaoyu helped him treat his wounds and remove the remaining bullets, he took out a box of special trauma anti-inflammatory injections and several bottles of skin tissue repair fluid from the mysterious Bagua gyroscope space (ostensibly from the backpack). "Xiaoyu, this is what I got from a special channel. It's very effective. You can use it for me, and the rest can be given to Yi Guang." Lei Tao whispered.

Meng Xiaoyu took the medicine, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Brother Lei, don't worry, I will take care of it." She skillfully treated Lei Tao's wound, injected anti-inflammatory injections, and applied repair fluid.

"Xiaoyu, quickly take the rest to Yi Guang. He's more seriously injured than me and needs it more," Lei Tao urged. Meng Xiaoyu replied, "Okay," quickly packed up the remaining potions, and walked quickly towards Yi Guang's tent. As she reached the tent entrance, she heard Yi Guang groaning in pain. She lifted the tent curtain and whispered, "Yi Guang, I'm here to bring you some medicine."

Yi Guang slowly opened his eyes and saw the medicine in Meng Xiaoyu's hand. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. Meng Xiaoyu sat by the bed and gently helped Yi Guang up. While preparing to inject the anti-inflammatory injection, she comforted him, "This medicine is very effective. You will get better faster after using it." Yi Guang nodded gently, gritting his teeth to endure the pain.

After the injection, Meng Xiaoyu carefully applied skin tissue repair fluid to Yi Guang. Afterwards, Yi Guang felt the pain eased a lot and fell into a deep sleep again.

Lei Tao, tossing and turning, couldn't sleep. He pondered, "If I use Xu Keming's broken arm as an opportunity to recommend a future prosthetic limb—a titanium alloy mechanical arm—to the Military Control Commission, he'd probably be thrilled!" He dug out the rough sketch of the prosthetic limb he'd stored away in his Bagua spinning top and stuffed it into his pocket. He then walked out of the tent and approached Xu Keming's, only to discover that he was equally awake. Lei Tao walked in and said, "Brother Xu, it seems we're both night owls tonight."

Xu Keming forced a bitter smile, raised his head, and looked at Lei Tao in the dim light, saying helplessly: "My arm hurts so much that I really can't sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, I think of those two bastards running away, and I feel so angry."

Lei Tao pulled a stool over and sat down, his expression becoming serious: "Brother Xu, I came here to talk to you about this. I have a way that might help you regain your fighting power, or even become stronger than before."

Xu Keming looked at Lei Tao doubtfully, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "Oh? What's the solution? It's already this late, so don't keep us in suspense."

Lei Tao said, "I have a way to get a titanium alloy mechanical arm prosthesis from a secret laboratory in a Western country. That prosthesis is very light to wear and flexible. It has advanced biosensor technology built in. Once you wear it, it's almost the same as a real arm, and even more flexible. You only need to go through a period of adaptation training, and not only will you be able to return to normal life, but you will also be able to unleash greater strength in combat. This will also give you a better chance of capturing those devils in the future."

Xu Keming's eyes gradually brightened as Lei Tao described it, and his breathing became more rapid. He stared at the design sketch, his hand unconsciously touching his broken arm. His voice trembled slightly as he said excitedly and firmly, "Okay, as long as it works, I'm willing to pay any price. Brother Lei, I'll leave this matter to you. If I could have another 'arm', I would definitely kill that bastard Kazuya Uesugi with my own hands!"

Hearing this, Lei Tao's mind flashed to Kazuya Uesugi. He recalled their last encounter, where he'd lost, yet this time, he'd fought him to a close, evenly matched battle. Clearly, he'd put in a lot of effort honing his martial arts skills. Thinking of this, Lei Tao gave a helpless, wry smile. His mind was so focused that he accidentally touched the wound on his arm, causing him to grimace in pain.

Xu Keming looked at Lei Tao's wry smile and the pain on his face, thinking he was thinking of some ruthless trick to use against Shan Heye, so he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lei, have you thought of any way to deal with that guy?"

Lei Tao hurriedly explained: "It's not that I can think of any solution. I was shot in the arm before. I didn't pay attention just now and touched the wound. It hurts a lot!" Xu Keming heard this, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes, "Your injury... Has the military doctor seen it? Don't let it leave a root of illness." As he said, he stretched out his hand to check Lei Tao's wound, and pulled the broken arm in the movement. The pain made his face pale.

Seeing this, Lei Tao waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. "Brother Xu, I've asked Meng Xiaoyu to take care of it, and also used the special medicine I got. It should be healed soon. As for you, you have to take good care of yourself. Once the prosthetic limb is ready, you will need to cooperate with the adaptation training. But you have to prepare two large yellow croakers. These are not for me, but for my friend to use to build connections. Otherwise, the things will not come out."

Xu Keming nodded without hesitation after hearing this. "No problem, it's just two large yellow croakers. As long as I can get this 'arm' in return, it's no big deal. But time is of the essence. Can you trust your friend? Uesugi Kazuya and that ninja will definitely not give up. I need to recover my strength as soon as possible to continue hunting them down."

Lei Tao patted his chest and said confidently, "Brother Xu, don't worry. Although my friend may seem unreliable at ordinary times, he will never let you down when it comes to the key. He has some connections in both the black and white worlds. This time, in order to get this titanium alloy mechanical arm prosthesis, he has already contacted several key figures. As soon as we get the money together, they will be able to start the operation immediately. He also said that the people he found this time are all trustworthy, and every link has been carefully arranged, so there will be no problems."

Xu Keming nodded slightly, his eyes scrutinizing. "I hope so. This matter cannot afford any mistakes. If anything goes wrong, not only will my recovery be hopeless, but we might also be exposed to the enemy. By the way, who are the people he's contacting? Are there any hidden dangers?"

Lei Tao quickly explained, "Brother Xu, the people he's looking for are veterans who have been involved in the black market and scientific research circles for many years. There's someone in the black market who's specifically responsible for opening up transportation channels and can get the prosthetic limbs here without anyone noticing; there's an engineer in the scientific research circle who's been involved in similar projects before and has agreed to help debug the prosthetic limbs to ensure they fit the user perfectly. These people have all been paid a lot of money and signed confidentiality agreements, so there won't be any problems."

Xu Keming's brows relaxed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "That's good. We can't waste these two big yellow croakers. Tell your friends to hurry up. Every day I wait increases the chances of Shangshan Kazuya and the others escaping."
