134: Great heroes, it's a pity we met too late.

An hour later, Lianjia Village was in sight. Lu Fan stopped walking and finally caught his breath.

He finally had the mood to check the rewards for completing the mission.

[Side Mission Completed. Reward: 10,000 Points, One Random Medicine Card]

[Mission Completion Rate 300%, Evaluation: SSS, Reward: 40,000 Points, One Random Gem, One Random Skill]

[Mission Completion Rate SSS, Rewards Doubled]

Six blind box cards were opened one by one.

[Strengthening Crystal] and [Energy Gem] had been seen before, nothing new.

The skill cards drawn were [Foreign Language Proficiency] and [Physiognomy and Character Reading], which didn't look impressive.

But, whether useful or not, skills never weigh one down.

Finally, the medicine card did not disappoint Lu Fan, as it yielded good items.

[One Bottle of Comprehensive Enhancement Potion: Comprehensively enhances all physical attributes]

[One Set of Intermediate Recovery Potions: Restores condition to peak state within 8 hours.]

Lu Fan tilted his head back and drank the Comprehensive Enhancement Potion.

The potion was colorless and tasteless, with a texture like clear water. After drinking it, there was no burning sensation, no intense pain.

He only felt a warm sensation in his body, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

But on the multifunctional glasses, his body's various data were rapidly fluctuating.

Muscle fibers became denser and more resilient;

Bone density quietly increased, with a more stable structure;

Nerve signal transmission speed doubled, the five senses became sharper, and reaction speed greatly improved;

Metabolism accelerated in an efficient and gentle manner, increasing bodily vitality while eliminating metabolic waste.

After a cup of tea, the warm flow gradually subsided, replaced by an indescribable surge of power and extreme lightness.

According to the data, his physical fitness had been forcibly enhanced by over three times.

And it was still increasing at a slow pace.

At midnight, Lu Fan waited for Little Northeast at the entrance of Lianjia Village.

This guy came strolling leisurely, chewing on a dog's tail grass.

Clearly, he hadn't been affected by the large-scale manhunt along the way.

It had to be said, this kid had some skills.

Without further ado, Lu Fan drove the DB5 sedan, carrying Little Northeast, heading south all the way, with their destination being inside the Shanhai Pass.

When they reached the Mengjiang area, gunshots from afar woke Little Northeast from his slumber.

Listening to the gunfire, he instinctively said, "Master, type 38 rifle, there are Japs."

"Hold on tight!" Lu Fan's eyes sharpened as he slammed the accelerator to the floor.

The DB5's engine emitted a low roar, like a waking beast, speeding wildly along the small road.

Soon, the gunfire became clearly audible.

In a clearing in the woods, about fifty Japs were relying on the terrain, firing fiercely into a dense forest.

In the forest, soldiers in tattered cotton-padded jackets resisted stubbornly using trees and rocks.

But their firepower was clearly at a disadvantage, suppressed to the point they couldn't lift their heads.

Lu Fan smirked devilishly. No matter who was fighting the Japs, as long as they were fighting the Japs, he would definitely lend a hand.

Besides, with such a great opportunity, it would be a waste not to test the DB5's firepower.

He opened the armrest box, pressed the weapon switch, and the hidden machine gun "swished" up.

As the fire button was pressed, tongues of flame shot out.

Rat-a-tat-tat~~~

A dense rain of bullets instantly mowed down several unprepared Japs.

This sudden surprise attack and fierce firepower suppression completely disrupted the Japs' formation.

"Comrades! Reinforcements are here! Charge!"

In the dense forest, the Anti-Japanese United Army's Commander seized this fleeting opportunity, roaring as he led the charge out.

The soldiers' morale soared, brandishing bayonets and broadswords, pouncing on the chaotic Japs like tigers descending a mountain.

Under the pincer attack from front and back, this Japanese Army squad was quickly annihilated.

The battle ended unusually quickly.

Lu Fan stopped the car, and the Anti-Japanese United Army soldiers gathered around.

Looking at this strangely shaped sedan and Lu Fan, their eyes were filled with curiosity and gratitude.

"Thank you for your righteous assistance, hero! I am Wang Detai, Company Commander of the First Army Guard Company of the Anti-Japanese United Army. May I ask your honorable name, benefactor?"

A tall, resolute-faced middle-aged man in a faded old military uniform stepped forward, clasping his fists.

"Lu Fan." Lu Fan clasped his fists in return. "Just a small effort. You're from the Anti-Japanese United Army, so is General Yang Jingyu nearby?"

Wang Detai's eyes lit up. "Mr. Lu knows our Commander Yang?"

"I've long heard of his great name and admired him." Lu Fan said. "Could you introduce me?"

"Of course! The Commander is in a secret camp not far from here!" Wang Detai said enthusiastically.

Lu Fan and Little Northeast followed Wang Detai to a hidden wooden cabin, where they met the long-admired Yang Jingyu.

This renowned leader of the Anti-Japanese United Army in the Northeast was thin yet stood tall like a pine tree, with eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

His weathered face bore marks of determination.

Facing him, Lu Fan immediately stood at attention and saluted with a standard military salute~

"Mr. Lu comes from inside the Shanhai Pass?" Yang Jingyu returned the salute, his voice deep and powerful.

Lu Fan said without concealment, "Yes! Just came from Harbin, preparing to return to Beijing!"

"Was the major incident in Harbin Mr. Lu's doing?"

Although Yang Jingyu was secluded in a remote area, he had clearly heard some rumors.

Lu Fan did not deny it, saying frankly, "Just killed a few Japs and took back some stolen things.

Compared to General Yang and the Anti-Japanese United Army brothers persisting in the resistance between the white mountains and black waters, it's nothing."

These words immediately brought the two closer.

One caused chaos in Harbin, stirring up the entire city.

One led a team stationed in the occupied area, persisting in the resistance despite hardships.

These two shared a common trait: unknown strength, verifiable achievements.

With the topic opened, the two delved into discussions about the current resistance situation, the Japs' movements, guerrilla tactics, and more.

Yang Jingyu's persistence in the resistance and his unique insights into strategy deeply impressed Lu Fan.

And Lu Fan's judgment of the overall situation, his sharp analysis of the Japs' weaknesses,

and the certainty about the future inadvertently revealed, made Yang Jingyu consider him a kindred spirit, regretting they hadn't met sooner.

Late at night, Yang Jingyu arranged for Lu Fan's group to rest in the secret camp.

Although conditions were simple, the soldiers vacated the best wooden cabin.

For dinner, they even brought out their specialty—flying dragon stewed with mushrooms and sweet potato liquor.

They did their utmost to entertain Lu Fan with the highest standards.

Early the next morning

Lu Fan and Little Northeast got up early and continued south.

Yang Jingyu personally saw them off at the entrance of the secret camp.

"General Yang, the resistance is arduous, take care!" Lu Fan clasped his fists solemnly, parting reluctantly.

"Mr. Lu, have a smooth journey! If fate allows, we'll drink and chat another day." Yang Jingyu returned the gesture, his eyes also filled with reluctance.

Shortly after seeing off Lu Fan's group, guard Wang Detai ran breathlessly to Yang Jingyu.

His face showed extreme shock and disbelief: "Commander! Commander! Please go check the wooden cabin where Mr. Lu rested last night!"

Yang Jingyu's heart tightened as he hurried over.

Pushing open the cabin door, the sight before him instantly petrified him and all the Anti-Japanese United Army high-ranking officials present.

Gasps of astonishment rose one after another!
