Chapter 121

~16 min read 3,056 words

After He Yuzhu opened his eyes, his first reaction was to step on the ground. The layout within the Siheyuan appeared in He Yuzhu's mind in 3D mode.

Since Director Wang had already explained that it wasn't an earthquake but enemy agents making trouble, everyone in the Siheyuan didn't sleep in the courtyard like yesterday, but slept at home.

The people Yan Bugui arranged to take turns on duty were Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekua. The two moved a bed and were sleeping soundly on the bed.

He Yuzhu instantly understood. This Yan Bugui must be imitating the routine of writing spring couplets at the end of the year. The so-called taking turns on duty was indeed arranged, but just by giving the Yan family some benefits, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang took the shift for them.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below. Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekua weren't guarding with all their hearts either, but were sleeping at the entrance. Yan Bugui's arrangement actually didn't have any major mistakes. As long as they guarded the main gate and didn't let irrelevant people in, the outside was naturally the responsibility of the joint defense team, the Police Station, and the patrol team.

Yan Bugui would never have thought that the person they really needed to guard against was He Yuzhu.

"This is also good. If the Yan family were really guarding in turns with all their hearts, it wouldn't be convenient for me to go out." He Yuzhu thought to himself immediately.

He Yuzhu climbed over the wall and slipped out of the Siheyuan, arriving on the street. Even in the dead of night, He Yuzhu keenly felt the tense atmosphere.

"This is right. Only then is it interesting." He Yuzhu thought to himself.

He Yuzhu sneaked to the periphery of the Clock Tower silently. Sure enough, there were quite a few people ambushed in three layers inside and three layers outside near the Clock Tower.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu left quietly. Knowing there was an ambush and still moving forward—that's not "going to the Tiger Mountain," but being a big fool. He Yuzhu wasn't Shazhu.

Since the Clock Tower wouldn't work, go somewhere else. Although it was the 1960s, there were still high-rise buildings in Sijiucheng, but they weren't too high.

If it were like later generations, with high-rise buildings standing like a forest, it would have been convenient for He Yuzhu instead. By then, He Yuzhu could imitate Spider-Man and swing back and forth between high-rise buildings.

He Yuzhu came to the Anhua Building. The Anhua Building was the highest floor in Sijiucheng at present. In the blink of an eye, He Yuzhu appeared on the roof of the Anhua Building.

At this time, streetlights hadn't been popularized yet, and He Yuzhu was wearing a pitch-black Batman suit. Even if there were patrol members patrolling on the street, they couldn't see He Yuzhu's figure at all.

"Hahahaha..."

In the pitch-black night where you couldn't see your fingers, a wicked and extremely rampant strange laugh sounded. Accompanied by the strange laugh, a beam of light suddenly appeared on the roof, and in the beam of light, a bat figure appeared in the night sky.

He Yuzhu didn't leave, but looked at his watch. He Yuzhu wanted to see how fast their reaction time was.

As soon as He Yuzhu's laughter stopped, the lights inside the Anhua Building began to light up. Some bold people ran out to check, but they only saw the beam of light and didn't see He Yuzhu next to the beam of light.

The Anhua Building itself was a key area, and those who lived here weren't ordinary people. Naturally, there was a Security Section.

The reaction speed of the Security Section was five minutes. After they gathered, they brought a searchlight, connected it to electricity, and shone it toward the roof. Flashlights couldn't shine that far at all, so they could only use a searchlight.

However, they were on the ground and couldn't shine on the full view of the roof at all. At the same time, they gathered assault personnel and flew toward the roof.

From afar, He Yuzhu saw three patrol teams in the distance running quickly toward the building. However, they didn't have any means of transportation and could only run with their legs.

After He Yuzhu calculated, he found that the fastest patrol team would still take five minutes to reach the bottom of the building. Adding the previous five minutes, that is to say, if there was no prior ambush, as long as he made a move, it would take at least ten minutes for the patrol team to discover him.

Just discover him.

He Yuzhu saw it was about enough, so he put away the searchlight, generator, and other equipment, then took out a grappling gun and shot it toward the open space in the distance. The grappling hook of the grappling gun grabbed the ground in the distance tightly. He Yuzhu put on a slide set and, like a giant bat, slid toward the distance with a slide rope.

When the Security Section personnel of the Anhua Building rushed to the roof, they only vaguely saw a figure that looked like a bat.

After the Security Section personnel reacted, they immediately went to grab the slide rope, but before they reached it, the slide rope disappeared inexplicably, and the Security Section personnel were instantly confused.

They understood what tool He Yuzhu used when escaping, but understanding was understanding; they didn't grab the slide rope, which made them very puzzled.

After He Yuzhu landed on the ground, he only heard two "Peng Peng~" sounds, and two illumination flares rose into the air. During the short time the illumination flares lit up, the Security Section personnel on the roof saw He Yuzhu's figure.

Naturally, they couldn't see He Yuzhu's face clearly, only He Yuzhu's figure wearing the bat suit.

Subsequently, a shrill whistle sounded. In He Yuzhu's perception, three patrol teams were flying toward where He Yuzhu was.

He Yuzhu frowned. At this time, there were no mobile phones or walkie-talkies. How did they know his location?

Suddenly, He Yuzhu looked up and saw that on the roof of the Anhua Building, two lights lit up, and several searchlight beams shone toward He Yuzhu's location.

He Yuzhu instantly realized. In this pitch-black night, light was undoubtedly the best tool for pointing the way. Although it couldn't be particularly precise, it was enough to know the general range, and the rest could be carefully investigated.

He Yuzhu discovered that he had truly underestimated the wisdom of people in this period.

He Yuzhu waved at the roof, then flicked his cape and flashed into the pitch-black Hutong.

By the time the first patrol team rushed to where He Yuzhu had been, they naturally hit a blank. He Yuzhu had already flown into the air on an air tricycle called the Batwing.

He Yuzhu flew in the air as if patrolling his territory, patrolling the entire Sijiucheng. He Yuzhu considered himself a member of the working class and belonged to the leadership echelon of workers, so naturally, he regarded Sijiucheng as his own pocket.

After He Yuzhu strolled in the air on the Batwing for a while, he discovered a person running quickly on the ground in front, and a patrol team chasing quickly behind.

He Yuzhu didn't go down at the first opportunity, but observed silently, fearing that this was fishing.

When the person running in front took out the "All-Living-Equalizer" and turned back to shoot, He Yuzhu confirmed that this wasn't fishing. From the voices vaguely coming from them, He Yuzhu understood that this was catching enemy agents.

He Yuzhu realized that this should have been caused indirectly by himself. He had made a fuss yesterday, which naturally caused a big search, and then alarmed some enemy agents who had been hiding for a long time.

He Yuzhu then landed in the distance from the enemy agent and hid. Just as the enemy agent was running quickly toward him, he suddenly fell fiercely into a large pit.

"Damn, where did this big pit come from?" The enemy agent was instantly desperate.

The enemy agent had been hiding in Sijiucheng for a long time, and he knew the nearby streets like the back of his hand. He had never discovered a big pit here before.

Just as the desperate enemy agent was preparing to commit suicide, a stone flew over and directly smashed the enemy agent unconscious. At the same time, a bat mark made of mud appeared in the hole.

Needless to say, this was He Yuzhu's masterpiece. He Yuzhu didn't appear near at all, but operated from a long distance, using the same method as taking away the Black Market supplies.

After He Yuzhu left, the people from the patrol team chased over. Fortunately, the people from the patrol team were relatively cautious and didn't fall into the big pit. Falling into the big pit wouldn't kill you, but it would be troublesome if you accidentally smashed the enemy agent to death.

Just like this, the enemy agent was captured alive, and the bat mark He Yuzhu specifically left behind was also traced.

He Yuzhu continued to sway in the air on the Batwing and suddenly thought: "This kind of small fuss of mine can't change the existing situation at all. To change the existing situation, relying on myself alone won't work." "Finding like-minded people to form a Justice Alliance is even more impossible. At this time, although the storm hasn't arrived yet, the wind and rain have begun to gather, and then a period of mutual reporting, moral corruption, and distorted values is about to arrive."

"The people who betray you are often the people around you, so finding people is not advisable. Sigh, Batman is destined to be lonely." He Yuzhu thought to himself.

He Yuzhu thought for a long time and finally came up with an idea.

Deterrence!

Only by turning into a Dark Knight and deterring them severely can they not dare to do things that harm everyone.

He Yuzhu came to the place where the Foreign Affairs Unit was located, first made some noise in the distance to attract the Security Section of the Foreign Affairs Unit to go out and patrol, and then a big pit suddenly appeared where the Foreign Affairs Unit was located.

"Well, no casualties, no one fell into the pit, just the house fell into the pit." He Yuzhu sensed for a moment and thought to himself.

Since he turned into the Dark Knight Batman, he naturally had to abide by the oath of non-killing. It wasn't that He Yuzhu was pedantic, but with He Yuzhu's ability, killing someone was too simple, and it was done without anyone knowing.

After killing the first one, there would be a second one, and after the second one, there would be countless ones. If he didn't set a bottom line for himself, what if he fell into becoming a madman who only knew how to kill?

As soon as He Yuzhu thought of this, his heart seemed to be sublimated.

Subsequently, He Yuzhu thought that relying on collapses alone wasn't enough to deter them. With a thought, some bombs appeared in the big pit. Under He Yuzhu's conscious control, the big pit began to shrink its mouth.

Then, after a series of operations, with a loud "Boom~" sound, plus the earth shaking and mountains swaying, the bombs in the big pit exploded.

This kind of explosion was purely loud in sound, but not very lethal. Even the Security Section personnel at the gate closest to it were only shaken to the ground.

At the same time, a stone tablet appeared beside the big pit, with the words carved on the tablet: "Those who use the material strength of the Shenzhou to please the foreign country are the people who hate the Shenzhou to death. Those who provide food to the big old black, kill!"

Not long after, countless pieces of paper fell from the sky. The paper not only recorded this sentence but also described the detailed process. Even the place where the Supreme One was located appeared with a large amount of paper, and a deep pit and a stone tablet also appeared.

After He Yuzhu finished all this, he immediately slipped back to the Siheyuan.

The Siheyuan wasn't in a mess. The beasts in the Siheyuan were all hiding in their homes, trembling, fearing that this disaster would fall on their own heads.

If it were an earthquake or something, everyone would have run out long ago. However, Director Wang clearly explained that this wasn't an earthquake but enemy agents making trouble, and there was such a violent explosion sound. Even a fool knew that this matter was big.

At this time, not staying honestly at home would be a fool. If you ran around outside, the patrol team wouldn't care about that much and would directly catch you.

Even if some curious people wanted to go out, they were severely scolded by Yan Bugui and driven back home.

He Yuzhu returned to his home without any danger and lay on the bed to ponder.

"The situation in the future will be more difficult... It's not realistic to climb over the wall like before; it's easy to be discovered. It's time to build my own Batcave." He Yuzhu thought to himself.

However, even with a cheat, building a Batcave isn't something that can be done overnight. First, wait for his main house to finish renovation; second, have relevant knowledge and don't dig holes blindly; third, have corresponding materials.

These things have to be done slowly.

He Yuzhu didn't know how much of a stir his tossing today would cause. He Yuzhu only knew that he would inquire from many sides. If there were any more cases of people being hated to death below, don't blame He Yuzhu for being ruthless.

He had made an oath of non-killing, so he couldn't kill people, but it was still possible to make them cripples like Xu Damao.

Or, dig a cave in the deep mountains around Sijiucheng and build an Arkham Asylum. With the mobility of the Batwing, traveling back and forth between the city and the asylum could also be realized.

"It's decided so happily." He Yuzhu thought.

Early the next morning, people got up and began to discuss it. After Yan Bugui secretly scanned that everyone was there, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone was there, which meant that no one ran around last night.

Yan Bugui only had this much pattern. Based on He Yuzhu's understanding of Yan Bugui, even if He Yuzhu told Yan Bugui clearly that the movement last night was made by himself, Yan Bugui not only wouldn't let people catch He Yuzhu but would also suggest He Yuzhu go to the Fourth Hospital to take a look.

People all have two sides. Yan Bugui is relatively stingy in other aspects, but his behavior in this kind of thing is still worth praising.

"Everyone who should go to work, go to work. It's best to go together, and the same for getting off work. As for the children, gather them and go to school with me. Those who don't go to work, it's best to stay honestly at home, lest they cause trouble." Yan Bugui finally exhorted.

This shows the difference between Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai. If it were Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai would definitely speak in a commanding tone and wouldn't be like Yan Bugui, using a tone similar to polite remarks.

Everyone naturally knew Yan Bugui's mind and naturally agreed. Those with children thanked Yan Bugui, and then those who should go to work went to work, and those who should go to school went to school.

Those who didn't go to work stayed honestly in the courtyard.

He Yuzhu followed the crowd and came to the Rolling Mill leisurely. The Rolling Mill was stricter than yesterday.

He Yuzhu came to the kitchen and found Liu Lan, stuffed an egg to Liu Lan, let Liu Lan eat it, and asked: "How is it at home now? Is the food enough?"

"Enough, enough! Many thanks, Pillar." Liu Lan nodded repeatedly and said.

He Yuzhu didn't continue to give Liu Lan food. At this juncture, less trouble is better than more trouble. It's checked so strictly outside. What if Liu Lan is caught on the way home?

"How is it in your father-in-law and mother-in-law's hometown?" He Yuzhu asked calmly.

After asking, He Yuzhu regretted it. This shouldn't have been asked. Such a big thing happened last night. Even if they wanted to mobilize food, it couldn't be so fast.

"Sigh! Still the same, just living as much as possible. My father-in-law used the eggs you gave to exchange for some food in the Black Market, and then relieved some to the hometown." Liu Lan looked at He Yuzhu's face carefully and said.

"You can arrange the things I give you yourself. However, you must pay attention to safety. Only when there are people is there everything. If people are gone, everything is gone." He Yuzhu said.

"I know. In the future, don't give me cooked eggs. Can you give me raw ones? If they are raw, I can take them back and cook a large pot of egg soup, and everyone in my family can eat some." Liu Lan said.

"Good." After He Yuzhu finished speaking, his hand flipped, and he gave Liu Lan a raw egg.

Just one raw egg, He Yuzhu believed Liu Lan had a place to hide it. Although Liu Lan's two granaries were very high, there was still some spare space between them to hide a raw egg.

Although the thing last night caused a big stir, it didn't affect the Rolling Mill. After all, the Rolling Mill was directly under the Ministry, and no matter how big the thing was, it couldn't delay production.

Just as He Yuzhu was watching Ma Hua, Pangzi, and Liu Lan prepare to stir-fry in the big pot, a phone call from Li Huaide called He Yuzhu to the office.
