Chapter 877 That's why it's called a fine tradition! Because you never know when this trad
Sato glared at the sailor who had just managed to close the hatch in time. This kid was usually so clumsy, but why was he so quick-witted this time?
The sailor who had tried to take credit for him trembled at his glare...
Why should I get glared at after saving someone?
Recalling the spiritual infusion from Major Sato's big stick, the idiot suddenly snapped back and withdrew his hand that had reached out to help Junichiro.
Yes, it was as if the arrogant head of the Junichiro family had been stripped of all his strength and dignity by the axe blade that had been pressed against his nose.
He collapsed to the ground in fright, leaning against the cold bulkhead, panting heavily, his eyes filled with lingering fear.
"This...is this what death feels like? How terrifying! No, I can't die. I am the head of the family, and I bear the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family..."
"How is this possible... How could they have found this place?!" Major Sato exclaimed in shock and disbelief as he looked at Junichiro's miserable state and the hatch that had been hastily closed.
He even took half a step back, as if he was truly shocked by this unexpected turn of events.
However, Junichiro, having regained his composure slightly, glanced coldly at Sato's somewhat exaggerated performance and sneered inwardly:
Yes, that was a great performance! The actor's facial expressions were perfectly controlled.
but……
Kid, when it comes to acting skills, you're still a bit lacking!
Junichiro abruptly raised his head, his venomous gaze fixed on Sato, and he forced out a mocking sneer through clenched teeth:
"Hmph! Sato-kun, even now, are you still going to put on such a clumsy act in front of me?"
His suspicions were undisguised. The fact that such a secret exit was precisely blocked suggested that the captain, who was familiar with the internal structure of the submarine, might have secretly defected!
Sato felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze and wanted to explain, but he was speechless for a moment.
After all, he was genuinely regretting that the giant axe on the other side hadn't chopped this troublesome fellow down!
The person on the other side gave you a chance, but you couldn't seize it!
If you solve this big problem, then we can happily go to your POW camp to play badminton! We won't need you running around smoking us!
Hmm? Smoke?
Just then, wisps of thick smoke, smelling of burning rubber and grease, began to seep in through the gaps in the ventilation ducts! The smoke quickly filled the air, causing people to cough incessantly.
"Baka! It's smoke! They're using smoke!" A sergeant yelled, covering his mouth and nose, staggering towards the ventilation duct. "Quickly, start the exhaust system! Blow the smoke out!"
"Start the exhaust system now!"
"System malfunction! Unable to restart!"
A series of shouts began to echo in the cabin again.
The smoke grew thicker, blurring the red light of the emergency lights. Junichiro, choked by the smoke, cried out, "Sato! Struggling is useless! Now we might as well work together..."
Again!
Again!
Are we going to die a glorious death again? We're not just ordinary army soldiers; we're all highly skilled!
Sato looked at Junichiro, who was curled up on the ground but still staring at him with suspicious eyes, and a thought grew wildly: I can't let this idiot say anything more about dying for the emperor!
His face instantly changed to a resolute expression of "loyalty and courage in protecting his master," and he rushed to Junichiro, his tone urgent but unusually "sincere":
"Sir! Please pull yourself together! The situation is critical, we can't stay here any longer! The smoke is getting thicker and thicker, we'll suffocate!" He said, bending down as if to help Junichiro up.
"This submarine also has an extremely secret safe room, a final refuge reserved in the design, the location of which only I know! Please come with me immediately! We must ensure your safety; you are a treasure of the empire!"
Upon hearing that there was still a way to survive, a faint glimmer of hope rekindled in Junichiro's despondent eyes. Although he had some doubts, driven by his survival instinct, he subconsciously tried to stand up with the help of Sato.
"You better not be lying to me, Sato-kun."
“Absolutely true, Master, please follow me.”
Sato led the way, with Junichiro and two attendants following closely behind. The group struggled through the billowing smoke and the crooked equipment, heading towards a relatively secluded passage at the rear of the engine room.
Just as Junichiro thought he had escaped a dead end and stepped into the dimly lit passage, Sato, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped and turned around abruptly!
The feigned respect and gentleness on his face vanished instantly:
"Do it!"
Having already received his signal, several trusted sailors who had been lying in ambush in the shadows on both sides of the passage pounced out like cheetahs! Two at a time, they used skillful fighting moves to swiftly twist the arms of Junichiro and his two attendants, and tied them tightly with the prepared ropes!
"Baka! Sato! What do you think you're doing?! How dare you..." Junichiro was shocked and furious. He struggled desperately, but before he could finish speaking, a greasy rag was stuffed into his mouth.
Then, the rag was pulled back, and the head of the family was immediately like a donkey with a bit on it, unable to utter a single word.
Major Sato took a step back, coldly looking at Junichiro who had been pinned to the ground. His face was devoid of any respect, displaying only a naked will to survive and a cold indifference as if he had "unloaded a heavy burden."
"Your Excellency, if I may be so blunt, the future of the Empire is important, but the lives of these hundred or so subordinates in this cabin are equally important! To die for the sake of a secret mission without official authorization that drags everyone into a desperate situation? It's not worth it!"
He glanced at the smoke-filled cabin and the complex but undisputed looks in the eyes of the surrounding soldiers, and continued, "Now, the only way for everyone to survive is to 'ask' you and your entourage to stay quiet. Then, we will open the hatch and surrender to the Chinese army."
After saying that, the group ignored Junichiro's struggle to speak, took out their gas masks, put them on, and rushed toward the nearest watertight door.
Junichiro was suffering inside...
What he was about to say was surrender...
Having survived a life-or-death ordeal, he suddenly realized that being alive is truly wonderful!
……
Just as Zhao Gang's operation to smoke blackfish was making great progress...
Zhou Jianjun, who was stationed on submarine 418, angrily threw the electron tube in his hand out:
"Didn't they say Russian stuff is amazing? This thing breaks down in clumps!"
