Two hours later, at Dafeng Mountain.

Li Tianyi stared at the devastated outer shelter, his eyes bloodshot, veins bulging, and his entire body radiating murderous intent. "Those who should be expelled, expel them; those who should be killed, kill them!"

"The battalion commander has given the order; a batch has already been killed, and they are still being interrogated!" Dai Xiaohu's face was grim.

"Where is he?" Li Tianyi was furious and wanted to kill him.

"Qingzhen Garrison!"

"Okay, go ahead and get busy!"

With a stern face, Li Tianyi strode quickly to the Qingzhen garrison, where a strong smell of blood wafted towards him.

"Spare me! Spare me!"

"We were also bewitched by Ling Zhuang, no, no!"

The enforcement team members, their faces grim, mechanically loaded the gun.

"Wait a minute!" Li Tianyi appeared in everyone's sight. "I'll interrogate him myself!"

"Yes, instructor!"

The soldiers of the new battalion stepped back and brought over a chair.

Li Tianyi didn't sit down. He walked straight to the group of people kneeling and shouted, "I gave you food, clothes, and houses, and this is how you repay kindness with enmity?"

The prisoners wept uncontrollably.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man's lips curled into an almost imperceptible, sinister smile.

If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't have noticed, but Li Tianyi had studied various psychological theories and could tell at a glance that this person had a problem.

He kicked him to the ground. "Name, position?"

"Ling Zhuang, no, no official position!" The man was terrified and kept kowtowing.

Li Tianyi sneered, a few silver needles appearing in his hand. "If I don't teach you a lesson, it seems you won't behave!"

Ling's pupils contracted noticeably, cold sweat poured down his back, and his face turned deathly pale.

Li Tianyi became even more certain: this person definitely knew the 'Seven Needles Interrogation Method' and might really be a Japanese soldier hiding among the refugees.

With astonishing speed, he inserted seven silver needles.

"Most people would die from the pain after the fourth injection. I wonder how many injections you can endure!" Li Tianyi's lips curled into a devilish smile.

As the first needle was pulled out, a heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the area, sending chills down the spines of the prisoners kneeling nearby.

"Position, Name!"

"Ling, Zhuang, refugee!"

Li Tianyi's eyes never left him. When he saw him speaking, his right hand subconsciously reached for his waistband, and he kicked his hand.

"Several men, strip him of his clothes!"

Ling Zhuang was clearly flustered. "Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, you, you're insulting me!"

The prisoners who were closer to him also started to jeer.

Li Tianyi memorized their names, rushed up and pressed the pressure points on their chests, silencing them instantly.

"No, no..."

Ling's clothes were stripped off, leaving only a pair of white cloth-bound underwear.

"Damn it, they really are Japanese devils!"

Soldiers from the New First Battalion rushed up and punched and kicked him; some even hit him with rifle butts.

"Stop it, all of you! Killing him like this is too easy on him!" Li Tianyi's face was grim. He quickly pushed through the crowd and pulled out the second needle.

ah……

The excruciating pain, like being devoured by a thousand ants, nearly made the Japanese soldier faint.

"If you don't want to suffer anymore, confess honestly!"

The Japanese soldier slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with fear. "My name is Kogoro Sakai, Cao Gou's liaison and superior."

Li Tianyi's sharp gaze swept over the group of people who had joined the rebellion. "A bunch of animals, idiots who were easily incited by the Japanese devils. What use are you?"

Feng Tianlei picked up the machine gun and mowed them all down.

When the gunfire stopped, one of the people whose pressure points had been acupunctured turned green, and dark green fluid oozed from his mouth and nose.

"With such little courage, you dare to join the rebellion?" Feng Tianlei kicked the terrified man over, his eyes filled with contempt.

Li Tianyi ignored him, walked over to Sakai Kogoro, picked up the third silver needle, and shouted, "Who is your superior? Where is he?"

"My access level is too low to know!"

His gaze did not waver.

Li Tianyi, however, did not believe him and pulled out a tiny silver needle. "Will you talk or not?"

"Tell me, I'll tell you!" Kogoro Sakai just wanted to die as soon as possible. "The contact person is called 'Firefly.' He's the one who usually contacts me. I really don't know where he is!"

I've told you everything I should and shouldn't have said. Please, just give me a quick end!

"Ask them if they agree?" Li Tianyi pointed to the crowd of refugees watching.

"No, no!"

The crowd was agitated and wished they could tear him apart alive.

An elderly man stepped forward from the crowd. "Instructor," he said, "this old man may not know the art of slow slicing, but I do. Is that alright?"

"feasible!"

Li Tianyi hated the Japanese devils to the core. This man even instigated a rebellion among the refugees, causing heavy losses to the Dafengshan shelter. Only death by a thousand cuts could quell his anger.

Upon hearing the words "death by a thousand cuts," Kogoro Sakai fainted from fright.

"Take him down there, whatever you do, don't let him die." Li Tianyi looked towards the ravaged West Gate position, "I'll use his flesh and blood to pay tribute to those martyrs who sacrificed their lives!"

"Yes, take them away!"

With a stern face, Li Tianyi approached the group of people who had been acupunctured and said, "If you don't want to die too painfully, tell us some useful information."

Their pressure points were released.

"His father-in-law also joined the rebellion!"

"Your wife is among them!"

"These three, and their entire families, are all bad people!"

...

After the fighting broke out, nearly fifty more people were arrested. These people were not directly involved; they were just helping to pass on messages and weapons.

Li Tianyi did not execute them, but instead expelled them from Dafeng Mountain to fend for themselves.

Those with conclusive evidence were all executed by firing squad.

After this incident, the shelter that originally housed 2,126 people now only has 641 people remaining.

An hour later, at the command post of the new battalion.

With red eyes, Li Tianyi choked out, "Uncle, I bear a heavy responsibility for this matter!"

"What's it to you?" Ma Youshan cursed angrily. "The whole thing was caused by the Japanese devils interfering, coupled with Cao Gou's hatred for you, which led to their collective rebellion."

"Why does he hate me?" Li Tianyi was a little confused.

"Township office building, Cao Piaoyi, Cao Gou's son!"

Li Tian suddenly realized what was going on, gritting his teeth, "So there was such a thing, sigh!"

The two stopped talking and started smoking.

Suddenly, Li Tianyi spoke up: "Uncle, separate the most barren area of ​​the outer shelter with high walls and reinforce it with heavy firepower!"

Furthermore, resource allocation should be reduced to a minimum, just enough to keep people from starving!

"You're even more ruthless than me!" Ma Youshan gave him an admiring look. "To add something: all the newly rescued people are thrown inside for a three-month observation period."

Those who perform well will be promoted to the intermediate zone, while those who perform poorly will be expelled without any leniency.

Those who perform well in the intermediate areas and possess a specialized skill may be recruited into the new battalion or core shelter in appropriate numbers!

"Old ginger is spicier, let's do as Uncle says!" Li Tianyi made the decision.

Suddenly, he stood up straight, facing the west gate, tears welling in his eyes. "This afternoon, gather everyone to pay tribute to the fallen heroes."

The order quickly spread throughout the entire Dafeng Mountain shelter...
