Chapter 272 Passerby A Who Died on the Battlefield During the War of Resistance Against Japan (Part 4)
"No, I need to keep some for myself. The small jar that was left was originally for me to drink, but I gave it to Mom. There won't be much more next year, so any extra will be mine."
After talking to her father, Jiang Yue went downstairs. She originally wanted to continue eating, but she was already full from drinking tea. When she came downstairs, her mother had already asked the housekeeper to clear the table. When Jiang Yue walked over, her mother was examining the tea canister. It felt so comfortable in her hand that she didn't want to put it down.
“Mom, stop examining that jar. I have two peace charms in my bag, made of the same material. I asked the Taoist priest for them. He's a very capable person. You and Dad should take them.”
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she took out some items from her small bag. In addition to two peace charms, there was a bracelet for Jiang's father and some small jewelry for Jiang's mother. In these chaotic times, wearing these would be safer.
After all, these were genuine magical artifacts. She handed them all over to her mother and left them to her to arrange. Jiang Yue wasn't worried that they wouldn't wear them, as these were all chosen by Jiang Yue based on her parents' preferences from the original owner's memories.
It was getting late, so Jiang Yue gave them the things and went upstairs to rest. She was exhausted from the long train ride. Seeing that Jiang Yue was tired, her mother put the things away, deciding to ask where they came from tomorrow.
The next day, Jiang Yue didn't get up until 10 a.m. Jiang's mother knew she was tired from the day before and didn't wake her. Jiang Yue stretched and opened the curtains, reaching out to block the sunlight. It was August and the weather was still quite hot.
After stretching her body, Jiang Yue took a shower. While she was showering, the housekeeper had already brought out the food. Jiang's mother was in the living room examining the things Jiang Yue had given her. After changing her clothes, Jiang Yue went to eat breakfast. Today, she had wontons and pan-fried dumplings, both of which Jiang Yue liked to eat.
After dinner, Jiang Yue sat down next to her mother. She noticed that her mother had already put on the "nothing's wrong" plaque, and was wearing the hairpin Jiang Yue had given her. The earrings were also a gift from Jiang Yue yesterday. Jiang Yue nodded, thinking that if her mother was wearing them, it meant that her father was also fine.
"Mom, where's Dad?"
"They went to the Chamber of Commerce. They said there's some kind of cocktail party today that they absolutely have to attend."
Jiang Yue frowned and asked with disgust, "Did the Japanese start this again?"
"Yes, it's the same old routine: warn everyone not to do business with the CCP and the government, not to provide them with supplies, and then collect a protection fee."
"snort!"
Jiang Yue maintained her previous persona, expressing deep resentment towards her mundane life: "If you ask me, Dad should send supplies to those anti-Japanese fighters. The more they don't want us to do something, the more we should do it."
"Alright! I've said this so many times, don't go around saying things like that outside. It's just that your dad isn't here!"
"I say the same thing even when my dad is around!"
"Don't say that outside. If the little ones hear it, it'll be terrible. They're a bunch of beasts in human skin."
"Okay, Mom. Oh, by the way, I'm going out for a walk. Grandma asked me to look for some old rouge for her. Do you know where I can buy it?"
"Old rouge? That's hard to find now. Nobody makes it anymore, not even in recent years. You should ask around at the shops outside. By the way, what does your grandma need it for?"
“I was doing research at my grandma’s house before. She remembered the rouge she used when she was young. It’s impossible to buy it back in her hometown. So I thought I’d look for it and maybe mail it back to her if I could find it.”
"Oh, I see. But Old Chen went to the party with your dad. There's a car at home that's empty, so you can drive there yourself, but be careful on the road."
"Okay, I'm off then. Don't wait for me for lunch, I'll eat out."
"Wait, didn't you run out of your allowance? Do you have any money left? Do you want Mom to give you some more?"
"No need, my dad gave me some yesterday, and I still have a few dollars left in my pocket, that's enough."
After saying goodbye to Jiang's mother, Jiang Yue drove off. The original owner of this body had originally planned to go to the battlefield, as she was skilled in driving, horseback riding, hand-to-hand combat, and shooting. Jiang's mother was reluctant to let the original owner learn these skills, but Jiang's father agreed. Given the chaotic situation, Jiang's father believed that learning these skills would allow her to protect herself should trouble arise, which was far better than simply learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
After leaving home, Jiang Yue drove to a less crowded place, retrieved the Wizard Tower, and added a task for Bai Ze: to fully activate the ecological park, cultivate various grains, and then activate all production lines to produce medicines, weapons, and other supplies. In short, the Wizard Tower began producing all kinds of resources.
Another thing is to release all kinds of puppets. Some of them will join the high-level puppets released earlier, while others will remain in Shanghai to support Jiang Yue's actions. The most important thing is to instruct Bai Ze to speed up the research on Xiao Rizi. Jiang Yue plans to do something drastic and directly develop a virus that will exterminate the race of Xiao Rizi.
However, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It is only targeting one race, and we must prevent the virus from spreading to the Chinese people and from being exploited or cracked. This will take a lot of effort. If Jiang Yue had known that this world was set during the War of Resistance against Japan, she would have already conducted research in the previous world and deployed it directly in this world. She was careless.
Jiang Yue wanted them to die quietly and legally. Of course, she could directly drop nuclear bombs, but how long would it take to kill everyone with a nuclear bomb? There are plenty of people all over the world. How long would it take to kill them slowly? And she also had to consider the problems after the extinction of these people. She couldn't let them suddenly become extinct.
Otherwise, if that place were occupied by the United States or other countries, the harm would be no less than that of our daily lives. Jiang Yue's idea is to take it slow. When our country becomes stronger, maybe we can compete for it. Wouldn't it be great to have a cherry blossom province?
She now has some ideas and plans to use the XG virus as a model. This virus spreads quickly and can infect people all over the world. People in other countries who are infected will only experience milder XG symptoms, and their lives will be cut short in agony.
This plan is a bit vicious, but Jiang Yue has been trained in the wizarding world, and she doesn't consider them human at all, so she doesn't feel any psychological pressure when implementing it. It just depends on when Bai Ze can figure it out.
Bai Ze followed the Wizard Tower, and Jiang Yue's safety was ensured by the protection of the high-level puppets. In this kind of world, as long as one is protected from being shot in the back, there are no other dangers. Once one important matter is finished, it's time to move on to another.
Jiang Yue planned to contact the contact person. Although Company Commander Zhou said that she could go there within a month, Jiang Yue couldn't wait that long. She still remembered how much medicine the field hospital lacked. Sending the medicine there a day earlier would save more lives.
However, Jiang Yue did not go directly to the meeting place. She first browsed around the old shops in Shanghai that used to sell rouge, but most of them no longer sold those. They sold new cosmetics such as face cream and perfume.
