Chapter 6: Not a Single Traitor or Collaborator Left!

As the footsteps drew closer, two individuals holding guns soon appeared at the door. Li Guotao raised his gun and shouted loudly at the two, "Don't move! Who are you?"

"Father! Where is my father!" As Bai Wei gradually regained consciousness, she suddenly remembered something. Struggling out of Li Guotao's embrace, she stood up. Upon seeing her father's corpse again, Bai Wei could not help but burst into tears once more

After finishing all of this, Li Guotao suddenly remembered Bai Wei, whom he had thrown into the cellar. He hurried back to Bai Wei's home at the east end of the village, lifted the cellar door, and found that Bai Wei was still in a coma. Li Guotao carried Bai Wei out of the cellar and pinched her philtrum, which finally roused her from her unconscious state

Li Guotao cast a disdainful glance at the four traitors kneeling on the ground, two of whom were so frightened that they were trembling and soiling themselves, a foul stench wafting through the air, causing Li Guotao to furrow his brow. It was these four treacherous collaborators who had brought the Japanese soldiers to Xiaozhang Village to collect grain. The leader among them, a man named Lai San, had even incited Yamamoto by claiming that the villagers had insulted the Japanese soldiers, which led Yamamoto to order the massacre of the village in a fit of rage.

"Of course I know you are not little devils, otherwise you would have been dead by now!" Li Guotao snorted coldly and said, "Who exactly are you? If you don't clarify, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Guotao gathered all the weapons scattered on the ground, and then he decapitated those little devils, throwing their heads onto the little devils' truck. This time, the little devils brought a truck and two three-wheeled motorcycles, but now these have all become Li Guotao's spoils of war

"Damn it, you bunch of bastards, how could you assist the little devils in slaughtering your own compatriots? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?" Li Guotao couldn't help but curse angrily

Li Guotao looked at Bai Wei, who was crying uncontrollably on Bai Langzhong's body, feeling somewhat at a loss and unsure of how to comfort her. After graduating from high school, Li Guotao joined the army, where he had little contact with girls. Moreover, he was usually a taciturn person and had no idea how to console a woman. Furthermore, Bai Wei had just experienced the pain of losing her father and was in deep sorrow; even if Li Guotao were an eloquent speaker, it would be of no use at this moment.

"Hero, spare our lives, please spare us! We never expected the Imperial Army... they are not just small devils, we never anticipated that these small devils would be so despicable as to order a massacre of the village. These bastards are simply worse than beasts! We acknowledge our mistakes, we will never dare again, we implore the hero to show mercy and let us go this time!" The four treacherous dogs repeatedly bowed their heads and pleaded for mercy.

"Miss Bai, please remain calm. The footsteps do not seem to belong to the Japanese soldiers," Li Guotao quickly said as he pulled Bai Wei back, drawing a box cannon from his waist. This box cannon was one that Li Guotao had found on the four traitors. He also took two more and tucked them into his waist. Although the footsteps suggested that they were not Japanese soldiers, it was better to be cautious in a situation where friend and foe were indistinguishable. Li Guotao pulled Bai Wei behind him and kept a vigilant watch on the courtyard gate.

"Miss Bai, please stop crying," Li Guotao said, scratching his head with a look of helplessness. However, Bai Wei could not hear him and continued to weep over her father's corpse. Li Guotao could only shake his head and sigh, feeling utterly powerless.

"Are you saying that you killed all those little devils?" Bai Wei asked in shock

Li Guotao sat quietly beside Bai Wei. After a while, he could no longer bear to watch and softly said, "Miss Bai, Doctor Bai has already passed away. You should take care of yourself and accept this change. Those damned little devils have killed all the villagers, but I have avenged our fellow townspeople. Fifty-four little devils and four treacherous traitors have already been dealt with by me"

However, after killing four traitors, Li Guotao began to regret, not for having killed them, but for having done so too quickly. Li Guotao walked into the pit to take a look; there were approximately three hundred common people, ranging from elderly individuals in their seventies and eighties to infants in swaddling clothes, all of whom had perished without exception. Gazing at the mountain of corpses, Li Guotao could not help but feel a twinge of regret. He thought he should have kept those four treacherous traitors alive to help bury the bodies of their fellow villagers before executing them. Now, he was left alone, wondering how he could possibly bury so many corpses.

Li Guotao nodded heavily and said, "I just took a walk around the village and did not find a single survivor; the villagers must have all perished."

The two individuals instinctively raised the rifles in their hands, and after seeing Li Guotao's attire, one of them finally responded, "Brother, please do not misunderstand, we are not the little devils."

"You just fainted," Li Guotao replied softly

"Hmm! Just like that, we took them down; consider it a favor to them!" Li Guotao said through gritted teeth

"Miss White, do not cry, someone is coming!" Li Guotao suddenly stood up, frowning as he spoke. He had suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance; two people were running towards this direction.

"Spare you? How can I face the deceased villagers? I will go down and seek forgiveness from them myself!" Li Guotao's hatred for these traitorous collaborators is no less than that for the Japanese invaders; in fact, he despises these traitors even more. Li Guotao is truly too weary to waste words with this group of national traitors, so he raised the bayonet in his hand and directly severed the necks of four traitors.

What is happening to me?" Bai Wei gently asked as she reached up to support her dizzy head.

"Well done! They should all be exterminated!" Bai Wei said through gritted teeth, and after speaking, she collapsed onto her father's body and began to cry uncontrollably.

"What? The entire village's folks were all killed by the little devils?" Bai Wei raised her head gently upon hearing this, asking with a look of surprise.

At that time, as soon as Li Guotao made his move, the four traitors immediately realized something was wrong and quickly hid under the truck. These four individuals secretly witnessed Li Guotao kill so many Japanese soldiers with a single strike, which initially frightened them into wanting to flee. However, when they saw dozens of Japanese soldiers surrounding Li Guotao, they thought to themselves, can so many officers not handle just one person? Yet the outcome left these four traitors utterly astonished; the officers, who seemed almost invincible in their eyes, were being killed one by one by Li Guotao. At that moment, they once again considered escaping, but after witnessing the fate of the four fleeing Japanese soldiers, the already terrified traitors no longer dared to run away. The four of them conferred and decided to hide in a pile of firewood standing against the wall, initially believing they could evade disaster. However, Li Guotao had already noticed them; he was just too busy dealing with the Japanese soldiers at the time to pay them any mind. Now that the Japanese soldiers had been dealt with, it was time to take care of these traitors.

Do not... do not! Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life! The corn stalks fell to the ground with a crash, and four people crawled out from inside, kneeling in front of Li Guotao, repeatedly bowing their heads and pleading for mercy

"Are they little devils?" Bai Wei raised her head and said through gritted teeth, "I will fight them to the end!"

Li Guotao shook his head helplessly. If he were to bury so many corpses by himself, he did not know how long it would take. It would be better to go to a nearby village later and find some locals to help with the burial

At this point, no matter how sad you are, it is of no use. Rest assured, the blood debt that the little devils owe us, I will eventually collect it back from them. Today, killing this group of little devils is merely collecting a bit of interest; sooner or later, I will kill them all.

These beasts are simply worse than pigs and dogs!" Bai Wei said, tears streaming down her face

"Let's tidy up first!" Li Guotao said with a helpless shake of his head
