Zhu Yanyi walked slowly toward the opposing side, under the astonished gazes of the soldiers. The rebels on the other side also noticed her. They instinctively felt this woman was dangerous, so they fired their guns at her.
Zhu Yanyi moved slowly, but her footwork was strange. Although she walked in a straight line, the bullets missed her. This eerie situation terrified the rebels. Even the soldiers on her own side looked surprised. They felt the "Saint Hand Demon Doctor" was truly powerful.
Zhu Yanyi reached the man who had previously held the hostage. She kicked her. She tried to fire again but couldn’t. Zhu Yanyi stepped on her head. "Tell me, what happened to that child? Speak." Her voice held no anger, yet it was more terrifying than angry shouts.
"Luode Village has no villagers left. These people are from our base. They came to assist us." The man under her foot dared not lie. she confessed quickly.
Liu Kunxiong and his team now understood. They had waited in vain. The soldiers’ faces showed deep resentment. Many comrades had died saving these impostors. Others remained in comas. Thinking of this, they wanted to kill the captives. But rules forbade killing surrendering enemies. Their eyes filled with suppressed rage, making them feel nearly mad.
Zhu Yanyi looked at the captives. "Since none are innocent, you shall all die." She opened her hand. A fragrant breeze passed. All the men fell, bleeding from their seven orifices. Their bodies melted rapidly, turning into puddles of water that seeped into the ground.
"It is done. This is a dead village. Captain Liu, you will find no clues here. Return quickly." Zhu Yanyi spoke calmly, ignoring the scene.
Liu Kunxiong was still angry about being deceived. she did not know what to say. she could not criticize her actions, as she did not follow their rules.
"Divine Doctor, this will harm your reputation if it spreads," Liu Kunxiong frowned. "You are a military doctor, after all."
Zhu Yanyi chuckled. "I am only a doctor, not yet a military doctor. Report the truth. Superiors will not blame you."
Zhu Yanyi was unafraid. She felt that eliminating enemies was true salvation. Peacekeeping should not be rigid. Flexibility was sometimes needed. The saying "generals in the field may disregard orders" applied to modern times too.
She looked at the sky. Many warrior spirits lay buried here. She frowned slightly, thinking she should purify the resentment here someday.
But not now. As the "Saint Hand Demon Doctor," such acts would seem strange.
Liu Kunxiong was surprised by her attitude. Yet her calm demeanor reassured her. she nodded silently, saying no more.
