But when he woke up, he found that Zhou Shushu had already settled his sister in, and he immediately put the rest of the matter out of his mind and boarded the plane.
Gu Ran first went to check Zhang Ronghua's body. He didn't expect the people who were trying to silence him to arrive so quickly and unexpectedly. Moreover, it seemed that the people in the helicopter knew all along that Zhang Ronghua had betrayed him, and they opened fire to silence him without any intention of rescuing him.
The patriarch of the Zhang family in Nanyang was truly ruthless.
Fortunately, Gu Ran had already gotten the key questions beforehand, but some details were still unclear.
Gu Ran knew everything about the patriarch's hiding place, the Zhang family's purpose in Southeast Asia, and the technology behind the medicine.
I'll go back and organize it after I've prepared everything.
He threw Zhang Ronghua's body to the nearby burning crashed helicopter, letting the flames there burn his body to ashes.
Zhou Shushu jumped down from above and asked Gu Ran, "Is there anything else you need to take?"
Gu Ran walked over and pointed to the coffin-like iron box over there: "Is there room to put it?"
"It can be placed..." Zhou Shushu asked curiously, "But what are those things?"
“That’s my family’s precious treasure,” Gu Ran replied, then carried the large iron box in one hand and climbed the ladder onto the plane with the other.
Zhou Shushu was stunned to see how easily Gu Ran looked. He could clearly tell that the box was very heavy, but Gu Ran carried it with one hand and didn't seem to find it heavy at all.
What surprised him even more was that the helicopter did not tilt. Gu Ran was carrying such a heavy box, which would have caused the helicopter to tilt if it had been pressing down on one side.
But when Gu Ran climbed up, nothing happened, which was strange.
What he didn't know was that Gu Ran knew the art of light and heavy rocks, and had already reduced his own weight and the weight of the box.
After the three helicopters picked up the people, they took off again to prepare for their return flight.
Gu Ran looked down at the area that had been washed away by the flood.
Because the flash flood was caused by previously stored water, the flow came in quickly and went out quickly.
In less than ten minutes, the initial floodwaters had changed course and flowed out of the city. The three- or four-meter-high torrents were also blocked by the earthen walls and did not invade the town.
By this time, the water flow had slowed down.
Gu Ran released his ninjutsu, and the earthen wall that was originally used to block the water collapsed instantly, turning into piles of yellow mud on the spot.
Many of the people living beneath the town were buried underground, while some were lucky enough to escape.
If Gu Ran hadn't stopped the flash flood, everyone in this town's deep pit would have drowned.
But now, they still have a glimmer of hope if they can receive timely rescue.
At this moment, neither Gu Ran nor Zhou Shushu had any intention of going down to help with disaster relief.
Northern Myanmar is still too chaotic, and they dare not stay any longer. Although they can protect themselves, there are others on the plane who cannot.
Zhou Yancheng hugged his younger sister, feeling a pang of heartache. She had always been the apple of her family's eye and had never experienced any setbacks since childhood. Her parents doted on her, and Zhou Yancheng also spoiled her, never even uttering a single harsh word to her.
Having experienced such an event, even though it only lasted about three weeks, the psychological trauma it caused will probably never be erased for a lifetime.
Looking at the chubby-cheeked Zhou family girl, Gu Ran felt a pang of sympathy. After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "Don't worry, take your sister back to Nuwa. Nuwa can use deep hypnosis to make her forget these things. Then you can give her the memories of this period and make up a reasonable excuse."
In fact, Gu Ran could also use his Sharingan to hypnotize her deeply, but Nuwa is also a member of the Zhou family, so it's better to let them handle their own family matters.
Zhou Yancheng nodded. That was the only way. Forgetting these experiences was the only way to help his sister live a good life. After all, there was still a long way to go, and things couldn't go on like this forever.
But Zhou Yancheng was still somewhat unwilling. His face was sinister as he said to Zhou Shushu, "Shushu, please help me take my sister back to China first. I still have some things to do."
"It's no trouble at all. You've already called me uncle, so of course I'll do it for you," Zhou Shushu said casually. "But do you need any help? Although I've never killed anyone, I can still keep watch for you."
Zhou Yancheng exuded a strong murderous aura, which Gu Ran and Zhou Shushu both knew; he was going to seek revenge.
Chapter 336 Weapon Master Zhou Shushu
“No need, I can go by myself. I’ve investigated, and they’re all ordinary people, not mixed race.” Zhou Yancheng looked at Zhou Shushu gratefully, then asked, “Do you have a gun? Can I borrow one?”
Zhou Shushu handed Zhou Yancheng the Colt M200 pistol he was carrying, and also gave him a bag of ammunition: "Take this, don't take it back to China."
This statement has a hidden meaning; it implies that he shouldn't bring his hatred back to China and should settle it overseas.
“I know,” Zhou Yancheng checked the barrel and put the pistol away.
He thanked Gu Ran, saying, "Gu Ran, thank you for finding my sister. Without your help, I might not have been able to find her even if the bomb had exploded."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Zhou Yancheng said seriously, "No, this is a big deal for me. I always repay kindness with kindness and avenge wrongs with wrongs. If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word!"
"Okay, I won't hold back then." Gu Ran could tell that Zhou Yancheng was a serious person, so she went along with him.
The helicopter continued flying south. Looking down at the scenery, Gu Ran suddenly spotted a village that had been submerged by water.
Zhou Shushu said, "When I came here just now, I found that there was a flash flood upstream that washed away the whole village. I also noticed a group of people bathing by the stream. I don't know where they have been swept away now."
Gu Ran frowned slightly. He could tell that the flash flood had been forced to change its course before it rushed to this side.
"By the way, what happened upstream? What was that explosion?" Zhou Shushu asked.
So Zhou Yancheng explained the bomb incident, but he forgot about Gu Ran's use of earth magic to stop the flash flood and his one-on-one fight with the helicopter.
Gu Ran kept an eye on the ground until he saw several unharmed people heading towards the village that had just been affected by the disaster further downstream. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the terrain here is flat and the drop is not significant, so people who were swept away are unharmed.
Zhou Shushu had wanted to be friends with him for a long time, but after they fought together at the wedding building, they went their separate ways and didn't meet again at the celebration party.
So he started chatting with Gu Ran: "By the way, why are you here? Didn't Nuwa say you were in the Zhang family's ancestral land?"
"I'm going to find my mom."
"did you find it?"
"found it."
"That's good." Zhou Shushu also knew about Zhang Qiong's disappearance, and he was planning to help her if she hadn't been found.
He caught sight of the Dragon-Slaying Sword beside Gu Ran and immediately became interested: "This is the Dragon-Slaying Sword that can be compared with our Zhou family's 'Dragon-Slaying Platform.' Can I borrow it to take a look?"
“Okay.” Gu Ran handed over the sword.
As Zhou Shushu drew the Dragon Slayer Sword, a powerful killing intent immediately threatened to overwhelm him. The Dragon Slayer Sword was only giving face to Gu Ran; anyone else who drew it would have to pay a price.
Fortunately, Zhou Shushu had extremely high bloodline and quickly suppressed his impulse, then drew his sword and closed it.
"The sword carries a strong killing intent; every time it's used, it makes people lose their way," Gu Ran explained, hoping Zhou Shushu wouldn't draw the sword.
"As expected, powerful things always come at a price." Zhou Shushu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and drew his sword again to examine it.
After looking at it for fifteen seconds, I would close it again, repeating this action four or five times.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Gu Ran drew his sword and snatched it away. He could clearly feel the dragon blood boiling in Zhou Shushu's body.
"I don't have many hobbies, except for all kinds of weapons." Zhou Shushu gritted her teeth and said after calming down, "I've even pulled out the Dragon-Slaying Platform, but I was almost imprisoned by the living spirits inside. Fortunately, Nuwa intervened and rescued me."
There is also a living spirit in the Zhou family's Dragon-Slaying Platform. That living spirit will imprison people's souls inside and then ask them questions. If you cannot answer the questions, or if the answer to the questions does not satisfy the living spirit, you will be imprisoned indefinitely.
Zhou Yancheng said from the side, "Actually, I don't understand what's so interesting about that broken sword."
The Broken Dragon Platform is a broken sword; it was already broken when the Zhou family obtained it.
“You don’t understand. A broken sword signifies a warrior’s honor!” Zhou Shushu said. “When I drew my sword, I actually wanted to ask the spirit how it broke!”
Zhou Yancheng said, "It was because you drew the sword without permission that time that you were publicly criticized by Nuwa, so all the young people in the family were taught a lesson and were not allowed to draw the sword without permission to break the Dragon Platform."
"Let's not dwell on the past," Zhou Shushu said with a smile. "I was only fourteen back then; I was just a kid and didn't know any better!"
Gu Ran thought to himself, "You're over twenty now and you're still so immature. You know perfectly well that the killing intent of the Dragon Slayer Sword can drive people insane, yet you keep pulling it out."
"Oh, by the way, be careful with the gun I just gave you," Zhou Shushu said to Zhou Yancheng. "I deliberately ground down the rifling on that gun, so the bullets are horizontal and they hurt a lot when they hit someone."
"Horizontal strike?" Zhou Yancheng was taken aback, then nodded and smiled sinisterly, "Great, I was worried they would die too easily."
Bullets fired from ordinary firearms spin forward because the barrel has rifling that keeps the bullet spinning as it leaves the muzzle, allowing it to travel in a straight line.
A gun without rifling fires bullets like a smoothbore cannon, but unlike a smoothbore cannon, the bullets are not spherical, but rather long and pointed.
Therefore, in firearms without rifling, the bullet does not spin forward after leaving the muzzle. Instead, the bullet somersaults like Sun Wukong and finally hits the target horizontally, hence the name "horizontal bullet".
Such horizontal shots will have reduced accuracy and shorter range, but will increase lethality at close range.
Zhou Yancheng picked up the gun again, stroking its cold barrel, staring blankly at the scenery outside.
The helicopter continued flying south, its destination being Naypyidaw, the new capital in the south-central region.
Then I transferred to Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar, and flew to China.
In 05, Myanmar suddenly and urgently relocated its capital, without any warning, from Yangon, the best-developed coastal city, to Naypyidaw, a city in the forest.
The relocation of the capital took only one day, during which all government staff were moved away, and a press conference was held the next day to announce the relocation to the outside world.
As for why the capital was moved, and why it was done so hastily, nobody knows.
Some speculate that they were afraid of a sudden attack by the US military, while others guess that they consulted a feng shui master to find auspicious feng shui locations and then chose an auspicious day to move the capital...
In short, their relocation was very sudden, leading many people to believe for a long time that Yangon was the capital of Myanmar, since it was considered the most developed city in the country.
Naypyidaw doesn't even have an international airport. The international airport is still under construction, and it's still being built with loans and workers provided by China.
However, there is still an airport for small planes and a helipad here, so after they arrived in Naypyidaw, they transferred to a larger transport helicopter and headed to Yangon.
After arriving in Yangon, it was already evening. Zhou Shushu had arranged accommodations early in the morning, booking two floors of the Shangri-La Hotel and arranging for the security personnel and themselves to stay there.
Just then, Gu Ran entered his suite, lay down on the soft sofa, let out a long sigh, and felt a wave of fatigue wash over him.
He hasn't had a proper rest in days, constantly using ninjutsu to fly or the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport.
I'm really exhausted.
Fortunately, the trip was fruitful, and the goal was achieved.
At this moment, Gu Ran took out the Dragon Slayer Sword, wiped the blood off its blade, and then sheathed it again.
Then, he handed all the blood samples to the system.
