Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 138 Safety Zone

The battle had only been engaged for a single minute.

Lian Qingchen was still helping Qin Yiyi and Qin Cheng pack up their things, while Li Yinuo and Nan Gengchen were already sitting in the bed of the pickup truck.

The robust girl, seeing Qin Cheng and the others packing up the tent, even urged from the pickup, ”Stop packing, whatʼs more important, your belongings or your life? Hurry up and drive!”

As if the pickup was hers.

But Li Yinuo did have a point; the sound of gunfire was drawing closer, the sound of the wilderness people trying to shoot down drones.

Qin Cheng shouted, ”Stop packing, everyone get in the car, staying alive is all that matters!”

At this moment, everyone was in a panic, except for Uncle Li Dong, who behaved as if nothing was amiss.

A few people jumped into the bed of the truck.

The servants, who were supposed to ride in the bed of the pickup, came running over.

Li Yinuo yelled at them, ”Scram, find your own fleet.”

Qin Yiyi tapped the vehicleʼs window, ”Brother, letʼs hurry up and go!”

Fire had broken out in the northern woods.

The occasional sound of gunfire served as a warning to everyone that danger was approaching.

In the truck bed, the voice of a walkie-talkie came through, ”Miss Yinuo, the wilderness people have brought guns specifically designed to counter Boundary-011!”

The principle of the countermeasure gun is to emit electromagnetic interference waves in a specific hertz range to disrupt the connection between remote control devices and drones.

This device, like sniper rifles, is prohibited within the Federation, and itʼs unknown where the wilderness people got them from.

The countermeasure gun is banned because the Federation Army has the most drones, and they do not want the civilian populace to have the power to resist.

Sniper rifles are banned because in earlier years, someone had developed an AI smart targeting railgun, which was so capable in computing comprehensive elements that it led to a time when high-profile figures were frequently assassinated from afar.

Li Yinuo pulled a walkie-talkie from her pocket and said, ”Xiao Gong, activate the self-destruct mode on those drones to hold them off for a bit. Also, where is the Jindai family fleet?”

The Autumn Hunting Teamʼs first mate, Xiao Gong, replied through the walkie-talkie, ”Received, the Jindai family fleet is 60 kilometers to our south, they seem to be encamped.”

Unexpectedly, Li Yinuo had always had a way to monitor the position of the Jindai family fleet, so when Jindai suddenly overtook them earlier, she wasnʼt worried at all.

”Letʼs find the Jindai family, weʼre all Federal people, we can stand together against the wilderness people!” Yinuo said.

Then, the remaining four Boundary drones still charging at the campsite took off into the sky, flying straight towards the woods in the north.

After a while, as the vehicle progressed, everyone heard a series of booms behind them, and the night sky lit up with huge flames.

This was the self-destruct program of the drones: sacrificing a drone to inflict significant damage on the enemy.

However, Li Yinuo knew that the wilderness people who came this time were too numerous, and the self-destruction of the drones was merely slowing down their pursuit and encirclement, not really inflicting a serious blow on them.

The explosion of each drone was like burning money, but Li Yinuo didnʼt care at all.

...

After confirming the successful activation of the dronesʼ self-destruct program, Li Yinuo momentarily relaxed.

The next moment, Qin Yiyi, Li Yinuo, Nan Gengchen, Qing Chen, and Uncle Li Dong, the five of them sat in the truck bed, staring at each other.

The muscular young girl suddenly turned to Qing Chen and asked, ”Hey, you look pretty ordinary, too, with skinny arms and legs. Although youʼre good-looking, you donʼt seem like you could take much of a beating.”

The atmosphere stagnated with everyone confused as to why Li Yinuo would suddenly criticize Qing Chen out of the blue.

No reason at all!

Curiously scrutinizing her, Qin Yi was pondering how to address the girl, ”This… warrior.”

Li Yinuo raised her eyebrows.

So quickly, someone came to take revenge for that young man?

Seeing Li Yinuo glaring, Qin Yiyi hurriedly corrected, ”Oh brave beauty, why have you taken a seat in our vehicle?”

Li Yinuo calmly answered, ”For safety.”

”Safety?”

As soon as these words came out, both Qin Yiyi and Nan Gengchen were shocked as they looked at her. They knew she was the eldest daughter of the Liʼs Third Generation, with the entire Autumn Hunting Fleet at her command.

Within the Autumn Hunting Team, there were drone squads, not just the batch that had self-destructed a moment ago. Nan Gengchen also knew that three off-road vehicles had a new set of Boundary-012 model combat drones in their trunks.

However, when real danger arrived, she said it was safer to stay in this old pickup truck?

One must understand that Li Yinuo was one of the top experts among the younger generation of the Li Family. This fearless individual was now coming to a pickup for protection?

The pickup was madly bumping along the dirt road.

Everyone was silent, unsure of how to process what Li Yinuo had just said.

Then they saw Li Yinuo turn to Uncle Li Dong, ”My mom said you used to hold me when I was little, you wouldnʼt stand by and watch me die, right?”

Uncle Li Dong smiled and said to Li Yinuo, ”When I held you, you were still too young to remember, so why suddenly bring that up now?”

It turned out that Li Yinuo had jumped into the pickup at the moment of crisis because Uncle Li Dong was here!

Qin Yiyi and Nan Gengchen suddenly turned their heads to look at this middle-aged man, while Qing Chen sighed in his heart, knowing he had been recognized after all.

Explore new worlds at empire

However, Qing Chen suspected even more. He always felt that Uncle Li Dong hadnʼt tried to hide his identity on purpose, at most he just casually smeared some dirt on his face. This might fool strangers, as it made it hard for people to remember his face.

But for those who had seen him before, they would definitely recognize him.

Moreover, from the sounds of it, Li Yinuo was quite familiar with Uncle Li Dong!

The valiant beauty had just spoken sarcastically about Qing Chen, likely related to Uncle Li Dong too.

Now looking back, it was clear there was a feeling of envy and jealousy when she mentioned Qing Chen...

In the midst of their conversation, a buzzing sound came from the black night sky, the sound of a swarm of drones!

But the opposing drones didnʼt even have their signal lights on, and in the darkness, ordinary people couldnʼt see where they were at all.

Li Yinuo instantly realized, the wild people from the north must have launched a large-scale attack, surrounding them and forcing them to head south ahead of schedule, into the area that was already ambushed with a swarm of drones!

They had walked into the ambush themselves, without the need for the enemy to set it up!

Li Yinuo frowned, ”It must be people from Fire Pit who were already nearby, called over by the band of wild people that were driven off. Otherwise, they wouldnʼt have so many drone clusters, nor such a calculated plan.”

Now, they were the ones without drones, and the enemy had them.

Over the radio, the first mate Xiao Gong said, ”Miss Yino, drone clusters are approaching. We still have a complete set of Boundary drones in the fleet, but itʼll take time to reconnect the neurons.”

But Li Yinuo replied, ”No need.”

Then she looked at Uncle Li Dong, ”Please take action, letʼs not waste time.”

Uncle Li Dong smiled and said nothing.

Then the normally aggressive eldest daughter of the Li Family suddenly started acting coy, ”You wouldnʼt just watch something happen to me, right? You were so fond of me when I was a child.”

As she spoke, she took out a deck of playing cards from her pocket and handed them to Uncle Li Dong. Qing Chen saw his teacher smile, unwrap the deck, and scatter it into the night sky.

Each playing card spun like a razor blade, cutting through the darkness above.

The pitch-black night sky was instantly lit up by dozens of bursts of flame.

...

Three more days until the launch! On June 1st at midnight, get ready for the explosion of updates!
