Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 422: Outer World’s Li Dongze

50 meters, that’s the effective range of a pistol.

260 meters, that’s the effective range of an automatic rifle.

However, when no one had automatic rifles, if someone used a pistol to achieve the effect of an automatic rifle, the situation would become overwhelmingly dominant.

Qing Chen safely hid behind Zhao Yayu’s body, avoiding any bullets.

He originally wanted to push Xu Zimo’s head down to protect her from stray bullets.

But thinking of stretching his arm out, which could expose it to the danger of stray bullets, he ultimately decided against it.

...
He just reminded her, “Duck your head.”

Then Xu Zimo came to her senses and hid behind Zhou Xuanying.

Through the night, the business car slowed to a stop, and Qing Chen shot calmly from inside the vehicle.

These Deer Island Time Travelers had obviously undergone professional training; they couldn’t decide whether Qing Chen’s first shot was a fluke or truly precise, but they all hit the ground immediately to minimize their exposure to gunfire.

This was one of the most practical tactical movements; many had survived battlefields this way.

On the battlefield, everyone’s shooting was not that accurate—people shot upon seeing someone. It was once estimated that about 250 to 500 bullets were needed to kill an enemy in war.

This is real data.

So, minimizing one’s target area was the wisest decision.

Also, what if the first shot was just a fluke? A pistol headshot at 260 meters was like winning the lottery; this wasn’t what the instructors in the Inner World taught!

But what they didn’t know was that the man they were facing trained with targets the size of coins, no matter the distance.

The next second, a Time Traveler who was crawling on the ground and firing, suddenly got a bullet in his forehead and silently dropped his head.

The remaining two Time Travelers were shocked; the first shot was definitely not a fluke!

The opponent indeed had such shooting skills!

By the time they realized this, it was already too late.

Previously, what seemed like a wise decision to lie on the ground now limited their ability to move. It was easy to lie down, but much harder to get up.

The two assassins rolled on the spot, trying to dodge the bullets.

In the end, as they rolled, they were gone.

In just 5 seconds, all four Deer Island Time Travelers outside had fallen to the ground.

The Deer Island Time Travelers did fire back, but ultimately only managed to hit Zhou Xuanying’s shoulder through the window.

The gunfire ceased, leaving only Zhou Xuanying in the car, still clutching his shoulder and screaming in pain.

The students cautiously raised their heads to look outside the window, and they were suddenly shocked to discover that the previously gun-wielding Time Travelers were all lying in pools of blood.

Everyone silently observed Qing Chen.

He still appeared weak, his cheeks still pale.

Yet it was this critically injured classmate who had just resolved a crisis they had never seen before in their lives.

Tian Hailong carefully recalled in his mind that Qing Chen had only fired five shots, right? The first bullet had killed Zhao Yayu, and the remaining four had taken out four assassins!

What kind of shooting skills were those? And to think that this person was his student?

Suddenly, Tian Hailong felt that all the past tales about Qing Chen were all wrong. Everyone said that Qing Chen worked part-time at night, but now it seemed that he must have been training as a special agent…

At this moment, Wang Jiale, still unnerved, asked, “Classmate Qing Chen, is it over?”

“Not sure yet, you guys stay hunkered down, don’t move,” Qing Chen calmly replied.

Xia Xiaoran hesitated and then said, “I’m sorry for blaming you before.”

She thought about how Xiao Ying had once mentioned: He’s doing something you guys can’t do.

Qing Chen did not respond to the apology but kept a cautious watch on the surroundings to ensure no other assassins were present.

Everyone else in the vehicle fell silent, all realizing their hands were still trembling.

Wang Jiale whispered, “I’m shaking pretty badly.”

Qing Chen slowly said, “That’s due to your body secreting adrenaline from fear. Your body is using the shaking to tell you that it’s ready; at this time your senses will begin to amplify, and your reactions will speed up, every outside stimulus will seem magnified. It’s ready, but whether you choose to face your fear with courage or admit defeat is up to you.”

The last statement highlighted the difference in everyone’s innate abilities and mental strength.

Zhou Xuanying’s screams still echoed through the compartment, from subdued to utterly exhausted.

Qing Chen told him, “You should regret not being killed by these Time Travelers just now.”

Zhou Xuanying, with cold sweat on his forehead, asked, “What are you going to do to me?”

“Nothing,” Qing Chen glanced at him, “You’re not innocent, but I won’t kill you. However, you should understand that your body in the Inner World is still under Deer Island’s control. Think about how they’ll punish you after this mission fails.”

Zhou Xuanying, nearly delirious with pain yet still terrified by the thought of past tortures, trembled.

“Help me, Classmate Qing Chen, you’re from Kunlun, right? Please, ask Kunlun to help me,” Zhou Xuanying said.

“Sorry, although I won’t kill you, I won’t help you either,” Qing Chen responded, “You can get off now and run to the service area; there might be a doctor there.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuanying immediately pulled the door open and used his last bit of energy to sprint toward the service area.

Qing Chen sincerely said in the vehicle, “Mr. Tian, classmates, I’m not able to move well, could you help Zhou Xuanying out? We’re all students here; we shouldn’t just watch him die.”
