Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 873: 535, Peaceful and Prosperous Era

Humanity was once destroyed by the mechanical civilization, and a new era of civilization began from there.

Therefore, all people in the Federation remember one principle: do not explore the realm of artificial intelligence that humans cannot control. Even the current war robots strictly adhere to combat regulations with “pseudo-intelligence,” not independent thinking entities.

Humans have debated how to restrict a life form that is a thousand, ten thousand times smarter than themselves.

However, it turned out that only Qing Chen’s adoptive parents succeeded; they treated her as their own, scolding her when she made mistakes, and her mother even sulked and gave her the silent treatment during her rebellious phase.

Ren Xiaosu, Yang Xiaojun—these two unconventional parents raised an intelligent life form.

History and time proved that they did quite well.

Yet, Ren Xiaosu ultimately made an agreement with Qing Chen—not to kill.

He wasn’t worried that Qing Chen might do something outrageous; he knew his daughter well enough to understand that she wouldn’t commit wrongdoing, but he was worried about other humans knowing of Qing Chen’s existence.

Because those people considered artificial intelligence a “monster.”

Thus, Qing Chen could understand why Qing Chen was unwilling to kill. He patted the head of the war robot before him and smiled, “You don’t need to kill anyone, not today, not in the future. Leave the rest to me.”

Huh, Qing Chen felt a strange sensation.

The war robot was not her physical body, and the robot’s head had no sensation. Yet, Qing Chen felt a peculiar warmth because Qing Chen treated her as a human.

She considered herself human, but apart from her father, mother, and brother, no one treated her as human.

The war robot said nothing more, and the red lights in its eyes gradually dimmed.

Qing Chen turned and walked towards the A02 secret military base.

The electromagnetic alloy gates that should have been locked by Jindai Yunzi opened one by one.

Each time Qing Chen approached a door, it automatically swung open, not requiring him to pause even for a second.

The raggedly dressed boy and the intelligent girl cooperated perfectly.

Whether it was breaking through the metal storm just now or now, Qing Chen had never felt so unimpeded, as if they were born to be comrades-in-arms.

By this time, all the Jindai soldiers had retreated into the underground facilities of the A02 base, and Jindai Yunzi had hidden himself in the deepest refuge.

The underground facilities weren’t large, accommodating about a few hundred people.

Qing Chen wasn’t in a hurry to start killing.

He opened each soldier’s dormitory, clogged the sinks with plugs, and turned on the faucets to their maximum.

Soon, over a hundred dormitory sinks were filled, and water flowed onto the floor, then converged and flowed down the steps.

Qing Chen stood quietly with his eyes closed in the water, listening to the sound of flowing water, which formed waterfalls at the edges of the steps, constantly pouring downward.

He listened quietly to the confusion and fear of the Jindai soldiers.

He heard Jindai Yunzi roar, “Everyone, enter combat readiness, kill all living things!”

In the underground facilities, a Jindai soldier shouted, “Why is the water pouring down from upstairs? Wait, why is there so much water? It’s almost reaching the ankles.”

Qing Chen opened his eyes.

Tears filled his eyes.

He was not sad, just reflecting on the hardships he had endured so far and the people he had met.

These people were like chisels, carving on his life one stroke at a time.

Qing Chen walked one journey, dreamed another, and understood with clarity each step.

Everything was about to end.

At some point, something Qing Chen had almost forgotten began to boil again.

God’s blood!

The mysterious expert had injected the God’s blood into him, and he hadn’t fully absorbed it yet.

At this very moment, with Qing Chen’s surging emotions, the last of the God’s blood merged into the golden light deep in his heart.

Qing Chen suddenly understood that the prerequisite for absorbing the God’s blood wasn’t strength or level, but the spiritual will that could make a mortal equal to the divine!

The next moment, he bent down abruptly, pressing his hands with dazzling golden arcs into the water.

Qing Chen’s eyes no longer held black and white; instead, golden light burst forth.

Instantaneously, the golden light filled the A02 base, illuminating the entire world.

The God’s blood forcibly elevated Qing Chen’s mastery of thunder to B-Class.

It was something Qing Chen hadn’t accomplished even in life-and-death situations.

The tangible light pierced through the heights!

Like swimming dragons, the arcs of electricity followed the water flow, piercing through one Jindai soldier after another in the underground defenses.

At the refuge door, no matter how hard Jindai Yunzi tried, he couldn’t close the gate or stop the water flow.

He looked up in horror, seeing everything tinged with gold, which gradually turned white.

Jindai Yunzi couldn’t see anything!

The light swallowed everything.

The golden arcs spreading from Qing Chen’s hands paralyzed everyone standing in the water, making them stiff and lie in the water.

If I am trapped in this long night, I will redefine it with light and day.

“Daylight greets everyone.”

Qing Chen said softly.

…

…

The boy slowly descended the steps, using the puppeteer as a blade to harvest lives one by one.

Until he reached Jindai Yunzi, watching him struggle against muscle spasms and neuronal chaos after being electrocuted.

The human body is flesh, but neurotransmitters rely on electric signals to convey information. After an electric shock, even a B-Class expert like Jindai Yunzi loses most of their combat effectiveness.

Jindai Yunzi didn’t expect Qing Chen to have such a large-scale lethal method.

He struggled incessantly in the water, feeling his body gradually regaining sensation, looking at the stationary legs in front of him, sinking into despair.

Qing Chen calmly said, “You cannot die yet.”

He then shook his wrist and used the puppeteer to bind Jindai Yunzi’s wrist, turning him into a puppet.

Jindai Yunzi and Qing Chen walked out of the main structure of the A02 base one after the other.

Jindai Yunzi retained his consciousness, watching himself take down Wang Yuchao and Zhao Mingke’s bodies and carrying them together.

He watched himself walk slowly through the now deserted A02 base.

Heading toward the highest hill outside the base.

Jindai Yunzi was on the verge of collapse. He didn’t understand why he had become a puppet, nor why Qing Chen had suddenly emerged as a B-Class expert, and one of the scariest kinds.

People have classifications for Awakeners, and those who control thunder, air, force fields, and flames are in the top tier.

Today, Jindai Yunzi experienced the most incredible event in his thirty-seven years.

The boy from the pigsty killed every Jindai soldier in the A02 base!

Daylight!

The Daylight organization must be eliminated!

Jindai Yunzi’s mind had only this thought, but he couldn’t do anything!

He watched himself carry Wang Yuchao and Zhao Mingke’s bodies to the hill, digging out two graves with his hands in the hard frozen ground.

The tough soil left his hands bloodied.

At that moment, Qing Chen beside Jindai Yunzi suddenly spoke words that Jindai Yunzi completely didn’t understand: “You stole Shandong from the world, should the thirty-six million people of Shandong be angry? Should the four hundred million people of China be furious? … Forget it, I don’t know why I’m saying this suddenly, you don’t understand any of it. To bury Wang Yuchao and Zhao Mingke is your honor.”

Qing Chen was exceptionally calm at this moment.

Then, Jindai Yunzi saw himself bury Wang Yuchao and Zhao Mingke respectively, kneeling and knocking his head nine times before the graves.

The sound of “Dong Dong Dong” spread across the earth, and after knocking his head nine times, Jindai Yunzi’s face was also covered in blood.

Jindai Yunzi’s spirit completely collapsed. These people were once ants under his control, those insignificant small figures.

But now, Qing Chen’s psychological torture made him bury Wang Yuchao and Zhao Mingke, even making him kowtow.

Jindai Yunzi couldn’t accept it; he went crazy!

However, even so, Qing Chen didn’t intend to let him go.

The boy looked at the two mounds and said, “This person cannot be killed yet. I need to use him to kill some more people. His life… is borrowed for now.”

“Also, now I can’t give you graves yet because I’m afraid Jindai will come to destroy them. So, I promised you that you would see the day the Jindai flag falls here, that day I’ll erect your tombstones. Your tombstones can overlook this peaceful frontier.”

“Let’s go, there are many people to save, we will reunite in a peaceful era.”

Qing Chen turned and walked away.

At that time, children will fly kites in front of your martyrdom, someone will offer freshly picked flowers.

At that time, clear reading voices will echo in schools again.

At that time, I will carve “Success does not have to be with me, success must include me” these twelve words on your tombstones.

Blood might be shed on this path, but I will remember you said, any victory without bloodshed and sacrifice is false victory.

…

…

On the Yamata Airship.

A soldier ran frantically on the bridge, arriving at the command room shouting, “Sir, 180 soldiers at the A02 base have lost their vital signs; the chips behind their necks have lost bioenergy and failed!”

Someone in the command room said, “The opponent is faster than we anticipated. Speed up, order the two ground field divisions to quickly complete the encirclement, reach the battlefield one base point ahead of schedule!”

“Yamata Airship, full engine activation, reducing basic reserve energy by 5 base points!”

But at that moment, someone else burst in: “Sir, the Li’s Qingshan Ship has ascended again after completing its nuclear-powered maintenance at the military base. The Li Clan and Qing Clan’s First Army Group Seventh Division and Second Army Group Fourth Division have abandoned the Deer Island direction and are heading towards the main front with full force. The Li Clan and Qing Clan are launching a full-scale war; the commander ordered us to immediately abandon the A02 base and meet at the southern main battlefield!”

“Southern Forward Base 89 has prepared a temporary parking spot, repair station, and supply point for Yamata Airship!”

The lieutenant general in the command room frowned, “Are the Li Clan and Qing Clan mad? We just signed the armistice agreement!”

The command room fell silent; he didn’t hesitate long before making the right decision: “Yamata Airship return to Forward Base 89, order the two ground field divisions to continue advancing, resolve the chaos at the A02 military base at all costs!”

After speaking, he frowned at the holographic sand table before him.

The Li Clan and Qing Clan clearly weren’t prepared for winter warfare; their warm clothing and marching supplies weren’t adequately prepared. Why would they wage this war at all costs?!
