Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 875: 537, focus on three things at once!

Li Cheng continued, “We all have positioning chips and micro-explosives on our necks. Jindai can kill us anytime.”

But Qing Chen did not appreciate it. He spoke as casually as discussing what to have for lunch, saying, “The independent military system of A02 base has already been destroyed by me. They can’t detonate the explosives on your necks. I’m not negotiating with you, but as an Inspector of the Council of State Advisors and an Independent Director of the Li’s Financial Group, I’m ordering you to continue the battle with me.”

Independent Director, was the status given to Qing Chen by Li Xiurui to sit at the decision-making table.

As for the Council of State Advisors, this was the identity given to Qing Chen by the current Family Head, Li Yunshou, after Qing Chen arrived in City No.10, for Qing Chen to manage the Li’s intelligence personnel within the PCA.

These words made Lao Lee suddenly stand straight like a javelin: “Captain of the Third Section, General Staff of the First Army Group, Li Cheng, willing to continue the battle!”

…

…

If the Li Family’s marching troops in the snowfield were like a pack of wolves, then Qing’s Family would be even more barbaric and ruthless.

More than twenty Genetic Warriors always formed the front line.

Originally, Jindai mainly targeted the northern intelligence system led by Qing Mu, so the ones captured were of higher rank.

Among those captured, over three hundred Genetic Warriors were tortured until only twenty or so remained.

The middle-aged Qing Ling led the front, like the bow of a nuclear-powered icebreaker, tearing through all obstacles.

Qing Ling walked through the snow while saying, “I have observed Qing Chen Inspector’s state and am certain that someone will come to rescue him; he has confidence. But you know, in this ghostly place, no one can lead all nine hundred of us away. Even if Qing’s Family and Jindai initiate a full-scale war, it would take at least three to five years to reach here.”

Thus, Qing Ling never hoped someone could rescue him from the very beginning.

When he saw Qing Chen stop building stone walls, he realized what he must do: not to force Qing Chen to make the difficult decision of whether to take them or not.

So.

Don’t leave the toughest choice to others, leave it to yourself.

If there is no hope for oneself, leave hope for others.

I will take the most dangerous place.

I will undertake the toughest mission.

As long as victory can be achieved in the end, I will dedicate everything to tomorrow.

This is what Qing’s Family soldiers adhere to.

In fact, there are internal differences within the Qing’s Family troops. Some troops controlled by family factions have long been corrupted by power and money.

For instance, the troops led by the Fourth Branch’s Shadow Candidate, Qing Huai, were of this sort.

Other Qing’s Family factions also have their own armies.

Only the unit passed down by the Shadow is still holding onto some original values.

Qing Chen doesn’t know, but this is also why the elderly on the mountaintop of Ginkgo Manor and the Shadow entrusted Qing’s Family intelligence personnel and the Shadow’s direct lineage troops to him.

Wherever this troop is, there is Qing’s Family.

Besides this, everything else can be restarted, and Qing’s Family people never lack the courage to start over.

At this moment, Qing Ling whispered, “That kid Li Cheng runs so fast, I wanted to pull the Li Family members to carry together, it seems it’s not possible now.”

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, raised his right hand high, clenched into a fist: “This is it, set up defenses!”

This was a narrow mountain pass where the power of automated weapons was minimal.

Of course, even this so-called minimal power was enough for Jindai to kill them all here.

Qing Ling loudly issued orders: “Old and weak, sick and disabled step forward voluntarily, you will make a defensive stance at this mountain pass and attract fire, any problems?”

Out of 927 people, 421 voluntarily came to Qing Ling’s front; they were either old, had frostbite on their knees, or couldn’t participate in direct combat.

“No problem!” They responded loudly.

Qing Ling then said to the others, “Remaining 27 Genetic Warriors, and those capable of fighting, follow me to the ambush on the flanks. Once the firefight starts, we will charge from the flanks to their rear, kill as many as possible, don’t let the brothers at the mountain pass die in vain! Understood?”

“Got it!”

This was a very crude strategy: using half the people’s lives to gain a chance to charge.

Otherwise, a group of unarmed people couldn’t break through the enemy’s fire blockade.

But whether destined to die or to charge, no one objected, because everyone clearly understood, this was not a matter of sacrificing or preserving anyone.

Everyone would die.

Qing Ling hefted the stone in his hand, self-mockingly said, “This is the poorest battle I’ve ever fought.”

Someone beside him asked, “Sir, Jindai has guns and bullets, might even have taken the first-order genetic potion, even if our hundreds charge out, we might only kill five or six, isn’t the loss ratio too high?”

Qing Ling glanced at him, “Then don’t fight? The ones coming to rescue Qing Chen, surely have to deal with this group of Jindai bastards, if we kill five or six, can’t they kill five or six less?”

Soon, the four hundred old and weak, sick and disabled set up a simple defensive fortification, picking up thousands of handy stones.

A group of people crouched behind the trenches, joking and mocking each other, laughing at the fact that in this era, they were fighting with stones.

While mocking, Jindai’s troops had already arrived, totaling 1600 Jindai soldiers, divided into two groups.

One group went after the Li Family, another went after Qing’s Family.

Qing Ling silently crawled in the snow, exposing only half his head to observe.

The next moment, he was stunned. Someone in Jindai’s troops held a piece of black crystal screen.

Qing Ling recognized this as a positioning system.

The positioners and micro-explosives on their necks had exposed them all to this screen.

Normally, this was used at the end of Winter Hunt, with Jindai capturing all prisoners hiding in the snowfield.

In the early stages of Winter Hunt, this device wasn’t used to lower the difficulty of hunting.

Qing Ling breathed heavily, whispering, “I understand now, Jindai isn’t hunting, they intend to massacre us all directly… They know we’re ambushing here.”

“What do we do?”

Qing Ling paused, then smiled bitterly, “What else can we do?”

He composed himself and then stood up from the snow, shouting, “Charge!”

With that, he ran out with the stone in his hand, followed by hundreds of others.

Qing Ling didn’t feel heroic, he felt poor fighting as a martyr without proper weapons.

But he wasn’t ashamed.

Qing Ling roared, “The success does not rest on me, charge!”

At that instant, Qing Ling heard someone shouting “Charge!” from the 3 o’clock direction!

“Kill!” Someone roared closer!

Qing Ling turned to see Lao Lee, holding an automatic rifle, wearing Jindai’s winter uniform, charging Jindai’s troops.

The more than eight hundred Li Family members roared out, Lao Lee shouting, “Qing Ling, I’m here to save you!”

The eight hundred men formed a combat team, surging like a tide, forming an inspiring steel wave.

Angry wave!

Jindai’s troops, intending to ambush Qing Ling’s men, didn’t expect so many from another direction with armed forces.

They saw Lao Lee’s ragged uniforms and instantly knew the other team suffered misfortune; they’re Jindai’s uniforms!

As they charged, Lao Lee issued orders: “Don’t waste ammo, wait until within fire range to shoot!”

Feeling twenty years younger, his nineteen years of winter life, again seeing a long-awaited summer!

Blooming summer!

At this moment, Qing Chen controlled Jindai Yunzi, Takahashi Izumi, each holding automatic rifles.

The three shot rhythmically, advancing step by step.

Automatic rifle’s accurate range was 250 meters, beyond which hitting was harder, depending on luck.

Qing Chen at six hundred meters, controlled Jindai Yunzi and Takahashi Izumi to fire.

Lao Lee stunned, as each trigger pull knocked down an enemy soldier.

As if all three had absolute gun sense!

Not only shooting enemies, but also high-speed flying drones were hit.

Qing Chen ignored others’ gazes, his brain rapidly calculating.

Wind speed, humidity, angle, all data gathered in his mind, forming answers.

Each calculation result was a life.

Simultaneously calculating three trajectories!

This was why Qing Chen practiced Third-order Rubik’s Cube after returning, learning to use three at once as puppet controls increased.

Qing Chen never did useless things, everything he did had a reason.

This time, he forced himself to reach absolute gun sense no matter the number of controlled people!

This battle, he waited too long.

Li Cheng, Qing Ling waited too long.

Qing Mu also waited too long.

Jindai officers, noticing the difference, lost hunting interest, hurriedly pressed the detonation key on the crystal screen.

Pressing it, no successful detonations, only white letters: Daytime Tycoon greets you all.

Yi did more; during Qing Chen’s clash with another troop, they tried calling reinforcements but failed.

Yi vowed not to kill, but this didn’t count as killing…

Indeed, not killing.

Envying Qing Chen’s “Daytime greets you” style, now Yi imitated it, feeling awesome.

Happy!
