Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1032: 638, Faceless Army

Return countdown 31:00:00.

“Today’s news, District 3 of City No. 10 has a brand-new look, and the building that has been dim for over thirty years is now lit. According to the front-line reporter, this action was a collective decision made by nearly a hundred organizations. Currently, it is not clear why these organizations acted, and further investigation is underway.”

In the fifth district of City No. 10, in a ground-floor apartment, a middle-aged man sat in front of the holographic TV, watching the female host projected in front of him, muttering: “Even lighting up lights in the shabby houses of District 3 can be made news? What’s the point in paying attention to such things.”

As he spoke, his eyes continuously swept towards the hostess’s chest, even standing up to look down from a height, as if that would let him see something in the holographic projection.

Just then, the middle-aged man suddenly heard a noise coming from the bathroom.

He suspiciously headed towards the bathroom.

A clatter, as if some kind of ceramic object was shattered.

The middle-aged man astonishingly opened the bathroom door and was shocked to see a basketball-sized rat drop down from the central air conditioning vent in the ceiling, its weight cracking his toilet.

“What the hell is that?!” the middle-aged man exclaimed in disbelief, instinctively reaching for a mop to hit the rat.

But the scene he saw next made his scalp tingle, every hair on his body standing on end.

He saw rat after rat falling into the room from the already damaged central air conditioning duct, densely packed, with tails as thick as a child’s arm.

The middle-aged man screamed, slamming the bathroom door shut.

But before he could close it tightly, a rat had already wedged its body in the door gap.

The middle-aged man had to give up, madly dashing towards the outside door.

Just as he reached out to turn the door handle, three rats leapt onto him, biting viciously.

These newly grown rats needed to eat, never before have they craved protein as much as today.

However, after biting off chunks of flesh, they didn’t swallow but climbed back into the vent duct, stacking like Arhats, delivering fresh meat to the young rats inside.

The young rats crawled densely within the duct, and after consuming the food, they didn’t grow rapidly like the previous rats but maintained their natural size, though their muscle fibers and bones evolved more perfectly.

The larger rats continued seeking the next target, seemingly tireless yet rarely eating.

It seemed their destiny was to selflessly contribute to the new generation of the rat swarm.

Such phenomena are common in nature, but never before in a rat population.

The speed at which they reproduce is beyond imagination.

The middle-aged man’s mutilated body convulsed on the floor while the holographic projected hostess continued calmly broadcasting, “It is reported that in the past days, Qing’s Family, Chen Clan, Jindai, and Deer Island Financial Group have all submitted exercise plans to Congress. Currently, each unit has left their station, but specific destinations are unknown. An insider reveals this exercise plan is not simple, but where exactly these units have gone or what they’re doing remains unconfirmed…”

At this moment, a rat suddenly paused, quietly staring at the female host, as if it could understand what she was saying.

The next moment, it suddenly lunged at her, but its body passed through the holographic light, grasping nothing.

The hostess continued to smile while broadcasting, “It is reported that the Contraindicated courts also left City No. 10 in March, accompanied by nearly a hundred members. Some suspect the movement of the Contraindicated courts is related to this military exercise…”

…

…

“Big brother, were you sent to temper me? Of all times, you choose now to backstab me?”

Qing Chen was leaping evenly through the mountains and fields, complaining as he ran.

However, while he complained, regardless of how the terrain fluctuated, he steadily carried the Shadow on his back.

“I know you need to show weakness to lure out Chen Yu and Li Bingxi, but can’t you just act it out? There’s no need to do it for real!”

Qing Chen understood one thing very clearly: now, Chen Yu and Li Bingxi were like two ferocious wolves.

In a desert, if two wolves are after you, they can pursue you for half a month just for a meal, waiting until you’re out of options before coming close to feast on your flesh and blood.

And what Shadow is doing now is not only making himself look weak but also forcing Qing Chen to a dead-end, to really make them believe…

Chen Yu and Li Bingxi would then appear.

Where could Qing Chen find reason in this, with his own brother personally driving him to despair, it’s truly hard to guard against!

Meanwhile, Yang Yang carried Xiao Mengqiu, Sun Chu Ci, and Tuan Zi flying slowly in the sky. Although the speed was a bit slow, her ability to traverse in a straight line ignoring terrain kept her just a little behind Qing Chen’s speed.

As they spoke, an abnormal electromagnetic wave was transmitted from afar, causing Qing Chen, who was leading, to experience fluctuations in his internal thunder slurry. He simulated reflecting the electromagnetic wave while saying, “Descend, cover!”

Yet before Yang Yang was scanned by the phased array radar, she immediately landed, and the group quickly gathered together, while Zard instantly utilized his ability to cover the outside of everyone with sand and soil, forming a protective shell to evade the phased array radar and biometric scanning, creating a small stronghold-like structure.

Moreover, Zard worked diligently and meticulously, as his small stronghold even had weeds and vegetation on it.
