Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1151: Chapter 678: Safe Haven of the Lower Third District (Part 3)

Someone gathered the courage to organize a group of people to rush outside, intending to sprint all the way to the Lower Third District.

However, just as these hundreds had rushed out of the building, with only two hundred meters left to the defensive line of the Lower Third District, thousands of rats suddenly emerged from somewhere and ferociously swarmed at them!

Inside the defensive line, Xiao San and others watched the scene under the light of the fire.

The residents also saw this scene.

Those who had just escaped were surrounded by the swarm of rats, forced back into the distant darkness.

In the nighttime, someone shouted toward the Lower Third District’s defensive line: “Help!”

Some refugees were knocked down by the rats and slowly dragged into the shadows and darkness of the building.

Purple Family member Liu He said, “We can’t go, our own defensive line is unstable. Parents said to wait for the signal to open the passage to meet the Time Travelers from Whale Island. We haven’t seen the signal yet; we can’t rush out recklessly. Did you forget the Parents’ B Plan? Once we implement B Plan, saving the entire city would be a pipe dream. We must prioritize saving ourselves.”

However, Xiao San coldly replied, “You didn’t understand what Parents meant. While they want us to guard here, they genuinely wish to save all the city residents. The rat tide is just starting, it hasn’t multiplied in numbers yet, we can save people.”

“It’s too dangerous,” Liu He held him back. “We can’t go!”

Xiao San looked at him seriously and said, “What is the purpose of the Parents’ Meeting? Is it just for our survival? Don’t worry, the rat tide has not yet formed! Liu He, you stay behind, team two, follow me!”

Xiao San remembered what Parents once said: “This is the purpose of the Parents’ Meeting, Lao Luo. The Parents’ Meeting can truly help the world, and this world may want to help us in return. If the world and fate require our sacrifice in this catastrophe to prove our sincerity in changing the world, then I don’t mind being among those who sacrifice.”

If Parents can sacrifice, what is there that he cannot sacrifice?

With that, Xiao San led dozens of people into the darkness ahead.

Gunfire and screams echoed without end.

Liu He’s heart twisted as he silently watched, until the gunfire in the darkness stopped, causing his heart to slowly sink to rock bottom.

The cessation of gunfire likely means…

Before he could fully realize it, footsteps suddenly emerged from the darkness, Xiao San carrying two children on his shoulders, other family members also carrying people, all running toward the light.

Xiao San roared: “Prepare to shoot, once we cross the defensive line, kill all those rats!”

All the family members ran frantically, followed by a thousand refugees.

Xiao San led them across the defensive line, put down two children, and prepared to open fire in retaliation.

But the family members were astounded to find that once they neared the defensive line, the rat swarm stopped pursuing.

Some family members cheered behind the defensive line, but Xiao San quickly stopped them: “Every unit, hurry to rest; we have another tough battle ahead.”

The residents felt confused after hearing Xiao San’s words, as these community members seemed to know what would happen and were prepared to fight these rats?

At this time, looking back on the Federation members driving everyone away, it seemed more as if they were leading them to refuge rather than selling them out.

From beginning to end, these Federation members only cursed verbally, and at most fired shots into the air, never resulting in more than a kick to a man’s posterior.

Women, children, and the elderly were not mistreated by these fierce community members.

At this point, Xiao San loudly explained to the residents: “Don’t be afraid, everyone; all the sewers have been blocked by us. During this time, using the rat extermination special action, we’ve inspected all possible places for rat infiltration, ensuring nothing is overlooked; please evacuate quickly in an orderly manner…”

Speaking to this point, Xiao San might have felt his fierce persona was on the brink of collapse, so he quickly became aggressive again: “Move your damn asses, anyone who dares hold up the team’s progress, I’ll shoot them dead now!”

The stark differences in attitude left the residents perplexed, yet less resistant to the arrangements of the Parents’ Meeting.

In the night sky outside the Lower Third District, full of wails, the previously despised Lower Third District turned into an actual temporary refuge.

120 liaison officers of the Parents’ Meeting were running all over the city’s corners, gradually easing the manpower shortage as more family members started congregating at the main base.

These family members fiercely organized the migration of millions of residents, while Xiao San frowned deeply.

They have four Keys of Gate, with their current speed, they should achieve a throughput rate of two people per second for each gate, meaning eight people per second.

3600 seconds per hour, totaling 28800 evacuated per hour.

In the Lower Third District, more than half of the city’s population is gathered, as per the Parents’ Meeting’s household registration statistics, amounting to 6.31 million people.

To evacuate all residents of the Lower Third District, theoretically, it would take at least 9 days.

Will the rat tide give them 9 days? No, according to Parents’ estimate, the rat tide can slaughter the Upper Sixth District in just 3 days.

The Parents’ Meeting can only evacuate residents as quickly as possible and then hope for the timely arrival of the Federal army’s support.

Xiao San leaned against the defensive line, lighting a cigarette, quietly watching the rapidly advancing queue of residents.
