Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1211: Chapter 697: Taboo ACE-022, Queen Ant!_2

“No, Luo Wanya is already on his way here. He is the most suitable candidate to take over this city,” Qing Chen shook his head and said, “If a Knight is trapped in a city, they lose their deterrence.”

“Good that you figured it out,” Uncle Li Dong nodded, “What do you think of the Qing Family? This time, the Qing Clan House Master on Ginkgo Mountain has planned a lot for you. He used the Door of Shadow to bring me over and let Qing Ji and the Qing’s Family military leave you to die. His methods are so ruthless that even Jindai Chika might find it hard to surpass him. No, there is a difference between the two; the Qing Family’s actions are more ruthless, while Jindai Chika’s are more disgusting. But no matter what, neither has the ordinary people’s lives in mind. He gifted this city to you, and that will affect many things…”

Qing Chen was cut off from communication in City No. 10, so he had a deficiency of information.

Uncle Li Dong helped fill in some of the gaps, allowing him to suddenly understand the role the Qing’s Family had played in this situation.

The Qing’s Family seemed to have done nothing yet achieved their goal.

And the most crucial point was that the Shadow once told Qing Chen that the old man on Ginkgo Mountain was most worried about Qing Chen’s reluctance to take power. Yet once Qing Chen took City No. 10, it would mean he had no choice but to accept it.

A city of six million people needs food and drink, which all rely on various production bases in the wilderness.

So Qing Chen, if he wants to feed these people, must accept resource deliveries from the Qing’s Family, unless he wishes to starve the city’s residents.

Qing Chen fell silent: “I need to think about this matter carefully, Master, please allow me some time to think.”

…

…

Return countdown 112:00:00.

Eight in the morning.

Qing Chen went downstairs and called Xiao San over: “Luo Wanya will be arriving soon. Once you maintain order here, gather all the electricians from the refugees and have them wait at the power plant. Someone will bring new equipment. When power is restored, get an excavator to dig out the ruins of the Flying Bird Building for me. For now, put up isolation tape and post trustworthy people to guard it.”

Previously, to kill the Rat King, he borrowed a piercing missile from the Li Family, but instead of hitting the Rat King, it ended up collapsing the Flying Bird Building.

In this situation, it would take at least ten days to find the Outer World.

From afar, someone shouted, “Found the Rat King! It’s lying in the sewer ahead and isn’t dead yet!”

Qing Chen, still chatting with his master, immediately set off, relieved to have finally found the Rat King. He had been worried it had escaped into the wilderness!

Upon arriving at the scene, he saw He Jinqiu standing wearily on the street, and Xiao San beside him said, “It was this Boss He who helped find the Rat King. His Jade Heart Sword moves freely in the sewer, making it exceptionally convenient for searching.”

Seeing Qing Chen, He Jinqiu spoke softly, “This is a gift outside the deal, no need to thank me. Plus, an extra piece of information: creatures that have been parasitized by the Queen Ant cannot survive. After the host of the Taboo died, the Queen Ant retracted all its tentacles. The Rat King’s spine is covered in wounds, and it’s on the brink of death, so you won’t be able to control it again. Which is a pity.”

Qing Chen, however, asked, “If I want to control other groups, what should I do?”

He Jinqiu replied, “Drop your blood on red wood, capture one member of the group, and let it eat the Queen Ant. Control it to find the group leader. Once it approaches the group leader, the Queen Ant will know what to do.”

“Thank you,” Qing Chen said, “Why is Boss He giving away such help?”

He Jinqiu thought for a moment and said, “To do something for the people who died, don’t have a guilty conscience. Future transactions will still be transactions.”

Just then, Qing Shuli also ran over from a distance: “There are still survivors in the city. During our extermination operations, we found that the Garrison Camp is under attack by a swarm of cockroaches!”

Qing Chen was taken aback: “Refugees previously mentioned seeing cockroaches as large as basins, and they were telling the truth! Qing Yi, Yan Chunmi, come with me to check it out, all the elite follow, ordinary people stay for continued extermination work!”

Nobody knows how large the cockroach swarm is or how aggressive they are, so he decided to take the elite to survey the situation first.

Qing Chen and the Spy Bureau quietly infiltrated, while Uncle Li Dong moved through the rooftops of buildings.

Looking up, they saw Uncle Li Dong casually leaping across hundreds of meters of sky, landing from one rooftop to another…

Exceptionally graceful.

“Ah wow,” Qing Yi envied, “This Demi God Knight’s physique is really something extraordinary!”

Along the way, Qing Chen and his people saw a few cockroaches scattered on the streets. Curiously, the Garrison Forces were in The First District, and everyone noticed the streets got significantly cleaner once they entered The First District.

No bloodstains, no corpses, no rat carcasses.

Aside from being slightly disheveled, it seemed like no battle had taken place.

“Did they eat everything clean?” Qing Yi asked quietly.

“No way,” Qing Chen shook his head, “It’s likely that no battle actually occurred here… Strange.”

At that moment, as they passed a street, they saw a group of cockroaches frantically crawling inside a dessert shop, each as large as a basin, leaving the shop in chaos.

But strangely, when those cockroaches saw them coming, they ran away…
