Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1284: Chapter 721: Exemption Determination Beyond the Three Realms_4

If the shadow is shattered, it will transform into a new shadow.

After the shadow was shot, Zard yelled, ”Ouch!”

He held his head as if he had been hit by a bullet in the back of the head but still shouted, ”Thank you, boss!”

Da Yu turned around to confront his own shadow, angrily shouting, ”I don’t need your help, I’ll do it myself!”

As he spoke, he passed through the shadow. Da Yu struck more than ten times in just a second, each punch hitting the shadow’s vital points.

Da Yu endured the pain without changing his expression.

It takes someone with an extremely resolute mind, accustomed to life and death and pain, to be able to do that.

However, the shadow didn’t die. Instead, it fought back vigorously, hitting Da Yu with seven or eight punches, nearly making him spit blood.

Zard curiously asked, ”What’s going on? Just now, after hitting the vital points more than ten times, the shadow should be dead by now.”

Qing Chen pondered for a moment and reminded, ”The forehead! The forehead is the weak point!”

Da Yu was furious but still had to accept Qing Chen’s help. He once again passed through the shadow, suddenly demonstrating power uncharacteristic of an artist from the Chen Clan, and fiercely tapped the shadow’s forehead with his index finger like a thunderbolt.

With a bang, Da Yu’s shadow exploded upon being struck on the forehead and reverted to a normal shadow, moving with the light.

Qing Chen silently watched... Da Yu is extraordinary, it seems like he has more hidden cards apart from manipulating the Taboo and the Chen Clan’s artist legacy.

Da Yu sat on the ground, panting heavily, glaring at Qing Chen with annoyance, ”Next time you’re exploiting glitches in the system, stay away from me! Just sleep!”

”So, the shadows of these two people are just like mine, any damage they take will feed back as pain, but it’s only pain, not real damage,” Qing Chen analyzed.

The three didn’t return to the bonfire... it was simply too far away.

They rested where they were, planning to return to the wilderness settlement at dawn. Qing Chen and Huan Yu kept a distance of more than ten meters from each other, neither acknowledging the other, maintaining a strong sense of distance.

...

...

At dawn, Qing Chen suddenly heard an eerie sound. He looked up to the sky and saw seven floating ships flying high. They had originally been hidden in the clouds, but upon discovering the three, they immediately descended and targeted the three on the ground with the main firepower guns!

The floating ships were so high that even the three A-Class experts were unaware of them.

Qing Chen was about to wake the other two when he saw the seven floating ships descending at the fastest speed.

Facing the main firepower laser cannon of an A-Class floating ship, even A-Class experts find it hard to evade.

At this moment, Qing Chen finally saw the unit number; it was the second air force under the Chen Corp!

The same unit that Li Changqing had scattered!

Strange, why appear here all of a sudden, are they specifically targeting Qing Chen, or are they here to raid the settlement?

This place is already a bit far from the settlement; if the Chen Corp’s military was for the wilderness settlement, they shouldn’t appear here.

The Chen’s fleet didn’t directly attack but continued to lower altitude.

”Zard, Da Yu, wake up!” shouted Qing Chen.

Da Yu got up, rubbing his eyes in surprise, ”Brother Qing Chen!”

Qing Chen: ”...”

The identities of Da Yu and Xiao Yu, how could they switch at this time, it’s exhausting!

Qing Chen whispered, ”Zard, later, use your earth escape technique to move quickly.”

”But I need to come out to breathe during earth escape; in 15 minutes, I can’t move far enough to shake them off,” Zard said.

Qing Chen said, ”It’s okay, first avoid the main firepower lock, then after returning to the surface, immediately build a sand wall overhead to cover, giving me a chance to try and break through its power compartment.”

This fleet consists of one A-Class floating ship and six B-Class floating ships. If the A-Class floating ship is destroyed, the remaining B-Classes might not be able to do much against the three of us.

However, to penetrate the hull and hit the power cabin, before the Black Sniper couldn’t do that, now with electromagnetic acceleration, it’s worth a try, but still not guaranteed.

It was at this moment the floating ships broadcasted: ”Wilderness people on the ground, you are surrounded, do not offer futile resistance, await the arrival of the military.”

Qing Chen and Zard exchanged glances, realizing they weren’t the targets, but that the enemy intended to take live captives!

”The only reason for the army to spare the wilderness people is that they want them to explore the Taboo Land!” Qing Chen whispered, ”It’s strange; the Northern Federation is still in civil war. What kind of Taboo Land is worth Chen Corp taking such drastic measures, deploying the still fractured second air force?”

At this point, armed forces were closing in from both the front and the rear, and a large number of refugees were being escorted forward by the Chen Corp military, easily numbering in the thousands, all wearing the farming uniforms of the production base.

The military unit for this number of people was 4500, indicating a field brigade configuration.

Qing Chen was stunned; everyone had pretended to be farmers to deceive the Gao brothers, and now it turned out to be true?

Had the Chen Corp really raided the 1129 production base’s farmers to explore the Taboo Land?

Qing Chen suddenly said, ”They are heading to the Fire Pit! Zard, don’t resist, we’ll blend in!”

Saying this, he stuffed the Three Spheres, Puppeteer, Power Tail Ring, Silhouette, and satellite phone into Zard’s body.

A combat group of 30 approached, and Xiao Yu hid behind Zard, cautiously watching them.

A soldier raised the butt of his gun and knocked Qing Chen to the ground, while Zard compliantly kept Xiao Yu prone on the ground with him.

Someone stepped on Qing Chen’s face with a hard boot, pressing one side of it into the dirt, and coldly asked, ”Where are you from?”

Other soldiers began searching them, making sure they had no suspicious items or weapons before slightly lowering their vigilance.

Qing Chen said, ”We’re refugees from City 10, we’ve been heading south from City 10, got lost and ended up here!”

Qing Chen and his group, wanting to stick close to the Gao brothers, had all changed into ragged clothing and dirtied their faces, which now proved advantageous.

Moreover, the proud Da Yu had also gone dormant, leaving no flaw.

An officer slowly approached, ”How did you escape from City 10?”

”Previously someone made us walk through a door to the wilderness. They said there was a disaster in City 10 and told us to stay put, but we thought something was off and ran as soon as we reached the wilderness,” Qing Chen explained, ”Please, sir, spare us.”

The officer was silent for a moment, then said, ”Escort them to the ranks of the 1129 farmers, take them along.”

Qing Chen shouted, ”Officer, I’m a citizen of City 10, please send me back, I’ll be very grateful!”

The officer sneered, kicking him in the stomach, making Qing Chen curl up like a shrimp.

The officer said, ”You’re not going back to City 10!”

The 30-man squad escorted Qing Chen and the other two into the ranks, and the Chen Corp military continued their march westward, seemingly unaware of the wilderness settlement to the south.
