Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1370: Chapter 752: What’s There to Fear About Uncle Li Dong? He Doesn’t Even Have a Gatling

In the dim abyss, hundreds of soldiers from the Chen Clan wore night vision goggles and advanced swiftly.

They did not fire tracer rounds because, equipped with complete night vision gear, they had good visibility here, and firing tracer rounds would only forfeit their advantage.

Ahead, Mahasri cleared the path, swiftly slaying Da Yu’s Goddess and Exorcist King Kong.

Moreover, when Mahasri struck the Goddess, he did so with noticeably more force, fueled by a hint of personal vendetta.

Chen Yu sat sideways on the Green Ox, patiently waiting with a calm demeanor.

After clearing the perimeter, all the soldiers surged into the laboratory, rapidly searching every blade of grass, every corner inside.

However, they were quickly disappointed, as no signs of life were detected by any instruments here.

The people they were pursuing seemed to have vanished into thin air!

It was as if a detective was chasing a murderer along the corridor of a high-speed Eastbound train, pursuing from the front to the very end of the train.

Yet, upon entering the last carriage, the murderer performed a magic trick and vanished.

Only a Joker card remained in the database, tossed into an empty incinerator.

The Chen’s Army utilized sonar equipment and life-detecting devices, but found nothing.

At this moment, Chen Yu casually held the Joker card, with a faint, cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

Qing Chen and his group had killed nearly ten thousand of Chen’s soldiers, taunted the Chen Corporation’s army for days, and now audaciously left a Joker card as a provocation.

Even though both sides were in a life-and-death standoff, few dared to provoke a Federation Demigod like this!

Moreover, the most crucial part was that they managed to take away all the hard drives and data here before anyone found this place.

The secret to becoming a God, which he had been longing for, disappeared along with it.

This was the most important thing.

In the quest for the path to godhood, whether Qing Chen was personally killed or not, didn’t matter much.

A low voice from an officer asked, “Could they have left using the legendary Key of Gate?”

The chief of staff explained, “According to the intel, opening the Key of Gate requires someone to stay behind to close it, so for now, we can rule out suspicion of the Key of Gate.”

Chen Yu calmly ordered, “Dismantle everything in the lab, tear down the walls, if they left through the Key of Gate and no one stayed to close it, then they will naturally fall back out. Since someone has played magic on us, let us reveal the trick and see what the magic is.”

The demolition operation began, and Chen’s engineering battalion started to dismantle the entire lab, ceilings were removed, walls were knocked down, desks were overturned, and even toilets were smashed.

Surprisingly, they did find some things: a rusty handgun hidden in a water tank, a tape recorder concealed in a desk’s partition, lingerie and a whip in the employee dormitory, and a diary.

Due to time constraints, Qing Chen and his group couldn’t search as thoroughly; fortunately, they didn’t really care about those things either…

Chen Yu looked at these items with a blank face, showing no change in expression.

This was not what he was looking for.

He opened the diary, finding the paper yellowed and the handwriting slightly blurred: September 24th, two more doctors arrived at the secret base today, bringing with them data left by Dr. P at another base, supposedly related to Godhood and Ren Xiaosu. It documented crucial bodily parameters from when Ren Xiaosu coexisted with cancer, but I’m not really interested. All I want is for the company to agree to my request to create a female bionic body. I remember we have a lot of female Transcendent gene samples.

October 2nd, the test subjects experienced issues today. Previously used inhibitors started to gradually lose efficacy. We tried to improve them, but the bodies seemed to develop drug resistance.

October 7th, Dr. S said that other organizations’ spies infiltrated the secret base. The issues with the subjects and bionics are likely related to them. Bionic bodies also started having problems. They swayed within the glass containers as if awakening. While in the restroom, I overheard Dr. S and Dr. D talking—if the situation worsens, we must manually cut off all supplies and kill them, issuing a clearance command to Human-faced bugs to empty the abyss. I am somewhat scared.

November 3rd, we captured the spy, but the losses were heavy. A bionic body ended its dormancy and opened its eyes inside a glass container.

The diary ends here, hidden within the layers of a wooden bed, undiscovered.

It seems writing diaries in that secret base is forbidden.

Chen Yu, seeing this, felt an even stronger desire. He knew that secrets of the path to godhood indeed existed here, yet he couldn’t obtain them.

He thought silently to himself, did Qing Chen obtain it? He shouldn’t have, right?

The hard drives here, after thousands of years, hundreds of years, could not be repaired at all.

Chen’s soldiers also confirmed that the incinerator had extensive burn marks, and the most crucial materials must’ve been incinerated.

Thus, the things he didn’t acquire, Qing Chen likely didn’t acquire either.

However, regardless of whether Qing Chen obtained it or not, Chen Yu would find a way to capture Qing Chen and make him confess the truth in extreme agony.

At this time, soldiers knocked over the containers in the laboratory, but the place where the staircase should be had been securely blocked by Zard, looking identical to the bases under the ground elsewhere.

In the end, the laboratory was reduced to ruins, but the magic was not uncovered.

As if the Joker hadn’t performed a magic trick, but real magic.

…

…

Countdown 96:00:00.

In Taboo Land No. 008.

An infantry battalion was retreating from the outskirts of Taboo Land No. 008.

The battalion was threading through the forest, with dozens of War Robots at the forefront, like mobile fortresses, shielding the ground troops firmly behind them.

As they advanced, they heard a soldier controlling a drone reconnaissance say, “There’s something strange; unidentified personnel have appeared inside the Taboo Land, stay on alert!”

All soldiers knelt on one knee, faintly forming protection around a Chen Clan artist.

The soldier controlling the drone suddenly said, “Wait, it seems like it’s Uncle Li Dong? He seems to be coming towards us! Stay hidden, repeat, stay hidden, the enemy is coming towards us!”

The camp commander suddenly asked, “Is it only Uncle Li Dong?”

“Yes, only one!”

Upon hearing this, the painter from the Chen Clan let out a sigh of relief, then sneered, “Just a single artwork wants to make a move on us? Don’t worry, the cost of you killing him is too high, I’ll handle him.”

This Chen Clan painter was only B-Class, but if it was just a single A-Class artwork, he was more than capable of handling it.

The next moment, he crushed six pieces of artwork in succession. In an instant, the Gandharva, Exorcist King Kong, Flying Goddess and other celestial deities all flew out together, charging towards Uncle Li Dong.

The painter from the Chen Clan manipulated them to approach Uncle Li Dong.

But mutations suddenly occurred.

In the moonlit forest, Uncle Li Dong’s figure vanished in the blink of an eye. In just a breath, Uncle Li Dong reappeared.

The six artwork deities exploded into light and shadow, dissipating into the air, as if someone had set off six fireworks within this Taboo.

The Chen Clan painter and the soldiers sensed that something was wrong. Was the gap between A-Class and B-Class artwork really this huge?!

A flick of time, yet at this moment, it felt extraordinarily long for them.

Everything in the woods seemed frozen, everyone was stiff in place, but Uncle Li Dong was still moving.

Uncle Li Dong disappeared again, and the crowd only felt a gust of Wild Wind, and when Uncle Li Dong reappeared, he was already in the crowd, grasping the Chen Clan painter’s neck effortlessly lifting him, and said puzzled, “Aren’t Chen Clan painters usually so cowardly? What made you so brave that your first reaction upon seeing me wasn’t to flee…”

Uncle Li Dong’s voice was filled with confusion. He merely speculated that this might be the Fire Pit visiting the 008 Taboo Land, so he came to see if the great elder brought him any Taboo items.

But before he could see the great elder, he stumbled upon such a strange event…

Why was Chen’s Army here?

Why wasn’t Chen’s Army afraid of him?

Why was the Chen Clan painter so brave?

Uncle Li Dong couldn’t understand, but he was deeply shocked. He only felt that Chen’s Army’s combat quality had risen to a level of not fearing death.

It was only until this moment that the Chen Clan painter finally realized what had happened.

He cursed Chen Yu in his heart to no end…

This was truly the demigod, Uncle Li Dong, and Chen Yu misled me!

Over the past period, they had seen all the battle reports showing that Chen Yu attacked the wild regiment with artwork of Uncle Li Dong, that Chen Yu attacked the wild brigade with artwork of Uncle Li Dong, artwork of Uncle Li Dong wielding a Gatling gun and massacring, artwork of Uncle Li Dong carrying two grenades…

Such battle reports were so frequent that when the Chen Clan painter saw Uncle Li Dong just now, he thought, what’s so scary about Uncle Li Dong without a Gatling gun.

In the end, he kicked a real iron board, and with one kick, he was crushed into a pulp…

With a crunch, Uncle Li Dong twisted his neck.

The Chen Clan soldiers raised their guns to shoot, but Uncle Li Dong’s figure vanished once more. Five hundred soldiers in the camp flew backward, knocked against the trees, and slowly fell like scrolls.

Thud, thud sounds continued, and the leaves in the tree crowns were shaken down by the colliding bodies like a Great Snow.

Dozens of War Robots began to block Uncle Li Dong, with movement comparable to B-Class Genetic Warriors, quickly surrounding him.

But a series of sparks erupted, a gust of wind blew, and dozens of Autumn Leaf Knives accurately pierced the energy cores on the robots’ chests, exploding into balls of fire.

From start to finish, the soldiers never saw where Uncle Li Dong actually was.

This was a complete massacre.

A massacre without suspense.

Uncle Li Dong stood in the woods, looking around. He lifted the camp commander, the only survivor he deliberately left: “Let me ask you something, why aren’t you afraid of me?”

The camp commander was about to cry, “We’re terrified, really terrified, you misunderstood…”

“Oh?” Uncle Li Dong puzzled, “You didn’t seem to show much fear, tell me what exactly happened.”

The camp commander narrated the events of the past few days, as Uncle Li Dong’s brow furrowed deeper.

Qing Chen appearing in the 008 Taboo Land? Could it be he’s also there to rob the great elder? Damn, he’s been beaten to it by his disciple this time.

Then, he heard that Qing Chen was being pursued by Chen Yu, and his eyes filled with killing intent.

When he heard the camp commander say that Qing Chen had already disappeared, he slowly relaxed and started to focus on other things.

Chen Yu? A young painter from the Chen Clan, not painting deities but painting himself?

Something’s wrong.

Big problem!

The key is that Uncle Li Dong imagines six versions of himself, wielding Gatling guns running wild through the woods, and instantly feels that his image might be compromised.

It was almost instinctive, he thought this must be Qing Chen’s bad idea.

But why would Chen Yu paint himself? Uncle Li Dong had a premonition, but he didn’t know if it was good or bad…

He just felt that the world suddenly became absurd.

After snapping the camp commander’s neck, Uncle Li Dong did not venture deeper into the 008 Taboo Land, but instead quickly withdrew from it. It was not a place to stay long.
