Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1412: Chapter 772: Tasting the Bitterness of Love

Actually, even if those two bombs weren’t found, they couldn’t have been detonated anyway, because Qing Chen has the ability to destroy the remote control with an electromagnetic pulse before the signal source on the other side is transmitted.

If you want to kill Qing Chen, the best way is to directly attach the explosives to the puppet. Now, just a manual pull of the fuse, and Qing Chen will inevitably suffer heavy blows, possibly even die.

Doesn’t this method seem simpler than blowing up the whole building?

Anyway, the puppet’s life isn’t worth much; just carry out a suicide attack. But the opponent didn’t do that.

Of course, with Yangyang around, if Zong Cheng really did that, Qing Chen would’ve run away long ago.

But why didn’t the other side do so? Is it because the opponent doesn’t want to kill Qing Chen, and keeping Qing Chen alive is still useful?

So is there any possibility that the benefits the opponent wants to gain after exposure must be obtained from Qing Chen?

Qing Chen just feels like he’s face-to-face with a budding artificial intelligence, both engaged in a match.

This is an opponent he must re-evaluate and take seriously.

Zong Cheng looked at Qing Chen and smiled, “It seems we talked a lot today. Let’s meet again next time.”

As soon as the words fell, the aunt opposite Qing Chen instantly bled from all seven orifices and died.

Qing Chen stood up, decisively walking out.

…

…

Return countdown 14:00:00.

It was 10 o’clock in the morning.

In the woods.

Chen Jiazhang sat by the bonfire roasting a wild boar leg, Zard beside him rested his chin on his hand, eagerly waiting and periodically asking if it was ready.

Da Yu was sleeping nearby, and in recent days, he had grown more and more lethargic.

Chen Jiazhang asked Zard, “Hey, kid, do you guys have any brewing liquor in your wilderness settlement?”

Zard shook his head, “We’re short on food, where would we find the grain to brew liquor? Usually, only when people from the Lian tribe in Xiuzhu State come out to trade will they bring a bottle or two of their brewed green wine. I wanted to drink it, but at the time I was still wearing the Little Sapling limited skin, and trees can’t drink alcohol.”

Chen Jiazhang: “…”

During this time, Chen Jiazhang had come to understand Zard’s nonsense; you just have to filter out his gibberish and can still extract some content.

“I know about green wine, though it’s tasty, you shouldn’t drink too much. I suffered because of that stuff back then,” Chen Jiazhang remarked nostalgically, “The Lian tribe is a rather unique clan where males have low status, and only by consuming something called Naked Heart Gu can they have equal status with women in the village. But the problem is, once you eat that thing, your freedom is gone, and for the rest of your life, you’ll only be able to love the woman who raises the Naked Heart Gu.”

Zard thought for a moment and asked, “Is it tasty?”

“Are you focusing on the wrong point? Everyone avoids this thing, and you’re asking if it’s tasty?” Chen Jiazhang said irritably, “Anyway, I’ve never eaten it, but I’ve heard it’s bitter.”

Zard replied, “Mostly… I want to experience the bitterness of love, having grown this old.”

But as soon as he spoke, the sound of rustling footsteps emerged from around the campfire. Chen Jiazhang looked around in astonishment but could only see giant trees and no human figures.

The bushes were shaking, and tall weeds swayed. Sounds came from all directions, and it seemed like they were surrounded.

This location is far from the Chen Corporation’s army, and there’s no air force overhead, so it can’t be the Chen Clan’s people.

So who else in this wilderness would make Chen Jiazhang unable to find any trace?

In the next moment, Zard pointed in the 7 o’clock direction and said, “I saw a golden figure flash by.”

“Trouble!” Chen Jiazhang stood up, “Could the Lian tribe be coming? They left a Naked Heart Gu in me back then, and I thought it’d be dead by now! Quick, quick, wake Chen Yu up. We need to leave at once! If we can’t escape, we’ll have to fight!”

Zard responded, “But he’s sleeping soundly.”

“When is it not sleeping time now!” Chen Jiazhang walked over to shake Huan Yu awake, “Wake up, stop sleeping.”

At this point, Huan Yu opened his eyes and looked at Zard with surprise, “Zard brother, how many days have passed?”

Chen Jiazhang: “?”

He felt something was off.

Zard counted on his fingers and seriously calculated for quite some time, “Several days… Oh, here’s a letter your brother left for you.”

He took a letter from his chest and handed it to Xiao Yu, which startled Chen Jiazhang, “What’s wrong with the kid?”

Zard explained, “They have two souls inside them, so consider it split personalities; each personality alternates in appearance. The one you know is Da Yu, and now the one present is Xiao Yu.”

Following that, Zard patiently instructed Xiao Yu, “Xiao Yu, here is the ‘old geezer’.”

Chen Jiazhang: “?”

Xiao Yu was confused, “What?”

Zard explained, “Your brother specifically instructed you to call him ‘old geezer’; otherwise, your brother might not be pleased.”

Chen Jiazhang responded irritably, “Why specifically instruct that? Is there anyone normal among you? Besides, stop chit-chatting at this time; don’t you have any sense of danger?”

But as he spoke, it was already too late.

In the woods, seven Gold Corpses blocked seven directions, forming a Seven Stars Beidou Array and tightly trapping Chen Jiazhang and the others within the formation.

Chen Jiazhang jumped in frustration, “I said we shouldn’t come to the wilderness settlement, but you insisted!”

At this moment, a woman in her late twenties emerged from the forest, accompanied by more than ten Lian tribe women.
