Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1880: Chapter 981: Ready to Renounce Monasticism at Any Time

When the world lit up again.

”Someone left again,” Xiao Qi had just completed a new round of personnel searches and sat dejectedly in the mountain valley, lamenting, ”Everyone says no one cares about us anymore, no support, no supplies, as if we don’t matter at all.”

Since the Parents’ Meeting began traveling far, they have been mostly cut off from the outside world.

Tens of thousands roamed the mountains like savages, hair disheveled, barefoot.

Before this, it was hard for them to believe that human soft soles could quickly adapt to the hard mountain roads and become resilient after leaving shoes behind.

But hardship is not frightening; what is most terrifying is the feeling of being abandoned.

The Phoenix City’s Air Navy Fleet occasionally comes searching the mountains, increasingly frequently, yet the Qing’s Family’s air support is nowhere in sight, leaving them to die meaninglessly.

This makes the Parent Association Members feel that everything they are doing now is meaningless.

Among the mountains and wilderness, the 330,000-person team of the Parents’ Meeting was reduced to 260,000, with over 70,000 people lost.

Some died from being pursued by the Phoenix City’s Air Navy Fleet, while others couldn’t endure this journey, quietly leaving on their own.

Hunger and cold became their norm.

All the Parent Association Members grew gaunt from starvation, their cheeks slightly sunken, planning even roots for allocation.

Many trudged over a thousand kilometers, and eventually, the news of Qing Chen’s disappearance became the last straw that broke them.

The night Qing Chen disappeared, Luo Wanya did not conceal the news.

That night, over 20,000 people left the Parents’ Meeting because everyone could no longer see any hope.

At this time, the monks from Dahui Temple had just returned with collected herbs, everyone carrying bamboo baskets full of medicinal plants.

Xiao Qi looked at the Abbot: ”Abbot, are there any wild vegetables in these mountains that can be eaten?”

The Abbot used sign language.

The little monk beside him translated: ”The Abbot says, ’You are too difficult like this, we might as well go off on our own...’”

Xiao Qi: ”...”

Are these really proper monks?! How could they start disdaining the Parents’ Meeting...

Admittedly, those fake monks pretended to be compassionate every day, yet these real monks showed some genuine personality, the Abbot even flipping the finger when angry.

Xiao Qi once asked the Abbot why he was swearing, how could he use foul language, wasn’t it against the rules?

The Abbot answered in sign language: ”I didn’t speak, so it’s not breaking the rules.”

Xiao Qi was left speechless.

Originally, the monks planned to fight with the pseudo-army, lose and die on the mountain, win and break the rules to return secular. Yet that battle never came their way.

The Abbot was quite pleased afterward: ”Today, no need to return secular!”

They were still a group of monks ready to return secular at any moment, awaiting the day they break the rules...

The Abbot signed: ”Are you planning to walk to the southwest just like this? How long will it take? Nobody is coming to help you?”

Xiao Qi was speechless for a moment: ”I can’t answer these questions.”

The Abbot signed again, the little monk translated: ”You’re so pitiful.”

Xiao Qi: ”How is there an exclamatory particle! Don’t add drama to the translation!”

The Abbot then asked: ”Where is your boss, Qing Chen?”

Xiao Qi replied sorrowfully: ”I don’t know either.”

At this moment.

Qing Shuli had detached from his group, sprinting through the forest: ”The boss is fine! The boss is alive! The boss is fine! The boss is alive!”

The Parents’ Meeting had waited too long for this news.

At this moment, Luo Wanya, Xiao Qi, and others turned swiftly upon hearing the distant shouting!

Qing Shuli, panting heavily, approached: ”Before crossing, Qing Chen called me...”

As he spoke, his throat was so dry he couldn’t say a word, having sprinted over twenty kilometers without drinking a drop.

Xiao Qi hurriedly handed him the canteen: ”Speak slowly, speak slowly, but as detailed as possible!”

Qing Shuli took a sip of water: ”He said over the phone that he was amnesiac but is gradually recovering some memories, currently trapped with Black Spider and Yi in a safe house, planning to return to us when the Central Royal City surface troops let down their guard! His cancer has been cured!”

Xiao Qi’s face brightened, all family members had been asking ’How’s the parent’ ’Is the parent alive’, Qing Chen’s life or death had genuinely become the mental pillar of the Parents’ Meeting, if the bad news about Qing Chen were revealed, possibly half of the team would disperse.

Luo Wanya murmured: ”As long as he is alive...it means he has completed the path to deification! Everyone, although we are unsure when the boss will come back, as long as he is alive, our perseverance has meaning, spread the news, tell everyone! Wait, there seems to be something wrong with the boss’s words.”

Xiao Qi asked: ”Elder Qin, where is the boss in the Outer World?”

Qing Shuli hurriedly said: ”At a rainforest drug-making factory at 23 degrees north latitude, he said he would wait for us to pick him up there.”

Xiao Qi smiled: ”That’s probably the direction Mr. Zheng was looking for; next time we return, we can bring him back, then help him recover his memory together.”

However, at this moment, Luo Wanya glanced at the countdown on his arm and froze: ”The countdown has changed!”

All Time Travelers simultaneously looked down, and saw the countdown was shockingly 719:19:01.
