Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 292: Forever Young

“Where are you two going?”

“Master, Weiyang Lake Park, thank you.”

Through his Bluetooth headset, Huan Yu clearly heard Qing Chen’s conversation with the taxi driver, momentarily stunned, not knowing what to say.

He actually took a taxi? In such a tense atmosphere, you suddenly took a taxi and ran away?

This doesn’t have any aesthetic sense at all!

By the time Huan Yu wanted to say something, the connection had already been cut off.

However, he had picked up some information when Qing Chen was talking to the taxi driver.

There was more than one person getting in the car; it was ‘two’ people.

Moreover, Daybreak accurately positioned the battlefield at Xian City’s Weiyang Lake Park, as if it were a pre-determined decision.

“There must be someone in Daybreak who has been to Xian City. Qing Chen certainly has someone around him who is very familiar with Xian City,” Huan Yu analyzed in a low voice.

After all, who would choose an unfamiliar place as a battlefield?

“Who has been to Weiyang Lake Park?” Huan Yu switched channels for the entire communication system and removed Qing Chen’s possible Bluetooth headset from the communication list: “What is there in Weiyang Lake Park?”

Someone replied: “There’s Weiyang Lake.”

Huan Yu raised his eyebrows: “…Who said that? Zhang San, slap him.”

Fengcheng 5th Road, Zhang San expressionlessly slapped a young man next to him.

Zhang San said: “Boss, I’ve been there. It covers nearly a thousand acres, and Weiyang Lake itself is over four hundred acres. There are quite a few forests in the park, built along Weiyang Lake.”

Huan Yu sneered: “Then let’s go and see what’s so strange about the battlefield Daybreak chose for us.”

Zhang San responded: “Received. We’ll go there now… By the way, Boss, should we go to the Vienna Hotel and control Qing Chen’s classmate?”

Huan Yu said lightly: “That’s not in line with the rules of the game. It’s too underhanded.”

Zhang San was stunned: “Boss, will Kunlun interfere tonight?”

Huan Yu laughed: “Don’t worry, they’re busy looking for the Koshima Consortium’s Time Traveler, they don’t have time to deal with us.”

At this time, Qing Chen was sitting in the taxi, breathing slowly.

The long run had put a lot of pressure on his cardiopulmonary function. This short time in the taxi was a rare rest for him.

In the chase with Zhang San just now, Qing Chen seemed relaxed, but he could actually feel the pressure from behind.

If he hadn’t planned three routes in advance, he would have been caught up with.

The last time he faced this kind of pressure was when he faced Cao Wei in Forbidden Zone 002.

This is a C-Class expert.

And possibly a hidden Awakened One.

Outside the window, snowflakes were falling one by one, melting the moment they touched the ground, making the ground look wet.

Qing Chen touched his hair, which was also wet, not just from the snowflakes but also from sweat.

Fortunately, the temperature in the city was higher. The place where he would conduct the second Trials of Life and Death should not freeze for a while.

He’s very tired, this is Qing Chen’s heartfelt words.

However, after the fatigue of controlling the rhythm of the battlefield, a huge sense of excitement was stimulating his nerves.

Even his brain was working faster.

Qing Chen touched his ribs, which were aching slightly.

Fortunately, he ate three Dragon Fish. The magical warm current healed most of his injuries, otherwise, it might be worse now.

However, at this moment, looking out of the taxi window, Qing Chen suddenly saw a familiar figure among seven or eight people.

He wanted to tell the driver to stop, but he didn’t in the end.

“Strange, how did he get here?” Qing Chen wondered.

The driver in the front seat said, “Don’t say such things, sir, I’ve been following the navigation all the way and haven’t taken a detour.”

Qing Chen: “….”

…

…

More than ten black business vehicles stopped at the entrance of Weiyang Lake Park.

Nearly a hundred people jumped out of the cars, and some people took boxes out of the trunks.

There were a total of 12 black boxes, each about the size of a computer host, with the words Boundary-011 written on them.

They clearly contained the Inner World’s Boundary-011 model drone group, but Huan Yu didn’t know how he got such a huge thing back.

Zhang San said coldly: “Those carrying boxes follow me, the rest spread out in the park to search for Daybreak’s whereabouts. Turn on instant communication on the communication channel.”

The killers were stunned. In this kind of park terrain, having to spread out to find the target was no different from sending them to their deaths.

And the meaning of Zhang San asking them to turn on instant communication was that they didn’t have to press the button to speak, so that before they were killed by the target, they could report the target’s position.

Even if the target was ambushing, they could still let out painful screams, and that’s how they would find the target.

The killers looked at Zhang San. He was going to use their lives to get information!

Zhang San calmly said: “Don’t forget where you are in Inner World. Since you have decided to pledge allegiance in exchange for benefits, you must bear the same risks.”

The killers bowed their heads, turning their Bluetooth headsets to instant communication mode, then went into Weiyang Lake Park.

However, the target was easier to find than they imagined.

The killers had just entered Weiyang Lake Park when they heard a roar!

A sniper bullet shot across hundreds of meters, blasting a killer into a cloud of blood.

“Sniper, it’s a sniper!” A killer screamed.

As soon as he finished speaking, this killer who wanted to find cover had his thigh broken by a terrifying anti-materiel sniper rifle bullet.

If no one rescued him in time, he would soon bleed to death.

The killers hid behind the rocks and trees in the park, letting the wounded killer scream.

Zhang San naturally knew how accurate this Daybreak sniper was. After the Xingshu Road incident, he had specially looked for a map to analyze the trajectory.

The other side had never missed within a kilometer, so he naturally wouldn’t miss this time.

Therefore, their “encirclement and annihilation” tactic was used against them by Daybreak.

“Don’t save him,” Zhang San said calmly: “We don’t have professional medical equipment here, we can’t save him.”

Some killers believed this, but some knew that if they tied the wounded man’s leg with a belt, the wounded man would probably not die.

Zhang San just didn’t want to waste manpower saving someone.

Zhang San said in the communication channel: “Boss, I know why they chose this place. The entire Weiyang Lake Park only has two commanding heights, one is the Ferris wheel, and the other is the tower crane-style bungee jumping point on the lake. The rest of the places all have open and unobstructed views…This is the best sniper position, a place where a sniper can control everything.”

Only one person, one shot.

Qing Chen could suppress everyone from the highest point, suppressing the entire battlefield!

This is the terror of a sniper.

This is also the meaning of Qing Chen choosing this battlefield!

“Interesting,” Huan Yu chuckled softly: “I said, why would Daybreak’s boss choose this place, but I’m curious how he got the anti-materiel sniper rifle here.”

If he drove on the highway, it wouldn’t be in time, because it was a time carefully designed by Huan Yu.

If he took the high-speed train, how did the anti-materiel sniper rifle pass the security check?

Then there are only two explanations. The first is that this Daybreak boss should be able to store the sniper rifle in his body.

So, the sniper rifle is either a manifestation of supernatural ability, or it is a Forbidden Artifact!

The second is that Daybreak Boss arrived in Xian City long ago.

It wasn’t that Huan Yu chose Xian City as the main battlefield between the two organizations, but that Daybreak guessed that Xian City was Huan Yu’s base camp, so they pretended to let Qing Chen participate in the math competition.

Actually, Daybreak wanted to choose this place as the main battlefield, and had already chosen Weiyang Lake Park as the final battleground!

“Finally met an interesting opponent,” Huan Yu was excited: “You’re allowed to use the drone group, don’t worry about Qing Chen, tonight you must kill this Daybreak boss.”

During this conversation, a palm-sized bullet suddenly flew over, piercing a willow tree by the lake and the killer behind the willow tree.

People always underestimate the lethality of anti-materiel sniper rifles. They don’t have a clear understanding of it, only death will teach them a lesson: hiding behind a tree is useless.

Qing Chen was using the most penetrating tungsten core armor-piercing bullets.

Zhang San hid behind a rock in the woods, he silently looked at the bullet holes in the trees nearby and judged that the sniper was not on the Ferris wheel, but on the tower crane-style bungee jumping point opposite the Ferris wheel.

“Open the boxes of Boundary drones,” Zhang San said coldly: “I’ll use the drones to cover you, and you all charge to the bungee jumping point.”

Speaking, Zhang San took out the holographic Neural Link glasses from one of the boxes. Twelve Boundary drones were simultaneously incorporated into his consciousness.

The next moment, Qing Chen saw in the ‘Conquer with Virtue’ optical sight that a swarm of drones were rising from the willow forest by the lake.

The familiar drones and airborne weapons made Qing Chen frown.

Boundary-011 Drone group. This was something Xiao Gong had used before…But Qing Chen didn’t have Li Shutong’s ability to shoot down swarms of drones with playing cards.

These are the Federation Army’s military drones, how did Huan Yu bring them here?!

It’s okay that he could bring the Inner World’s pistol back before, but how could he bring even drones back?

Qing Chen suddenly realized that Huan Yu probably had more than one Forbidden Artifact, or even a Forbidden Artifact that could carry items back from Inner World, such as box-type Forbidden Artifacts!

He felt his scalp tingle when he saw the swarm of drones.

At the same time, the moment the drones took off, nearly a hundred killers who were suppressed in the forest rushed out, scattering in different directions, trying to break through the open area under the cover of the drone swarm!

You must know that his sniping ability is indeed very high, but the military drones fly too fast, he must make a choice, whether to shoot down the drone swarm first or to stop the approaching crowd.

Qing Chen smiled, he had already made a decision, and pulled the trigger.

On the ground, a killer splattered a radiating bloodstain.

Pulling the trigger again, another killer’s chest was blown out a terrifying hole.

Zhang San’s drone swarm was rapidly approaching in the air. He was a little surprised. He originally thought that this Daybreak Boss would deal with the drones first, because the drone swarm could directly fly to the bungee jumping platform, and it was obviously a bigger threat.

But he didn’t expect that the other side decided to kill the ground crowd first.

Didn’t the other side fear the drone swarm?

At this time, the camera under the drone could even zoom in to see Qing Chen’s Face^[-]: “Boss, it’s a young man I’ve never seen before, his Face^[-] is unremarkable.”

“Kill him,” Huan Yu said calmly.

However, the moment the drone swarm approached within 400 meters of Qing Chen’s range, Zhang San saw through the Boundary-011 Drone’s perspective that Qing Chen had turned his gun around.

Zhang San was very sure that at the moment when the drone rangefinder showed exactly 400 meters, the other party turned his gun around.

He didn’t know if it was a coincidence or if the other party could accurately calculate the distance.

Zhang San suddenly saw through the Boundary drone’s perspective that the other party was smiling.

Why is he smiling?

Because 400 meters is the straight-line strike distance of ‘Conquer with Virtue’, within this range, Qing Chen didn’t even need to calculate the parabola.

He only needs to pull the trigger where the sight reaches!

Qing Chen always felt that something was missing tonight.

Tonight, he traveled more than ten kilometers, and with his own strength, he confronted nearly a hundred killers of Huan Yu. Such a grand night scene couldn’t be without fireworks.

The next moment, the Boundary drones that were making evasive maneuvers and quickly approaching, one by one, exploded in the air.

Before they entered his 100-meter shooting range, they were all shattered.

Zhang San suddenly took off his holographic glasses and stared at the bungee jumping platform: “Boss, we need to re-evaluate this sniper’s level. He used only six seconds to shoot down twelve drones, as if he didn’t need to think.”

Yes, he didn’t need to think, it was an absolute gun feel within 400 meters, like an innate hunting instinct.

Huan Yu was silent for a moment: “Then he has to die tonight.”

“But don’t worry, Boss, our people are about to break through the open area and enter the bungee jumping tower,” Zhang San said calmly: “He probably didn’t expect us to have so many people, so he chose such a place with no way out.”

The tower crane-style bungee jumping platform in Weiyang Lake Park is a lonely independent building, like a lonely tower crane on a construction site.

The bungee jumping platform is 70 meters above the ground, and below is Weiyang Lake.

Huan Yu laughed: “Falling into the water from 70 meters high, it’s definitely a fatal fall, at least it will cause broken bones.”

The next moment, more than ten of the leading killers had rushed into the bungee jumping tower. Some took the elevator, some took the stairs, and some simply climbed the external steel ladder.

They were like ants, besieging upwards, and Qing Chen on the bungee jumping tower suddenly muttered: “It feels like being besieged by Zombies.”

He still calmly pulled the trigger, taking out those killers who hadn’t approached the bungee jumping tower yet, without wasting a single bullet.

Zhang San hid in the dark and watched from afar: “Strange, why doesn’t he seem to be flustered at all.”

That’s right, Zhang San watched Qing Chen still calmly pulling the trigger, and he didn’t miss even once.

“Boss, there are others in the bungee jumping tower. Someone is blocking the elevator entrance, and the figure looks like Qing Chen,” someone said in the Bluetooth headset.

At this time, the killers who were taking the elevator up, as soon as the elevator opened, they saw a young man wearing a black mask waiting at the door.

Before they could react, the young man raised his arm and pulled the trigger of his pistol.

In an instant, he killed all the killers in the elevator.

Huan Yu listened to the muffled sound of the silenced pistol: “Sure enough, this is the person Daybreak Boss trusts most. He should have been guarding upstairs in the Xingshu Road Kailai Hotel last time.”

At this time, the killers who were taking the stairs also swarmed up.

‘Qing Chen’ dropped his empty pistol and drew a dagger from his waist.

But he didn’t retreat but advanced, holding a corpse, and rushed down the stairs, cutting at the most lethal parts!

“Why is this Qing Chen so fearless, trying to stop dozens of people alone?” Someone watched the young man who was rushing down the stairs in the communication channel.

He harvested lives with his brave and merciless blade skills.

However, after he artistically killed five or six people, gunshots suddenly rang out in the stairwell.

‘Qing Chen’ was shot in the abdomen.

“I hit him…cough, cough…”

The killer who shot ‘Qing Chen’, as he spoke, was pounced on by ‘Qing Chen’ and had his neck cut.

Blood flowed horizontally.

However, ‘Qing Chen’ also slowly fell down due to his gunshot wound.

Zhang San listened to the battle situation in the Bluetooth headset. When he heard ‘Qing Chen’ fall, he somehow felt relieved: “Don’t care about Qing Chen, go kill the sniper on the bungee jumping platform… Wait, why did he stand up, what is he doing?!”

Zhang San was shocked!

In his vision, the real Qing Chen had stopped shooting at some point.

He stood at the edge of the bungee jumping platform, quietly feeling the wind flowing around him.

Just now in the stairs, it was the killer he controlled on the way with Marionette.

He deliberately used the Bluetooth headset to say “They are dead”, actually to deceive Huan Yu.

Because one of them did not die, but became his puppet, used to create two identities.

Qing Chen himself, enjoyed the wind, enjoyed the cold, enjoyed everything this world brought him.

He closed his eyes and stood quietly.

The so-called Ultimate Trust is to believe that when you are fully prepared, fate will give you an answer.

Qing Chen had died again and again in that mysterious world.

From the initial fear to the final composure.

The so-called efforts in the world are probably like this.

However, when he really stood at the edge of the bungee jumping platform, thinking that if he failed this time, he might really die, he was still a little scared.

At this time, the wind stopped.

The snowflakes began to fall vertically.

If he were to jump, it would be now.

Qing Chen felt the cold temperature in the air, he still kept his eyes closed.

Right, what is Knight’s belief?

It is the courage to never regret.

Qing Chen looked at the killers who were about to rush onto the bungee jumping platform, and the shouts, opened his eyes and smiled.

He instantly activated the Reverse Breathing Technique, ice-like patterns blooming on his cheeks.

Thank you to this world, for its deprivations, and its gifts.

Forever Young!

Just before the killers rushed onto the bungee jumping platform, Qing Chen spread his arms and leaned back, falling towards Weiyang Lake!

But the young man in the night sky stretched his body, like a light bird, piercing the snowflakes in the vast night sky, flying down!

There was a splash, the sound of falling into water.

There was a click, the sound of the second Gene Lock opening in the water…
