Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 353: Creating an Opportunity

"Master, drive faster, they're about to catch up," Li Ke sat in the back, one hand gripping the back of the seat and the other holding the old man's sleeping bag.

As Qing Chen sped along in the Off-road Vehicle, the people inside felt like they were about to be thrown out.

Hu Xiaoniu, Li Ke, and the old man couldn't understand why Qing Chen had fired that shot when the army soldiers hadn't even planned to chase them.

Was he suspicious that their lives were too peaceful?

Fortunately, Qing Chen timed it well, and the Off-road Vehicle entered the Forbidden Zone before the army could catch up.

"Quick, quick, get out of the car," Qing Chen went to the trunk and took out two backpacks, hanging one on Hu Xiaoniu and one on Li Ke.

He then carried the old man on his back and ran into the depths of the Forbidden Zone as if his life depended on it.

The old man was dumbfounded on Qing Chen's back. The farewell trip, which was supposed to be peaceful and carefree, was turned into something so exciting by Qing Chen.

It was as if the farewell trip wouldn't be grand enough if they could reach Qingshan Cliff peacefully.

The old man asked, "Did you have to add this kind of event? Is it really necessary?"

Qing Chen said in a low voice, "You don't understand. This is a Knight tradition. That Qingshan Cliff is 600 meters high. You can't climb it without some motivation. We have to cut off their retreat."

"No," the old man sighed, "I feel like you're trying to cut off my path first."

Qing Chen realized, "You haven't been anxious before, so now your backup isn't following anymore, right?"

The old man: "...You're quick to react."

At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly noticed that the army chasing behind them was hesitating outside the Forbidden Zone and had no intention of entering.

After all, the army wasn't stupid. This obvious act of provocation was clearly intended to lure them into Forbidden Zone 002.

It would be foolish to fall for it.

Qing Chen stopped and looked back. So, the work Master did back then wasn't easy.

This wouldn't do.

Thinking of this, Qing Chen took out "Conquer with Virtue' again, shooting at the army vehicles one shot at a time.

These shots were like stirring up a hornet's nest, completely enraging the army, and they rushed in.

The old man, familiar with military affairs, thought it was over: "Kid, it's unrealistic to enrage regular army soldiers with just a few shots. They definitely didn't rush in because of those random shots. It's because their other troops must be nearby..."

As if to verify the old man's words, two signal flares slowly flew into the sky behind them.

The old man said, "Two signal flares, that means Level Two readiness. They're telling their teammates that they've found big fish."

Qing Chen thought for a moment, "The forest in the Forbidden Zone is so dense that even if they fire signal flares, their teammates may not see them."

However, the next moment, the signal flares emitted a sharp and strange sound.

The old man said, "Their companions in the Forbidden Zone must have sonar equipment. These are dual-purpose signal flares. Even if they can't see them, the sonar equipment can capture the signal. Satellite positioning is impossible in the Forbidden Zone. Once these two signal flares are fired, their companions will start gathering here."

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't you remind me of these things earlier?"

The old man said with grief and indignation, "Did you ask me? Besides, I had to wait for them to react to know what they were thinking! Qingshan Falcon is confused to welcome people like you home!"

"Look at you, that's going too far," Qing Chen said with a smile. He waved to Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu, turned around, and stepped onto another path.

"You're really not afraid at all," the old man sighed.

"Old Master, don't worry. The Knight has come home here. Even if a whole regiment of troops comes in, they will still Face^[-] certain death," Qing Chen observed the surrounding terrain. The familiar scenes reappeared in his mind.

At this time, the Old Master saw the young man gently squat down on Qing Chen's back and gently stroke the leaflets of a mimosa with the back of his index finger.

The mimosa curled up as if shy.

Yes, the Knight has come home.

...

...

As night fell, the students of Masonic Lodge stumbled into the depths of the Forbidden Zone.

Black Spade was better prepared than the previous Autumn Hunt Team, because the Forbidden Zone itself was one of the escape routes for Wildlanders after encountering the Federation army. Therefore, Wildlanders would leave themselves an alternative plan to enter the Forbidden Zone when doing anything.

When they escaped, Guo Huchan told the students to bring containers and then cross the edge of Forbidden Zone 002, heading southwest.

According to the plan, they would traverse along the edge of the Forbidden Zone.

Yang Yang suddenly said, "The army that has been following us seems to have withdrawn a group of people."

"What do you mean?" Guo Huchan asked curiously, "They've chased us for nearly two hundred miles. Now they're withdrawing just like that?"

"No, it's not a retreat," Yang Yang smiled, "Someone else has entered the Forbidden Zone, deliberately helping us to attract firepower."

Guo Huchan looked at Yang Yang: "Seeing you smiling so happily, could it be that young man who was with the old man before has come?"

Yang Yang thought for a moment: "Besides him, it seems there's no one else, right? After all, who would come to Forbidden Zone 002 for no reason?"

"By the way, you left for a moment in the middle of the journey. Did you go to find him?" Guo Huchan asked.

Yang Yang didn't tell the truth, because the old man's scheme to kill the Shendai experts should be confidential.

She said, "No, I was just bored in the convoy, so I went out to look at the scenery."

"Alright," Guo Huchan thought to himself, you can only fool fools with these words.

On the other side, two Federation armies had joined together.

From the moment they received the signal, the forward troops immediately returned and conducted a reverse search in a fan shape, because they knew very well that their comrades in the rear were chasing the target.

However, when they joined together, they found that the four people who should have been sandwiched between the two troops had disappeared at some point!

They had disappeared into thin air.

The major in charge of chasing Black Spade frowned and said, "How long ago was the last time we tracked them?"

The lieutenant who was originally responsible for guarding the periphery replied, "10 minutes, just 10 minutes ago."

The major noticed something was wrong: "If they only lost track of the other party within 10 minutes, then the mechanical hounds should have been able to track the other party's scent. Why is there no scent at all?"

He looked at the soldiers who controlled the hounds with Neural Links, and they shook their heads: "Sir, there are no clues."

Strange, there are no rivers here, and there are no strong winds. How did the other party hide their scent?

However, at this moment, a soldier suddenly said, "Sir, there are words engraved on this tree!"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked over and saw that the words engraved on the tree were hasty but large, as if they were afraid that they would not be seen: "We went west."

The soldiers were stunned. Is this the attitude of being chased? They even took the initiative to leave traces when the Federation army lost their trail.

After thinking, a operations staff officer said: "Could it be a trick, and they actually went east?"

Qing Chen would probably be angered to death by this operations staff officer if he were here.

The other party's thinking is indeed correct, but this must first be based on the situation where "the army is very strong' and the "being hunted' target flees for their lives, so they deliberately create misdirection.

But now, Qing Chen didn't put himself in that weak position at all.

The major thought for a moment and said: "This is not a trick, but to lure the enemy deep. The other party has set up traps in this Forbidden Zone and is waiting for us to be hooked. This should not be the same organization as Black Spade. If they belong to the same organization, Black Spade would not have to run so hard with his people."

"Then what do we do?" The lieutenant asked.

The major thought seriously: "Stop chasing these four people and continue chasing Black Spade according to the original plan!"

"Received."

The army continued to chase Black Spade to the south, seeing the inscribed directions many times along the way, but they ignored them...

...

...

Qing Chen leaned against a tree and waited for a long time, but the army didn't chase after him. The old man was already very weak, but he couldn't help but ridicule: "Did you screw up? You must have scared people and they don't dare to chase you."

Qing Chen sighed. Was it so difficult for him to find an opportunity?

No.

He had a new plan.

Qing Chen led Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke all the way to the hinterland of the Forbidden Zone.

It wasn't until late at night that he found the big willow tree at the junction of the hinterland and the edge again.

Qing Chen looked up at the big willow tree and said, "I brought new Knights to challenge the Trials of Life and Death."

The big willow tree didn't move.

Qing Chen said, "I said I brought new Knights to challenge the Trials of Life and Death, don't be so stingy."

Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke looked at each other, wondering what Master was saying to a big tree.

However, at the next moment, the big willow tree reluctantly took out two white fruits from the canopy with its branches and handed them to Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke.

Qing Chen pointed Hu Xiaoniu and the two of them towards the west: "Go all the way west, and you will see Qingshan Cliff. Go, there is a path to the sky."

"Master, aren't you going with us?" Li Ke asked.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "I will only accompany you on a part of the long journey, and I won't ask about the rest of the wind, snow, and sunshine."

Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke walked away confused.

However, before they could walk far, they heard heavy footsteps coming from behind, and a giant was approaching.

The two turned their heads in astonishment and found a giant several meters tall rushing over fiercely.

Li Ke sized him up a little and felt that the giant's soles were probably larger than the tires of the Off-road Vehicle, and his palms were like two doors, feeling like he could slap people to death.

"Run!" Li Ke's soul was almost gone. He had never seen this kind of situation before.

Qing Chen, this master, led them to the Forbidden Zone and only said on the way that everything would be fine and that there would be nothing wrong with him here, but this master never said that the Forbidden Zone was so terrifying!

What Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu didn't see was that the giant Ding Dong slowly stopped and showed a simple and honest smile.

Qing Chen stood beside him, looking up at the lovely giant, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Ding Dong."
