Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1030: 637. The whole world is an enemy

The storm is looming.

A strong wind swept in from the north, with pitch-black clouds already gathering in the sky.

Giant DongDong sat atop the cliff of the green mountain, still gazing into the distance beyond Taboo Land No. 002.

Behind him, he carefully guarded a fruit that loomed like a small hill.

A little monkey took advantage of DongDong’s turned back to quietly sneak towards the fruit, hoping to snatch a couple and run.

In the forest behind the cliff, countless little monkeys hung upside down from the trees, cautiously observing to see if their companion could succeed.

However, before the little monkey could get close, it was overshadowed by a massive shadow.

It looked up in shock to see the towering giant DongDong standing before it, scared out of its wits!

Yet DongDong didn’t make a move, only used his thick finger to tap the monkey’s head, then gently nudged it away.

“Ding Dong!”

(These are for my friend; you can’t eat them!)

The little monkey chattered noisily, seemingly a bit resentful.

“Ding Dong!”

(I know we’ve known each other longer, but I really like this friend.)

Just then, outside Taboo Land No. 002, floating airships passed across the sky, and DongDong could see countless troop carriers arriving.

Even multifunctional field battle cars were mobilized.

They blocked the road from the north to Taboo Land No. 002, intercepting any vehicles attempting to enter from the northern road.

Troop carriers unloaded countless soldiers, who, under the cover of dozens of war robots, swarmed like ants towards the northern mountains, attempting to seal the northern mountainous region.

Drones swarmed in the air like moths to a summer streetlamp, buzzing as they hovered and then flew out.

At an altitude of 8,000 meters, two enormous A-Class floating ships prowled the skies.

This was an entire field army brigade, typically deployed only during non-war times to clear out inhabited wilderness areas of over ten thousand people, with each deployment proving exorbitantly costly.

Yet now, they were being used extravagantly to intercept just a few individuals.

These scenes unfolded before DongDong’s eyes. He didn’t recognize who these people were, but at some moment, he wondered if it was related to the boy he was waiting for?

DongDong grew anxious, wondering if the boy was already on his way and how he could inform him?

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from beneath the towering tree in the distance.

Startled, DongDong quickly stood up and looked towards the tree.

Upon confirming what had happened, he immediately wrapped the hill-like fruit in a gigantic leaf, slinging it on his back, as he hopped and dashed towards the depths of Taboo Land.

The leaf came from that towering tree in the center of Taboo Land No. 002, unfolding to be as gigantic as DongDong himself.

In earlier years, the creatures in the Taboo Land used the fallen leaves to shield against the weather, but the tree rarely shed any, remaining lush and verdant throughout the year.

Later on, DongDong climbed the tall tree to pluck leaves, using them to make nests for the creatures in the center of the Taboo Land.

If there were a contest for the most popular creature in Taboo Land, it would undoubtedly be DongDong.

Until he promised to host a feast with fruits for Qing Chen in spring.

…

…

Return countdown 36:00:00.

On the wilderness, the pickup truck was still swaying southward.

Behind it were the swiftly rolling clouds, looming like a high wall chasing the pickup, appearing mighty and intimidating.

Shadow said from the truck bed, “In the north, an army group under Qing Wen’s father’s command has already been dispatched, and it seems that Qing Shi’s father is also on the move. If I’m correct, these elite troops of Qing’s Family will join forces with the southern Chen’s Army to enclose us tightly in the wilderness.”

“Do you already know who is taking action?” Qing Chen asked.

“We’ve found two principal offenders, and of course, there are also accomplices hiding in the shadows,” Shadow explained, “Currently leaping out are those most ambitious for the Shadow position. They can’t endure you serving another ten years as Shadow. After all, you’ve already shown the prowess, courage to break out from Base A02, and possess peerless prestige and supporters among the younger generation.”

Shadow continued, “I’ve suppressed them for ten years without touching their roots. But if you suppress them another decade, Qing’s would be all to our family. Hence, their desire to kill you is resolute as iron… even I am merely collateral. How about this, though these big shots are all in hiding, I could go and kill Qing Wen, Qing Shi, and Qing Xing, and they’d have no hope at all!”

Qing Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Can you stop joking at a time like this? Such wanton killing has no purpose.”

“Alright, you’re calling the shots now,” Shadow leaned back in the pickup truck and smiled, “What’s your plan now?”

Qing Chen calmly said, “Go to Taboo Land No. 002.”

Too many people wanted to kill him, and he had only one thing he must do, reach Taboo Land No. 002!

Qing Chen looked towards Shadow and asked, “With such a massive operation, aren’t they afraid you’ll open the Door of Shadow and run away?”

The Door of Shadow is indeed a wonderful tool, capable of attacking and retreating; one could leave anytime by opening it.

If not for the troublesome containment conditions of this Taboo, Qing Chen would have loved to own it.

Shadow smiled at Qing Chen and said, “They know I created this opportunity and also know that I am waiting for Chen Yu and Li Bingxi, so they want to gamble that their preparations are even more thorough than mine!”
