Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1034: 638, Faceless Army 3

It was clearly a gun, yet it was used like a hand cannon right before their eyes!

The exoskeleton armor on the soldiers shattered into pieces amidst the battle.

At this moment, the airship above the firmament suddenly turned around, and the soldiers originally scattered across the wilderness began approaching Qing Chen and the others in an orderly manner like a swarm of bees.

Qing Chen had just finished off the first squad when the second and third squads appeared.

Zard was moving underground, continuously providing cover for Qing Chen with moving sand walls while personally dragging soldiers into the ground. The little sapling on top of his head roamed around the mountains and occasionally had to dodge rocks beneath the soil.

The gathering soldiers became more numerous, as if the whole world was their enemy. At one moment, Qing Chen looked at the big tree not far away and almost thought it was an enemy too.

He had no idea where the enemy would emerge from next, relying solely on the sand wall for shelter while persistently shooting.

This was entirely a game that tested their reaction speed; even the slightest delay was unacceptable.

Given their efficiency in killing, Qing Chen and the others were already remarkably effective.

Qing Chen, Yangyang, and Zard were like a meat grinder on the battlefield, making corpses lay everywhere and rivers of blood flow on the mountain, but there were simply too many enemies.

Qing Chen’s mood slowly sank, as not far away, Zhang Mengchan suddenly crawled out from the sand wall. He moved quickly while lying down, unafraid of the cuts on his body from the stones on the ground.

The young boy crawled to the side of a Chen Clan soldier’s corpse, grabbed three automatic rifles, and crawled back.

Behind the sand wall, Tuan Zi saw the wounds on him and shouted, "Don’t you want to live?"

As Zhang Mengchan inspected the magazines, he calmly looked up at Tuan Zi, tossing the checked guns to Sun Chu Ci: "The boss and the others are short-handed. If you want to live, fight with us."

Tuan Zi was stunned for a moment. Just then, when Zhang Mengchan looked up at her, he seemed as fierce and ruthless as a wolf cub, yet also calm.

She had seen this expression before, back when Qing Chen stepped out of the BBQ shop in City No. 10.

For some reason, Tuan Zi just felt that this child resembled Qing Chen too much. He was clearly just an ordinary person, yet in such a crisis, he could suddenly exude an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Such people are natural killers.

Without such potential, Zhang Mengchan, a child, could not have survived alone in District 3 of City No. 22.

Sun Chu Ci quickly checked a firearm and said to Qing Chen, "11 o’clock direction is mine."

As he spoke, a soldier had just poked his head out in the 11 o’clock direction and was immediately shot dead with a single shot.

Seeing this, Qing Chen suddenly said, "Zard, move the sand wall south, and let’s fight our way out! Keep an eye on the south; no matter how many people come, bury them for me!"

"Got it," Zard replied with a cheerful smile, seemingly without any pressure.

The team started moving, with everyone shooting while advancing south under the cover of the sand wall.

But just then, Qing Chen suddenly saw another troop appear to the west...

This troop was completely different from the others, dressed in black combat uniforms distinct from the other soldiers, without wearing exoskeleton armor, and each face was marked with hideous scars.

Those scars appeared to be the traces of fights with ferocious tigers and other beasts.

The most crucial point was that these people’s speed was incredibly fast.

Even with two of them carrying half-person-high black boxes, they moved through the mountains effortlessly.

Qing Chen’s heart sank: "Enemies appeared in the west, 41 in number, seemingly each above B-Class, not a Shadow Troop!"

Zard shouted, "Damn, the Faceless Army! What are those boxes in their hands, are they specifically to counter my Earth Element abilities?!"

Qing Chen had heard of the Faceless Army, a notorious mercenary group once within the Federation. But in his impression, the Faceless Army’s overall strength should have been C-Class. How did they all become B-Class now?

Is it because they are trying to engage in an arms race with the Shadow Troop? But where did they get the Genetic Potion from?

Jindai, Chen Clan, Deer Island, Qing’s Family, who provided this Genetic Potion?

Qing Chen took a deep breath, glanced at the still unconscious Shadow, and continued shooting at the incoming soldiers while saying to Yangyang, "You go first... take Xiao Mengqiu with you, so you can maintain high-speed flight. The Shadow can’t die now, I’m counting on you. Right now, they want to kill me more, so just ascend high and fly south... We’ll attract their fire here and find a way."

Yangyang frowned. She wasn’t a indecisive person, but she knew that Qing Chen and Zard staying behind meant certain death.

She glanced down at the Shadow, Big Brother, you’re in a real mess!

But just then, as Qing Chen aimed the Black Sniper at the Faceless Army, he saw those 41 Faceless men suddenly unleash a ruthless assault on the Chen Clan soldiers.

This turn of events stunned everyone.

Qing Chen thought they were enemies, even the Chen Clan soldiers thought these were reinforcements from their own side, but as the Faceless men charged in, it was as if they were entering uninhabited territory.

In just moments, the 41 Faceless men, working in perfect harmony, pierced fiercely into the heart of the Chen’s Army like a black dagger.

They rapidly advanced towards Qing Chen’s direction, turning any soldiers blocking the Faceless Army’s path into sprays of blood mist.

These Faceless men, with extremely robust physicality, rampaged through the mountains like they were walking on flat ground, each one like a superhuman.

Qing Chen only needed to observe for a moment to see that at least 11 out of these 41 people had an absolute feel for a gun within 200 meters.

In these mountains, where heavy mobile troops couldn’t enter, this type of super mobile troops became an unbeatable force.

The Faceless Army rapidly reached 200 meters from Qing Chen and stopped. The captain coldly said, "Tell Mr. Shadow we are people of Qing Kun, he sent us. You move south, but be cautious as there are still several blockade lines there. Leave the north to us, as long as we’re alive, the Qing’s Family’s Reconnaissance Camp and airships can’t pass. Also, Qing Yi wants you to visit him when you get a chance."

With that, the Faceless Army began constructing a defensive line on the spot, each seeking a hidden position, acting as if Qing Chen and his team were not even there.

Two more out of the Faceless Army opened two large black boxes, revealing what seemed to be two strange signal transmission devices inside.

Could they be laser emitters?

Qing Chen watched in a daze as the Faceless Army continued their operations as if they were completely alone.

Was the notorious Faceless Army secretly raised by Qing Kun?

Qing Kun, Qing Yi’s father.

Qing Chen chuckled and said to Zard, "Let’s go; we don’t need to worry about threats from behind anymore, let’s break through to the south!"
