Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1119: Chapter 669: Bloodline Suppression

Countdown to Return 144:00:00.

Midnight 12:00.

“Li Hao, you guys come up quickly, the gang leader we were tracking was killed by a few rats, I saw it with my own eyes!” Li Chao said urgently over the phone, “Those rats look fierce, with blood-red eyes, but they should be afraid of people. They ran away when they saw me.”

As he spoke, Li Chao slowly peered into the room. The place was lavishly decorated, with the central air conditioning vent on the ceiling tattered, likely where the rats had entered the apartment.

Recalling the scene from earlier, he was quite certain that there was something wrong with those rats: “Are the rats still in the alley? Stay away from them, I have a bad feeling.”

“You’re joking, right? Rats killing a gang leader?” Li Hao responded on the phone, “No rat would have the guts for that. Stop joking around and come down already; let’s go to the bar for a drink.”

This Li Hao was the new friend they made after leaving Sun Chu Ci, a rich kid from the Outer World who lived comfortably in the Inner World by bartering gold bars for living supplies.

“I’m not joking, stay away from those rats,” Li Chao insisted. “I’m leaving here first, we’ll talk when we meet.”

“You’re too timid, it’s just rats,” Li Hao glanced at two rats in the alley, nonchalantly walking towards them and raising his leg to scare them away.

Then suddenly a mutation occurred.

Li Hao failed to kick the two rats, and they instead climbed up his leg.

Their goal was clear: they aimed to bite through his carotid artery!

“Damn!” Li Hao frantically slapped at his body, but couldn’t shake off the two rats. Only when several others rushed over to help did they manage to save him by swatting the rats onto the ground.

The group looked on in horror, seeing that the rats hadn’t fled but were instead staring at them all with a squeaking sound.

Just then, a voice came from outside the alley, “Xiao San, how does it feel to become a Golden Family Member?”

“Hehe, it’s exhilarating, I heard from the Black Family Member that the Parents allowed me to go to the island for training,” a voice boasted. “What an honor is that?”

“Whoa, really? The Parents invited you to the island? Xiao Qi and his group were the first batch, and you guys are the second?”

“That’s right, the second batch consists of 48 people,” Xiao San said cheerfully. “Even though I wasn’t selected in the first batch like Xiao Qi, just being able to go to the island is wonderful.”

“Isn’t that obvious? You get to be alongside the Parents!”

Looking at the city’s neon lights, Xiao San remarked, “The night in the Fourth District is lively, almost more vibrant than in City No.18.”

Someone laughed, “City No.18 is the Li Family’s private territory, while City No.10 hosts the permanent presence of various forces. The Federation’s House of Representatives and Senate are here, there are probably hundreds of administrative bodies, and you could randomly punch someone outside and possibly hit a senator. Plus, this is where you’ll find the most celebrities in the entire Federation; all the A-list and super A-list stars are here.”

“In City No.18, every night there are dozens of banquets happening simultaneously. The big shots indulge themselves carefree. If this place isn’t lively, then nowhere in the Federation is.”

Someone else said, “Xiao San, since you just got back from City No.22, the brothers pooled some money to bring you to the biggest venue in the Fourth District to broaden your horizons. Lao Luo mentioned in an internal email that you and Xiao Qi have done great work this time, and the Parents agreed to grant you the third level of the Breathing Technique.”

The Parents’ Meeting indeed has money now, but many places require spending. They have to stockpile medicinal herbs, weapons, and various supplies in case the corporations start targeting them, causing a massive shortage of resources.

So, everyone is still living on a tight budget.

At this time, Xiao Wu and others passed by the alley. When they noticed someone inside, they immediately went silent and casually walked past as if nothing had happened.

“Help…” Li Hao just opened his mouth when he saw those two little rats suddenly see something terrifying and turned to flee!

Without hesitation!

Li Hao and the others were stunned, the suddenness of the rats’ escape left them unable to react.

They didn’t know if it was because the rats feared the crowd or those who had just passed by.

In any case, it was odd; the previously ferocious rats suddenly became timid!

“What was with those two rats just now?” Li Hao asked.

“I don’t know, call Li Chao down quickly; something’s not right here!” a girl said, “The rats in City No.10 have mutated, we have to report this to the academy immediately!”

Li Hao picked up the phone on the ground, “Hey, Li Chao, come down quickly, we need to leave immediately, let’s talk back at the residence.”

But after waiting several seconds, he didn’t hear a response from Li Chao: “Hello? Li Chao, what’s wrong? Speak up!”

A horrifying atmosphere spread, there was no response from the other end of the phone.

Li Hao put it on speaker, and the group could hear an eerie sound.

It sounded like something was chewing on flesh, gnawing on bones…

Now and then, there was a wheezing sound from the phone, like someone gasping for air after having their trachea bitten.
