Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1162: Chapter 682: Calm Before the Storm (Part 2)

Now, the sky was a grayish-white, about to break dawn, a sliver of pale light shone from the East, casting directly on the young man’s face.

Chen Luwen finally saw the young man’s appearance clearly… Qing Chen!

The new leader of the Spy Bureau, the next leader of the Knights, Qing Chen!

Chen Luwen, being one of Chen Clan’s representatives on the political stage, although not the most important one, could not possibly not know who Qing Chen was.

Moreover, he was aware that not long ago, his own Supreme Emperor Chen Yu had teamed up with Deer Island to besiege this Qing Chen!

That battle has yet to be exposed, with Federation media only knowing that Li Bingxi unexpectedly perished, not knowing the reason why!

Being a congressman is the most glamorous profession in the Federation, they frequent high-class venues, shilling for the conglomerates. Female celebrities who can’t reach the real big shots of the consortium can only flock to them.

But such a ‘big shot’ is insignificant in front of the leader of Qing’s Spy Agency, a puppet is merely a puppet. If appearing at the same banquet, Chen Luwen wouldn’t even be worthy to speak to the current Qing Chen, only the true big shots of Chen Clan are qualified to converse with Qing Chen!

If Chen Luwen were to proactively approach Qing Chen at a banquet, it would be seen as not understanding the rules within the consortium.

Qing Chen is no longer the ordinary Time Traveler he once was, but a true big shot who can intimidate a large crowd just with his identity.

Furthermore, these identities are not just empty titles; he has fought to earn them with his life.

Chen Luwen just couldn’t fathom why such a big shot from the Spy Bureau would come to a place like this to save a group of refugees.

Don’t the big shots of the consortium value human lives as more insignificant than grass?!

Qing Chen, of course, didn’t care about any rules. He merely wanted Chen Luwen to understand that a puppet of Chen Clan was not qualified to negotiate with him.

He also wouldn’t make any deals with anyone from Chen Clan.

“Get back to the crowd,” Qing Chen sneered and said, “You should be grateful I didn’t kill you directly. I’m sparing you for now; when we reach a safe place, I’ll find you.”

Chen Luwen’s face was deathly pale. Two female celebrities whispered, “What happened, did he refuse the deal?”

Chen Luwen whispered back, “Shut up!”

At this moment, the refugees also noticed Chen Luwen’s odd behavior. They were curious about the identity of this young man who could render a congressman speechless and retreat in panic.

Thus, the refugees also got a clear look at Qing Chen’s appearance.

Wasn’t this the fierce figure from Qing’s Family who fought his way out of Base A02?!

But unlike Chen Luwen, the refugees’ reaction upon seeing Qing Chen was… relief!

This fierce figure who managed to survive with over nine hundred people in a place like Base A02 could naturally ensure their survival now!

Qing Chen calmly said, “Keep moving forward; after exercising for a long period, do not rest for more than five minutes, and definitely do not sit on the ground, or else you won’t be able to run later.”

With that, the group continued to move forward.

The sky gradually turned grayish-white. Qing Chen led the refugees, stopping occasionally. It took them four hours to finally reach the border between the Fourth District and the Sixth District.

As long as they crossed the over thirty kilometers of the Sixth District, they could reach the lower districts.

Along the way, Qing Chen also led three puppets to fight off small swarms of rats. The rat packs were scattered throughout the city. It was impossible to avoid all of them.

Moreover, new refugees would occasionally come, drawing rat packs along with them.

Fortunately, Qing Chen remained relatively low-key, not attracting the Rat King’s attention.

The number of refugees gradually reached six hundred.

They quietly waited behind Qing Chen. The refugees would inform new arrivals: you must follow orders; it’s the only way we’ve survived. This is Qing Chen… yes, the one who fought his way out of Base A02 and kidnapped Jindai Yasuhito.

Now, Base A02 and Jindai Yasuhito have become the backdrop for Qing Chen’s reputation, forever nailed to the pillar of shame.

Qing Chen raised his right arm.

Without needing further explanation, the marching group of over six hundred came to a halt along the long street.

Qing Chen listened calmly.

They had already reached the Sixth District, but the efficiency of the rat swarm’s consumption was not as fast as Qing Chen had imagined. He could still hear the sounds of rats gnawing on flesh and bone inside certain buildings.

However, Qing Chen’s strategy was not wrong. The number of rat swarms in the Sixth District was much lower than in the Fourth District.

He planned to find an unoccupied building for the refugees to rest for a while. They had been moving for over six hours, and the refugees needed rest to regain some strength to continue moving forward.

In addition, he speculated that with a little more rest time, the number of rat swarms in the Sixth District would further decrease.

Finding a place to lay low was their best option at the moment.

Just then, a rumbling sound suddenly came from behind them.

Everyone looked over in surprise, only to find Chen Luwen already sitting in a roadside off-road vehicle, with a bodyguard starting the diesel engine under the hood.

It was a vehicle from a Wilderness Hunter, designed to improve survival capabilities in the wild. This type of off-road vehicle minimized electronic equipment to reduce failure rates.

Additionally, the engine could even be started manually to prevent being unable to ignite after battery depletion.

It was unclear what kind of luck Chen Luwen had, finding such a car by chance on the roadside.

The congressman sat in the back of the vehicle, observing Qing Chen’s expression, instructing his bodyguard, “Hurry up, get in the car, and quickly leave here!”
