Nomenclature of Night

  Chapter 338 Paoding Jieniu! (build)

  At the southern border of Los Angeles, Yu Cheng of Kyushu is leading a team to move quickly through the mountains.

  In winter, most of the vegetation in the north withers, like an old human with thinning hair.

   At this moment, Yu Cheng, who was at the front, suddenly knelt on the ground and raised his right fist.

   In just a split second, all the members of Kyushu behind him knelt down together, ready to shoot.

   Communication silenced.

  Yu Cheng has spotted the target and is slowly approaching them.

  He made a tactical gesture, indicating that the members behind him would outflank the two wings, and then he would rush forward in the center.

  The battle broke out suddenly.

  The sound of gunfire between the mountains and fields was like the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve, and the yellow shell casings kept falling on the ground.

  But Yu Cheng suddenly felt something was wrong.

   It's not that the enemy is too strong, but that the enemy is too weak.

  The target team only had 12 people in total, and the battle came to an end almost as soon as it started.

  Yu Cheng's gaze has been searching in the woods, waiting for the figure on the hillside to reappear.

  However, until the end of the battle, the opponent did not show up.

  The gunshots gradually stopped, and the woods also restored the tranquility and coldness of winter, and no longer boiled.

  The next moment, he looked to the woods on the left, and moved the muzzle of the gun directly to prepare to shoot.

  The black of the tree trunk complements the night, and the mountains at night are like a weird and dangerous maze. No one knows where the enemy will come out.

   "It's me," He Jinqiu's figure slowly walked out of the woods. The moonlight shone on his gray suit like a hazy veil.

   "Password," Yu Cheng didn't put down his gun.

  He Jinqiu smiled: "The mountains and rivers are safe."

  Yu Cheng finally dispelled his vigilance after hearing these four words: "Boss? Is there a problem with our intelligence? The enemy here is too weak, and it's not normal to be weak."

   "Of course it's not normal," He Jinqiu looked at the messy corpses not far away. These 12 time travelers didn't even pose any threat to Kyushu.

  Yu Cheng thought for a while and said: "Have you met the masters from Shendai and Kashima? Someone was watching our team on the hillside just now. I suspect their masters are lurking nearby."

  He Jinqiu smiled: "Don't worry, that's He Xiaoxiao, but he doesn't participate in the battle tonight, just doing some data evaluation."

   "I see," Yu Cheng nodded.

  He Xiaoxiao is very mysterious. Even in Kyushu, very few people have seen his true face. Everyone knows that there is such a "high player", but they have no chance to see him.

  However, since the master who put great pressure on Yu Cheng on the hillside was He Xiaoxiao, where did the masters of Shendai and Kashima go?

He Jinqiu looked at Shan Ye: "There is no problem with our intelligence. Kyushu and Kunlun both know that Time Traveler entered Los Angeles from two directions, one south and one north, so Boss Zheng and I drew lots to decide who would go to the north and who would come to the south. Now, There are only so few people in Jindai and Kashima in the south, which means that Kunlun will be very busy tonight."

   "Shall we help?" Yu Cheng asked.

   "No," He Jinqiu turned and walked towards the main road: "We have other things to do."

   "But if all the people from Shendai and Kashima enter Los Angeles from the north, will Kunlun be able to withstand it?" Yu Cheng asked curiously.

  He Jinqiu smiled and said: "Why are you all underestimating Kunlun? The old squad leader is someone I dare not provoke easily. Don't worry, the territory is Kunlun's home court, and Kashima and Kashima can't make trouble."

  …

  …

  The north of Luocheng is bounded by the Yellow River. If you want to cross the river and enter the boundary of Luocheng, there are only two bridges to go.

  If time travelers from the Age of God and Kashima pass on these two bridges, the result of waiting for them will only be to die on the bridge.

   But at this time, there were three ferries sailing on the black river, and they turned off the navigation lights on the ferries, like ghosts that have been rumored in the Yellow River for an unknown number of years.

  Mankind's water conservancy projects are great and vast. The turbid Yellow River flows from the far northwest, and finally the water and sand regulation is completed at the Xiaolangdi Water Conservancy Dam, and the turbid river water has become clear.

   Not so turbulent anymore.

  On the bow of the foremost ship, a person quietly looked at the shore, and then made a tactical gesture towards his rear.

  Two time travelers in diving suits jumped into the water on their backs. They held small underwater propellers in their hands. The turbines of the propellers rotated, stirring the water to create circles of bubbles.

   The two time travelers cautiously climbed ashore, took off their diving equipment, and traveled lightly.

  One of them made a quick tour of the mountains, and finally used a flashlight to send three long and one short signals to the river.

  The person at the bow saw the signal, turned back and said calmly, "Dock."

  The engine of the ferry roared again, and it drove quickly to the shore.

   But just as they were about to reach the shore, there was a roar from farther away.

  The distant roar intertwined with the roar of the ferry engine, instantly tearing apart the original loneliness on the river.

  The man at the bow jumped into the river with all his strength, and he was still roaring in the air: "RPG!"

  No one thought that Kunlun not only found the line of action of the Age of God and Kashima in this operation, but also used heavy firepower!

  Timewalkers are used to chasing and small-scale street fighting in the city. Before that, Kunlun used relatively soft methods, so that they gradually forgot that Kunlun still has heavy firepower in his hands.

  However, the reason why Kunlun has not used these in the city is that it is afraid of accidentally injuring innocent residents and fearing that public opinion will cause panic.

   Now in the mountains, they no longer have scruples.

  He Jinqiu once said that the territory is Kunlun’s home field, and the meaning of home field is not just as simple as being familiar with the environment, but also means that they can use weapons and equipment that others cannot use.

  The next second, the high-speed rotating RPG rocket collided with the hull of the ship, and a huge flame shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire river.

  The time travelers on the other two boats quickly jumped into the river and swam to the shore, so as not to be buried with the ferry when the rockets hit again.

   There were also people swimming in the opposite direction.

  The emergence of RPG means that their actions have been exposed, and swimming to the south bank at this time can only be a dead end.

  However, before they swam far, there was the sound of speedboats breaking waves on the river in the north, and bunches of searchlights came over, and more than a dozen speedboats approached quickly, aggressively.

  A middle-aged man with a rough beard and a stubble, standing in a speedboat and searching the lake with night vision binoculars: "At 11 o'clock, go find someone."

The speedboat drove up to a time traveler, and before the middle-aged man could speak, a young man in the river began to curse: "Ni Ergou, you bastard, why didn't you tell me in advance if you want to use RPG? You worked so hard to be an undercover agent, and you did it like this? If I hadn’t jumped so fast, I would have died on it.”

  Ni Ergou stretched out his hand to give the other party a hand, and said with a smile: "It's the boss's idea to use heavy firepower weapons. If you want to complain, you can complain to him."

  The drenched young man climbed onto the speedboat under the pull of Ni Ergou. He didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, I saw Pineapple swimming westward, go and fish him up too."

  Ni Ergou smiled and said: "Don't worry, someone has already gone there, you two have worked hard this month."

"It's not just hard work. The **** in the Age of Gods don't treat us as human beings at all. This time they are also used as cannon fodder." The young man took off his clothes and changed into the clothes Ni Ergou prepared for him on the speedboat. .

  The river water in winter is icy cold and penetrating. If you don’t change your clothes in time, you may get seriously ill.

  The young man is called Iodofu. This time Kunlun was able to grasp the trend of the Age of Gods because he and Pineapple successfully undercovered.

A month ago, Zheng Yuandong talked with the two and asked them to pretend to inadvertently expose their time traveler identities in the "Ichiran Izakaya" in the fifth district of the 16th city. The spies took it away.

   In Zheng Yuandong's words, don't think of all the enemies in this world as scary, as long as you guess his intentions, then you can control his fate.

  In Zheng Yuandong’s view, the reverse travel plan will appear on a large scale sooner or later, and consortiums are looking for exposed time travelers like an arms race.

  At this time, once an exposed time walker appears, the other party will want to arrest him immediately.

  So there is no need to go to great lengths to break into the opponent's interior. They only need someone to expose the identity of the Time Walker in front of the spies of the Age of Gods, and the opponent will naturally bring Kunlun's undercover agent in.

   During this month, Zheng Yuandong asked them not to listen to any information, not to make any resistance, and to cooperate with the brainwashing and coercion of the Age of Gods.

   It was not until the last crossing, when the Shendai family asked them to participate in this reverse time travel, that Zheng Yuandong said a word, and finally the wait came.

   Not far away, the pineapple was successfully fished onto the speedboat.

  All time travelers who fell into the water were almost wiped out. On the shore, Lu Yuan had already led people to blockade the entire area. No time traveler who came by ferry could escape in this search and arrest.

  However, at this moment, iodophor said: "Where's the boss? I have something to report to him."

   Ni Ergou took a headset from his ear and handed it to him: "The boss is on the communication channel, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly."

Iodophor took a breath and said: "Boss, we are divided into three action teams this time, and we came here on three ferries respectively. We were guarded too closely before, so we didn't report in time. Among the three ferries, there was no reverse action." The main characters in the crossing plan, they must have another route, a route that neither Pineapple nor I know, maybe they don’t know where to enter the territory of Los Angeles at this time.”

   Zheng Yuandong calmly said, "Well, I see."

   "Also," Iodo said: "Before the operation, we learned that there will be a master in Shendai and Kashima respectively participating in this plan, but they should not be on the ferry either."

   Ni Ergou was stunned when he heard this: "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

  However, Zheng Yuandong's calm voice came from the headset again: "It's okay, I've already found one of them."

   After finishing speaking, Zheng Yuandong hung up the communication.

  On the speedboat, Iodofu looked at Ni Ergou: "Have you found the address where I was detained in the other world?"

"I didn't find it," Ni Ergou shook his head and said, "You have to understand, after all, we are all time travelers, and our time in the other world is too short, and our ability is limited. But don't worry, our Kunlun is also developing rapidly. Soon, the intelligence capabilities can catch up."

Iodophor became anxious immediately: "Er Gouzi, why did you promise me before? If no one comes to rescue me after time travels back next time, wouldn't Pineapple and I be going to die? The mission failed, and those **** from the Age of Gods must Will kill us to silence, and then transfer."

Ni Ergou glanced at him and said, "Okay, just for fun, I have found the place where the two of you were detained in City 16. Before, it was difficult to do it because there were too many people there. This time, we will rescue you immediately when you go back." .”

  Iodophor suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't deliberately put on a secret about this kind of thing, okay, it scares me to death!"

  Ni Ergou is not happy anymore: "I am also your boss anyway, can you be more polite to me?!"

  Iodofu thought for a while and asked: "This time the matter is over, and Kashima and Kashima should not be able to make any more trouble in a short time, right?"

"I hope so."

  …

  …

  It was already late at night, and all the lights of thousands of houses were extinguished.

   Only dim street lights and narrow and deep paths remained.

   Zheng Yuandong blocked the way of one person.

  The middle-aged man on the opposite side asked: "Kunlun Zheng Yuandong? It's not easy to find me."

Zheng Yuandong walked slowly towards the other party, and curiously said as he walked: "I have investigated you, a month ago you were just a maintenance worker in the watch world, and a month later you began to work for the gods with all your heart, so, you Is it still yourself?"

  The middle-aged man smiled: "Does it matter who I am?"

"Let me guess," Zheng Yuandong said, "Someone once said that the Patriarch of the Age of Gods has always been that person. It was him six hundred years ago, and he is still him today. I spent a month investigating this matter, and finally found I read the notes written by the Patriarch of the Age of God six hundred years ago. The handwriting is indeed the same as today. It stands to reason that even practitioners in the entire world should not have such a long lifespan. I think that the Family of the Age of God has actually mastered The neuron connection technology between people can even be used to rewrite the brain, right?"

  The so-called neuron connection technology, which first appeared in Qing's, was used to control nano-robots.

  After being manipulated, those little guys can swim in the blood vessels to remove blood clots, non-invasive and painless.

  Later, each consortium made breakthroughs in connecting neuron technology, so this technology was widely used in various fields, such as controlling mechanical dogs and drones.

   Such as connecting mechanical limbs.

   Later, some people tried to reversely upload their own consciousness to the Internet by connecting neuron technology, so as to achieve the idea of ​​mechanical immortality.

   It’s just that this technology failed, because everyone found that no matter how uploaded, consciousness will be annihilated as soon as it appears on the Internet.

  Some people say that it is because the data flow of the network is too large, which will quickly assimilate the consciousness uploaded by human beings.

  Some people say it is because the technology is not mature enough.

   But no one has found the reason so far.

   Only a few people know that it is One's brother hunting down all human ideologies in the network.

  Later, when uploading consciousness didn't work, someone conducted a more cruel experiment: covering one person's consciousness with another person's consciousness.

  From that moment on, the body becomes an ephemeral shell, but the consciousness remains forever.

   This is a reverse time travel in disguise. Although the people in the other world cannot come, their consciousness can cover the time traveler and make themselves a time traveler.

   This is also the method Li Yunshou suggested to the Patriarch Li, but the old man himself felt that life would be meaningless if it was too long, so he refused.

  The old man believes that this is the dirtiest aspect of the development of human technological civilization to this day.

  The middle-aged man on the opposite side did not speak.

Zheng Yuandong said calmly: "Let me guess again, neuron connection technology covers other people's consciousness, which may have higher requirements for the 'covered'. We all know that the brain is the most fragile organ in the human body, so it needs a hard skull to protect. In the world, many hackers use their own brains as servers to carry out protocol intrusions, and their brains often shrink and become vegetative at the age of thirty or forty.”

Zheng Yuandong continued to speculate: "These hackers who have today and no tomorrow may not care about brain atrophy, but presumably the bigwigs of the consortium care, and the brains of ordinary people may only be able to carry one coverage, but they cannot carry out the next connection. .So, only B-level and above people can become qualified carriers, right? I checked a lot of information related to the Shendai family, and found that B-level masters suddenly disappeared every once in a while, and then reappeared after a year .”

  The middle-aged man laughed: "You can discover the secrets that so many people haven't discovered. Since you are so interested in the Age of Gods family, why don't you join us?"

  Zheng Yuandong shook his head: "The mountains and rivers are in different lands, and we cannot live together."

   "Then you can only keep this secret forever," the middle-aged man smiled and drew out a long knife.

   "The Kamashiro family's Qishe Yumian inheritance, a master of swordsmanship," Zheng Yuandong said, and actually pulled out a black sword from nothingness.

  This black knife is taboo.

  The middle-aged man asked curiously: "You don't even bring a gun, do you think your sword skills are better than mine? Even if your sword is a taboo, so what?"

   Zheng Yuandong replied: "Everyone is asleep, and using firearms can easily wake up many people and disturb the people."

   "A battle between masters, you are actually worried that the gunshots will wake up the residents?" The middle-aged man was a little stunned.

  The next moment, the middle-aged man's legs burst out with great strength, and he jumped over ten meters away.

  However, with his eyes closed, Zheng Yuandong slashed forward with his knife as if he saw everything.

  The two sides broke apart at the first touch, this time Zheng Yuandong took the initiative to meet him, the long knife in his hand was like a flying bird, extremely agile.

   There was a sound of tearing, and before the middle-aged man could react, the blade actually slashed across the gap between the muscles in his arm.

   There was another ripping sound, and the middle-aged man suffered from pain in his leg at the same time, and the blade once again slashed across the diaphragm between the 'rectus femoris' and 'vastus lateralis' of his thigh.

   This black knife was in Zheng Yuandong's hands, and it was as precise as a surgical scalpel, separating two muscles that should have been glued together.

  The middle-aged man's arms and thighs were bleeding profusely. He turned around and swung his knife to strike at Zheng Yuandong.

  But Zheng Yuandong's knife seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, and cut open the diaphragm between the biceps and triceps of the middle-aged man again.

   One knife after another, like a butcher cutting an ox, as if wanting to dismember a middle-aged man.

  Knife is art.

   Now the middle-aged man was a little scared. He didn't expect that he would meet a master of this level in the watch world. It has nothing to do with the level, but the difference in skill.

  Zheng Yuandong swung his sword, and commented casually: "The sword skills of the Age of Gods, no."

  The middle-aged man said fiercely: "But our plan will definitely succeed!"

   "Your plan doesn't work either."
