Nomenclature of Night

  Chapter 683 The Initial Disaster

"Come closer! Adult men surround the elderly, children, and women. Everyone finds something nearby to beat the rats. Don't let the rats get close to the crowd!" Qing Chen shouted: "People who are still in the house, come out quickly Join us and must leave!"

  Using a marionette as a knife, he shuttled across the long street like a shadow. All the mice that tried to approach were cut in two by the sharp marionette.

  With Qing Chen's speed, he managed to cover the crowd tightly, but he didn't try to use the power of thunder again, and kept it as his trump card.

  Because he doesn't know whether the Age of Gods is ambushing a regular army in this city, if so, Wuji is his real trump card in the face of hot weapons.

  The marionette was completely invisible in the dark night, as it passed across the mouse, Qing Chen only felt that the silk thread cut through the mouse without hindrance.

   Cut open the skin and muscles, cut off the bones and fascia, and the mouse was instantly wiped out.

  At this time, Qing Chen was surprised to find that the marionette at this time was actively offering sacrifices to the corpses of those rats.

  When the string puppet sacrificed to the rats, the thread grew very slowly, but Qingchen clearly noticed that its fourth thread was indeed growing.

  After the Battle of No. 002 Forbidden Land, the fourth silk thread of the marionette was formed immediately, with only a slight difference.

  Qing Chen suddenly wondered, if this city full of rats were sacrificed, would it be possible to directly make the marionette grow nine silk threads?

  However, Qing Chen has no time to pay attention to his harvest.

  There are probably more than 300 refugees on Chang Street in the fourth district still alive.

  Old man, woman, man, child.

   Boxers, gamblers, spectators, vendors, waiters.

   There are all kinds of people, and Qing Chen wants them to shrink together and hug tightly to protect the old, the weak, women and children.

   At this time, rats are still raging in various bars, residential buildings, and boxing gyms, where the most human beings are.

  So people on the street, as long as everyone is united, it is possible to leave alive.

  Qing Chen defined the number of reproduction of the rat colony as three stages.

When he was on Whale Island, he once said to the time travelers: "The rats before the return belong to the first stage. They have just swallowed the body of God Dai Chichi, and they are in the early stage of reproduction. At this time, they do not dare to go upright. The streets attack humans, and they can only slowly erode the boundaries of humans in dark corners."

"After crossing, we may face the second stage of the rat swarm. At that time, the rats will take to the streets and attack various urban areas in an organized and disciplined manner. They will try to drive people to the streets to flee desperately, or they will It is possible for people to drive people into the building and become a turtle in an urn. Remember, at this time, the number of rats is not enough to cover the whole city, or even cover a third of the city. Their purpose of attacking humans is to eat. If you encounter the first In the second stage, we must unite and run while killing, and only when we reach the lower third area can we be temporarily safe."

"Then it will be the third stage. At that time, the rat swarm has wiped out more than half of the humans in the city, and their population has multiplied by five or even ten times. City No. 10 will become their territory. At this time, in addition to defending the third district There is no choice but to wait for help."

  In Qing Chen’s view, it’s only the second stage now, as long as everyone is united, there is still a chance of survival.

  But things backfired.

When the formation shrinks, a few strong boxers actually squeeze into the center of the crowd. Once a mouse pounces on them, they will block the people around them as shields, and even push women to attract the attention of the mice. .

  A boxer was tall and burly, and he easily held an old man in his hands, using the old man as his own shield.

   While running for their lives to protect themselves, several strong boxers shouted to Qing Chen: "Run, don't stay here! Don't wait for the people in the bar!"

  Qing Chen's face turned cold. He saved people because he arranged countless people to die in his plan.

  More than 600 Kunlun members, 12,000 family members, all of them are risking their lives for his goal.

  Those people were dying one after another, thinking of all this, Qing Chen couldn't continue to be selfish.

   Otherwise, what he said to Iodofu, Luo Wanya, and Xiaosan back then would have become hypocritical jokes.

  Qing Chen wants to be a good person, but that doesn't mean he's a bad person.

  He grabbed a haggard man who looked like a gambler and asked, "Do you recognize these three boxers, and have you bet on them?"

   The gambler nodded: "I know them, they are all land cruiser boxers, and these three grandsons all like to fight counterfeit matches..."

   "What's the name," Qing Chen roared angrily.

   "Chen Chuan, Lu Chi, Wang Gan," the gambler was so frightened that he immediately said all the names he knew.

  The conditions for a marionette are harsh. If it was a frontal battlefield, he would never have the chance to ask the soldier's name, so the marionette can only be used as a knife.

   And these three boxers with names and surnames are exactly the puppets Qing Chen needs most!

  The next moment, Qing Chen had pushed through the crowd and came to the three fighters.

  The boxer realized something was wrong and wanted to punch Qing Chen, but all he saw was Qing Chen's cold expression.

   But seeing that the boy just turned his head slightly, he dodged the fist with ease.

  Land cruise class?

   Those are all leftovers from Qing Chen's play. I don't know how long ago, he was the land cruiser boxing champion in the 18th city.

  This title sounds bluffing, but it only corresponds to a D-level transcendent.

  In an instant, the transparent silk thread in Qing Chen's hand suddenly parted and wrapped around the wrists of the three boxers extremely cleverly.

  The marionette was excited.

  At the end of each silk thread, it opened its mouth like a little snake, and ruthlessly plunged into the wrist veins of the three fighters.

  In the past few months, it has been used as a knife by Qing Chen.

  Among the previous owners of the marionette, two of them separated out 18 silk threads, which is its peak state.

  Now, in order to remind Qing Chen of its original function, the marionette even eats mice!

  It's not easy!

   This guy finally remembered his original function as a taboo!

  The crowd was in a panic, and no one noticed what Qing Chen had done. Immediately afterwards, the three fighters volunteered to rush out of the crowd, patrolling around the crowd, protecting everyone.

  The swarm of rats surrounded them, but these three people were fearless in the face of danger. While calling everyone not to be afraid, they fought separately at a very fast speed, but they were blocked by the swarm of rats abruptly.

  The gambler who was questioned by Qing Chen just felt that the three boxers suddenly became more powerful...

   It's not that I suddenly became brave, but I became really powerful.

  The exertion of power fits a certain law and rhythm, and the breathing rate and the burst of movement are perfectly coordinated together, even laymen find it pleasing to the eye.

   The gambler thought to himself that you are so good, you were really playing fake games before!

  But what the gamblers didn't know was that the three fighters suddenly became more powerful, not because they were stronger themselves, but because Qing Chen was manipulating them with all his heart and mind.

  At this time, a mouse jumped up, trying to get past the three people and rush into the crowd, forcing the crowd to disperse.

  But when the mouse was flying in the air, it was cut in half by an unknown sharp weapon, and the next second, the mouse's body was reduced to ashes in the air.

   sacrificed.

   There were a few more mice flying around, but in the night, it seemed that someone had drawn a life-threatening net with a knife wire, with Qing Chen as the axis and three boxers as the fulcrum, firmly protecting the refugees in it.

  All of this happened in the dark, Qing Chen was like a chess player, holding three chess pieces and using them all with one mind.

  The skill of multitasking that I practiced hard for a long time with Rubik's Cube finally came in handy.

Qing Chen shouted: "Everyone, don't panic, take the initiative to defend against the rat swarm just like us, they are only a little faster, and they are not so scary! All grown men stand up for me, if I see who is hiding behind a child And behind the old man, kill him immediately!"

  At this time, City No. 10 was dark and fearful. When the refugees heard Qing Chen's words, they felt like they had been given a shot in the arm. Finally, more than a dozen men were willing to stand up and help kill rats together.

   Among them, 12 are young people, and only 2 are middle-aged.

  The remaining middle-aged men still chose to hide in the crowd and watch others fight.

  Qing Chen felt uneasy. There were more and more rats on the street. They worked so hard to kill them for a long time, but the crowd couldn't advance many meters.

   At this moment, someone rushed out in a panic and screaming from a private club facing the street.

   At the beginning, the waiter rushed out, followed by a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, and beside him were two women in gold sequined evening dresses and high heels.

  Four bodyguards guarded these people, looking hurried. They used candles to illuminate the light to help the employer guide the way.

  The refugees saw the two women through the light and shouted in surprise: "Wang Wenwen, Zhou Jieyi!"

  Wang Wenwen and Zhou Jieyi are both well-known female stars in the Federation. They are the first-line stars in the Federation's film and television industry. No one expected to run into these two female stars at this time to escape with everyone.

   Qing Chen actually knew the middle-aged man next to the two female stars, Chen Luwen, a congressman from the 13th city constituency!

  This congressman is an offshoot of the Chen family and one of the representatives of the Chen family in the federal political center. His speech was inspiring and provocative. An employment bill was just passed a few days ago.

   In front of the TV cameras, Chen Luwen once impassionedly stated that the federal employment rate will immediately increase, and the people's lives will be happy.

   Four bodyguards escorted the employer and the two ladies into the crowd, hiding carefully.

  Qing Chen didn't need to look to know that there must be a rat wave breaking out in the private club.

  In order to prevent rats and cockroaches in the private clubs of the Federation, the sewers are specially treated trans-type floor drains. Rats generally cannot climb up at all.

  But they underestimated the tyranny and wisdom of the rats. The rats broke open the sealed floor drain and captured the private club.

  Qing Chen took a look at the four bodyguards, who should be wearing guns, so Qing Chen shouted: "The bodyguards are here to help, let's fight out together!"

   The four bodyguards just moved, but Chen Luwen sternly said: "Whose bodyguards are you? Stay by my side and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

   Qing Chen frowned, and he shouted from the air: "If you don't come out to help, everyone will die. The best way for us now is to get out!"

  Chen Luwen sneered and said to the bodyguard: "Don't listen to him, you only need to protect the three of us. When the power was cut off, Li Ling had already gone to the garrison to pick him up. They should be here soon!"

  When the power was cut off, Chen Luwen didn't panic, but as a member of Congress, he immediately asked people to run to find the garrison.

  There are officers inserted by Mrs. Chen in that army, and it is impossible to let him, a congressman, have an accident.

  Qing Chen's complexion is getting colder, but the arrival of the garrison is good news.

  There are 50,000 garrison troops stationed in the city. If a member of Congress sends someone to ask for help, the other party will inevitably send troops to respond.

  Just because the congressmen are the protagonists of this political center city.

   "Boss, I have thought of a way to prevent the rat tide!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

   Qing Chen looked back and saw Zhang Mengqian in the crowd taking off his clothes, cutting the clothes into four pieces with the dagger he carried, and wrapping them around the necks of the four children.

  The little boy has discovered that the aorta in the human neck is the priority target of all mice, and only in this way can the human resistance ability be effectively relieved.

   Therefore, wrapping clothes around the neck is a good protection measure.

  Once the aorta of the neck is protected, even if the body is bitten by a mouse a few times, it will not die immediately. If it can be treated and vaccinated in time, the injured will have a high probability of surviving.

  Zhang Mengqian himself is only a 14-year-old child, but at this time he is taking care of others in a crisis.

  Qing Chen controlled the marionette to block the tide of rats, and said, "Well done, everyone present took off their coats and wrapped them around their necks immediately, don't give the rats a chance to bite you to death!"

  The refugees followed suit in a panic.

  A young man in charge of the periphery had just wrapped his coat around his neck when he saw a mouse get into the bottom of his feet through the leaked gap, pulling his clothes and climbing all the way up.

  However, when it climbed to the neck, it found that there was no place to mouth.

  The mouse wanted to bite through the clothes, but the denim clothes were too strong, and it couldn't bite through the layers of clothes after several bites.

   In desperation, it could only bite on the young man's ear, biting off a piece of meat!

  Refugees in the crowd saw this scene, and everyone slapped the mouse while shouting: "It works, this method is really effective!"

  As long as the rat can't kill a person at once, that person still has a chance to fight back!

  While speaking, there was the roar of vehicle engines in the distance, and more than a dozen diesel off-road vehicles were seen speeding up. Dozens of garrison soldiers on board were armed with automatic rifles and frantically shot at the rats they saw along the road.

  The rear row of the off-road vehicle is also equipped with a heavy machine gun, which can fire 600 rounds of ammunition in a minute.

  The residents saw the garrison in panic and helplessness, and their eyes all lit up: "Hurry up, the garrison is here to save us!"

   As they spoke, everyone rushed towards the garrison.

   Ke Qingchen secretly thought badly, these garrison troops didn't seem to understand what was happening in BC City at all, they didn't even realize that this rat plague was not short-lived at all, but a real disaster.

   At this time, more than a dozen off-road vehicles will not help at all. Although shooting rats with machine guns can kill many rats, this behavior is too high-profile.

  Qing Chen is very clear that although the garrison troops in the No. 10 city are well-equipped, they are not allowed to participate in actual combat or exercises under the intentional control of the consortium.

  Just because, once the sixth president, tried to use the No. 10 city garrison as his own armed force against the consortium.

  After the consortium suppressed this matter, how could it allow such a thing to happen again?

  So, more often than not, this garrison is more like an exquisite decoration in the political center, without real actual combat experience.

   Such an army can't stop the rat tide at all!

  The most important thing is that it is impossible for a high-profile army of dozens of people to lead more than 300 people to the garrison barracks. These people only have the congressman in their eyes. Once they pick up the congressman, they will evacuate immediately!

  The garrison is not here to rescue refugees, they will kill all refugees who want to ask for help!

   Moreover, the direction the garrison came from was just opposite to the lower three districts.

   It is also impossible for Qing Chen to go to the garrison camp with them, he must go to the parent meeting and fight with his family!

  At this time, Qing Chen shouted loudly: "Don't go there! Don't go there, the garrison won't take you with us, it's dangerous! They didn't come to rescue us!"

  However, with a boxer on one side and a federal garrison on the other, how would the refugees choose?

   Under desperation, Qing Chen manipulated three puppets and began to punch and beat the refugees: "Back them all, and no one is allowed to approach that garrison!"

  He stopped all the refugees by himself.

  In the crowd, a woman cried: "What are you doing, let us pass quickly, do you want to kill us?"

  Everyone cast terrified and puzzled looks at Qing Chen and the three fighters.

   But Qing Chen didn't explain that much: "Don't go there, their strength can't save us at all!"

Chen Luwen was surrounded by the crowd, seeing that he could not get close to the garrison, he shouted angrily: "Are you guys crazy, do you know what you are doing?! Get out of the way! Bodyguard, shoot me!" Kill them!"

  The four bodyguards stretched their hands to their ribs, but before they could react, Qing Chen had already arrived in front of the bodyguards, and handed over everyone's guns in the blink of an eye.

Just when the four bodyguards were angry, they saw a swarm of rats suddenly appearing like a black tide at the intersection where the garrison troops were. The garrison rushed forward.

   This garrison was too high-profile. They shot and killed many rats along the way, and finally attracted the attention of the rat king.

   Qingchen looked around, but he didn't see the mouse king, which showed that the other party was fully capable of controlling the rat swarm from a distance.

  This is bad news. Human communication has been cut off, but the rats have a more efficient communication ability. Is this the ability of the Mouse King after entering the extraordinary realm?

   I saw a vast wave of rats, unafraid of death, strafing with heavy machine guns, rushing towards the garrison.

   In an instant, the dozen or so off-road vehicles were surrounded!

  The refugees who were still yelling at Qing Chen were stunned. Even if they were ordinary people who had never participated in the battle, they knew that the garrison was about to end!

  The guns roared, and the guns held by the soldiers only carried thirty rounds of magazines, and the magazines of the heavy machine guns only had 1,200 rounds of bullets.

   It's fun to suppress the firepower, but the rats have dozens or hundreds of times the amount of ammunition they have, and they can't finish it.

   When the soldiers changed the magazines, the firepower stopped for a while and they were completely overwhelmed by the rat tide.

  Until this moment, the refugees finally stopped and stopped rushing towards the garrison.

  They remembered what Qing Chen said just now, and immediately forgot about Qing Chen's fight with them, and showed gratitude.

   Qing Chen shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't talk, take advantage of the rat tide to besiege the garrison, and follow me immediately!"

  He ran quickly, and more than 300 refugees ran wildly behind him.

  Female star Wang Wenwen pulled Chen Luwen's bodyguard: "You carry me!"

   As she spoke, she jumped onto the bodyguard's back. At this point, she was even reluctant to take off her high heels!

  Another female star, Zhou Jieyi, was running, her high heels slipped off at some point, and her bare feet stepped on the ground.

  Seeing Wang Wenwen's actions, she imitated and leaned on the back of another bodyguard: "Carry on my back, and I will give you two million if you survive!"

  The disaster just broke out, and the power and money in this world are still effective.

  But Qingchen knows that it won't take long for people's inherent worldview, values, and outlook on life to be overturned by the crisis between life and death.

  Qing Chen urged in a cold voice: "Shut up and run in silence, no one is allowed to make loud noises, and no one is allowed to stop unless I say stop!"

   At this time, Chen Luwen had stopped talking, and could only lower his head and run away with the team. He finally realized the seriousness of the problem!

  In the dark night, while observing the environment, Qing Chen tried his best to listen to the movements on the streets: "Turn left!"

   As he spoke, he led the refugees to turn left at the intersection.

"Turn right!"

   "Stop! Shut up!"

   Qing Chen's figure stopped abruptly, and no one knew why. The next moment, the dense footsteps of the Rat Tide marching sounded from the next block.

  The sound of the hard and sharp claws touching the ground made everyone shudder.

  Zhang Mengqian struggled to hold the four children in his arms, and covered their mouths with his arms to prevent them from making a sound.

  The refugees were so frightened that they even forgot to breathe.

"keep going!"

  The team moves again.

  Qing Chen's goal was very clear. While the rats were still scattered for food, he led the crowd back to the sixth district.

  It borders the Lower Third District. To reach the Lower Third District, you only need to travel more than 30 kilometers to pass through the Sixth District.

   Moreover, the sixth district was one of the first administrative districts where the rat wave broke out, and he came from there.

  Since it was the first place where the outbreak broke out, the rat wave may have wiped it out.

   Rat swarms without food will never stay in an empty area, they will invade other administrative areas in an organized and planned manner.

  Then, the place that used to be the most dangerous may now be the safest.

  At this time, the refugees also discovered a problem. The young man who led the way seemed to be able to predict the future, avoiding every march of rats.

  Turn left, turn right, stop moving forward, these orders gradually became the subconscious orders in the minds of the refugees.

  Human beings are like this. When panic and helplessness, once there is only one voice left in the team, no matter whether the voice is right or wrong, they will follow blindly.

   Qing Chen calculated the distance, and they still had more than 20 kilometers to reach the sixth district, and this journey would be the most difficult.

  While running, a middle-aged man suddenly saw an empty gold store on the street.

  He froze for a moment, pulled his wife's arm, and signaled her to look over too.

   There was no one in the dark gold store, and there should be no rats. If there were any, the boy leading the team should have reminded him long ago.

   Rats will be wiped out by the Federal Army sooner or later, but gold is not always available for free!

   Just as Qing Chen stopped to wait this time to avoid the rat wave, the middle-aged couple quietly left the crowd in the dark and ran to the gold shop.

  Just entering the gold shop, the man carefully looked at it, and after confirming that he didn't hear any abnormal noise, he urged: "Quick, quick, load the gold, and quickly follow the team after loading!"

  They tried to open the counters, but they were all locked.

  The couple found the key in the clothes pocket of the dead teller on the ground, opened the counter, and stuffed strings of gold necklaces into their own pockets until all the pockets were full.

  The two people were excited and scared, and the huge benefits had gone to their minds.

  Mortgage loan, car loan, everything has been settled, and they can live a high-society life with the gold alone.

  The woman's neck and wrist are already covered with gold ornaments, which looks like a rich and noble turtle.

  The satisfied man gradually regained his senses and said, "Okay, don't pretend anymore, and hurry back to the team. If you have money, you have to spend it with your life."

  However, when the two walked out of the gold shop quietly, they found that the street outside had become empty more than once.

  The team that was supposed to avoid the rat tide marching on the street has long since disappeared!

   "What to do! Where did they go?" The wife began to feel real fear.

   "Hurry up, run two steps forward and find them! You shouldn't have gone far!" the man said.

  The two ran towards the intersection, but as soon as they got there, they heard dense scratches.

   The husband and wife turned their heads slowly, and suddenly saw the rat tide rolling over like black water.

   They ran back, but they couldn't escape the rat tide.

  The next moment, the black tide submerged the two of them together with the gold.

  After just 10 seconds, the rat wave continued to move forward, revealing two white skeletons on the ground, as well as the gold ornaments on the wrists and necks of the skeletons.

  Of course Qing Chen heard the news of their leaving the team, but if the Bodhisattva doesn't get rid of fools, he naturally won't.

  All he did was to be ashamed of his heart and to be worthy of the efforts of Kunlun and his family. If he returned to Whale Island after 6 days, someone would ask, everyone is dying one after another, what are you, the commander, doing?

   Qing Chen didn't want to disappoint those who asked the question back then, nor did he want to disappoint those who never questioned his decision.
