Nomenclature of Night

   Chapter 683 Disaster Beginning

"All come close! Adult men surround the elderly, children, and women. Everyone is looking for something nearby to beat the mice. Don't let the group of mice get close to the crowd!" Qingchen shouted: "Those who are still in the room, come out quickly. Join us, we must leave!"

   He used the marionette as a knife and shuttled through the long street like a shadow. All the mice that tried to get close were slashed in two by the sharp marionette.

   With Qingchen's speed, he actually kept the crowd airtight, but he didn't try to use the power of thunder again and kept it as a hole card.

  Because he doesn't know if there is a regular army ambush in the city, if there is, Wu Mo is his real trump card against hot weapons.

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

   Cut the skin and muscles, cut off the bones and fascia, and the mice disappeared in an instant.

   At this time, Qingchen was surprised to find that the marionette was actually actively sacrificing the corpses of those rats. After a long time with him, the taboos that were originally taboos began to eat everything!

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

   After the first battle in No. 002 Forbidden Land, the fourth silk thread of the marionette was formed immediately, with only a small difference.

  Qingchen suddenly wondered, if the rats in the city were sacrificed, would the marionette grow nine silk threads directly?

   However, Qingchen is too late to pay attention to his harvest now.

   There are more than 300 refugees on Long Street in District 4 still alive.

  The elderly, women, men, children.

   Boxers, gamblers, spectators, vendors, waiters.

  There are all kinds of people, Qingchen wants them to shrink together and hug tightly to protect the elderly and the weak.

   At this time, the rats are still raging in various bars, residential buildings, and boxing gyms, which are the places with the most humans.

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

  Qingchen defines the reproduction number of the mouse colony as three stages.

When he was on the whale island, he once said to the time walkers: "The rats before the return belonged to the first stage. They had just swallowed the body of Qianchi, and they were in the early stage of reproduction. At this time, they did not dare to go up openly. Attacking human beings in the street can only slowly erode the boundaries of human beings 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 start to attack various urban areas in an organized and disciplined manner. They will try to drive people to the streets and run away, or will It is possible for people to be driven into the building and become turtles in urns. Remember, at this time, the number of rats is not enough to cover the whole city, or even only one-third. The purpose of their attack on humans is to eat. In the second stage, we must unite to kill and run, and only when we reach the lower three districts can we be temporarily safe.”

"Then comes the third stage. At that time, the rats have wiped out more than half of the human beings in the city, and their population has increased five or ten times. City No. 10 will become their territory. At this time, we will not only stick to the lower three districts There is no choice but to wait for rescue."

   In Qingchen's view, now is only the second stage, as long as everyone unites a little, there is still a chance to live.

   But it backfired.

When the formation was shrinking, several strong boxers squeezed towards the center of the crowd. Once a mouse swooped on them, they would block the people around them as shields, and even push the woman out to attract the mouse's attention. .

   A boxer was tall and burly. He easily lifted an old man in his hands and used the old man as his shield.

   Several strong boxers ran for their lives to protect themselves, and shouted to Qingchen: "Run, don't stop here! Don't wait for the people in the bar!"

   Qingchen's face became colder. He saved people because he arranged for countless people to die in his plan.

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

  Those people are dying one after another. Thinking of all this, Qingchen can't continue to be selfish.

   Otherwise, what he said to iodophor, Luo Wanya, and Xiaosan at the beginning would have become hypocritical jokes.

  Qingchen wants to be a good guy, but that doesn't mean he's a bad guy.

   He pulled a man who was described as dry and looked like a gambler and asked, "Do you know these three fighters, and have you ever bet against them?"

  The gambler nodded: "I know them, they are all land cruise-level boxers, and these three grandchildren like to fight fake matches..."

   "What's your name?" Qingchen roared.

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

  The marionette's conditions are harsh. If it is a frontal battlefield, he has no chance to ask the soldier's name, so the marionette can only be used as a knife.

   And these three famous boxers are the puppets that Qingchen needs most!

   The next moment, Qingchen had already pushed through the crowd and came to the three fighters.

   The boxer realized that something was wrong and wanted to punch Qingchen, but all he saw was Qingchen's icy expression.

   Seeing that the boy just turned his head slightly, he easily avoided the waving fist.

   Land cruise class?

   That's all the rest of Qingchen's game. I don't know how long ago, he was the land cruise class boxing champion in the 18th city.

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

  In an instant, the transparent silk thread in Qingchen's hand suddenly separated and wrapped around the wrists of the three fighters very skillfully.

   The marionette was excited.

  The end of each silk thread opened its mouth like a small snake, and plunged into the veins of the wrists of the three boxers.

   For the past few months, it has been used by Qingchen as a knife.

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

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

  It's not easy!

   This guy finally remembers his original function as a taboo!

   The crowd was in a panic, and no one noticed what Qing Chen had done. Immediately after, the three boxers volunteered to kill the crowd, patrolling around the crowd and protecting everyone.

  The group of mice surrounded them, but these three people were not afraid of danger. While shouting everyone not to be afraid, they fought separately at a very fast speed, but they were actually blocked by the group of mice.

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

   It is not that you suddenly become brave, but that you become really powerful.

  The power exertion is in line with a certain law and rhythm, and the breathing rate and the movement burst are perfectly coordinated, even the layman finds it pleasing to the eye.

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

   But what the gambler didn't know was that the three boxers suddenly became more powerful, not because they were so powerful, but because Qingchen was controlling them with one mind and four uses.

   At this moment, a mouse jumped up and wanted to jump into the crowd across the three, 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 in the next second, the mouse's body turned to ashes in the air.

   sacrificed.

   There were a few more mice swooping, but in the night, it seemed that someone used a knife to draw a life-threatening net, with Qingchen as the axis and three boxers as the fulcrum, firmly protecting the refugees.

   All of this happened in the dark, Qingchen was like a chess player, holding three pieces with one heart and one mind.

  The multitasking technique of practicing the two-handed Rubik's cube for a long time has finally come in handy.

Qingchen shouted: "Don't panic, just like us, take the initiative to defend against the rats, they are just a little faster, not so scary! All adult men stand up for me, if I see who is hiding in the child After the old man, kill him immediately!"

   At this time, City No. 10 was dark and frightening. When the refugees heard Qingchen's words, it was like 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.

   Qingchen 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 move many meters.

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

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

  Four bodyguards guarded these people and looked in a hurry. They lit the light with candles and helped their employers guide the way.

   When the refugees saw the two women through the light, they shouted in amazement: "Wang Wenwen, Zhou Jieyi!"

  Wang Wenwen and Zhou Jieyi are both well-known female stars in the Federation, and they are considered top actresses in the Federation's film and television industry. No one expected to bump into the two female stars at this time and escape with everyone.

   Qingchen actually knew the middle-aged man next to the two female stars, Chen Luwen, a member of Congress in the 13th city constituency!

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

   In front of the TV camera, Chen Luwen once said impassively that the federal employment rate will immediately increase, and the people's life will be happier.

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

   Qingchen didn’t need to look to know that there must be a rat wave in the private club.

  In order to prevent rodents and cockroaches in the private clubs of the Federation, the sewers are specially treated with trans floor drains, and rats generally cannot climb up.

   But they underestimated the tyranny and wisdom of the rat group. The rat actually opened the sealed floor drain and captured this private club.

  Qingchen glanced at the four bodyguards, who should be wearing firearms, so Qingchen shouted: "The bodyguards come to help, let's kill them together!"

   The four bodyguards just moved, but Chen Luwen said sternly: "Who are you bodyguards? Stay with me, and don't go anywhere."

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

  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 respond, and they should be there soon!"

   When the power was cut off, Chen Luwen did not panic, but as a congressman, he immediately sent people to look for the garrison.

  There are officers in that unit that Mr. Chen inserted, so it is impossible to let him, a congressman, have an accident.

   Qingchen's face was getting colder, but the arrival of the garrison was good news.

   50,000 garrison troops are stationed in the city, and if a member of Congress sends someone to ask for help, the other party will definitely send troops to come and respond.

   Just because the councilors are the protagonists of this politically central city.

   "Boss, I have come up with a way to prevent the rat wave!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

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

  The little boy has discovered that the human neck aorta is the priority target of all mice, and only in this way can the resistance of humans 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 person has a high probability of surviving.

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

  Qingchen controlled the puppet to block the tide of mice, and said, "Well done, everyone present immediately takes off their coats and wraps their necks, don't give the mice a chance to kill you!"

  The refugees did the same in a panic.

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

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

  The mouse wanted to bite through the clothes, but the denim jacket was so strong that it couldn't bite through the layers of clothes after several bites.

   Exasperated, it could only bite into the young man's ear and bite down a piece of flesh!

   Refugees in the crowd saw this scene, and everyone shouted while helping to beat the mouse: "It works, this method really works!"

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

   While speaking, there was the roar of the vehicle's engine in the distance, and I saw more than a dozen diesel off-road vehicles speeding over. Dozens of soldiers of the garrison in the vehicles were carrying automatic rifles and wildly 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 shoot 600 bullets in one minute.

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

   After saying that, everyone rushed towards the garrison.

   Ke Qingchen had a bad thought in his heart. These garrison troops didn't seem to know what was going on in BC City at all. They didn't even realize that this rat disaster was not short-lived at all, but a real disaster.

   At a time like this, more than a dozen off-road vehicles are useless at all. Although shooting a group of mice with machine guns can kill many mice, this behavior is too high-profile.

   Qingchen knew very well that although the garrison troops in the 10th city were well-equipped, they were not allowed to participate in actual combat and exercises under the intentional control of the consortium.

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

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

   Therefore, more often, this garrison is more like a delicate decoration in the political center, and has no real 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 bring more than 300 people to the garrison camp. These people only see the congressman.

  The garrison is not here to rescue the refugees, they will kill all the refugees who want to be rescued!

   Moreover, the direction of the garrison troops is exactly opposite to the lower three districts.

   Qingchen couldn't go to the garrison camp with them either, he had to go to join the parent-teacher association and fight with his family!

   At this time, Qingchen shouted loudly: "Don't go over! Don't go over, the garrison will not take you with you, dangerous! They are not here to save our group!"

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

  As a last resort, Qingchen manipulated three puppets to start punching the refugees: "Return them all to me, 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's go over, do you want to kill us?"

   Everyone gave Qingchen and the three boxers a terrified and puzzled look.

   But Qingchen didn't explain that much: "Don't go over, they can't save us at all with their strength!"

Chen Luwen was wrapped in the crowd, and when he saw that he couldn't get close to the garrison, he roared: "Are you crazy, do you know what you are doing?! Why don't you get out of the way! Bodyguard, shoot me Kill them!"

  The four bodyguards stretched out their hands to their ribs, but before they could react, Qingchen had already come to the bodyguards, and in the blink of an eye, everyone's firearms were surrendered.

Just when the four bodyguards were angry, they saw that at the crossroads where the garrison was located, a group of rats like a black tide suddenly appeared, and even the rat tide that besieged Qingchen and the others also left these more than 300 refugees and moved towards them. The garrison rushed.

  This garrison was too high-profile, and they didn't know how many mice they shot and killed along the way, and finally caught the attention of the Rat King.

  Qingchen looked around and saw no trace of the rat king, which showed that the opponent was fully capable of controlling the rat population from a distance.

   This is bad news. Human communication has been cut off, but the rat group has a more efficient communication ability. Is this the ability of the rat king after entering the supernatural realm?

  I saw a vast tidal wave of rats, who were not afraid of death and shot with heavy machine guns, rushing towards the garrison.

   surrounded the dozen or so off-road vehicles in an instant!

   The refugees who were scolding Qingchen just now were stunned, even if they were just ordinary people who had never participated in the battle, they knew that this garrison was over!

   The firearms roared, and the firearms held by the soldiers also carried 30 rounds of magazines, and the magazines of the heavy machine guns were only 1200 rounds.

   When the firepower was suppressed, it was very happy, but the rats were dozens or hundreds of times their ammunition, and they couldn't finish it.

  When the soldiers changed their magazines, the firepower stopped for a while and was completely submerged by the rat tide.

   Until this moment, the refugees finally stopped and stopped rushing in the direction of the garrison.

   They remembered what Qingchen had just said, and immediately forgot what Qingchen had done to them, showing gratitude.

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

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

  Female star Wang Wenwen pulled Chen Luwen's bodyguard: "Come on your back!"

   said, she jumped on the back of the bodyguard, and at this time she was even reluctant to take off her high heels!

   Another female star, Zhou Jieyi, was running, her high heels ran away at some point, and she stepped on the ground with her bare feet.

   Seeing Wang Wenwen's actions, she followed suit and leaned on the back of another bodyguard: "Carry me on your back and give you two million if you survive!"

   The disaster has just broken out, and the power and money in this world still play a role.

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

  Qingchen urged in a cold voice, "Shut your mouth and run silently, no one is allowed to make a loud noise, and no one is allowed to stop unless I say stop!"

   At this time, Chen Luwen stopped talking and could only run away with his head down and followed 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!"

   said, he led the refugees to turn left at the intersection.

"Turn right!"

   "Stop! Shut up!"

   Qingchen's figure stopped abruptly, and everyone didn't know why. The next moment, the dense footsteps of the rat tide as they marched in the next block.

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

   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 terrified that they even forgot to breathe.

"Keep going!"

The    team is in action again.

   Qingchen's goal is very clear. While the rats are still scattered for food, he will take the crowd back to the sixth district first.

  It borders Xiasan District. To reach Xiasan District, you only need to travel more than 30 kilometers through the sixth district.

   Moreover, the sixth district was one of the first administrative districts to have a rat wave, and he came from there.

  Since it was the first place to erupt, then the rat tide is likely to have wiped out the place.

   Rat tides without food will never stop in an empty area, they will invade other administrative areas in an organized and planned way.

  Then what was once the most dangerous place may now be the safest.

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

  Turn left, turn right, and stop moving forward. This command gradually became a subconscious command in the minds of the refugees.

  This is how humans are. When they are in a panic and helpless, once there is only one voice left in the team, no matter whether the voice is right or wrong, they will blindly follow.

  Qingchen calculated the distance, they still have more than 20 kilometers to reach the sixth district, and this journey will be the most difficult.

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

   He was stunned for a moment, then pulled his wife's arm, signaling her to look over too.

   There is no one in the dark gold shop, and there should be no mice. If there were, the boy who led the team should have warned it earlier.

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

   Just when Qingchen stopped to wait and avoid the rat tide this time, the middle-aged couple quietly escaped the crowd in the dark and ran to the gold shop.

   Just entered the gold shop, the man looked at it carefully, and after confirming that he didn't hear any abnormal noise, he urged, "Hurry up, load up the gold, and quickly follow the team when you're done!"

   They tried to open the counter, but the counter was locked.

  The couple found the key in the pocket of the teller's body on the ground, opened the counter and stuffed a string of gold necklaces into their pockets, until all the pockets were full.

   The two were excited and fearful, and the huge benefits had already overwhelmed their minds.

  House loan, car loan, everything has been settled, just relying on this gold, they can live a life in the upper class.

  The neck and wrist of the woman are already full of gold ornaments, and they look like rich and noble turtles.

  The contented man gradually regained his senses and said, "Okay, stop pretending, and hurry back to the team. If you have money, you have to spend your life."

  However, when the two quietly walked out of the gold shop, they found that the street outside had not only become empty.

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

   "What to do! Where have they gone?" The wife began to feel real fear.

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

   The two ran to the crossroads, but as soon as they got there, they heard a dense scratching sound.

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

   They ran back wildly, but couldn't get past the rat tide at all.

   The next moment, the black tide drowned the two together with the gold.

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

   Qingchen of course heard the movement of them leaving the team, but if the Bodhisattva did not pass the fool, he naturally did not pass.

   All he did was to be worthy of his conscience and to be worthy of the efforts of Kunlun and his family. If he returned to Whale Island after 6 days, someone asked, everyone is dying one after another, what is your commander doing?

  Qingchen didn’t want to disappoint those who asked the question at that time, nor did he want to disappoint those who never questioned his decision.
