Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 365: Qing Chen’s Counterattack

The ferocious Wildlanders.

The anxious Time Travelers.

Qing Chen saw Sun Chuci’s hands trembling slightly; it was the result of adrenaline secretion.

This Wilderness Hunter must also be afraid. A college student who entered the Inner World for two months would inevitably feel fear when facing a real battle. Qing Chen did not look down on the other party because of this.

On the contrary, even though Sun Chuci was afraid, he did not make the wrong choice of blindly running away, nor did he show it, causing others to panic.

At this time, Sun Chuci calmly said to the others: “If we fight later, everyone will hide behind the car for cover and shoot. Set your firearms to single-shot mode, don’t use up all your bullets at once.”

It is such a group of Time Travelers who are even short of ammunition that can still survive in the wilderness, which made Qing Chen look at them with new eyes.

Sun Chuci turned to look at Qing Chen: “What should we do? Should we strike first?”

Qing Chen estimated the distance between them and the forest: 200 meters, which is exactly the effective shooting distance of an automatic rifle.

Before, he asked Sun Chuci to stop the car because he didn’t want to enter this distance, but Sun Chuci’s braking action was still slow.

He thought for a moment and said: “Get in the car, run! Increase the distance between us and them!”

After speaking, Qing Chen sat in the driver’s seat and started the car: “Get in the car quickly!”

The Time Travelers were all stunned. Run?

Just now, everyone was surprised that Qing Chen could immediately find that the weight of the firearm was wrong, and they felt that they might have met an expert. As a result, the next moment, Qing Chen’s choice was to get in the car and escape?

A group of Time Travelers facing the pursuit of Wildlanders in this wilderness. Escape is the most unwise and last resort choice, because the other party is the one most familiar with this place.

Sun Chuci hesitated for a moment, then finally shouted: “Get in the car! Listen to him!”

This was not a blind decision, but a judgment based on the information Qing Chen had shown before!

Since he believed that the other party was a firearms expert, he also had to believe in the other party’s ability to formulate tactics.

In the distance, the Wildlanders saw Sun Chuci and the others suddenly get in the car and immediately ran back.

Not only that, but the leader of the Wildlanders waved from the forest, and in a flash, six dilapidated Off-road Vehicles rushed out of the forest!

Sun Chuci and the others were shocked when they saw this scene. It turned out that there were still so many people hiding in the forest!

It’s impossible to say there aren’t any other malicious intentions!

Only at this moment did everyone finally believe Qing Chen’s judgment and understand that their captain, Sun Chuci, had once again made the right choice.

Tuanzi, in the pickup truck, sat in the passenger seat and silently looked at Qing Chen. She thought to herself that she had misjudged him.

Sun Chuci asked in the back seat: “Are we just going to run away?”

“No,” Qing Chen glanced at the fuel gauge: “The car will need to stop for refueling in at most fifty more kilometers, we can’t run too far. Sit tight.”

At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly slammed on the brakes and then jumped out of the car.

Sun Chuci was about to get out of the car to help, but he saw Qing Chen kick his half-opened car door, forcefully kicking him back into the car.

Qing Chen steadily held up his automatic rifle and calmly said: “Stay in the car.”

At this time, the distance between him and the Wildlanders had increased to 400 meters.

This is a very subtle distance; he can hit the Wildlanders, but the Wildlanders can hardly hit him.

For someone proficient in firearms, distance is everything.

The next second, Sun Chuci said on the walkie-talkie: “Don’t get out of the car, wait in the car.”

Then, he and Tuanzi silently watched the boy outside the car repeatedly pull the trigger for single shots.

The shooting frequency was very high, as if the boy didn’t need to aim when shooting.

The high-frequency gunshots were like the drumbeats in music, with their own unique and dense rhythm.

Sun Chuci and their vehicle were facing away from the Wildlanders, so he turned around and lay on the seatback, looking back through the window.

He wanted to see how accurate Qing Chen’s shooting was.

To his astonishment, he watched as the Wildlanders’ vehicles overturned one after another. Every time Qing Chen fired a shot, a burst of blood would erupt from the Wildlanders’ car.

Some Wildlanders poked their heads out of the car to shoot back, but the Off-road Vehicles on the bumpy road caused the trajectory to drift constantly, and they couldn’t aim at Qing Chen normally.

Moreover, these Wildlanders could only fire one shot at most before being killed by Qing Chen; the boy didn’t give them any chance to correct their trajectory.

In less than ten seconds, those Wildlanders didn’t even have a chance to catch up before they were all wiped out.

Qing Chen walked towards the vehicles without saying a word. He reviewed his memory and judged that there should still be two people alive in the convoy, but they were in his shooting blind spot in the overturned vehicle, protected by the car body.

Seeing Qing Chen advancing, Sun Chuci quickly called his companions to get out of the car and follow behind.

The Time Travelers looked at Qing Chen’s back, only feeling that the arm holding the firearm was motionless, as steady as a rock.

“Don’t rush to get close, there are still two people alive,” Qing Chen calmly said.

The next moment, he turned and finally found a new shooting angle and pulled the trigger.

Qing Chen lowered his arm and let out a long breath of white air. The warm breath in the cold winter was like a precise steam engine operating.

He turned around and smiled at Tuanzi and the others: “Go, see if there are any spoils of war you need. Don’t worry, there’s no danger.”

Sun Chuci didn’t speak; he quickly walked towards the Wildlanders’ vehicle and pried open their trunk to take out the two cages containing the Hawks.

Surprisingly, the two cages were empty.

Qing Chen saw this and guessed: “These Wildlanders are going to trade Hawks with you for antibiotics, right?”

Sun Chuci glanced at him and didn’t hide it: “Yes.”

“Some of these people have a severe flu, and maybe many people in their camp are also infected, so they urgently need antibiotics to save their lives,” Qing Chen said, “But they didn’t find the Hawks you needed, so they couldn’t complete the trade.”

Hawks are not as easy to catch as imagined. Earlier, the Qin family came to the wilderness to catch Kestrels, but they didn’t even see the shadow of a Kestrel in two months.

Therefore, the Wildlanders decided to take a risk and directly rob the antibiotics.

Qing Chen looked at Sun Chuci: “When you traded before, did you directly take the medicine from the car and give it to them?”

Sun Chuci nodded.

Qing Chen smiled: “Next time, you should be smarter. Bury the medicine in a certain place first, tell them where the medicine is buried after completing the transaction, otherwise, killing you will allow them to find the medicine in the car, it’s hard not to arouse malicious intentions. Of course, the safest way is to have stronger force yourself.”

There are no so many reasons to kill people in the wilderness; you only need to have a piece of bread in your hand when I’m hungry, or medicine when I’m sick.

The logic is so simple, brutal, and direct.

At this time, Sun Chuci checked all the vehicles and collected the Wildlanders’ firearms onto the car, taking photos as evidence.

He said to Qing Chen: “City 10 has issued a bounty for the Wildlanders to the Wilderness Hunters; killing one Wildlander will get you five thousand yuan. There are seventeen Wildlanders here, which can be exchanged for eighty-five thousand yuan… We can give you eighty thousand yuan after receiving the bounty.”

Qing Chen was stunned. He knew before that Wildlanders were also one of the targets of Wilderness Hunters, just like the targets of the Conglomerate Autumn Hunt were not just beasts.

But he didn’t know that the lives of Wildlanders could actually be exchanged for money in the Federation!

Moreover, it was so cheap.

Qing Chen looked at Sun Chuci and smiled: “After working hard for half a day, you only keep five thousand yuan, and the rest is all mine?”

Sun Chuci said seriously: “You killed all the people, and we were also saved by you; taking five thousand yuan is considered us taking advantage.”

Mainly because they were a bit too difficult; otherwise, they might not even want the five thousand.

Qing Chen smiled: “You saved me too.”

Sun Chuci said: “Judging by your abilities, even if we didn’t give you a ride, you would be fine.”

At this moment, Sun Chuci had already thought it through. How could someone like Qing Chen be left behind halfway and rushed to City 10 to be reborn?

Therefore, all the excuses Qing Chen had said before were just stories made up by him.

But every time Sun Chuci thought of this boy lying on the ground pretending to be pitiful, he felt a little absurd…

What kind of behavior is this? Just like playing, right?

Qing Chen looked at Sun Chuci and shook his head with a smile: “It’s okay, after you receive the money from the Federation, you can keep it. Consider it the fare for me hitching a ride. It also saves you from murdering me for money and killing me on the way. Isn’t that how it is in the wilderness?”

Sun Chuci was stunned: “We wouldn’t do that.”

Qing Chen continued: “The Exit-Entry Administration Bureau is very strict in controlling antibiotics recently. Generally, Wilderness Hunters can hardly bring out so many antibiotics from the city, so you are Time Travelers, and the antibiotics were also brought from the Outer World?”

Tuanzi and the others were alarmed when they heard this, as if their biggest secret had been exposed.

Qing Chen smiled: “Don’t worry, I won’t report you. Although I’m what you call an Inner World native, I have no ill will towards Time Travelers.”

Sun Chuci breathed a sigh of relief. You know, Time Travelers are now much more valuable than Wildlanders.

Qing Chen got in the car first to warm up: “Don’t forget to search their cars thoroughly. After all, firearms and ammunition are quite useful to you.”

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi blushed when they heard this, because they knew that Qing Chen had already guessed their difficult situation.

After Qing Chen got in the car, Tuanzi whispered to Sun Chuci: “Senior, I counted just now. This boy only fired 13 shots, but 17 Wildlanders died. I now think his identity must be extraordinary. He is very likely to be a big figure in the Federation…”

Sun Chuci lowered his head in thought. The automatic rifle they used was 7.62 mm in caliber.

Even if this caliber can create penetrating wounds in the human body, it is difficult to penetrate the human body and vehicle seats and cause fatal damage to the people behind.

He checked the wounds of the Wildlanders and found that four Wildlanders had their carotid arteries grazed by Qing Chen’s bullets and died.

Each bullet was like a knife, cutting open the carotid artery, and it didn’t even lose much kinetic energy before hitting the Wildlanders in the back.

If one Wildlander died like this, it might be a coincidence, but if four died like this, it can’t be a coincidence!

What kind of marksmanship is this?!

Tuanzi added: “Senior, his surname is Qing.”

Qing is a rare surname.

As she spoke, she looked back at the boy who had already gotten into the car. The other party was looking at her with a smile, the smile still clean and flawless.
