Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 533: Yi? I’m here.

It has to be said that this Time Traveler named Wang Shuang was really unlucky.

This was the extremely cold north, and not only did he not get to enjoy the fun of being a Time Traveler after arriving, he also had to move stones every day!

Wang Shuang grew up in the sunny New China, when the hell had he ever suffered like this? Even if he couldn’t escape, he didn’t dare tell others that he was a Time Traveler...

After he explained to a group of prisoners what a Time Traveler was, someone suddenly curiously asked, “You’ve been hiding it pretty well, kid. I thought you were a little off before, and when I asked what was wrong, you said you were sick. Why are you suddenly admitting it now?”

Wang Shuang said, “Qing Chen is also a Time Traveler, and I know him. First of all, things aren’t as you think, I don’t think he was defeated by Shendai.”

“Wait, you say Qing Chen Supervisor is a Time Traveler? Does the Qing Family know about this?” Someone from the Qing Family wondered.

“They definitely know. He’s quite famous in the Outer World now, a core member of an organization called Daybreak. I know him, but he doesn’t know me,” Wang Shuang recalled the news he saw in the Outer World, saying, “Yesterday at 12 o’clock at night was the time travel for all Time Travelers. You may not have felt anything, but Qing Chen and I have actually been in the Outer World for a month.”

Wang Shuang continued, “In that month, the Daybreak organization massacred more than a thousand people, including Shendai Yunjue, Yun Ye, Yun Yi, and Yun Wu, the four B-level core members, to avenge Qing Chen.”

The prison cell was silent, and everyone listened like they were hearing a story. Wang Shuang had opened a new world to them.

All the prisoners instantly lay back on their bunks. The Shendai soldiers outside opened the window on the iron door and shone flashlights inside.

After more than ten seconds, they closed it again.

Most of the prisoners had been here for more than ten years and knew very well that there would be no more soldiers coming for inspection tonight. On such a cold night, the Shendai soldiers would also choose to be lazy, hiding in the guard room to play cards and sleep.

“Old Li, take out the thing in your crotch and use it, don’t let Shendai hear what we’re saying,” someone said.

Old Li lay on the bed expressionlessly and said, “Give me a picture of your sister, and I’ll turn it on.”

The speaker cursed in a low voice, “Are you human? I only brought one picture with me, tucked in my clothes when I came in!”

“Qing, are you going to give it or not?” Old Li said lightly, “That’s your Qing Family’s Supervisor, not our Li Clan’s, I don’t want to listen.”

The Qing Family intelligence officer struggled for a long time, “Here you go!”

The man called Old Li reached into his crotch, took out a small black box, and pressed the switch.

One thing that a02 Base had in common with other prisons was that Shendai also let the prisoners do some other hard labor. For example, Shendai Yunzhi contracted some assembly work within the Federation, and then let the more than 3,000 people here work day and night to make money for him.

That’s when the prisoners saved up some small things over the years.

The soldiers here weren’t worried about anyone escaping. The prisoners all had locators on them, and beyond a02 was an 800-kilometer snow-covered uninhabited area.

There was no food on the winter snowfields, and no one could walk out alive.

Old Li said, “It’s on, Tie Dan, you continue to talk about what happened, others lie on the bed and listen, don’t get up.”

Wang Shuang asked, “Do you want to hear about the Outer World?”

“That’s a stupid question. First, tell us what kind of person this Qing Chen Supervisor is. Why can a Time Traveler become the youngest Federation pca director?” someone mumbled.

Wang Shuang thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know about those things, the Daybreak organization is very mysterious. It is said that the boss of the Daybreak organization is the next generation Knight leader, and Qing Chen is Mr. Instructor of the Li Clan Academy, and also the owner of Autumn Leaf Manor, and no one else knows. Oh, by the way, someone said that Li Changqing used the Qingshan Airship Fortress to save him before.”

Old Li, who had been bargaining, was stunned, “What? The owner of Autumn Leaf Manor? Woah, why didn’t anyone mention it before, Shendai actually caught our Li Clan’s future imperial teacher here?!”

Old Li, who had been indifferent before, now had a look of astonishment on his Face^[-].

Now, it wasn’t just the Qing Family people who cared about Qing Chen, even the Li Clan intelligence officers couldn’t sit still!

The owner of Autumn Leaf Manor, this was something legendary within the Li Clan! The patriarch went to Autumn Leaf Manor to pay homage every year, and sometimes, when he missed his mentor too much, he would even stay there for a while every month during the full moon.

Moreover, Li Changqing even used the Qingshan Fortress, it definitely wasn’t fake.

Everyone here came from the military. They knew very well that to use the Qingshan Fortress, it must be an administrative order issued by the Secretariat. It was something only the patriarch could use!

Old Li lay on the bunk, “Wait a minute, my brain is a little messed up. Qing Family core member, Time Traveler, why does he have such a high status in my Li Clan, this is unscientific!”

Wang Shuang: “Yeah, I think it’s unscientific… The unscientific part is still to come. This time after Qing Chen was caught, all the Time Travelers returned. The boss of the Daybreak organization directly attacked Shendai’s territory, not only blowing up more than ten of their shrines, but also killing wildly…”

Wang Shuang continued, “So you think he was defeated, but my feeling is completely opposite to yours. I saw him no longer building stone walls, and he even wolfed down his food, and I immediately knew that he was conserving his strength. There’s a saying in the Outer World, ‘Mature people will live a life of humiliation and weight training for a goal.’ I think this quote is quite fitting for Qing Chen now.”

In fact, the discussion of Daybreak in the Outer World has far surpassed that of traffic stars.

Wang Shuang felt it even more keenly. As a Time Traveler, he witnessed Qing Chen’s tenacity with his own eyes, watching him confront Shendai, watching him build stone walls again and again.

Every time he saw all this, Wang Shuang would feel… no wonder he became more powerful than himself after becoming a Time Traveler.

He admitted that he couldn’t do what Qing Chen did.

At this moment, Old Li silently returned the picture of the person next door’s sister, and said in a muffled voice, “No, it’s too hot.”

The Li Clan intelligence officers suddenly felt that the melon they were eating had suddenly landed on them.

And the most important thing was, that was a big shot in their Li Clan, how could they suffer such humiliation from Shendai?!

Old Li said, “It was you who spat on the ground this morning, wasn’t it, Li Zhong?”

Li Zhong was stunned, “Ah?”

Old Li: “Get up and punish yourself with one hundred push-ups.”

Li Zhong: “…Okay, but I didn’t eat enough tonight, can I owe seventy?”

Old Li: “No.”

The Li Clan people in the a02 Base seemed loose, but in fact, they strictly maintained their superior-subordinate relationship according to their ranks.

This was the education they had always received, the Li Clan paid more attention to order than other Conglomerates.

In the Li Clan, the person in charge was Old Li, Li Cheng.

Just as Li Zhong was doing push-ups, a dense sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cell block.

Everyone quickly lay down.

But they saw the gate outside the cell block suddenly open, and Shendai Yunzhi, wearing a mink coat, stood at the door, “The Winter Hunt has started early. In a while, I will give you two hours to escape, you must run as far as possible, those who don’t want to run, hide well, otherwise it will be boring for me.”

All the prisoners were stunned. Why did the Winter Hunt come early?!

Seeing their puzzlement, Shendai Yunzhi smiled, “It’s all because of Qing Chen, you who come back alive, blame him.”

With that, hundreds of Shendai soldiers armed with guns rushed into the cell block, driving the prisoners out with sticks.

Despair appeared on the faces of the prisoners one by one.

Over the years, there was almost a Winter Hunt every year in the a02 secret base, and thousands of people died each time.

Originally, there were more than 10,000 people in the four cell blocks, but now three of them are empty.

Winter Hunt meant death.

The prisoners were driven into the cold wind, some even barefoot, without having time to put on their shoes.

In the pigsty, Qing Chen watched this scene quietly.

Shendai Yunzhi said it was three days later during the day, but he acted suddenly tonight.

There were still four days until the time he planned to act.

If he wanted to escape smoothly, he should suddenly act in four days, and then rush to his destination as quickly as possible.

Stay.

Or act?

If he stayed, his plan would undoubtedly be more perfect.

If he acted, it would take longer from the time he acted to the time he escaped. If he gave Shendai time to react, he might not even be able to escape, and his master probably hadn’t arrived yet.

However, Qing Chen knew exactly what he would choose.

Qing Chen suddenly stood up from the pigsty and said, “Yi.”

The 24 War Robots around him seemed to suddenly come alive, raising their heads to look at Qing Chen, and said in unison, “I’m here.”

These were 24 War Robots that Shendai had just brought from outside. Qing Chen guessed that they did not belong to the physically isolated network system of the a02 secret military base.

He guessed right.

Qing Chen looked at the prisoners being escorted to the icy and snowy land, waiting for a chance to strike among the dozens of Metal Storm lock-ons in this base.
