Chapter 1031: 637. The whole world is an enemy_2
“Understood, in Three Card Poker, soone has a hand of three Kings, soone else has a hand of three Aces, everyone thinks they can take the whole table,” Qing Chen said, “Usually this kind of ga is when the biggest bets are made.”
“Hmm, I’m going to take a nap,” Shadow said with a smile.
Just at that mont.
Qing Chen saw Shadow suddenly close his eyes, his head drooped down.
No heartbeat sound, no breathing sound.
Qing Chen was stunned for a mont, his expression suddenly changed.
He had just finished saying he had three Aces in his hand, and now these three Aces folded?!
He shook Shadow a bit and tentatively asked, “Brother? Are you faking it or is it real, it’s not a good ti for a backlash.”
Yang Yang muttered quietly from the side, “From the force field perspective, it’s not faking, it’s very weak.”
Qing Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, “Wait a mont, let’s wait for an hour and see if he can wake up.”
“Okay.”
An hour passed.
This ti the backlash Shadow suffered was even longer than the last ti. Half an hour had passed, and Shadow showed no signs of waking up.
Qing Chen had an ominous feeling.
For so reason, Shadow now actually seed more like he was purposefully putting his body into dormancy, preparing for the upcoming earth-shattering battle.
The last ti, when Shadow suffered a backlash, even he couldn’t predict when it would happen.
This ti was different. This ti Shadow had notified Qing Chen in advance, so it seed more like he was proactively taking on certain backlashes, to avoid it happening at the most critical mont in the future.
Qing Chen asked, “Yang Yang, how many people can you carry while flying?”
Yang Yang said, “With two I can maintain high-speed flight, with three the speed would decrease significantly, and four is just too much.”
They had seven people…
“Abandon the vehicle,” Qing Chen said, frowning, “Driving on the road makes us too big of a target. Those people from Qing’s Family have already handed over enough pledges of allegiance, Chen Yu and Li Bingxi won’t keep waiting. Those people from Qing’s Family have no way out.”
“Okay,” Yang Yang said, sitting in the truck bed and tapping on the window of the cab, “Stop, we’re not far from Taboo Land No. 002, we’re going to hike through the mountains.”
If what Shadow said was true, there will be main forces of the Chen Clan waiting in the south, then walking on the road is like seeking death.
They are approximately 240 kiloters away from Taboo Land No. 002, if they move quickly, they can cross the mountains in about two days.
The pickup truck stopped by the roadside, Qing Chen carefully carried Shadow on his back.
This person who had always protected him now placed his life in Qing Chen’s hands without any defenses.
Just as Yang Yang said, Qing Chen was now the only person Shadow could trust unconditionally.
Zard curiously said, “Should I carry him instead? I’m strong!”
Qing Chen shook his head, “You’re the strongest expert in the team right now, an expert among experts, so you can’t have any burden, you need to focus entirely on battle.”
Zard smiled broadly, “Boss, it seems my identity as a top-level expert can’t be hidden from everyone anymore.”
Qing Chen said, “…Let’s go.”
Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi reluctantly looked at the pickup.
This truck, which had accompanied them since the beginning of their journey, now had to be bid farewell to.
Qing Chen stood to the side and said, “You two should stop practicing the God of Thunder, practice Zhunti True Qi instead.”
“Huh?” Sun Chu Ci was stunned for a mont, “Is there a difference?”
Qing Chen said, “Zhunti True Qi is what Freemasonry Nangong Yuan and the others used to practice, as well as what Zhang Tianzhen, Nan Gengchen, Liu Dezhu, and Li Tongyun are currently practicing. For a genius like XiaoTongyun, I would suggest switching to the God of Thunder, her foundation allows her to quickly convert Zhunti True Qi into thunder. But you two… are more suited for Zhunti True Qi, I saw you both sneak into a tent last night?”
Sun Chu Ci asked curiously, “What do you an by ‘we’re more suited,’ what’s the connection here?”
“There is a connection, you’ll find out later,” Qing Chen said, “Additionally, Zhunti True Qi has another shortcut, which is Empowernt.”
They needed to make a long journey, and up to now, Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi were still ordinary people, definitely not ready for the intensity of wilderness trekking, so Qing Chen needed to help them grow.
Now, Qing Chen’s body is like a vast ocean filled with Knight Vital Energy, in one breath he could empower them up to E-Class, which would be enough.
After the empowernt, Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi were looking at their hands in disbelief.
It was hard for them to believe that the cultivator’s realm they had been dreaming of was now achieved in the blink of an eye.
In comparison, with those team mbers who abandoned them to do tasks, they had no idea how many tasks and how many nights it would take to reach E-Class.
This is the advantage of following the right person.
As for Zhang ngchan…
This child invoked imnse pity; while walking, Yang Yang would secretly create an anti-gravity field for him, and Zard would use his abilities to help him move, making it look like he was covering miles in one stride as in legends.
Shadow would also make excuses, saying things in the hiking bag were useless and would discard them to lighten Zhang ngchan’s load.
Qing Chen watched, frowning for a long ti, but ultimately said nothing.
He wondered what aning there was for a little boy to carry such an empty hiking bag…
But now is not the ti to think about these things.
The group plunged into the wilderness, heading south.
Before them were mountains like a fortress, filled with danger, they had to carve out a bloody path from there.
…
…
Three hours after Qing Chen and the others abandoned their vehicle, a special forces team suddenly appeared beside the truck.
The strange thing was, besides carrying firearms, this group was also carrying two black briefcases.
They were not wearing semi-enclosed exoskeleton transmission armor.
Generally, soldiers planning to conduct raids in the wilderness, unless they were high-level genetic warriors with extre confidence in their physical strength, would absolutely wear exoskeleton armor.
This special forces team consisted of 41 people, each with twelve scars carved on their faces, destroying their original appearance and making facial recognition impossible.
In the Federation’s database, they never left behind their DNA comparison records.
The Faceless Army.
Also one of the elite special forces within the Federation.
They connected a handheld computer to the truck’s central console and checked it. The person examining the vehicle looked at the handheld computer and whispered, “The last driving ti was three hours ago, their team has experts as well as ordinary people, they won’t be much faster than us.”
The action captain of the Faceless Army was silent for a mont, then made a tactical gesture, and the 41 people quickly infiltrated towards the distant mountains.
The 41 individuals leapt through the forest swiftly, like agile monkeys, each of them above the B-Class genetic warrior!
This was the outco of an arms race, constructed by other factions after learning about the existence of the Shadow Troop, resulting in the most elite special forces.
Every mber here could assu responsibility within a battalion-level establishnt of the army.
…
…
Once the Faceless Army entered the wilderness.
A brigade-sized force arrived at the abandoned vehicle site and made the sa choice as the Faceless Army.
A lieutenant colonel ordered the main force to continue along the main road, while a reconnaissance camp composed of genetic warriors was sent lightly armoured to head towards the wilderness.
This reconnaissance camp had as many as five hundred soldiers, each a D-Class genetic warrior, with the camp commander being B-Class.
A massive number of chanical spiders were dumped into the wilderness, advancing alongside the genetic warriors, the chanical legs of the spiders scraping the ground produced a hair-raising rustling sound.
An adjutant asked, “That team has the Shadow with them, even if we pile them with lives, we can’t kill them. Does this make sense?”
The lieutenant colonel sneered, “Of course, the Shadow’s abilities are not limitless, each kill accumulates a little backlash, that’s a pattern that has been studied for ten years by those above. Do you think the Shadow isn’t afraid of human wave tactics? No, he fears them too. Otherwise, why do you think he has acted so cautiously over the years? It’s just in the recent future that he’s dared to act more openly.”
Lieutenant Colonel: “Rest assured, all the top brass wants us to do is show so sort of attitude.”
After all, three hours after Qing Chen’s group abandoned the car, a special forces team suddenly appeared beside the vehicle.
The strange thing was, aside from firearms, these people were also carrying two black briefcases.
They were not wearing half-enclosed exoskeleton power armor.
This special forces unit consisted of a total of 41 people, and every person had twelve marks on their face.
The Faceless Army.
Also the most elite special forces within the Federation.
They connected with the abandoned pickup and noticed that it had been there for three hours. They realized that the group was composed of experts and ordinary people, aning they wouldn’t be much faster than us.
This special forces unit, comprising 41 individuals, was one of the most elite built by the Federation as a response to the Shadow Troop.
The 41 people swiftly hopped and dashed through the forest terrain, resembling agile monkeys.
