"But the problem is, a silhouette can only copy its own shadow," a staff officer said.
"What if it can copy soone else’s?"
Chen Yehu shook his head: "I know the specific information about the silhouette. Our Chen Clan had an ancestor who owned it, but it disappeared later. That silhouette cannot copy others’ shadows. If it does, all shadows will attack the host together, unlike now, where they attack our soldiers. There must be another issue!"
At this mont, Squad Leader Liu Pengsheng held on to the last as he struggled to retreat toward the army.
Chen Yehu suddenly asked, "What about the refugees? Are they all dead?"
Liu Pengsheng gasped and said, "Reporting to the officer, I’m not quite sure, but they definitely can’t hold out against these shadows’ fights."
In an instant, a blade flashed in the corner of the video.
Liu Pengsheng tumbled and fell, the video even showed his lower body still in place, separated!
The squad leader struggled to say, "Qieshe..."
Before he could finish, Liu Pengsheng completely died, and the video fell silent.
The command vehicle plunged into a strange silence.
"Qieshe..." A combat staff officer frowned and said, "Qieshe Yumian? I find it sowhat eerie. Jindai has no grounds to send people here to disrupt our strategic plans. Even if they rely on overseas forces, they shouldn’t co to provoke us unless they can drag us into battle and annihilate us together... But are overseas forces really that powerful?"
"But the problem is, are Liu Pengsheng and his team lying at the cost of their lives? They’re dead," another staff officer said.
"It could be death warriors from another family, deliberately misleading us."
"Could it be so special rules?" soone asked.
Chen Yehu determined: "No, it’s not the rules. If it was rules, Liu Pengsheng would have died the mont he first revealed intel to us."
"Strange..."
"In any case, there is a significant problem. This bizarre ambush isn’t an issue with the Taboo Land itself, but soone has set up an ambush here, ready to intercept us and prevent us from discovering all the rules," the chief staff officer said. "But how did they know about our actions? To pre-emptively ambush here, they must have known about the plan early on. We have a mole in high command! This must be reported to the Family Head and an internal purge must be conducted."
"No need to inform the Family Head, the Great Emperor is right above us in the floating ship. Informing him will do, rember to whom we owe loyalty," Chen Yehu said loudly in the command vehicle: "Imdiately connect to the A-Class Floating ship and have them survey from above to see if they can observe inside the Taboo Land!"
Soon, a ssage ca from the floating ship: "This is the area where the forest is densest, detection cannot penetrate, everything is obscured by the canopy."
Chen Yehu reported everything that happened here.
Ultimately, a cold voice from Chen Yu ca from the A-Class Floating ship, "Hmm, understood. Station here for one day. The rules are roughly clear; enter the 008 Taboo Land tomorrow."
...
...
Inside the 008 Taboo Land.
Two kiloters from the recent battlefield, Zard was excitedly saying, "It’s a wrap, it’s a wrap! Congratulations everyone on a spectacular performance; now, all have regained their freedom. No worries about the consortium, no fears of being dragged into the Taboo Land. I recomnd a path: wait at the southeast corner edge of the Taboo Land for a few days, until Chen Clan’s floating ship leaves the area, then move southeast, there’s a settlent there..."
The refugees looked at each other, originally thinking entering the 008 Taboo Land ant certain death, yet the situation took a sudden turn and everyone survived.
No, not everyone; during the period, many really accidentally received the rule’s punishnt, resulting in over a hundred deaths.
Qing Chen also didn’t want them to die, but there was no other choice.
However, this helped him morize the details of so rules.
The biggest gain from this operation was the successful rescue of 90% of the refugees, and quite easily.
He and Chen Jiazhang had planned, with this uncle connecting all the refugees, conspiring to fake rule-triggering, and guiding them on how to perform.
Those who knew how to perform would die first, those who couldn’t would remain in the last batch, Qing Chen directly used the silhouette to dispatch soldiers, so no need to act.
The refugees ’triggering the rules’ individually just needed to lie on the ground and wait for Chen Clan’s soldiers to move away before getting up, no one would question dead bodies verified by their squad leader.
Chen Clan soldiers wouldn’t kindly help bury the bodies either.
So as long as they feigned death, they could leave the group.
Initially, the refugees were quite nervous when their vital signs were checked, after all, it was checked by those four demon-like squad leaders.
They soon discovered these four rely went through the motions.
All suddenly recalled Zard’s sacrifice and felt even more admiration.
The young man used one night to subdue and turn those four squad leaders!
Such skill.
The second gain was Qing Chen mastering six rules.
The third gain was misleading Chen’s Army with 14 rules, including not being able to sit and rest, eat, touch, hum songs, talk with the opposite sex, use sign language, urinate standing, defecate squatting...
Fanciful and diverse.
Qing Chen could even imagine, when Chen’s Army returns to the 008 Taboo Land, starving without eating and unable to make tactical gestures...
Especially the last one, it was hardcore, Qing Chen hadn’t imagined Chen Jiazhang would devise such misleading directions.
These performances were all planned by Uncle Chen Jiazhang. Qing Chen originally thought his uncle had lost the knight’s essence, but now realized the knight’s trickster nature is engraved in their genes.
It’s as if with the opening of the genetic lock, certain demonic genes were released...
Of course, the final gain: misleading Chen’s Army to believe the shadow’s belly button was the fatal point.
If he reuses this trick next ti, soldiers waste an entire magazine’s worth of bullets hitting the shadow’s belly button, resulting in the body feeling dozens of bullet wounds, and still couldn’t kill the shadow.
Thus, the killing effect of the silhouette will further amplify, rendering it effectively unstoppable.
After all, this was information transmitted by four loyal squad leaders; who would doubt them...
At this point, Qing Chen had already regained the puppeteer control and said to Chen Jiazhang, "Uncle, your flair is unchanged."
Chen Jiazhang looked at Qing Chen, grinning without real humor, and said, "The old fellows giving you the puppeteer was truly lacking in virtue."
Initially, this uncle was thinking, it was rely controlling four squad leaders, who at most were platoon leaders, what use could it be?
But he found himself underestimating Qing Chen, using these four insignificant officers to leverage so much, and plant so much suspense.
Uncle and nephew exchanged a aningful smile, hehehe.
Qing Chen looked at the refugees: "Leave according to the direction we gave. Rember, don’t leave the Taboo Land within three days; the A-Class floating ship above hasn’t moved. When you reach the wild settlers’ area, ntion Zard’s na, soone will arrange proper accommodations for you. You all are proficient farrs; you’ll certainly rebuild your hos there."
Xiao Yu also added beside him, "ntioning my na works too!"
"Thank you," an elderly lady said and was about to kneel before Qing Chen.
Qing Chen supported her: "This is our Parents’ eting motto, no need to thank."
Everyone froze, Parents’ eting? Was it the Parents’ eting that was causing a stir online before?
Qing Chen said: "Alright, everyone, we part ways, I don’t know when we’ll et again, take care!"
He wasn’t worried soone would inform Chen Clan; Chen Clan’s ruthless actions left these people wary of seeking more trouble.
Soone curiously asked, "Aren’t you leaving?"
"No," Qing Chen grinned: "I’ve got to kill them all; otherwise, they’d go to Fire Pit and hurt my friends."
Back then, Qin Yi and the elder traveled far to the north to save him in the Polar Chill. If they hadn’t fought alongside Fire Pit, stalling a field division, Qing Ling and Li Cheng wouldn’t have survived.
Now it’s ti for him to repay this favor.
