Night’s Nomenclature

"Ding Dong!"

I've prepared a lot of fruit for you in the Forbidden Zone. There are red ones, green ones, white ones, yellow ones, and pink ones!

"Ding Dong!"

The little guys in the Forbidden Zone wanted to steal some, but I stopped them. However, this made quite a few of them unhappy.

"Ding Dong!"

I've been guarding the fruit, but now I'm going out to fight with Gu Dong. The little guys in the Forbidden Zone will definitely steal some, but it's okay; I can go pick some more for you.

In the distance, the man-killing bear was rampaging, while Ding Dong chatted casually with Qing Chen, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Because of the man-killing bear's appearance, no one paid them any attention for a while. Zard alone blocked the remaining firepower.

Zard listened attentively to Ding Dong's "Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong." Although he didn't understand what it meant, he listened very seriously, occasionally muttering words like "plop" and "crack" to echo Ding Dong's words, fully immersing himself in the conversation.

Zard said confidently: "I can't understand, but I just thought it was too lonely for him to be talking alone."

Zhang Mengqian, Sun Chuci, Tuanzi: ""

At this time, the Chen Family army had been thrown into chaos by this sudden change. Even the Chen Family painter who had been hiding in the ranks was forced to reveal his remaining trump cards. Otherwise, with the heavy firepower units being decimated, the Chen Family army might have been completely crushed by the man-killing bear!

This field army was the Chen Family's elite force. At this point, their casualty rate had exceeded 40%, and being able to maintain their formation without collapsing was a testament to their excellent training.

But what if the casualties continued? No one could guarantee the outcome.

In the early years, Koshima's army even had cases where soldiers demanded payment before battle; if they didn't get paid, they would simply disperse.

At that time, the Conglomerate was still very naive, thinking that money could buy a valiant army. Later, they learned how to control their troops.

In this chaotic environment, Qing Chen looked up at the giant in front of him. The giant's words flowed out like a dam bursting, endlessly pouring forth.

It was like a reunion of old friends, with endless new things to share.

Qing Chen smiled and touched Ding Dong's massive hand hanging by his side: "Thank you."

But the moment Qing Chen touched Ding Dong, he cried.

Tears welled up in the giant's clear eyes, falling drop by drop onto the ground.

Qing Chen was stunned, but he quickly realized why the giant was crying and smiled softly, explaining: "I'm fine."

Zhang Mengqian and the others watched from the side. This was the first time they had seen a giant up close, so they were extremely curious.

However, they couldn't understand a word the giant was saying. It seemed that only the Boss could understand.

When Ding Dong cried, everyone was puzzled as to why the giant was weeping.

Only Yang Yang suddenly understood.

She knew that Ding Dong's giant talent was telepathy. So, when Qing Chen's finger touched him, Ding Dong instantly sensed the sadness Qing Chen had experienced, and tears welled up.

Ding Dong wasn't crying for himself, but for Qing Chen.

Yang Yang looked at the young man's profile in front of the giant.

Upon her return, Li Tongyun called her and said that Qing Chen seemed to have moved on and appeared normal.

At that time, Yang Yang was slightly relieved.

This time, seeing that Qing Chen had returned to normal, Yang Yang wasn't worried anymore.

However, Ding Dong could see through all the superficial disguises. It was the talent of the giant race—to see his heart through Qing Chen's façade.

So Ding Dong was also sad.

Only Ding Dong knew what was hidden behind Qing Chen's smile.

Strength is just a form of camouflage.

Ding Dong wiped away his tears: "Ding Dong!"

Let me avenge you!

Qing Chen shook his head with a smile: "Don't do that. I hope you can continue to be a kind giant and never participate in war."

At this time, Gu Dong beside him said: "Gu Dong!"

You still have some conscience, kid. My name is Gu Dong, and I'm Ding Dong's younger brother. I heard about you from the old guys in the Forbidden Zone. They said you are the next leader of the Knights, and told me to listen to you. But looking at your thin arms and legs, I doubt you can become as strong as Uncle Li. You're also too slow. When I sparred with him, I couldn't even touch him. How about this? You become the King of Humans in the future, and I become the King of the Forbidden Zone. We can sign an eternal alliance right now. Then, we'll work together to rule the world. I hear you're very smart; help me decipher the rules of Forbidden Zone 001, and I'll help you flatten the Federation!

Qing Chen was stunned. What the heck was this about flattening the Federation?

Gu Dong's "Uncle Li" must be Li Shutong.

In terms of strength, he certainly couldn't compare to Li Shutong. His master is a Demi-God!

At this time, Zhang Mengqian curiously asked Qing Chen: "Boss, what are those two giants saying?"

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: "They said, welcome to Forbidden Zone 00."

However, at this moment, Gu Dong said stiffly: "I speak human language. Your translation is too far off! The level of translation is very similar to Uncle Li's."

Qing Chen: "??? "

It's over.

He capsized in the gutter.

He thought all giants only spoke "Ding Dong" and "Gu Dong," but this Gu Dong, having fought for a long time outside Forbidden Zone 00, had actually learned human language!

Now, he no longer had a monopoly on translation between himself and the Forbidden Zone creatures!

Yang Yang and the others looked at Qing Chen questioningly: "?"

Qing Chen: "Hahaha, it's roughly the same meaning. Let's not talk about this now. Our most important task is to take advantage of the man-killing bear charging and counterattack the Chen Family army."

Gu Dong said in clumsy Mandarin: "I think the same way. They've beaten me up for so long, it's time to fight back!"

Before Qing Chen could suggest any strategy, Gu Dong had already charged out, carrying a tank.

This giant's only strategy was to flatten everything.

Qing Chen found it strange how the old guys in Forbidden Zone 00 raised their children. One Ding Dong and one Gu Dong had such vastly different personalities.

Was it a subcontracting responsibility system? One group of old guys taught Gu Dong, another group taught Ding Dong, resulting in these two brothers with such different personalities.

Qing Chen didn't know that at this very moment, an old guy was frantically shouting, "First, there were the Knights, then the heavens, the Knights fight Gods with one hand! Just do it!"

Another old guy quickly scolded: "You're too arrogant. We don't have to fight Gods with one hand. At least use two hands."

The frantically shouting Knight said: "What are you afraid of? The Gods are also Knights! His name is carved on the last meter of Qingshan Cliff. Don't be afraid. That's our slogan! He won't mind!"

Everyone thought about it, and it was indeed the case. Ren Xiaosu's name was also on Qingshan Cliff. So the Knights fighting Gods with one hand didn't seem so wrong after all!

Qing Chen sighed: "If I could fight like him every time, it would be quite exhilarating."

Ding Dong chuckled: "Ding Dong!"

My brother is amazing, and you are amazing too!

Qing Chen laughed: "I didn't expect you to be a master of balancing things. Ding Dong, wait for us at the edge of Forbidden Zone 00 and don't participate in the battle.

"Ding Dong!"

No, I want to follow you!

Then, Qing Chen said to Zard: "Let's go. We've been beaten up for so long, it's time to hit back!"

Zard glanced at Huan Yu who was still asleep, thinking, "He'll wake up as Xiaoyu soon. I have to finish this battle before Xiaoyu wakes up, I can't let him see such a bloody scene." "Let's end this battle quickly!"

He roared and charged out.

It has to be said that the man-killing bear summoned by Boss Zheng was indeed powerful. Just this thick-skinned brown bear determined the outcome of the battle.

It wasn't that it was particularly ferocious or killed enemies very quickly, but it appeared in the heart of the Chen Family army, disrupting all their deployments.

Coupled with Yang Yang's preemptive strike on the heavy firepower units, the Chen Family side had nothing to counter it.

Ordinary Metahumans, even Knights, were all high-damage, low-health, low-defense fighters. So, even Demi-God Chen Yu would die if he took a direct hit from an Air Fortress's main electromagnetic cannon.

But the creatures of the Forbidden Zone were different. They were naturally tough, and with the Eternal Heaven Fruit and other fruits that Qing Chen treated as treasures, they were eaten as desserts. This made it easy to nurture some rare monsters.

Someone just fired an RPG rocket, and it barely blew open a piece of its skin, not even reaching the bone.

Most terrifyingly, this man-killing bear's mobility was extremely strong. The speed of a nuclear-powered main battle tank was nothing compared to it.

The Chen Family painter hidden in the ranks, in order to stabilize morale, crushed two more of his masterpieces.

Two golden guards, like gods, rushed towards the man-killing bear with axes, but were swatted away by a single paw.

The Chen Family painter, wearing the uniform of a private, watched this scene with a grim expression. He calmly took off his backpack.

When the backpack opened, it revealed the last eight scrolls inside.

These were the last trump cards of every Chen Family painter.

The Chen Family painter pulled out two scrolls, but before he could crush them, a long black blade pierced through his back.

The blade was stabbed downwards, piercing his heart. Blood flowed down the blade, dripping onto the painter's open backpack, staining his remaining scrolls red.

Since the appearance of the man-killing bear, He Jinqiu and Zheng Yuandong had disappeared.

Boss He took advantage of the chaos created by the man-killing bear and used nine Jade Heart Swords to break through the encirclement. His whereabouts were unknown, and he had fulfilled his promise and transaction.

Zheng Yuandong, concealing his sharp edge, quickly blended back into the soldiers wearing a Chen Family uniform.

He didn't leave, but kept patrolling among the crowd, trying to find the hidden Chen Family painter.

This Boss Zheng knew one thing: when facing a Chen Family painter, one must act decisively and swiftly capture the leader because you never know what kind of painter he is, how many years of hard work he has accumulated, and how many scrolls he has brought.

If the Chen Family painter present had suddenly unleashed more than a thousand scrolls like the Black Tortoise Chen of the past, everyone present would have died.

Therefore, as long as the painter stayed alive for one minute, the battle would not have a chance of winning.

Luckily, he found him.

Outer World Time Travelers' impression of Zheng Yuandong was always that of the dignified Kunlun leader and Academy dean. However, most Time Travelers didn't know that Zheng Yuandong was also the number one assassin in the Federation.

He also possessed peerless swordsmanship.

The sword was also a divine weapon left in the human world.

The Chen Family painter didn't react incredulously like in movies and TV dramas when he saw the blade. He immediately tried to crush the two scrolls in his hand to try and inflict final damage on the assassin behind him.

However, before he could do so, he felt an excruciating pain as the tip of the blade in his chest twisted slightly.

Zheng Yuandong didn't linger. He drew his sword, sheathed it, and turned around, all in one fluid motion.

Everyone's attention was on the man-killing bear, and it wasn't until two seconds later that someone noticed the painter kneeling on the ground, his eyes wide open in death.

The morale of the Chen Family soldiers began to crumble.

Normally, there should have been executioners in the field army. If deserters were found on the battlefield, they would be immediately shot and killed.

However, when the soldiers had the urge to flee, their first reaction was to check where the executioners were, and then they discovered that all the executioners were dead!

They hadn't even noticed when the executioners had died!

The Chen Family army began to collapse. Soldiers at the edge of the formation, taking advantage of the chaos, turned and fled towards the northern mountains.

If there is one, there will be a second.

The Chen Family army was like a balloon. A hole was torn in the north, and the air inside continuously poured out, more and more people fleeing, and the balloon becoming increasingly deflated.

However, in the mountains, the Faceless Soldiers were already waiting, fully intact, 41 of them, not a single one missing.

The Faceless Soldiers quietly followed the deserters in the night, and with their B-Class Gene Soldiers' abilities, easily harvested the soldiers who had no intention of fighting anymore.

Under the cover of night, the 41 B-Class Gene Soldiers were like the final death knell for the Chen Family soldiers.

The fleeing Chen Family soldiers were intentionally let go.

The Chen Family executioners were also assassinated beforehand.

The Faceless Ones didn't intend to use 41 people to shake the entire field army; they only needed to open an escape route at the edge of the army, allowing them to pursue them for hundreds of miles and kill the deserters one by one.

The scars on the faces of the Faceless Ones looked particularly hideous at this moment.

In fact, the Faceless Ones knew that they were a token of allegiance, meant to be sacrificed.

Only the payment of iron and blood could allow them to show their loyalty and stance to Qing Chen and Shadow on behalf of their Boss Qing Kun, thereby preventing more people from being subjected to a settlement of accounts.

In the view of the Faceless Soldiers, their ultimate fate was to protect Qing Chen's retreat at the cost of their lives.

They were prepared mentally.

After all, there were so many Chen Family soldiers, two Southern fleets, an army, and two brigades of land forces. Normal people would think that everyone would die here.

They even thought that even if they died here, they might not be able to get Qing Chen out.

The outcome was somewhat unexpected. They were supposed to strike after Shadow left, but when they arrived on the battlefield, the battle was almost over!

This made the Faceless Soldiers a bit embarrassed. They had to do something!

So they chased after the deserters.

War is about destroying the enemy's effective combat power to be considered a victory. If these deserters were let go and regrouped by the Chen Family, they would become a new army.

This was an army that only began to collapse after more than 50% casualties, already considered extremely elite.

The collapse of the front line meant that victory was certain.

Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

On the battlefield, the only one who wasn't satisfied was probably the man-killing bear.

After all, it had been suddenly brought here by Boss Zheng in the middle of the night to be beaten. It would be hard to feel satisfied without killing until dawn.

However, this man-killing bear also attacked indiscriminately. It not only killed the Chen Family army but also killed the wild boars and giants from Forbidden Zone 00.

The man-killing bear's scarlet eyes looked around until it saw Gu Dong.

Qing Chen's heart sank. This summoning technique was about to backfire.

"Be careful," Qing Chen said.

But just as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Dong walk slowly towards the man-killing bear, fists clenched.

The giant's eyes were no longer on the Chen Family army, only on the man-killing bear.

Now, Qing Chen probably knew where Gu Dong's scars came from. They were real battle scars from fighting fierce beasts!

Gu Dong's walking speed became faster and faster, until he finally ran. The earth trembled, like thunder!

Gu Dong's bulging muscles were like hard rocks carved by knives and axes, extremely fierce and tough!

The giant's running body was full of power, the purest and most primitive aesthetic of violence.

The man-killing bear was provoked and charged towards Gu Dong. The two kings of beasts from the Forbidden Zone were about to fight for dominance on the battlefield!

In an instant, the man-killing bear swung a paw at Gu Dong, but Gu Dong continued to charge forward without hesitation, blocking the blow with his left arm, and his right fist smashed into the man-killing bear's nose!

The man-killing bear roared and stood up. At that moment, its figure was twice as tall as Gu Dong!

Although Gu Dong landed a punch, he had to pay a price. The man-killing bear's claws left four deep wounds on his body.

Ding Dong, Qing Chen, Zard, Yang Yang—all wanted to help.

But Gu Dong didn't even frown, roaring: "Don't come. It's mine!"

As he spoke, he used a grappling technique, wrapping his arms around the man-killing bear's hind legs and throwing it to the ground.

The man-killing bear had fought in the Forbidden Zone, but it had never seen such fighting techniques.

In previous battles, it only needed to stand up and give its opponent a bear hug, and the opponent would be immediately defeated.

Now, Gu Dong's fighting skills were something it had never seen before. The man-killing bear was momentarily thrown off balance!

Qing Chen was shocked to see this.

The scene was like a 1.5-meter boxer in an Octagonal Cage throwing a 2-meter-plus heavyweight champion to the ground!

It turned out that Gu Dong's fighting wasn't just brute force, he also had skills, the Octagonal Cage fighting style inherited from the Knights!

Gu Dong's habits and physique were too deceptive. Who would have thought that such a burly, wild, and impulsive giant warrior would also know how to fight and use tactics?

With Gu Dong's intelligence and physique, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in the Forbidden Zone?

But Qing Chen felt a little pity. With Gu Dong's figure, even if he entered the professional league as a rookie, no one would bet against him. He couldn't help the Knights make money.

Eh, Qing Chen felt puzzled. Why did he immediately think of this?

On the battlefield, Gu Dong climbed onto the man-killing bear's back the moment it fell.

The next moment, he used his legs to clamp the man-killing bear's thick neck, punching the man-killing bear's head one after another: "Gu Dong!"

Do you surrender? Do you surrender? Do you surrender?

The man-killing bear roared and shook its body, trying to throw Gu Dong off, but no matter how hard it shook, Gu Dong was firmly attached to it.

In just one minute, Gu Dong hit the man-killing bear hundreds of times. Qing Chen could see the bear's mouth getting crooked.

"This is the difference in skill. The man-killing bear is too clumsy, it can't do anything against Gu Dong, it can't reach Gu Dong on its neck," Qing Chen sighed.

No one knew how many punches Gu Dong had thrown, but finally, the man-killing bear roared: "Roar!"

I surrender, I surrender, I surrender!

Qing Chen froze.

Something was wrong. Why did he understand the man-killing bear's language?

This was wrong!

He could understand Qingshan Falcon, Gu Dong, and Ding Dong because as a Knight, he had met the conditions to take over Forbidden Zone 00. So, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that Forbidden Zone 00 was his territory.

But the problem was that the man-killing bear didn't belong to Forbidden Zone 00. He shouldn't have understood what it said.

Moreover, when the man-killing bear was fighting the Chen Family army, it had roared countless times, but he hadn't understood a single one.

However, the moment Gu Dong subdued it, everything changed.

After the man-killing bear surrendered, it became a subject of Forbidden Zone 00.

Qing Chen suddenly looked at Ding Dong: "Every giant born in the Forbidden Zone has its own racial talent, right? Gu Dong's talent is to subdue any beast he defeats?"

Ding Dong was stunned: "Ding Dong!"

That's right.

Qing Chen understood. If Ding Dong's racial talent was telepathy, then Gu Dong's talent might be called the King of Beasts.

He turned to look at Gu Dong. The giant was already proudly riding on the man-killing bear, becoming a Giant Bear Knight.

In this battle, Gu Dong was beaten by the Chen Family for a long time, and the man-killing bear was also beaten for a long time. As a result, after fighting a nearly exhausted King of Beasts, Gu Dong ended up being the biggest winner of the battle.

Zhang Mengqian and others watched this scene, their scalps tingling.

Gu Dong was taller than Ding Dong, about 5 meters tall.

The man-killing bear, when standing, was more than ten meters tall, casting a huge shadow.

Such a giant, with a man-killing bear as a mount, who could stand it?!
