Rules Reappear! (Bonus Chapter for Penguin Golden Alliance)

Countdown.

The 1st and 2nd platoons of the field company followed closely behind Qing Chen. They bypassed the minefield they had set up and once again caught up with the boy by virtue of their massive mechanical limbs.

The soldiers knew that Commander Cao Wei's judgment was correct; the boy was indeed an ordinary person.

They are all rigorously trained soldiers, so they have the best understanding of what kind of physical condition people of different levels can exhibit.

The boy was already panting as he ran, his steps were no longer as precise, and his body began to sway due to the uneven ground.

But even when faced with a boy of such ordinary physical ability, the soldiers of the field company were still filled with fear.

Because when the opponent has more rules, it's as if the entire Forbidden Zone is helping them fight.

If the two sides were to fight face to face, each soldier would be confident of killing the boy in front of him who was almost exhausted.

But they could not overcome the rules of the Forbidden Zone.

They were determined to observe the boy's actions carefully, and do exactly what he did, without making any mistakes.

Otherwise, the previous case of the Mimosa killing might be repeated.

At this moment when everyone was filled with fear of the rules, the boy ahead, as he crossed a certain area, suddenly began to sing. "Under the bridge in front of the gate, a flock of ducks swam by..."

The soldiers in the first and second platoons, who were chasing behind, looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. "A flock of ducks swam by under the bridge in front of the gate. Come quickly and count them: two, four, six, seven, eight..."

The tense atmosphere of the jungle chase suddenly turned absurd.

However, this place is already the intersection of the "heartland" and the "edge" of the Forbidden Zone.

In an instant, a huge willow tree suddenly appeared in the heart of the area, stretching out its tough branches and vines, which swept all the soldiers in the first and second rows who had sung songs into the heart of the area.

The blood-red willow branches were wrapped around the soldier's waist again and again, and then suddenly tightened.

The soldiers' skin was constricted until it bled, and then the skin began to crack inch by inch until the willow branches severed their abdomens, leaving their blood and internal organs to pour onto the willow roots and nourish the entire land.

Countless red ants emerged from the ground.

This was the last gift Qing Chen left them, a gift called rules.

"You can't sing along when others are singing."

Qing Chen first used the bizarre Rule Killing.

They also took advantage of the Mimosa's terrifying side, ruthlessly reaping its lives.

He has been controlling everyone's rhythm with his almost godlike foresight.

Even though he was still very weak, he made almost the ultimate use of the rules.

The teacher once asked him why he made the throat-slitting gesture.

Qing Chen replied: I'm afraid they'll run away.

But he actually had another purpose in doing this: to create a confident and mysterious image.

He wanted to convince the other party that he was omniscient and possessed all the rules of the Forbidden Zone.

The moment this image becomes deeply ingrained in everyone's mind, he can make everyone watching him subconsciously imitate him!

Dominate their instinctive reactions!

The true intentions are revealed when the map is unrolled.

Cao Wei could command his army to hunt like a pack of wolves.

Qing Chen can also design a series of interconnected shackles and traps.

They constantly switch between the roles of hunter and prey, like a game, but the loser must die.

At this moment, only two soldiers survived. Terrified by the scene, they turned and ran away from the Forbidden Zone.

Before Cao Wei could even set off, he could only hear the soldiers' wails and screams through his earpiece on the communication channel.

He stood there, stunned. Because of the distance, Cao Wei and Qing Huai couldn't even figure out what rules the boy had used to kill those soldiers!

Strange.

Fear.

Qing Huai felt that this emotion was taking over his mind for the first time.

Even though the other person was just an ordinary person, he seemed like a ghost that had lived in this Forbidden Zone for a long time.

Cao Wei remained calm and asked over the communication channel, "Is anyone still alive? Tell me what happened?!"

A soldier cried out in fear, "Sir, this is Zhang Jing. We don't know what happened either. That boy suddenly started singing, and we suspected he was going to use the Rule Killing again, so we sang along. Sir, they're all dead, except for me and Liu Shun, everyone's dead."

"Switch to the backup communication channel and meet me in area A39. Anyone who dares to run away will face a military court," Cao Wei said, wanting to find out what was going on.

A short while later, two soldiers, still shaken, came to their superior.

Qing Huai coldly asked, "What song did he lead you in singing? Sing it for me!"

The soldier was on the verge of tears. "Sir, I dare not sing it! Everyone who has sung it has died!"

"You two and that kid are all right, aren't you?" Qing Huai pulled out a dagger and held it to the soldier's neck. "Sing! If you sing until you die, I'll give your families a settlement fee!"

The soldier sang through tears. "Under the bridge in front of the gate, a flock of ducks swam by..."

Cao Wei: "..."

Qing Huai: "..."

The two soldiers did sing, but not a single note was in tune, and neither of them was in any trouble.

Cao Wei suddenly realized that the two soldiers had only escaped death because they sang off-key!

Qing Huai also realized the reason. He and Cao Wei looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

Who would have thought that singing off-key could one day save a life!

At this moment, Cao Wei threw all the useless items in his bag onto the ground, and then said in the communication channel, "7th Platoon, return to A39 and rendezvous with Commander Qing Huai. Protect him."

After saying that, he said to Qing Huai, "Sir, the Shadow Struggle is of paramount importance. I, Cao Wei, know that if you return empty-handed this time, I will never be able to recover. Moreover, you have always treated me well. I will go and kill him for you now. I hope your promise will stand by you."

Qing Huai warmly grasped Cao Wei's hands. "Brother Cao Wei, I'm entrusting you with this. My promise will always stand by me."

"Hmm," Cao Wei turned around and strode into the woods.

Qing Huai's expression gradually turned cold. He knew very well why Cao Wei was only now willing to make a move.

Previously, this veteran soldier had been following the team at a leisurely pace, and even when Qing Chen was forced into the minefield, the other party was always directing from the rear.

Cao Wei knew that the boy had mastered more rules, so he wanted to use the soldiers of the field company to test out the rules before making his move.

This is a more reliable approach.

It must be said that Cao Wei's ability to survive 17 encirclements in the wilderness was not accidental, but inevitable.

He's a smart person, just a little too smart.

At this moment, Qing Chen was panting as he looked at the large willow tree.

Bloody, cruel, and powerful.

These are all the adjectives Qing Chen used to describe the big willow tree.

But for some reason, when he saw such a bloody scene, he felt no fear at all.

Moreover, he didn't seem afraid of the big willow tree at all. Instead, he walked towards it little by little, picked up an earphone not far from it, and listened to it, but there was no sound inside.

It seems that the other party has cautiously changed the communication channel.

Qing Chen threw down the earplug and crushed it, then rummaged through the other usable equipment.

Just as he was preparing to step back into the darkness of the Forbidden Zone.

A willow branch gently patted his shoulder.
