One Mind, Three Uses!

Li Cheng continued, "We all have tracking chips and miniature bombs on our necks; the God Generation can kill us at any time."

But Qing Chen didn't appreciate it. As if he were talking about what to have for lunch, he said, "I have destroyed the independent military system of A02 Base. They can't detonate the bombs in your necks. And I'm not discussing anything with you. In my capacity as Privy Council National Policy Advisor and an independent director of the Li Corporation, I am ordering you to continue fighting with me."

Independent director is the title that Li Xiurui gave Qing Chen, allowing him to sit at the deliberation table.

The title of Privy Council National Policy Advisor was given to Qing Chen by the current family head, Li Yunshou, after Qing Chen arrived in City No. 10, in order to facilitate Qing Chen's control over Li family intelligence personnel within the PCA.

Upon hearing this, Old Li, for reasons unknown, suddenly stood up straight like a javelin. "Li Cheng, Captain of the Third Department of the General Staff of the First Group Army, is willing to continue fighting!"

If the Li clan's caravan marching across the snowy plains resembled a pack of wolves, then the Qing clan was even more savage and brutal.

More than twenty genetically engineered warriors remained at the forefront...

The initial target of the Divine Era was the entire Qing clan's northern intelligence system, led by Qing Mu, so those arrested were of higher rank.

Of the original 300+ gene warriors captured, only 20-odd have been tortured to death.

The middle-aged man, Qing Ling, walked at the very front, like the indestructible bow of a nuclear-powered icebreaker.

As Qing Ling cleared away the snow, he said, "I've observed Inspector Qing Chen's condition and I'm certain that someone will come to rescue him this time. He's confident. But as you all know, in this godforsaken place, no one can carry over nine hundred of us. Even if the Qing Clan and the Divine Era launch a full-scale war, they won't be able to reach this place in less than three to five years."

Therefore, Qing Ling never hoped that anyone could take him away from the beginning.

When he saw that Qing Chen had stopped building the stone wall, he realized what he should do: not make Qing Chen make that difficult choice: whether or not to take them with him.

So.

Don't leave the toughest choices to others; make them for yourself.

If you have no hope for yourself, then leave the hope to others.

I'll go to the most dangerous places.

I'll take on the most difficult task.

As long as we can win in the end, I can dedicate everything to tomorrow.

This is what the soldiers of the Qing clan uphold.

In fact, there are differences within the Qing clan's forces. Some troops controlled by family factions have long been corrupted by power and money.

For example, the team led by Qing Huai, Shadow Candidate for the fourth branch of the family, was like that.

Other factions of the Qing clan also had their own armies.

Only the one branch passed down from generation to generation in the hands of the Shadow still holds onto some of the original things.

Qing Chen was unaware that this was why the old man on the mountaintop of the Ginkgo Manor, and Shadow, had entrusted him with the hearts and minds of the Qing Clan's intelligence organization and Shadow's direct subordinates.

Wherever this team is, that's where the Qing family is.

Apart from this, everything can be started over. The ruthless Qing family has never lacked the courage to start over.

At this moment, Qing Ling whispered, "That kid Li Cheng ran really fast. I was planning to drag the Li family down with me, but it seems like that won't work now."

He suddenly stopped, raising his right hand high into a fist. "This is it, set up defenses!"

This is a narrow Yamaguchi, where automated weapons can exert their least power.

Of course, even in this supposedly least powerful place, the gods could still kill them all.

Qing Ling loudly issued the order, "The old, weak, sick, and disabled, all of you step forward voluntarily. You will feign defense at this Yamaguchi and draw enemy fire. Is that alright?"

Of the 927 people, 421 came to Qing Ling on their own initiative. They were either too old, had frostbite on their knees, or were unable to participate in direct combat.

"No problem!" they responded loudly.

Qing Ling then addressed the others. "The remaining 27 gene warriors, and those who can fight, follow me out to the flanks. Once the firefight begins, we'll charge from the flanks to their rear, killing as many as we can. Don't let our brothers from Yamaguchi die in vain! Understand?"

"Receive!"

This is a very rudimentary strategy: to trade half the lives of the people for a chance to charge forward.

Otherwise, a group of unarmed people would have no chance of breaking through the enemy's firepower.

But neither those who were sent to their deaths nor those who were charging into battle said anything, because everyone knew very well that this was not a question of who to sacrifice or who to save.

Everyone will die.

Qing Ling lifted the stone in his hand and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "This is the poorest battle I've ever fought."

Someone nearby asked, "Sir, those guys from the God Era are heavily armed, and they might even have been given Tier 1 gene serums. Even if our few hundred men charge out, we can probably only kill five or six. The casualty ratio is way too high."

Qing Ling glanced at him. "So we're not going to fight? The people who came to rescue Qing Chen will definitely want to take down these bastards from the Divine Era. If we kill five or six of them, won't they have to kill five or six fewer?"

Soon, more than 400 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in the Yamaguchi built simple defensive fortifications and then collected thousands of handy stones.

A group of people hid behind a trench, laughing and teasing each other. What kind of era is this? They're still using stones to fight.

Just as they were joking around, the Shindai army arrived, totaling 1,600 Shindai soldiers, and split into two groups.

One group went to track down the Li family, while the other group came to track down the Qing family.

Qing Ling quietly lay prone in the snow, only showing half of his head as he observed.

However, he was stunned the next second. He saw someone in the God Era army holding a black crystal screen.

Gu Qing Ling recognized this thing; it was a positioning system.

The locators and miniature bombs on the back of their necks had completely exposed them to this crystal panel.

In the past, this kind of device was used after the Winter Hunt, and Jindai relied on it to capture all the prisoners hiding in the snowfield.

The early Winter Hunt will not make this thing easier to hunt.

Qing Ling breathed heavily and whispered, "I understand. This time, the Divine Era isn't just going to Winter Hunt; they really want to wipe us all out... We're doomed. They know we're lying in ambush here."

"What to do?"

Qing Ling was silent for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "What else can we do?"

He composed himself, then got up from the snow and said, "Charge!"

With that, he grabbed the stone and rushed out, followed by hundreds of others.

In truth, Qing Ling felt that he was not heroic at all. It was really pathetic that a martyr didn't even have a decent weapon in his hand.

But it's not shameful.

Qing Ling roared, "Success doesn't have to be mine! Charge!"

But at that very moment, Qing Ling suddenly heard someone shouting "Charge!" coming from the 3 o'clock direction!

"Kill!" someone roared, getting closer and closer!

Qing Ling turned his head and was shocked to see the familiar Old Li, who was carrying an automatic rifle, wearing the winter clothes of the God Era crookedly, and then launched a charge against the God Era troops.

The more than 800 members of the Li family charged out, yelling, with Old Li shouting, "Qing Ling, I've come to save you!"

The eight hundred-plus men formed a combat formation that surged forward like a tidal wave, creating an inspiring torrent of steel.

A torrent of fury!

The Shindai forces originally intended to ambush and kill Qing Ling and his group, but they did not expect that so many people would rush out from another direction, and that they would also have armed forces.

They glanced at the tattered uniforms worn by Old Li and his men, and immediately realized that another team had met with misfortune; these were the uniforms of their God Era!

On Old Li's side, as they charged, they relayed orders. "Don't waste ammunition, wait until you're within range before firing!"

He felt as if he had become twenty years younger, and his life, after nineteen years of cold winter, was once again welcoming a long-awaited summer!

A summer in full bloom!

At that moment, Qing Chen controlled Kamiyo Yunzhi, Takahashi Izumiike, and the other two, each of whom had an automatic rifle in their hands.

The three men fired rhythmically, advancing step by step.

The accurate firing range of an automatic rifle is 250 meters. Beyond that distance, it becomes very difficult to hit a person, and you can only rely on luck.

Even from a distance of 600 meters, Qing Chen had already manipulated Kamiyo Yunzhi and Takahashi Izumiike to pull the trigger together.

Old Li was completely stunned after just one glance, because every time these three pulled the trigger, a soldier on the other side would fall down.

It was as if all three of them had an absolute feel for guns!

Not only were enemies shot down, but drones flying at high speed in the sky were also shot down as well.

Qing Chen paid no attention to other people's gazes; his brain was racing, calculating.

Wind speed, humidity, angle—data points gathered in my mind, forming answers.

Every calculation result represents a human life.

He was calculating three trajectories at the same time!

This is why he has been practicing the 3x3 Rubik's Cube with both hands ever since his return. As the number of Puppet Master he can control increases, he needs to learn to multitask!

Qing Chen never does anything useless; everything he does has an answer.

This time, he was going to force himself to maintain absolute gun control, no matter how many people he controlled!

He had waited far too long for this battle.

Li Cheng and Qing Ling have waited too long.

Qing Mu had waited far too long.

At this moment, the officer of the Shindai unit on the opposite side realized something was wrong, lost all interest in hunting, and hurriedly pressed the detonation button on the crystal plate.

However, after pressing the button, the crystal panel did not display a message indicating that the explosion was successful. Instead, a line of white text flashed. "Daytime Monopoly greets everyone."

Yi did more than just that. When Qing Chen was fighting another unit, that unit tried countless times to call for reinforcements, but nothing got out.

I promised Ren Xiaosu I wouldn't kill anyone, but what I'm doing now isn't killing anyone...

That's right, it wasn't murder.

She had always envied Qing Chen's cool demeanor when he said "Hello everyone during the day," and now she was finally able to do it herself!

Happy!
