Long Time No See (Bonus Chapter for FFF Gougougou's Golden Alliance)

"Enemy troops are fleeing in the 3 o'clock direction!"

"A small resistance was encountered at the 5 o'clock position; the enemy has not yet collapsed!"

"Fire cover!" Old Li roared. "First Company, advance in tactical formation! Second Company, you have 10 minutes to flank them from the rear. I'm only giving you one chance!"

Old Li spoke, he said that he had already caught up with the prey by relying on the strength of the gene warrior, but he was just hanging on the prey and did not rush to give the attack command.

They were prisoners and had no modern communication systems, so they could only communicate by shouting.

Old Li was so excited that he didn't even notice that his voice had become hoarse.

Only after the Second Company had advanced through the snow-covered forest to the enemy's flank and rear did Old Li roar, "First Company, open fire!"

However, just as they drew the enemy's attention, Old Li led the retreat, moving out of the enemy's effective firing range.

This extreme sense of distance can only be possessed by veterans, like boxers who have fought for a long time in the ring.

He had just retreated when the Second Company caught the Kamishiro soldiers off guard.

Old Li wasn't idle either; he continued to shout, "First Company, follow me to the 2 o'clock direction and launch a pincer attack!"

The two forces crossed over each other, like a pair of steel pincers clamping down on the throats of the Gods' soldiers.

The people here were once the most elite soldiers in the Federation Group Army.

They have to go through a military-wide skills competition to be selected for the intelligence agency...

Old Li hadn't fought in nineteen years, but as he lay on that cold bed, he recalled everything he had learned every night.

Nineteen years, more than six thousand nights, he has participated in more than six thousand battles in his dreams.

Today, Qing Chen's appearance has awakened everything that had been dormant in his soul.

Li Cheng felt as if the past nineteen years had been sealed away, as if he were dead, and only today had he finally come back to life.

At this very moment, Qing Chen was reaping the battlefield in another direction. Qing Ling followed beside him, watching his godlike slaughter, and felt that this was the legendary emotionless war machine.

In fact, things were much easier for Qing Chen.

After killing the three Chosen One from the Outer World, these ordinary soldiers couldn't even ignite Qing Chen's fighting spirit. All he did was eliminate them completely.

These soldiers from the Age of Gods came to hunt "unarmed people," carrying only basic equipment such as drones and automatic rifles, but they never expected to encounter monsters in this desolate snowfield!

They thought the pig in the sty was a pig to be slaughtered at will, never imagining that if it weren't for the fact that this person hadn't returned to take everyone with him, he would have immediately started a killing spree.

Li Cheng also needed to control the effective firing distance, but for Qing Chen, this was not a problem at all. The range of the God Era soldiers was 250 meters, while his range was 600 meters. These were not even the same way of fighting.

That's a bit too much.

As they marched, Qing Ling picked up a gun from beside the corpse of a soldier from the Age of Gods and wanted to fire it as well.

The distance was simply too great. Putting aside whether he could even aim properly, several times Qing Ling had just spotted a Divine Era soldier and was about to take a shot.

But before he could even get a shot at it, the god-era soldier had already fallen to the ground.

Qing Ling and his men couldn't kill as fast as Qing Chen!

So, Qing Ling and the others followed behind Qing Chen, like a group of lackeys who only needed to shout "666" and didn't have to do anything.

The more this happened, the more excited and relieved Qing Ling felt.

Come to think of it, this Inspector Qing Chen must have posed a great threat to the Age of Gods, just like Qing Mu did back then, which is why he was arrested and brought here!

As he pondered, Qing Ling suddenly realized that he hadn't been back for too long and wondered how many of Qing Clan's intelligence agents were supporting Inspector Qing Chen just as they had adored Qing Mu back then.

At this moment, Qing Chen stopped and calmly said, "Go and strip these soldiers of their clothes and put them on. Take away their individual rations and their weapons and equipment."

Qing Ling, who was in his forties, quickly agreed, "Okay, we can finish peeling it in ten minutes!"

Qing Chen originally preferred close combat because it was more enjoyable, but he later discovered that after close combat, the God Era soldiers' clothes would be torn, and wearing them would make them look like Old Li and the others, looking like traitors in a bizarre and incongruous manner.

Therefore, Qing Chen switched to firearms...

When Qing Ling and the other Qing clan intelligence agents stripped off the Shindai military uniforms, they all gasped in shock.

They squatted in the snow and looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

This is because all the dead soldiers of the Age of Gods were either shot in the center of the forehead or shot in the back of the head.

When an automatic rifle hits a target at a range of 600 meters, the kinetic energy is not that great, so the bullet is lodged in the brain, with only a little blood seeping out.

The uniform wasn't dirty at all!

Qing Ling was utterly shocked. If it were just hitting the target every time at a distance of 600 meters, that would be one thing.

This Young Inspector was able to control two puppets simultaneously and hit their targets with every shot.

If this were the limit, that would be one thing, but the other side was still able to headshot them with every shot, leaving them with their complete thermal underwear!

Incredible skill!

Qing Ling glanced at Qing Chen furtively, while someone whispered, "What kind of marksmanship is that? We haven't been back for over ten years. Is this some kind of military genius that Shadow trained in some Group Army...?"

After the battle, Li Cheng led the Li family's troops to join him.

When he saw Qing Ling's complete military uniform, his eyes lit up. He looked at Qing Chen and exclaimed, "Sir, why are their uniforms so intact?!"

This is not just about being intact; each piece of military uniform looks brand new!

Li Cheng looked at himself again. His military uniform jacket was crooked and soaked with blood. Not only was it a bit drafty, but it was also a bit leaky!

The key point is that in this place where the temperature is below minus forty degrees Celsius, the soldiers of the God Era generally wear three layers: an outer coat, an inner lining, and thermal underwear.

When Qing Chen cut the God Era soldier, he cut all three pieces at the same time!

Qing Ling chuckled and said, "Look at what you're saying. He's the military genius of our Qing family, so of course he'd leave us complete clothes."

Old Li's eyes widened like a bull's. "Bah! This is our Li family's future imperial tutor, current independent director, and Privy Council National Policy Advisor!"

Qing Ling tried to widen her eyes, but couldn't. "This is from the Qing family. Is your surname Qing?"

Qing Chen looked at Qing Ling, then at Li Cheng. How did these two get involved?!

He said, "Sorry, I didn't think things through during the battle, so you'll have to make do for now. Qing Ling, keep your coats intact and give your thermal underwear to Li Cheng and the others. Please bear with it."

Upon hearing Qing Chen's apology, Li Cheng's first reaction was one of panic. "You misunderstood. I didn't mean to blame you. We're fine now, we're still wearing the winter clothes from the prison ward."

The soldiers on Qing Ling's side had already started taking off their clothes. "It's our duty to obey the boss's orders, so hurry up and put them back on."

At this point, Qing Ling had already come to regard Qing Chen as her boss from the bottom of her heart.

For the past nineteen years, this position has always belonged to Qing Mu, and no one has been able to replace him.

Things have changed now.

He believed that Li Cheng thought the same way. Although Qing Chen 'Qing Chen surname was not Li, his identity within the Li family spoke volumes.

Qing Chen said, "Right now, everything is about surviving and getting out of here. Don't be sentimental."

Qing Ling and Li Cheng probably understood Qing Chen's style of doing things. Li Cheng said, "Understood, boss."

Qing Chen asked, "Do you have any information about the military deployment in the rear of the Divine Era?"

"Yes," Li Cheng raised his hand and said, "I did the most work for Kamiyo Yunzhi, so I heard some bits and pieces of information. There are two Field Division within a radius of 600 kilometers. These two Field Division are different from the front-line troops. They are mainly responsible for clearing the wilderness, using the Wilderness People to train soldiers, and letting the greenhorns who have never killed anyone kill the Wilderness People."

After listening, Qing Chen nodded. He glanced at the surrounding landmarks to determine his direction and then headed south.

Li Cheng and Qing Ling exchanged a glance, both wondering what their new boss was up to.

More than a thousand soldiers followed and marched south, heading straight for the Central Plains.

This time, Li Cheng didn't say that it was fate for anyone to fall behind.

Previously, it was for the sake of battle, but now it's because Qing Chen has instructed that not a single one can be missing.

It was cold in the snow, but none of the soldiers complained.

After Qing Chen noticed their difficult journey, he specifically instructed them, "Those who are physically weak can carry the weapons and loads on Kamiyo Yunzhi and Takahashi Izumiike. They are both experts and can carry them... By the way..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone from the Li and Qing families saw that Kamiyo Yunzhi and Takahashi Izumiike suddenly knelt down and kowtowed nine times.

Like wishing someone a Happy New Year in advance.

Only after doing all this did Qing Chen continue forward.

In this battle, Kamiyo Yunzhi were the most horrified, terrified, and miserable.

Not only were they controlled and deprived of their freedom, but they were also forced to serve as guns and kowtow to others!

Kamiyo Yunzhi suspected that if Qing Chen hadn't been in a hurry, he might have made him kowtow all the way back to the Central Plains, kowtowing the whole way!

After walking for several hours, Qing Ling and Li Cheng finished their individual rations and finally couldn't help but sidle up to Qing Chen: "Boss, are we sure we're going this way?"

Qing Chen nodded. "Mm."

Li Cheng said, "I'm not questioning your decision, boss, I just want to share my analysis: The changes at A02 Base have definitely been known to the Kamishiro Corporation, and they will most likely send those two Field Division to encircle us. If we head south, we'll run right into them."

Qing Chen nodded. "Yes, I know. Of course, you can also share your thoughts."

Qing Ling chimed in, "How about we head north? The Shenmu River in the north is frozen over. We can go to the Frozen Land north, where some barbarians are said to still exist, but very few remain. After crossing the Shenmu River, we can migrate westward, bypassing the Divine Era and Kashima from the north, and circle back to the Central Plains from the Forbidden Zone 001. Although the journey is long, the chances of survival should be higher than if we directly confront two Field Division."

Qing Chen glanced at Qing Ling. If they continued like this, it would truly be a 25,000-li Long March...

But in terms of hardship and distance, they are indeed about the same.

However, Qing Chen did not intend to leave that way, because the people behind him had been imprisoned for more than ten years and could no longer withstand a long journey.

He continued south, Qing Ling and Li Cheng asked in confusion, "Boss, are we really not worried about these two Field Division?"

Qing Chen climbed a snow-covered hill and stood in the cold wind, gazing south. "Actually, if Kamiyo Yunzhi hadn't changed his plans, I would have acted four days later. Now I can only gamble, gamble that those people will come."

He glanced behind him again.

Those weathered faces, yet full of hope.

These people may one day become Qing Chen's first core team.

Some of them are skilled in command, some are skilled in intelligence infiltration, and some have personally built a mature intelligence network.

In the future, no matter where Qing Chen goes, most of these people will become Qing Chen support.

These people cannot die, and they cannot run into those two Field Division, but Qing Chen chooses to trust them.

He believed that some people had already arrived, but they had not yet met each other.

Qing Chen continued, "No, it's not a gamble. I believe they will come. Let's go, continue south."

Qing Ling and Li Cheng exchanged a glance. They realized that there must be someone special who would come to rescue Inspector Qing Chen, someone whom Inspector Qing Chen could trust unconditionally.

At this moment, Qing Chen seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at the sky.

He suddenly burst into laughter, a truly radiant laugh.

It was because in the sky and among the clouds, a giant bird spread its wings, blotting out the sun.

It's been a long time, Azure Falcon.

Thanks to FFF Gou Gou Gou for the golden alliance. I know the debt has not been paid off yet, but I will pay it back slowly when my legs heal...
