Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 777: Escape

“You’re headed to the town, right?” April asked earnestly.

Liu Liqun nodded. By now, the camp was nearly empty, most people had already ventured into the snowstorm.

April continued, “Okay, I know you lost your vehicle, but… do you have any food?”

Qing Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. The Tribunal wasn’t exactly a poor organization, constantly supplying the market with Genetic Potion; how could they appear so pitiful?

Liu Liqun seemed to be dealing with the Tribunal for the first time. After being dumbfounded for a while, he said, “The supplies in the camp were all taken by the Shadow Candidates, we don’t have any food on us either.”

Curious, Qing Chen asked, “Didn’t you bring your food?”

April sighed, “We encountered some wilderness people on the way; they didn’t have enough food stored for the winter, and there were over a dozen children in their group. We gave them the food we had.”

“You’d rather starve yourselves to help others?” Qing Chen muttered.

April earnestly replied, “It’s not about helping everyone, but helping the children; they are the future of humanity.”

By this time, Liu Liqun had finished packing up the remnants of the camp, laboriously tied up a bundle of tents, tied it around his waist with a rope, and dragged it outside.

While walking, Liu Liqun muttered, “Why are we so clueless? The big shot was right by us; here was a chance to cling to someone’s leg, and we missed it.”

Qing Chen laughed, “What ‘big leg’?”

“Well, the Qing Chen Inspector of course,” sighed Liu Liqun. “Only now do I understand why Sun Chu Ci and the others were so eager to work. Turns out the boss was right there. While they were feeding the boss, I was just in the way…”

Qing Chen laughed, “How could we, a bunch of stagehands, have thought of that?”

Liu Liqun said, “If I had another chance, I’d definitely cling to that ‘big leg’. I’ve heard about that Qing Chen Inspector; outsiders always talk about the entertainment industry’s gossip, and the big players in the entertainment circle like to discuss the conglomerates’ gossip. I’ve heard his name not once or twice on the dinner table, they say he’s one of the most powerful people in City No. 10. If we knew such a boss, would we still need to play the underdog every day?”
