Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Successful Escape

Su Jin’s eyes lit up, “Just like when we went to collect the car?”

Nie Qing nodded, but that was at night when they weren’t discovered, and now it’s still daytime, unsure if it would be successful.

“Hide? What do you mean?” Huang Yunxiang asked, puzzled, wondering if it meant invisibility.

“Hiding Technique, a technique from Qimen Dunjia, requires only the use of a formation to hide all of us,” Nie Qing explained. He had used this same technique last time he went with Su Jin to collect the armored vehicle from the parking lot.

“Master, just go ahead,” Lu Hao said.

They temporarily had no other options, otherwise, they might have ended up fighting, which they absolutely could not afford for everyone’s safety.

“Uncle Nie, don’t worry, they won’t discover it,” Su Jin also said.

Although she couldn’t guarantee it 100%, she had great confidence in Nie Qing’s formation. Moreover, with Xing Taining’s cover and considering this was the best available method, she didn’t want to confront that group of people. As the saying goes, commoners shouldn’t clash with officials. Although they planned to develop in S city, there was always a chance they would encounter them again, so the best plan was to escape.

Having said that, Su Jin secretly tore a huge hole in the fence at the back of the gas station with vines, creating a diversion to make them think they had escaped through the fence.

“So you know the art of Qimen Dunjia too!” Xue Wanyi, already considering Nie Qing a senior, was surprised to find out the elder had other skills.

“Uncle Nie, no wonder Su Jin always says you are a master. Can you really hide so many of us?” Although not disbelieving Nie Qing, Lin Xiuyuan found the whole thing quite fantastical as he had only seen such things on TV and in movies.

Nie Qing smiled proudly, nodded, and then began explaining to Lu Hao, “Qimen Dunjia, where ‘Qi’ represents the three odd numbers, ‘Men’ the eight doors, ‘Dun’ means hiding, and ‘Jia’ refers to the heavenly stems of Jia. Today, I will use this ‘Dun’ from the art, which is the Hiding Technique. Disciple, watch carefully!”

Nie Qing walked towards four different directions, at each spot muttering words they couldn’t understand, and finally, when Nie Qing stepped back, he and the others had vanished.

Two hours later, Deputy Zhang and Xing Taining arrived with a few men at the resting area, intending to ask for their intents.

The resting area was completely empty. Where had all those people gone?

Deputy Zhang also checked the three vehicles but found no one inside.

‘Deputy, there’s an exit here!’ one of the team members discovered the exit at the fence and immediately reported.

Deputy Zhang gritted his teeth with frustration. He couldn’t believe such a large group of people could escape right under his watch. He said to Xing Taining and the others behind him, ‘Everyone, listen up! Pursue them!’

“Yes!”

Xing Taining was still a bit skeptical. Did they really just leave like that? Leave behind their three vehicles? He had planned to create some chaos on the road while taking Su Jin and the others back, to give them a chance to escape. He didn’t expect they would manage to get away so quickly.

But he dared not delay deliberately in front of Deputy Zhang, so he quickly led a team through the opened exit in the fence and pursued.

Deputy Zhang led the remaining people to encircle from the highway, refusing to believe that these people could fly!

After everyone had left, Nie Qing dared to cancel the Hiding Technique.
