Chapter 53

"Officer Li, what’s going on inside?"

The temporary supervisor of the construction team still remembered the name of the police officer Li Ruidé and hurriedly went forward to ask.

But the supervisor immediately felt something was wrong. Why did this police officer remain motionless with his head down after hearing his words?

"Officer Li, what’s wrong with you?"

"Ahh... y-you, you."

Still puzzled, Li Ruidé slowly raised his head, which startled the temporary supervisor.

His deep, lifeless eyes and expressionless face did not look like those of a normal person.

The supervisor felt a sense of foreboding and couldn’t help but take a few steps back, wanting to call his colleagues behind him, but suddenly his vision blurred, and Li Ruidé’s figure, several meters away, vanished!

What’s going on?

The supervisor was horrified and was about to turn and run when his vision went black, and he felt a sharp pain in his neck, losing his life.

"Bang."

Casually discarding the limp corpse on the ground, Li Ruidé’s gaze turned to the remaining few workers and walked toward them.

"Ah, run!"

"Help, call the police!"

"Crack... crack..."

It was hard to imagine that a human neck could be broken so easily, like a chopstick, some even twisted like pretzels, with blood mixed with foam and trachea fragments gushing out of the corpses' mouths.

The scene was gruesome!

Chen Yang, hiding behind a pile of building materials, withdrew his gaze, feeling a chill in his heart. What the hell is this monster? It kills people as easily as squashing an ant.

He had stopped moving and observed the situation when he heard the cries of terror from the tunnel, not expecting the few police officers who went in to make no sound, and then one of them came out and started killing people!

What was most incomprehensible to him was that he was currently in a state of overdrive, his eyes capturing images at a speed far beyond that of a normal person, yet he couldn’t even clearly see the police officer’s movements.

Too fast, too fast, is this humanly possible?

"Get out of the way!"

Chen Yang, still in thought, didn’t expect his right hand to suddenly come to life, extending out to grab a roller, pulling him up quickly.

"Bang!"

What!

Chen Yang’s face changed dramatically. The police officer had suddenly appeared where he had just been!

Seemingly surprised that Chen Yang could dodge, Li Ruidé, who had lost his mind, his expressionless face suddenly twisted, his eyes flashing with a predatory rage when he saw Chen Yang’s right hand.

Without needing an explanation from his right hand, Chen Yang already understood. This person was a component of his right hand, a pitiful human being parasitized like himself.

"What should we do? Commander Luosi?"

Chen Yang looked at Li Ruidé nervously, adopting a defensive stance.

"Don’t worry, I’m going to temporarily take control of your body. You need to relax..."

As soon as the right hand finished speaking, Chen Yang’s body trembled, his tense eyes instantly dimming, becoming abnormally calm.

"Snap!"

Li Ruidé took a step, the gravel under his feet scattering in all directions. He leaped up like a black eagle, his hands reaching out to grab "Chen Yang."

This grab was incredibly fast. Despite the distance of at least fifteen meters, it took only a blink of an eye for Li Ruidé to cover the distance, aiming to grab "Chen Yang’s" neck. If he succeeded, he could immediately tear out the trachea and break the neck, just as he had done to the others.

For a human, such speed was impossible to react to, but for the right hand controlling Chen Yang, it was not. However, "Chen Yang" did not dodge. Instead, he aimed for the hands reaching out, colliding with them head-on, engaging Li Ruidé in a direct confrontation!

"Snap!"

Flesh met flesh, the air unable to displace in time, causing a loud explosion as the air vibrated.

Two extraterrestrial beings, both parasitizing human bodies, displayed strength far beyond human limits. If this strike had hit a black bear, it would have left two palm prints.

After the initial clash, Li Ruidé used the force to separate, roaring and crouching, his legs springing forward, the ground cracking like tofu, leaving two footprints several centimeters deep. He then launched a palm strike at "Chen Yang’s" heart, creating a vortex of air.

"Chen Yang" was prepared. As Li Ruidé pounced, his right hand extended like a spiked whip, transforming into a black shadow and striking Li Ruidé at a speed even faster than his.

"Bang, bang..."

Li Ruidé tumbled, crashing into building materials, causing a loud noise.

In the next moment,

"Crash!"

Buried under the building materials, Li Ruidé threw a heavy steel beam aside and stood up, staring intently at "Chen Yang."

In an instant, the two, over fifty meters apart, vanished, the air filled with the sound of sonic booms. The entire construction site was shaken, even the prefabricated houses over a hundred meters away trembled from the shock waves.

Their speed was so fast that the human eye could not follow, only catching glimpses of their movements during brief pauses. Wherever "Chen Yang" and Li Ruidé passed, the ground was plowed like a field, gravel and dirt flying everywhere, leaving deep marks on the roller’s steel body.

"Bang, thud..."

Two parked police cars had their windows shattered by the shock waves. "Chen Yang" flashed over, stepping on the hood of a police car, causing it to tilt forward, and then launched himself like a spring, increasing his strength, his palm cutting through the air, aiming for Li Ruidé’s forehead.

"Thud."

Li Ruidé couldn’t dodge in time, only managing to shift his body slightly, his shoulder being struck by "Chen Yang’s" palm, bones cracking.

This was due to Li Ruidé’s full potential being unleashed after being parasitized. If a normal person had been hit, their entire arm would have been severed from the shoulder.

Li Ruidé, feeling no pain and showing no retreat, continued to attack, using the most primitive hunting techniques to try to devour "Chen Yang."

After this round of combat, the right hand had a better understanding. Under normal circumstances, its other three components were stronger than it. However, after a long journey through space and a sudden crisis, it and the three components were severely injured.

So its guess was correct. Taking advantage of the components’ recovery period, it was actually in the upper hand, steadily pressing them down!

Continuing like this, it wouldn’t even need to use weapons to kill the component’s host and extract it!

Strike while the iron is hot. Not only do Earthlings understand this principle, but the right hand, an extraterrestrial, also deeply understood it, having survived encounters with over a dozen alien civilizations during its space travels.

"Chen Yang’s" feet moved, the human body’s functions enhanced several times over, almost like teleportation. He covered the distance of several meters in an instant, twisting his wrist to grab Li Ruidé’s neck.

In a flash, Li Ruidé pressed his palm down to block "Chen Yang’s" grab, his other hand transforming into a "hammer" and slamming forward, aiming for "Chen Yang’s" stomach.

No matter how much the host’s body was enhanced, it couldn’t withstand a direct hit to the vulnerable stomach. "Chen Yang" understood this, swaying his feet to avoid Li Ruidé’s charge and maintaining a distance.
