Chapter 55

"What the hell is going on here?"

The woman's head was still a bit dizzy, but Cheng Yanfeng had already taken the tissue to wipe the dust off his face and said calmly, "Today... no one is allowed to talk about this matter."

"Yes."

The faces of the people twitched; they naturally understood what Cheng Yanfeng meant—referring to the ungraceful face-plant that looked like a dog eating dirt. If anyone dared to speak about it, that person would definitely be dead.

"Bro, what about those two people?"

The woman's gaze turned to a dozen meters away. After a sudden loud noise, when she came to her senses, those two people had already disappeared.

Cheng Yanfeng shook his head. To be honest, he still couldn't figure out what had happened and didn't know how to answer the woman.

"Tell me, are those two people or ghosts?"

"How should I know?"

"I think those two people were a bit eerie..."

The people whispered among themselves, and the more they discussed, the more uneasy they felt.

"Vroom..."

At this moment, a motorcycle's engine roared from a distance. Cheng Yanfeng gripped the handlebars and said solemnly, "Alright, the Storm Team is here. Everyone, get ready."

In another direction, "Chen Yang" and Li Ruide were fighting and chasing each other. With each leap, they suddenly entered a busy highway overpass.

"Rumble..."

"Whoosh..."

On one side, the wind from the speeding cars, and on the other, the two men leaping and fighting on the guardrails. The sky was filled with the sound of punches tearing through the air, creating a terrifying explosion that echoed continuously. With their right hands and components fully accelerated, they could leap over fifty meters in a second, making the series of explosions extend like a straight line along the highway.

In the heat of their battle, they completely ignored the consequences, but the shockwaves from their attacks instantly caused the windows of normally driving vehicles on the highway to shatter.

In just a few seconds on the highway, the two of them moved forward, causing the glass of over a dozen cars to shatter and fly, immediately leading to the most severe traffic accident in history!

"Boom..." Continuous rear-end collisions, and a long-distance air-conditioned bus, unable to brake in time, rolled 360 degrees in the middle of the highway due to its massive weight and inertia. Many passengers were thrown out, screaming, and crushed under the tires of the cars that followed.

The scene was unbearable to witness!

But the two of them did not stop.

No, to be precise, the component wanted to escape but was "bitten" by the right hand, forcing it to defend and counterattack.

"No, this will attract the attention of human society!"

"Chen Yang" stepped on the aluminum guardrail, bending it, yet still managed to observe the situation outside the fight. Attracting the attention of human society was not what he wanted, but he couldn't simply give up. The opportunity to attack the component while it was weak was not always available.

If he could defeat the component first, reabsorb its core, and then generate a new component, it would greatly assist him in dealing with the other two components in the future.

"Crack."

With one kick, he broke the guardrail, and his right hand suddenly extended, trying to trap Li Ruide. It was like a long whip breaking through the water, drawing an arc from an unimaginable angle and shooting straight at Li Ruide's forehead.

"Thud..."

Seeing that the whip was hard to resist, Li Ruide abandoned the defense of his forehead and reached out to grab it. The whip pierced through his palm, and blood spurted out instantly.

But because of this, Li Ruide, with his palm pierced, flipped his hand and grabbed the whip, perfectly neutralizing the attack aimed at his forehead.

However, "Chen Yang's" attacks were continuous. When the whip attack was blocked, the muscles in his left hand bulged like layers of steel plates. He sliced his hand straight at Li Ruide's neck, intending to sever it with one strike.

"Whoosh!"

Li Ruide let go and retreated, landing on a truck over ten meters away.

"Thud."

The air rolled, and "Chen Yang" came charging, his arms turning blue-black with blood, the muscles swelling several times over, like the arms of a mythological giant. He fanned through the thick air, explosively hammering down on Li Ruide's head!

Li Ruide's fists moved, and he roared, meeting this terrifying blow head-on.

In the split second of the four arms alternating, it seemed as if time had paused. The vehicles, people, and lights were all frozen in place.

In the next moment, the steel container on top of the truck was compressed downward at a speed of 0.001 seconds, and the surrounding air, like boiling, rolled and swept in all directions.

"Rumble..."

The large truck, not even as sturdy as a plastic toy, instantly shattered and disintegrated, like a high-speed moving bomb exploding. A piece of steel plate shot out, breaking the glass of a car on the other side of the barrier and decapitating the driver.

The terrifying force caused by the truck disintegrating turned the highway within a hundred meters into a second hell, just a few hundred meters away from the previous one.

Under such a powerful attack, Li Ruide's hands were completely torn apart, and a large hole was blasted in his chest, with flesh buds rapidly spreading to repair the tissue damage.

Logically, this was a good time to press the advantage.

But "Chen Yang" did not immediately act, as he had also suffered significant damage. After launching such an attack, he was counterattacked by Li Ruide, and his arms felt as if they were burned by fire, with large areas of cells dying.

He was also adjusting the energy within his body to expel the dead cells, accelerate blood flow, and rapidly divide healthy cells.

The two beings, who looked human on the outside but were non-human on the inside, stood on the highway ravaged by flames and scrap metal, each staring intently at the other.

There were no humans left at the scene, or rather, only some charred and crushed bodies under the cars. The nearest humans were hundreds of meters away, blocked by the massive accident.

No words were exchanged, and both were taking the time to recover.

However, after just a minute, "Chen Yang" caught a distant sound from the air.

"Quick, save the people..."

"Oh my God, it's so scary."

"120, this is the 10-kilometer mark on the East Sea to South Highway. A major traffic accident has occurred. Yes, I suspect it was a fuel tanker explosion..."

"Chen Yang" retracted his ears and decided to end the fight quickly. Just as he was about to make a move, Li Ruide's body began to dissolve, layer by layer, starting from the top, like a melting ice cream.

Not good!

"Chen Yang" took a step forward, instantly covering the distance of several meters to Li Ruide's side and delivered a punch.

"Thud."

Li Ruide's head exploded like a watermelon, with red and white brain matter scattering over ten meters away.

With one blow, he ended Li Ruide's life, but "Chen Yang" did not look particularly happy.

He scanned the surroundings, a bit disappointed, "To dare to escape from the host in its original form, the component with only primitive consciousness is quite bold."

The right hand, which had traveled through several star systems in deep space, had never encountered a situation where a component separated from its host. So, it didn't expect the component, with only primitive consciousness, to be so bold!

This parasitic life form, though it exhibited different powerful abilities after parasitizing different species, was extremely fragile in its original form!

Low temperatures and high temperatures would both cause fatal damage to the original form. This meant that the original form would be burned to death by flames of several hundred degrees, making it extremely vulnerable to the environment.

To avoid being captured and devoured by the right hand, the component risked the lethal environment and boldly separated from the host, which made the right hand both pleased and a bit disappointed.

Pleased because the component, though only with primitive consciousness and lacking much intelligence, showed a very strong survival ability.

Disappointed because the victory that was almost in hand was lost, causing some emotional fluctuation.

However...

How could a component with only primitive consciousness escape so easily?
