As Xiang Fei roared like a lion, the two black shadows on the ground that were rushing towards him seemed to hit some barrier, and collapsed the moment before touching Xiang Fei's shadow. The thick black shadows were shaken into small black afterimages, and retreated back into the shadows of the gold and silver cufflinks.
Xu Jin and Tang Qing were frightened by this scene. They screamed and hid behind Zheng Yubai. Zheng Yubai was also a little scared. Although he was not afraid of fighting for his life, this supernatural power was too weird. Although he was also an alien, his four eyes and double pupils had no offensive power. The ability to slow down time could only be activated occasionally. It was okay as a defensive measure, but he was not sure if he could really fight against an alien with strong offensive power.
An expression of surprise appeared on the faces of the men with gold and silver cufflinks. They all took a step back and looked at Xiang Fei in disbelief.
Xiang Fei roared like a lion and said in a deep voice, "Get out of here quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
The gold and silver cufflinks hesitated for a moment, and the gold cufflinks said, "I didn't realize you really have such strong superpowers. In fact, we don't necessarily have to be enemies."
Silver Cufflinks continued, "You have such superpowers, why would you be content to be an ordinary person? Join our organization, and you will get everything you want, money, beautiful women, the power to do whatever you want, whatever you want we can give you."
Xiang Fei's body shook unconsciously, and Zheng Yubai looked at his back and said inwardly, "Not good." It was already spring, and people in Jinghai didn't wear many clothes. Xiang Fei was wearing a shirt with a thin coat on top, and now there were sweat stains on the back of the coat.
Through the shirt, soaking the coat, how much sweat does it take? Zheng Yubai knew it was not good. Xiang Fei's roar was indeed powerful, but he was afraid that it had caused side effects. Judging from the current situation, he was just trying to hold on. If the gold and silver cufflinks attacked again, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist at all.
"I won't cooperate with you. I'll give you another ten seconds. If you don't get out of here, you'll regret it." Xiang Fei said calmly. Although the sweat stains on his back were getting larger and larger, his voice was still steady, so that the gold and silver cufflinks could not hear any flaws.
Apparently, Xiang Fei's demonstration just now shocked the gold and silver cufflinks. They hesitated and slowly retreated. The gold cufflinks took out a business card from his bosom while retreating and said with a smile: "You can think about it slowly. You have to know that if we don't make good use of such talents, wouldn't it be a waste of our lives?" He put the business card on the ground and said: "If you have thought it over, you can call me."
"I'll think about it. You can go." Xiang Fei said. His body was shaking a little. The sweat stains on his back continued to expand. Finally, some sweat flowed down and dripped onto the ground.
The slight sound did not escape the ears of the people wearing gold and silver cufflinks. They looked at him in confusion. Xiang Fei tried hard to open his mouth to scare them again, but he could not hold it back any longer. Drops of sweat dripped down like a faucet, wetting the ground under his feet.
"Haha, what do you call this in your language?" Silver Cufflinks laughed, "The last gasp of a dying force, right? My Chinese is pretty good, isn't it? It seems that your superpower can only be used once? I was almost scared by you."
The gold and silver cufflinks noticed Xiang Fei's weakness and approached him again.
"You..." Xiang Fei wanted to speak, but he only uttered one word before he could not bear the great pain in his body and fell backwards.
"Xiang Fei!" Tang Qing screamed and tried to help, but Zheng Yubai got to Xiang Fei first.
“Hurry... run..." Xiang Fei murmured. His energy had been exhausted by a lion's roar. Not only did he not have the strength to fight anymore, he didn't even have the strength to stand.
"Haha, where can three ordinary people run to? Our shadows are not vegetarians." Gold Cufflinks laughed loudly, raised his hands high, and cast a shadow similar to a knife and axe on the ground. The shadow of the knife and axe quickly moved, separated from his main shadow, and rushed towards the crowd.
Zheng Yubai handed Xiang Fei to Tang Qing and whispered, "Take good care of him."
Xiang Fei struggled and said, "They are aliens who control shadows. You are no match for them."
Zheng Yubai smiled slightly: "Sometimes, a direct conflict is not necessary." As he spoke, he searched his pockets and grabbed a few coins. With a flick of his finger, the coins flew out. In full view of everyone, with a few "bangs", several nearby lights were shattered by the coins, and the area they were in was suddenly dark.
The shadow of the sword and axe that rushed towards the crowd was just halfway, and the whole area went dark, swallowing up the shadow. This time, the gold and silver cufflinks were dumbfounded. They didn't expect Zheng Yubai to use such a method. Without lights, there is naturally no shadow. Without shadows, the two of them are not much better than ordinary people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the gold and silver cufflinks turned around and tried to escape to a place with light, but Zheng Yubai would never let them run away. He flew forward to catch up with them, stretched out his hands, put his hands on their shoulders, and threw them hard. The two flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, fell to the ground, and groaned.
Xiang Fei obviously didn't expect this move. He stared blankly at Zheng Yubai putting the gold and silver cufflinks down. As soon as the tension in his heart relaxed, he tilted his head and fainted.
"Xiang Fei! Xiang Fei!" Tang Qing was anxious. Xu Jin checked with his hand and knew that Xiang Fei was fine, so he said, "He just fainted because of a little dehydration. Don't worry. As long as he replenishes water, he will be fine soon."
Tang Qing hurried to find water, while Zheng Yubai pulled the gold and silver cufflinks together, half-took off their coats, locked their arms and tied them together. This time, the twins were inseparable.
"You...what are you going to do?" Gold Cufflinks was knocked dizzy and only came to his senses at this moment. In the shadowless darkness, they had no superpowers to protect them and were even more frightened than ordinary people.
"It's very simple. What's going on inside? What exactly are you doing in Jinghai?" Zheng Yubai asked.
"I won't tell you." Gold Cufflinks curled his lips.
"Very good." Zheng Yubai stretched out his hand and put it on his left shoulder. "I'll count to three. If you don't answer, you'll never be able to lift this arm again." In order to prove his hand strength, Zheng Yubai took out another coin from his pocket. With a little force from his two fingers, he flattened the coin. Then he rubbed the coin with his fingers and forced it into an iron ball.
Gold and Silver Cufflinks were stunned. They had never seen anything like this before. They thought Zheng Yubai was just threatening them, but when his palm really touched Gold Cufflinks' shoulder, they both felt that it was not a hand, but a pair of pliers.
"Oh my God, don't do this." Gold Cufflinks cried, "I don't want to become a cripple."
"Then tell me the answer, otherwise, your shoulder will end up like that coin." Zheng Yubai was not polite to the brothers, because he knew that if it weren't for people like him and Xiang Fei who had certain abilities, and if it were four ordinary people, they would have been killed by the gold and silver cufflinks. When dealing with such villains, if you are kind to them, you are cruel to kind people.
Gold Cufflinks looked at the coin that had turned into a metal ball, then looked at the hand on his shoulder, tears welled up in his eyes, and the domineering look he had just had was completely gone.
"Eight... nine... ten..." Zheng Yubai counted to ten without stopping, not giving Gold Cufflinks any chance to think again. After ten, he exerted a little force on his hands, and the force was too much for Gold Cufflinks to bear. He cried out "Ahh" and immediately cried, "Don't... I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."
"What's going on in there?" Zheng Yubai asked.
Gold Cuff Button turned his head in fear and looked at his shoulder. After making sure that the bone was not broken, he said, "Lan Ruo'er is also a different person. When she sings with her special vocal method, she can hypnotize people. The 50,000 people inside are now hypnotized by her."
"What do you want to do by hypnotizing these people?" Zheng Yubai asked again.
"We are just helping out for money. We don't know what they are going to do." Gold Cufflinks said. Seeing Zheng Yubai's suspicious look, he added, "It is Warner Company that hired us. Many aliens in the United States are hired by Warner Company to do work. This time it is just our turn to come out and work."
"Warner Company?" Zheng Yubai was very familiar with this name. After a little thought, he remembered that Warner Company was the backstage owner of the Ebola Company. He didn't expect that after the Ding Rulong incident, he would be involved with Warner Company so soon. But what exactly did this company want to do by hiring American aliens
After asking more details, Zheng Yubai learned that the brothers Gold and Silver Cufflinks were both affiliated with an institution called "Special Talent Training Center" under Warner Corporation. This institution was funded by Warner Corporation and was a very secret research center. According to Gold and Silver Cufflinks' confession, there were at least eighty people in the center. They received generous salaries every month and occasionally received some tasks. Some of these tasks were legal, while others could not be done in broad daylight. From this point of view, this center was very much like a mercenary organization, taking money to help people get rid of disasters. The only difference was that their mercenaries were all people with superpowers.
"Who hired you this time?" Since Zheng Yubai knew that Warner Company was just an intermediary, he hurriedly asked about the employer of the gold and silver cufflinks.
"I heard from the captain that he is a member of a gang. As for which gang it is, we don't know." said Gold Cufflinks.
Zheng Yubai's mind was moved when he thought of the Skull and Bones Society. It seemed necessary to check the connection between Warner and the Skull and Bones Society after returning. And the captain mentioned by the golden cufflinks, could it be Fang Hongjin
"Who is the captain?" Zheng Yubai thought of Fang Hongjin and felt that there was definitely something complicated behind this matter.
"There are nine of us this time. The captain is John Matthews, the most powerful alien among us." said Gold Cufflinks.
Nine! Zheng Yubai was startled. He looked around cautiously, but nothing unusual happened. He felt relieved.
"Where are the other seven people?" Zheng Yubai asked hurriedly. The other party had too many people and too much power, so they couldn't stay here for long.
"Two are on the stage, and two are backstage. They are protecting Lan Ruoer. Two of us are patrolling this side, and two are patrolling the other side, in case someone runs out. The captain and Mr. Fang are in the monitoring room."
"Mr. Fang is Fang Hongjin, right?" Zheng Yubai asked.
"How do you know?" Gold Cufflinks was surprised.
At this point, Zheng Yubai already had a rough idea of the other party's personnel situation, but there was still one thing he didn't understand, which was what Fang Hongjin and Warner Company were doing, and what they wanted to do after hypnotizing these 50,000 people.
Unfortunately, Gold Cufflinks didn't know the purpose of hypnosis. Seeing him begging and swearing, Zheng Yubai guessed that he really didn't know. For safety reasons, Zheng Yubai didn't ask any more questions. He knocked Gold Cufflinks unconscious with two backhand palms and was about to leave.
At this time, Zheng Yubai realized that Tang Qing, who had gone to find water, had not returned.
"Why hasn't Tang Qing come back yet?" Zheng Yubai's heart tightened. There were at least two aliens outside. If Tang Qing met them, it would be very dangerous.
Xu Jin was taking care of Xiang Fei. After hearing Zheng Yubai's question, she realized that Tang Qing had been gone for quite some time.
"Is nothing going to happen to her?" Xu Jin was also a little panicked.
Just as Zheng Yubai was about to look for her, he heard footsteps in the dim light in the distance. It was the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground, and Tang Qing was wearing sneakers.
“Cousin…” A low exclamation was heard, Zheng Yubai frowned, and strode over.
The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and soon a figure appeared at the end of the circular passage. The girl in the man's hand, who else could it be but Tang Qing
As the man came closer, Zheng Yubai could see clearly that he was a sturdy black man who was two meters tall. Seeing this black man reminded Zheng Yubai of the two black bodyguards who guarded the door when he applied for a job at Black Star Company on his first day.
The black man spoke a bunch of English. It seems that not every American who came to Jinghai understands Chinese. Fortunately, Zheng Yubai's English was still good enough to communicate, so he understood what he said.
What he said was: We exchange hostages.
Zheng Yubai looked back at the still unconscious brothers with gold and silver cufflinks, turned around and walked to them, picked them up one by one, and walked all the way to three steps away from the black man, and said to him: "Exchange."
The black man looked at Zheng Yubai, raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "You are very strong."
Zheng Yubai smiled slightly, and with a flick of his hands, he threw the gold and silver cufflinks away. Seeing this, the black man also raised his hand and threw Tang Qing over.
The two of them picked up people at the same time. Zheng Yubai picked up Tang Qing very easily. The black man also picked up the gold and silver cufflink brothers one by one, and it was obvious that he also had amazing strength.
The black man took the gold and silver cufflinks and threw them on the ground. He flexed his wrists and hooked his finger at Zheng Yubai, saying, "Only one of you and me can survive."
Zheng Yubai glanced at Tang Qing in his arms and saw that she was breathing evenly. He knew that she had probably fainted from shock, and a stone fell from his heart. Seeing the black man's provocation, Zheng Yubai smiled slightly and said, "Okay." He turned around and handed Tang Qing to Xu Jin to take care of, then came to the opposite side of the black man and steadily opened the posture of a collapsing fist.
"Chinese Kung Fu?" The black man asked, tilting his head and looking at Zheng Yubai's posture.
Zheng Yubai nodded and said, "You are right, this is exactly Chinese Kung Fu."
The black man chuckled and slowly took off his outer clothes, leaving only a white vest that tightly wrapped his muscular body, then he took a boxing stance: "Very good, I really want to know which is more powerful, boxing or kung fu."
Seeing the black man's professional posture, Zheng Yubai knew he had encountered a powerful character. A truly skilled boxer has extremely strong explosive power, and it is not difficult to kill a bull with one punch. Judging from the fact that the black man just took over the gold and silver cufflinks brothers effortlessly, his fist must have a force of more than 500 kilograms. With such a huge force, even if the fist touches the edge, it is possible to be seriously injured.
Xingyiquan is known for its ferocity among the three major internal martial arts, and can be said to be the best fighting style in Chinese martial arts. The explosive power of Xingyiquan is not inferior to boxing to a certain extent, and it is more clever than boxing. However, Zheng Yubai has never competed with a real boxing master. At this moment, facing this tall black man, Zheng Yubai is a little eager to try.
The black man launched an attack. His footsteps were very light, and he looked a bit like the butterfly steps of boxing champion Ali who swept the boxing world. He approached Zheng Yubai with the footsteps of a butterfly and threw a jab.
The jab was extremely fast and came with a gust of wind. Zheng Yubai did not dare to be careless. He lowered his head to avoid the jab and raised his hand to grab the black man's arm.
There is no such thing as grappling in boxing, so the black man did not expect Zheng Yubai to use grappling. However, when Zheng Yubai's hand was on the black man's arm, he realized that he had made a wrong decision.
The black man's body was slippery and impossible to grab. Zheng Yubai's hand went up but missed, as if he had grabbed a loach. Just as Zheng Yubai was stunned, the black man punched him again. This punch was as fast as lightning. Zheng Yubai raised his hand hastily to block it, and the fist hit his left arm. Suddenly, the whole left arm was painful and numb, and he could hardly lift it.
Zheng Yubai suffered a great loss, but he didn't know why. He took two steps back and looked at the black man's arm in confusion. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the arm, dark skin, strong muscles, and if you look closely, there was no trace of grease on it, but why was it so slippery when you grabbed it
The black man saw Zheng Yubai's confusion, and he smiled, showing a row of big white teeth, and said: "I am an alien, my body is very slippery, so people gave me a nickname called loach."
Zheng Yubai looked at him in astonishment. Could it be that this black man's superpower was a very smooth skin? He really couldn't figure out what the use of such a superpower was. However, since the black man was dark and his body was so slippery, the nickname "loach" was very appropriate and interesting.
Loach explained his superpowers and pressed forward again. His footwork continuously changed rhythm, and the combination of change of direction and speed was indeed hard to defend against. However, Zheng Yubai's footwork was famously flexible. His unique variant of dragon-shaped bone search, which he created by combining the strengths of various schools, was far more advanced than Loach's boxing footwork. With his left arm still aching, Zheng Yubai wisely chose to dodge and not fight Loach head-on.
After dodging Loach's attacks several times in a row, Zheng Yubai's left arm gradually regained consciousness. He seized a flaw when Loach rushed over, swung his fist to block Loach's hook punch, and threw out a random punch, hitting Loach's left chest.
Zheng Yubai used 80% of his strength in this punch. Not to mention that the man in front of him was just a black man, even a black bear would have been beaten to death. But to Zheng Yubai's surprise, his punch had no effect at all. When his fist hit the loach's left chest hard, he felt the contact point slip, and the fist tilted out, which was equivalent to just rubbing against the loach's body, and it was impossible to inject force into his body. Not only that, because the punch was strong, Zheng Yubai's center of gravity leaned forward, and this slip made him almost fall into the loach's arms. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, moved his feet, and dodged.
It was not until this time that Zheng Yubai realized the power of the loach's superpowers. With the loach's slippery body, it was impossible to hit him with a fist. In other words, close combat was useless against the loach.
How can you win if you can't hit your opponent? Zheng Yubai couldn't think of a solution. He tried to attack other parts of the loach's body. One of his punches even hit the loach's temple hard, but it still passed by without causing any harm to him. Instead, the loach took advantage of Zheng Yubai's weak attack to counterattack repeatedly. Anyway, he was not afraid of being hit. He tried to expose his flaws, forcing Zheng Yubai to retreat in a panic.
Loach had an absolute advantage. He saw that Zheng Yubai's punches didn't hurt him, so he didn't care about his footwork. He rushed forward with his height and strength, punching Zheng Yubai. Zheng Yubai dodged repeatedly, but Loach was also very agile. He chased him relentlessly and hit him with several punches.
Every time a punch hit him, Zheng Yubai felt as if he was hit by a sledgehammer. Fortunately, his body had been honed by his father Zheng Jingzhe's beatings since he was a child, so he could still hold on. If it were someone else, he would have been beaten down by the loach.
"This won't work." Zheng Yubai's heart was like lightning. He tried his best to keep a distance from the loach, thinking of ways to crack his superpowers. While he was dealing with it, Zheng Yubai glanced around and suddenly saw Xu Jin making a gesture to him.
This gesture immediately reminded Zheng Yubai, and he was delighted. He glanced at Niuqiu and saw him rushing towards him aggressively. Zheng Yubai did not dodge this time. He aimed at Niuqiu's direction and punched him in the middle.
Seeing Zheng Yubai facing him head-on, Niu Qiu was overjoyed. He had super powers to protect himself, so he was not afraid. Seeing Zheng Yubai's men rushing over, he confidently punched them repeatedly, wanting to beat them to pieces. But after he punched, the target lowered his head and his whole body shrank.
Loach looked down and saw Zheng Yubai squatting on the ground. He kicked out suddenly with the most common move in Chinese Kung Fu, the sweeping kick, which hit Loach's left calf. With a snap, Loach's leg was broken.
With a wail, Loach fell backwards. Zheng Yubai flew over and grabbed his face with his right hand, with two fingers pressing against his eyelids. Loach was furious. Although he fell to the ground and his left leg was broken, he still bravely raised his fist to resist.
"I don't believe your eyes are so slippery." Zheng Yubai reminded him when he saw that Loach still wanted to fight back.
Loach stopped swinging his fist and slowly retracted it to his side, groaning, "This is unfair. You can't use kicks in boxing."
Zheng Yubai chuckled: "You are wrong, we are not boxing, we are fighting for our lives." (To be continued)
