Chapter 67: The Surprise Attack of Heiqi

The night grew late, but there were still quite a few people in some places.

Chen Fengshi rode the black Horizon alone, speeding on the asphalt road.

On the map in the Copper Coin phone, there were many choices at the edge area of the Hong Tribe Fungal Demon Main Body, which matched the information provided by Queen Huang.

In the past, the Demon Extermination Association failed to launch very effective demon extermination operations because they lacked enough understanding of the Fungal Demon. Through Queen Huang, they only now knew. The direct connection range of the Fungal Demon Main Body was quite limited, and it made Sub-bodies by splitting, forming a range-radiating expansion like signal relay stations.

And this splitting, besides needing to continuously accumulate a lot of energy, the higher the level of the Sub-body, the longer the recovery time for the Fungal Demon itself. Splitting two level-nine Sub-bodies required the Fungal Demon Main Body a month to recover itself, and after that, it needed three more months to rest its Main Body Core; during this period, it could only split four level-eight Sub-bodies every month.

Sub-bodies could also split, but they could only split Sub-bodies two levels lower than themselves, and after splitting, they also needed to accumulate a lot of energy to recover themselves.

Therefore, the more Parasites the Fungal Demon controlled, the faster the Fungal Demon’s expansion speed was, and the stronger the power it mastered.

Sub-bodies were the true power of the Fungal Demon, because even if the connection was cut off, Sub-bodies had the ability to survive independently; whereas once Parasites were cut off from the connection for a long time, the parasitic Fungal Demon cells would gradually fail and eventually die, without the ability to survive independently.

This was also why the Fungal Demon intelligence officers had to connect once at every exact hour, and why Parasites also had to connect with the Main Body or a Sub-body within a certain period of time.

When Chen Fengshi and Little An rushed into Hongye that day, it was exactly the day Queen Huang had just split her Main Body and created four level-eight Sub-bodies.

The expansion ability of the Fungal Demon was very powerful, but it was not impossible to eliminate, as long as one mastered the coverage range of a certain Fungal Demon Main Body and wiped out its Sub-bodies circle by circle, then the control of the Fungal Demon Main Body would collapse layer by layer, leaving only an isolated Main Body in the end.

If one headed straight for the central area, the risk would be too great, because the resources in a very large area were all completely controlled by the Fungal Demon, the shops within the range, the fixed personnel, the power holders from top to bottom, the exercisers of various social functions, and so on…

Because Little An decided to seek skin from a tiger with Queen Huang, it brought a breakthrough progress in eliminating the Fungal Demon, and also gave Chen Fengshi’s pent-up killing intent a way to be released.

He did not want to wait bitterly in silence, the beauty and intelligence of Juzi could not be waved away from his mind, he had to ferret out the Fungal Demon Main Body behind the scenes that plotted against Juzi, and Little Family Beauty, and even the Mutual Aid Association!

And now, the real murderer who killed Little Family Beauty was very likely the chairman of the Saralilai Group, a host parasitized by the Hong Tribe Fungal Demon Main Body; and the information to find the real murderer who harmed Juzi could temporarily only be placed on the hope of taking down this Fungal Demon Main Body, perhaps they could ask for some news.

The night was deep, and in a car wash with sparse foot traffic, the lights were still on.

Chen Fengshi chose this place, the nearest place on the Mutual Aid Association map to the edge of the target Fungal Demon Main Body’s sphere of influence at this time.

The shared information marked on the map explained: At the exact hour two days ago, multiple connections of Fungal Demon Parasites were seen pointing here, which was a Demon General phenomenon.

The black motorcycle went up the curb and stopped next to the car wash.

Chen Fengshi touched the foam cotton made to change his body shape on his waist, confirming it was very stable, and then walked straight in.

In the car wash, there were only the boss and a car washing worker.

They were originally watching TV, and seeing Chen Fengshi walk in, the boss glanced at him, then his eyes returned to the TV screen, and he said very casually: “We don’t wash motorcycles.”

“What if I pay the same price?” When Chen Fengshi asked, his body quickly underwent Activation under the effect of the Power of Life, and the Golden Power of Life inside his body quickly overflowed, spreading out from around his body; in the time it took to say a sentence, he had already engulfed the car wash boss and the little worker three meters away in the golden mist together!

The Fungal Demon cells inside their bodies continued to pour out, decreasing rapidly under the suction of the Golden Power of Life—facing this threat of death, the crisis mode of the latent Fungal Demon cells in the car wash little worker was awakened, and red mist threads quickly extended from the top of his head to connect to the car wash boss, hoping to get energy supplements from him, a higher-level Sub-body.

And the latent Fungal Demon Sub-body core inside the car wash boss was activated by the danger, and in his body, many red mist threads extended in an instant, as if the Fungal Demon cells in the Parasites in a large surrounding area were all awakened, and densely packed red mist threads all connected over!

The higher the level of the Sub-body, the wider the connection range could be, which also determined the degree of its sustained combat power; usually, before the energy of these Parasites was completely drained by him, he was equivalent to an immortal body!

However, this was under normal circumstances.

The muscles on the car wash boss’s body seemed to inflate instantly, expanding at a high speed in an instant; the situation was like when Chen Fengshi eliminated the dog parasitized by the Fungal Demon Main Body outside the school, expanding at this speed, one simply did not know how huge it could get.

But—Chen Fengshi would not stand there stupidly waiting for the muscles on the car wash boss to expand to the limit, and then fight with all his might.

The muscles on the car wash boss were still expanding, the little worker beside him grabbed a wrench and smashed it at Chen Fengshi, but Chen Fengshi easily dodged, and conveniently grabbed the little worker’s head, pushed it towards the wall, and immediately pushed the little worker into a passionate kiss with the wall, knocking him out directly.

Chen Fengshi then kicked the car wash boss over, stepped on his back before he could get up, then pressed down with his knee, and closely followed with a hand chop striking the muscles on the back of his neck!

The car wash boss was still struggling, trying to climb up.

‘…Damn, he can really take a hit! Too light and I can’t knock him out?’ Chen Fengshi was quite surprised, so he estimated and increased his strength again, and another hand chop went down; this time, the car wash boss finally behaved.

Chen Fengshi drove the golden mist, and at the same time exorcised them.

And in this process, although the car wash boss was unconscious, there were still connected red mist threads that could achieve supplementation, because the Fungal Demon Core would not fall unconscious, but because the body functions of the car wash boss were affected by the coma, the speed of obtaining energy supplements was far less than when he was awake.

The car wash little worker quickly completed the exorcism, but the car wash boss, relying on the supplements, forcefully held on for twenty seconds!

Chen Fengshi did not know what level of Sub-body this car wash boss belonged to, but this efficiency put him under a lot of pressure regarding high-level Sub-bodies.

After completing the absorption of the Fungal Demon cells, Chen Fengshi quickly went out of the car wash, and outside, it had indeed become lively.

The shops around where people lived had all opened their doors, and the people inside were holding weapons; on the surrounding residential buildings, at the windows of the low floors, there were people holding weapons ready to jump down.

These were all Parasites connected to the car wash boss, and when they were awakened, they all wanted to rush over to rescue, but Chen Fengshi’s movements were too fast; from the awakening of these Fungal Demons to the completion of the exorcism, it took only a little over twenty seconds, so these Parasites simply did not have time to form any pressure on him.

Now that the car wash boss, this Sub-body, was swallowed by the Golden Power of Life, these Parasites lost control, so just like preparing to fall asleep, they put away their weapons and returned to the state before they were awakened.

Chen Fengshi got on the motorcycle and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It did not exceed his expectations; with the power of his Golden Power of Life, carrying out this kind of hunt from the periphery was completely feasible. And Yanhuang Country’s weapon control was very strict, these Parasites controlled by the peripheral Demon Generals had no weapons at all, unless there happened to be a controlled police officer on duty.

The firearms of the police system controlled by the Fungal Demon Main Body, those that could be moved out were also concentrated around the Main Body; at this moment, Chen Fengshi was very glad, thanks to the country’s gun control, otherwise the car wash little worker would have grabbed not a wrench just now, but pulled out a gun from his waist.

Chen Fengshi started the motorcycle and directly accelerated away from the control range of the target Fungal Demon on the map. With the Sub-body dead, the target Fungal Demon would know soon, whether at the exact hour he could not be sure. Leaving its controlled area and taking a detour to assault the next Sub-general was a necessary safety consideration.

The motorcycle sped on the road again, and Chen Fengshi sent a message to Little An, with only two words: ‘Insta-killed.’

Little An took a screenshot of the message and sent it to Canyue of the Demon Extermination Association, as well as Heiyang, Little Huo, and Alcohol.

“Number Seven has successfully eliminated the first target Sub-general, it’s time for us to move too!”

Heiyang yawned; he was working overtime, but there was no way, hearing that Number Seven, who hadn’t even officially joined the association, was so badass, he felt that complaining about overtime was too inappropriate, so he just replied: “Empress, rest assured, I have already arrived at Qingfeng’s house and found the server; the download link for the Map Program will be sent to everyone soon.”

Canyue, full of energy and drive, said: “All available cameras in the area have been turned on, the order to urge the informants to move has been issued, communication signal check completed, all normal!”

Little An did not want to doubt how much of Canyue’s enthusiasm was due to being able to connect and talk with Chen Fengshi soon, and just asked her: “What’s the situation with Little Huo and Alcohol?”

“They have finished changing outfits at Warehouse No. 86 and No. 99 respectively, and are heading to Lizi Road to assemble, waiting for Heiyang to complete the authorization to use the Map Program, then they can start the operation.”

“The first operation of the Demon Extermination Association must not only succeed, but everyone must also stay alive, tell those two to be cautious; they’d rather change ten more targets than choose a barely acceptable one.” After Little An gave her instructions, she continued to check the data and information in the equipment at the Mutual Aid Association headquarters.

Although the most valuable resource of the Mutual Aid Association was people, followed by the Map Program made by Qingfeng. But Juzi’s situation, and the group of people who were very likely already in trouble, all made Little An feel very uneasy. If a Fungal Demon broke through the Mutual Aid Association, the consequences would really be unimaginable…

Unfortunately, there was no valuable information inside the Mutual Aid Association headquarters, because this place was managed by the President, and the proper data was basically all backups provided by Qingfeng.

Little An instructed Heiyang to find time to come over and take away the data and handle the loose ends, and finally sent a message to Chen Fengshi.

‘Coming to support you now.’
