I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

727. The enemy disappeared.

Ye Shuang activated Platinum Star and ran away.

She can handle one cyborg like Ding Sheng, but two would be a problem.

The girl dialed someone's number while running.

"The number you dialed is not in service..." a notification sounded on the other end.

The girl's heart sank slightly. She put away her phone and ran while observing the terrain.

……

Meanwhile, Cheng Fei led everyone up from the fortieth floor back to the fiftieth floor.

Due to prolonged strenuous exercise, everyone except the teenager was out of breath and staggered while holding onto the railing.

Cheng Fei originally planned to find the connecting bridge alone, but he was worried that Lin Xuanqi might have an accident while he was away. In addition, the others were unwilling to leave him, so the boy had no choice but to lead everyone out of the fire escape and into the building. Fortunately, the fire had not spread here yet, and the smoke was not too thick.

After some effort, they confirmed from the window that the connecting bridge was two floors above them, that is, the 52nd floor. The group continued to climb up through the fire escape and finally arrived at the connecting bridge.

The connecting bridge, with its glass curtain walls on both sides, was pitch black, while the opposite side was lit up with warm lights, as if a heavenly scene was beckoning to them.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Fei remained at the forefront, keeping a vigilant distance.

At that moment, a short, chubby man wearing a sports jacket, who looked unremarkable, appeared at the other end of the bridge.

"Hey, you guys actually came out here?" He looked surprised, his casual tone like greeting fellow morning exercisers at the park entrance.

Everyone, drenched in sweat, wore bewildered expressions, except for Cheng Fei, who noticed the bullet holes in the other person's clothes and realized what was going on.

"What are you looking at? I hated tall, handsome guys like you the most when I was in school." The short, fat man noticed the boy's gaze, his face showing displeasure, then he grinned, a murderous glint in his eyes, "So go die!"

With heavy steps, he suddenly lunged forward, flying towards the boy like a meat ball, covering the entire distance of the connecting bridge in the blink of an eye, and clenched his fist to strike the boy.

Cheng Fei caught his fist, grabbed his wrist, twisted his body, and used the momentum to execute an over-the-shoulder throw.

The man was slammed to the ground with a scream, sliding several meters before stopping in front of the crowd behind the boy.

"Get away from them!" Cheng Fei shouted.

Everyone scattered and fled in the direction they had come from.

Cheng Fei lunged at the short, fat man who had just gotten up and punched him in the face, feeling an unusually hard texture.

"You're one of them?!" The man staggered back, touched the blood on his nose, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Who are they? Avalanche? The Blue Foundation?" The boy approached him quickly, puzzled.

"Don't think I'm easy to bully!" the short, fat man shouted as he charged at the boy, swinging his fist and creating a deafening sonic boom.

Cheng Fei caught the fist and felt as if he had been hit by a speeding car. He was sent flying backward and landed in a somersault. He realized that this guy who looked like a comedic character was actually much stronger than Ding Sheng.

The short, stout man charged at the boy again, his heavy footsteps shattering the floor, his round body carrying immense kinetic energy.

Cheng Fei's expression turned serious, and he activated Zero at full power to meet him.

The destructive power of their battle was beyond reason. Accompanied by unsettling dull thuds, spiderweb patterns appeared on the glass curtain walls on both sides of the connecting bridge, metal railings were dented, and large potted plants crashed into the ceiling and shattered.

As the battlefield moved toward the brightly lit hotel area on the other side, the sturdy walls were easily smashed by the two chasing each other, like a movie set. They quickly disappeared from sight, leaving only a series of clearly audible loud noises, as if a construction crew had moved into the hotel and was carrying out violent demolition.

The people hiding behind watched helplessly as the two disappeared across the bridge, looking at each other with lingering fear.

"What do we do now?"

"If we don't go soon, the fire will spread..."

"Let's give it a try..."

After a brief discussion, they cautiously moved toward the other side of the bridge. The faint, drum-like sounds they heard made their hearts pound with fear, lest the short, fat man appear before them after the boy's defeat.

Ye Shuang ran wildly down the silent corridor.

She kept using the terrain to her advantage, running in circles with the woman, from the 52nd floor to the 80th floor and back again, with the woman relentlessly pursuing her, her terrifying footsteps following closely behind.

Hearing the continuous tremors coming from downstairs, the girl realized what was happening and ran towards the nearby stairs.

Cheng Fei dodged the short, fat man's clumsy but threatening kick and kicked him from behind.

The short, stout man crashed into the hotel reception desk in front of him, fell to the ground, and cried out in pain.

A strangely shaped dagger appeared in Cheng Fei's hand. The boy accelerated towards the enemy with all his might. The tip of the dagger tore through the air and emitted a piercing shriek, and a thick cloud of condensation emerged.

The short, stout man got up from the ground and turned around. The three-pointed dagger pierced his rounded abdomen, penetrating the hard outer shell and then into the fragile internal structure.

"You...?!" The short, fat man looked down at the weapon in the boy's hand, his eyes wide.

Cheng Fei twisted the three-pointed dagger forcefully, and after a burst of electric sparks, the short, fat man's body suddenly burst into flames, and a fierce fire surged out from his body.

Cheng Fei was also stunned for a moment, wondering if he had punctured a component such as a battery.

The short, stout man fell to the ground screaming and rolling around, turning into a human torch in the raging fire.

Cheng Fei quickly distanced himself, fearing that he might explode.

Under the boy's gaze, in just a few minutes, the short, fat man was reduced to a burning, charred metal corpse.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from behind Cheng Fei.

The boy turned around abruptly and bumped into the girl who was running towards him at lightning speed.

The other person was also taken aback and stopped in their tracks.

"Master Ye?" Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief. "Where are Shen Xi and Nana?"

"They're alright, but there's still one cyborg." Ye Shuang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the dagger in the boy's hand and the metal debris on the ground, and then quickly added.

"Anything else?" Cheng Fei quickly put the three-pointed dagger away.

This weapon is his only trump card right now. It is not only sharp, but its short-circuiting effect is also very effective against cyborgs. It is best to use it only when you are sure that it will be a fatal blow.

Heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor where Ye Shuang had run from.

A tall, thin woman appeared in front of the two of them.

When she saw the short, fat man's remains on the ground, her previously composed expression changed drastically. "You killed the fat man?!"

Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang exchanged a glance and moved closer to the woman in tacit agreement.

With only one enemy left, it was a piece of cake for the two of them.

The woman's expression turned serious. She suddenly took a step back, took out some kind of folding device from her handbag, unfolded it, and threw it under her feet.

Then, a ghostly blue light enveloped the space where the woman was, and she and the device beneath her feet vanished into thin air.

728. Nagasaki Asuna is worried.

In the empty corridor, the two stood there staring at the spot where the woman had disappeared, neither of them speaking for a moment.

"She probably won't be coming back." Cheng Fei looked her over for a moment, then shook his head, sizing up the girl beside him. "Master Ye, are you alright?"

"No." The obedient girl met his gaze, then looked away subtly, her expression delicate. "Are you alright too?"

"Don't worry." The boy smiled and nodded, then suddenly remembered something and quickly picked up the fire extinguisher from the corner. "I almost forgot."

"What's wrong?" Ye Shuang followed, puzzled.

"I have to get this out of here. You're in charge of Xuanqi." Cheng Fei used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire on the remains of the short, fat man known as Fatty on the ground. Then he found a bed sheet in a nearby room, wrapped the remains in it, and carried it on his shoulder.

"Okay." The girl nodded first, then blinked. "Where is Miss?"

"Uh, it should be near the bridge?" Cheng Fei hesitated for a moment.

……

Beneath the Twin Towers, sirens, horns, and screams mingled together, the air thick with drifting dust, the intense heat and steam from firefighting efforts creating an uncomfortably humid atmosphere.

The night, shrouded in thick smoke, appeared even deeper and darker than usual. The dim, reddish firelight reflected on people's faces, adding a bizarre and fantastical touch to everyone's expressions.

A reporter is standing next to a news gathering van on a nearby street, facing a camera with the building as a backdrop.

"A massive fire is raging in the middle of Tower 1 of the Silver Ring Twin Towers behind me. Preliminary information indicates that the fire was caused by a violent explosion. An unidentified attacker carried out the explosion, and the attacker is still active inside the building. Security is fully engaged in the operation..."

Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna stood nearby, looking up at the building. The former was expressionless, while the latter had her hand on her chest, looking worried.

At this moment, a group of well-dressed people, escorted by counter-terrorism team members, evacuated the building. Each of them had a look of lingering fear on their faces, and they were immediately put into nearby ambulances that were on standby.

Nagasaki Asuna noticed Ye Shuang supporting Lin Xuanqi, and stood on tiptoe, raising one hand and waving, "Shuangshuang!"

Ye Shuang nodded to her and continued to escort Lin Xuanqi to the ambulance.

"Strange, where did Cheng Fei go?" Nagasaki Asuna couldn't help but frown.

Shen Xi silently scanned the crowd leaving the building, her brows furrowing slightly as well.

The area beneath the Twin Towers was cordoned off, and apart from security personnel in uniform, not a single person could be seen.

Just then, Nagasaki Asuna's cell phone rang.

The girl looked puzzled, but her expression brightened when she saw the caller ID. She quickly answered, "Hello! Cheng Fei? Okay, I understand..."

Shen Xi stared at her suspiciously.

"Shen Xi, come here quickly!" Nagasaki Asuna put down her phone, grabbed Shen Xi's hand, and ran.

"You vixen, what are you doing?" The aloof girl was forced to run after her.

“Let’s go find Cheng Fei!” Nagasaki Asuna tugged at her arm.

The two left the area where the incident occurred and jogged to a nearby street.

A familiar silver sports car was parked on the side of the road. The tall, handsome young man stood with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the car door, holding a glass of lemonade. He seemed completely uninvolved in the incident, as if he had just stopped by the roadside to pass by.

"Cheng Fei!" Nagasaki Asuna gave the boy a bear hug.

Cheng Fei felt the soft, delicate body pressed tightly against his chest, gently stroking her head and back, while also smiling at the aloof young woman behind him, "Good evening, Teacher Shen?"

"Shameless trash, don't smile at me while hugging that vixen." Shen Xi stared at him expressionlessly, panting, her flat chest heaving.

"It seems Her Majesty the Empress is very worried about me?" The young man observed her expression. Although her pretty face was still cold, it was subtly different from the feeling she usually gave off.

"I wouldn't want even a servant who's barely useful to be burned or killed, even myself." The girl raised her chin and turned her face away.

"Yes, yes, then I won't keep you two company any longer." Cheng Fei pushed away Nagasaki Asuna, who kept rubbing against him. "Nana, here you go."

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna looked at the car keys the boy handed her.

"Drive the car back for me, just park it in the garage. Remember not to touch the trunk, I need to go to Lin Xuanqi's place." Cheng Fei pinched the sweet girl's soft cheek.

He had previously arranged for Asuna Nagasaki to learn to drive, and now the girl can drive.

“Okay.” Nagasaki Asuna nodded obediently.

"You really are concerned. You saved her life this time, and her feelings for you have probably deepened. Why don't you start making this a real affair?" Shen Xi sneered from the side.

"My dear teacher Shen." The boy sighed helplessly, came to Shen Xi, and pulled the girl's frail body into his arms. "We'll talk about this when we get back. Please don't let your imagination run wild."

"Whether they're just overthinking things or not, they know it in their hearts." Shen Xi trembled slightly, tensing up and remaining motionless.

"I really have to go now. Goodnight, both of you." Cheng Fei patted her head one last time, handed her the lemonade, and turned to run towards the Twin Towers.

Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna stood there, watching the boy's figure disappear into the distance.

"Ms. Shen, shall we go back too?" Nagasaki Asuna, with her hands behind her back, cautiously glanced at the drink in her hand. "By the way, do you want to drink this?"

Shen Xi ignored her, took a deep breath, and walked to the trunk without hesitation to lift it up. She failed because she couldn't unlock it, and turned to look at the person in front of her.

"Cheng Fei said not to move, so it's probably better not to move, right?" Nagasaki Asuna carefully hid the key behind her back.

"Truly loyal." The aloof girl narrowed her eyes and strode towards the passenger seat.

Asuna Nagasaki got into the car from the other side, and the two drove the Panamera away from the area.

……

In the brightly lit white corridor, Lin Xuanqi and Mrs. Lin sat down on a bench, exchanged a glance, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The other people who had previously encountered danger on the 88th floor were also brought in for examination, along with security personnel and private bodyguards. The large group of people blocked the corridor completely.
