52: Chapter 52 Sensation, Heading to Kuala Lumpur

After finishing the video call with Xue Yao.

Jiang Chen lay on the large bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

"Damn it, I've been sailing all day, why don't I want to rest?"

Jiang Chen sat up and looked toward Kuala Lumpur to the north.

That place was over a hundred miles away.

But in the dark, it gave him a sort of sensing.

This sensing was calling out to him.

"Tie Zhu, come out with me for a bit."

Jiang Chen was confused, but he eventually went out.

With the energy of an A-sequence Gene Warrior, he ran for three consecutive hours.

His speed exceeded thirty miles per hour.

When he arrived in the downtown area of Kuala Lumpur, it was exactly five minutes past twelve.

Splash!

Jiang Chen and Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu stood on a street in Kuala Lumpur.

It was raining heavily nearby, making all of Kuala Lumpur look grey and hazy.

Several men with typical tropical skin looked at Jiang Chen with ill intent, clearly up to no good.

One even had a knife hidden in his hand.

However!

After Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu stepped forward and snapped the man's knife, these people immediately showed the politeness of 'Kuala Lumpur welcomes you.'

"In a world without order maintained by absolute power, heaven and hell coexist."

Jiang Chen watched this scene and shook his head secretly.

This city is very rich, but also very poor.

The rich are extremely wealthy!

The poor are extremely impoverished.

The rich own luxury private jets and can go to Singapore at any time to enjoy giant cruise ships, luxury cars, beautiful women, and global travel.

The poor live in sewers with rats and may never leave the nearby slums in their entire lives.

Seeing outsiders, they are as eager as if they've spotted a piece of meat.

"Are you from the Dragon Kingdom?"

Suddenly!

A man selling buns on the street corner asked Jiang Chen loudly.

Jiang Chen looked back, had Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu translate, and then nodded: "Yes."

The man showed an expression that was one-third friendly, one-third envious, and one-third resigned envy as he watched Jiang Chen leave.

He had heard people say that the Dragon Kingdom was a world with order.

He had asked the other person what order was.

The other person had babbled a lot that he didn't understand.

Until the person said that a street vendor selling buns didn't have to worry about being robbed; then he understood immediately.

At that moment!

He was filled with yearning.

Because for a small person like him, not having 'rat people' from the sewers 'zero-dollar shopping' his buns was the greatest form of order.

That was what his vision of heaven looked like.

"Peace is just an accident; chaos is the norm."

Jiang Chen felt a surge of emotion.

He had only walked on this street for a short while, yet it felt as if he had experienced two different worlds.

Behind him!

Was the small vendor struggling to sell buns in the heavy rain while having to watch out for those rat people running out of the sewers.

And ahead!

Feasts and revelry, handsome men and beautiful women, skyscrapers, and a pervasive, brilliant light pollution.

The huge contrast of high technology accompanied by poverty made Jiang Chen feel somewhat depressed.

"If the development of technology cannot benefit the ordinary people, then the meaning of technology will be greatly diminished."

Jiang Chen bought a raincoat at a small shop and stood on a street corner, silent in his heart.

This trip out to sea!

His greatest goal was to find Black Technology on the ocean and push Dragon Kingdom's technology to surpass the United States.

But that was just a grand goal.

Now!

He felt that besides that grand goal,

technology itself actually had some even more important humanistic values.

Just as he was having these realizations in the heavy rain,

a bolt of thunder suddenly exploded high above Kuala Lumpur!

Chirp!

The sharp cry of a bird came from the dark curtain of the sky.

Jiang Chen quickly looked up and then ran toward the depths of the street.

The further forward he ran, the louder the bird's cry became, and the stronger his sensing grew.

"Such a fierce aura."

Jiang Chen eventually ran to a deserted street where there was a private residence nearby, but someone blocked his way.

"Private property!"

"Get lost!"

A group of capable-looking men, holding electric batons, looked at Jiang Chen fiercely.

Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu stepped forward, snatched their iron batons one by one, twisted them into pretzels, and threw them on the ground.

"...Welcome."

This group of people politely watched Jiang Chen and Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu walk toward the ancient-style private residence.

Boom! Chirp!

Thunder and bird cries intertwined in the night.

Jiang Chen stood where he was and looked toward the sky.

He could sense a massive amount of energy in mid-air, seemingly locked in a struggle.

As a bolt of lightning flashed across,

he suddenly saw a giant bird appearing and disappearing within the clouds.

And in the clouds, there was also a bolt of thunder releasing its ferocious power!

"What... what a huge bird!"

Jiang Chen's face was filled with shock.

The size of this giant bird was actually comparable to a fighter jet.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a large bird.

Bang!

Suddenly!

The giant bird was struck down from the high sky and crashed onto this street.

It smashed a large crater into the ground.

Dust and stones flew everywhere.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to go forward to check, he suddenly noticed the movement of a large group of people from the private residence.

He quickly hid in a shadowed corner of a wall!

Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu prostrated himself on the spot, merging with a sewer manhole cover, remaining motionless.

"This stupid bird, overestimating itself, killed by the lightning!"

The ones who ran out were Tai Rong and his men.

Originally, this heavenly lightning should have fallen inside the residence long ago, but they found a creature in the sky was intercepting it!

This had made Tai Rong quite anxious.

This intercepting creature was actually a Jindai Bird, and it could fly!

If it snatched the opportunity, what would be left for him!

But just then, the Jindai Bird was no match for the heavenly lightning and was struck down.

"It seems this heavenly lightning is mine!"

Tai Rong was overjoyed and immediately ordered his men to continue chanting Buddhist scriptures to guide the heavenly lightning toward them.

Under the chanting of the decadent sounds of the Buddhist scriptures, that lightning in the darkness actually began to surge toward them.

"Enter!"

Tai Rong waved his hand, and his Cassock flew up, covering toward the lightning.

The lightning was quickly wrapped inside the Cassock.

It struggled frantically.

Tai Rong was delighted: "Keep chanting!"

Those Buddhist attendants were covered in lightning, trembling and spitting blood, yet they still didn't stop chanting the Buddhist scriptures.

Bang!

One person was even struck by lightning on the spot, turning into a charred corpse and falling to the ground.

An attendant tried to flee, but Tai Rong struck him with a punch, killing him and shouting, "I want to see who dares to leave!"

Seeing that these Buddhist attendants were about to die one by one,

at that moment,

from atop a high building,

a woman covered in flames leaped down into the air.

She shouted, "Oh United States! As expected of an ignorant and backward country, actually forcing others to die for you! This is so unfree!"

As she spoke!

Rachel, the Daughter of the Sun, carrying the banner of justice and freedom, charged toward Tai Rong.

"Where did this matchstick person come from!"

Tai Rong snorted coldly and began a fierce battle with Rachel.

Not far away!

Jiang Chen was in the corner of the wall, observing in secret.

Even though he was an A-sequence Sigma Gene Warrior with considerable strength, and he had the invincible defense of Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu beside him, he still chose to lay low first to determine the strength of these two!

"That old man, isn't he the one I met at the Java Port Luxury Grand Hotel last time!"

Even across the distance and the heavy curtain of the rainy night, Jiang Chen recognized Tai Rong at once.

"As for this fire person, her combat power feels inferior to that old man's!"

"However, the fire element on her body seems a bit troublesome. Even when that old man throws a punch, his hand starts sizzling with smoke!"

Jiang Chen could see that this fire woman's sequence combat power was probably not as high as his own.

It was just that she came with her own flames, like a prickly cactus; if you hit her, she would deal a fixed amount of reflection damage to you!

Just like a Thornmail.

"The effect of this element is quite good."

"It would be great if I could have this element."

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

Covered in fire with super strength—wouldn't that make him a Fire God!

He observed for a minute and finally fixed his gaze on that ball of lightning still struggling inside the Cassock.

He was even more curious about what that ball of lightning was for, and why that old man would disregard human lives just to subdue it.

And that fire woman certainly didn't come for justice and freedom; she was clearly here for the lightning as well!

"Fight, go ahead and fight. It's best if you fight to the death so I can pick up the leftovers."

Jiang Chen stood in the corner of the wall, motionless, only revealing half an eye.

Just like an internet cat hiding on one side of a wall, observing in secret.
