Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Return (Part 1)_1
Hearing Chen Dalong’s question, Li Huosheng’s excited expression immediately stiffened.
“Ah, don’t even mention it, I don’t know why, but there are so many mutated insects in this damn place. I was just chased by a few mutated bees, and one of them stung my calf with its stinger.”
“If they hadn’t suddenly retreated, I’m afraid my luck would have run out.” Towards the end, a hint of terror crept into Li Huosheng’s eyes.
Walking alone in the jungle today, he truly realized how terrifying these mutated insects could be, even though he didn’t think much of it in Sunset Valley yesterday.
Hearing what Li Huosheng said, Chen Dalong had a thought; it must have been the envoys of the Dragon Lord who arrived in time to deter the bees.
“Alright, it’s all in the past. Come on, let’s go find the other brothers,” Chen Dalong said, patting Li Huosheng on the shoulder.
Li Huosheng gave a wry smile upon hearing this, “Boss, I can’t. My right leg is completely numb; I can’t walk.”
“No problem, I’ll carry you,” Chen Dalong said nonchalantly, then crouched down.
At this scene, Li Huosheng’s eyes filled with gratitude, but his mind was clearer than ever.
“Boss, I really haven’t followed the wrong person. But I can’t drag you down.”
With that, his gaze hardened, “If you carry me, the two of us will just end up dying together.”
“If you can make it back to Yang City and bring a rescue team before tonight, then there might still be a slim chance for me to survive.”
Chen Dalong couldn’t help but smile wryly at this, “Don’t worry, it’s no trouble at all for me to carry you.”
Seeing Li Huosheng still refusing to budge, he intensified his tone, “Come on, get on, don’t dawdle. I still need to find the other brothers so we can get the bus going and head back to Yang City.”
But all that came back to him was Li Huosheng’s steadfast shake of the head.
He felt a headache coming on; what a mess this all was.
After a moment’s contemplation, Chen Dalong decided he could reveal a bit of his strength, which might make executing his plan easier.
“Do you know what? I killed that Mutated Wild Boar,” Chen Dalong suddenly said.
“What? Boss, you…” Li Huosheng was speechless, his eyes wide with shock.
“You’ve been paying attention to the news about superhumans, right! Just now, when I was being chased by the Mutated Wild Boar, at the brink of life and death, it seemed like the potential within my body was unleashed, and I acquired superhuman abilities.”
Chen Dalong didn’t care what the other thought; he kept on speaking while moving next to a Longany Tree and threw a punch at it.
Boom!
A dull thud sounded, leaves rustled down, and a clear, 5 centimeter deep fist print was left on the trunk.
“My superpower significantly enhances my physical attributes; my strength, speed, defensive power, and more are now far beyond that of a normal person,” Chen Dalong continued.
Meanwhile, he couldn’t help feeling impressed by the effects of being bathed in Spiritual Energy; his strength seemed to have increased even more within these few minutes.
Li Huosheng, watching from the side, was already dumbfounded.
“Alright, the officials’ stance on superhumans is unclear as of now. You can talk about this matter with Zhang Chenggang, Qin Fang, and Zhao Rong, but keep it from the others for the time being,” he said.
“Also, with this kind of power, I plan on making the company legitimate. Later on, we’ll take on some tasks like escorting convoys.”
“You’re quite sharp-minded, so later, I’ll need your help to do some groundwork with the others.”
Chen Dalong didn’t care whether or not Li Huosheng was listening, and simply spilled out his thoughts in a breath.
After saying this, he directly hoisted the other person onto his shoulders and began to follow the black crow to the next location.
“Hey, hey, hey, boss, you should carry me on your back instead! I’m getting knocked to death this way,” Li Huosheng finally reacted a moment later, and quickly shouted.
“Such an important matter, you should have told me,” Li Huosheng couldn’t help but say.
Chen Dalong had to laugh when he heard this. He simply didn’t want to expose things too soon—it wasn’t that they were shameful, otherwise he wouldn’t speak recklessly about them.
But what came out of his mouth was, “It’s okay, back in the day, the five of us had sworn brotherhood under Lord Guan and shared blood wine.”
Li Huosheng was even more moved, truly feeling the sentiment of a brother willing to die for his confidant.
“Boss, don’t worry, if you want to lead the brothers to a legitimate business, that’s a good thing. I will take care of their ideological work,” Li Huosheng said, patting his chest.
Following that, the two chatted sporadically.
About the affairs that had to be done by a regular company, Chen Dalong only had a general idea; many details were unclear to him.
However, during their conversation, the plan quickly became more refined.
Meanwhile, with Chen Dalong carrying Li Huosheng, they moved swiftly, rapidly making their way through the forest.
After 5 minutes, they found the second brother.
Seven minutes later, they found the third person.
It took about an hour, but under the guidance of the little crow, Chen Dalong finally gathered all the people who were scattered around.
At this point, those who were alive all felt like they had survived a great calamity.
However, there were not many smiles on their faces, for they had lost a total of seven brothers during this ordeal.
And those who hadn’t died were all covered in injuries, especially those who had already made the trip yesterday; their injuries were compounded.
“Alright, let’s lift the bodies of these three brothers onto the vehicle, and head back to where the bus is,” Chen Dalong said.
Upon hearing this, many people showed expressions of fear on their faces, but quite unusually, no one objected.
The reason for this was that during the hour Chen Dalong spent searching for everyone, he had demonstrated the strength of a special forces soldier.

Almost all the mutated insects they encountered, or the smaller mutated animals, were solved by Chen Dalong alone.
Especially when they encountered a mutated lizard that was 2 meters long, everyone was so frightened that they were ready to shoot it dead.
But Chen Dalong stopped them, reasoning that the gunfire might attract more mutated animals.
Then, with an excited face, he charged forward and engaged the mutated lizard in close combat. The muffled sounds of their struggle made the others’ scalps tingle with anxiety.
If the sounds alone were not graphic enough, then when the fight ended and they passed through the battlefield, seeing the fist impressions Chen Dalong left on the trees and the boulder cracked by his kicks, everyone went a bit silent.
This was simply inhuman.
But as they made their way back, the fear of the mutated wild boar began to spread among the people once again as the distance to the bus drew nearer.
Finally, one of the members couldn’t help asking in a low voice, “Boss, what do we do if the mutated wild boar is still there?”
Even though Chen Dalong had shown superhuman strength, capable of dealing with a mutated lizard that was 2 meters long with his bare hands,
they didn’t believe that Chen Dalong could possibly defeat the mutated wild boar.
