Super Invincible Battleship

66  Chapter 51 Unexpected
The blonde beauty drove her car slowly, surveying the area around the fire to see if Yan Fei had been killed by the great explosion. As the pickup truck circled to the back side of the blaze, she saw the flames oscillate and a metal barrel soared into the sky; then, a figure burst out from the inferno.
This figure rapidly approached the pickup truck, grabbed the door, and with a single pull, tore the door off. Then he seized the blonde woman, attempting to drag her out of the car.
The figure was none other than Yan Fei, who had known that his trip to Africa was not going to be smooth sailing and had thus prepared a large stock of backup supplies in the Universal Space early on. These supplies included a metal barrel, primarily for fire protection.
When Yan Fei faced the sudden attack from the blonde beauty, caught in a life-and-death crisis, he snatched the metal barrel from the Universal Space the instant the gas station exploded, tucked himself inside, inverted it on the ground, and ducked the burning flames. To outsiders, it looked like he had been engulfed by the flames and met an untimely death.
Hiding from the flames in the barrel, Yan Fei's extraordinary hearing allowed him to detect the sound of a car approaching. He deduced that the truck was nearing him, and so he fiercely counterattacked, bursting out of the fire with the barrel and closing in on the blonde's pickup truck.
Yan Fei reached out to grab the blonde's arm, intending to capture her, but to his surprise, she didn't panic. Instead, a smile appeared on her face, and then she launched a punch that hit Yan Fei's arm squarely as he reached for her. Yan Fei was taken aback, having not expected his lightning-fast punch to be blocked. He then felt a huge force emanating from the blonde's fist, propelling him uncontrollably backward for five or six meters before he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Greatly astonished, Yan Fei couldn't believe what had happened. After the third transformation by the Mysterious Power, his strength had become unbelievably formidable. Yet, it seemed this delicate-looking blonde possessed strength that might surpass his. On their first collision of power, Yan Fei was completely overmatched.
The blonde jumped out of the vehicle, storming towards Yan Fei with such earth-shattering force that she resembled a prehistoric beast suddenly appearing, terrifying in her ferocity. Watching her smaller frame yet witnessing her powerful momentum, Yan Fei couldn't help feeling an intense dissonance. He simply couldn't understand how such a petite body could harness such colossal strength.
But Yan Fei was not one to show weakness either. He hadn't used his full strength just now and didn't concede that his might was less than that of the blonde. He accelerated towards her, and then their shoulders crashed into each other with a thunderous "bang."
20:25
Upon the collision, the blonde's body swayed slightly before she steadied herself. Conversely, Yan Fei's body flew backward as if hit by a truck.
After landing, Yan Fei rolled on the ground and quickly stood up, inwardly shocked. He truly found himself outmatched in strength by the blonde, a concept that seemed inconceivable. Why did the blonde woman have such tremendous strength?
Watching the astonished Yan Fei, the blonde playfully asked, "Are you curious why I set up an ambush for you here?"
Rubbing his shoulder and stretching his body, Yan Fei replied, "It must have been because when I impersonated Sam on the call, I didn't use his usual passcode, so you saw through it. You turned the tables on me, luring me here to eliminate me and avenge Sam."
The blonde clapped her hands and said, "Correct, quite impressive indeed. You guessed it right away. Are all you Chinese people really so clever? I realized it was an impersonation when I didn't hear the passcode that Sam always says when we talk. Since you dared to pretend to be Sam, that likely means Sam has met with some misfortune, and naturally, I want to kill you to avenge him. However, I must say, your impersonation was quite good! If I hadn't been trained, I wouldn't have been able to tell your voice was any different from Sam's."
Earlier, by greeting the blonde and listening to her voice, Yan Fei confirmed that she was the accomplice of the Caucasian man Sam. Unexpectedly, the blonde had also used cunning strategy, detecting the flaw in the greeting and launching an attack on him. Knowing he had been exposed, Yan Fei no longer pretended, saying, "The item you're carrying on your back must be the rusted gear stolen from the Museum by Sam, right?"
The blonde took the backpack she was carrying off her back, slowly opened it, and inside was indeed the rusted gear that Yan Fei was after. She showed Yan Fei the gear, then packed the backpack again, shouldered it, and said, "You want this item, I want to kill you. I can stand here and wait for you to take this item from me; my intention is to kill you. As to who achieves their goal in the end, we will let our respective strength do the talking. If you dare to flee, I will immediately destroy this thing."
Yan Fei had a headache. After discovering the blonde's formidable strength, he wanted to temporarily back off, then stealthily follow her, waiting for the drone to arrive and use it to kill her. No matter how formidable the woman was, she was no match for the drone. But he hadn't expected the blonde to not grant him the opportunity and instead choose to have a death match with him right there and then. In the end, either Yan Fei would get the rusted gear, or he would be killed by the blonde.
Yan Fei couldn't afford to give up the rusted gear, as it was an essential part for the Drone Upgrade. But he also didn't want to die, so he could only exert his full strength to eliminate this powerful woman.
Seeing that Yan Fei remained silent and didn't choose to leave, the blonde revealed a satisfied smile. She kicked off from the ground and charged at Yan Fei, aiming a punch straight at his chest.
Yan Fei blocked with his hands in front of his chest. When the blonde's punch struck his hands, he was sent flying a great distance, landing with a stagger and feeling a numbness throughout his body.
Yan Fei rubbed his body quickly, and his formidable recovery abilities soon had him ready to move again. The blonde, seeing Yan Fei unharmed again, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, preparing to attack him once more. But suddenly, Yan Fei turned and ran towards the wilderness hillside. The blonde, taken aback, didn't dare to destroy the item on her back and, abandoning the pickup truck, gave chase after Yan Fei.
Yan Fei had just figured out the crux of the matter. Since the blonde beauty had come to steal the rusty gear, it must be of use to her too, so why would she destroy it so easily? Her threat to destroy the gear to force him into a death match was just a ploy to kill him with her strength. Given the current balance of power, Yan Fei stood an eight or nine out of ten chance of losing if he tangled with the woman, and he might even risk his life. Then what would be the point of obtaining the rusty gear for himself?
Realizing the key issue, Yan Fei turned and fled. And sure enough, under Yan Fei's provocation, the woman did not destroy the rusty part but chased after him.
Yan Fei was not as strong as the blonde woman, but he was slightly faster. So when he turned to run, the blonde woman couldn't catch up with him for a while. The two raced across the night sky, but the distance between them grew further and further.
The blonde woman, unable to catch up with Yan Fei, suddenly kicked up a huge stone from the ground. The stone, weighing at least a hundred pounds, flew toward Yan Fei. Startled, Yan Fei dodged repeatedly as the boulder hit the ground and kicked up a cloud of smoke.
But that dodge slowed Yan Fei down, and the blonde woman quickly caught up, closing the distance between them.
Yan Fei was shocked and prepared to speed up his run, but another boulder came flying from behind. He dodged again, and his running speed was once more affected, bringing the woman even closer. After a few such exchanges, the distance between them was alarmingly close.
Then the blonde woman caught up to Yan Fei and grasped his arm, ready to pull it off forcefully. Yan Fei responded with a headbutt backward, striking the blonde woman squarely in the chest. The blonde woman grunted, quickly retracted her hand that had grabbed Yan Fei's arm, and slapped his back with a fierce palm. Yan Fei flew a distance away, rolled upon landing, got up, and continued running, but his pace was now more disordered, lacking the agility he had before.
The blonde woman, having been struck by Yan Fei's headbutt, also felt a heaviness in her chest and sustained injuries. But seeing Yan Fei's unsteady footing up ahead, she rejoiced and quickly pursued him again.
The two of them, one fleeing and the other chasing, occasionally clashed, each time leaving both Yan Fei and the blonde woman worse for wear, with Yan Fei sustaining more severe injuries. However, Yan Fei's recovery ability was astonishing; despite repeated injuries, his speed did not wane thanks to his rapid healing ability.
The blonde woman was also injured several times, but since her strength surpassed Yan Fei's, she kept a tight chase but couldn't catch up to him. There was always a distance between her and Yan Fei.
In this way, the two fled quickly to the south. More than an hour later, they had left Nairobi far behind and arrived at the border between Kenya and Tanzania, with the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, in the distance.
Yan Fei, who had previously pretended to be a tourist in Kenya, had also browsed Kenyan tourist attractions online and naturally recognized the snow-capped mountain range ahead. Little did he know that their relentless running had brought them to the foot of Africa's highest peak.
By this time, Yan Fei was seriously injured while the blonde woman behind him was also hurt, but not as severely. So she continued to chase after him doggedly, vowing to kill Yan Fei and avenge Sam.
Yan Fei gritted his teeth, suppressing his injuries, and ran towards the summit of Kilimanjaro, with the blonde woman in relentless pursuit.
After more than an hour of running and continual injuries, Yan Fei's stamina had already begun to falter. But just when he thought he couldn't go on any longer, his body's mysterious power unleashed, somehow rapidly restoring his vitality.
The blonde woman, frustrated from the prolonged chase, let out a roar and hurled a large stone at Yan Fei.
Yan Fei narrowly dodged, only to realize the real target was not him but a loosened boulder halfway up the slope. The large rock, upon impact from the stone, suddenly came loose and began to roll down the mountain, directly in Yan Fei's path.
With a giant stone ahead and a pursuer behind, Yan Fei did not panic. He suddenly leaped, soaring high, and jumped off the cliff beside him.
