The Social Life of the Supreme God

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers wafts through the warm spring streets.

On the sidewalk, tourists and Wulin citizens who got up early and are in a good mood are shopping clamorously.

It was a holiday, so there were crowds of people and traffic was congested.

It was not until a wave of sound came from the distant street, approaching, that it drowned out the noisy voices and the sounds of horns urging each other to hurry.

Then, without waiting for the crowd to react, a red car whizzed into the street with the sound of mechanical operation. When passers-by came to their senses, the car had already sped away through the gap between the car and the workshop like a fish that had escaped from a fishing net.

"Honglian, where are we going?" Li Ren, with his hands behind his back on the back of the motorcycle, asked tentatively.

He originally thought that the "control minister" that Honglian mentioned was at the committee's martial arts branch on the edge of the community.

But ever since he got on Honglian's beloved big motorcycle, this pretty girl in shorts has been bending over, sticking her butt out, lowering her head, and driving towards the edge of the city without saying a word.

I could see that I was getting farther and farther away from the city and closer and closer to the suburbs.

A bold idea popped up in Li Ren's mind: "Could it be that we are leaving the city like this?"

Soon afterwards, the toll booth looming in the distance confirmed his thoughts.

At this time, Honglian turned her head slightly and responded loudly: "We are going to the committee's...headquarters!" Her voice was a little broken by the wind.

"Headquarters?" There was a hint of doubt and expectation in Li Ren's tone.

Honglian didn't explain much. She just kept on turning the accelerator and drove the cool motorcycle with ETC stickers through the toll booth without slowing down.

That's right.

Honglian, dressed in a homely outfit of a tank top and shorts, rode a motorcycle onto the highway.

Then, she changed lanes at the first possible moment and turned into the emergency lane on the far right.

Li, who was sitting in the back seat, had to hold on to his seat tightly. During this time, he stretched his neck in horror and glanced at the electronic meter of the motorcycle.

The speed is 70 miles per hour and it is still accelerating.

"What kind of road is this... No, it's a road killer!!!" Li Ren roared in his heart.

In just a few seconds, watching the motorcycle speed up from 110 kilometers per hour to 200 kilometers per hour, Li Ren's heart was broken, his body was helpless, and his soul was out of his body.

The slight anticipation that came with knowing that I was about to go to the committee headquarters was blown away by the wind at this moment.

"Honglian, drive slower! You are riding a motorcycle, not flying a plane!!" After Li Ren said that, he turned sideways to take out the anti-collision helmet from the trunk, and then put it on his head facing the strong wind.

however.

At this moment, Honglian, who was in the driver's seat, not only did not slow down, but instead turned the accelerator to the bottom.

This speed machine equipped with a 500-horsepower V10 engine immediately soared to a speed of 250 kilometers per hour.

Li Ren only saw that the distance signs on both sides of the road, such as "300 kilometers to Donghai City" and "150 kilometers to Luoshajiang Ancient Town", passed by him in the blink of an eye.

Then looking forward, he could see a highway service area called "Wulin North Service Area" located in the distance beside the road.

While Li was observing the roadside, the car speed had reached 300 kilometers.

At this time, Honglian turned his head again and spoke loudly: "If we... want to... enter... the committee's... headquarters... we must... meet... the entry conditions."

Honglian was not wearing a helmet, and her voice was blown away by the wind.

Li Ren reached out and opened the windshield on his helmet, then roared, "What conditions—?"

"That is... on the Wulin Expressway... the driving speed... exceeds——" Honglian's syllables dragged out: "The speed of sound!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Honglian's body suddenly showed strange symptoms.

Countless crimson tentacles, accompanied by "puff-puff" sounds, scrambled to pierce her skin and swarmed out of her body.

When the strong wind blows, the soft tentacles dance in the wind like willow branches, just like strips of bright red silk floating in the blue sky.

Just as Li Ren looked up at the sky, somewhat absent-mindedly.

These "red silks" flying in the sky suddenly came close to each other and intertwined with each other. Then they suddenly dropped and gathered like a spider web, completely covering the speeding motorcycle.

Li, who was sitting in the back seat, felt dizzy.

When he came to his senses, the crimson tentacles and the giant net covering the sky had all disappeared.

Instead, from the place where the motorcycle engine was located under him, a strong and powerful "boom-boom" sound like a heartbeat slowly came from.

Along with the sound of the heartbeat, there was also a wave of warmth coming from the car body under my crotch.

Feeling a touch similar to body temperature between his legs, Li Ren looked down in surprise.

Then he saw that the crimson metal shell of the car was covered with black blood vessels like vines.

Continue looking down along these black blood vessels, and through the metal shell that gradually becomes translucent like plankton, you can see the various pipes closely connected to the engine compartment, which are also beating regularly like blood vessels.

Li Ren's sight immediately bypassed the winding pipelines and looked at the mechanical core of the motorcycle that was being semi-biologicalized.

There, in the compartment that originally belonged to the engine, a violently beating black heart appeared.

This black heart and the engine blended together like water and milk, so that every time they beat, there would be a strong and powerful roar, and even the surrounding air was shaken slightly.

This "mechanical heart" is like an inexhaustible power core, and the energy contained in it is pumped out with every beat. Then, this power wrapped in a burning breath will rush to every corner of the car along the tough blood vessels like black conveyor belts.

I don’t know why, but the car speed actually soared.

Li Ren could only watch the speed on the electronic meter soar from 200 kilometers per hour to 600 kilometers per hour. Then, in the blink of an eye, it broke through 1000 kilometers per hour.

"Honglian--!" Li Ren shouted. But as soon as he said that, he found that the sound seemed to be blown away by the turbulent airflow coming towards him and disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, all he could feel were the waves of vibrations transmitted through the car body.

When Li Ren realized something and turned his head to look around, he saw that on the highway at this time, both private cars and semi-trailers used for transportation were shaken by the strong airflow caused by their high-speed passing.

Air turbulence!

This is a physical phenomenon that occurs when the speed of travel approaches the speed of sound.

"Is this motorcycle approaching the speed of sound?" Li Ren thought and looked up at the electronic instrument panel in front of Honglian again. He happened to see that the number on the speedometer was fixed at 1224 kilometers per hour.

The Li people immediately realized that they had reached the speed of sound.

At this moment, accompanied by a strong wind that scraped across his body like a sharp blade, Li Ren was surprised to find that the surrounding scenery began to become blurred and the air seemed to solidify, as if it was no longer a medium that could carry sound.

Li Ren followed Honglian into a silent world.

He could only use the vibrations transmitted from the car body and the sound of his heartbeat to remind himself that everything that was happening at this moment was real.

In this heart-pounding silence, Li Ren made a bad discovery. The motorcycle under him, which was gradually becoming semi-biological, seemed to be unable to withstand the rapidly increasing air resistance and ground friction in front, and it made a low and hoarse cry like the whimper of a nightingale.

Along with the whining sound, the motorcycle body began to tremble uncontrollably. Under the extreme air pressure, its body was gradually squeezed inward and twisted.

Beneath it, the tires and brake systems, which were covered with layers of hard biomass, also rapidly heated up and overheated due to the intense friction with the ground, emitting red and blue sparks.

Flames flew everywhere, and vehicles driving normally on the highway were all horrified to see a red car shadow flying by like a meteor, and a black tire mark left in the emergency lane that stretched into the distance.

Li Ren, who was holding on to the back seat tightly to protect himself from being thrown off, saw that the motorcycle, which was full of sparks and lightning, was about to collapse. He couldn't help but start thinking about whether he should think of a way to save himself.

And right now.

Li Ren saw the number on the stopwatch in front of him jump again - their speed jumped from 1224 kilometers per hour to 1225 kilometers per hour.

The next moment.

Li Ren saw that the space in front of the motorcycle seemed to be compressed, and under the strong changes in airflow, ripples visible to the naked eye were formed.

Then, the light refracted abnormally at the moment of breaking the sound barrier, causing the surrounding scenery to gradually become distorted and crooked, becoming unreal like a dream.

The scene at this moment is like being in the eye of a hurricane.

Li Ren felt as if he and the world were separated by an invisible barrier.

In his senses, the flow of time gradually slowed down, and even his thinking became much slower.

As Li Ren continued to feel with all his strength, trying to understand everything that was happening at the moment——

As the motorcycle completely broke through the sound barrier at an unscientific speed, a terrifying sonic boom shock wave spread out in a ring-like shape along with a thunderous roar.

Wherever the shock wave passed, leaves flew, the air rippled, dust flew, and a circular dust cloud filled the sky.

The wind and dust blew on his face, and Li Ren closed his eyes instinctively.

"Is this what Honglian said about the conditions required to enter the committee headquarters?" When Li Ren thought so and opened his eyes again, everything around him had changed silently.

First, the highway, which was once bustling with people coming and going, was no longer crowded with other vehicles except theirs.

Turning back to look at the sides of the road, the distance signs that originally read "Tokai City 270 kilometers, 250 kilometers" had all changed to completely new versions of the distance ahead, "Kamikakushi City 50 kilometers, 30 kilometers."

The last thing was what surprised Li Ren the most.

It is the huge service area that was originally located on the side of the highway and is now within reach.

The six large crimson characters "Wulin North Service Area" on it unexpectedly turned into "Shenyin Service Area" without anyone noticing.

"Honglian, we are..." Li Ren pondered the situation and patted Honglian on the shoulder: "...traveled to some different dimension?"

"Ah?" Feeling the touch on her shoulder, Honglian lightly squeezed the brakes to slow down, and turned her head slightly to answer: "No, this is not an alien space, this is..."

Honglian paused: "…the outermost part of the committee headquarters."

As she spoke, she raised her hand casually and pointed to the end of the road ahead: "Li Ren, look over there..."

Following the direction pointed by Honglian, Li Ren looked towards the end of the road, the farthest point as far as he could see.

There, stands a toll station painted pure black, a highway toll station named "Shenyin".

"Welcome to Shenyin City. This city is the only way to the headquarters." Honglian said as he eased off the accelerator and slowed down as he approached the toll booth: "By the way, this city has another name-"

Honglian's voice was somewhat complicated: "——'Li Wulin City'." (End of this chapter)
