Sky-cracking Rider

The sealed passage between "Atlantis" and the satellite city, the large Skylight and the small Skylight, has been completed. Only the highway has been opened, and the broad gauge railway still needs some time. However, it doesn't affect the migrants' movement. There are still many construction projects in the satellite city that require manpower.

The passage is covered with translucent panels of the same specification. Every two kilometers, there is a station with a diameter of two hundred meters, equipped with an SEG core unit for energy supply and a repulsion shield.

In the event of passage damage, these stations will serve as temporary refuges for self-rescue and awaiting rescue.

...

"Despicable dictator, I will return!"

"A bunch of fooled idiots! You will regret this!"

"I, Zajilak, swear, I will reclaim everything here."

"Bastards, we'll see!"

"Don't get too smug now!"

A group of former military leaders grumbled and reluctantly carried their luggage, queuing up to board the mobile base vehicles.

The 20-meter-long mobile base vehicles, stripped of unnecessary equipment, are almost ready-made public transport tools.

With rows of seats installed, they can accommodate 120-150 people at once, so only a dozen vehicles are needed to transport all the opposition leaders to the satellite city.

After completing this transport task, these mobile base vehicles, modified as public buses, will shuttle between "Atlantis" and the satellite city every half hour, enough to maintain 24-hour round-trip needs.

Once these opposition military leaders arrive at their destination, they will have no time to idle as plenty of infrastructure tasks await them, consuming their unused vitality, leaving them no time to stir up trouble for Chen Fei.

The satellite city, in some sense, is a cage specifically set to handle dissenting voices.

Just as the opposition left, Chen Fei arrived at an interrogation facility.

The "Wall of Sighs" task force has been collectively transferred to an unknown planet, facing extremely harsh environments. Although they failed to achieve the mission goal of capturing the Lord of the Sky's Lin family, they didn't return completely empty-handed.

"... As a traitor of the Lin family, now you're the only one left here, Lin Zixian. What are you still holding onto? Confess honestly, and we can guarantee your basic human rights!"

In the square-shaped interrogation room, the only gain from the "Wall of Sighs" operation, Lin Zixian of the Lin family, was constrained in a chair, subjected to professional round-the-clock interrogation, with personnel rotating every two hours, persistently maintaining a spirited inquiry state.

When Chen Fei stepped into the interrogation room, he happened to catch the chilly laughter full of threat from the interrogator.

"..."

However, Lin Zixian, with a spirit already in decline, remained silent.

"It's almost been a month, is this your progress?"

As the mayor, Chen Fei had the right to express his dissatisfaction.

Having caught such a hard nut, the "Wall of Sighs" operation was almost a declared failure.

One of the two interrogators, upon hearing such remarks, neither got angry nor annoyed, immediately stood up from his seat, turned to explain to Chen Fei: "It's expected to take another 24 hours to open his mouth!"

Even in front of the battered Lin Zixian, they made no attempt to hide the fatigue interrogation tactics being employed.

"It's unnecessary! Make sure he's well-fed, well-hydrated, and well-rested, then deliver him to me in 16 hours. Prepare a few healers as well, that's the decision."

Without lingering in the interrogation room, Chen Fei left with those words.

The military leaders weren't wrong in their curses; he is indeed a dictator, with no one having the right to refute.

At this moment, Lin Zixian, who had been keeping his head down, lifted it and looked at Chen Fei, who was about to walk out of the interrogation room, asking: "Who are you?"

"My surname is Chen!"

Chen Fei walked out without looking back.

Leaving the two interrogators staring at each other and Lin Zixian's astonished gaze.

-

16 hours later.

Neat and tidy, Lin Zixian was escorted to the top floor of the Central Building in Atlantis City, along with four healers, two Light Mages, one Water Mage, and a B-level supernatural power user specializing in healing.

Healers with healing special abilities were quite rare, and there was only one involved in this "Wall of Sighs" operation.

After eating and drinking well, followed by a good sleep, Lin Zixian was lively again, only his face remained somewhat pale.

He lazily stood there, a rebellious smile on his lips, scrutinizing Chen Fei from top to bottom, saying: "Which young master of the Chen Haiqing family are you?"

Without being restrained by any restrictive devices, Lin Zixian arrived almost carefree.

In fact, even left unguarded, he had nowhere to escape to.

Beyond the Skylight is the Life Forbidden Zone; aside from the question of whether one could break through nearly three-foot-thick translucent panels, escaping would face ultra-low temperatures, no oxygen, storms, chunks of dry ice, and rocks falling indiscriminately, any one of which could be fatal.

Not long ago, Chen Fei conducted an experiment, placing a mobile base vehicle outside the Skylight, and it couldn't last a minute before being smashed into scrap iron.

The detailed experimental video scared everyone within the Skylight witless.

If even a steel vehicle meets such an end, then how much more vulnerable is human flesh?

BAM, a heavy punch sent the young man, who looked about the same age as Chen Fei, flying, rolling heavily to crash three yards away, dazed and disoriented.

The escorts and healers silently took a collective step back, initially worried that Chen Fei might be lenient.

It turns out that concern was unnecessary; instead, they needed to ensure Lin Zixian wasn't beaten to death, as there was still considerable interrogation value in this hard-caught live capture.

"You should call me Uncle Chen, not just by name!"

Quickly crossing over ten paces, Chen Fei, rubbing his fist, continued: "This is to teach you manners. You may not agree, but I can beat you to death!"

Silver war patterns flickered and dimmed across his body, showcasing the Secret Technique of Fight to the Death inherited from the Neanderthal tribe, somewhat overkilling for a beating.

Like a dead fish, Lin Zixian lay on the floor, mouth agape, eyes bulging, gasping silently while his face swelled visibly into a pig's head, the deep purple bruise from the punch clearly visible.

The Lin and Chen families had close ties, so the form of address carried its own importance. Lin Zixian, in his casual arrogance, was justly beaten for it.

"Heal him."

Chen Fei nonchalantly gestured.

Immediately, a Water Mage approached Lin Zixian, crouched down, and softly chanted incantations with hands hovering over his face.

Droplets of dark blood oozed from Lin Zixian's cheek, and the swelling quickly subsided, although the bruise remained, unable to fade for the time being.

The fine manipulation of Water-type Spell amazingly facilitated blood circulation and bruise dissipation, visibly restoring the pig-headed face.

"How long do you intend to play dead?"

After some time, when Chen Fei's expression started to show displeasure again, only then did Lin Zixian shakily stand up from the ground, gasping and grimacing, touching his still sore face, hesitantly asking: "Who are you in the Chen family? Chen Shan?"

The earlier punch practically ejected his soul from his body.

"I'm from the fourth branch, Chen Fei!"

Chen Fei could tell the other hadn't interacted much with the Chen family; otherwise, they would not have mixed him up with Chen Shan.

Both the Lin and Chen families were large and influential, with many offspring in the new generation, their close relationship in the past became naturally diluted by the time of the younger generation of Chen Fei, Chen Shan, and Lin Zixian's cohort, so not recognizing all was not unexpected.

Even Chen Fei hadn't interacted with all members of the Lin family.

If he hadn't become an Ability User, he might have lived his entire life within an ordinary social circle.
