Chapter 1012: Section 1000 - The New Guard
Seeing Lin Zixian's bewildered expression, Chen Fei immediately guessed the truth.
Just like humans with Heavenly Order and S-Class abilities, every divine breed of "Sagari" is formidable, often possessing unique skills. Given that the divine breed "Sagari" McKenny can remotely control the psychic ability user Ginny from the "Wall of Sighs" task force, it's not surprising to secretly implant information into ordinary people's minds.
So, Chen Fei had no doubt about Lin Zixian's words.
After all, Lin Zixian was already at the end of his rope, his life hanging by Chen Fei's decision. At most, he had a bit of pride from the Lin Family, but in the face of absolute violence, he didn't have much backbone.
After some deep thought, Chen Fei finally looked at Lin Zixian again and waved his hand.
"Alright, you can leave!"
"Huh?"
Lin Zixian was dumbfounded, not quite daring to believe his own ears.
He originally thought he would have to endure a few more beatings before this Chen Family bastard would let him go.
If he had known asking this would suffice, he'd have gotten straight to the point initially, avoiding those needless beatings.
Four healers stood up together, saluted, and left without looking back.
Lin Zixian hesitated, pointing towards the stairway direction and hesitantly confirming again: "Really, I can leave?"
Having been beaten so much, he feared Chen Fei might change his mind, finding an excuse for another battering.
"Scram!"
Chen Fei replied with a fist and extended middle finger gesture.
Once someone has lost value, he's not even interested in looking at them again. Better to get far away quickly, lest they get beat again, and this time, it could be deadly.
Lin Zixian was sent to the stairway by the chair under him, then dumped out like trash, falling on his backside. Without even a cry of pain, he stood up like he was escaping hell and stumbled away in panic.
Chen Fei didn't care where this guy would run to.
No matter how one escapes, they can't get out of the city covered by the "Skylight"; outside is hell, inside is heaven, only those seeking suicide would flee outside, especially since there's no escape route.
No matter how one hides, people are metal, food is steel, miss a meal and you're starving. "Atlantis" now has everyone as soldiers; there are no civilians. To fill your belly, simply hiding is no use.
Ignoring Lin Zixian's whereabouts, Chen Fei sighed as he touched his forehead: "Too bad the monk isn't here."
Miyoshi Xuesen was left on Blue Star, guarding the abnormal region on Ordovician Star, unable to join the "Wall of Sighs" operation.
If it weren't for this, Chen Fei would at least have a true advisor by his side, far better than that advisory team of dozens.
The work of the so-called advisory group can actually be replaced by the AI "Adam" itself, even executing with higher efficiency.
The S-Class supernatural power user Heseman Brown hopelessly said: "I still can't contact Blue Star!"
He was supposed to fulfill a role, but now he's of no use at all, having to be trapped under the "Skylight" alongside Chen Fei.
"It's not your fault, Mr. Brown, let's find a way together!"
Not only had this S-Class Space Ability User and Chen Fei's psi skill "Plane Communication System" lost contact with Blue Star, when trying to invoke the dog system in his mind, only "Adam" would respond, while the real dog system remained completely silent.
If it weren't for other psi skills still functioning well, Chen Fei might have thought the dog system managing psi skills had mysteriously failed, leaving him to manage "Atlantis" in a disconnected way. This dog system truly grasped his management essence, offering disconnected services alike; if Chen Xiao'er could find a place to leave feedback, he'd certainly give this regularly mute or suddenly revived dog system the ultimate bad review.
"I'll ask other ability users if we can collaborate."
Heseman Brown is utterly helpless against the bizarre environment of "Antalu," the ancestral land of "Sagari," but fortunately, only the psi skill "Space-Time Seed" is being disrupted, while 'Spatial Movement' and 'Isolation' paired with "Space-Time Seed" aren't affected. If an emergency arises, he can still escape with Chen Fei.
In the eyes of an S-Class Space Ability User, everyone else in the "Wall of Sighs" task force can be sacrificed or abandoned; only Chen Fei's life is paramount, and he will unwaveringly carry out his mission.
"Hmm, it's a good idea. Give it a try; you might be surprised. You don't have to watch over me all the time. It should be safe inside the 'Skylight.'"
Chen Fei nodded. The combined psi skills can turn decay into the miraculous. The "Spatial Branding" connecting endless storage space originated from this, and is limited to the circle of superpower users. Battle Qi, magic, and curse magic cannot achieve this level.
Therefore, the proposal from the S-Class Space Series Ability User does have feasibility. The only unpredictability is whether the superpowers inside the "Wall of Sighs" have psi skills that can chemically react with his S-Class spatial psi skills.
"I'll make arrangements right now."
Heseman Brown immediately started gathering people.
Chen Fei lazily leaned back in his chair, as if the chair installed on the all-metal floor had wheels, bringing him to the floor-to-ceiling window to continue gazing at the cityscape of "Atlantis." Wherever his gaze touched, AR visual assistance effects automatically popped out different information and data, showing personnel activities and project progress one by one. The life support system was operating normally; the air composition inside the 'Skylight' had started resembling Blue Star, and outdoor activities no longer required specialized respiratory equipment. Once various plants were cultivated to a suitable number, the creation of the second satellite city would be reconsidered.
No one could replace Chen Fei, managing an entire city so perfectly, adding to it the newly developed satellite city.
"Everything is normal!" ×2
Chen Fei heard other voices while talking to himself.
Their voices coincided, but the contexts were completely different.
The chair rotated on its own, naturally directing Chen Fei's gaze towards his fellow opinion holder.
A figure clad entirely in "Dragon King" assault-type single soldier heavy armor stood at the staircase entrance, a two-handed long sword hanging behind. As Chen Fei's gaze met his, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"Dang Wei Jun reporting!"
Heseman Brown disappeared, immediately located in A4 zone by the ubiquitous surveillance system combined with his health bracelet. He was having a conversation with several superpower users, with the dialogue automatically converted into text for archival purposes.
Chen Fei temporarily lacked the energy to understand what the S-Class Superpower User was talking about with others, focusing on the burly figure suddenly appearing in his sight. The AR visual assistance effect interface promptly popped out the other's personal information, which was public, not necessarily complete or accurate.
Dang Wei Jun, male, 37 years old, First Sovereign Eastern Warzone Army Major, Earth Order First Rank Earth Element warrior...
Previously, the opponent was the guard captain for floors 1-10 of the Central Building, but now stands as a temporary guard beside Chen Fei, replacing the S-Class Space Series Ability User.
The ability of this Major Dang to be summoned by Heseman Brown surely isn't as simple as the nominal Earth Order First Rank.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Chen Fei nodded, and the chair turned back to face the floor-to-ceiling window.
The people planted around him certainly aren't limited to just the S-Class Space Series Ability User Heseman Brown. Each is pretending to be naive, awaiting the chance to strike.
This war professional is merely the first to actively reveal himself, and the others likely have similar suspicions. Even if ten or eight others are hidden, it wouldn't surprise or confuse Chen Fei.
Dang Wei Jun found his position behind Chen Fei, his feet slightly apart, arms naturally hanging, stationary, with Battle Qi cycling within his body, maintaining a state of vigilance.
Thus far, the traces of the Divine Breed "Sagali" have never appeared.
The psychic ability user Ginny has also exhibited no signs of being controlled, indicating that the magic arrays imprinted on the "Skylight" structure and translucent panels have served their function—external spiritual power methods can't penetrate inside to peep into the city. The Psychic Power Users of the "Wall of Sighs" action force cannot penetrate the "Skylight" with their spiritual power to peer outside either.
Around the elevated hills of "Atlantis," all terrain has been filled with dry ice falling relentlessly, shrouding the world in darkness, where even stretches of high ice plains are almost touching the high walls of the "Skylight's" perimeter. If they rise another seven or eight meters, they would flood the bottom of the "Skylight."
Simultaneously, the enclosed passageway connecting the satellite city has been buried by thick layers of dry ice, with only parts of station tops visible every two kilometers. Bright lights pierce translucent panels, illuminating a corner in the boundless darkness.
Viewed from the sky, it resembles a string of dazzling pearls, with "Atlantis" and the satellite city hanging at the ends.
The "Skylight's" closure is flawless, neither low temperature nor sublimated carbon dioxide from dry ice can infiltrate. Although abundant dry ice still falls as snowflakes or hail outside, accumulating ever higher, humans sheltered by the "Skylight" remain obliviously busy with their activities, totally unconcerned.
Apparently, even this amount of dry ice isn't nearly enough to threaten the safety of the "Skylight."
No one doubts that if this incessant dry ice blizzard continues for another ten days or so, perhaps the entire "Atlantis" in the "Skylight" would be flooded into a clean, white land.
