Sky-cracking Rider

As Chen Fei's combat mechs forcibly intruded into each floor, the entire underground complex was shaking violently, with explosions erupting one after another, causing many passages and several rooms to become piled up and blocked.

A large number of fist-sized scorpion-shaped robots did not directly participate in the combat but instead followed various pipelines for deep exploration to locate the functional agencies of the Heavy Criminal Prison.

Adam: Located the core control room and backup control room.

Within the Heavy Criminal Prison, isolated from the surface, the most central control room was designed like a warren, not only having an apparent fake control room but also a core control room in use for daily operations and a backup control room for emergencies.

Soon after the combat mechs breached those control rooms, Chen Fei restored communication permissions. After all, they had reached the location, were able to do whatever they wanted, and could even unplug all the hardware and install their own system. With the data interfaces and such, the AI "Adam" could automatically handle everything.

He made a call to Miyoshi Xuesen, informing them to stay away from those sensitive areas to prevent collateral damage.

"Hey, Miyoshi! Where are you all?"

"'Rookie', something massive is happening in Habulav, Amitabha Buddha, everyone's in a civil war, they're crazy!"

It was evident that the monk was utterly panicked, responding emotionally in distress.

He had never witnessed such a major situation, especially not at the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee Headquarters—complete chaos between friend and foe, fighting to the death.

After venting his inner terror, Miyoshi Xuesen finally had the mind to formally answer Chen Fei's question.

"I'm with Mr. Brown and some other people; everyone's scared and clueless about what's happening."

The monk was also very nervous; in such a chaotic situation, with his dark past, he feared it would be easy for someone to secretly harm him, as losing one's life in chaos was commonplace.

"You and Mr. Brown take those uninvolved and hide in zone C, find a training hall to settle in, and remember to bring plenty of food and water, as you might need to wait for some time."

The monk and the S-Class Space Ability User, after all, were with Chen Fei, and he didn't want them to be innocently harmed by Habulav's sudden chaos, so he guided them to the safest places in the city.

Zone A was a hotspot for chaos, and Zone B, being the living area, was inevitably targeted to incite further chaos, leaving only Zone C, used for regular ability training, with relatively fewer people and a lower chance of encountering those chaotic figures, making it a suitable temporary hiding spot, especially with the target practice mechs, which were more than sufficient for defense.

"Ah! Yes, got it! Where are you? Are you okay? Should Mr. Brown come to save you?"

Miyoshi Xuesen responded anxiously, also worried about Chen Fei's safety. This brat was the core of their small group, and any mishap would mean total ruin.

The monk would rather sacrifice himself than let anything happen to Chen Fei.

"I'm very safe here, don't come looking for me, just act quickly, Zone B isn't safe."

Chen Fei was almost in full control of the entire Heavy Criminal Prison. Outsiders couldn't come in, and those inside couldn't get out; it had probably become the safest place in all of Habulav.

"Oh, I'll head to Zone C immediately, wait… the building of the Heavy Criminal Prison has collapsed! 'Rookie', are you sure you're okay there?"

Miyoshi Xuesen seemed to have just received the latest update about the Heavy Criminal Prison, and his heart was immediately on edge, but fortunately, Chen Fei could still call him, directing him to a safe place, indicating that while the situation was urgent, it wasn't yet the worst.

He just couldn't understand why, when the surface buildings of the Heavy Criminal Prison had turned into rubble, Chen Fei could still call him so calmly, without any sense of urgency.

"I'm sure, yes, I have taken over the entire underground portion of the Heavy Criminal Prison."

Chen Fei received a prompt from the AI "Adam" confirming the acquisition of all highest-level permissions in the Heavy Criminal Prison, holding life and death over both prisoners and guards in his hands.

=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(●⁰ꈊ⁰●|||) "No way!!!!"

The monk never expected Chen Fei to have done something so massive inside the Heavy Criminal Prison.

"It's no big deal, just a rebellion, and I suppressed both sides."

Chen Fei, being alone, had no time or energy to distinguish between justice and the rebels, so he suppressed them all indiscriminately, allowing no one to rise up and cause trouble.

Though the abilities of the prison guards weren't weak, with some at the Heavenly Order and A-level, internal strife had halved their combat effectiveness at least. Then, with fearless combat mechs and reckless use of incapacitating weapons like tear gas, smoke grenades, anesthetic bombs, shock bombs, and flash bombs in confined spaces, the combat efficacy of the human prison guards was completely restrained. The prison's combat mechs were quickly wiped out, making direct confrontation a losing strategy. Thus, the guards who had just started tearing into each other ceased quickly. The hallways of each floor were almost entirely filled with combat mechs released from 'spatial branding', leaving no room to even raise a hand; how could they fight like that?

⚆_⚆!Miyoshi Xuesen: "..."

Jesus, taking down the Heavy Criminal Prison in Habulav, even he couldn't dare imagine such a thing.

This kid's courage was simply off the charts; what couldn't he do? He might as well go ahead and take down the entire Habulav!

Who brought Chen Fei back from Habulav and didn't inject him with a Supernatural Ability Suppressant!

The current situation is such that if one is not careful, they will lose control, and nothing can hold them back.

However, the security concerns on Chen Fei's end are truly nothing too worrisome. Since the entire underground part of the heavy criminal prison is now controlled, the locally isolated area is evidently much safer than the training hall in Section C.

"Hurry to Section C, I'll wrap things up here!"

Chen Fei urged Monk and the others not to waste time, fearing that if they dawdle, things could change, and if they can't leave Section B later, it will be problematic.

"Oh, oh, we're leaving immediately!"

Miyoshi Xuesen quickly pulled Heseman Brown and others along, gathering food and water as they moved to the training hall in Section C.

Chen Fei looked at the cube on the desk, unable to resist complaining: "What a terrible day!"

Data streams from various shock locations continued to pour in. Although the heavy criminal prison finally quieted down due to his strong intervention, chaos in other parts of Habulav had just begun.

Human power was thus wasted meaninglessly, lessons never learned.

The next second, another severe tremor came through, at a fairly high magnitude.

Through the "Macroscopic Perspective," Chen Fei saw not only a gigantic mushroom cloud rising within the military zone D, as if it had been hit by a tactical nuclear weapon, with countless fragments trailing smoke tails flying in all directions, even landing outside the city.

Even sections with higher control levels, such as Sections E, F, and G, were filled with thick smoke, and many mutants escaped from Section E, scattering around like headless flies.

Section E is estimated to be a place for biological experiments. Wild mutants would not easily penetrate such a core location as Habulav.

Previously, the "Water Bear" organization's mutant research was considered illegal and anti-human; but now, the sovereigns conduct the same thing and it's deemed legal and just. Public opinion sure is like a helpless girl, easily exploited at will.

"'Adam', construct a three-dimensional model of the prison, mark prisoners and prison guards, and provide statistical data and distribution models."

After notifying Miyoshi Xuesen to take shelter, Chen Fei refocused his attention on the heavy criminal prison. After successfully taking control, he couldn't afford to ignore it. Otherwise, other issues could easily arise.

The next moment, the AR visual effect auxiliary interface displayed a three-dimensional mapping of the heavy criminal prison, marked with related statistical information.

A total of over five thousand prisoners, mostly ability user prisoners, nearly seventy percent of whom are supernatural power users. The longest incarceration has been nearly thirty years. They are likely the first generation of ability awakeners, apparently committed significant offenses; spared the death penalty but doomed to serve life. They've no hope of stepping onto the ground alive, with about 177 prisoners dead amidst the chaos, mostly supernatural power users—a whopping eighty percent. The rest are spellcasters, with only two war professionals killed, turned into beehives by combat mech's Railgun Combat Rifle; their abilities couldn't manifest, these prisoners are at best somewhat stronger than ordinary people, and very limited at that.

There were nearly a thousand human prison guards, losing more than thirty in the internal conflict earlier, having resisted Chen Fei's combat mech, another twenty or so died, adding over three hundred injured. But no matter the severity, as long as they had a breath, with the prison's medical facilities and magic potion reserves, their lives could basically be saved.

"'Adam', isolate all other humans separately apart from me; prisoners go to cells, supervision and logistics personnel go to dorms, four mechs watch one human. Also, arrange for a batch of mechs to clear trash and repair facilities."

Where Chen Fei is, the core control of the heavy criminal prison is. He doesn't need to rush to the control room to oversee the entire underground complex.

Adam: Commencing task sequence execution…

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" translated Chen Fei's commands into multiple parallel processing tasks and distributed them.

Tens of thousands of mech occupying the entire underground building of the heavy criminal prison swiftly took action. With four watchdog measures, it's hard to stir up trouble. The heavy criminal prison cannot afford such expensive monitoring. For Chen Fei, who handles a million combat mechs, it's no big deal.

As for who's good or evil, Chen Fei isn't bothered with such trivial matters. Once Habulav is calm again, he'll return it to relevant personnel to handle.

Adam: An unusually large gathering of mutants has been detected outside Habulav.

Having restored communication privileges, the AI "Adam" smoothly accessed Habulav's public intelligence pool, and immediately reported anomalous situations to Chen Fei.

"Is it going to 'flood' again?"

Chen Fei, seated at his desk, tapped it with his forefinger.

As an employee of the 911 Aircrew Base military contractor, he was no stranger to such mutant anomalies.

Mutant "floods" occasionally occur near aircrew bases, but are rare events. As long as regular patrol monitoring is maintained, they may happen only once every three to five years.

However, on the Yangzhou Continent, "floods" are as common as daily meals, especially in the continental heartland of Habulav, where the scale of "floods" outside the city is significantly considerable. Without this city drawing them in and periodically purging the Central Great Desert's mutants, the entire continent would likely be uninhabitable for humans.

This time, the "flood" is really making things worse.
