Sky-cracking Rider

According to the chaos model generated by Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam", it's predicted that within 36 hours at the latest, all chaos will come to an end.

Chen Fei doesn't really care which side turns out to be the victor, but with the addition of the "flood" of mutants outside the city as a variable, internal and external troubles make the development of the situation unpredictable.

He immediately dialed Miyoshi Xuesen's communication number again.

As soon as the communication connected, Miyoshi Xuesen's voice came through against a backdrop of noisy background sounds.

"Rookie, we have already arrived at Training Hall No. 11 in Zone C, there are 3,116 people here."

Chen Fei exclaimed in surprise: "So many people?"

He originally thought that only the people from the entire residential building were moving with Monk and the others, at most a hundred or so, but never expected there would be over three thousand, enough to form a force and establish a stronghold in Habulav.

But this thought was dispelled by Chen Fei the next second.

Because Habulav not only has humans and mechanical beings, it also has soldiers, who are completely loyal to the highest authority holder, enough to become an undeniable major force in Habulav.

"I heard we're heading to Zone C for shelter, so many people followed us over."

Miyoshi Xuesen provided a concise explanation of the situation, it so happened that the people came calling friends, and the number expanded rapidly.

People like Monk, who usually do shady work, unexpectedly possess credibility in such times, even Monk himself felt surprised, shouldn't it be that such morally lacking folks should be avoided?

Namo Amitabha Buddha, are these people out of their minds?

Actually, many people think that the situation has decayed to such an extent, having someone who's brainy and good at sneak attacks should be adept at handling ambushes, right!

Anyway, the chaos will not last long, better to follow along temporarily.

Precisely due to this thought, trust outweighed apprehension.

"I'll tell you an important matter, discuss it with the others and handle it."

Chen Fei first gave Monk a precautionary warning.

"Is something terrible going to happen again?" Miyoshi Monk spoke with trembling. Just by listening to Chen Fei's words, he guessed something dreadful was bound to happen.

"There's a sign of a 'flood' of mutants outside the city, Habulav might not be very safe."

Chen Fei shared his deduction with the other party.

"How, how could such a thing happen?"

Miyoshi Xuesen's voice got even more stuttering, though his words seemed half-believed, his heart already believed.

This critical moment is unlike usual times, everyone's attention is drawn to the internal chaos of Habulav, it's utterly unclear who initiated the rebellion, perhaps even among both camps there are many people who are still muddled, both sides claiming to suppress traitors, many are involuntarily engaged in battle with each other, some old friends who were close in the past are forced to go head-to-head, no one dares to entrust their lives to the trust that's already past, hearts are hidden within bellies, whether reliable or not, only digging them out can reveal.

"I estimate Habulav might not withstand this wave!"

Based on past experiences fighting with mutants, Chen Fei thinks the situation isn't too good, he promptly mobilized the First Airship Combat Cluster stationed on Socotra Island to confine the situation to its smallest range before the mutants "flood" overtakes the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee Headquarters.

This is the frontline of Blue Star against mutants, the scale of "flood" outbreaks here is larger than other places, the destructive power is more terrifying, don't think mutants lack intelligence, and can't drive Elemental Energy, but who knows what kind of bizarre capabilities they could mutate into, with larger numbers, bigger sizes.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, it's not safe here anymore!"

Miyoshi Monk sweated profusely with genuine sincerity, hands clasped together, praying to Buddha for safety.

Monk has inherited the skill, it's a craft, working black for the Global United Defense Committee is an earnest way to make a living, otherwise solely relying on chanting, hosting weddings and funerals, and watching over burial mounds, that income's far from enough to support so many mouths in the Sanhao family, Buddha doesn't need to eat, but believers do.

"You have only two choices, the first is reinforcing the defense at Zone C Training Hall, collecting as much weaponry, ammunition, and food as possible, especially medicine and medical equipment, holding out for assistance, the second is heading to the public spaceport, leaving Habulav, now's the time to go, immediately evacuate, the First Airship Combat Cluster has already launched, expected to reach Habulav in 15 hours."

Chen Fei proposed two recommendations, whichever one you choose, action must be swift.

Otherwise, once most people realize in Habulav, the existing carrying capacity at spaceport won't possibly send everyone away in a short time, this is the heart of the Yangzhou Continent, surrounded entirely by desert, all mutants, land routes cut off, the transportation aircraft take quite some time to return from a safe place.

After ending the call with Chen Fei, Miyoshi Monk stood in the middle of a panic-stricken crowd, holding his mobile phone, his face switching between cloudy and clear.

"What's going on? Miyoshi! Who called you?"

S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown was busy attending to the newly arrived individuals, who had just brought back the wounded from within the city. Using the "Space Transmission" Psi Skill to avoid the combat zones, many people had already been rescued.

More and more people were gathering at Training Hall No. 11. There were all sorts of professions represented, and some individuals took the initiative to establish the basic organizational framework. They began dividing and cooperating, with some maintaining order, others receiving the wounded, and those with fighting capabilities securing the safety of the training hall. Some were collecting supplies, gradually turning the facility into a true shelter.

"It's the 'Rookie,' the mutants outside are starting to gather, and an 'outbreak' might happen!"

Miyoshi Xuesen gritted his teeth and truthfully shared this terrifying possibility with the S-Class Space Ability User.

The latter and those around him simultaneously changed their expressions. A series of misfortunes had struck, and the city was already in chaos. They couldn't gather the manpower as usual to handle the impending mutant outbreak disaster, and even if orders could be transmitted, they might not be executed.

Even more troubling was the recent news that the ammunition depot in Area D had exploded, though not entirely losing all reserves, the amount lost was still substantial.

Humans are social creatures. Many heard that Area C was a safe location, prompting those fearful of being caught in internal turmoil to rush towards Training Hall No. 11, placing tremendous challenges and pressure on the hastily organized defense team.

As a dedicated training venue for Ability Users, Area C in Habulav was quite small. If everyone from the city rushed over, it would be packed to the breaking point, and the pressures of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation would explode as well.

However, Miyoshi Xuesen couldn't just sit back because he initiated the first move and had no place to hide. He could only grit his teeth and take everything on, worried until his hair... uh, was already bald anyway. Such foresight, congratulations! Congratulations!

"'Adam,' arrange for the excavation of a passage to the surface, selecting War Professionals and Earth Element Users from among the prison guards to assist in the digging."

After arranging for the emergency takeoff of the First Airship Combat Cluster, Chen Fei began issuing orders to the Combat Mechs fully controlling the Heavy Criminal Prison.

Due to the complete collapse of ground-level buildings, the surface had transformed into a massive mound of construction debris, tightly compressing the Heavy Criminal Prison underneath. Digging a passage from below was no small task.

In Chen Fei's view, if the Heavy Criminal Prison is appropriately handled, it could serve as a crucial shelter within Habulav City. The collapse of the building didn't cause much impact, thanks to the surprisingly solid underground structures.

He dialed a contact number, which his directory identified as belonging to the blonde girl, Nicole von Sasha.

What Chen Fei did not expect was for the dial tone to ring out for a long time without an answer until it automatically disconnected. Reluctantly, he redialed, but still, there was no response.

Chen Fei considered the possible reasons for the missed calls: 1. The phone broke, 2. The phone was lost, 3. The young lady was gone; and of course, 4. The young lady was taken hostage.

Hopefully, it's not option 3, because he now needs the young lady's... abilities!

There was always an internal conflict among the prison guards, a latent risk. Chen Fei, being alone, had no means to discern which side could be trusted and which should be guarded against. The possibility was high that both sides might unite against him, which was not out of the question.

Nicole's Psi Skill is ideal for investigation and interrogation, capable of easily identifying useful personnel while screening out those with malicious intent, either detaining them or eliminating them, so they could no longer stir trouble.

Thus, from the start, Chen Fei suppressed both sides, decisively seizing control of the entire underground complex of the Heavy Criminal Prison himself.

However, the continuous long dial tone indicated that option 1 was least likely, with probability theory pointing to 4 as the highest, followed by 2, and then 3.

Due to the stringent data information management in Habulav, paired with experts overseeing the system, "Adam," being an outdated entity, couldn't secure higher access through communication networks without risking exposure; its execution data packet was very conspicuous and easily exposed.

When Chen Fei was about to give up on dialing Nicole's number, he received a callback.

"Chen Fei, where are you?"

The voice, however, was not the young lady's but a gruff male voice.

"Who might you be? Where is Nicole?"

Chen Fei frowned slightly. Nicole's phone had fallen into another's hands, suggesting something unpleasant had occurred.

"Heh, just you wait!"

But in the next second, the call was disconnected.

Wait?

This wasn't a friendly tone.

So, option 4: Nicole was taken hostage.

Moreover, judging from the tone, the other party seemed poised to cause trouble for Chen Xiao'er, who stirred up the hornet's nest by acting without virtue.
