Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 879 - 879: Section 872 - Clouds Disperse

When decisive action was necessary, the Blue Star sovereignties did not hesitate for a moment.

The "Wormhole Cloud" advance base on the Emerald Star side still left quite a few good things (except for the Element Annihilation Bomb and Nuclear Weapons), after all, preparations had been made to cut off all transport and communication with Blue Star civilization again, including part of the industrial system.

If one could bear the patience, local mining exploration and metallurgical processing could establish a relatively complete industrial framework over time.

Chen Fei did not value these equipment and materials, for he was already a complete industrial system on his own. As long as the Physical Evolution Database was sufficiently enriched, and metal materials or energy points were abundant, complete recovery of the industrial tree was only a matter of time, basically achievable within his lifetime.

"'Adam', the advance base will be named Base 1, start new task constructions, cooperate with satellite remote sensing data, dispatch exploration squads to the nearest mining area for survey operations, maintain and repair during the task, total operation time is 15 days, after the task is completed, return to the advance base awaiting further orders."

The succession of command authority was pre-set, so Chen Fei took over without hesitation, completely justifiable and legal, as taking advantage of an open opportunity provides rewards.

Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run; even if Chen Fei studied economics, it didn't mean he knew nothing about geology and metallurgical specialization. The equipment was available, and highly automated; though the data might not be complete, there was enough for reference. The task was simply to confirm mineral abundance and reserves and then dig away.

As for pollution, indeed there was. But now with nuclear winter, the pollution level could not surpass that of nuclear contamination.

Strategically, the current pollution would only damage the "Sagali" war strength, which would conversely benefit Blue Star.

From the beginning, the Blue Star civilization was prepared to overturn the table immediately if they couldn't obtain resources.

Years, decades, or even hundreds of years, they could fully wait.

The chance to overturn the table was fought fiercely for by Chen Fei against multiple biological space motherships; otherwise, they would directly abandon the advance base and achieve nothing.

Adam: Emerald Star Base 1 automated task A00000001 established, start executing.

The task interface appeared synchronously, showing several light spots converging in the advance base on the map, with vehicles, mechanical equipment, combat mechs forming a survey squad heading towards the designated destination along the pre-set dotted line.

The task interface resembled a 2D real-time strategy game; however, time could not be accelerated and tasks needed to progress step by step.

The previous defensive battle had almost cleared all living beings within 100 kilometers. The high oxygen environment on Emerald Star caused fern forests to catch fire, flames spreading in all directions.

Neither Chen Fei nor the Blue Star sovereignties had the means to extinguish the fire.

"Construct the 2nd task, maintain minimum personnel count, set three constant 24-hour vigilance circles at distances of 1000 kilometers, 300 kilometers, and 10 kilometers, centered on the advance base, temporarily keep it this way!"

Chen Fei was not anxious, the advance base on Emerald Star was isolated. Currently, securing the basic resources and accumulating them were more crucial than impulsively striking out.

Adam: Emerald Star Base 1 automated task A00000002 established, start executing.

Three more circles appeared on the map interface, with the outermost 1000 kilometers through ground-based radar and satellites for vigilance, within 300 kilometers through reconnaissance drones patrol, and within 10 kilometers by various sensors and optical cameras, with increasing monitoring precision as the distance to the base decreased.

Build high walls, accumulate plenty of grain, and claim sovereignty slowly.

"Dragon Slaying Technique" was a mandatory course in First Sovereign's primary education; there were reasons for First Sovereign's superiority over the Blue Star realm.

Just look at Chen Xiao'er, this "Man-eater Flower" of the nation, whose madness frightens even himself.

Taking his attention back from the advance base on the Emerald Star side, Chen Fei was about to ponder the newly procured SEG core unit evolution sample when Miyoshi Monk swaggered into the bridge.

While the giant airship of the first airship combat cluster was in the process of resupply, the Monk slipped over from the second airship combat cluster.

"'Rookie', heard you're back, how's the situation?"

Chen Fei shook his head and said flatly, "Sneak attack succeeded, no spoils."

Whether the advance base counted as spoils was doubtful, after all, it originally belonged to them, thus not worth boasting. While there were no spoils, the advance benefits were considerable.

Spoils were of no use; "Sagali" and Blue Star civilization followed different technical paths, even if there were captures, they would be of little practical value.

For this reason, the parasitic species completely disregarded the satellite network launched by Blue Star civilization into the atmosphere of the Emerald Star, perhaps to them, it was merely some lifeless floating objects in space.

Miyoshi Xuesen rubbed his bald head, grinning, "Just being able to return alive is good enough!"

This task, even with an S-Class space ability user accompanying, was extremely dangerous, essentially nine deaths and one survival, and those who made it back deserved a huge bowl of pig's feet noodles to suppress the shock, and burning incense for celebration.

The Monk was willing to risk his life for his friend, but unfortunately, Chen Fei didn't take him along this time, finding him a nuisance.

"Wormhole Cloud showing anomaly, emergency evacuation of all personnel on Midway Island, airship fleet maintaining the defense line, initiating protection, and keeping alert."

The Command Center established by the Global United Defense Committee Headquarters issued a warning notification.

After multiple discussions, the sovereignties decided to retain this temporary team and supplemented it with numerous professionals and equipment as a dedicated department for handling extraterrestrial race invasions and the occupation of Emerald Star.

Meaning Chen Fei, for the time being, couldn't return to his actual employer, he had to eat a public expense meal.

Public treatment wasn't bad, occasionally yielding pleasant surprises, but in critical moments, he had to charge forward, unlike the relaxed ease of using excessive firepower to bully mutants in Xingdu Kush Mountain Area.

If not for the threat posed by "Sagali" which endangers all intelligent races, with nowhere for family to escape, Chen Fei wouldn't be fighting so hard, with so many heavenly orders, S-Class and A-level, why would he, a little B, be so brave?

Numerous airships immediately treated it as an intense enemy confrontation, releasing protective barriers and magic shields; all weapons and detection systems were activated, and the battle was about to commence.

Under the "Wormhole Cloud" at Midway Island, everyone rushed towards the nearest aircraft in panic.

In an instant, large and small aircraft hastily took off, urgently evacuating the island.

"Damn it, what now?"

Wearing pajamas, S-Class space ability user Heseman Brown hugged a pillow, barefooted in slippers, stormed into the bridge with a look of indignation and grumbling.

He had just lay down, then was called up, naturally feeling annoyed.

"There seems to be an anomaly in the 'Wormhole Cloud', but the data changes are incomprehensible to me."

Despite receiving related reconnaissance data through the battlefield data link, Chen Fei was not an expert in this field, thus was clueless.

Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" was likely no less confused than him; converting a warfare AI to conduct research was impossible for either "Adam" or "Cybertrom."

"Anomaly? Let me see!"

"Wormhole Cloud" was a product of spatial rules, and the summoned Heseman Brown had the expertise, he rushed to the panoramic porthole, took out a telescope from his storage magical device, and began observing the sky above Midway Island 30 kilometers away, but soon frowned and muttered to himself, "Indeed something's wrong!"

Miyoshi Monk: "..."

Such a big person, yet he was completely ignored!

In front of an S-Class bigwig, A-levels were mere ants.

There was no helping it, all Blue Star civilization's A-level ability users combined couldn't withstand the grip of any single S-Class user, like the retired Grandma Yan Ling, her casual words could turn all ability users into ashes.

"Not an anomaly, but rule collapse; 'Wormhole Cloud' is disappearing!"

As Heseman Brown finished speaking, the black vortex cloud above Midway Island, 30 kilometers away, rapidly evaporated like gas, leaving nothing behind but the spell array above and below, its original sealing function now completely idle.

The S-Class space ability user turned back to look at Chen Fei.

"Gone!"

The change in the "Wormhole Cloud" indeed turned out as he said; it had vanished.

Chen Fei hurriedly confirmed the communication link with Emerald Star Base 1, relieved by its continued existence.

The "Plane Communication System" psi skill indeed proved powerful, maintaining his contact with the Emerald Star in some unknown way.

Just like on Blue Star, on Emerald Star's side, where the "Wormhole Cloud" was, there remained only a vast empty land without a single blade of grass or stump.

The parasitic species truly refused this loss, actively cutting off the wormhole connection with Blue Star, severing transportation between Base 1 and Blue Star.

If positions were swapped, Blue Star would have done the same.

"According to rules, parasitic species can only project one 'Wormhole Cloud', the next occurrence is unknown."

Thinking about this, Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh.

Leaving this loophole alone was for Blue Star civilization's benefit; ordinary folks just wanted to live peacefully and could understand the thoughts of the great figures.

He longed to return to the 911 Aircrew Base, to go home, to lie flat...

Now it seemed unlikely the team organized by Hablav City would disband anytime soon.

The cunning Monk chimed in, "I think there will be new tricks, after all, 'Sagali' civilization has a long history and probably not just one method."

Miyoshi was inherently a conspiracy theorist, suspecting everything, and his open mind was a professional habit.

"Your conjecture is quite reasonable!"

Even though he had ignored the Monk earlier, Heseman Brown couldn't help but take another look at Miyoshi Xuesen. His quick deduction showed he was not just anyone.

No one was a fool; the Global United Defense Committee assigned Miyoshi Xuesen to Chen Fei's side not only to oversee but also to prevent Chen Fei from acting recklessly without thinking.

Leaving ivory tower-like universities and stepping into society on the first day, using a Dragon Slayer Missile against a Giant Dragon for mutual annihilation, who does such things?
