Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 891 - 891: Section 884 - Chain Reaction

The fog is not all the same.

Inside the Abnormal Region, the fog is an acidic aerosol containing moisture, with a pH value fluctuating between 4-5—a typical acid fog.

The dense fog enveloping the entire Abnormal Region is not merely water vapor and various suspended particles in a physical sense. It's a special energy field consisting of densely interwoven energy pathways. Extract any small part of it, and you can see the "Lichtenberg Totem" (lightning pattern) characteristics, which are completely different from what the naked eye can see.

Adam: Unidentified flying creatures detected, code 'Temporary 00001', number 17.

Multiple reconnaissance drones constructed a three-dimensional monitoring network. Utilizing communication carrier media with physical connections, they enabled data exchange inside and outside the Abnormal Region. Inside the giant airship's bridge, a part of the ground and sky within the Abnormal Region was projected through three-dimensional holographic projection.

Several red-glowing dots flapped their fleshy wings amid the uneven stone pillars, soaring up into the sky towards the drone swarm.

Real-time marked flight trajectory lines confirmed that these unidentified flying creatures temporarily named 'Temporary 00001' originated from a stone pillar over 30 meters in diameter and about 100 meters tall.

Clearly, this stone pillar was a nesting area for these "Giant Batfish". From the refined scan of the drone, the jagged rock surface looked somewhat scaly, closely layered.

Following four reconnaissance drones, six combat drones simultaneously released short-range combat missiles.

With multi-mode joint guidance, these flying creatures with a speed not exceeding 400 kilometers per hour had no place to escape.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!~

Fireballs exploded in the sky, blasting the 17 "Giant Batfish" into pieces with no survivors.

But in the next second.

From the densely packed stone pillar formations, countless "Giant Batfish" suddenly flew out, densely filling the space within the formations.

Adam: Unidentified flying creatures detected, code 'Temporary 00001', number 568.

Adam: Unidentified flying creatures detected, code 'Temporary 00001', number 7996.

The AI "Adam" rapidly popped up notification subtitles and simply generated a separate digital interface to update the constantly increasing "Giant Batfish" count in real-time.

The count of unidentified flying creatures 'Temporary 00001' soon broke ten thousand. The number ten thousand truly marks a critical point—anything reaching it feels overwhelming and engulfing.

"What the hell is this?"

In the three-dimensional holographic projection, a massive area of red dots suddenly appeared, startling Miyoshi Xuesen.

As if a hornet's nest had been kicked.

"These stones are weird!"

S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown extended his hand to select a stone pillar, gesturing with both hands in an '8' shape, diagonally splitting it. The three-dimensional stone pillar immediately enlarged in parts.

Those "Giant Batfish" were crawling out from the bases of scale-like stones turned toward the sky, then flapping their wings to rise.

"Ten-ton thermobaric bombs, count 10, set detonation points! Fire!"

Chen Fei pointed above the stone pillars, setting target points. Ten ten-ton thermobaric bombs all selected airburst mode.

Meanwhile, the drone swarm that entered the Abnormal Region had moved far away from the target point, avoiding the swarm of flying "Giant Batfish".

The giant airship's railgun fired continuously, delivering the ten-ton thermobaric bombs to designated positions, exploding into black-and-white mist. Seconds later, flames flashed inside the mist, and a fierce bright light suddenly bloomed. Flames and shockwaves swept out, engulfing countless "Giant Batfish".

The massive shockwave, comparable to a small tactical nuclear weapon, toppled more than half of the "Giant Batfish". The ten ten-ton thermobaric bombs exploded adjacently, clearing a visible area in the sky, with no survivors within the kill radius—a direct effect.

However, the immense commotion from the airburst appeared to trigger a chain reaction. The number of "Giant Batfish" inside the entire Abnormal Region, far from being significantly reduced, exploded geometrically instead. The drone count immediately exceeded one million.

The drone swarm, deep within the Abnormal Region, evaded the kill radius of the ten-ton thermobaric bombs instantly, ascended collectively to avoid being collided with by the frenzied flying creatures.

Even without evading, there was no use. The ammo carried by the combat drones was a drop in the ocean in front of such a number, not even causing a small splash.

"This is bad! We must seal off the entire region."

Heseman Brown, realizing something immediately, was preparing to unleash his Psi Skill to completely isolate the Abnormal Region from Blue Star.

Many "Giant Batfish", startled by the explosion and shockwaves, had already burst out of the Abnormal Region's edge. From the outside, they broke through the fog, flying directly into Blue Star's sky.

"Intercept with the railgun battery!"

At Chen Fei's command, a number of railguns rose from the giant airship's back, exceeding 200, each locking on to its target.

The airship housed a set of high-performance computing centers, cooperating with the AI "Adam's" auxiliary calculations to alleviate Chen Fei's blood sugar consumption pressure.

Just as the "Giant Batfish" broke through the outer "Fog Zone" of the Abnormal Region, they were violently and precisely sniped, shattered in mid-air, then plummeted like raindrops, raining down a bizarre shower of flesh and blood.

Yet, a puzzling and strange occurrence transpired. The stragglers that hadn't been locked onto by the railguns didn't fly far, inexplicably losing momentum, tumbling downward into the ground, causing a series of dense thud sounds, similarly messy with blood and flesh.

"Cease fire!"

Chen Fei also noticed this anomaly.

The railgun battery, relentlessly firing 30mm caliber projectiles, came to an abrupt halt.

"Eh?"

Miyoshi Xuesen, about to inquire why the interception stopped, also noticed something odd.

Even after the giant airship's railgun battery ceased fire, the "Giant Batfish" entering Blue Star's sky continued to plummet, as if another source of interception firepower swept them all out of the sky.

In reality, there was no other interception force. The Persian Sovereign's army was mobilizing, needing more time to dispatch forces to seal off the entire Abnormal Region.

"Isolation!"

S-Class Superpower User Heseman Brown shouted loudly.

Outside the bridge, as far as the eye could see, no more "Giant Batfish" emerged from the "fog". Those that had flown out soon mysteriously fell, and Blue Star's sky cleared once more.

The sudden trouble disappeared without any reason.

"Gone, why are they all gone?"

Mr. Brown finally noticed the flying creatures emerging from the Abnormal Region fell on their own.

His face didn't look too good.

First, he was exhausted since isolating such a vast range from the ground to the sky was no small burden, even for an S-Class Superpower User.

Second, it seemed he had acted unnecessarily. The flying beasts would die cleanly on their own, regardless of whether they flew out. It's just unclear whether they died from the fall or something else.

"Suffocated, the atmospheric environment is different."

Chen Fei thought for a moment and provided an answer.

"Indeed, it is!"

Heseman Brown finally realized, with his mouth twitching.

The Spatial Ability "Isolation" achieved nothing besides nearly exhausting himself.

Miyoshi Xuesen, relieved, said, "It was truly frightening, almost messed up!"

Hundreds of thousands of such flying creatures swarming into Blue Star's sky would have been a major issue, no less troublesome than the monsters continuously emerging from the "Wormhole Cloud" before, especially since the local sovereignty's troops hadn't arrived yet. With the creatures' maneuverability, they'd soon spread and become a disaster.

"These stone pillars are somewhat unusual; find a chance to break one open and see."

Inside the Abnormal Region, the "Giant Batfish (Code: Temporary 00001)" continued their collective frantic flight, many unable to fly out, wildly crashing at the edge.

Such brainless actions were no exception, clearly indicating they were not intelligent creatures.

This initial judgment would make many deeply relieved.

No matter how fierce, brainless beings crumble against intelligence.

Ten drones flew a large circle, taking over six hours to thoroughly scan the entire Abnormal Region.

Upon returning through the window specifically left by S-Class Superpower User Heseman Brown, most of the frenzied flying creatures had already calmed down.
