Sky-cracking Rider

Alongside the loud bang, a flash of light that streaked past the window almost lit up half of the night sky. The old Neanderthal man gripped the slim, spike-shaped "Blood Spike" tightly and said with a frown, "This is bad! It's not just us! We're in big trouble!"

Even supernatural power users and optical invisibility equipment had appeared. The enemy bold enough to attack the Aircrew Base 911 definitely had more tricks up their sleeve.

One could even say, the battle had just begun.

The entire Aircrew Base 911 probably hadn't expected that the attack by the Meman Brothers United Defense Consortium would come so swiftly. Just two hours after they announced the launch of a corporate war against the Apocalypse Defense Group, the assault began, and it was a surprise attack at night.

The "Steal-the-Tower" tactic was spot on, aiming to destroy the main energy source of Aircrew Base 911 first, affecting various systems that rely on sufficient electricity supply, not just radar, communication, and command systems, but also the anti-air systems.

"Shall we go help?"

Chen Fei was eager to jump into action.

System: Ding! Establish evolutionary sample 1, reward Energy Points +1 (Newbie task)

System: Kill ten people within 24 hours, receive 200 Energy Points (If task is not completed on time, die!)

Well, that is really great luck, just what was wanted!

Such a murderously intense death task had appeared all of a sudden.

Continuing to stay down was definitely the right move!

Come on, move yourself!

"Don't rush, wait a moment!"

Barut shook his head and while pricking up his ears to listen to the noises outside, he deftly checked the two guys who had been stabbed to death by the "Blood Spike."

Outside the steel structure hut, gunshots and explosions intertwined into one, instantly making the high ground where the aircrew base was located bustling.

Once elite warriors guarding the Supreme Council of the Third Era Civilization, they were almost bone-deep familiar with skirmishes and warfare, knowing exactly what to do and when, preparing every second.

"Optical invisibility combined with dark elemental psychic, that was really close!"

Barut found two automatic silenced weapons with optical invisibility functionality, several magazine clips, and ten high-energy bombs, any one of which could stop the energy tower inside the hut from operating.

Even low-temperature nuclear fusion has mild radiation, but the internal safety protection device of the Target Low Temperature Nuclear Fusion Energy Tower could reset the reaction module immediately upon experiencing severe impacts and serious malfunctions, preventing any leakage of heavy water fuel.

"Chirp!"

The victorious Pure Light Sparrow flapped its tiny wings and flew out of its nest, landing on Chen Fei's shoulder.

"Well done, Little Jiu!"

Chen Fei rubbed the little bird's head with his finger. Low-rank magical beasts that suddenly access high-rank resources can grow incredibly fast in a short time. Surprisingly, it had mastered new skills so quickly and had been a big help.

Little Jiu made a series of short, loud sounds.
Your next chapter is on m v|l-e'm,p| y- r

Though the little bird couldn't talk, it could communicate its emotions through changes in its chirping sounds; it was quite delighted at the moment!

Glancing at Chen Fei who was playing with the little bird, Barut thought he might have overthought things before.

If it were someone deeply scheming, how could they repeatedly risk their life? A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, yet this young man had almost lost his life several times. Such a person was either a Son of Destiny or a lifetime of formidable influence.

Bang!~

A dazzling blue lightning streaked across the sky above the steel structure hut.

Just then, the Target Low Temperature Nuclear Fusion Energy Tower started crackling, the control panel burst into electrical sparks, and all the lights dimmed instantly, filling the air with a burnt smell.

"ID: 2333!"

The previously unlit glow tube display screen suddenly lit up.

Even the main control display screen of the surviving energy tower was pitch black.

"Code 2333, it's electromagnetic pulse damage; that was an EMP."

Barut immediately recognized the fault information indicated on the glow tube display screen.

The attackers' Plan-B!

It was clear that they already knew that the plan of one dark elemental psychic with two optical invisible warriors to raid the energy tower had failed and all were lost. Instead of sending more people to dive into this bottomless pit, they simply fired an EMP to wreak havoc, leaving everyone's electronic devices dead. Whatever remained functional was purely up to luck.

The Target Low Temperature Nuclear Fusion Energy Tower, capable of withstanding close-range gunfire from light weapons, had finally gone dead.

Having lost its main control system, sensor system, and outer security system, a safety mechanism was triaged, the machinery automatically reset the reaction inserts, and the nuclear fusion reaction naturally ceased, causing the output of electrical power to plummet rapidly. The core structure, however, remained mostly undamaged.

While the internal fusion reaction of the Energy Tower could ensure a stable energy output, once the fusion reaction stopped, it could no longer self-initiate the nuclear fusion reaction, meaning that before the manufacturer arrived with the ignition device, the entire 911 Aircrew Base would be plunged into a shortage of electricity, even though there was a backup power system.

Still, it ultimately couldn't compare to the supply of power from an operational low-temperature nuclear fusion energy tower.

Under normal ideal conditions, a low-temperature nuclear fusion energy tower would continuously operate from its initial ignition until it was scrapped, with its lifespan not concluding and the fusion reaction never stopping, even maintenance and replacement of reaction inserts during operation would not require the fusion reaction to pause.

Every ignition required a considerable amount of energy.

Nowadays, with the use of Crystalline Blocks, the size and weight of the ignition device had been significantly reduced.

"Are we still staying here?"

Chen Fei looked towards the now darkened Energy Tower; he and Old Master Barut were here to protect this thing after all.

Having taken an EMP strike, this turned-dead Energy Tower had already lost its tactical value.

Also dead were Chen Fei's second-hand old phone and health bracelet; cheap goods, not worth the heartache, whereas the notebook and tablet left in the dormitory at most lost local data, basically just some personal settings, most data were still in the remote cloud storage space.

Once he swapped to a new computer, a 'Biu' and it would automatically restore exactly as before—the convenience of cloud technology.

"Chirp!~"

A light appeared on his shoulder, a ping pong ball-sized light sphere was hovering in front of Xiao Jiu's sharp beak.

In a nearby nest, a light-element magical beast crystal core of the Third Rank was also emitting a soft white light, substituting as illumination.

"Xiao Jiu is really well-behaved!"

Seeing this, the Neanderthal elder, Grandpa Barut, smiled and then said, "Anyway, there's no point staying here, let's go out and have a look, I'll go ahead; you follow behind, and let Xiao Jiu stay here. It attracts too much attention."

The pure light sparrow, like a little light bulb, could easily attract attacks under the night sky, and for low-rank magical beasts, human firearms were still very dangerous.

Chen Fei immediately grabbed the lively Little Bird and returned it to its nest, tucking it into a corner with additional cover to block the faint light emitted by the crystal core. This way, even if someone else came in, they wouldn't discover this little bird and the light-element magical beast crystal core worth millions of Star Yuan.

"Grandpa Barut, I'll take the lead, and you follow behind!"

After securing Little Bird, Chen Fei dashed to the door, signaled with his hand, and then pushed the door open and went out.

Outside, there were still 200 Energy Points waiting for him to collect.

Eating a ton of metal to get one Energy Point, high risk, high reward, the 200 Energy Points from a deadly mission were too cost-effective.

Bang!~

Chen Fei fell backwards and landed flat on the ground... Ouch, down again!

"Ah! I'm dead! There's a sniper!"

System: Ding! Absorption of Alloy Body 49.21 grams, composition ratio: tungsten 85%, copper 7%, iron 4%, nickel 3%...

"Kid, how are you?"

Barut jumped in shock.

"I'm alright!"

Chen Fei lay on the ground, questioning his life choices, unprepared when a bullet blasted into his chest, nearly knocking the breath out of him.

Metal elemental psychic power is just that—could it not hurt so much!

What does 'I'm alright' even mean?

The Neanderthal elder couldn't comprehend fully, but it didn't sound like there was an issue. Like an agile panther, his old body dashed up steel columns and beams to the top of the shed, pushed open a corner of the wind cap, and slipped out.

Amidst a hail of bullets, a faint cry was heard.

Barut, holding "Blood Spike", pulled the pretending-to-be-dead Chen Fei up from the ground.

"Sniper's taken care of, it's safe now."

"Ow, old man, shall we continue?"

Chen Fei dusted himself off and then continued to crazily test his luck on the edge of death.
