Sky-cracking Rider

"'Rookie'? Why can you establish communication? Has even an S-Class Superpower User betrayed us?"

Unexpectedly receiving a call request from Chen Fei, the Command Center of the "Wall of Sighs," which was also swallowed and transferred by the "Grey Hole," was somewhat bewildered. In fact, they had noticed the abnormal data flow of the Cooperative Ship but hadn't considered that Chen Fei was behind it.

"As long as I want to, there will be more than one S-Class Superpower User who betrays, do you want to try?"

Chen Fei, like a simpleton, poked it back in a straightforward manner.

If you're not afraid, come and hit me!

"..."

The Command Center felt like a scholar faced with a brute and had no words to retort.

There's no point in arguing with Chen Xiao'er, and they're not daring to bet on this, as S-Class Superpower Users are involved; they can't afford to take the risk.

S-Class Superpower Users have a nearly closed small circle that outsiders can't break into. Who can guarantee that revealing one won't lead to a cascade effect? If they all turn against us, the entire Blue Star might be turned upside down.

"What? No words left? It's clearly not right, yet you're charging forward blindly, where's your vigilance? Heed the advice, or you're digging your own grave. Are you stupid? No, you're not stupid, you're malicious! Are soldiers not human to you, for you to be so reckless with lives? Meeting bastards like you is really bad luck..."

Chen Fei opened the public channel and started cursing openly. Without these bastards acting all self-important, he would have already evacuated from "Atlantis" and wouldn't have been caught up in this mess. Heaven knows what kind of hellhole this place is; he's completely in the dark.

Besides internal team communication, all external communications are unreachable, even the psi skill "Plane Communication System" can't make contact externally.

To know, even on the Emerald Star, the "Plane Communication System" could still connect to Blue Star's network.

But here, who knows in which corner of the universe they are, so remote that there isn't even a signal.

On the public communication channel, only Chen Fei's voice echoed, many people listened quietly, resonating with him. They're not afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of dying, only afraid that all their efforts are futile, completely meaningless.

The cabin of the Combat Mothership where the Command Center of "Wall of Sighs" is located fell utterly silent, Chen Fei's fury seeping into every corner.

Someone wanted to speak out against his ranting, but was stopped by the supreme commander, Huang Xiulun.

Not only did Chen Fei have grievances, but the combat forces also had a lot of grievances. Who the hell wants to be inexplicably exiled to such a place, especially when there were warnings beforehand.

"...Now, you people will pay the price for your mistakes!"

Chen Fei was a layman, once his temper flared, he didn't care about anything, first getting his anger out, moreover, these guys in power deserved the scolding in the first place.

Who knew that after the Command Center of "Wall of Sighs" got a scolding, not a word of rebuttal, not even a defense. When they responded next, they instead inquired with the S-Class Superpower User next to Chen Fei: "Mr. Brown, can you locate Blue Star? Even if it's the Solar System, it's fine."

Before this, the public channel was prematurely cut off because this question was quite sensitive, the consequences could be dire if not handled well.

However, on the bridge of the Cooperative Ship, all fifty members of the staff team pricked up their ears.

S-Class Space Ability Users have a special psi skill to set a "Space-Time Seed" at a certain location to perform teleportation.

Heseman Brown frowned slightly, his face turning pale rapidly, saying in a trembling voice: "I can't locate those points anymore." His tone carried a hint of panic.

Unable to connect with those "Space-Time Seeds," he had no way to locate, much less bring everyone back to Blue Star, not unlike being exiled on this unfamiliar star.

"Doomed!"

Chen Fei clapped his hands, then slumped into his seat, looking utterly exhausted, as if he's resigned to destruction, sooner the better.

Not only did he say that, but the advisers felt the same way in their hearts, they're really doomed!

On the bridge, the fifty people collectively looked ashen, far from ready to say farewell to their families forever. The sudden "Grey Hole" outbreak transported them and this city to an unknown location.

That dripping scolding from Chen Fei was absolutely not unjustified.

"Issue a gag order, no one is to leak anything, or face military law!"

The supreme commander, Huang Xiulun, issued an obligatory command with a pale face, instantly quieting the noisy corner of the Action Command Center, making it silent again, while others remained oblivious.

If those military leaders knew, chaos would surely ensue immediately; they are bunch of hotheads, as soon as they get worked up, all they know is kill, kill, kill.

The "Wall of Sighs" operation was initially a joint force composed of multiple sovereignties. If they follow orders, they'll be a strong federation with max combat power. But once things get out of hand, and morale wavers, they'll immediately turn into a disorganized mob.

Damn, there's no going back, might die on an alien star; who would want that!

After the Command Center of "Wall of Sighs" disconnected communication with the Cooperative Ship, the fifty members of the advisory group exchanged worried glances, some even swayed unsteadily.

The sole S-Class Space Ability User being unable to activate his psi skill was the worst possible news, equating to cutting off everyone's way home.

Chen Fei turned his head and looked at Heseman Brown, who had an ugly expression on his face, and asked softly, "Can we think of another way?"

Heseman Brown gritted his teeth, shook his head slowly, and then said, "Positioning through the 'space-time seed' is the only method. If we rely solely on spatial movement, it's simply impossible!"

Finding Blue Star in the vast universe is even harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Even with S-class psi skills, it's still utterly powerless; this is not something human strength can achieve.

In the group of fifty advisors, someone immediately realized that the most important issue now was not whether they could return, but the problem of survival, with filling bellies as the top priority.

"How long can our supplies last?"

After looking at each other, the group once again turned their gaze to Chen Fei.

"Don't worry, we can guarantee the survival of everyone for ten generations, of course, provided I'm still alive."

Chen Fei waved his hand, and the silver pattern on the back of his hand was exceptionally striking.

Originally, with the continuous "feeding" (supply of various materials) from Louis Industrial Company, plus the ark plan the sovereignties carried out, there was already a survival material reserve.

Sufficient for 300 years' worth of food and daily necessities for 10,000 people, totaling three to five million tons of mass, it still seems negligible compared to the enormous storage capacity of the "spatial branding".

However, if we want to develop agriculture and animal husbandry, with renewable resources, there's no way to do that.

"Spatial branding" is not a space that can accommodate living things. Once stored, they will automatically deactivate, with all animal embryos and plant seeds losing vitality, unable to regain it once extracted. The principle is unclear, probably related to space rules.

"Do we really have so much material?"

Heseman Brown and the fifty-member advisory group took a breath of cold air in unison; had they been waiting for this day to come?

Of course not.

It's just the foresight of Louis Industrial Company and the Blue Star sovereignties, and Chen Fei is not the only one who obtained these reserve resources.

Chen Fei said indifferently, "In a sense, 'spatial branding' is no less than S-class psi skills."

The storage capacity alone isn't something A-level or below supernatural power users can achieve.

There are psi skills similar to storage space, just not exceeding a hundred cubic meters, sufficient only for individuals or small teams.

If he dies, everything stops.

After all, it's a superpower acquired postnatally, not obtained through personal awakening, nor is it an alchemical storage artifact. Although convenient to use, the cost and limitations are equally significant.

"We still have to find a way back, Mr. Brown, I'm counting on you."

The head of the advisory group looked at Heseman Brown, relying on Chen Fei's "spatial branding" to survive here as a last resort.

To return home, this S-class spatial ability user is also the only hope.

One can also hope that in the next generation born here, there might be someone awakening powers that can connect with Blue Star or even bring people back, but this possibility is equally very slim.

"It seems there's some interference here, I... sigh, let me think of another way!"

Heseman Brown sighed, furrowing his brow, feeling helpless as his psi skills suddenly malfunctioned.

Once a supernatural power user awakens, their level is fixed, unlike other ability users who still have room for growth. Psi skills also vary by individual, requiring great effort to master the relevant tricks and methods.

But just like trees have their withering periods, and people have their limits, even S-class supernatural power users are no exception. Sometimes it's not about what they want, but whether they can actually do it.

"Hey, everyone, I need to lift the restrictions on 'Adam.' Can you grant me full access?"

Chen Fei clapped his hands, the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" being suppressed by technical restraints made it quite inconvenient to use, as if blocked at every turn, this couldn't work, that couldn't work, not free at all.

The head of the advisory group answered gloomily, "I'll check."

Moments later, most of the restrictions on the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" were lifted.

The cooperative ship slowly moved over "Atlantis," finally landing in the center of the city, atop a skyscraper with a base diameter of over 500 meters and a total height of 1,000 meters.

"'Adam,' connect to the city management center of 'Atlantis,' take full control of the city, deploy reconnaissance drones, collect environmental data, and prepare for satellite launch..."

Chen Fei efficiently issued instructions one by one.

He's an experienced hand at operations after landing on an alien star, having accumulated plenty of related experience in Emerald Star and three abnormal regions on Blue Star's surface.

The "spatial branding" on the back of his hand shone brilliantly, releasing over twenty thousand combat mechs, which began "clearing" the entire city, searching for signs of life, and tallying the usable materials.
