Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 811: Section 806 - New Task

When acquaintances meet, a few drinks bring the conversation to life.

Like everyone else, Mouri Misono returned to her former military contractor after serving in the Bear Hunting Special Operations Division of the Joint Defense Committee. With her newfound credentials, she was promoted to the head of ground forces at several Aircrew Bases on the Africa continent for Fuji Security Group. She managed everything concerning weapons at these bases, except for the planes.

During her promotion, there were naturally a few whining competitors, who were promptly sent to worse places, either through lateral transfers or fake promotions, ending up guarding toilets or warehouses, or managing files. As a result, Section Chief Mouri quickly found some peace.

Chen Fei also shared his experiences, which were starkly different from Mouri Misono's steady grind until retirement at the Aircrew Base. He accepted a field mission and got stuck on Cangqiong Star for several months, traversing three continents, crossing perilous oceans, and participating in a civil war within a dynasty. Surviving was due to luck, resilience, and timely aid from powerful allies. Missing any one of these, he would not have made it back.

"Here's to survival!"

Hearing Chen Fei's story, Mouri Misono sympathized; they were both unfortunate souls walking the line between life and death.

"Here's to survival!"

Cheers!~

Two glasses of clear spirits downed in one go, with their bottoms up, turning strong liquor into the grandeur of fine wine.

Cheers!~

Another sound came from Chen Fei.

He frowned slightly and said, "There's news."

A line of text popped up in front of him.

Since AI "Adam" handed over the "Underlying Core Control Key," Chen Fei trusted it with managing his cloud account.

This meant that text messages received on his phone and the AI were synchronized.

"What news?"

Mouri Misono grabbed a roast chicken leg, tearing off a bite to suppress the rising alcohol.

"I picked up a scale, not just any scale, but a Silver Dragon Scale!"

Results from the biological lab had just come out, immediately reported to Chen Fei. The outcome was unexpected.

It wasn't a monster scale at all but a Space Series Silver Dragon Scale, a detail deeply unsettling.

Could a hapless Silver Dragon have been swallowed by a monster?

It didn't make sense!

How could a member of the Dragon Clan's Law Enforcement Team be so weak?

"Rookie! Did you really find that Silver Dragon Scale at the rescue point? Hic!"

A VIP communication agent from the command center followed up, hiccupping after her message, suggesting she had been called back to duty unexpectedly.

Being a one-on-one communication, she likely wouldn't have been eager to contact anyone else but Chen Fei.

"Indeed, but I didn't find any trace of dragons."

Chen Fei confirmed truthfully and provided more information.

Anything concerning the Dragon Race was serious business. He had once killed an adult Metallic Dragon, causing Blue Star Civilization some tense moments. Sky Dragon City dispatched dragon investigators, and Blue Star couldn't refuse.

"So that's how it is? Oh, this is serious!"

The communication agent also felt the gravity of the situation.

It could be possible that a Silver Dragon got swallowed or even perished, which was far worse than losing a less competent Metallic Dragon.

When a Metallic Dragon was vaporized by Sparrows on Zilu Continent, Sky Dragon City merely acknowledged it with a dismissive nod. Even the kindred Dragon King was indifferent, let alone dragons from other series.

The last adult Metallic Dragon had stirred diplomatic issues leading to an investigation mostly to reclaim its Dragon Crystal. If not for its unauthorized crossing of realms, it would have been considered just another casualty, like the unfortunate one on Zilu Continent, dying ignominiously and sparking no more interest than a passing remark. The sentiment among Metallic Dragons could easily be: "Die far away, would you?" Possibly they were even grateful for such deaths, thinking if integrity was something that could be eaten.

"Quickly report this!"

Compared to the insignificant death of a Metallic Dragon, Sky Dragon City's concern for a Space Series Silver Dragon's safety was significantly higher. Upon discovering that the scale he picked up came from a Silver Dragon, Chen Fei mentally prepared for further interactions with dragons, thinking: once strange, twice familiar.

Nowadays, Sky Dragon City had become a down-to-earth tourist spot, no longer an elusive sanctuary. Dragons integrated into the broader intelligent species society were easier to deal with, no longer posing unreasonable challenges.

"Already reported!"

The communication agent promptly confirmed Chen Fei's words.

This matter should rather be the worry of those higher-ups.

She continued, "The command center plans to dispatch Space System Ability Users to the invasion site tomorrow morning, and you might be on the list. Be prepared to assemble at 6 AM."

Initially, Blue Star Global United Defense Committee's pretenses

Chen Fei asked, "Can I use this airship?"

Approaching the black vortex cloud, whether in the sky or on the ground, the density and number of monsters would increase. Without the airship, he might only protect himself, not necessarily others.

It's a different scenario compared to the previous rescue of contractors at Aircrew Base 223.

"Yes!"

The command center likely recognized that Chen Fei's combat effectiveness relied heavily on equipment, thus wouldn't refuse.

The command center stationed in the flagship's cabin might relocate, with choices like Snow Mountain or Base 223 being viable, or even deploying along with the airship. Each option had its benefits.

Chen Fei boldly asked, "Will I get Dragon Slayer Missiles?"

With Dragon Slayer Missiles, his combat capability could at least double. Whenever in doubt—use a missile. If one doesn't solve the problem, use two!

"Granted! You get two, but must seek permission before deployment."

The communication agent conveyed the command center's plan, gratefully lifting restrictions for once.

The current head of Marin Kai Sovereignty had crumbled; the interim leadership was still struggling. Even employing unconventional tactical-level weapons like Dragon Slayer Missiles wouldn't raise objections.

Initially arriving under the guise of an observer, now the excuse was apt to observe the black vortex cloud closely.

"What about the special antidote for the Supernatural Ability Suppressant?"

Chen Fei felt emboldened, looking forward to fully unleashing his B-level supernatural ability.

The power of ton-class Thermobaric Bombs was formidable, but their break-defense effect and sheer destructive force fell short compared to Dragon Slayer Missiles equipped with Element Annihilation Bombs.

If not for that pesky suppressant, he alone could wipe out any obstructive elements within Marin Kai Sovereignty and even dismantle Poer Sovereignty next door.

"Uh…"

The communication agent hesitated; the call seemed blocked, descending into an eerie silence. Moments later, her voice resumed.

"The chief strategist asked me to tell you, 'Wishful thinking!'"

This was a stark slap of cold water.

Everyone knew of Chen Xiao'er's thirst for more.

Nobody was a true fool. Given the items stored in the Spatial Branding on his hand, taking over a sovereignty without Sky Knights might be impossible, but crushing its leadership team was entirely feasible.

So that suppressant needle indeed showed foresight; allowing Chen Fei to unleash himself recklessly would be perilous. He might become uncontrollable, doing something crazy even to himself, pulling off unthinkable feats.

If a Blue Star civilian played a solo game of annihilating nations outside, could Blue Star Sovereignties still coexist harmoniously? Likely not, even implicating his major financier, Louis Industries.

"Wishful thinking!" was already a considerate response to Chen Fei.

"Alright!"

Chen Fei knew the antidote would be hard to obtain, but he hadn't expected it to be this difficult.

"Who were you chatting with?"

Mouri Misono, unknowingly drunk, had already devoured most of the snacks in the paper wrapping. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Fortunately, she was a familiar confidant; an unfamiliar person might have deemed him mentally ill—of the severely deranged kind.

Chen Fei, who hadn't managed to drink with Mouri Misono, replied, "The command center, there's a mission early tomorrow."

This need not be concealed; she would certainly know by tomorrow morning. There was no risk of leaking information, as Mouri Misono couldn't possibly collude with parasitic species or invading monsters.

"Can I join? There's nothing major here anyways, I'd love to go see what's going on."

Given the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee's large-scale mobilization, Section Chief Mouri could easily guess it involved dangerous situations, sparking her hunting instinct.

Now, with a large group of Ability Users stationed at Base 223, and surrounding monsters decimated drastically, there would be no issues for a while, allowing her to leave for a short period.

"Alright, I'll ask for you."

Having collaborated before, Chen Fei knew her combat skills well. As a Wind Series Eighth Rank War Professional, Mouri Misono was qualified to join the Ability User Observer team.

As he expected, the command center approved her participation, acknowledging her capabilities and credentials, without reason to refuse.

"Approved, 6 AM tomorrow on this airship!"

Chen Fei relayed the message to Mouri Misono.

"Got it, early to bed, early to rise. I'm off!"

Mouri Misono patted Chen Fei's shoulder, responsibly concluding the drinking session, swaying as she left.
