Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 390: Section 386 - Approach Close

The village chief Nikolayev was the last one to squeeze into the house, but when he saw one of the young women exposing her pale flesh, he couldn’t help but turn pale and exclaimed in shock, "Katyusha? What are you doing here, what, what is this?"

He stomped his feet in anger and urgency, obviously greatly disappointed.

Katyusha, the prettiest, gentlest, and kindest girl in Rakim Village, whom Nikolayev had intended to introduce to his nephew, a university student. It was supposed to be a match of talents and beauty, a pleasant topic of conversation.

But now, the village loafer’s indecent and chaotic party had completely destroyed the kindest and gentlest persona, plunging this girl from a beautiful impression into an unforgivable hell.

Obviously having heard rumors of the village chief’s intentions to introduce her to his talented nephew, the village beauty, pig-like, quickly covered her face, screaming in shame and anger.

"Nikolayev... no, it’s not me! Don’t look!"

The beautiful young body trembled slightly, pale and plump, as good cabbages often get ruined by wild boars.

"Which one of you is the ’Black Llama’?"

The female liaison officer Tanya was not interested in dealing with Rakim Village’s mess; she had already called headquarters.

Soon, people would be sent to arrest this group of debauched men and women, to face the law’s sanctions.

At least one thing was certain, the prison’s heating would be much more comfortable than a fireplace.

A-level Metal Ability user Kiterley used his special abilities to extract the bullets from the gunshot victim, and then Holy Knight Walter Sam handled the first aid. Although unavoidable and excruciating pain was involved, along with a lot of bleeding, ultimately leaving the person in a delirious state of anemia, at least his life was saved.

This was also due to the Puppet Master Joshua showing mercy; if those Constructed Puppet Warriors had shot at the head and other vital areas, unless one had an indestructible body like Chen Fei or Kiterley’s Special Ability Armor, not even a deity could have saved them.

"It was me, me!"

A skinny, tall young man, with a piece wrapped around his waist, hesitantly raised his hand, his face filled with panic and unease, his entire demeanor that of an addict, clearly no good.

Even if he didn’t confess now, someone would point him out on the spot, meaning he would suffer even more.

To become a village loafer, one is often not a fool, quite aware of the times.

"Recently, did someone from outside come to the village and buy something from you? You need to explain clearly!"

Tanya was straightforward with the village loafer, who no doubt was very familiar with the interrogation process.

"Yes, yes, two days ago, there were four people aboard a wind sailboat..."

Clearly no stranger to police teachings, the village loafer nicknamed "Black Llama," Glebnikov Ivanov Sikorsky, spilled everything like pouring beans, the time, place, characters, and events, a clean confession which the police probably found most satisfying and straightforward—no need to even tidy up, just copy it and you have a complete report, incredibly time-saving.

If one could ignore his addict look and the village loafer’s bad reputation, one might mistakenly think he had some kind of professional police identity.

"A wind sailboat?"

What the hell was that? Adrian imagined in his mind; it was all too fantastical.

It was hard to understand how such a vehicle could move freely through heavy snow.

"A ship-shaped sled moved by wind, if designed cleverly enough, it isn’t impossible!"

Used to seeing the heavy snows of Siberian winters, Tanya wasn’t astonished. Utilizing wind power was most appropriate over lakes, especially those solidly frozen over.

By fixing ice blades underneath and erecting a sail as large as a bedsheet, they could skate along aided by the wind. Once they gained momentum, the speed of movement was as fast as the wind.

This design not only allowed for ice skating but also snow, sand, grass, and concrete sliding, as long as there was a large, flat area available.

Just recently, the Tunguska Region had experienced heavy snow, driven by an Arctic cold stream that pushed winds of force five or six. If the wind-powered ski equipment was designed appropriately, it indeed was easy to maneuver quickly through snowy weather, with the incessant cold wind acting not as a hindrance but as an aid.

"This idea..."

Chen Fei shook his head; he hadn’t thought of this method that worked so smoothly in heavy snow.

In comparison, the Mobile Base Vehicle cutting through the snow seemed downright crude.

But to carry more than a dozen people and a Magical Beast like the Blue Scaled Colt, along with a substantial amount of supplies, using wind power might not be that easy.

"Black Llama" Glebnikov Ivanov Sikorsky sold at least a dozen biological tissues to the four strangers who arrived at Rakim Village via the wind sail sled.

Beneath the frozen plains of Siberia lay an entire prehistoric era. There’s a theory that Blue Star had a sudden magnetic pole shift, turning the equator into the poles and vice versa, reversing cold and heat. Many creatures were caught off guard by this sudden drop in temperature, becoming quickly frozen, so digging deep and wide enough under the frozen plains can definitely uncover many biological remains, with millennia-old ice preserving these tissues, not just of mammoths but also many other creatures from that era, even prehistoric humans.

Occasionally finding a piece or two of prehistoric creatures’ remains is quite common for people who have lived generation after generation in the frozen plains.

Tortoise shells from the Yin ruins had always been used as "keel" in medicine. Who could have imagined they were actually carriers of oracle bone script from the Yin Shang era and even earlier, incredibly precious historical materials.

"...They said they were going to Grafki Village."

Before female liaison officer Tanya could continue her questioning, Rakim’s "Black Llama" honestly confessed the bits of information he had half-heard, probably an unexpected gain, saving Tanya and Team 04 the "free friendly assistance" of doing a "memory awakening (severe torture)" on this guy.

"Grafki?"

Tanya pondered for a moment, then pulled out her tablet, scrolling through the digital map.

Having adjusted the map’s scale slightly, she quickly found the route and terrain between Rakim Village and Grafki Village.

There were no mountains, not even rivers, just a large area of marshland, and a small amount of woodland, which was extremely suitable for the movement of the sail snow sled.

After estimating the speed of the mobile base vehicle, she said, "From Rakim to Grafki, it will take about two hours by car. We should leave early rather than late, let’s set off immediately while it’s still light."

After speaking, Tanya said to the village chief, "Nikolayev, get some people over here to watch these guys and wait for the police to arrive. Don’t let anyone escape, or I will hold you responsible, and you will be an accomplice, partners in crime, understand?"

This was no personal vendetta, but official business, particularly upon hearing the words "accomplice" and "partners in crime," Village Chief Nikolayev, knowing that Black Llama and the others couldn’t escape this time, nodded frantically.

"Understood, understood!"

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, she hoped the other villagers would take this as a warning.

"To Grafki Village, let’s go!"

Adrian certainly understood the female liaison officer’s intention.

As long as they pursued them closely, they would eventually catch up with those guys who were buying up ancient biological samples everywhere.

Moments later, the mobile base vehicle pushed through the thick snow, stirring up a snowstorm, and burst out of Rakim Village towards Grafki Village further north.

When the wind speed was below eight (62-74km/h), the fully powered mobile base vehicle could easily catch up with the sail snow sled.

Luckily they had it, as other types of ground transportation couldn’t achieve such convenience, not to mention the Siberian tundra’s wild winter nights, which would also pose challenges and tests for Team 04, things they wouldn’t have to worry about at all now.

After two hours of speeding, the mobile base vehicle left clear visible tracks on the ground, drawing near to Grafki Village, over a hundred kilometers from Rakim Village. Enjoy new adventures from novelbuddy

The sky gradually began to darken.

The northern horizon faintly revealed colorful auroras.

Wisp of blue smoke emerged from the tops of chimneys within the village, quickly scattered by the cold wind.

"Look, there’s the mast!"

Adrian, who was leaning on the newly installed high platform periscope of the mobile base vehicle, shouted as he looked out.

He spotted the unusually high mast protruding from the center of the village, highly conspicuous in the vast white expanse.

With the mechanical lifting design of the vehicle’s roof extending from 0.3 meters to 2 meters and a high-powered zoom lens, it offered a broader field of vision and longer viewing distance than a personal telescope, especially useful for stationary observation without having to lie in the ice and snow.

Chen Fei suggested, "Let’s deploy a drone to take a look."

The mobile base vehicle was nearby outside the village, but its angle of view was limited, preventing clear observation.

"No, the drone is too noisy, and it might startle the snake, better not...

Adrian looked at the only bird’s nest inside the vehicle.

"Jiu?"

Seeing eyes cast over, the little one in the nest warbled uncertainly.

"Huh?"

Chen Fei was puzzled.

"Xiao Jiu should know the Light Mirror Spell, right?"

Adrian remembered that this little bird had once emitted some images, which seemed to be one of the Light-based Spells used for scouting.

It was especially suitable for stealthy, roundabout observation, particularly in the current environment.

"It seems, it seems like it does!"

Chen Fei suddenly realized.

He had never really focused on the little one’s skills; if Adrian hadn’t mentioned it, he might have completely forgotten.

Chen Fei didn’t like always putting Xiao Jiu into various fights; for something as small as a fist, it was far too dangerous.

Being cute was enough!

"Jiu!"

The little bird stood up in its nest, shaking its fluffy feathers.

So adorable!
