Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 690: Section 685 - Central Blossoming

"What on earth are you talking about?"
The Legion Commander of the "Undying Pigeon" legion, Valenya, had snatched Chen Fei for himself, partly wanting to see who this audacious person was that had managed to fend off his ace in the hole (an adult Metallic Dragon), and partly out of a desire to take credit.
After all, Chen Fei was the main culprit preventing the Rebel Army from capturing the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation. Being able to capture him alive was definitely considered a significant achievement.
To Chen Fei's disappointment, the other party had no dealings with those Parasitic Species. Instead, he was completely ignorant and wasn't even a Parasitic Host.
Just by looking at his expression, it was clear. His face showed a purely natural sense of cluelessness, definitely hearing the word "Sagali" for the first time. Otherwise, there would be some unnatural reaction, which would not escape Chen Fei's eyes and the micro-expression recognition algorithm of the AI "Adam."
Chen Fei tentatively asked, "You don't know the purpose of my visit to the 'Radiant Tiger' legion?"
Risking his life to come to Rebel territory, and even deliberately falling into a trap, from the "Radiant Tiger" legion's camp to the "Undying Pigeon" legion's camp, he wanted to see if the "Sagali" had infiltrated the Rebel Army at all.
After all, causing a large-scale rebellion on Zhai Liuzhou, drawing the attention of the Silan Dynasty and various parties, taking advantage of the Human Race's distraction for a stealthy invasion, such tactics were entirely consistent with the "Sagali's" modus operandi.
But up to now, he still hadn't found any parasitized hosts. Both camps were very "clean."
The fact that the Parasitic Species hadn't set their sights on the Rebel Army was truly unexpected.
After all, the Rebel Army was still a military force, not some common civil township. The army is full of experts, especially as the combat strength of Cangqiong Star's officers and soldiers was generally not low, even surpassing the average of the Blue Star military. For the "Sagali," it wouldn't be easy to make a move, as they could easily be detected. So instead of foolishly targeting the military, it was obviously much easier to target civilians who had no means of defense or resistance.
"All I know is you are one troublesome fellow, hey! For you, I have lost several excellent subordinates, so you'd better be of some value, otherwise..."
Valenya sneered coldly, not concealing his intentions or... his killing intent!
Breaking out from the "Radiant Tiger" legion, Valenya had reluctantly abandoned several of his elite guards. Their fate was almost certain—they would be torn to shreds by the enraged members of the "Radiant Tiger" legion.
Despite appearing to act arbitrarily and overbearingly, the Legion Commander of the "Undying Pigeon" didn't reach his position by being simple. He was very aware of the kind of retaliation his actions would provoke.
This "rookie" Chen Fei brazenly visited the "Radiant Tiger" legion. While Befas might choose to release him based on some ludicrous personal principle, Valenya certainly would not.
Setting aside morality, he only desired victory.
Currently, the legion that was responsible for capturing the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation in the suburbs of Nandu City was precisely the "Undying Pigeon," not to mention the previous legion that had failed to capture the substation and was nearly annihilated. As long as the "Undying Pigeon" could confirm Chen Fei was still in their grasp, the defense forces of the management substation would be considerably weakened.
On the tactical level, between offending the "Radiant Tiger" legion and making significant progress in their mission, the choice was easy to make.
Although the "Undying Pigeon" legion surrounding the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation hadn't made a move yet, that didn't mean they would give up on taking action. The rebel losses would eventually have to be reclaimed.
"Is it really my fault that you lost your subordinates? I'm just a commoner. I don't even have ten million Star Yuan to my name. My life isn't worth squat. Whether you kill me or let me go, just make it quick!"
Chen Fei disapproved. Since the other party had chosen to use force, they would have to accept the consequences.
Although he spoke as if he didn't fear death, killing him wasn't going to be an easy task for Valenya.
"Hehe, it won't be so easy for you to die. I won't kill you before we take down the portal management substation. If you cooperate obediently, I might let you go."
The Legion Commander of the "Undying Pigeon" legion was also skilled in psychological tactics. A mere supernatural power user pilot, without his combat aircraft, without his mechanical dragon, with those meager fighting abilities, without his special ability, he's nothing.
If it weren't for this young man's marginal utility, Valenya would have killed him without hesitation.
His visit was primarily to extract some valuable information from him, particularly regarding the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, which would be very useful for the actions of the "Undying Pigeon" legion moving forward.
But instead of valuable information, he heard about the inexplicable extraterrestrial race "Sagali," which was supposedly rejected by the "Halo" more than thirty years ago. Not only was the door closed, but it was also reconnected to a different entity. This kid was probably just scaremongering, trying to be mysterious!
Ha! He definitely wouldn't fall for it!
Bang!
The door was shut forcefully, and once again, the empty room was left with only Chen Fei caged and heavily restrained.
High polymer composite materials, specifically against Metal Ability Users, were much easier to find than metal restraining devices.
"Resistant to persuasion!"
Chen Fei tried to shake his head and sigh about his helpless situation, only to realize he couldn't even move his neck.
"""
"You really bind me like this and don't consider how I'm supposed to go to the bathroom?"
He squinted slightly, his gaze shifting continuously. In the seemingly empty air, he could see a long list very clearly.

Even without a Space System Alchemy Storage Device, there were simply too many tools to choose from in the "Physical Evolution Database" with over one hundred thousand samples. For Chen Fei, it was just a matter of spending some Energy Points.
Energy Points: 36433/45000
The daily replenishment and consumption of energy points usually fluctuated in the three digits, sometimes as little as a single digit and other times by the tens.
Chen Fei had never thought of filling up to 45000/45000. If the Energy Points overflowed, it would be like giving them away for free to the Dog System. He wasn't that foolish.
Thus, maintaining a reserve of around 35000 was just right. He'd rather provide Yilan with an extra meal than feed the Dog (System).
A number of geometrical bodies appeared on the surface of his body, their metallic luster gleaming as they combined rapidly. The metal control by the Metal Ability User combined with the precision of industrial-grade standards soon filled the cage with a buzzing sound.
Bang! The door was forcefully pushed open, but instead of Valenya, the Legion Commander of the "Undying Pigeon," it was several soldiers who stormed in.
How could there not be surveillance in the room where Chen Fei was imprisoned? Any small disturbance would prompt an immediate reaction.
Whish!~
At the same moment the soldiers rushed in, the cage and various restraints collapsed in unison, and using mini circular saws (angle grinder + saw blade = suicide) made cutting through the high polymer composites much easier than cutting through steel. In mere seconds, all the high polymer composite materials were reduced to pieces, the largest no bigger than a fist.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen!"
Chen Fei greeted the soldiers with a smile.
The soldiers also "responded" to him.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh...
The sound of the Railgun Combat Rifle was like the wind howling, with full metal bullets tearing through the air at five times the speed of sound, covering the short distance of two to three meters, and hitting Chen Fei's body without missing a single shot.
Is this... afternoon tea!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Chen Xiao'er's cries of pain were ceaseless.
The Psi Skill "Metal Devouring" had nearly become instinct for him. Even though he swallowed all the bullets, the massive kinetic energy couldn't be dissipated immediately, pushing him involuntarily against the wall and leading to a wall-hanging moment.
After a fierce round of shots, the soldiers of the "Undying Pigeon" legion were left stunned. What kind of monster was this that couldn't be killed by Railgun Combat Rifles?
At this moment, if someone casually threw a grenade, Chen Fei would probably die on the spot. He wasn't really invincible and immortal. Even though he was impervious to swords and guns, it was situational. If a layer of high polymer composite was wrapped around the full metal bullets, it would be tough to digest.
Countless tiny metal geometrical particles surged out from various parts of his body like a tide, rapidly assembling and disassembling, shielding him from the dense barrage of bullets from head to toe and wrapping Chen Fei tightly. Finally, a striking and fierce form emerged. Now, even throwing a grenade at him wouldn't work.
"Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor excelled in close-range assaults, with excellent protective capabilities, and it was also cost-effective. For just two energy points, half of which were used for "material simulation" in place of a kilogram of non-metallic materials.
The soldiers, whose Railgun Combat Rifle fire proved ineffective, were already calling for backup.
Boom!~
Karma struck quickly, as Valenya blasted a gaping hole in the wall of the "Radiant Tiger" legion's command center barracks.
Less than a day had passed, and a whole wall of their own "Undying Pigeon" legion's barracks was blown away. Although it wasn't the command center's barracks, it wasn't far away, just a few steps away, in fact.
The debris from the blasted wall even struck down several soldiers passing by, smashing their heads and causing bloody injuries, with one or two likely suffering serious bone damage.
The same Railgun Combat Rifle that couldn't harm Chen Fei clad in "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor allowed Chen Fei to knock down others with impunity. The bullets pierced through bodies and barracks alike; the scene was utterly gruesome.
A fireball fell from the sky, accompanied by dense wind blades, and even the ground beneath was trembling with Elemental Energy.
Explosions mixed with the howling wind, and dozens of spikes shot out from the ground, turning Chen Fei's location into a field of death.
But the next second, the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor, gleaming with silver war pattern light, appeared a hundred meters away. In his hand, the Railgun Combat Rifle was replaced by a sleek, shoulder-height, conical cold weapon, with a sharp end adorned with shimmering tassels and the cone's surface covered in ever-flowing silver patterns.
The exclusive weapon "Blood Spike," designed to match the Neanderthal Secret Technique "Fight to the Death," could be wielded with almost instantaneous movement effects.
