Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 806: Section 801 - Area of Doubt

Using the relentless waves of monsters to set traps for himself, Chen Fei's idea was excellent and very logical.

But the problem arose...

Where do the Metallic Dragons get any sophisticated techniques from? Once the fight starts, just go all out.

Who knows where Yilan found an unlucky Tom, emulating a dragon, and compiled a whole set of Metallic Dragon combat techniques for Chen Xiao'er, and each move was straightforwardly named things like "Kitten Pounces on the Mouse," "Kitten ****."

In short, it was action programming, stringing together a series of routines, and finally assigning a shortcut call name. A roar that shakes mountains and rivers, "Kitten Pounces on the Mouse," and the Mechanical Dragon would lower its head, flatten its back, its four claws alternating quickly and lightly shaking, readying for action. In an instant, its back arched like a bow, pouncing out fiercely, Blade Wings blocking, claws and teeth attacking in unison—the sound and sight both unbearably grotesque.

Do you still expect the Dragon of Slaughter to be more serious?

No!

Not making things worse is already considered a blessing, don't expect more.

Another move "Kitten Stretches," then "Kitten Shows Belly," and yet another "Kitten Swings Tail." The mighty and unyielding Mechanical Dragon learning from the cat teacher, like a Metallic Dragon, all over covered with sharp points. If you get scratched or touched anywhere, you'll either be dead or crippled. In no time at all, the body would hang with monster corpses everywhere. Finally, a move "Kitten Shakes Fur," and all the corpses would be flung away instantly.

As long as the Crystal Energy reserves were sufficient, these fleshy monsters relying solely on numerical superiority wouldn't be able to take down the pinnacle of Louis Industrial Company's technology, the ultimate representative of Conceptual Armament—the highly imitative Metallic Dragon's X-D-005 giant dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor—wouldn't even manage to break the defense.

Under Chen Fei's control, the completely unrestrained Mechanical Dragon set up a full martial array, rampaging through the monster crowd, slaughtering left and right, especially with the addition of multiple Magic Arrays and Psi Skills like the "High-Frequency Oscillation Module." Truly, anything that touched it died. In seconds, within a few miles radius, blood flowed like rivers and corpses lay everywhere.

The kill count quickly surpassed three thousand, and there were no longer any monsters recklessly charging in. Even the numbers of those wandering around had reduced.

"'Adam,' tally the kill data!"

Half-lying inside the Mechanical Dragon, Chen Fei still hadn't received the result from big data analysis, whether from "Adam" or the Command Center.

Adam: Monster kills 3442!

The faithful Artificial Intelligence AI recorded every kill and instantly calculated the statistics.

Fortunately, like the mutants, they had no brains, charging heedlessly against such a huge casualty ratio. If it were a human army, a 10% loss would compel a retreat, a 30% loss would cause a full collapse, and a 60% loss would almost guarantee the disbandment of the entire unit.

Without specific weaponry and tactical plans, dealing with these monsters would be quite a headache.

Took down over three thousand in half an hour. The Mechanical Dragon did justice to Louis Industrial Company's latest Conceptual Armament. This round of advertising effect is through the roof. The Blue Star Global United Defense Committee is probably considering ordering a few units to bolster their arsenal.

"Still haven't found the directive individual?"

Chen Fei glanced at the electronic map, with the total monster count within ten miles now below a hundred.

"Adam" and the Command Center together, leveraging each other's strengths, and they had already feigned weakness to lure the enemy. With so many kills, it wouldn't make sense to come up empty-handed, right?

Adam: Four suspicious areas identified, data samples incomplete.

The large matrix formed by the drone swarm monitored more than a hundred thousand monsters simultaneously. Using the "Startle the Snake by Hitting the Grass" maneuver, Chen Fei deduced the directive individual's hideout based on their correlated reactions and response times.

"'Rookie,' directive individual might be in one of three areas."

With one sentence, Chen Fei received two answers. His inquiry targets were both "Adam" and the Command Center, and this dual-response method worked well too.

"Adam" and the Command Center each marked out suspicious areas, only two of which overlapped partially. Due to differing calculation models, misjudgments were inevitable.

The preliminary results from both sides were shared reciprocally and merged, marking out areas A, B, C, D, and E.

"Then let's start with the overlapping areas D and E, now begin the operation, and re-supply Crystal Energy en route."

Chen Fei made a prompt decision.

Better safe than sorry, clearing the field first was undoubtedly correct.

The Mechanical Dragon's Crystal Energy reserves were at 71%, enough to handle the next battle. Although Chen Fei's own Psi Skill could also continuously provide some Crystal Energy, unforeseen events could happen anytime, and counting on luck wasn't wise.

Fortune doesn't strike twice, but misfortune never comes alone; it's best to prepare in advance to avoid chaos when accidents happen.

"Supply drone is 3.5 kilometers away, ready to provide supply at any time!"

A strangely-shaped drone gently rotated its four engine arms, aiming at the Mechanical Dragon's direction.

"Requesting supply!"

Chen Fei deftly controlled the Mechanical Dragon, its four claws alternately running across the desert, heading towards area D, maintaining a speed below 60 kilometers per hour to facilitate re-supply during movement.

The supply drone descended from the sky, landed on the Mechanical Dragon's back, and their energy ports connected, the Crystal Energy flowing.

Seconds later, the Mechanical Dragon's Crystal Energy reserves reached 100%. The supply drone lingered briefly, then took off, almost exhausting its Crystal Energy cargo with this supply.

Adam: Distance to area D is 80 kilometers, expected to arrive in 85 minutes.

"'Rookie,' you are 80 kilometers from area D, expected to arrive in 85 minutes."

This dual communication sometimes resulted in similar repeated responses.

"Received! Continue comprehensive surveillance."

Chen Fei guessed that the directive individual's intelligence wasn't high; the opposing force's sophisticated enveloping tactics during the battle with the two airships should have been its intellectual limit.

On the electronic map, light spots representing each monster densely populated, the area just vacated by the Mechanical Dragon became sparse with light spots. However, around the Mechanical Dragon, several light spots seemed attracted, desperately trying to catch up.

If the directive individual had any higher intelligence, it wouldn't senselessly send so many monsters to their deaths, just like a fish caught on a hook, unable to let go.

Eighteen hours remained on the mission. It seemed ample, but without haste, it could easily be wasted.

So... the Mechanical Dragon, now replenished with Crystal Energy, flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Eighty kilometers distance, no more than ten minutes to reach.

"Gagagaga!~"

"Grr..."

"Roar!!"

All sorts of roars gathered together when the Mechanical Dragon reached area D. The monster density tripled at least. Each one looked up ferociously at the sky; those still capable of flight rose immediately, filling the sky densely.

Seeing the monsters ready on the ground and in the sky, Chen Fei sighed, "It's a pity there's no 'Dragon Slayer Missile,' otherwise, firing one now would be beautiful!"

"'Rookie,' no 'Dragon Slayer Missile' or Element Annihilation Bomb authorized for use!"

The operator lady reminded Chen Fei to get to work and stop daydreaming.

"Alright! Let's start with a Thermobaric Bomb to wake these guys up."

Under Chen Fei's control, the Mechanical Dragon didn't dive towards the ground but ascended again, dropping a short and thick bomb directly.

As an upgraded version of the Cloud Bomb, the ton-class Thermobaric Bomb was a real building-demolition artifact. The instantaneous explosive shockwave could even disperse clouds in the sky.

After dropping the bomb, the Mechanical Dragon began circling the maximum damage radius of the detonation point, surrounded by a horde of flying monsters, which weren't slow either.

Chen Fei wasn't worried. The more monsters gathering now, the thicker the meat shield against the shockwave would be, reducing the impact on the Mechanical Dragon.

The Thermobaric Bomb self-detonated at 50 meters above the ground; the sheer explosive power instantly swept everything within a 300-meter radius on the ground, flinging countless monsters into the sky.

The monsters chasing the Mechanical Dragon wobbled as if shaken, then fell like raindrops. Following the same path as the monsters flung skyward, their fates ended the same. Even without external injuries, their internal sensitive organs were damaged instantly, especially balance organs like the semicircular canals.

Even if they hovered outside the maximum damage radius of the Thermobaric Bomb,

"The power is tremendous. The directive individual might be within."

The voice of the operator came into Chen Fei's ear, many observing the Thermobaric Bomb's effect alongside him.

"No, no kill confirmed!"

The Dog System lacked confirmation of mission completion. Chen Fei realized this strike only wiped out a bunch of minions, while the main target remained at large, hiding somewhere unknown.

With a push of the control stick, the Mechanical Dragon dived once more towards the ground, its high-frequency vibrating Sharp Edge slicing low, and any monster touched by its swinging tail split into pieces instantly. freewebnøvel.com

It flew by, causing a trail of blood and carnage.

Three horizontal and three vertical waves later, Chen Fei said, "The directive individual shouldn't be in area D!"

Repeatedly cutting through the swarming monsters, no signs indicated an extraordinary gathering to protect a directive individual. The monsters here still aimed directly at the Mechanical Dragon, attacking relentlessly and replacing every fallen one with two more, seemingly endless.

Adam: Area E shows the presence of a communal-type mutant, "Jet Sand Scorpion SS-0132," with a count of 1871.

"Anything unusual?"

The mutants acted on instinct, often fighting and eating each other. The arriving monsters wouldn't give them any respect.

When he reached the border between Marin Kai Sovereignty and Poer Sovereignty, Chen Fei observed a massive brawl between monsters and mutants.

"'Jet Sand Scorpion SS-0132' is coexisting peacefully with the monsters."

The operator replied on behalf of "Adam," pointing out the anomaly.

To survive, mutants and monsters were natural enemies, never to coexist. How could they now live in peace?

So not merely unusual, it was suspiciously abnormal.
