The "Dimensional Gate" transferred back from Habulav was separated from the Target Low Temperature Nuclear Fusion Energy Tower providing power. The former was stored in the "Spatial Branding," while the latter remained directly in the camp. A nearby city gradually emerged, and the inevitable demand for energy would only grow larger.

"Boss!"

Chen Fei was about to enter the life space of the "Boundary Pearl" to handle some matters delayed by his stay in Habulav, but someone called him.

On Socotra Island, not many people would call him "Boss." Those transferred from Habulav certainly wouldn't address him this way, neither would Miyoshi Monk and Mr. Brown, and the Old Party who practiced "Mute Zen?" Let's forget it, considering his age!

"What's the matter?"

Chen Fei looked in the direction of the voice. It was Lu Man, an S-level Psychic Ability User, greeting him.

The group of seven, led by him, were left on Socotra Island to fend for themselves—no, to reflect and think. They did not enter the "Skylight" city within the life space of the "Boundary Pearl," unlike those associated with the Louis Industrial Company chain. The trust issue was compounded by Habulav's scapegoating, and the "Boundary Pearl" was not to be opened to these outsiders.

As the supernatural ability suppressant had not yet worn off, Lu Man was no different from ordinary people. After reverting to his true form, the former swagger also disappeared. Embarrassed, he asked, "Are those people from Habulav?"

Among the people who recently arrived on Socotra Island, he actually saw quite a few familiar faces, even recalling their names.

"You're right, they're all staff from Habulav."

Chen Fei nodded, as Lu Man and the others had stayed in Habulav for a while, so it wasn't surprising to see familiar faces.

Confused, Lu Man asked, "Did something happen in Habulav?"

The sudden arrival of people from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee Headquarters on this barren island at the mouth of Aden Bay was baffling unless... something bad had happened.

"Mutant 'flood,' the entire city became ruins."

Chen Fei blamed the large grieving mutants for the problem.

Not even a thousand mutants managed to enter Habulav District. They were either shot down by the city's automatic defense system outside the city, with their bodies and the further-off living beings fed to the "Life Tree" within the life space of the "Boundary Pearl." Both inside and outside the city were clean and neat, with no bodies to be found.

Most of the reasons for Habulav becoming a ruin were due to internal strife, but partly it was because of Chen Fei, the catalyst.

If a ruler is not vigilant, he loses his ministers; if ministers are not vigilant, they lose their lives. If affairs are not handled discreetly, they result in catastrophe. The good capture of a human traitor turned into a private grudge conflict over sovereignty, culminating in a messy and disastrous situation. No wonder the Blue Star people scornfully laughed at the peasants of Cangqiong Star under feudal monarchical control; it almost became a classic joke of Blue Star.

"'Flood,' how large of a 'flood'?"

Lu Man inhaled sharply.

Since establishing its headquarters in Habulav, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee had experienced thousands of mutant "floods." Although there were critical situations more than once, they never had to relocate personnel on such a large scale to escape.

Given such an extent of evacuation, it was indeed as Chen Fei said: Habulav was completely devastated by the mutants.

Chen Fei thought for a moment and said, "Quite large, at least within half a year, no living mutants would be spotted in the heartland of the Yangzhou Continent."

The mutants of the Yangzhou Continent were not only distributed in the Central Great Desert, and his spiritual power wasn't enough to cover the entire continent. Mutants from afar would take considerable time to reach Habulav and reoccupy the vacated area.

Perplexed, Lu Man asked, "Ah? Can't be seen? Isn't it a 'flood'? How did they all disappear?"

Chen Fei's reversal of words caught him off guard, almost causing his mind to twist into a roadside ditch.

Since everyone had already fled, it indicated that the mutant "flood" in Habulav was beyond control. How could they all have vanished? Was it an Element Annihilation Bomb sweeping, or simply another shot of nuclear weapons?

The ecology of the Yangzhou Continent could no longer withstand a nuclear blitz. Who knows what new mutation would occur after another forced strike? Perhaps even human beings would evolve next.

War between civilizations is never simple. This is only the aftereffect of today's Blue Star human civilization and the Third Era Civilization remnants clashing, wounding the homeland greatly.

"Of course, they were wiped out. I did manage to bring an airship cluster."

Chen Fei pointed to a now-empty corner of the camp, which had been the resting point for the First Airship Combat Cluster, now only housing a few large transport airships delivering supplies from sovereign states.

"I see! Sorry, I was just a bit worried earlier!"

Lu Man suddenly understood, naturally assuming that Chen Fei's airship cluster solved the mutant super "flood" causing Habulav's fall.

Chen Fei then pointed out the urban buildings outside the camp, kindly warning, "Avoid too much contact with those from Habulav; it could pose a life risk."

Though the drafted blond girl was brought in, Habulav ultimately had hundreds of thousands of people. How could it be possible to interrogate them all in such a short time? Currently, the main focus was on the combat personnel remaining in Habulav's C-district training hall. No one could guarantee that there weren't any stragglers left on Socotra Island.

The small high-level ability user group led by Lu Man (1S+6A) could easily become the target of other forces trying to recruit them for nefarious ends, potentially causing some difficult situations.

Eventually, Chen Fei would have to be ruthless when tidying up these messes, so he administered this precautionary measure in advance to prevent unnecessary trouble for himself in the future.

"Why, why's that?"

Lu Man initially thought there would be some intervention from Habulav when he and his companions were stranded on this barren island, but he didn't expect to hear a death threat in Chen Fei's words.

"Heh, you know too much!"

Chen Fei glanced at him with a smile; his intelligence was inadequate, after all, failing to catch the underlying implications.

Having abilities without intelligence, isn't that just a typical fodder tool person?

Numerous people probably wanted to make Chen Fei their pawn, but Chen Fei held firm, even earning himself the additional title of "tyrant." Anyone plotting against him would have to consider his ruthless tenacity. When he goes berserk, even the biological son of the "Lord of the Sky" could be beat to a pulp. If it were anyone else, they'd be terrified, remembering the time-honored martial aphorism: "The bold fear the reckless, the reckless fear the fearless, the fearless fear the mad, and the mad fear the impetuous."

"Hmm!"

Instinctively, Lu Man covered his mouth in the first instance. He finally realized Habulav's issue wasn't merely a mutant "flood" but likely involved something else. For a small fry like himself, it'd be best to heed Chen Fei's advice to avoid courting death.

Chen Fei poked the chest of the young S-Class supernatural power user and continued, "Also, keep your companions' mouths and curiosity in check. Don't force me to silence you personally. A mere S-level Psychic Ability User is nothing to me, you got it! Understand?"

A pale-faced Lu Man quickly nodded his head like a pecking chicken, realizing his S-level spiritual power was a complete joke here, utterly subdued—otherwise, how could he be captured so easily and injected with a supernatural ability suppressant?

"Good, be a good boy, and get lost!"

Chen Fei's tone changed again, harshly driving him away.

Watching Lu Man's flustered figure move away, he couldn't help but sigh. The gap between people is indeed vast. Why is the difference between S-Class superpower users so significant!

The next second, his figure vanished from the original spot and reappeared in the central building of "Atlantis," arriving on Louis Landon's office floor.

Chen Fei did not have a fixed office in the two "Skylight" cities of the "Boundary Pearl" life space, nor was it necessary. He could find anyone at any time through the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam," or relevant personnel could always contact him.

The barrier of the "Life Tree" now covered the two "Skylight" cities, meaning Chen Fei could move directly to any location at will.

This mode of movement was not Spatial Ability User's psi skill "Space Transmission" but rather utilized the spatial rules of the "Boundary Pearl," having a similar effect.
