Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1202 1173: Miyoshi's Calamity
Thousands of "Worker Bee-1" mechanical beings were flying back and forth in the void, either alone grabbing fragmented biological tissue or working together to push large fragments of debris, some originating from the "Seed Nest" McKenny, others from the Combined Biological Space Mothership.
After collecting about thirty large pieces of debris, Chen Fei assigned the task of gathering the numerous flesh and blood fragments scattered within a two-light-second radius to Square Head Square Brain, a "Worker Bee-1" mech with four long claws. Once enough mass was gathered, he would swiftly bring it into the "Spatial Branding".
When they had collected roughly half of the estimated total mass, Chen Fei and the others, along with the small transport airship, retreated directly, leaving the scene to thousands of "Worker Bee-1" mechs to continue the uninterrupted collection of flesh and blood remnants. It would take at least more than half a month to clean up the entire area within two-light-second radius.
In the No.2 Star System, there were no other entities capable of traversing the void, so Chen Fei was not worried about being plundered or concerned about decay; he could come to collect another batch at any time.
Not lingering long in the No.2 Star System, the S-Class Space Ability User activated "Space Transmission" to bring Chen Fei and others back to Socotra Island at the mouth of Aden Bay on Blue Star, where major infrastructure construction was underway. After all, before, it was nothing more than a refugee camp, and since Habulav could no longer settle here, the reconstruction plan would take at least more than half a year. Therefore, the personnel transferred through the C district No.11 training hall "Stargate" had to remain for a longer period, necessitating a revamp of the current foothold.
Only a third of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee's top brass remained, the others either killed or imprisoned. The blonde girl Nicole von Sasha, tasked with urgent interrogations, was resolutely sorting out every suspicious character, within which the serious offender prison handed over by Chen Fei was not lacking in relevant professionals.
The surviving committee executives were convening an emergency meeting, not without some bickering.
After searching the camp inside and out, Chen Fei couldn't find Miyoshi, the bald thief, and no one answered the communication number. Just when he was about to instruct the AI "Adam" to start a search, someone took the initiative to approach him.
"'Rookie,' hello, I'm Brian, a director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
The other party introduced themselves.
Chen Fei, however, shook his head.
"No, no, no, your name is not Brian, and you are not a director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the head of logistics, Mr. Hass. Please don't joke around casually; I'm not familiar with you!"
The moment the self-proclaimed director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brian, appeared in front of Chen Fei, the AR visual assistance interface revealed the person's true identity.
It's very impolite to lie to someone's face, so he was not indulging; he unceremoniously exposed it on the spot.
As there was no suspect record for this head of logistics, Hass, Chen Fei only pointed it out and didn't directly summon a Combat Mech to throw the guy into the sea for a couple of sips to wake up, lest he forgets who he is because he inhaled too much.
"Uh..."
Hass was momentarily speechless, never expecting to be unable to bluff his way through and for the other party to recognize his true identity at a glance.
"How, how did you know?"
Chen Fei pointed at his head and said irritably, "I've acquired a considerable portion of Habulav's permissions, which includes everyone's file information, so if you have something to say, just say it straightforwardly, don't treat others like fools."
The appearance of this person almost allowed him to guess the reason for Miyoshi Xuesen's sudden disappearance, as the internal strife of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee had started up again, vying for power and profit; was it really so enjoyable? Just managing to get out of the swamp of Habulav, and they were eagerly starting to stir shit again.
Hegel wasn't wrong at all: the only lesson humanity learns from history is that humanity has not learned any lesson from history.
Chen Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of clawing anxiety; though the salaries and benefits at the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee Headquarters were generous, he still felt Jiu Defense Company suited him best because everywhere else was full of schemes and intrigues. Not to mention the unease, what's more essential is the exhaustion; perhaps only those who love the thrill of strife and never tire of it would enjoy such a life.
The logistics head, Hass, seeing that he couldn't bluff his way, shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "Alright! I need you to report to us, please follow me!"
After speaking, he turned and left!
I'm not pretending anymore, just end it!
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Fei, however, had no intention of following him; he remained fixed in place, immovable.
"?"
Hass turned around, frowning, looking at Chen Fei in bewilderment.
He had explained very clearly, so why was this young man still not willing to comply?
"You, you have no qualification, nor the authority to make me report; my contact liaison is Miyoshi Xuesen, and besides him, I acknowledge no one!"
Chen Fei wouldn't let any unknowns order him around; he wouldn't go wherever summoned or listen to whoever called.
Hass pointed at himself and earnestly said, "Miyoshi? Miyoshi made a big mistake and is awaiting processing, you don't need to wait for him any longer, from now on, I'm your liaison."
"The process isn't right, I don't recognize it!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Fei returned the favor with a blunt refusal.
Any random person trying to replace the monk and then expecting Chen Fei to obediently listen to them, how is that possible? He's not a three-year-old child who has to believe whatever others say.
Living in the Jianghu, how can one be so naive? Otherwise, one day, they'd be sold out and still count money for their seller.
"What do you want?"
Hass's voice carried a trace of anger, but he was forcibly suppressing it.
"If you want to change the liaison, you must bring Miyoshi Monk over for an in-person handover, otherwise, I refuse to acknowledge it!"
Chen Fei insisted on procedural justice; he's not someone who's easily fooled.
The other party was hiding their identity from the start, unwilling to tell the truth. Even after being exposed, they were too lazy to even pretend anymore, making it hard not to suspect hidden intentions or even malice.
The internal strife in Habulav inevitably affected Socotra Island here; indeed, wherever there are people, there is Jianghu, even hiding here couldn't avoid it.
"I am from the headquarters, responsible for handing over with you, understood?"
Hass finally couldn't hold back his anger, and his voice increased in volume.
Clack, clack, clack, clack... More than a dozen combat mechs stormed over like the wind, raising their railgun combat rifles and aiming them all at him.
Hass's embarrassment and anger vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared, damn it, these people know no martial ethics!
Under the gunpoint, one has to submit. If he dared to say half a "no," he'd be riddled with bullet holes in an instant. With the speed and power of a railgun combat rifle, it wouldn't take two seconds to turn him into a heap of minced meat.
To deal with "Sagali," Chen Fei customized a large batch of film-coated ceramic alloy bullets, divided into high-explosive bombs, incendiary bombs, armor-piercing shells, and dum-dum bullets. No one knew what kind of bullet would be fired with the first shot from a gun fitted with a combination magazine.
Chen Fei said expressionlessly, "I don't care who you are, I only acknowledge Miyoshi!"
If the other party was willing to die, he would absolutely be willing to bury them.
This is not Habulav; now the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee is embroiled in internal conflict, with deep-seated contradictions between sovereignties. If someone were to die unexpectedly, even God wouldn't know who did it.
Chen Fei could easily make this Hass disappear silently from the world without leaving a trace.
"You, don't be too excessive, I represent the Global United Defense Committee."
Faced with the gun muzzle, Hass had nothing left but an aggressive facade, trying to muster some courage not to wet his pants on the spot.
"I don't care who you are, if you provoke me, even sovereignties get beaten."
Chen Fei wasn't just boasting. Recently, the sovereignty of the High Barrier Peninsula was beaten to a pulp by him... or rather, by his "Adam." They ended up sending people to beg for mercy just to avoid total annihilation, leaving only two or three to go back and brag. It was what they called a tactical retreat; though they managed to eliminate most opponents, it was a pyrrhic victory, allowing them to apply for a large military budget afterward to rebuild.
As for the issue of face, to the habitual lying politicians, HeeeeTui!!! Our side can withstand a nuclear strike!
"I give you ten minutes to bring me Miyoshi. If you don't, don't blame me for being rude. Socotra Island is not Habulav; this is my territory!"
Chen Fei didn't mind letting the other party test the "tyrant" title, to see if it's 18K or 28K.
"You, you, you, you just wait!"
The terrified Hass fled frantically and pathetically.
In the eighth minute, a staggering Miyoshi Xuesen stumbled to Chen Fei's side, finally collapsing weakly to the ground.
"Almost, just about, died for sure! Thank you, 'Rookie'!"
Compared to the monk seen earlier, he was now dressed in a tattered robe, with a bruised and swollen face, clearly having suffered greatly.
What if he is an A-level Ability User? In the headquarters of the Global Joint Defense Committee, where Ability Users are abundant, he is nothing much, let alone the fact he doesn't have combat-type Psi Skills. He relies on ninja relatives for support—ambushes, assassinations, gathering intelligence are passable, but he's useless in frontal confrontations. Even the non-offensively skilled S-Class Space Series Ability User Heseman Brown is stronger than the monk.
Crossing the river and then demolishing the bridge, using someone as a scapegoat is common practice. Once Miyoshi Xuesen is replaced, losing his value leaves him with a dead end. It was with this in mind that he racked his brains to escape Habulav and follow Chen Fei, just to stay away from the disputes.
Now that the accumulated grievances in Habulav have exploded, with sovereignty agents fighting among themselves in the city, Miyoshi, who has long kept a respectful distance from the Global Joint Defense Committee, barely escaped being caught up in it.
Luckily, Chen Fei's firm attitude saved him, considering his hard efforts, if not achievements, allowed him to be swapped back. Otherwise, he might already be dead by now.
