Sky-cracking Rider

The tall woman cocked her head and looked over for a moment, then said irritably, "Hey! What else could this be if not combat mobility armor?"

She pointed to herself and said, "My name is Li Mei. What's your name? How come I've never heard of someone like you in Havlav City?"

Logically speaking, the entire combat mobility armor corps of Havlav City should be near the city wall to intercept mutants. So why was there still one left in the city area?

The remains of the mutant that had just been swept away by the water were clearly just massacred.

Although there was only one person wrapped in such a colossal suit, the combat power was not to be underestimated.

Chen Fei introduced himself, "Chen Fei, a member of Squad 04 of the 'Bear Hunting Special Operations Division'!"

The constructed parts on the chest of "Dragon King" closed again, engulfing him inside.

Now was really not a good time for chatting.

Whether it was the mutants in the sky or those outside the water walls, they could rush in at any time.

From the way she talked, she seemed like a local from Havlav City and was very familiar with everyone's faces. It was easy to spot a new face.

"A member of the 'Bear Hunting Special Operations Division'? Which military company did you come from?"

The woman was surprised again, obviously aware of some information.

However, she quickly remembered that most of the people from the 'Bear Hunting Special Operations Division' were private military contractors who had been conscripted, that is, civilian ability users.

But just looking at the giant single soldier tactical armor in front of her, which was indistinguishable from combat mobility armor; even if there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers within the ranks of military contractors, this was still far too rule-breaking.

If he claimed to have a military or government background, the woman wouldn't have been the least bit surprised.

"Jiu Defense Company!"

The voice of Chen Fei came from inside the "Dragon King."

Even through the layers of heavy armor, his voice was amplified, restored, and released through the speakers, making it particularly loud.

The four people who came with the woman and Chen Fei were on guard together, watching their surroundings.

"Is everyone inside okay?"

The tall woman looked towards the large hole dug open by the mutants.

It was already large enough for an adult to crawl through. If a little more time had passed, it's possible that these mutants would have tunneled into the transfer corridor, leading to an irreversible tragedy.

Chen Fei wasn't sure about the situation of the adults and children in the shelter. He was about to speak when the shelter's entrance was suddenly opened, and a few people rushed out.

Kids were also crammed inside the entrance, and their cries immediately became a cacophony.

A toddler came tumbling out, crying and running towards the tall woman.

"Mommy..."

"Mingming! Are you okay?"

The woman quickly hugged the toddler, her eyes reddening slightly.

So she was a mother coming to rescue her own child, Chen Fei thought, startled for a moment.

"Minister Li!"

A few adults, while turning back to comfort the crying children, greeted the woman holding the child.

The tall woman, Li Mei, soothed her child with a few words. Her demeanor suddenly changed, an aura of someone in high authority emerged, and she addressed the few adults, "Are there any casualties, especially the children?"

One of the people who ran out of the shelter replied in haste, "No, none. The children were just a bit scared. The transfer corridor collapsed, and we couldn't leave."

Especially with over a hundred children, ensuring their safe evacuation was not an easy task.

Especially since an opening had been made by the mutants in the transfer corridor, and whether it was venom or saliva, something had flowed in, significantly deteriorating air quality. The breach was impossible to approach, and without suitable materials and tools to seal it, they had no choice but to hit the emergency rescue button inside the shelter, hoping someone would come to their rescue.

"Now everyone should move to Shelter 257!"

The tall woman who was Minister Li made a quick decision.

Continuing to linger here could lead to accidents at any moment.

After all, there were so many children that it might be difficult for them to care for with such a small number of people.

"Get ready to board the bus!"

The voice of Chen Fei came from within the giantized "Dragon King," as its exterior underwent earth-shattering changes.

Countless constructed parts kept breaking down and reassembling until it became a massive vehicle that was 20 meters long, a brand-new Mobile Base Vehicle.

"What? This vehicle!"

Li Mei, who had been dumbfounded, finally believed that this was not a humanoid combat mobility armor.

Of course... it couldn't possibly be single soldier tactical armor either.

She was almost certain that none of the Blue Star's private military contractors who produced single soldier tactical armors and combat mobility armors had ever launched a mechanical body capable of switching from humanoid combat mobility armor to a transport vehicle.

Such complex constructed designs were enough to burn out more than one top engineer's brain, not to mention the logistical maintenance which would be a living nightmare!

"Having a vehicle is just wonderful!"

The adults who had been comforting the children in the shelter immediately burst into excitement. They didn't care where the vehicle came from; having one was better than none. They quickly led the children, hand in hand, out of the shelter and orderly boarded the vehicle.

Relying solely on those little short legs of the children to walk over a kilometer to other shelters could easily exhaust their physical energy and was far too slow, making them vulnerable to the mutants that had invaded the urban area.

Now that they had a vehicle, such a distance seemed as close as the palm of the hand, almost instantly reachable.

Chen Fei did not drive the vehicle himself but left it to "Adam."

For the artificial intelligence AI to parallelly operate two Mobile Base Vehicles was not a difficult task; it was just a matter of allocating a few more threads. Possessing near-infinite computational power, what's a few more running threads?

Never mind two, even ten or a hundred vehicles would be easy to manage.

However, this temporarily evolved Mobile Base Vehicle did not come with an onboard chemical battery or crystalline block, so a thick power cable was attached to its lower back, relying entirely on the stored electric power of the "Super Capacitor (Level 50)" to drive the vehicle.

Just as everyone was successfully boarding the vehicle and preparing to climb to the rooftop for the entire trip's protection, a few ability users suddenly looked up at the sky.

"What are those?"

Chen Fei also looked up, as the entire sky was almost filled with red and blue fireballs plummeting toward the city.

The tall woman Li Mei also stood on the rooftop of the vehicle and, after glancing at the sky, her complexion changed dramatically as she urged, "Head to Shelter 257 immediately."

The water streams flowing nearby immediately formed a defensive barrier around the Mobile Base Vehicle. As the defense radius contracted, it was like a water tornado, following the second Mobile Base Vehicle as it moved.

Wherever it passed, mutants retreated in droves, not daring to come close. A slight misstep would get them dragged into the current, spinning like inside a washing machine, eighteen rotations left, eighteen right, then bursting from too much water in their bellies.

"Everyone, hold tight!"

No sooner had Chen Fei's voice fallen than the Mobile Base Vehicle immediately accelerated, heading straight for Shelter 257, a kilometer away.

The adults and children in the car issued an unexpected cry of surprise.@@novelbin@@

Because it was not the original Mobile Base Vehicle, this second, temporarily evolved Mobile Base Vehicle was practically a shell with wheels and motors, even if it did not use the reserved electrical power from the "Super Capacitor (Level 50)." The immediate electric power output of the "Light/Electric/Magnetic/Crystal Energy Universal Converter and Management Component" alone was sufficient to meet the demand.

Several red and blue fireballs, drawing parabolas in the sky and plummeting toward the urban area, grew closer to the ground, and their voluminous silhouettes became more distinct, large enough to rival a van in size.

A radiance swirled through the sky, and the enormous magic array once again appeared above the city. As it took shape, the plummeting red and blue fireballs burst into flames in mid-air.

A deafening explosion nearly drowned out all other sounds.

The large number of mutants flying about in the sky inevitably suffered from the aftermath of the blast, falling like raindrops, with only a few managing to lower their flight altitude in time to escape.

However, a massive amount of red and blue fireballs continued to bombard relentlessly, with the magic array above the city withstanding the intense barrage.

"Good grief, can that magic array hold up?"

Chen Fei watched the attack and defense over the city sky somewhat stunned.

Without the magic array covering the sky, the entire Habulav City would likely be levelled by the countless red and blue fireballs in an instant.

"It won't hold!"

Li Mei, however, slowly shook her head.
