Sky-cracking Rider

"Is there really a glimmer of hope?"

Heseman Brown was delighted, and he quickly looked in the direction where Deputy Mayor Huang Xiulun had departed, but the latter was no longer even a silhouette.

What Chen Fei had just said was not like this, intentionally provoking Huang Xiulun to leave; does he have some special purpose?

"There aren't so many coincidences in this world. If there are, then it must be a calculation!"

Chen Fei repeated the words once spoken by Miyoshi Monk.

This bald thief was dead set on making himself his successor, relentlessly instilling calculations into him in the form of storytelling. Did he really think Chen Fei hadn't noticed?

After all, Chen Fei went to college; his intelligence is evident, so the intent of the bald thief is apparent to everyone.

"What calculations are there?"

Heseman Brown's mind was not quite on the same level as Chen Fei's. He had also heard Miyoshi Xuesen's lessons to Chen Fei, but took them as ordinary stories, in one ear and out the other, never really taking them to heart.

"Buddha says: Unspeakable! Unspeakable!"

Chen Fei wagged his index finger, as a Divine Breed "Sagali" was nearby, watching them all with a tiger's eye. How could he dare speak openly?

Intelligence being one-way transparent is indeed the worst possible situation.

"What are you worried about?"

Heseman Brown was still puzzled.

"Every move we make, every word we say, is under the attention of the Divine Breed. It's observing 'Atlantis'."

Chen Fei had no choice but to spell it out, lest this S-Class Space Ability User keep probing until the end, which would cause more exposure and lead to a more passive situation.

"Huh? Ahhhh!"

Heseman Brown looked around in fright, trying to find traces of the Divine Breed "Sagali"'s interest.

"No need to look, you won't find Him unless you're an S-level Mental Ability User and possess exploration-type Psi Skills."

Chen Fei shook his head, advising against the other's futile vigilance and gaze.

The "Wall of Sighs" task force did have Psychic Power Users, Spellcasters, and Ability Users, but they were not without exploration skills; however, due to low levels, they were no match for parasitic species with innate spiritual power specialties.

As Chen Fei said, unless there's an S-level Mental Ability User, there might be a chance to resist the Divine Breed "Sagali" coveting from the shadows.

"You must have a way, right?"

Finally, Heseman Brown started catching on a bit.

"Yes! 'Adam' will arrange everything."

Chen Fei nodded affirmatively.

The key to breaking the situation was not with him here, even if Divine Breed "Sagali" came to take him down, it would still not thwart Chen Fei's arrangements.

Even the strongest spiritual power, the most magical Psi Skills, could not interfere with the binary digital world. This was Chen Fei's greatest advantage in counter-calculating the Divine Breed named "McKenny."

All the Psychic Power Users in the "Wall of Sighs" task force concentrated through Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" inside the Central Building of "Atlantis," jointly releasing their skills to block the entire building, trying to block all external probing means.

Next, S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown cast the Psi Skill "Isolation," covering an entire floor space, where inside was not empty but secretly assembled over a dozen people, all personally brought in by S-Class Superpower Users, thrown into the space with "Isolation" inside and locked by Psychic Power Users outside.

Even so, Chen Fei still did not feel completely assured, further deploying thousands of fully armed Combat Mechs to securely seal off the Central Building.

Several days of acid rain accumulated large shallow pools in the wilderness, but in less than 12 hours, the accumulated water disappeared without a trace, replaced by mosses and lichens, these small, hardy lower plants, suddenly covering the wilderness in various colors—green, blue, purple, iron gray, beige... colorful, with many tiny flying insects buzzing about, making the Life Forbidden Zone suddenly become vibrant.

At this moment, the protective barrier of "Atlantis" had to open again, as a large number of spores started to spread in the air, floating around, potentially affecting human respiratory systems. The moist lung organs were the perfect incubators for these spores. Imagine, without any protection, the branches of the bronchial tubes and alveoli would soon be filled with parasitic mosses and lichens.

The medical staff soon found a solution; special wavelength ultraviolet rays could effectively kill these tiny but abundant spores, rendering them inactive. Just producing a sufficient number of special ultraviolet lamps could form a protective curtain, blocking these airborne particles from harming humans.

On Blue Star, the earth's atmosphere was also filled with many spores, bacteria, and fungi microorganisms, but after millions of years of evolution, human organs could withstand the invasion of these familiar microorganisms. However, on this unknown planet's unfamiliar environment, facing unidentified alien microorganisms, the immune system would become totally unprepared, easily getting infected, often with fatal consequences.

The sudden life explosion lasted only three days, and the prosperous wilderness quickly withered. All lower animals and plants completed one or even multiple life cycles in such a short time, and the colorful wilderness reverted to a single color: a dry yellow.

In the basin where "Atlantis" is located, if it were not for Water Ability Users continuously drawing fresh water from the surroundings to supplement it, at least a third of the hard-recovered sea water would disappear.

This sea water is a vital survival resource, not only serving as storable fishery resources but also exchanging a certain amount of oxygen from the limited carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

More importantly, salt can be easily extracted from the sea water, whether for culinary use or industrial applications, which is far more convenient than searching for salt mines in the wilderness.

Salt is the mother of the chemical industry; without salt, the chemical industry would almost stagnate, and agriculture and animal husbandry are equally indispensable.

Therefore, it is entirely dependent on the sea-like water in this basin that the "Wall of Sighs" can sustain the production necessary for the survival of civilization.

Overnight, the temperature plummeted.

As the constant star broke over the horizon, casting the first ray of sunlight onto the day zone of this unknown planet, the surface of the recently completed "Skylight" structural framework was covered with a thick layer of frost.

Chunks of frost, too heavy, occasionally fell, disintegrating before reaching the ground, dispersing like snowfall.

The wilderness looked as if it were coated with silver, a silver-white expanse completely replacing the previous day's desolate yellow.

After sunrise, until around noon, the frost gradually vaporized completely, the air humidity rapidly dropping below 35%, a cold wind blowing, turning withered low plants mixed with the desiccated corpses of unknown insects into countless dust particles, drifting with the wind, exposing the gravel surface once more.

Chen Fei stood at the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the "Atlantis" Central Building, reviewing the recent meteorological data predictions, the temperature curve was rapidly descending.

The north and south poles of the unknown planet were brewing a terrifying cold current, preparing to sweep across the equatorial region where "Atlantis" is located. This planet is not Blue Star, its orbital position is farther from the central constant star, the highest recorded temperature to date hasn't exceeded 20 degrees Celsius, with dry humidity and significant daily evaporation, thus once winter arrives, even the equatorial region would experience extreme cold weather.

The streets of the entire "Atlantis" were deserted, not only was there no one, but not even vehicles could be seen, because a few days ago spores or even insect eggs that could harm the respiratory system drifted in from the wilderness, all buildings in "Atlantis" were sealed, the underground district was opened directly, and all human activities were moved underground.

The "Skylight" was not yet completed, so activity space had to be found below the city surface, the construction was relatively simple, quickly transforming enough space.

Although the environmental changes of the unknown planet caused many troubles for the "Wall of Sighs" action team and their dwelling "Atlantis," there are also good news, the newly established Scientific Research Institute finally found a way to mass-produce high-purity silicon carbide "Skylight" translucent panels, and is fully constructing production lines, preparing to quickly fill the gaping holes of the "Skylight."

There were also some advancements in the "Isolation Zone" of the Central Building, coinciding with the mass production of silicon carbide "Skylight" translucent panels.

"'Adam', notify Huang Xiulun, winter is coming, within seven days, I need ten thousand translucent panels, with triple vacuum structure."

A moment later, the voice of Huang Xiulun, the former commander of the "Wall of Sighs" action team, came through the communication system, filled with rage.

"'Rookie', are you trying to drive everyone to death? Triple vacuum-structured translucent panels, my god, we barely found a way to mass-produce single-layer panels, triple-layer, just kill us! This job is impossible to do!"

The vice mayor, driven to despair, was about to throw in the towel on the spot.

"Alright! Then I'll kill you!"

When Chen Fei's voice fell, the robots around Huang Xiulun all stopped their work, those with guns aimed them directly, and those without guns picked up anything, as long as it was fatal to humans.

The atmosphere on site suddenly brimmed with murderous intent, screams and gasps of shock filled the air, as an organized massacre of humans by robots seemed imminent.

There are over 300,000 standard humanoid robots operating in "Atlantis," bearing the main labor force, if they suddenly rise up, it is indeed possible to wipe out the entire 17,000-member "Wall of Sighs" action team in a short time.

"Hey, hey, hey, I was just saying casually, you won't take it seriously, right?"

Realizing Chen Fei was absolutely not joking, Huang Xiulun was almost numb with shock.

"We are all adults, be responsible for what you say, work and live, or die to save resources!"

Chen Fei replied without any emotional color.

If the other party is willing to die, he is willing to kill.

Useless beings who accomplish nothing and ruin everything have no face to survive in this world, this boring king game seems to be just like that.

"But, but we can't mass-produce so many in such a short time!"

Huang Xiulun cried out in misery, this is simply an inhuman task, pushing people to their limits!

"That's your problem, if time is not enough, do three shifts, if three shifts are not enough, then four, in any case, one week, ten thousand panels, triple-layered, it must be delivered."

Chen Fei gently swiped in front of the AR visual assistance interface.

According to the meteorological data predictions a week later, the temperature around "Atlantis" will drop to minus 30 degrees Celsius, and the thick snow clouds sweeping in from the poles will not carry ordinary snowflakes, but dry ice!
