Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 368: Section 364 - Total Annihilation of Both Teams
Trust you, my ass!
Moron’s expression gradually became blank, but now that he was on this stolen vehicle, there was no way for him to get off.
Turning his head to the driver’s seat, Moron said to Chen Fei, "Hey, Chen Fei, do you have any ideas?"
After making a quick estimate, Chen Fei said, "If I had two hundred tons of metal, I could probably deal with that big guy."
System: Ding! Killed BTS-0001 "Tsar Worm", energy points +200!
What?????
The Damn System came back to life, always managing to pull something at the critical moment!
And this shit task felt like a disgusting poke in the asshole.
F*ck, if it weren’t for "Adam" being useless, Chen Fei would have let this AI give the Damn System a good screwing long ago.
Adam’s log strangely added a record that read "Why do I have a terrifying feeling that I’m about to f*ck a dog!"
Almost stepping on Chen Fei’s spoken words, Adrian said annoyed, "But we don’t have it!"
Even the total weight of the supplies in the Space System Alchemy Storage Device he was responsible for managing didn’t amount to two hundred tons, let alone finding that much metal from nowhere.
Besides, if they had two hundred tons of metal, they could just pile it up into an instant fortress; why would they need Chen Fei?
"It’s gone! Now, we need to get out of here at full speed!"
Chen Fei utilized the "Gravity Adjustment Module" skill to further reduce the weight of the Mobile Base Vehicle from 20 tons to 10 tons, pushing the speed to the limit of its stability.
But even with the top speed over the undulating sand dunes, they couldn’t really get much faster.
On the other hand, the BTS-0001 "Tsar Worm" could move in a straight line under the sand, thus holding all the advantage.
After moving at full speed for about an hour, the reconnaissance drones following the Mobile Base Vehicle constantly failed to detect any abnormal bulges in the sand, leading Adrian Benjamin, the Earth Order First Rank fire mage who had been monitoring the drone control screen, to ask, "We haven’t seen any trace of that behemoth moving. Could it be that we’ve shaken it off?"
The Mobile Base Vehicle’s full speed caused a great burden on everyone; many had started to experience dizziness and nausea, the phenomenon of motion sickness.
"I’m afraid it’s not that simple, Adrian. Do you have any geosonic equipment left?"
Yet Chen Fei showed no intention of slowing down.
"No more, all of it was deployed near the volcano crater. What do you want that stuff for!"
As soon as he had spoken, Adrian had a vague guess about the other’s intentions.
"Of course, to listen out for our ’old friend’s’ position; too bad, though."
Chen Fei shook his head with regret. One geosonic device wasn’t enough; at least three were needed for precise positioning.
"Indeed, too... Watch out!"
Adrian was about to continue when he suddenly widened his eyes in alarm, pointing ahead of the vehicle.
Without any warning, the carriage began to shake violently; the light outside suddenly darkened as a huge shadow enveloped the Mobile Base Vehicle.
"What the hell is it now?"
Chen Fei had just turned his head to look outside the front windshield when he saw a massive whirlpool of fangs coming straight at them.
The desert landscape outside the vehicle disappeared in an instant, replaced by darkness.
And then, the endless spinning began…
-
At 1000 meters above ground, the reconnaissance drone lost its data link with the control console, automatically executing its previous command while releasing a distress signal.
"What? Drone unit 04 has lost its control signal? And unit 18 as well?"
Liaison officers Rossi of unit 04 and the officer of unit 18 received the news at the same time; they hurriedly opened the tracking system, only to find that the Mobile Base Vehicle, spanning twenty meters in length, had vanished without a trace, leaving only the reconnaissance drone turning circles in the sky.
"How can this be, how could this happen!"
Rossi pounded the desk with his fist, having thought that the team under his responsibility had returned unscathed and that his role as a liaison officer would be successfully completed.
But who could have anticipated an accident on the way back.
The Blue Star Global United Defense Committee accessed the satellite signal and took control of the reconnaissance drone immediately, directing it to return towards Habulav while also downloading the flight records, quickly uncovering the truth.
A BTS-0001 "Tsar Worm" over twenty meters in diameter had suddenly burst out of a sand dune and swallowed the unprepared Mobile Base Vehicle in a flash before diving back underground, leaving no trace.
The last scenes of the Mobile Base Vehicle traveling through the desert were displayed before each liaison officer, leaving them all speechless and shivering with a chill running down their spines.
They had assumed that the mutant blasted half-dead by the 152 Demolition Bombs was in its mature form, only to realize it was still a juvenile. Right after dealing with the small one, an even larger one had emerged; the glimpse of its diameter and body length alone was enough to send shivers down their spines.
With the Mobile Base Vehicle swallowed in a single gulp, the odds were grim for the teams aboard units 04 and 18.
The Bear Hunting Special Operations Division, overseeing the various teams, didn’t hesitate to request small Airships and Crystal Jets from the Global United Defense Committee to retrieve all returning teams in the Central Great Desert.
Fearing that the colossal creature would target the returning teams, one by one, even the Bear Hunting Special Operations Division, with its many teams, might not be enough for it to consume.

"Chirp! Chirp!"
Hours later, awakening to the gentle pecking on his face, Chen Fei opened his eyes to see the anxious Little Bird hopping and pecking away at his face.
Inside the carriage, the tumbling and shaking had stopped, and finally, it was quiet.
"Xiao Jiu!"
Chen Fei revealed a smile as a warm glow of light entered his chest, soothing his body as if soaking in a hot spring, with the soreness and fatigue receding away like a swift tide.
He reached out to catch the Little Bird and turned his gaze towards the interior of the vehicle, where the flexible metal wires that had entwined everyone melted away, merging into the carriage’s deck, ceiling, and sidewalls, vanishing without a trace.
Fortunately, before losing consciousness, he had used his "Metal Shaping|Replication|Material Simulation" skill to create a large number of flexible metal wires as a protective buffer, wrapping around everyone and the Blue Scaled Colt to prevent injuries or even death from tumbling inside the carriage.
Xiao Jiu hadn’t been wrapped up, being far too agile to be caught and enveloped by the flexible metal wires.
Now, it seemed the little guy didn’t have a scratch on him.
"Chirp chirp..."
At the rear of the carriage, the Blue Scaled Colt, once freed, began to cry out louder, forcefully stamping the deck with its hooves.
"Good heavens, are we still alive?"
The Holy Knight Walter Sam’s body emanated a Light Flame as he looked around.
The outer windows were covered in spiderweb-like cracks, indicating that the bulletproof glass designed to withstand light firearms had suffered a considerable impact with no sign of damage to the inner "glass," which was actually a highly durable metal material. Even if there had been any cracks, they would have healed quickly under the control of the Metal Elemental Psychic Power.
Outside was pitch black, not a sliver of light in sight, leaving them clueless as to their location.
The lights inside the carriage all turned on, making it as bright as day.
Apart from some luggage and miscellaneous items strewn about, the entire Mobile Base Vehicle seemed to be mostly unharmed.
"Damn, are we still alive?"
Adrian, regaining consciousness and still dizzy, lay on the ground unable to stand, feeling as if his insides had been completely turned around.
"Is the outside hell?"
Mouri Misono uttered this, and upon locking eyes with Susanna, both involuntarily shuddered with goosebumps.
"Don’t talk nonsense!~"
Susanna’s teeth chattered with fear.
"This is terrible, just now, no, before... were we swallowed? What exactly was that thing?"
Even though Chen Fei’s flexible steel wire had been produced in time, Team 18’s captain, Moron, still had a large bump on his forehead which had not yet subsided, looking like he was wearing a meat bun and giving his face a slightly deformed appearance.
"A big Tsar Worm, with its young ones coming for revenge. Damn huge!"
No one else was faring much better, uncertain of how long they had been unconscious.
"Six hours!"
The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" provided the answer.

Chen Fei had kept it on, so it remained in an awakened state, enabling it to keep track of time.
"’Adam,’ where are we?"
Chen Fei stood up from the driver’s seat, and the power cables automatically detached, switching to battery power mode.
The vehicle’s external lights also turned on, and additional illumination lamps were created, brightly lighting up the surrounding area.
A huge dome, Roman columns, a high platform, steps, an oval ground, tattered flags, and corners filled with a pile of miscellaneous items – bones of all kinds and even some distinctly artificial artifacts were visible.
The massive Tsar Worm that had swallowed the Mobile Base Vehicle had disappeared without a trace, but the vehicle’s surface was covered with an unknown sticky substance, obscuring the desert camouflage and revealing the underlying armor.
"The composition of the gas outside the vehicle is normal, though there’s a bit too much methane. Hmm, open the door."
Chen Fei reviewed "Adam’s" diagnostic report.
After all, the life support system inside the Mobile Base Vehicle was nearly at its limit, and without ventilation, the people inside would soon face the danger of oxygen deficiency.
With a soft click, the door opened widely, and the outside air instantly flooded into the carriage.
Everyone took a deep breath and, in unison, made a collective expression of disgust.
"Ugh, how foul!"
"It stinks to death, what’s that smell?"
"It’s so foul! I can hardly breathe!"
"It’s more than methane, there’s hydrogen sulfide too, it’s so stinky it’s giving me a headache!"
"Quick, close the door."
"Is this a latrine?"
"I want my air filtration mask!"
Everyone was subjected to the malodorous assault, a fall from grace or a loss of human decency... Chen Fei too, was momentarily thoughtless.
"Bang!"
The door automatically closed again, and the air filtration system began working at full capacity.
Even so, the incoming air still carried a faint whiff of the stench until the two captains pulled out air filtration masks from their Space System Alchemy Storage Devices, and everyone donned a "Big Pig Snout." Even the Green Scale Colt Mini had its share, and the situation improved considerably.
Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu seemed to have realized a new skill in that moment, surrounded by a faint white light, automatically purifying the foul air as it approached.
"Just now... who went outside? I thought I saw a figure fleeting by the door!"
