Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 351: Section 347 - Mobile Base Vehicle
"Chirp!"
Little Bird wasn’t idle either, perched on Chen Fei’s shoulder, it released several Light Mirror Spells, projecting multiple angles from the sky onto the entire scrapyard.
Any valuable treasure could be seen at a glance.
"Damn, there are even fighter jets... Xiao Jiu, wait!"
Chen Fei was astonished that the Global United Defense Committee Members dared to discard anything, his gaze suddenly fixed, staring intently at a mountain of garbage.
"This thing, this thing, it must be..."
He discerned the direction and ran into the temporary storage area for waste machinery.
A few minutes later, he found the junk locked from the aerial view, a specially shaped tail constructed part appeared in Chen Fei’s vision. He was about to approach when he heard a buzzing sound rise.
A series of oddly shaped insects crawled out from that pile of junk, fluttering mid-air as if warning Chen Fei that if he dared to take another step forward, they would immediately attack.
Mutants that lived in colonies often followed one of the important biological instincts, territorial awareness.
Each insectoid mutant was a foot long, with red and white alternating segments, three pairs of long wings flapping alternately, capable of stable hovering in the air and extremely fast flight when stirred, brandishing their teeth and claws in a ferocious posture, eyeing Chen Fei ravenously.
"Chirp!"
Little Bird was fearless.
A deadly glow flickered in its slightly opened sharp beak, controlling life and death, unity and division—the laser decided with a word.
A slender laser beam shot out, dazzling with its speed in a chaotic dance. Before Chen Fei could materialize a Railgun Combat Rifle, the flying insectoid mutants in his field of vision were bisected en masse and fell from the sky.
The common weakness of flying species is their fragile bodies. Xiao Jiu’s actions were too quick, the laser’s power too fierce, resulting in a one-sided slaughter. The mutants didn’t even have a chance to flee before they were wiped out on the spot.
"Chirp!"
Xiao Jiu cocked its head, looking at the pile of junk, waiting for new mutants to fly out for slaughter.

But... there was no movement.
It flapped its wings and flew over, found a gap, and dived right in.
The insectoid mutants about a meter long could squeeze through, and naturally, so could the Pure Light Sparrow.
Chen Fei wasn’t too worried about Little Bird’s proactive attack; even if it couldn’t win, it had a Magic Shield for protection and at worst would only be pinned underneath.
Being pinned didn’t matter; a simple Absorption, without the need for excavation, could easily rescue it, and it would even gain some Energy Points—a win-win situation.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"
Inside the small mountain made of various scrap machinery, continuous chirping from Little Bird echoed, red light leaked from all sorts of gaps followed by slowly rising black smoke, as if fire had ignited inside.
However, Chen Fei’s attention was entirely focused on the tail of a particular mechanical body, placing his hand nearby.
Absorption!
System: Ding! Absorbed one excavator...
System: Ding! Absorbed a Porsche sports car...
System: Ding! Absorbed a "SWORDS" combat robot...
System: Ding! Absorbed an East Wind Tactical Ballistic Deflector...
Energy Points +1344!
Energy Points: 12849/20000
These were not the point!
System: Ding! Discovered Crystal Jet "Holy Grail" wreckage, 11345.32 kilograms, absorb: Yes/No|?
No!
Chen Fei took a deep breath of cold air.
There was no mistake!
Even the Dog System could recognize it, it was definitely the genuine article!
"Gravity Adjustment Module (1%)"
The weight of 11 tons, after gravity adjustment, was left at just over 113 kilograms. For Chen Fei, this was nothing; he clutched the tail piece with both hands, yanking it out of the rubbish heap.
Boom!
The small mountain of old machinery shook without warning, nearly causing Chen Fei to lose his balance as the remnants of the Crystal Jet rolled down with him.
There was a clattering sound as a huge mutant slowly squeezed through the mechanical debris, crawling out of the mountain to stagger away into the distance.
This brute looked similar to the earlier insectoid mutants but had even more tentacles and spiked segments, appearing far more ferocious.
Little Bird, enveloped in a Light System Magic Shield, also chased out, its sharp beak firing a powerful laser beam that, upon contact with the mutant’s body, sparked flames and smoke.
To the surprise, this mutant had a strong resistance to the laser beam; despite the searing pain causing it to scream, it wasn’t bisected on the spot like the others had been.
"Chirp!~"
The relentless Xiao Jiu seemed to be furious; the pale green beam flashed, suddenly turning into a bright red glare.
This time, the laser beam’s power more than doubled in magnitude; its wavelength changed too.
The mutant’s escape wasn’t quick; as the red laser beam hit it again, it left deep cuts, shearing off several of its limbs spray with viscous gel. The severed limbs were not left behind but were dragged along by the sticky, flexible body fluids.
The red laser beam moved back and forth, ultimately dismembering the exceptionally resilient mutant into pieces.
The somewhat tired Xiao Jiu returned to Chen Fei’s shoulder and began preening its feathers, probably feeling confident it could take down another big guy like that.
For a Magical Beast of the Human Order Third Rank, possessing such combat prowess was indeed a matter of great pride.
Chen Fei, holding in his arms a piece of a Crystal Jet that was totally disproportionate to his size, returned to the rendezvous point, where three large trucks were already piled up, along with hundreds of rubber wheels, some with rims and some just the rubber rings. Although they were kind of dirty and covered with white alkali powder, their actual condition was far from truly scrapworthy.
After all, it was unlikely that all the tires of a vehicle would go to waste at the same time, but when being replaced, they often got discarded in batches. Therefore, among the piles of used tires and rims in the yard, many could still be used.
Seeing Chen Fei carry over a large item and then gingerly set it down, Mouri Misono asked curiously, "Chen Fei, what are you holding?"
"A Crystal Jet! Its name is ’Holy Grail’!"
Chen Fei wiped the slight sweat from his forehead. It wasn’t from exhaustion but rather from nervousness.
A gasp of astonishment filled the air.
"A Crystal Jet?"
Tree Boundary Ape Lulu An and the fire mage Adrian Benjamin exchanged glances.
Who would have thought that among these old machines, there would be a Crystal Jet hidden. Even if it was broken and incomplete, it was indeed astonishing.
Not to mention something that had been severely bitten a few times, even selling it for money could probably fetch several tens or even millions of Star Yuan!
After all, it was a National Treasure Artifact. There absolutely would be tycoons willing to pay up to show off.
A-grade Metal Ability User Kiterley commented, "This damned place is even more dangerous than I imagined!"
The others quickly caught on.
Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
That was a load of information!
If even the Crystal Jet was damaged like this, a terrible and fierce battle must have occurred. Even the Sky Knights might have met with an unexpected fate.
The degree of danger on the Ocean Continent was really beyond imagination.
"No worries, it’s a big find!"
Chen Fei didn’t care at all. He had been through many dangerous situations—once, twice, thrice—he had long since become indifferent to life and death, so reckless that he didn’t even spare himself.
The "Genuine Fragrance" Combat Flight Squadron of Aircrew Base 911, which member wasn’t tough enough to fight to the death? Constant exposure to such an environment had turned a perfectly good college student belligerent, with even his bones exuding fierceness.
Look at Chekhov Big Bear, the squadron’s standing act. Eating, sleeping, fighting Big Bear, it was all self-inflicted!
Chen Fei interlocked his fingers, twisted them a few times, loosened his muscles, and asked, "Have you guys found any Mutants? Xiao Jiu took out a whole nest!"
Birds are the natural predators of insects, so it was no wonder Xiao Jiu relentlessly pursued and annihilated those insect-like Mutants. If they hadn’t been so large, it might even have swallowed them whole.
"We found a few things like slugs, utterly disgusting!"
The Earth Order First Rank fire mage, Adrian Benjamin with his cropped white hair, showed a look of revulsion.
Those sticky Mutants had already been burnt to a crisp by him, roasted until crunchable.
"I found some fungi that can decompose metal."
The Old Tree Boundary Ape took out several shiny mushrooms with delicate stems from the pockets on his body, some silver and some copper-colored, all undoubtedly metallic in appearance.
It wasn’t just animals that mutated wildly; plants did too.
It’s just that the latter have a much lower tolerance for mutations than the former, and slight genetic flaws would result in quick death, making Mutant plants quite rare.
However, once they have successfully mutated, they invariably cause immense threats and destruction.
Don’t be fooled by a few mushrooms. If their spores were spread across the world, it wouldn’t take long for the entire Blue Star Civilization to be thrown back into the Stone Age.
"Then let’s get started!"
Chen Fei surveyed the three large trucks.
One was an armored bus, its shell torn open by a Mutant, three tires burst, and the chassis somewhat damaged. But that’s okay, because the damage could all be repaired by metal elemental psychic power.
The other two were heavy transport vehicles, their chassis slightly deformed, apparently having carried something too heavy. Moreover, they were somewhat longer than Chen Fei had anticipated, about twenty meters in length.
After walking around, he chose a heavy transport vehicle, placed his hand on the body of the truck, and activated his Special Ability.
The vehicle underwent a monumental transformation. Paint began to flake off, revealing its gray iron material, which then also changed. Minutes later, the Mobile Base Vehicle from the design appeared before everyone, with a slightly stretched appearance but almost no difference from the original.
The originally deformed chassis was not only restored but also reinforced. Chen Fei’s "Alloy Database" contained more than 50,000 alloy ratios. Finding a lighter and stronger alloy solution as a substitute was not difficult, and he directly ignored the cost. If a vehicle manufacturer dared to do this, they would probably go bankrupt.
"Really, truly identical!"
Puppet Master Joshua’s eyes rounded with amazement at how quickly the blueprint had turned into reality.
"Those few wheels won’t do, they need changing!"
Chen Fei casually dismantled the wheels and took somewhat better-looking ones from another heavy transport vehicle, replaced them, forcibly pumped in air, and upon completion, there were five pairs of load-bearing wheels, all electrically driven.
A-grade Metal Ability User Kiterley weighed in, a bit disheartened, "Chen Fei, you’re really more suited to the factory, not the battlefield!"
If it were him, he probably couldn’t manage with such nonchalance.
Not to mention the intricate parts, probably only the vehicle’s designer could manage those details so clearly.
"I don’t want to be an industrial worker!"
Chen Fei folded his arms and refused without a moment’s hesitation.
What’s so good about squatting on a production line every day? It’s definitely much more interesting to mix it up as a military contractor.
