Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 656: Section 651 - Restoring Communication

"Understood, I'll assign you a task immediately!"

Chen Fei immediately contacted the "Intelligence Team," finding a glorious mission for these Dead Soldiers who had ingested an incurable poison and whose lives were ticking away, so they could meet a heroic end.

Had it not been for that call from the "Suicide Squad," he would have nearly completed all the tasks himself.

Drones kept ascending for communication, and Chen Fei soon got in touch with the "Intelligence Team."

"I need the location of the rebel headquarters and ammunition depot. Also, help me find a man, his real name is Xia Ji, a key member of the 'Water Bear' organization, who arrived in Nandu City the day before yesterday and then disappeared. I will send you the related materials. Once the location of Xia Ji is confirmed, I will transfer your command authority to the highest Defense Commander of the Dimensional Gate Management Substation."

While accepting the new assignment, he hadn't forgotten the task that was still incomplete.

The intelligence team formed by the big shot Louis Landon comprised many experts, which could serve both public and private interests. After all, herding one sheep was as good as herding two.

"We have confirmed the location of the rebel headquarters and ammunition depot. The ammunition depot uses a Space System Alchemy Storage Device and only has an ammunition gathering point. Information is being transferred to you immediately. As for the criminal 'Xia Ji,' we have obtained his information and estimate that it will take 24 hours to get a preliminary report."

The "Intelligence Team" was indeed exceptional, providing immediate feedback and correcting a mistake in Chen Fei's understanding. They also swiftly confirmed the information about "Xia Ji," displaying their competence in pursuing the target despite just taking over the task.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Such professionalism was deserving of the money likely spent by the big shot. You get what you pay for, and the services were reliable and comprehensive, with preparations already made before Chen Fei's instructions had even arrived.

"No problem, 'Rookie.' You'd better take it easy, you could die!"

The experts in the "Intelligence Team" were clearly aware of the identity of the new commander issuing orders, as well as his actions on the battlefield. They must have sweated over his safety inwardly.

"I'm aware of it!"

Chen Fei, now just recovering from serious injuries and greatly weakened, was naturally incapable of doing anything.

To be involved in a battle of this scale, whether reckless or not, just surviving was a cause for boundless gratitude.

"'Strong Men Team,' have you moved from your position?"

Chen Fei then contacted the High Rank Ability User Team, who could play a key role but was unreliable at critical moments.

"No movement. Maintaining readiness. We are not suited for the battlefield. Please give precise instructions."

The other party confirmed their state and expressed their concerns and indirect refusal.

It turned out the reminders from big shot Louis Landon were accurate; these High Rank Ability Users were only good for fair-weather fights, and unreliable in crunch time, a bunch of undependable people.

Luckily, there was the "Suicide Squad." Although their individual combat strength might not match that of the "Strong Men Team," their morale and the determined will to fight to the death was beyond question. This was the trump card the big shot relied on in critical moments.

"Beep!"

The "Intelligence Team" had sent over enemy deployment near the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, with Chen Fei's drones in the sky indirectly aiding them. Even the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" had its control and data packets covertly intercepted by these experts.

The sky at this moment was swarming with drones from both sides, densely populating every altitude, engaging each other in combat frequently, with a relentless drain on resources.

Fortunately, whether on one side or the other, there was a sufficient reserve of drones, replacing one with two as needed, and the density was so high that even the rebels' "Sky Falcon" dared not approach carelessly.

Chen Fei immediately forwarded this freshly acquired intelligence to the battle data linkage system of the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, sharing it in real time with all heavy firepower points.

However, the Defense Commander of the Dimensional Gate Management Substation used his authority to block the automatic firing command.

The Colonel came over to Chen Fei, seeing this young man still restless even while lying on the stretcher, and spoke, "Your combat mission is over. Your current task is to heal in peace. Also, what's with that intelligence? Did Jiu Defense Company know about the rebellion on Zilu Continent in advance, and even made arrangements beforehand?"

The intelligence fed into the battle data link surprised the Defense Commander. The rebels were not just an untrained mob but the standing army of the Silan Dynasty, and one would not expect their entire dispositions to be laid bare so easily.

Therefore, the only explanation would be pre-arranged plans, and powerful intelligence capabilities, enough to infiltrate a standing army.

But for a small military contractor like Jiu Defense Company, pre-emptively planning against a rebellion on a continent of Cangqiong Star seemed rather ludicrous, to say nothing of relevancy; even if willing, they lacked the capability.

"Jiu Defense Company? Of course not!"

Chen Fei promptly denied it, now was not the time for rosy embellishments for the company.

With the small frame of Jiu Defense, undertaking missions beyond their capacity was not feasible. It was better to handle their core business sincerely.

"Oh? Is there someone else?"

The Defense Commander, Colonel Sir, was taken aback. He hadn't uncovered any forces behind Chen Fei other than Jiu Defense, nor did he expect the existence of other powers intervening in the unrest on Zilu Continent.

Chen Fei spoke truthfully, "An intelligence team personally organized by Mr. Louis Landon, President of Louis Industrial Company."

There was no point in hiding anything. If he remained secretive now, he would find it hard to successfully hand over the "Intelligence Team." To maximize the team's potential, unified command was best, and trust was mandatory.

"Louis Industries, huh? No wonder!"

The Defense Commander, Colonel Sir, nodded in realization. That made sense; such feats didn't seem like the work of a small military contractor.

Blue Star's top high-tech conglomerate perceiving the crisis on Zilu Continent and making prior arrangements, even bypassing both the Dimensional Gate Management authorities and Blue Star's related departments, was not at all surprising. After all, Louis Industrial Company had the power to do so.

Then he continued, "I need to share the intelligence of this team."

The situation at the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation in the suburbs of Nandu City could be described as being surrounded by wolves. The portal was established here, protected by permanent fortifications meticulously, but precisely because of this, it was neither transferable nor easy to attack, making passive defense quite strenuous.

Having sufficient intelligence support might make the situation relatively better.

"No problem, I will transfer this 'Intelligence Team' to you later."

The original intention of establishing the "Intelligence Team" was completely in line with the goal of the Defense Commander, so Chen Fei naturally could make this decision on behalf of the organizer of this team, Louis Landon.

Perhaps before this, Mr. Landon didn't know how to justify the acceptance of this intelligence team's information support by the Dimensional Gate Management Substation. Now, as both parties hit it off, the agreement was perfect and mutually willing.

"Hmm, you take good care of yourself and don't do anything unnecessary!"

The Defense Commander, Colonel Sir, nodded and then left.

With the Dimensional Gate Management Substation in a state of war and many matters needing attention, he could only spare a moment to check on this military contractor's employee.

"Teacher Shen! How are things on your end?"

Chen Fei finally got through to Shen Fei's call.

"Eh? Has the communication been restored?"

Shen Fei's voice came through. Not long after Chen Fei had left, the people in the high-end business hotel had been cut off from outside contact again.

The hotel was clearly more than 5 kilometers away from the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, and so Chen Fei's "signal source" naturally could not cover it.

"Temporarily restored, I've built a communication relay network with a drone swarm, transmitting the signal over here."

Chen Fei explained the reason for the restored communication.

Above the high-end business hotel hovered a drone, converting the received laser signals into electromagnetic signals that mobile phones and other end devices could respond to.

Shen Fei said happily, "That's great! There hasn't been another large-scale attack like before on my end, just some sporadic small disturbances, which we can handle. 'Mute' Kano joined us with over three hundred people, all elites from the 'Hundred-Legs Gang.' Mr. Randon's bodyguards are integrating them, and I estimate they'll soon be ready to be of use. How about you? There seemed to be quite a commotion on your end this morning."

The restoration of communication, even if temporary, was still good news for those trapped in the hotel.

The loud noise and ground vibration caused by the crash of the main force Lightwing Ship were clearly audible throughout most of Nandu City, and Teacher Shen, who had speculated about the intensity of the battle, was quite concerned for Chen Fei's safety.

"Don't worry, I'm still alive, hmm, with all my limbs intact, in good shape, still a hero, no need to wait another eighteen years."

Chen Fei barely looked at his own body, moved his hands and feet a bit; there were no external injuries, only internal ones, but it was all right now.

"Hey, Little Chen, what's the situation with that Combat Mobility Armor?"

The voice of Mr. Louis Landon interjected.

Hearing Chen Fei's vague explanation, he decided to probe indirectly. If the Mechanical Dragon was done for, the pilot probably wouldn't fare much better.

Chen Fei glanced at the Mechanical Dragon not far away and said, "Uh, its wings have shrunk quite a bit, but for the most part, it's still intact."

"Don't push yourself too hard!"

Louis Landon, away from the battlefield, breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't even an ability user now, so he couldn't be of much help.

He had handed over the task of assisting in the defense of the Nandu City Dimensional Gate Management Substation to a B-level Metal Ability User. Anyone would know that this task would be extremely challenging, and the slightest carelessness could result in the loss of life.

But Louis Landon had no other choice; he could not directly interfere with the Dimensional Gate Management departments.

Too much of anything is bad; sometimes, doing too much only makes things worse or even backfires, possibly being seen as having ulterior motives. He had no choice but to form three small teams to provide timely support. It was nearly impossible to openly dispatch large numbers of combat personnel into Nandu City on the Zilu Continent under the noses of the Slan Dynasty, no matter the rationale, as the consequences would backfire on him.

His bodyguards were all strong and had no issues fighting alone or executing defense missions, but no one could match Chen Fei, who could control the X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor with his Metal Elemental Psychic Power, making this young military contractor employee almost the perfect candidate.

"No way, everyone is fighting hard!"

Chen Fei was referring not only to himself and the defensive soldiers at the Dimensional Gate Management Substation but also to the Rebel Army.

Just then, inside the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, the sound of dense sirens echoed, and almost all the large-caliber railguns fired simultaneously, sending heavy shells flying toward the distance.

Because they used a parabolic trajectory, the initial velocity of the projectiles wasn't that great, and it took half a minute before they began to land.

The Rebel Army's command and ammunition distribution points were struck almost at the same time.

"Whoa, the fight's begun, the fight's begun. The Dimensional Gate Management Substation is bombarding the Rebel Army's frontline command post and ammunition distribution point. Teacher Shen, Mr. Randon, let's stop here, I need to get busy again."

Chen Fei hastily ended the call and then called for the artificial intelligence AI.

"'Adam', move the Mechanical Dragon over here, get ready to evolve into the giant cannon mode."

He was prepared to take "Adam's" suggestion.

After all, he had already paid a price, and crashing into the Light Wing Ship body was simply too foolish. Having calmed down, the more rational Chen Fei learned from his mistakes and chose the most optimal solution.
