Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 732: Section 727 - Fish Soup
```
The Element Annihilation Bomb sank straight into the dense beehive chamber's bottom-most cylindrical space.
Five minutes had passed.
What seemed to be the living tissue of the "beehive" room's fleshy walls and the isolation membrane of a transparent sticky liquid served as both prison and, from another perspective, a rather effective cover with its protective qualities.
Chen Fei once again covered the entire room with an interlacing alloy steel chamber's framework, spending hundreds of energy points, which was strong enough to bear the additional immense pressure, serving as a double safeguard.
"Chirp!~"
The little bird, already deep in sleep, chirped faintly every minute as if it were a punctual time signal.
The Pure Light Sparrow was too tiny to even be considered worthy of parasitism, and although it was confined in a cage, it was relatively safe from harm.
If the little bird, unable to fire lasers and cast light-based spells, were to be caught by a tentacle monster Chen Fei had encountered before, it would likely face a grim outcome, considering the Pure Light Sparrow's negligible combat ability, which didn't even hurt when pecking at people, only able to peck at small insects—a true harmless creature.
Ten minutes had passed, and Chen Fei was ready to brace for the impact. It wasn't his first time using the "Dragon Slayer Missile" (Element Annihilation Bomb), and he was well-acquainted with the power of such a tactical weapon.
The thin membrane of the "beehive" room might be surrounded by a pool of transparent viscous liquid nearly two kilometers deep, but the transmission efficiency of the shockwaves here was far greater than in air, meaning the destructive power would double. If he wasn't cautious, he could very well capsize in a shallow ditch.
The countdown to detonation had begun.
The grim "strange fish" gathered outside the membrane had not dispersed but still greedily eyed Chen Fei within the "beehive" chamber. The only consolation was that they had not breached the thin layer, flooding in with the transparent sticky liquid.
The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" considerately added a visual timer for Chen Fei, and soon there was less than a minute left, starting the final countdown.
...5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
"..."
After waiting a moment, Chen Fei noticed that the visual timer didn't disappear but flashed a few times, switching from a countdown to counting up.
The Element Annihilation Bomb did not detonate on time.
He was stunned, guessing that maybe a technical malfunction prevented it from exploding normally.
The current situation was incomprehensible to Chen Fei.
Louis Industrial Company, after all, was the stronghold of Blue Star's technological prowess and the only top industry leader capable of producing the "Dragon Slayer Missile." Was the quality control for such specially made products so unreliable?
However, two minutes had passed, and the Element Annihilation Bomb at the bottom of the cylindrical space had no intention to detonate, which was slightly maddening for Chen Fei.
According to his original plan, the furious explosion of the Element Annihilation Bomb would not only flip a pool of viscous liquid but also annihilate those "strange fish" outside the membrane at the same time. After surviving the first blast, he'd let the alloy steel chamber detach from the "beehive" room and float up automatically, eventually escaping this bizarre place.
But now, with nothing happening outside, the subsequent plan couldn't proceed at all.
If Plan A was unfeasible, then it was time for the alternate Plan B.
Actually, there was no specific Plan B, since Chen Fei faced such an environment and adversaries for the first time, without any intelligence, completely clueless. Mr. Louis Landon's "Prophecy" had not mentioned this either.
Yet, the failure of the Element Annihilation Bomb to detonate on time did lead Chen Fei to some speculation.
Not only were electrical devices affected here, but the liveliness of elemental series energies was equally suppressed.
Thus, not only the railgun combat rifle failed to work normally, even spells couldn't be cast, or else how could such a small cage possibly contain Xiao Jiu.
Therefore, it wasn't surprising that the Element Annihilation Bomb, which relied on the Magical Beast Crystal Core and Crystalline Blocks as its core, suddenly misfired.
Yet all the functional modules of Chen Fei's "Dragon Guard" single soldier tactical armor still operated normally, suggesting that this special environment's suppression of elemental series energies and electrical operations was not seamless, still riddled with some loopholes since neither psi skills could be suppressed, nor chemical reactions.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use the psi skill "Basic Laser Emitter" to release a laser beam to cut through the room's membrane, and the hand grenade he had thrown earlier wouldn't have exploded. The simpler the object, the less it was restricted in this space.
Chen Fei began to search through his psi vision interface to see if he could obtain something useful from the Dog System to break the current deadlock. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The "Plane Communication System," which was supposed to establish communication anytime and anywhere, was now cut off from the outside world, just a blind eye, a mere decoration—utterly unreliable.
It's known that the Dog System can't be relied on, indeed, it's "Adam" that is the most dependable.
As such, Chen Fei couldn't call for outside support.
Looking now at the "Skill Shop," which updates every 24 hours, it was completely empty due to the loss of signal from the "Plane Communication System." The rubbish skills that hung there to cheat energy points had all disappeared; there was nothing left in the "Skill Shop."
This thing turned out to be online-based, so where was the main server?
Chen Fei couldn't help but wonder, did he really possess cloud-based psi abilities?
That would be too absurd!
It was found in the "individual information."
```
State: Larval Form
Physical Energy: 745/788
Burst Strength: 300/312
Fullness: 76%
Active time: 95 hours
Energy Points: 30235/45000
Electric Energy Reserve: 1,000,000 kW·h
The "Individual Information" assessment of Chen Fei's physiological state was relatively accurate, as his physical quality was visibly growing at a rapid pace. He was far from the unseasoned Wu Xia Amon who had just entered society, and even without Battle Qi, armed only with the inherited secret techniques of the Neanderthal tribe, he could stand a fight against War Professionals below the Earth Order.
He looked back over the "My Skills" skill list, and due to personal choices, he tended to rely on external objects as the main combat force, a setup that was very suited to the mission configuration of a combat pilot.
In the end, Chen Fei's gaze rested on the almost unused "Speaker Module," which was at level 1, with a note stating: Stereo, upgradable (requires 100 energy points).
He then glanced at the viscous fluid outside the membrane of the "Beehive" room. The fluid was not only an excellent conductor for shock waves but also for sound. The sonar module of the Single Soldier Tactical Armor could be used normally, so why not give those "strange fish" outside a devil's ear-piercing sound surprise?
Because many tactical equipments were unusable, Chen Fei's combat means had been significantly reduced.
He felt somewhat anxious about recklessly charging out.
Taking advantage of his barely ample energy points, Chen Fei upgraded the "Speaker Module," instantly depleting 100 energy points.
"Speaker Module (Level 2)," and the note in the remarks section immediately received new content: Stereo, infrasound, upgradable (requires 1000 energy points).
Infrasound?
Chen Fei slowly shifted his gaze to the membrane of the "Beehive" room, which looked exactly like a resonance film, and moreover, a very large one. He couldn't help but laugh; devil's ear-piercing sound might indeed be possible.
Then he couldn't help but act recklessly once again.
"Speaker Module (Level 3)" | Stereo, infrasound, ultrasonic, not upgradable
Energy Points -1000
Energy Points: 29135/45000
Damn it... Chen Fei's expression immediately fell; it was a classic case of joy turning to sorrow.
What earthly use was ultrasonic here, to wash vegetables with ultrasonic waves?
That was a downright waste of a thousand energy points, tricked away by the damned system.
The membrane of the "Beehive" room was likely composed of some kind of fascial protein, possessing extreme toughness. Even a laser required sustained exposure for over a second to penetrate it smoothly, but now, Chen Fei did not need to destroy this tough membrane. Instead, he installed components like the voice coil and strong magnets right in the center.
A super-large speaker was thus built using the "Beehive" room as the main body, a construction that didn't involve much technical content other than being extremely large.
Chen Fei moved back to a corner and constructed a second speaker in front of him.
"Bang!~"
The entire "Beehive" room shook violently as a 7Hz infrasound frequency was released. The viscous fluid outside also oscillated intensely, and the speaker's thrust was extremely powerful.
The infrasound waves, unobstructed, propagated through the fluid and resonated back and forth within the cylindrical space.
One-third of the "strange fish" outside the membrane were instantly turned into finger-sized chunks of flesh by the direct impact of the secondary wave, which demonstrated its horrific power. The rest lost their balance involuntarily at the same moment.
Chen Fei, who was inside the "Beehive" room's "speaker," remained unscathed; the audio unit in front of him released a secondary wave of opposite waveforms, cancelling out the fatal vibrations rushing at him.
The sweep of the infrasound was indiscriminate in its lethality, and without the second audio unit to cancel out the waves, Chen Fei's actions would have been no different from suicide.
Outside the "Beehive Speaker," a tempest brewed, but the small area around Chen Fei, tucked in a corner, was calm as the forms of the waves cancelled each other out. Everything returned to zero, a haven of silence, free of any disturbance.
"...Bang!~ Bang!~ Bang!~ Bang!~ Bang!~..."
The storm of infrasound within the 4-18Hz range surged back and forth through the cylindrical space, leaving many "strange fish" dead from the vibration. Those lucky enough kept their whole bodies, the less fortunate were reduced to dust and bones on the spot.
The membrane of the "Beehive" room, as part of the large speaker, exhibited the full potential of the resonant film, and the originally transparent viscous fluid took on increasingly turbid colors.
After shaking violently for about half an hour, Chen Fei finally ceased the use of the ruthless divine skill.
The speaker components reverted to energy points, and the "Beehive" room's membrane could no longer maintain its previous toughness; the murky viscous fluid from outside rushed in, shattering the membrane into pieces.
Chen Fei seized the opportunity to rush out and at that moment, not a single "strange fish" could be seen. The entire massive cylindrical space had become a stew, a rich fish soup.
