Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 371 Section 367 - Survival

"Phew..."

Everyone turned their attention to him, and Chen Fei let out a sigh, saying, "You're right, Kiterley!"

The Dog System was indeed best suited for Kiterley after all.

In the end, the system had been misspent.

Dog System: ...

The two teams exerted their full effort and soon found the vent leading out of the Supreme Council Hall, which was perfect for the Mobile Base Vehicle to exit.

Even if the opening wasn't large enough, it was no trouble to have the Earth Element User enlarge the diameter, or to reduce the size of the Mobile Base Vehicle itself.

The most important thing was to safely return to the surface.

Half an hour later, the group re-boarded the Mobile Base Vehicle, turned on the headlights full blast, and dove into the designated tunnel.

The 10 cm cubic Crystalline Block they had acquired was immediately used on the Mobile Base Vehicle. Although the storage capacity wasn't fully charged, its endurance significantly increased; there was no fear of running out of power. It was perfect because, just then, the Mutants had caught up, and it would have been awkward otherwise.

"We've finally gotten away, hey, aren't you done washing yet?"

Holy Knight Walter Sam banged on the bathroom door, as everyone was waiting in line to shower.

Even the Green Scale Colt Mini detested his stench so much, it refused to let him come close, which was really infuriating.

"What's the rush, I'm washing my hair right now!"

The person in the bathroom responded with an exasperated roar.

Even just standing still in the Hall of the Supreme Council, one would get suffused with the malodorous air, akin to stinky tofu that only needed three minutes to acquire its full taste.

For both teams, two bathrooms were simply not enough, especially for the female members, who couldn't face others until they had thoroughly washed for over an hour.

The air filtration system inside the carriage was operating at full capacity, yet it was barely effective. Some people had been in contact with the filth and now smelled horrific.

"Damn, it was like soaking in shit before, hmm, how exactly did our Mobile Base Vehicle make it out? Could it be..."

"Shut up!!!" ×20!

Apu, ever the blunt boy, had barely started speaking the stark truth when everyone interrupted him in unison.

This killed the conversation, didn't this guy know how to stay quiet?!!

Apart from him, everyone else in the carriage, both those waiting for and finished with their showers, simultaneously turned pale. They couldn't bear to think about it!@@@@

Team 18's captain, Captain Moron, frowned and said, "Your guy really knows how to talk, huh!"

Due to the accumulated putrid smells, even the respirators were failing now.

"Haha!"

Adrian had a massive headache and could only muster a strained smile.

Apu, the big dark fellow, often caused him distress unintentionally, which made it even more aggravating because it couldn't be corrected! Nobody knew when he might make an untimely comment, leaving everyone unable to defend against it.

But fortunately, everyone had survived.

So, no anger, no anger!

"Has 'Adam' not reached the surface yet?"

Chen Fei asked again.

He was the first to shower, and upon returning to the driver's seat, he immediately isolated himself from the terrible odors in the carriage with a transparent partition.

"Hey! Chen Fei, you must give this car a good wash, it must be thoroughly cleaned, you know?"

"I know, I know! I'll wash it myself, the tap at full power!"

"I'll use Water-type Spell to help you wash the car."

"This trip has been horrible!"

"Being alive is good enough, what's there to complain about!"

"Hey! Girl, you've been soaking for over an hour, hurry up and get out!!!"

"I don't want to!"

"No, you have to! If you don't come out now, I'm going to rush in! I'll fumigate you, you know?"

"Ah! No, I... I'll be done soon!"

...

The cabin of the Mobile Base Vehicle was in total chaos.

Adam: "Abnormal biological response detected from behind, likely BTS-0001 'Tsar Worm'."

"It's that same guy!"

The unimaginative "Adam" could only detect the mutant BTS-0001 "Tsar Worm," unable to identify exactly which one it was.

Chen Fei, however, could use his imagination and reasoning to guess who might be pursuing them from behind.

It was probably the same Tsar Worm that had once taken a hit from a 152mm shell, half of its body shattered, yet this mutant's vitality was frightening, able to escape even with half a body left, resuscitating and continuing the pursuit vigorously.

Speaking of which, this ability to hold a grudge among the mutants was truly something Chen Fei had never seen before.

"'Adam', get the 152 ready!"

Chen Fei didn't hesitate to have "Adam" load the Railgun on the roof and then advanced the throttle, further increasing the vehicle's speed.

The moment Adrian sensed the change in vehicle speed and the noise from the rooftop Railgun, he asked, "Hey! Chen Fei, what's happening?"

Without turning his head back, Chen Fei responded, "Our old friend has caught up with us again!"

At this moment, rather than leaving the Mobile Base Vehicle under the automated control of "Adam," he trusted his own driving skills more.

Apart from jet aircraft which routinely reach speeds over a thousand kilometers per hour, even a turboprop aircraft can reach speeds of four to five hundred kilometers per hour. The Mobile Base Vehicle's speed, not even reaching a hundred kilometers per hour, was hardly a challenge for Chen Fei; he even had spare time to inquire "Adam" how far the pursuing mutant was from the Mobile Base Vehicle.

"Huh?" Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Was it that persistent old friend again? First Rank fire mage Adrian Benjamin mechanically turned his head, staring dumbfounded at Captain Moron of Team 18 as they looked at each other.

Were they to be swallowed alive again?

Adam: "Distance 2.7 kilometers, speed about 61 kilometers per hour."

The current speed of the Mobile Base Vehicle was 70 kilometers per hour, which meant that the distance between them would only increase. The passage was not an undulating sand dune, but a straight "runway (passage)," thus, unless there was an unexpected event, the likelihood of being caught up was almost negligible.

"'Adam', let's send a few rounds to that old friend outside the exit, as a gesture of goodwill."

Chen Fei genuinely smiled.

The next second, the Mobile Base Vehicle burst through a layer of thin sand, and bright sunlight pierced through the one-way transparent windows, flooding the cabin with light.

The Railgun quickly rotated its barrel, aiming at the back where sand flowed like a waterfall, exactly where the Mobile Base Vehicle had burst out from.
