Chapter 451 Section 447 - Route Planning
As he reached the door of the vehicle, Chen Fei was about to push it open and leave.
Without warning, a piercing howl erupted in his ears, echoing incessantly inside his head. The metal hoop-shaped Protective Forehead Accessory on his head crackled softly, and shockingly, thin crisscrossing cracks appeared on its surface.
"Fuck!"
He spun around abruptly, only to find that most of the soldiers and officers inside the carriage were aiming their Railgun Combat Rifles right at him.
Chen Fei was utterly puzzled.
"What are you doing?"
"What are you going to do?"
The officer's lips twitched uncontrollably. He couldn't deny his nerves were a bit on edge, but belief in 'better safe than sorry' prevailed.
This mission had indeed been the weirdest one he had ever seen, pushing the limits of his worldview.
Despite having Mr. Ye, the S-rank Psychic Ability User, as their final trump card, they couldn't afford to use him carelessly, not unless absolutely necessary, even if it meant sacrificing lives; Mr. Ye had to be the last resort.
"I'm going to take care of this Deflated Calf!"
Chen Fei turned his gaze and glared fiercely at their target secured inside the cage.
Damn it, howling some crap in his head?
"Ah? You—don't mess around!"
The officer's rifle muzzle couldn't dare to move away.
"Wait and see what I've got up my sleeve!"
Chen Fei walked to the front of the vehicle where the driver's seat was, and when he returned, he had a pair of headphones in his hand.
Approaching the cage, a metal bar, about an inch thick, rapidly expanded to form a large opening big enough to poke half his body through.
The headphones were directly attached to the magical bell, and Chen Fei fiddled with his cell phone.
"Connect Bluetooth!"
A faint sound followed.
"┗|`O′|┛ Ao~~..."
Ghastly screams blared from the headphones—a playlist of twenty brainwashing Divine Songs began to play!
"Huh?"
The officer's gun barrel involuntarily dropped.
Chen Fei then ripped off the Protective Forehead Artifact on his head, which shattered immediately, the fragments scattering all over the ground. He faced the mission target, ready to risk everything, and hissed through gritted teeth, "Come on! Feel my murderous aura, let's see who's crazier."
A lady from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee had once said that his mind was filled with nothing but evil and murderous thoughts. Since their target, proficient in Psychic Ability, loved to control minds, Chen Fei intended to let the enemy taste the flavor of vile thoughts and see who truly was the evilest.
Seeing Chen Fei's Protective Forehead reduced to pieces, the officer could no longer keep his composure and exclaimed anxiously, "Hey, hey, your Protective Forehead!"
"It's of poor quality!"
Chen Fei retorted without looking back.
Seemingly impacted by Psychic Ability, the Protective Forehead lost its protective function. It literally fell apart on his forehead with Chen Fei casually tearing off only the remnants.
The volume of the headphones was turned up to the max, and the magical bell seemed to have a harmonizing amplification effect, making the sound clearly audible throughout the entire carriage.@@@@
"What the hell is this?"
Chen Fei stomped fiercely outside the vehicle, crushing the foolish wolf that had bitten through the tire.
Here in the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, even the Wolf King received no mercy; it was better off dead.
The explosion that had burst the tire had stunned it half to death, and its brain burst on the spot, dying instantly.
After efficiently changing the spare tire and filling it with air, he began to clean up the dead horses nearby; the mountain of horse corpses blocked the mobile base vehicle's path, and if not moved soon, other large animals might come to cause a jam.
In the end, the officer dispatched six soldiers to help Chen Fei clear the path in front of the vehicle.
Chen Fei's strength had reached an impressive level; he could drag a dead horse weighing around 300 kilograms single-handedly and with a forceful exhalation and shout, he flung them to the side, quickly clearing a large space in front of the vehicle. It wouldn't take long to clear the hundred or so horse carcasses piled up in front.
The six soldiers had to work together to drag one horse corpse, each bearing about fifty kilograms of weight.

In the bitter cold, their feet continually slipped, and a careless misstep could send them sprawling in a messy, blood-splattered fall, which was quite unsightly.
But the soldiers had no real complaints, calling out in cadence "one, two, three," following Chen Fei's lead as they cleared out a barely passable road from the multitude of corpses.
As for the mobile base vehicle, splattered with blood as if it had just run over a zombie horde, beyond ensuring the windshield in front of the vehicle was clean and clear, Chen Fei had no way to deal with the rest.
The large size of the vehicle made cleaning it a troublesome matter.
Seeing the six soldiers who had come down to help return to the vehicle exhausted and blood-stained, the frowning officer asked, "Can we shower on the vehicle?"
He had also seen a washing machine and dryer; the vehicle was just too thoughtful, the facilities unexpectedly complete.
"Yes, you can use either of the two bathrooms."
Except for his hands, Chen Fei returned rather clean, washing his hands under the kitchen faucet before heading to the driver's seat.
"Everyone, brace yourselves and buckle up, we need to hurry."
He immediately took over driving the entire mobile base vehicle.
Adam's adaptability was higher than the derivatives of "Cybertrom," but still couldn't match the quick reaction ability of humans.
"My god, there's a bathtub!!!"
A soldier's exclamation echoed from one of the bathrooms inside the vehicle, having never seen such an extravagantly equipped motorhome before.
The vehicle's 4.5-meter width made placing a bathtub inside incredibly easy.
"Adam, activate infrared thermal imaging to differentiate heat sources, we need to avoid those animals!"
Chen Fei gently pressed the accelerator, and the vehicle's speed increased, naturally, the ensuing jolts were inevitable.
After having already been hit by the herd of horses and cows, he had no intention of experiencing it a second time.
The mobile base vehicle's sole two drones were destroyed one after the other by geese and were irreparable for the time being, significantly reducing the scouting radius. To prevent attracting the herds again, the best method was to avoid them beforehand.
Using the harsh climate conditions to his advantage, Chen Fei came up with a relatively reliable method.
The warmth released by animals in a frozen landscape stood out like a bonfire in the dark night, as infrared imaging could easily detect distant heat emissions. Using radar to pinpoint and gauge distances, calculating both parties' directions and speeds, a safe route could be completely mapped out.
No matter how fast the horses ran, the mobile base vehicle could preemptively react and leave any controlled animal far behind.
There was no way to avoid the birds in the sky, but the vehicle's armor was sufficient to disregard them.
The impact of the birds was not as sharp as the fangs of wild wolves and would hardly damage the tires. At worst, it would require spending some energy points to replace all the load-bearing rims with full-metal flexible tires.
Having to detour and accelerate meant he couldn't guarantee a smooth ride. Everyone got quite shaken up since the plain was not a paved road; there were ups and downs, potholes, which were all unavoidable. A careless move might even result in splashing into puddles, making the experience even more thrilling, with hearts nearly jumping out of throats.
