Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 466 Section 462 - Support

```

The days ahead are long, and even if Xiao Jiu is willing to drink these potions, with its small body, it's not possible to finish them all in one sitting, or even in one day. Otherwise, before they take effect, I'm afraid it might get diarrhea first.

"There's one last task."

After officially handing over the magic potions, Major Li passed over a tablet computer.

What he personally brought was not just the small box that had already reached Chen Fei's hands but also a task.

Except for the artificial intelligence AI "Adam," which could use the Dog System's "Plane Communication System" skill to log onto the public network through some mysterious and unscientific unknown network connection, all of Chen Fei's civilian communication devices were basically restricted. If the outside world wanted to contact him, they had to go through several layers and finally relay through the Hanhai Central Base.

It was really just the amount of information that could be conveyed in a phone call, and it wouldn't have to be so troublesome under normal circumstances, seeing as he was in a confidential area.

Although he could use the network of the Dog System, Chen Fei did not want to let the AI "Adam" manage his important personal information before he had fully tamed it, especially concerning personal communications, data storage, and bank accounts, lest he let the wolf into the house.

"Adam" was not as easy to bully as "Ah Mao." Chen Fei might often order "Adam" around and found it quite handy to use, but he always kept an extra eye out.

After verification by fingerprint recognition, Chen Fei saw the task that had been sent to him.

The main part of the task had come from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, instructing Chen to meet up with Squad 04 and prepare for a coordinated action. It seemed that the members who stayed behind in the Tunguska Region for undercover investigation have made significant progress, otherwise, they wouldn't be thinking of taking action.

The content of the task was one aspect, but the route for the rendezvous was set by local assistance, which also squeezed in quite a few small tasks along the way.

Squeezing in...

Others would be smuggling in personal goods, but here, official business was being inserted.

Not only did it require Chen Fei's Mobile Base Vehicle, but also the use of Xiao Jiu's Space System Alchemy Storage Device.

Could he refuse?

Clearly not!

Then there was nothing more to say.@@@@

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

The tasks being inserted were neither big jobs nor particularly difficult tasks to carry out smoothly. Basically, they were all trivial matters that didn't warrant sending people specifically for them, as it would be a waste of manpower, time, and resources.

It just so happened that Chen Fei was passing by and could complete them easily. He was a local citizen, honest, and tight-lipped, so they felt assured using him.

So these thankless tasks had found the right person.

-

Early the next day, Chen Fei, with Xiao Jiu in tow, drove the fully loaded Mobile Base Vehicle out of the town from another direction, heading north. This route was completely different from the one he came by, and the time needed to return to the Tunguska Region was even shorter.

In addition to meeting up with Squad 04, there were more than thirty other miscellaneous small tasks, such as transporting supplies, building facilities, maintaining equipment and materials, and eliminating harmful creatures. Chen used his Metallic Elemental Ability, Xiao Jiu's Light-based Spells, and the carrying capacity of the Mobile Base Vehicle to their fullest extent, with all the tasks well within their capabilities.

Precise exploitation, no, division of labor, those five Elemental Affinity Enhancement Potions indeed had not come easy.

According to the schedule, when crossing the sovereignty border line, Chen scarcely managed to coax Xiao Jiu into drinking two Universal Elemental Affinity Enhancement Potions, and then mixing them with alcohol and juice stopped working.

From the abnormal noise he had heard during his last conversation with Adrian and the subsequent loss of contact, Chen Fei pieced together some clues.

The reason he called Mouri Misono first was that she was still the Deputy Director of Ground Operations for the Fuji Security Group stationed on the Africa Continent. She wasn't just good at knife fights; she should have the experience to deal with emergencies.

After all, the 'uncles' in Africa were notoriously tough, and they became even more unrestrained after gaining abilities. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility—that definitely wasn't the case. It should be: the greater the mischief, the correct term, as the 'uncles' could wreak far more havoc than mutants.

"What?"

On the other end of the call, Mouri Misono exclaimed in disbelief.

"I was just talking to Adrian when I heard a loud bang, and then the call dropped, and I lost contact with both Adrian and Lulu'an."

Chen Fei succinctly outlined the situation.

"Got it, I will contact the others, and you be careful as well. Keep in touch."

Mouri Misono immediately regained her composure, took leave from her company's management center after ending the call with Chen Fei, and hurried away from her work site while reaching out to others.

Team 04 had dispersed from a visible team to a hidden one, deeply embedded within society, but this had also left them vulnerable to being easily defeated individually.

However, this possibility was not high; typical small forces might not be able to take down the members of Team 04 individually.

Mouri Misono attempted to call Adrian and Lulu'an, but as Chen Fei had described, she could not get through.

She immediately dialed the number of Susanna Jean Piault, a Rank B Ice Ability User.

"Susanna, there's something I need you for— What? You got into the civil service? Wait, now's not the time to talk about that. Something's happened to Adrian and Lulu'an."

Then she made calls to Apu and Bassan, two strong men working as thieves—or rather, foremen—at the largest wholesale market in Yarsk City, to start pulling people together.

The two had gathered a group of laborers and naturally became leaders. Their small gang had some reputation in the wholesale market, easily rallying forty to fifty brawny men who treated fighting as routinely as eating and drinking.

Lastly, there was the Holy Knight who had taken up traffic coordination, who had been moving in and out of sight for the last few days with Kiterley, a Rank A Metal Ability User, the Puppet Master Joshua, and the Earth Mage Ruan Tiankai. The four of them had been elusive, possibly connected with the sudden loss of contact with Adrian and Lulu'an, who had been guarding the second stronghold.

"Mouri? Something up?"

A deliberately lowered voice emerged from the speakerphone, as Knight Walter Sam seemed to be speaking cautiously.

Guessing that the other party might be in a situation where it was difficult to talk, Mouri Misono spoke in a quiet tone, "Adrian and Lulu'an have lost contact; it just happened during a call with Chen Fei."

"Understood, I'm working on it!"

Walter Sam was clearly already aware of the situation and was dealing with it. He had temporarily taken the call from Mouri Misono.

Mouri tentatively asked, "I've alerted Apu and Bassan, and they're calling people together. Do you need support there?"

"Calling people? Yes, that's good, the more the better. Have them come to..."

The Holy Knight provided an address, indicating that he indeed was seriously short-handed and in need of reinforcements.

"We're on our way!"

Mouri Misono prepared to join Susanna in providing backup to Knight Sam.

The rallying Team 04 was undoubtedly a formidable force not to be underestimated.
