Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 482 Section 478 - Emergency Assistance

"Adam" had consecutively announced seven or eight pieces of intelligence about the mutant groups, which were all located close to Blue Team four's position. They wouldn't be able to rush over anytime soon, allowing Adrian and his colleagues to breathe a sigh of relief.

Moreover, other teams of ability users nearby would do their utmost to block them, thus striving to ease the pressure on everyone else, under the principle of mutual aid.

At this very moment, massive numbers of mutants were pouring into the Hablav District, darting about chaotically like headless flies. No one knew from which direction the airborne and terrestrial mutants would charge. To consider holding back or slacking off at such a critical juncture was folly, which would only serve to turn even the greatest advantages into devastating defeats, eventually dragging everyone down together, collectively facing failure.

The three-dimensional holographic projection emitted from the mobile base vehicle showed that countless mutants had completely surrounded Hablav City. The city's defense system was operating at 120% firepower, turning the outskirts into a blazing inferno. Yet, more mutants continuously surged forward in relentless waves.

A gigantic magic array reappeared above Hablav City. Not dropping intense beams of light this time, it burst forth with countless meteor showers, slashing across the sky and falling towards the outskirts in all directions.

Each fireball displayed a peculiar blue-white color and trailed intense electrical arcs, with thousands of such fireballs in existence.

The intensity of the attack burst forth by the magic momentarily surpassed that of modern firearms.

The booming explosions merged into a continuous roar, with sparks and flames ascending into mid-air and engulfing countless mutants.

Even from within the city, one could clearly feel such violent, concentrated impacts, causing the ground to shake like a minor earthquake, the trembling persisting for a long time.

The magic array hovering over the city flickered once, having seemingly exhausted the last bit of magical elemental energy, and then it faded away.

A ghostly howling erupted; with no warning, fierce winds swept through the district. The tumultuous gusts tossed the flying-type mutants in the air, and the intense airflow seemed to be filled with sharp blades of wind, which swept through and continuously dismembered the mutants in mid-air, with chunks of bodies and fluids raining down explosively onto the ground.

"That must have been a forbidden curse; now, there must be someone of S rank or Heavenly Order intervening,"

Adrian looked up towards the continuously changing sky.

The Heavenly Order can manipulate rules, and the S rank can even trigger natural phenomena. Whether it's the former or the latter, one individual can hold a city, and that is no exaggeration.

Moreover, rumors had it that the headquarters of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee in Hablav City hosted not just one top ability user, but also had Sovereignty rotation duty.

The mutants, previously zigzagging within the district like headless flies, grew even more frantic, causing considerable damage to city infrastructure.

"Sector B, Shelter 256 is urgently requesting assistance—119 children and 25 adults inside! Sector B, Shelter 256 urgently requests help..."

Suddenly, a process of striking text was projected by the three-dimensional holographic projection above the mobile base vehicle.

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" also marked the locations of Blue Team four and Sector B, Shelter 256 on the 2D map—merely less than 2 kilometers apart, virtually next door.

The sudden call for assistance likely covered all ability users within a certain range of the shelter.

"Sector B, Shelter 256... hey, that's nearby!"@@@@

Mouri Misono shook her dual blades, flinging off a pungent-smelling, viscous fluid from the blades.

The mutants she had slain were mostly insect-type, with a hard outer shell filled inside with flesh and viscous fluid, and their bodily fluids were often not red but multi-colored. Though not bloody, the smell was quite foul.

"So many children!"

he might be able to transform into anything he saw, right?

If he saw a Crystal Jet, if he saw a Magic Cube Warship, if he saw the "Cybertrom" digital intelligent structure located on space orbit, it wouldn't be impossible.

"Industrial-grade Ability!"

Kiterley didn't even feel envious. As a fellow Metal Ability User, the two took completely different skill paths.

Humans are the creatures best at using tools; without metal products, even stones could be turned into wonders, forcibly creating both the old and new Stone Ages.

How could a B-Ranked Special Ability matter? Even if the abilities were fixed from the start, with industrial-grade processing capacity plus sufficient imagination, one could fully exploit human racial talent to an unimaginable extent.

"Found it!"

Rising into the air, about a hundred meters from the ground, Chen Fei found the location of Refuge No. B256 with the help of "Adam."

This place was already occupied by mutants, with no less than three hundred mutants within a kilometer radius. Everywhere one looked, it was densely packed, chilling to the bone.

The entrance was near a kindergarten, where dozens of mutants were frantically digging. The solid concrete and asphalt surfaces were as easily scooped away as soft bread.

The ground had been torn open, exposing what seemed to be a transfer passage. People hiding in the shelter were blocked inside, unable to move to other safe places, no wonder there was an urgent call for help.

If no one came soon, the shelter would eventually be dug open.

Chen Fei, operating the "Dragon King," extended his hand, and the Thick-Edged Greatsword transformed. Drawing a sample of the Railgun Combat Rifle from the "Physical Evolution Database," it immediately evolved into shape, albeit scaled up three or four times, with 30mm solid-core bullets loaded.

A whirlwind-like howling sound arose, and a dense barrage covered the area.

Seemingly smelling the presence of humans, the mutants digging frantically at the shelter's entrance were pierced through by bullets from behind.

The Railgun Combat Rifle deliberately controlled the firing power; the bullets that went through the mutants stopped after burying about a meter into the ground.

If it had fired at full power, it could have easily penetrated the ground, posing a threat to the people inside the shelter.

"Squeak!"

A screech descended from the sky, and the "Dragon King"-wrapped Chen Fei staggered, feeling an immense impact on his shoulder.

A six-winged insect mutant pounced on the giantized "Dragon King." Its fierce limbs enthusiastically embraced, and its constantly moving mouthparts, dripping with acid, fell on the surface of the "Dragon King," immediately etching shallow pits while emitting a pungent smoke.

Spurt!~

The next second the "Dragon King" turned into a porcupine, spikes sprung from its body as long as four meters, instantly piercing through the enthusiastic giant insect.

It was purely foolish for such a close creature, possessing evolutionary skills, to be a Metal Elemental Psychic Power user, hurrying to reincarnate.

The Railgun Combat Rifle changed back to the Thick-Edged Greatsword, which was casually swung, disassembling blade by blade, suddenly stretching out more than ten meters into a Chain Sword. Leaping forward and swinging it with a flick of his arm, crackles continuously sounded as the Chain Sword swept a bloody storm among the mutant group.
