Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 676: Section 671 - Anatomy
As a B-level supernatural power user, Chen Fei's spiritual power level was not high, but his resistance was unexpectedly strong. Ordinary psychic techniques generally had difficulty affecting him, unless the intensity was particularly great.
The piercing pain in his brain gave Chen Fei a sense of familiarity, as if he had experienced the same sensation somewhere before.
"Hey, snap out of it! You haven't been knocked silly, have you?"
The Defense Commander of the Dimensional Gate Management Substation noticed Chen Fei's distraction and loudly reminded him.
If the other party continued to be foolishly unresponsive, a fierce slap to the ear might very well be on its way.
"Mhm, mhm, I'm listening. It's a Parasitic Species; we won't know until it's dissected. Prepare a place for me, I'm going to perform the dissection on-site."
Chen Fei had brought back the Parasitic Host along with the Parasitic Species because he wanted to see what they looked like.
According to the description by the big shot, Louis Landon, once parasitism was successful, the host's original consciousness would be destroyed, and even if the Parasite was removed, nothing would remain but a mindless vegetable.
The hosts he had brought back could be regarded as dead, and even if a live dissection was performed, there would be no ethical dilemma.
"Dissection? That's not your job to do; we've already prepared for it."
Colonel Sir, the Defense Commander, waved his hand dismissively—this was his territory, and his word was law.
"This is my captive, my spoils of war!"
Chen Fei's tone became hostile as he took out his phone, ready to report to Boss Hana.
The AI "Adam" immediately controlled the Combat Mechs to raise their Railgun Combat Rifles, standing off against the soldiers who were attempting to take the Parasitic Hosts.
People die for wealth, birds die for food. Any military contractor who encountered theft of spoils of war would fight for their lives without hesitation.
If the other party dared to make a move, he would blow up the entire Dimensional Gate the next second—screw the employment contract, tear it up, it's gone!
Boss Hana and her colleagues at Jiu Defense Company would definitely support Chen Fei in doing so without a second thought.
Even cats and dogs protect their food, let alone a military contractor that relies on spoils of war for a living. The Dimensional Gate Management Substations could forget about receiving support from military contractors in the future.
"This is a sovereign administrative order, a compulsory requisition. Military contractors are private military units and have no authority to handle such matters."
The Defense Commander stood his ground. Once the Parasite entered the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, it would never return to Chen Fei's hands.
Such creatures were too dangerous; it was definitely not a good thing for commoners to be in control.
"You'll have to pay extra!"
Chen Fei dialed Boss Hana's number.
"'Rookie', you're still alive?"
The One-Eyed Boss was surprised.
Chen Fei, on his own, had assisted the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation on Cangqiong Star in a fierce battle akin to a sovereignty war and was still alive to call her—a miracle.
If the Jiu Defense Company had fully participated in the battle, they would have been decimated in less than an hour, perhaps even sooner.
The large-scale civil war on Cangqiong Star had already caused a media uproar on Blue Star; both civilizations' publics were closely following the war situation on Zilu Continent.
"I've already died once!"
Chen Xiaopin now had freedom with Magic Medicine, which he had exchanged for his life!
What shitty magic potions, he really wanted to smack the whole box into the Defense Commander's face.

"Haha, haha, that's normal."
Boss Hana laughed heartily, pounding the table as she did.
That's more like it!
What civil war is ever simple? Dying once is the norm.
"Boss, someone's trying to snatch my spoils of war!"
Chen Fei didn't beat around the bush with the boss and got straight to the point.
"Who? Who dares?"
Hanna Gagar jumped up at once, her reaction almost identical to Chen Fei's earlier.
Heads can be chopped, blood can flow, but spoils of war must not be lost.
Without spoils of war, what would a military contractor eat, what would they drink, with so many people to support, and the daily operational expenses burning through money like fire.
"Of course, it's this Dimensional Gate Management Substation. Should we turn against them?"
Chen Fei earnestly sought guidance from his leader.
As long as Boss Hana dared to nod, he would immediately turn this Dimensional Gate Management Substation upside down, blow it apart from the center to the sky.
This was war; there was no right or wrong!
"Do you still have the goods?"
However, Hanna Gagar suddenly calmed down.
If the spoils were not in one's possession, all was lost.
Putting oneself in others' shoes, who would ever spit out something that had fallen into their own mouths? Military contractors were like this, and sovereignties even more so.
Chen Fei looked into the distance where the remaining seven Combat Mechs formed a circle, surrounding the four Parasitic Hosts at the center, with the Mechanical Dragon looming threateningly nearby.
"Still here, not one missing!"
A squad of Defensive Soldiers merely maintained a faint encircling stance; in fact, they were not eager to fight on the spot either.
The Dimensional Gate Management Substation had struggled to persist until now and they did not want to see it all come to naught due to infighting. It was also likely that the Sovereignty did not want to witness this scene.
"Alright, leave it with me. Hand the phone to the boss over there."
Hanna Gagar bluntly requested a higher-level conversation, king to king, general to general, toad against a green bean.
"Colonel Sir, our boss is looking for you!"
Chen Fei handed over his cellphone.
The Defense Commander had been waiting nearby from the start, as if he had expected the call.
"..."
After a murmured conversation, the cellphone was returned to Chen Fei.
"'Rookie', hand over the person! Then observe the autopsy on site. Keep your eyes wide open—this is all valuable intelligence."
Unable to outmuscle the powers that be, Boss Hana ultimately chose to bow to Sovereignty.
No matter what, a small military contractor couldn't afford to offend Sovereignty, so... it meant more money!
Earning money either way, it's not shameful to stand and make some Silver!
"Alright, got it!"
The corners of Chen Fei's mouth twitched.
He didn't ask the female BOSS how much extra she charged; he knew he wouldn't miss out on his cut either way.
"'Adam', handover."
Following orders, the defensive soldiers snatched away the four Parasitic Hosts that were bound hand and foot, stuffing them into single-person biochemical pods that looked like crystal coffins and had been prepared in advance.
The omnipresent Mental Shock ceased suddenly; the single-person biochemical pods blocked spiritual power.
"The Mental Shock has stopped!"
"Oh boy, now we can breathe a sigh of relief."
"What exactly happened?"
"Don't let it happen again; I was in the middle of a big one!"
Many relieved voices rang out around them, and plenty of people were still clueless, not knowing the source of the Mental Shock.
"The autopsy will begin in half an hour!"
After dropping that statement, the Defense Commander turned and left—it was an agreed upon condition.
Blue Star Sovereignty had long prepared an autopsy team that arrived through the Dimensional Gate to the Cangqiong Star side, with the site and equipment all ready to go. A live autopsy didn't require anything special.
Half an hour later.
"Turn off communications, no photography, recording, or video allowed."
A surgery room in the Dimensional Gate Management Substation was temporarily requisitioned as an autopsy room.
Chen Fei, donned in a full surgical protective suit, obediently handed over his cellphone and was scanned from head to toe before being allowed to enter the surgery room.
Observing the autopsy was part of the deal, the last remaining value of these Parasitic Hosts.
Information dealers or news media associated with military contractors might find intelligence on this subject very interesting and could sell it for a good sum of money.
Chen Fei blinked, and the AI "Adam" shared his vision, sneakily turned on the video recording, and even captured audio without needing any extra programming to collect visual and auditory signals.
The lead surgeon, anesthetist, and assistant team were in position.
The single-person biochemical pod was placed directly on the operation table, connected to various wires and fluid tubes.
"Camera and microphone tests passed."
Specialized recording equipment in the surgery room captured the procedure which belonged to Sovereignty.
"Vital signs normal, inject T3 anesthetic."
The anesthetist was the first to go to work, releasing 50 milliliters of aerosol via the respirator.
The special T3 anesthetic was a high-potency drug that required only one-hundredth of the current dose to knock out a fully grown blue whale within five minutes, and one ten-thousandth could be a lethal dose for humans.
But at that moment, everyone regarded these Parasitic Hosts as good as dead, and only a high dosage could control the Parasite within their bodies.
"Parasite activity decreased by 15%, alpha waveforms appeared."
"Parasite releasing delta waves, flush out T3 anesthetic, open the biochemical pod."
The autopsy team were experts in their field; even facing Parasites for the first time, they knew how to proceed.
With a soft puff of gas, the crystal coffin-like biochemical pod slowly opened to reveal the human body inside.
With a buzzing noise and flickering blue light, a laser scalpel sliced open the skin without a drop of blood, creating a long slit in the chest cavity.
"Drop in the pufferfish toxin."
A drop of translucent liquid fell into the chest cavity, faintly revealing the slowly writhing Parasite entwined with the heart and somewhat occupying the lung space.
Ordinary humans only use about twenty to thirty percent of their lung capacity, so even with the loss of half a lung lobe, survival wouldn't be impacted.
Pufferfish poison consists of neurotoxins, which can gradually paralyze the Parasite's neural fusion organs.
"Begin the separation attempt!"
The Parasite in a deep delta wave sleep was obliviously manipulated, the attempt being made to detach it from the human body as completely as possible.
Once removed from the host, the threat level of the Parasite would plummet.
Naturally, this rule did not apply to high-rank Parasites; the top-tier Parasites didn't even need to be parasitic to survive on their own.
The Dissecting Surgeon's skill was highly proficient; the laser scalpel kept steadily separating, and roughly an hour later, a creature resembling a baby was carefully extracted from the chest cavity and placed in a specially designed container.
"Live Specimen A, 18.45 centimeters in length, weighing 1.12 kilograms..."
In the container's fluid, the Parasite that had been floating suddenly opened its eyes.
