Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 816: Section 811 - Trouble Follows Trouble
The multiple blasts and the spreading shockwaves of the thermobaric bombs ended up pushing the No. 2 flagship farther away, increasing the distance from the black vortex cloud to over two hundred meters.
A massive tornado connecting to the ground now appeared at the location of the black vortex cloud, drawing not just the monsters, but also the flames from the incendiary bombs and the sand and stones from the ground, all sucked towards the black cloud.
Inside the black cloud, a faint red light flickered, almost breaking through the cloud but failing to create another shockwave. This indicated that the critical limit for the fuel-air explosive could no longer be met.
The original plan to use the final few shockwaves to push the airship further away had failed at this critical moment.
"Unlock the 'Dragon Slayer Missile' now!"
Chen Fei was ready to deploy his trump card. If not now, then when?
Since you like absorbing so much, how about absorbing something big?
As for the work progress of those three Space System Ability Users, it was completely disregarded at this critical juncture—survival was the priority.
No one knew what fate awaited those who got sucked into that mysterious black cloud. They might be thrown onto a terrifying planet full of horrific creatures and never return to Blue Star.
"Dragon Slayer Missile No. 1 unlocked! Dragon Slayer Missile No. 2 unlocked! Hey, Rookie, don't do anything crazy!"
The communications officer at the command center replied immediately, sounding very anxious by the end.
This guy with the code name "Rookie" possessed a most ruthless move called "Mutual Annihilation," with a noted history of previous offenses, marking him as an extremely deadly individual who wouldn't even spare himself when crazed.
When Chen Fei released the thermobaric bomb, the command center had already input the final unlock codes for the two Dragon Slayer Missiles. Removing the physical safety and launching them would unleash a terrifying power of annihilation.
"Adam, calculate the blast radius, prepare for targeted deployment! Missile No. 1 ready!"
The AR visual assistance before Chen Fei immediately displayed the annihilation radius of the Dragon Slayer Missile and the position of the black vortex cloud.
After a slight manual adjustment, a ball of fire shot up into the sky. The air-breathing hypersonic rocket propulsion engine reached an altitude of 5000 meters almost instantly, then turned around, diving vertically.
"Everyone, prepare for impact!"
Chen Fei warned loudly. Deploying the trump card was no joke.
Everyone around the "Sun Room" corridor retreated at the first instance of the ten thermobaric bombs being launched. The "Sun Room" moved back to the bow of the ship, returning to its original bridge form, with everyone sitting properly, eating fruit, behaving well, and not missing anyone.
"Rookie, isn't this too close?"
The insidious monk swallowed hard while watching the position light representing the Dragon Slayer Missile and the annihilation radius on the three-dimensional holographic projection screen continuously drop, feeling very uneasy.
Mouri Misono stared intently at that light spot, just about to overlap with the position of the black cloud.
The Fuji Security Group's few aircrew bases, contracted by Mouri, also possessed Dragon Slayer Missiles as their last resort, with each base typically having one or two. However, they hardly had the chance to use them, so despite her many years in the military contractor business, this was Mouri's first time witnessing a Dragon Slayer Missile being used.
"I have no other option!"
To boost thrust, he even used the missile's rocket engine. The tail of the No. 2 flagship flickered with over ten pairs of various jets. With such unified thrust, it could probably send a satellite into low Earth orbit.
A brilliant blue light flashed in the sky, an almost glowing blue mist spreading from the explosion center in all directions.
Everyone inside the airship felt their bodies suddenly lighten, almost as if they had lost gravity and were about to float when a massive, wave-like force surged in, pinning everyone tightly to their seats, making breathing nearly impossible.
This forced cessation of breath lasted only four to five seconds before receding rapidly like a tide. Everyone in the airship was gasping for air to replenish their lungs.
The scenery outside the portholes moved rapidly, and after a sudden flash of white mist, the airship gradually slowed down.
"Approximately 5.1 kilometers from the black cloud."
Not only Chen Fei, but everyone was pinned to their reclining chairs by the sudden 1.1 Mach acceleration.
Experiencing supersonic speed wasn't something everyone could enjoy daily. Keeping still was everyone's only option, as being flung out at such speed would plaster one onto the wall like a thrown pancake, not coming off for at least half a day.
Mouri Misono asked with lingering fear, "What just happened?"
She breathed a sigh of relief as her safety harness automatically unfastened, allowing her to move freely.
"Nothing much, just a light nip from the residual force of the Element Annihilation Bomb."
Despite Chen Fei's nonchalant tone, the blue light's expansive radius had exceeded expectations. True military equipment, not the reduced versions given to contractors, the residual force alone had cost him at least 30 energy points, nearly tearing apart the tail section of the ship. Fortunately, it recovered quickly; otherwise, losing aerodynamic shape could cause loss of flight control, spinning the ship multiple times before crashing and scattering debris within a ten-mile radius.
Of course, such a total annihilation was hardly a big deal!
Mouri Misono doubted his words, suspecting the situation was much more dangerous and that their survival was merely by chance.
Mouri's guess wasn't far from the truth.
Chen Xiao'er, when crazed, was indeed terrifying.
"Ugh!"
The monk elegantly tore a convenience bag, vomiting profusely.
A few Machs of speed made him this dizzy?
Clearly, the weak point was the semicircular canals, proven!
"Miyoshi, are you okay?"
Compassionate Mouri Misono handed him a cup of tea to rinse his mouth.
"I'm fine, thank you!"
Pallid as a ghost, Miyoshi Xuesen took the tea, sipped, found it insufficient, and grabbed the teapot, ignoring the heat, pouring it into his mouth.
The fist-sized pot couldn't pour in one go, trickling away quickly, barely providing two to three mouthfuls of rinse water.
"Phew, almost cost this monk his life!"
Finally regaining some color, the monk sighed in relief, no longer vomiting.
"Don't worry, the good don't live long, but the wicked live a thousand years. Monk, are you a good person?"
Chen Fei had enough energy to joke.
"You, how dare you accuse me so falsely!"
Indignant, Miyoshi Monk protested. Rarely did he lose his composure.
"Hahaha!"
Mouri Misono saw through him; this monk wasn't a good person.
If she knew Chen Fei, one of the heads at the 911 Aircrew Base, was a notorious pervert, she'd understand "Rookie" interacted with all sorts, indiscriminately.
"It's safe for now. Eh? Mouri, why is your nose bleeding?"
Chen Fei noticed blood trickling naturally from Mouri Misono's nostrils.
"Huh? Nosebleed?"
Mouri Misono hastily wiped the blood onto her hands, then used tissues.
Nearby, Miyoshi Monk stared at his tea cup. The clear tea had turned red, with blood pearls dripping from his nose into the cup.
"Miyoshi, you have a nosebleed too!"
Chen Fei realized more than Mouri Misono had a nosebleed.
"Ah! What is happening?"
Miyoshi Monk, regaining his senses, almost threw the cup of nosebleed-tainted tea.
"Ah, nosebleed, nosebleed."
The communication officer exclaimed through the channel.
Chaos reigned inside the airship, with nearly everyone mysteriously suffering nosebleeds.
"Attention, we suffered a psychic attack. Nosebleeds are normal; monitor your blood pressure if possible."
Sticking paper into her nostrils, the communication officer resumed duties.
A psychic attack usually caused nosebleeds. Though one might not feel it, the body was honest. Some might see their underlying conditions triggered, fainting if hypertensive. Bleeding could be beneficial.
"Where did the psychic attack come from?"
One of the few spared, Chen Fei asked the command center.
After a pause, the officer confirmed, "From the rear!"
The rear?
The Dragon Slayer Missile was indeed the black vortex cloud's nemesis.
After one hit, the black cloud almost vanished but left a three-meter-long black vertical crack, intermittently releasing thick purple-blue lightning while psychic shockwaves swept outward.
A new situation had arisen. The black vortex cloud hadn't entirely disappeared, leaving a sturdy black fissure.
"Launch the second Dragon Slayer Missile!"
Without hesitation, Chen Fei launched another Dragon Slayer Missile to solve the problem.
The next second, a missile streaked out, heading for the lightning-emitting black fissure.
Ten kilometers closed almost instantly.
The blue light expanded again...
