Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1354 - 1320: The Young Treasure

"Ugh..." ×7

Lu Man and his six companions were kneeling not far from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, vomiting even their meals from the night before.

The stench of countless decaying flesh was so overwhelming that it covered up the smell of the rainbow-like vomit from all seven of them.

Inexperienced flowers from the greenhouse, even if they've poked big holes before, still can't stand such a dreadful scene.

"Hmm, not bad!"

Chen Fei and Heseman Brown exchanged a glance, sharing a mutually understanding look.

The seven-member team was vomiting profusely at the periphery of the third "abnormal region," but at least they could stick around until now; their psychological resilience was barely adequate—not so bad as to start puking uncontrollably just upon arrival. The work ahead won't be easy.

"They still need more practice!"

Heseman Brown was unfazed by such scenes long ago; he'd seen plenty before, anyway. It was mainly the wrecks of biological combat weapons and biological space motherships, or piles of combat mechs and battle spaceship remains. Human soldier casualties were quite limited; as long as they weren't killed on the spot, even if they had only one breath left, they could mostly be saved. Missing arms or legs were considered minor injuries, and if fortunate enough to receive a SPA Fruit from passing Chen Fei, the recovery would take only a few minutes instead of eighteen years, guaranteeing a full resurrection with no blind spots.

"Should we cut off their limbs, let them see their own blood, and maybe after a few times, they'll get used to it."

Chen Fei rubbed his chin, grinning a smile that could even scare a capitalist into wetting themselves.

The S-Class Space Ability User shivered uncontrollably, shaking his head straight: "N-no, let's forget about that! It's too inhumane!"

That's way too harsh—not treating people like people!

They're another group of newly caught sheep and cattle, Heaven have mercy!

"Then let's just take a couple more rounds around, sigh!"

Once upon a time, when Chen Fei killed enemies with his own hands, amidst a mess of blood, he didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

Teacher Shen was also mercilessly killing without batting an eye; they were all adorable man-eater carnations of The First Sovereign, blooming freely as soon as they crossed the national border.

"We... we can still manage!"

Lu Man spat decisively; after all, he was an S-Class Superpower User and couldn't afford to be underestimated.

"Yeah! We'll quickly adapt to such a small scene!"

"This is nothing at all!"

"That's right, we don't care at all!"

"Vomit until you get used to it!"

"It's just a few spits, after all."

A-level companions held their own pride as well; young people couldn't stand being looked down upon, even though Chen Fei didn't mean to provoke them, they were fired up on their own.

"Oh, seems like your spirits are decent!"

Chen Fei snapped his fingers, and the battlefield instantly cleared up; his spiritual power completely enveloped the entire "abnormal region" and surrounding battlefields.

Countless chunks of flesh and mechanical wreckage vanished without a trace, the bloody rain falling into the "Life Tree," while the mechanical remnants were piled up, awaiting collection.

Currently, Energy Points and standard Metal Ingots reserves are ample and there's no immediate need for these battle-damaged scrapped tactical equipment.

A-level Space Series Ability User Kels asked with some confusion: "Is our task only to collect these corpses?"

If that's all, it doesn't qualify as a significant mission.

"These corpses are the war resources of the 'Sagali' civilization, carrying countless spores inside. Once fully matured, they will incubate even more war weapons..." Chen Fei looked deeply at these young people, speaking slowly and clearly: "We will lose!"

"Ah!" ×7

None of the seven had expected that collecting bodies would be so significant, related to the life and death survival of human destiny.

Kels weakly asked: "Then, where will these bodies be sent and how are they handled?"

The others were equally curious; despite Chen Fei making the mountain of corpses and sea of blood disappear with a snap of his fingers, the actual situation wasn't as simple as it appeared.

Chen Fei chuckled lightly, saying: "Hehe, of course, they'll become our resources for storage."

If it weren't for Seed Nest McKenny's gift, it would have been a huge trouble, but now the situation has reversed.

The "Life Tree" has always been hidden within the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, and the 'Sagali' civilization probably still hasn't realized its existence.

"Could we really utilize it then?"

The seven companions looked at each other, seemingly reluctant to believe it.

Blue Star mainly pursues industrial technology, excels in material synthesis and processing, but its research in the field of biotechnology seems far inferior to the "Sagali" who specialize in pure biotechnology.

"Of course! It's a secret, but you'll understand in the future."

Chen Fei raised his index finger and pressed it against his mouth, indicating the need for secrecy. Time would test the reliability of these young people, but for now, it was better to keep things under wraps.

"Understood!"

Kels nodded after receiving the answer.

"It doesn't have to be so complicated; we can do more."

Lu Man suddenly spoke up.

He and his teammates didn't want to be underestimated; they had to demonstrate their value to earn the respect they deserved.

The young people's pride was particularly strong.

"Hmm?" Chen Fei was slightly taken aback and said, "Please speak!"

He was not a dictator who dominated all decisions. If there were good suggestions, he would certainly accept them humbly. Two heads are better than one, and it would save him some effort too.

"I can use Space System Alchemy Storage Device to collect items as you do."

Lu Man assumed Chen Fei used a Space System Alchemy Storage Device to effortlessly collect so many things, but unlike others, he could even collect items from very far away.

This was entirely new information not recorded in any archives.

Curious, Chen Fei asked, "Oh? How far can your spiritual power reach?"

Although he was not a Psychic Power User, with the massive spiritual power shared by the "Life Tree," he possessed far more than any S-Class or Heavenly Order Psychic Power User.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Man said, "20 kilometers!"

This was probably his limit, a remarkable distance beyond normal visual range.

"S-Class is S-Class, incomparable!"

Heseman Brown shook his head as he spoke, unsure if he was praising Lu Man or himself.

However, he was right about one thing: an S-Class is beyond comparison with A-Class or below. Being rated S-Class signified truly extraordinary abilities.

Chen Fei stroked the stubble on his chin and said with interest, "Interesting!"

Even with some discount, a dozen kilometers was sufficient to ensure safety. Using the Space System Alchemy Storage Device, Lu Man could help collect a substantial amount of resources.

Encouraged by Lu Man's lead, Kels also timidly raised his hand.

"I also have a temporary storage skill that I just mastered two months ago."

Not only Lu Man's teammates but also Chen Fei and Heseman Brown looked over in surprise.

This wasn't recorded in Kels' personal ability files either, a series of surprises indeed.

"How much storage space? How long can it last? Is it governed by time rules?"

Chen Fei asked three consecutive questions, all hitting the key points.

Their reactions frightened Lu Man slightly, but he still mustered the courage to continue, "About a thousand cubic meters, can last for 24 hours, and has time rules, with the flow of time being five times slower than the outside!"

"Wow! That's impressive, let me think it over."

Chen Fei clicked his tongue; a treasure of a young man hiding such astonishing Psi Skills. Even for an A-Class, it was a very rare Space-related superpower.

With time rules, it was a Life Space, plus a thousand cubic meters, an extraordinary skill. The problems thrown at Mr. Brown before were just a lie, but unexpectedly, they were validated in this young man, who really had Psi Skill connecting to the Life Space.

After taking a turn, he returned to the bridge cabin of the Kilometer Flying Ship "No.2 Command Ship."

Chen Fei finally made a decision and told Lu Man and the others, "I'll give you ten days to form a team centered around Lu Man and Kels. Your task is to replace Mr. Brown and me in collecting those materials. Take everything except stones, air, and living people. Bring back as much of the corpses and damaged equipment as possible. The other five should not think that just because they're not the core, their duties are unimportant. Quite the opposite. I need you all to cooperate with each other, handle unexpected situations, withstand the fiercest attacks, and don't get caught up in battles. Retreat when possible, as combat is not your primary responsibility. Ensure those resources come back safely, if nothing else, prioritize your return…"

He gave many instructions and then handed the seven young people to the experienced Ability User guides at the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee Headquarters. They would be organized into a coherent team, optimizing their Psi Skills for upcoming tasks and enhancing battlefield survival skills with offensive and defensive capabilities, with hands-on combat training until they adapted to the brutal environment of "mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

With Lu Man and Kels' new Psi Skills, they could likely take over much of Chen Fei's resource collection, sparing him and Heseman Brown from running themselves ragged.

"Mr. Brown, we can finally breathe a little easier!"

Chen Fei exhaled deeply after setting up a separate monitoring process for the seven young people.

Though they had not yet executed their mission, the invisible pressure on Chen Fei eased significantly. Being constantly pressed by the "Sagali" civilization to the limit was extremely uncomfortable.

If someone could share a bit of the burden, even a little, it would be enough for him to regain his footing and deal with the Parasitic Species' new tricks.

"Indeed! With Space Transmission and resource collection, Lu Man and Kels can replace the two of us. Adding the others, safety assurance becomes possible at least."

Even though Kels' teleportation capability was limited to his seven teammates and couldn't carry a Small Flying Ship or even vehicles, not having to participate in battles greatly satisfied Heseman Brown.

After all, they are A-Class, and expectations shouldn't be too high; they couldn't be compared to him transporting an entire Airship Battle Group through "Space Transmission."
