Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 790: Section 785 - A Family

```

Was it other Pure Light Sparrows arriving first, or the supply materials being delivered earlier? Chen Fei's remark hit the nail on the head on the spot.

"And Pure Light Sparrows are not easy to catch!"

White Phoenix A also pointed out another limiting condition.

Even if the Pure Light Sparrows are weaker, they still possess the bloodline of Magical Beasts, with an evolutionary level superior to ordinary wild beasts. Naturally, their little brains are much smarter, so whether it be luring or capturing by force, it's not so easy.

Even if one were to somehow gather several hundred Pure Light Sparrows native to this land, by that time, the military's supply materials would likely have already arrived.

Doing so would also have repercussions, as animal protection organizations would undoubtedly emerge to cause trouble and organize various protest activities.

On Cangqiong Star, making kebabs out of Pure Light Sparrows is a common household meal, everyone is used to it, but on Blue Star, it's not okay—even for newcomers. Without causing harm or population control issues, why should they be harmed?

"So there's no way around it!"

White Phoenix B logically deduced this conclusion, adding this footnote to A's thoughts.

What can be done now is only to economize the special magic linkage of the Pure Light Sparrows and keep up the most effective rhythm.

"You've got to keep pushing!"

Chen Fei patted Xiao Jiu's head, then went on to pat the heads of all the other Pure Light Sparrows, eliciting a flurry of chirping.

At this moment, apart from Xiao Jiu, the other Pure Light Sparrows no longer rejected him.

Seeing the interaction between Chen Fei and the little birds, both heads of White Phoenix said in unison, "Who would have guessed, you really have a way with Pure Light Sparrows!"

"There must be other reasons too!"

A crowd was glaring at Chen Fei with anger in their eyes, and he sheepishly withdrew his hand.

His impulsive action to pat the birds' heads had disrupted the Pure Light Sparrows' spell casting, immediately provoking public outrage.

"I've got things to take care of, so I'll be off first, we'll chat more... next time!"

The Dual-Headed White Wind Crane remembered it had work to do, and no sooner had the word "chat" left its mouth than it had soared away on the wind, disappearing from Chen Fei's sight.

Chen Fei said to the triage doctor cooperating with Xiao Jiu, "Take good care of Xiao Jiu. Apart from granular feed and mealworms, it also likes alcohol, especially the good stuff."

Then he left his contact number with the other party for future communication.

The triage doctor readily agreed; these little birds had been of great help to him.

Finally, Chen Fei said to Lu Shang beside him, "Let's head back too!"

No sooner had the two stepped out of the emergency area than they heard a shout.

"Brother..."

Chen Fei looked towards the voice, oh my goodness!

He almost jumped out of his skin. His little sister had been beaten up—noticing her covered in blood!

No wonder the word "brother" carried a hint of snow in June.

"Xiao Meng, what happened to you?"

Chen Fei looked at Chen Meng, who was gasping for air as she ran over in her isolation protective clothing.

"There are too many injured, women working as men, men working like cattle. Brother, did you come to pick me up?"

Chen Meng looked hopefully at her second brother, although most of her expression was hidden behind her mask, her eyes were full of grievance.

"No, I just came to see how you and Xiao Jiu were doing."

Chen Fei quietly took a small step back.

"Eh? You didn't come to pick me up? I'm almost worked to death! You, take over for me! Men should be doing this kind of work!"

Chen Meng wanted to take off the stifling, hot protective suit, planning to dump this exhausting job onto her smelly big brother.

A fragrant and beautiful fairy shouldn't be splattered with blood!

"How could that be? Your brother used banned weapons and is now about to be placed in solitary confinement, waiting for investigation! How could I have the time to help you?"

Chen Fei turned his head to Assistant Lu Shang to confirm, almost pleadingly, "Isn't that right, Assistant Lu!"

"Uh, indeed it is!"

Lu Shang couldn't fail to understand the interplay between these siblings, but he could only tell the truth and was forced to concede.

"Ah! I don't want this!"

Little Sister Chen let out a wail, having come to the hospital with Xiao Jiu only to find herself in a bind; she wasn't there to carry corpses, no, no, no, no!

"Good luck, Little Sister! I believe in you. Also, call Xiao Liu over. As they say, men and women paired together, work doesn't tire."

```

Chen Fei suddenly felt being grounded wasn't so bad, as he didn't have to do any of these hard tasks.

He waved to Little Sister Chen and left with Assistant Lu Shang.

"Dead Second Brother, stinky Second Brother, rotten Second Brother! Chen Xiao'er, I hate you..."

A moment later.

"Comrade Liu Mingquan, the country needs you now. Come to the morgue at City First Hospital immediately!"

Xiao Liu: "???"

Blood is thicker than water.

Father Chen and Mother Chen looked at their empty home, exchanged glances, and realized none of their children were reliable.

(Elder Brother Chen with a dumbfounded expression and children in tow: It's not me, I didn't, no way no way no way)

...

Back at the park camp, Assistant Lu Shang arranged a modular housing dormitory for Chen Fei, which was a double room. One bed belonged to Chen Fei, and the other to Lu Shang, making them perfect roommates.

After providing some living supplies and informing him about the layout of the camp facilities, Assistant Lu Shang went off to attend to her own duties.

Chen Fei's confinement wasn't like being in jail; his movements were just restricted to the park. As long as he didn't leave the park, his eating, sleeping, exercising, and communication with the outside world weren't affected.

He turned on the TV in the dormitory, and sure enough, the commotion caused by the black Vortex Cloud was almost dominating Blue Star's current hot topics.

The media's rapid response and execution capabilities had even surpassed the Sovereign Intelligence Departments. Instead of waiting for official briefings, it was better to watch the real-time news reporting, which even included interactive subtitles.

The coalition forces of various Sovereign states had already landed on the Antarctic Continent and were rounding up the invading Monsters. The severe cold slowed down many Monsters, making them sitting ducks, but there were still some cold-resistant Monsters that remained active, causing quite a bit of trouble for the coalition forces. However, the situation was gradually improving.

The live battlefield footage on the TV screen suddenly flashed with blue light, and the black Vortex Cloud swirling in the blizzard was dispersed by the sudden burst of blue light. The snowy sky even had a moment of snow-free space, then was filled again by drifting snowflakes.

It seemed the coalition forces had received intelligence that the Element Annihilation Bomb was effective against the black Vortex Cloud and had deployed one accordingly, with immediate results.

Chen Fei pressed the remote, changing channels to check the situation of the black Vortex Cloud in Africa.

The situation there was quite unexpected, as the Sovereign forces were crushed by Monsters that did not use guns, cannons, and didn't even know Spells, leading to a total frontline collapse.

This combat strength... was consistently terrible as always, a steadfast commitment to being awfully incompetent for a hundred years!

Chen Fei took out his cell phone and searched for civilian exposés on the roadside. He was shocked to find that the situation was even more exaggerated than what the media had reported.

The black Vortex Cloud that appeared in Africa picked a good location; the military had almost become a money-making tool for local warlords, trading arms and illegal drugs, engaging in whatever made money the fastest, with robbery and murder as common as eating and drinking. There were even hidden immoral businesses like human trafficking. They were adept at illegal business and oppressing the good, but their actual combat capabilities had been long abysmal, holding mostly outdated equipment from thirty years ago.

While it wasn't that Sovereign states hadn't spent people's hard-earned money on advanced equipment, due to widespread neglect of duty from top to bottom, combined with severe deficiencies in supervision and training, it led to poor maintenance and occasional theft and sales, leaving very little equipment remaining. Even the equipment that was left, functioned like scrap iron and was completely useless.

Relying on these outdated and broken arms, it was foreseeable from the start that they couldn't possibly hold back the continuously emerging Monsters, and it wasn't surprising that the military collapsed without firing many shots.

Although local Sovereignties had received intelligence that the Element Annihilation Bomb could destroy the black Vortex Cloud, because of poor storage, the reserves of Element Annihilation Bombs couldn't be launched in a short time, and they were unwilling (and afraid) to accept friendly assistance from nearby Sovereignties. What if they shoot an Element Annihilation Bomb into their territory remotely and miss?

It's raining when the roof is leaking, incompetent, lazy, and unlucky, the world's biggest jinx, so unlucky, it's unmatched.

The surrounding Sovereignties began to mobilize, preparing for an unprecedented mess.

As Chen Fei was watching various news reports, Boss Hana's call came through.

The first sentence after connecting left Chen Fei somewhat dumbfounded.

"Looks like you're still alive!"

Such a familiar line!

"Of course, I'm still alive!"

Chen Xiao'er felt powerless to complain, the phrase just didn't sound quite right.

But who asked him to do work where his life hung by a thread? At any moment, his parents could receive his death gratuity – at least several million. Emmm... not a bad deal!

"I saw the news, your hometown also experienced an unidentified invasion. Considering you might have been in the battle, I didn't dare to dial this number until I confirmed through the news that the unidentified invasion in your area was eradicated. 'Rookie,' is the actual situation really as I imagined?"

In Chapala City on the South Continent of America, Hanna Gagel of Jiu Defense Company was worried about Chen Fei, who was in one of the locations where the eerie cloud formations appeared, when she learned that three areas on Blue Star had developed them.

The nature of the black Vortex Cloud was still uncertain, so she referred to the strange cloud that kept dropping a large number of Monsters as "unidentified invasions."

"You're worthy of being the BOSS, your prediction was very accurate. If you had called me two hours ago, I was indeed in battle."

Chen Fei wasn't surprised by Boss Hana's guess. After all, how could someone who ran a military contracting firm not have some military acumen?

"You were the first to finish the battle, and there's the 'Dragon Slayer Missile.' I guess that was your doing."

Hanna Gagel could hardly think of a second person so reckless as to use the 'Dragon Slayer Missile' over a densely populated urban economic zone. 'Rookie' Chen Fei had previously left a similar track record on his first day at work, nearly costing him his own life. Later, during the corporate warfare, he and Squadron Leader Chekhov got drunk, stole a 'Big Mouth Monster' to raid the enemy's Aircrew Base, and fumbled around to the point of death—in this respect, his record was full of blemishes and never improved.

"Heh heh!"
