Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 561: Section 557 - Lockdown



With the almost endless computing power provided by Chen Fei, the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" had a recognition efficiency far higher than manual flesh-and-eye identification. "Xiao Jiu, southwest 5 kilometers, edge of the parking lot!" Chen Fei gave Little Bird the direction. It took Pure Light Sparrow quite a while to brew, and after a chirp, a light screen appeared in front of Chen Fei. The picture kept pulling and changing until it reached beyond 5 kilometers. Since the field of view was entirely unrestricted by surveillance cameras, the figure of "Plagiarist Ghost" was exceptionally clear. The target was rushing to a car, pulled open the door, and climbed in. Two legs weren't enough to run; he also needed to get on four wheels—truly a clever and cunning fellow. Comparing it with the electronic map, Chen Fei immediately made a judgment and took out his mobile phone to dial. "'Rookie,' that guy has run away!" As soon as the connection was made, Miyoshi Monk's voice came proactively. "He's at a parking lot 5 kilometers away, getting ready to drive off." Chen Fei immediately responded. "What? A parking lot? How do you know?" Miyoshi Xuesen was shocked at Chen Fei's efficiency. He had thought that this capture operation had failed, but it turned out it had not yet ended. Chen Fei was still in the original place, but in such a short time, he had once again captured the position of "Plagiarist Ghost." "It's 'Adam.' It's temporarily taken over the surveillance system here." After Chen Fei explained, he added another sentence. "You need to notify the organizer." The reason AI "Adam" was able to gain access to the surveillance system was mainly that it took advantage of the technicians not paying attention and seized it in the blink of an eye. If they waited until the other side reacted, it would inevitably lead to a struggle. If they encountered an expert, Chen Fei might have to recompile "Adam" again because such incidents had occurred before. "I got it! Hmm, I see that guy. I'll send you his vehicle location later." Miyoshi Xuesen also had access to the surveillance system and even more permissions. He confirmed Chen Fei's reported situation immediately. Indeed, as Chen Fei had said, "Plagiarist Ghost" started preparing to flee after getting in the car. At the Comprehensive Center, the Huntsman Squad members couldn't agree with the members of the "Plagiarist Ghost" team. Both were too proud and arrogant, and when they failed to see eye to eye, they fought, leading to chaos at the scene. Miyoshi Xuesen ignored these fellows who had joined the Huntsman Squad for less than a month and continued to keep in touch with Chen Fei. The "Dragon King" Assault-Type Armor soared into the sky. "Fluid Vortex (2)" maintained a constant thrust, "Air Burst (2)" provided continuous explosive power, and "Wind Cone (2)" magic arrays reduced air resistance. Although it occasionally lunged forward, looking a bit odd, its speed still gradually increased. While the aerodynamic design of the Single Soldier Tactical Armor was not meant for high-speed flight and couldn't compare with professional Aircraft like turboprop and jet planes, it was no problem with the "Wind Cone." The four-wheeled vehicle on the ground would not easily shake it off. "The target vehicle has been visually acquired!" The "Dragon King" Assault-Type Armor flew at an altitude of 500 meters above the ground, overlooking an off-road jeep within its field of view. The target had left the main road and was heading deep into the Great Rift Valley, seemingly in a panic. Miyoshi Xuesen obtained the off-road jeep's vehicular positioning rights. Civilian products were completely transparent to special departments, with no secrets. As long as Chen Fei followed the location signal, he wouldn't lose track. At this moment, he was about sixty kilometers away from the "Abyssal Gladiatorial" venue, driving across the wilderness scattered with pebbles and ditches. It was remarkable that the off-road jeep's cross-country performance allowed it to rarely go below 80 kilometers per hour. Beep beep beep... Adam: Locked by fire control radar! "What? Where is the fire control radar coming from?" Chen Fei quickly looked around but saw no sign of combat aircraft. The fire control systems that could appear at this time only belonged to combat aircraft in the "Abyssal Gladiatorial" battle. However, the gladiatorial participant aircraft lacked stealth capabilities, and enemy identification was limited to opponents; automatic guided weapons could not attack non-target entities. The "Dragon King" Assault-Type Armor on Chen Fei wouldn't be mistakenly targeted by the combatants. "Ultra-long Vision," "Macroscopic Perspective," and "Visual Assistance," the three modules of the Basic Optical Observer, were simultaneously brought online. The "Abyssal Gladiatorial" combat rules stipulated that the attack distance must be within 30 kilometers, meaning the Optical Observer could fully detect the opponent. After looking around, Chen Fei found nothing. A false alarm? If it were an issue with the "Dragon King" itself, it would have been one thing, but the alert was issued by "Adam." It made one wonder how extensive a bug in "Adam" would have to be to falsely report military intelligence. "'Adam,' scan the surroundings at maximum power and see if there is anything unusual." Chen Fei retracted the magic arrays imprinted on the surface of the "Dragon King" Assault-Type Armor and began to descend. In the upper left corner of his visual interface, the warning that he was locked by fire control radar continued to flash above the caption Adam provided, meaning he was constantly in someone's crosshairs, just that the attack hadn't arrived yet. There shouldn't be anyone so bold as to offend the organizers of the "Abyssal Gladiatorial" and attack others, right?! Adam: Number of fire control radar beam segments: 115 A new screen appeared before Chen Fei, showing an electronic map with his location at the center, dense with signal sources from fire control radar beams. This is the posture of being about to be focus-fired, how deep a grudge, what intense hatred? Damn, it must be a BUG! He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, how could he possibly be targeted by so many offensive weapons, something must be wrong. Forget it, forget it, just hurry up and take that "Plagiarist Ghost" into custody! With this thought, Chen Fei began to dive and accelerate, skillfully trading altitude for speed. Boom!~ He stomped heavily onto the hood of the off-road jeep. The full-speed vehicle's rear end kicked up high, the rear wheels completely left the ground, and just as it was about to roll over, it finally ran out of momentum and slammed back to the ground with a huge noise. All four tires burst, and together with the frame, the body was severely deformed. This car was completely totaled. "Time's up, 'Plagiarist Ghost'!" Chen Fei landed steadily, ripped off the car door, casually threw it over ten meters away, creating a cloud of dust, then pulled the person in the driver's seat out with one sweep. The other hand morphed into a Railgun Combat Rifle, loaded and charged, and pressed it against the other's head. The "Plagiarist Ghost" said with a trembling voice, "Who, who are you?" The shock from just now was quite intense for him; if it wasn't for the safety belt and the airbag deployment, he might have lost seventy to eighty percent of his life. "I am your Second Uncle!" Chen Fei was not polite, he butt-stroked with the rifle, seeing stars. This guy really knew how to run, he was almost about to get away. The 5 million from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee wasn't easy to claim, another person might have failed to capture him. "Rookie, did you catch him?" Miyoshi Monk's communication with Chen Fei had never been interrupted. "To be precise, I was also caught," Chen Fei retrieved the Railgun Combat Rifle and raised his hands high. Several Flyers glistening with the light of Magic Arrays silently surrounded him, thirty or more meters above the ground, collectively brandishing a variety of offensive weapon "Fangs." In the distance, dozens of armed personnel, also dressed in Single Soldier Tactical Armor, floated about a foot above the ground, rapidly approaching with performance that seemed not inferior to the "Dragon King" suit Chen Fei was wearing. Chen Fei revealed a bitter smile. Together with the hundred-plus radar locks he had received earlier, how could he not understand this meant there was definitely a big shot nearby, at the very least, someone at the Sovereignty level. Such special security-level clearances, indeed, couldn't be countered by the "Adam"-embedded "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor. "Eh?" Miyoshi Xuesen could only let out a surprised sound before the communication was cut off. Chen Fei's network wasn't down; it was just the civilian signal band of the phone that was gone. Thankfully, the "Plane Communication System," which had cost him quite a few Energy Points, was still maintaining the network. The guidance beam of the Railgun Combat Rifle landed on Chen Fei, turning into small green specks the size of mung beans. The armed personnel wearing Tactical Armor issued an order. "Disengage Armor!" "Understood!" The bulky and sturdy "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor instantly disintegrated into numerous tiny geometrical bodies, disappearing like bursting bubbles on Chen Fei's body, leaving no trace behind. "Huh?" "What's going on?" The encircling armed personnel seemed unable to comprehend why the "Dragon King" didn't mechanically disassemble as they had imagined, but rather melted away into nothingness. "Hey, everyone, I work for the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, capturing the wanted criminal 'Plagiarist Ghost,' no ill intentions. If you don't believe me, please feel free to verify," Chen Fei immediately brought up the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee in front of the unnamed garrison big shot's armed troops, better not to have any misunderstandings. After all, with a labor cooperation relationship worth 5 million Star Yuan, he wasn't worried about them checking. Even though his freedom was currently restricted, it was most likely temporary; once the misunderstanding was cleared, he could take the captured "Plagiarist Ghost" in exchange for the reward promised by Miyoshi Monk. Facing the muzzle, "Plagiarist Ghost" also obediently raised his hands high; when he stood next to Chen Fei, he suddenly grabbed Chen Fei's hand with a triumphant smile. "Ability Copying, hehe!" The next second, several darts stuck into "Plagiarist Ghost's" body, with flashes of electricity, he trembled violently. "I, I-I, I-I-I…" Oops… Chen Fei, not making any rash movements, could hardly bear to watch. This guy must have some serious misconceptions about the Sovereignty-level security forces.
