Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 268 Section 268 - Scientific Expedition Team



Reliance solely on the 911 aircrew system's radar and the tricycle's own satellite navigation for positioning would probably prove cumbersome, but the "Flying Dragon" tactical armor, with its direct link to military satellite positioning systems, offered an error margin of less than 10 centimeters, allowing Chen Fei to avoid detours and head straight for the predetermined location.

Swarms of wolves gathered en masse, their shrill howling sounds rising and falling incessantly.

Viewed from above, they resembled a large, shifting grey carpet that suddenly split and then closed together again.

The "Flying Dragon" tactical armor instantly calculated the identification data; 371 Asian Gray Wolves and 39 humans.

The thirty-plus people on the ground huddled together, tightly surrounded by the pack of wolves, with no chance of escape. Seeing the gyroplane approaching from afar, they frantically waved their arms and even lit smoke flares for rescue.

"Wow, nearly four hundred wolves," Chen Fei exclaimed in astonishment.

A pack of wolves numbering less than a hundred was manageable, but any more than that was unstoppable, as Teacher Shen Fei had once said. Once the number of wolves in the mountains surpassed a hundred, it became a disaster. They would dare to challenge everything alive, and even firearms would have difficulty stopping their ravenous hunger.

To satiate the hunger of so many, these wolves had nearly gone mad; they didn't care about whether their prey was human or not, braving a hail of bullets to charge fiercely forward.

Had it not been for the scientific expedition team's thorough preparation, carrying ample emergency supplies and relying on special pheromones and repelling sound waves, they might have just barely stopped the wolves' onslaught.

Otherwise, they would have been overwhelmed by the vicious wolves and torn apart, leaving not even a bone behind.

Nobody blamed these explorers for risking their lives by venturing into uninhabited areas. In the event of encountering ferocious wildlife, even magical beasts and mutants, rescue efforts were often too late, leading to total annihilation and tragedy.

In fact, their work was very important. Ecological surveys allowed for real-time monitoring of the reproduction of wild flora and fauna, aiding the preservation of the habitats of rare and protected species and maintaining biological diversity. They provided large data analyses for identifying threatening wildlife.

Nowadays, Blue Star had evolved from what it was thirty years ago. With the connection to Cangqiong Star, the invasion of species between planets was inevitable. Whether ordinary wildlife or magical beasts, activity in the remote corners of Blue Star was becoming increasingly frequent.

Moreover, the aftereffects of nuclear weapons, along with the mutants that had yet to be completely eradicated, necessitated that the Blue Star civilization establish the Global United Defense Committee. This committee tasked various military contractors, large and small, with extermination missions to barely maintain the ecological balance in the uninhabited zones.

However, if left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before the impact events from the thirty years of uncontrolled magical beast populations and mutants on human settlements became increasingly severe.

The natural scientific expedition teams that regularly patrolled the uninhabited areas became one of the critical means by which humans monitored nature and preemptively identified potential biological threats.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The more secluded the area, the greater the discovery potential.

The tricycle didn't care about the wolves on the ground nor did it choose a landing site, simply descending smoothly into the wind towards the ground.

The roaring engine and the violent wind from the spinning blades dispersed some of the wolves, allowing for a clearer view of the situation on the ground.

One bump, two bumps, three, four, five, six... after about a dozen jolts, the tricycle barely managed to complete its landing.

If it weren't for its simple, durable structure, such rough handling might have damaged the aircraft.

The wolf pack also surrounded the gyroplane, with snarling and growling all around.

Chen Fei did not take these wolves seriously at all. After stabilizing the tricycle, he walked towards the scientific team trapped in the middle of the pack, and waved from a distance.

"I've come to rescue you. How are you all? Is anyone hurt?"

Xiao Jiu circled in the sky. The aircrew base had directly delegated the task to Chen Fei, probably not only because he was the closest to the incident but also because he had a Third Rank Pure Light Sparrow capable of providing some level of emergency medical help. Continue your story on empire

Xiao Jiu had mastered the Second Rank Light-based Spell "Light of Redemption," which gave it the power to snatch lives from the clutches of the Grim Reaper.

"Are you alone? Hey, be careful!"

Before Chen Fei could finish asking, someone in the scientific team cried out in alarm.

The very next second, Chen Fei was covered in Asian Gray Wolves.

At least seven or eight wolves bit down hard on his neck, arms, and legs, with a deep growl emanating from their throats.

But! It! Did! Not! Matter!

Unaffected, Chen Fei continued his approach to the scientific team.

Knock it off!

His specialized aerial combat "Flying Dragon" tactical armor might not have the physical defense capabilities of the land-based versions, but it still had its basic defenses in place. It wasn't something that mere wolf fangs and bite force could penetrate.

The scene unfolding before them was hard to believe. The person who had just spoken with Chen Fei swallowed hard and asked loudly, "Are you, are you alright?"

"What could be wrong with me?"

Chen Fei couldn't care less about the wolves clinging onto him, as more wolves eagerly prepared to leap into action.

He casually pulled off one wolf; two bloody fangs fell out, and then it was thrown far away, yelping in pain as it landed with a thud.

"Don't hurt them!" someone shouted.

Emmmm... -_-?

Is this person's brain fried? They're almost wolf food, yet they're still worried about not harming them.
