NOVPUBAs he reached the door of the vehicle, Chen Fei was about to push it open and leave.
Without warning, a piercing howl erupted in his ears, echoing incessantly inside his head. The metal hoop-shaped Protective Forehead Accessory on his head crackled softly, and shockingly, thin crisscrossing cracks appeared on its surface.
"Fuck!"
He spun around abruptly, only to find that most of the soldiers and officers inside the carriage were aiming their Railgun Combat Rifles right at him.
Chen Fei was utterly puzzled.
"What are you doing?"
"What are you going to do?"
The officer’s lips twitched uncontrollably. He couldn’t deny his nerves were a bit on edge, but belief in ’better safe than sorry’ prevailed.
This mission had indeed been the weirdest one he had ever seen, pushing the limits of his worldview.
Despite having Mr. Ye, the S-rank Psychic Ability User, as their final trump card, they couldn’t afford to use him carelessly, not unless absolutely necessary, even if it meant sacrificing lives; Mr. Ye had to be the last resort.
"I’m going to take care of this Deflated Calf!"
Chen Fei turned his gaze and glared fiercely at their target secured inside the cage.
Damn it, howling some crap in his head?
"Ah? You—don’t mess around!"
The officer’s rifle muzzle couldn’t dare to move away.
"Wait and see what I’ve got up my sleeve!"
Chen Fei walked to the front of the vehicle where the driver’s seat was, and when he returned, he had a pair of headphones in his hand.
Approaching the cage, a metal bar, about an inch thick, rapidly expanded to form a large opening big enough to poke half his body through.
The headphones were directly attached to the magical bell, and Chen Fei fiddled with his cell phone.
"Connect Bluetooth!"
A faint sound followed.
"┗|｀O′|┛ Ao~~..."
Ghastly screams blared from the headphones—a playlist of twenty brainwashing Divine Songs began to play!
"Huh?"
The officer’s gun barrel involuntarily dropped.
Chen Fei then ripped off the Protective Forehead Artifact on his head, which shattered immediately, the fragments scattering all over the ground. He faced the mission target, ready to risk everything, and hissed through gritted teeth, "Come on! Feel my murderous aura, let’s see who’s crazier."
A lady from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee had once said that his mind was filled with nothing but evil and murderous thoughts. Since their target, proficient in Psychic Ability, loved to control minds, Chen Fei intended to let the enemy taste the flavor of vile thoughts and see who truly was the evilest.
Seeing Chen Fei’s Protective Forehead reduced to pieces, the officer could no longer keep his composure and exclaimed anxiously, "Hey, hey, your Protective Forehead!"
"It’s of poor quality!"
Chen Fei retorted without looking back.
Seemingly impacted by Psychic Ability, the Protective Forehead lost its protective function. It literally fell apart on his forehead with Chen Fei casually tearing off only the remnants.
The volume of the headphones was turned up to the max, and the magical bell seemed to have a harmonizing amplification effect, making the sound clearly audible throughout the entire carriage.
"What the hell is this?"
One of the soldiers looked awful, realizing that it was a Divine Song that had been circulating for a long time.
Instead of calling it a Divine Song, it might be more accurate to describe it as a demonic sound.
He swallowed hard, feeling like his brain had been captured by the sound. If it was put on a loop, he would probably die, right? No, he would certainly die!
A few soldiers who recognized the ’music’ exchanged horrified glances. It was too terrifying.
"Come on! Focus on me, let’s see who’s tougher!"
Chen Fei even tapped the magical bell with his fingers. His body hair stood on end, then lay down, stood up again, lay down… Emmmmm, this sensation was really addictive.
Mr. Ye, the S-rank Psychic Ability User, twitched his eyelids slightly, cracking open a tiny slit.
This young man was outrageously bold!
The two monsters faced off for a quarter of an hour.
The cage that originally had only one large opening expanded once more to form an entrance wide enough for a person to walk through.
Then Chen Fei stepped forward and gave a fierce kick to the chest of their target. The chair with its backrest secured to the floor took the blow of his kick quite solidly.
A clear footprint in size 42 shoes marked the front of the restraint jacket, complete with a brand!
See, I’ve got quite the temper.
"Hey! Don’t do anything crazy!"
The officer, who had been nervously watching Chen Fei the whole time, almost jumped up, uncertain about the outcome of their battle of wills.
He was just worried that Chen Fei’s mind had been eroded, that he might attack them like the geese, cows, horses, and wolves did. That’d be terrible, as this Mobile Base Vehicle was entirely the enemy’s home turf advantage.
Thinking this, the barrel of his railgun combat rifle once again aimed at Chen Fei as the bullet had long been loaded.
"Hehe! This guy didn’t win!"
Chen Fei sneered nonstop, but there was one thing he didn’t say out loud.
He hadn’t won either.
Both sides were equally matched, causing harm to each other.
The net cage returned to its original state.
"Don’t, please don’t make any unnecessary moves, really!"
The officer shook his head repeatedly; he couldn’t take the strain of witnessing such dangerous scenes a few more times.
However, it seemed that even without the protection of the protective forehead artifact for his spirit, Chen Fei did not seem to be too greatly affected, his resistance to psychic abilities as formidable as described in his personal profile.
Still, the officer was a bit wary, so he asked the S-class psychic ability user who was sitting cross-legged next to the net cage.
"Mr. Ye, is everything alright?"
Mr. Ye replied helplessly, "It’s fine!"
He turned a blind eye the entire time, pretending not to see as Chen Fei force-fed the target Divine Song and even kicked him squarely in the chest.
The footprint emblazoned on the chest was quite eyecatching.
Yet the target showed a slight tremor in his body more than before, which Mr. Ye found somewhat surprising—apparently, the Divine Song seemed to have some effect.
One thing was for certain: the prisoner being escorted could not shut down their own senses; otherwise, without the protection of the protective forehead artifact, Chen Fei, who dared to provoke, would probably not have come out unscathed so easily.
Upon arrival at the destination, should they arrange a solitary music room to continuously play those soul-tearing Divine Songs? (Torturous music!)
Chen Fei stomped fiercely outside the vehicle, crushing the foolish wolf that had bitten through the tire.
Here in the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, even the Wolf King received no mercy; it was better off dead.
The explosion that had burst the tire had stunned it half to death, and its brain burst on the spot, dying instantly.
After efficiently changing the spare tire and filling it with air, he began to clean up the dead horses nearby; the mountain of horse corpses blocked the mobile base vehicle’s path, and if not moved soon, other large animals might come to cause a jam.
In the end, the officer dispatched six soldiers to help Chen Fei clear the path in front of the vehicle.
Chen Fei’s strength had reached an impressive level; he could drag a dead horse weighing around 300 kilograms single-handedly and with a forceful exhalation and shout, he flung them to the side, quickly clearing a large space in front of the vehicle. It wouldn’t take long to clear the hundred or so horse carcasses piled up in front.
The six soldiers had to work together to drag one horse corpse, each bearing about fifty kilograms of weight.

In the bitter cold, their feet continually slipped, and a careless misstep could send them sprawling in a messy, blood-splattered fall, which was quite unsightly.
But the soldiers had no real complaints, calling out in cadence "one, two, three," following Chen Fei’s lead as they cleared out a barely passable road from the multitude of corpses.
As for the mobile base vehicle, splattered with blood as if it had just run over a zombie horde, beyond ensuring the windshield in front of the vehicle was clean and clear, Chen Fei had no way to deal with the rest.
The large size of the vehicle made cleaning it a troublesome matter.
Seeing the six soldiers who had come down to help return to the vehicle exhausted and blood-stained, the frowning officer asked, "Can we shower on the vehicle?"
He had also seen a washing machine and dryer; the vehicle was just too thoughtful, the facilities unexpectedly complete.
"Yes, you can use either of the two bathrooms."
Except for his hands, Chen Fei returned rather clean, washing his hands under the kitchen faucet before heading to the driver’s seat.
"Everyone, brace yourselves and buckle up, we need to hurry."
He immediately took over driving the entire mobile base vehicle.
Adam’s adaptability was higher than the derivatives of "Cybertrom," but still couldn’t match the quick reaction ability of humans.
"My god, there’s a bathtub!!!"
A soldier’s exclamation echoed from one of the bathrooms inside the vehicle, having never seen such an extravagantly equipped motorhome before.
The vehicle’s 4.5-meter width made placing a bathtub inside incredibly easy.
"Adam, activate infrared thermal imaging to differentiate heat sources, we need to avoid those animals!"
Chen Fei gently pressed the accelerator, and the vehicle’s speed increased, naturally, the ensuing jolts were inevitable.
After having already been hit by the herd of horses and cows, he had no intention of experiencing it a second time.
The mobile base vehicle’s sole two drones were destroyed one after the other by geese and were irreparable for the time being, significantly reducing the scouting radius. To prevent attracting the herds again, the best method was to avoid them beforehand.
Using the harsh climate conditions to his advantage, Chen Fei came up with a relatively reliable method.
The warmth released by animals in a frozen landscape stood out like a bonfire in the dark night, as infrared imaging could easily detect distant heat emissions. Using radar to pinpoint and gauge distances, calculating both parties’ directions and speeds, a safe route could be completely mapped out.
No matter how fast the horses ran, the mobile base vehicle could preemptively react and leave any controlled animal far behind.
There was no way to avoid the birds in the sky, but the vehicle’s armor was sufficient to disregard them.
The impact of the birds was not as sharp as the fangs of wild wolves and would hardly damage the tires. At worst, it would require spending some energy points to replace all the load-bearing rims with full-metal flexible tires.
Having to detour and accelerate meant he couldn’t guarantee a smooth ride. Everyone got quite shaken up since the plain was not a paved road; there were ups and downs, potholes, which were all unavoidable. A careless move might even result in splashing into puddles, making the experience even more thrilling, with hearts nearly jumping out of throats.
