Bang bang bang--
The large-caliber Wild Eagle spewed scorching gunfire, shattering cameras along the way. Han Xiao silently calculated that thirty-eight seconds had passed since the alarm sounded. They were moving extremely fast and had already deviated from their original route. The enemy should be appearing soon.
With the current team composition, there are two burdens and two capable fighters. It would be too difficult to charge out recklessly. Han Xiao himself is fine, but protecting others is a real pain. In his previous life, Han Xiao didn't like the task of protecting others because there was little room for maneuver, and if he acted recklessly, he would definitely be doomed.
Han Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Cerberus with ill intent.
With Hila, what's the point of having this old man? He's just an optional extra. It's good that we don't go through the underground tunnel, so Cerberus is useless to us.
Cerberus shuddered. "You... you mustn't do anything rash, you need my permission..."
"He's been exposed. His access has been frozen; he's useless now." Hila's expression was icy. Cerberus was a high-ranking official in charge of her sister's experiments, and her hatred for him ran deep. She raised her hand to kill Cerberus.
Just then, a large hand grabbed her wrist, and Han Xiao shook his head at her.
"Don't kill him, he's still useful alive." With that, he slapped Cerberus unconscious. Han Xiao had misled him so much, it would be good for him to mislead the leader as well.
Hila shook off Han Xiao's hand, glared at him hatefully, but did not insist on killing Cerberus.
Han Xiao didn't take it seriously and asked, "What's your plan?"
Hila hadn't quite adjusted to Zero being her teammate yet, and after a moment of silence, she replied, "I know a hidden passage that can lead to headquarters, but it's very far, four floors below us. To get there, we'd have to break through the headquarters' blockade."
"Four floors down..." Han Xiao recalled the map. It would take at least five minutes to walk down four floors from here, even if the path was clear. Besides, the enemy wouldn't let them run around freely.
Is your secret passage reliable?
"That was originally an abandoned secret passage, which I discovered by chance; it's very well hidden."
Hila's words were concise, but she did not specify the exact location.
In reality, she concealed the truth. This secret passage was her backup plan, which, although controlled by Germinal, had never given up hope of rescuing Aurora one day. However, she had been unable to take Aurora away from the cage, so she had not taken any action. Unexpectedly, the most difficult step had been completed by Han Xiao, and this secret passage could now be put to use. Hila couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
This turn of events was sudden; she never expected anyone to save her sister.
Hila glanced at Han Xiao meaningfully, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Actually, there was a safer way, with an 80% chance of taking her sister away, but it would put Han Xiao in danger. She felt that Han Xiao would most likely not agree, so she didn't say it aloud, but secretly planned it in her heart.
Just then, footsteps sounded around the corner ahead, and a squad of Germinal soldiers appeared to intercept them.
Hila raised one hand to strike, but Han Xiao preemptively fired his two guns, the large-caliber bullets exploding through the chests of the soldiers, blood and bone fragments flying everywhere. An ordinary soldier hit by his bullet was like being hit by a grenade.
Killing a group of minions didn't increase the trial points for the advanced mission on the panel. Only sufficiently strong enemies give trial points, but with these minions coming, the real challenge isn't far behind.
As expected, powerful auras soon entered his perception range and rapidly approached.
"Don't do anything, protect your sister, I'll handle the enemy," Han Xiao said.
Hila frowned, her expression uneasy. "Are you sure you can handle it? There are some executives I'm not even confident I can beat..."
"Shut up and watch. If you hadn't made a move, I would have run away long ago." Han Xiao wasn't in the mood to explain to her.
Hila's expression froze; realizing she was in the wrong, she silently led the way.
The leader was on his way. All the security cameras had been destroyed, and the surveillance footage was going black one by one. He could only learn about the situation through reports in his earpiece.
"The executive officers, super soldiers, and the Inhuman squad are closing in, and Hila is keeping Zero occupied. There's no way he can escape," the leader thought to himself.
At that moment, an executive's voice came through the earpiece, chilling with murderous intent. "Target encountered, I'm in!"
The leader's spirits lifted, and he shouted, "No need to capture him alive, just kill him!"
However, the next moment, a high-frequency noise erupted from the headphones, causing a sharp pain in the leader's eardrums.
A scream rang out in the earpiece; it was the same officer who had just reported the battle situation.
The leader was shocked. Less than ten seconds had passed, and the executive officer's strength was no less than Pan Kuang's. What unexpected event had occurred?!
A bad feeling rose in his heart.
Rewind eight seconds.
A burly male executive ran out from around the corner, charging towards Han Xiao with a ferocious expression, his footsteps pounding the ground, his combat uniform nearly bursting from his bulging muscles.
"Be careful, he's an Executor, a power-enhancing ability, you..." Hila hurriedly warned, a dark red aura gathering in her hand, ready to support Han Xiao should he be overwhelmed.
Before he could finish speaking, Han Xiao made his move, throwing two Sonic Boom Grenade with a flick of his wrist. The high-frequency noise startled the male executive, causing him to pause. Han Xiao only needed that instant. The Small Maneuvering Device on his waist spewed power, and his Electromagnetic Hover Boots flashed with blue light as he approached the enemy like a ghost.
[Overload]! [Mechanical Force Surge]! [Lethal Critical Hit]! Various power-enhancing active skills are activated one after another, and even without [Willpower Burning], the power is terrifying.
With a flick of his wrists, the Electrothermal Cutting Gloves emitted a blinding blue light, pressing against the male executive's chest. The Magnetic Chain Split Blade, like lotus flowers blooming behind him, guided by his gestures and strength, pierced into the enemy's body from various vital points.
Combo attack, Scorching Lotus Slash!
This is the fighting style of the Mech Warrior (https://www. hetushu. com. com). It involves combining different melee machines to create your own skills. The names are, of course, random, but having names makes all the difference. According to unofficial theory, named moves are more likely to land critical hits, and the chance of a critical hit is even higher if you shout it out. If you add melodramatic lines like "My fist is a weight this starry sky cannot bear" or "Awaken, the power sealed within me," then a critical hit is guaranteed!
The shocking damage numbers popped up one after another. The male executive screamed in agony as he fought back desperately, landing several punches on Han Xiao's Magnetically Controlled Armor.
Han Xiao channeled his strength into his arms, his palms burning through the enemy's chest. The suspended blades gleamed coldly, slicing open the opponent's throat in succession. The burly executive's health bar was emptied rapidly, like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar crumbling.
"A level 44 ability user, with a strength of 120 points, wow, not bad, but unfortunately, his health is only average."
Han Xiao glanced at the panel; even without Viper Mod, he could quickly deal with enemies using this technique.
Although he wasn't particularly strong in the early stages, he had many Mechanic Class, a high level, good equipment, and maxed-out skills. Even within the same level, there are different combat power standards, such as simple distinctions like ordinary monsters and elite monsters. Han Xiao's strength was at the BOSS Grade SS within level 60, so the gap between him and lower-level characters was naturally even greater.
[You have gained 1 trial point]
[[Limit Trial]: Current progress 1/2000]
"Only 1 point for level 40+?!" Han Xiao's lips twitched. He didn't even know if Germinal had two thousand executives of this level; it would be embarrassing if they weren't enough to kill...
On the other side, Hila stiffly lowered her hand. Before she could even finish speaking, the executive was instantly killed, making her help completely unnecessary.
Hila was in turmoil; she herself wasn't confident that she could defeat the enemy so quickly.
How can Zero be so strong? Is this a fake?!
At the same time, the leader was also shocked by this problem, realizing that he had underestimated Han Xiao's strength.
Even a small mistake can affect the entire plan. Fortunately, after many failures, the leader knew that Zero could not be judged by common sense. He overestimated Zero's abilities as much as possible and laid a large number of people in ambush. Now it seems that not only was it not wasted, but it may not even be enough!
Since his men couldn't defeat him, he would have to deal with Zero himself.
"Stop him! Wait for me!"
The leader's tone was chilling.
In just one year, Zero's strength could not possibly compare to his.
He's a figure at the pinnacle of Planet Aquamarine!
If Han Xiao knew what the leader was thinking, he would definitely chuckle.
--What a coincidence, me too.
