Only when Viper Modified is worn by him does he truly become the "Black Phantom"!
The sudden change threw the unit into brief chaos. Han Xiao seized the fleeting opportunity, jumped into the vehicle, Hila floored the accelerator. The armored off-road vehicle, like a runaway bull, charged wildly towards the distance to break through the encirclement.
The Germinal troops, mindful of their orders, dared not delay and hurriedly gave chase. Han Xiao, having already equipped himself with long-range weapons, fired and drove back the pursuers.
He destroyed most of the vehicles, leaving very few pursuing troops behind; the rest were all left behind.
With a clear road ahead, Hila, though exhausted, was invigorated after breaking through the encirclement.
"We escaped!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao sensed something was wrong.
Sure enough, no sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of rotors rapidly approached (http://www. hetushu. com. com), and three Black Harrier Helicopter flew in a triangular formation from afar.
"This is Germinal rapid reaction force!" Hila's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, it's only three armed helicopters with limited firepower. Once they get close, my abilities can ignore their armor and directly kill the pilots inside!"
Buzz--
Han Xiao's mecha's built-in radar suddenly sounded an alarm, detecting five individuals with extremely strong life signals on the three aircraft. According to the database, they were all superhumans above level 50, all Germinal high-end combat forces. These three helicopters were transport vehicles for troops, and being entangled by superhumans of the same level, they would have no chance of escaping smoothly. He immediately felt frustrated by his failed attempt.
"You're toxic! Shut the hell up, you want to die already?!" Han Xiao yelled at Hila, then without another word, he took off the Ghost Gauss Sniping Rifle from his back, unfolded it from its folded state, and fired at the cockpit of the first helicopter.
The bullet, crackling with blue electricity, leaped from the muzzle, leaving a blue trail as it streaked across the sky like a long, straight bolt of lightning!
However, the electromagnetic kinetic energy Sniping rifle, which had always been invincible, failed this time!
The bullet, crackling with electricity, abruptly stopped at the helicopter window, as if a giant hand in the air had grabbed it, and an invisible force field distorted the air.
"A force field type ability user, at least level 55 or higher!" Han Xiao's heart sank, realizing something was wrong.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman in combat uniform emerged from a helicopter. Han Xiao's zoomed-in view clearly showed the woman's face. She had an ordinary appearance, a hideous scar splitting her lips, and her short hair fluttered in the wind. She stretched out her hand, aiming at the armored vehicle that had just broken through the encirclement.
Han Xiao suddenly felt the car vibrate strangely.
No, it's the ground that's shaking!
The ground within a few dozen meters rippled like ocean waves. Ahead, a protruding rocky slope suddenly rose up. The armored vehicle couldn't avoid it and drove up it. The slope became narrower and narrower until the entire vehicle shuddered, its chassis being pushed up by the protruding rocky slope, leaving it suspended more than twenty meters above the ground. The wheels spun in the air, and it came to a stop. The inertia almost threw the two people inside the vehicle out.
At the same time, the helicopter flew close to the ground and fired several ship-borne rockets at the armored vehicles that could not evade it.
Han Xiao and Hila quickly abandoned the car and ran away.
Boom!
The armored vehicles and rocky slopes were blown into burning fireballs, with rocks and metal fragments flying everywhere.
Five people jumped out of the helicopter. They were five veteran executives who rushed towards the two men. They looked different, but they all had one thing in common: an imposing aura.
To avoid the explosion, the two had fallen to the ground. Hila's eardrums were still throbbing. She struggled to her feet, looked at the five executives, and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's them! Veteran executives from the organization, hidden high-level combat power. The organization wouldn't send them out unless it's a crucial mission. Five of them at once... we're in trouble. Two are ability users, [Spirit Shield] Jeroz controls force fields, [Hand of Earth] Inris manipulates soil; three are martial artists, namely..."
"Instead of wasting time talking nonsense, you should run faster!"
Before Hila could finish speaking, Han Xiao took off running, firing at the five people as he moved. All the bullets were blocked by the executor who controlled the force field, and the flattened bullets fell to the ground.
Hila followed behind, but even with her long legs, she couldn't keep up with Han Xiao's skateboard shoes. Han Xiao couldn't let her fall behind, so he freed one hand to hold Hila's hand and carried her at breakneck speed.
This reduced his firepower considerably, but even ordinary sweeping attacks couldn't break through Jeroz's force field. They could only slightly slow down the five pursuers and buy them time—which was exactly what Han Xiao needed.
"We still have backup troops. Let's stall for time and wait for their reinforcements!" Han Xiao said in a deep voice.
Although buying time would allow enemy reinforcements to arrive, the two of them, without a vehicle, would find it difficult to shake off their pursuers. This was the only way they could hope to win, with a 50/50 chance of success.
Hila unleashed a dark red arc of energy in her backhand, then suddenly coughed. She was in very poor condition; if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Han Xiao would definitely have teased her, saying she was "overworking her kidneys."
"Abandon me." Hila suddenly spoke, her face expressionless, her tone indifferent to life and death. "You have a combat suit, and your speed is no slower than a vehicle. You can escape on your own. I'm just a burden to you now."
Han Xiao frowned, sensing something, and shouted, "I'm warning you, don't even think about sacrificing yourself for others. How long can you stall? Ten seconds? Twenty seconds? What good will it do! If you dare to shake off my hand and stay to fight, don't blame me for not taking care of your sister after you die!"
"You!" Hila was furious. Just a moment ago, she had indeed considered letting go and staying to buy time for Han Xiao. However, Han Xiao's answer struck her weak spot. She was doing this for her sister, yet Han Xiao was using her sister to threaten her. Even with Hila's strong will, who was willing to sacrifice herself without hesitation, she couldn't help but feel wronged. She shouted, "Don't you understand the situation? If you abandon me, your chances of escaping are over seventy percent. I'm giving you time; what are you dissatisfied with!"
"I don't need your teaching. Let me tell you, you're not that precious. If it really came to that, I would abandon you without hesitation and run away. So now shut your mouth! I don't need you to do me a favor!" Han Xiao said without turning his head.
Hila was taken aback, gave Han Xiao a deep look at the back of his head, and stopped talking, letting Han Xiao pull her along, occasionally unleashing dark red shockwaves behind her.
The five veteran executives were faster than them, and although they managed to delay for three minutes, they were still caught up. Since there was no way to avoid it, Han Xiao turned around to meet the enemy. His Magnetic Chain Split Blade moved like butterflies, his electrothermal cutting gauntlets were scorching hot, and his Gauss Sniping rifle fired intermittently, unleashing full firepower!
This fierce battle took place in the wilderness. The superhumans' abilities instantly destroyed the terrain. Jeroz's force field was like a series of invisible cannonballs, leaving behind large craters and providing defense for his teammates, rendering Han Xiao's attacks ineffective multiple times. Inris manipulated the earth, causing wildly dancing earth dragons to rise from the ground, swimming and charging, and constantly cracking open large craters, repeatedly disrupting Han Xiao's balance. The three martial artists' punches and kicks contained immense power, burning with surging flames, and the thick, dense energy waves posed a great threat.
Hila mustered her strength and cooperated with Han Xiao in the battle. Her special ability was a rare mental attack. Although her physical strength was not high, her strange ability made the five veteran executives wary. As an assistant, she also had rich combat experience and worked very well with Han Xiao, which reduced the pressure.
None of these five people are Mechanic Class. Among the high-level experts Han Xiao has encountered so far, Mechanic Class are the fewest. This shows how weak the average combat power of Mechanic Class is in the early stages. Therefore, in the eyes of others, he is basically the most powerful mechanic on this planet.
However, facing five powerful individuals who were close to or had already reached level sixty, Han Xiao found it difficult. These five individuals cooperated seamlessly and complemented each other's abilities, making them extremely troublesome. He could barely maintain the situation, let alone kill any enemies. Jeroz's force field ability made Han Xiao feel disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly, and he was entangled and dragged here.
During a lull in the fierce battle, Han Xiao saw the Germinal unit, which had been left behind, gradually approaching, while more Black Harrier Helicopter were flying in from the horizon.
It was as if a huge net had descended from all directions!
Enemy reinforcements have arrived!
