Before Silver Knife's two companions could react, a spinning bullet was fired from the forest not far away. It accurately hit the three grenades hidden under the corpse's palm!
In such a close range explosion, the two Owl agents were instantly injured by multiple grenades, and the dazzling flames engulfed the two of them.
You have dealt 60 Explosive Damage to the enemy! x8
[You killed Agent Owl! 1500 EXP gained] x2
The grass rustled as Han Xiao stood up. He was currently in a very sorry state. Half of his body was charred black, and he only had around 50 HP left. He was still bleeding, and his stamina was almost empty. His HP was like a candle flickering in the wind, and could be extinguished at any time. His vision was dark, and exhaustion hit his nerves like a tide. He forced himself not to faint.
Han Xiao used the corpse of the Nightingale agent he killed as a meat shield to save his life from the explosion of the grenades. Enduring the pain, he covered the corpse with his own clothes and used the three newly obtained grenades to set up a trap. Then, he hurriedly hid in the bushes and held his breath like a hunter. Only Silver Saber noticed the problem and managed to escape.
Blood blurred his vision. Han Xiao was in a very bad state. His hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably, but the last enemy was in perfect condition. He immediately realized that he could not give the enemy a chance to pull away!
As soon as Yin Dao got up, a bloody black shadow rushed in front of him.
"You are seeking your own death!" Yin Dao was furious. He pulled out a dagger from his waist and ruthlessly stabbed forward.
…
The searchlights of the aircraft illuminated the forest, and the Black Harrier lowered a rope ladder. Hella followed the ladder and landed on the ground. The area under her feet was full of bullet holes and burn marks. It was obvious that there had been a fierce battle.
The test subject team that arrived first collected the scattered blood on the field. No. 1's face was livid. He clenched his fists and didn't say a word.
Hila looked at the six corpses in front of her, her face full of shock.
The Night Owl Third Squad was completely annihilated!
Zero had disappeared without a trace!
The result of the battle was simply unbelievable!
Hella was in a daze for a few minutes.
Corpses can talk. Hella squats down to observe. Two of them were killed by the explosion, one was shot to death, and the other three were killed in close combat.
Silver Knife's goggles had been shattered, and the shards had pierced into his eyeballs. He had died a miserable death. She reached out and pinched Silver Knife's body. It was soft to the touch. Most of the bones were broken, especially the pelvis and lower body. These injuries were obviously caused by a close combat expert. No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem like Zero had done it.
She was the clearest about Han Xiao's close-combat skills. He was just a little better than a normal person … No, he might not even be as strong as a normal person. Combat was not something that could be learned quickly. Every one of these special agents had trained for more than ten years, and the Owl Squad was even more elite. Even if Han Xiao had been hiding his true strength, at the very most, he had only trained for half a year. If the truth was not right in front of her eyes, Hella would not have believed it.
"Could it be that he's the same as me and has also awakened his Esper ability?"
Hella felt a little regretful. If she had paid more attention to Han Xiao, she might have found out a long time ago.
When Zero escaped, she was coincidentally not at the base. This made Hella very depressed. If she had been there, she was 100% confident that she could have taken down Zero. Was this luck, or did Zero purposely seize the opportunity?
"The Owl Squad's equipment is gone, but we found this thing."
An agent walked over with the lightweight mechanical arm. At this time, the mechanical arm was stained with blood. A dagger was stuck between the gears, piercing through the engine and breaking it.
"Bring it back."
…
A day later, a large number of members of the Germinal Organization arrived at the base. They gathered the surveillance footage that had not been lost and collected clues.
The leader of the Germinal Organization was dressed in a black trench coat, a black mask, and black gloves. His whole body was covered in black, and he looked like he had run out of the set of Detective XX. Even in the organization, there were no more than five people who knew the real face of the leader.
"Where's Zero?" The leader asked concisely.
"We lost him," Number One gritted his teeth and said, "If only I had a little more time …"
The leader suddenly raised his hand. This action contained impatience and anger, so Number One could only shut up.
The leader was very angry. A few days ago, Zero was still a useless abandoned pawn in his eyes. However, not long after, this abandoned pawn had caused him a huge loss and successfully escaped.
"A 'failed' test subject killed thirty armed guards, destroyed the experiment data, annihilated a team of elite Night Owls, and even made me lose Lin Wei Xian. In the end, he managed to escape. Am I listening to a fairy tale?"
Everyone looked at each other.
The leader said coldly, "I want to know when did Zero start to have the will to resist? Why did he have such combat power? "
The researcher hurriedly said, "We have studied the surveillance footage for half a year and have come up with some guesses."
"Speak."
"Zero's behavior changed greatly before and after the experiment. According to the report provided by the team that captured the human raw materials, Zero's original name was Xiao Han, the third son of the second leader of the Overmera family."
Everyone was shocked. The Overmera family, a famous warlord family, a partner of the Theseus Kingdom!
The human raw materials for the experiment were mostly prisoners and wilderness wanderers. How did they capture someone with such a background?!
The leader was surprised, "The son of the second leader of the Overmera? What happened? "
"According to our investigation, Xiao Han is the most ordinary son of the second leader of the Overmera. He has not awakened his strength, nor does he have outstanding leadership skills. His personality is very weak." The researcher flipped through the report. "We found Xiao Han among the corpses on the battlefield. According to our investigation, Xiao Han was following his brother Xiao Hai's team when they were escorting a batch of supplies. They were ambushed midway."
"Continue."
"At that time, Xiao Hai was the commander of the team. The target of the ambushers was not the supplies, but to kill Xiao Hai. Xiao Hai is the rising star of the Overmera family. If there are no accidents, he will inherit the position of the second leader of the Overmera. According to our informant, this ambush was the result of an internal struggle. The cause was that someone wanted to eliminate the second leader's successor. "
"Xiao Hai forced Xiao Han to change into his own clothes as bait. They ran in different directions. In the end, Xiao Han was hit by a cannon, and Xiao Hai escaped safely."
The leader frowned, "Our informant knows so much?"
"Uh, Xiao Hai did not hide the details, including the act of forcing Xiao Han. He was fearless."
"Xiao Han's death did not cause his family to be dissatisfied with Xiao Hai. The second leader of the Overmera said, 'It is enough as long as Xiao Hai is safe.' You know, the Overmera family values power. Xiao Han's position in the family is dispensable. His brothers and sisters did not seem to care about his death at all … After that, we accidentally found Xiao Han, who was not completely dead. "
The life and death of the original body was like a small wave, no one cared about it.
In the eyes of the Overmera family, exchanging an incompetent son for the survival of an excellent successor was an acceptable price. The benefits outweighed the feelings.
Han Xiao did not have these memories. When he transmigrated, the memory of the original body had been violently wiped out by the Germinal Organization.
The leader sneered, "Weakness is the original sin. Incompetent people are not worthy of pity. I want to know what happened to him now."
The researcher said, "We deduced that the Valkyrie experiment caused a mutation in Zero. The effect may be beyond our imagination. He not only gained mechanical talent, but also an extraordinary intelligence!
Zero showed no harm for half a year after the experiment, so there is a ninety percent chance that it was a disguise. Since half a year ago, he had been planning to escape! "
Hella could not help but interject, "You mean that the brainwashing did not work on him?"
"I'm afraid so."
Hella's expression was vexed.
The researcher continued, "Let me ask you, why would a human subject whose memory was wiped out suddenly have the consciousness to resist and escape? There is only one possibility, and that is that the experiment helped him regain his memory. However, according to the investigation, Zero did not have extraordinary abilities in the past. Since he is so cunning, it means that not only did he regain his memory, but he also awakened some strange personality. This is the most reasonable explanation. "
"Can you guarantee that?" The leader's tone was cold.
"No …" The researcher's mouth was bitter. Who knew what was going on with Zero? This was just the most reasonable guess.
No. 1 could not help but say, "Could it be because of luck …"
The leader stared at him as if he was looking at a fool. If you can replicate Zero's results with luck, I'll let you sit in the leader's seat.
"By the way, the guards brought back the exoskeleton mechanical arm used by Zero." The researcher took out the report and exclaimed, "Although the technology is very crude, it is very innovative. It is estimated that most of Zero's combat strength came from this machine. The weapons development department is happy to imitate and improve it. Of course, this will require a lot of money, and the weapons department is requesting for funding."
Finally, there was good news, and the leader's mood was slightly better. "Money is not a problem as long as they can give us the finished product."
The researcher nodded and returned to the original topic. "No matter the reason, Zero has endured for half a year. Coupled with the mechanical talent and combat strength he has displayed, he is undoubtedly a meticulous and extremely dangerous person."
Everyone's heart trembled.
"Zero is a special example of an experiment with high research value. If we can obtain his body, even if it is dead, we can further improve the experiment data."
When sorting out the previous surveillance videos, Zero's half a year of disguise and such patience made everyone shudder. All the researchers felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, but at the same time, every researcher had a fanatical desire to study Han Xiao!
No. 1 noticed the yearning in the researcher's eyes, and his face suddenly became hazy.
What he could not tolerate the most was losing to Zero.
When he was born, No. 1 knew that he was the second test subject, and there was someone else whose code name was before him.
Therefore, he had always regarded Han Xiao as an imaginary enemy. When he thought that he had finally stepped on Han Xiao, reality gave him a slap in the face.
The leader suddenly remembered something. "By the way, before we find out the hidden dangers of the valkyrie potion, stop all experiments and brainwash all the existing test subjects. I don't want to give birth to another Zero."
No. 1's eyes were full of anger. He felt that his loyalty had been insulted. He shouted, "I am willing to lead the team to hunt down Zero!"
The leader looked at him. He had high hopes for the test subject team. He slowly said, "Can you do it?"
"I promise to complete the mission!" No. 1 felt the leader's attention, and his fighting spirit was high. He loudly made a military promise.
