Yang Dian received a call from Kate and asked in confusion, "Mr. Kate, are you looking for us?"
Kate sounded anxious. "A robber stole the research results of the research institute, including the antidote to the Death Virus. If we can't get it back, our research results will be gone. The army won't be able to arrive in time, so we can only rely on you!"
The two's faces turned serious. "We will definitely help."
"Great, we can only rely on you. I'll send you the coordinates right away. The enemy is a man in a black mechanical suit!"
Black mechanical suit?
Yang Dian and Ned's expressions changed.
"Could it be him?!"
…
Running on the streets in a mechanical suit was too eye-catching. As soon as he left the research institute, he climbed to the roof of a nearby building and escaped from there. Even if someone saw him, the impact would be much smaller. He planned to find a secluded corner to take off the mechanical suit and change his appearance.
"So many potions. It's enough for me to drink like water every day." Han Xiao chuckled.
After turning a few streets, Han Xiao jumped into a deserted alley. At this time, the radar showed that two strong life targets were tracking him. Searching through the database automatically, he found matches. They were the two superheroes that he had seen twice before.
"They're tracking me?" Han Xiao thought about it and knew that they were tricked by Louis Research Institution again.
At this time, a notification popped up on the interface.
You have triggered the mission [Trial of a Hero].
Mission Introduction: There is no lack of righteous heroes, but there is a lack of correct methods. Some people have fallen into depravity, some people have abandoned their original intentions, some people have lost their principles, and some people have been taken advantage of by others. Choosing righteousness is a difficult path, and you can become their trial.
Mission Requirements: Defeat Yang Dian and Ned and expose the truth of Louis Research Institution.
Reward: Random
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
He was interested in this mission. It felt like being a demon king.
Han Xiao analyzed the data.
"I have a few minutes to waste. I'll play with them."
Han Xiao stopped and waited. Very soon, Yang Dian and Ned's figures flashed past the entrance of the alley. After a few seconds, the two of them hurriedly turned around and stood at the entrance of the alley to confront him.
"It really is you!" Yang Dian's expression was solemn. He had seen the combat strength of this mysterious mecha warrior with his own eyes. Even if he had been at his peak, he would have been knocked down with just a few punches. Moreover, he was still injured. However, when he remembered that Han Xiao had stolen the antidote to the Death Virus, Yang Dian mustered up his courage. Even if he could not win, he would not back down.
Ned rubbed his hands, ready to attack. "Even if you saved us, we can't let you take away the antidote."
Antidote? It was a typical case of being betrayed and still giving money to the number of people.
Ned was the first to strike. He slapped his hands forward, and a shockwave swept across the alley. The walls were peeled off, and cracks appeared on the ground.
Han Xiao suddenly jumped up, drawing a rapid arc in the air, and crashed over like a cannonball.
Yang Dian gritted his teeth and swung his fist forward.
Bang!
The fist wrapped in the mecha was like a flash of black lightning. Before Yang Dian could swing his fist, it struck Yang Dian in the chest. Yang Dian's vision blurred, and the scenery in his field of vision receded rapidly. He flew backward and was embedded into the wall with a loud bang. All the bones in his body were almost shattered from the impact.
He was insta-killed in one hit.
"His stamina is even more terrifying than the lion that injured me." Yang Dian struggled to break free from the wall and panted heavily. Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind. Ned was also thrown over and fell beside his feet. There was a huge bump on his head. He was knocked dizzy by Han Xiao's light headbutt.
He could not even last three seconds. He could not fight back at all. Yang Dian was filled with grief and anger. How could he stop the enemy like this?
A sense of helplessness pierced through their hearts.
Han Xiao saw that the two gritted their teeth and were about to stand up. He looked at the timer in the corner of the holographic screen. He had given himself five minutes to deal with these two superheroes, but the situation was simpler than he had imagined. He had defeated the two in less than ten seconds.
These two were Supers above LV 30. With his current strength, he was basically unparalleled.
He took a few steps forward. Just as he was about to say something, Yang Dian struggled to stand up. With an unyielding and angry expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "You took away the antidote to the Death Virus. Many people will die. Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will stop you!"
Han Xiao stomped his feet and said with a smile that did not look like a smile, "Dying as a hero. Other than withered flowers, empty praise, and a few fake tears, what else can you get?"
Yang Dian gritted his teeth. "No matter what others think of me, as long as I am satisfied!"
Suddenly, Yang Dian's vision blurred. A large black hand expanded in his field of vision, grabbed his head, and smashed him into the wall. Debris flew everywhere.
His head was bleeding. Yang Dian fell to the ground. His vision spun, and he did not even have the strength to stand up.
Han Xiao took out his pistol and pointed it at Yang Dian's forehead.
The black muzzle made Yang Dian shiver. He barely regained consciousness. He wanted to struggle, but Han Xiao stepped on his legs and slowly pulled the trigger.
Yang Dian's eyes widened. At this moment, regret rushed into his mind uncontrollably.
If I had not been so meddlesome, I would not have died today. Even if I gave it my all, I would not have been able to stop such a strong enemy. Coming here would only be suicide. I should not have agreed to your request. I was too impulsive …
Ka! The trigger stopped. Yang Dian's body shook, but he did not feel any pain. He looked at Han Xiao in shock as he backed away. Only then did he feel cold sweat drenching his clothes. Although he could not see his own face, it was definitely a twisted expression filled with fear, regret, and unwillingness.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Han Xiao asked.
Yang Dian was stunned and fell silent. At the moment of death, the belief that he thought was indestructible was shaken. He was not as generous and tough as he said. At that moment, he felt regret. He even thought that agreeing to someone's request and dying was an extremely stupid thing to do. Before this, he had been working hard with the goal of becoming a superhero. He wanted to save more people, protect more civilians, and sacrifice himself for others.
However, at this moment, Yang Dian only felt lost.
Han Xiao put the unloaded pistol back into the holster, took out his computer, put some information into the USB flash drive, unplugged it, and threw it to Yang Dian. He then turned around and disappeared in front of the two.
Yang Dian and Ned were both stunned.
The enemy left just like that?
"Why didn't he kill us?" Yang Dian held the USB flash drive in confusion.
"We are not his match. Don't go looking for death. Let's leave this place first." Ned supported Yang Dian as the two limped away from the scene.
…
Another mission failure. The two were filled with shame. They did not have the face to see Kate. When they arrived at the entrance of Louis Research Institution, the army had already arrived and sealed off the place. The two did not want to interact with the Maple army, so they could only return to their resting place and bandage their wounds.
Yang Dian had been thinking about Han Xiao's words the whole time. His mind was in a mess, and he lay on the bed in a daze. The thoughts from before kept flashing through his mind. He could feel that his concept of being a superhero was collapsing.
