The interface showed that Hannes was also LV 60. Han Xiao felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. Two people who had reached the peak of Version 1.0 appeared at the same time, so something big must have happened. He might even be able to trigger a hidden quest. Furthermore, the names of these two people were very familiar, but he could not recall them immediately.
In fact, Han Xiao did not want to cause any more trouble. He only wanted to complete the mission given to him by Bennett properly. However, he was dragged into this by accident, and it was not his style to not fight back.
Han Xiao dragged the battle into melee range. Although Vernina was a Cannon Master, her [Agent] subclass level was very high, and she also had melee abilities. The two of them exchanged blows, and Han Xiao had the upper hand with his strength. He never went easy on his opponent because of their identity, age, or gender. Vernina suffered quite a bit.
The two of them were far stronger than normal people, and their strength was enough to break bricks and penetrate iron plates. The environment was destroyed, and the streets were full of potholes. There was even an overturned car that Han Xiao kicked into a tree. The surroundings were a mess. Dorasi retreated to the side. Because of the presence of the sniper, he did not dare to take the opportunity to escape. He watched the two Supers fight in shock.
Dorasi was very confused. Why did he not know that there was such a powerful Super hidden among his guards? Was it a secret arrangement by the Special Task Force? A Super of this level was more than enough to protect the highest leader. How could he be treated better than the highest leader?
However, now, Dorasi could only hope that this hidden Super would defeat the attacker. He was very nervous.
Han Xiao was like a gangrene attached to the bone, and Vernina could not pull away at all. The passing time made her very anxious.
"This Special Task Force is ridiculously strong. Maple's backup will be here soon. I'm being held back. Hannes, help me quickly!"
"He's too close to you," Hannes said. "He's very fast. There's a fifty percent chance of hitting you."
Vernina was troubled. This mission should have been a success, but Han Xiao had messed up the entire plan. The intelligence clearly showed that Dorasi's guards were all normal people, but where did this person come from?
Hannes immediately made a decision. "Retreat!"
However, at this time, sirens sounded, and police cars and special forces vehicles flew in from the distance. The sound of rotors sounded in the sky, and two helicopters circled in the sky, surrounding the two people fighting in the field.
Maple's reinforcements arrived at the scene. It had only been three to four minutes since Dorasi was attacked. They lived up to their name.
Vernina gritted her teeth and took two punches with her back. She used the force of the punches to run and crashed into the encirclement. The people of Red Maple opened fire, and the dense gunfire formed a barrage of bullets.
Dodging left and right, she was amazingly agile. She found a safe route in the dense barrage of bullets. Occasionally, stray bullets would hit her, but they could only cause single-digit damage. Ordinary people using ordinary guns were almost no threat to people of her level.
Seeing that Vernina was about to break out of the encirclement, Han Xiao grabbed a heavy sniper rifle from a SWAT soldier, activated [Flaming Will], and shot Vernina's shoulder.
Blood spurted out.
She staggered, then accelerated and disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind a trail of blood on the ground.
Part of the troops chased after her.
Han Xiao threw away his gun and let out a sigh of relief. As the saying went, don't chase a cornered enemy. Don't chase a cornered enemy. There was no benefit in chasing them. It was enough to injure them, but they couldn't kill them.
In the eyes of the people of Red Maple, I'm one of them now. But if I run away recklessly, I might be caught too. Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He stayed at the scene, waiting for the shocked police to stop paying attention to him. Then, he would find a chance to escape.
More troops arrived and cleaned up the scene. Dorasi was surrounded, and a doctor checked if he was injured.
From the conversation with the police, Han Xiao learned that Vernina and Hannes had both escaped, which was within his expectations.
Just as he was resting beside the car, a senior officer walked up to him and said with a deep voice, "I'm Lieutenant Colonel Danny. You did well to protect Mr. Dorasi's safety and didn't let the kidnappers succeed."
Han Xiao continued his act and pretended to be calm. "It's my duty."
Lieutenant Colonel Danny looked at the bumpy streets, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He said, "Angston, you joined the army eleven years ago. Two years later, you were selected as a special forces soldier and trained for three years. You carried out two military operations before you were expelled from the special forces due to disciplinary issues and transferred to the Special Task Force to protect officers. Your resume is very ordinary, and you have never displayed the strength of a superhuman."
Han Xiao shrugged. "People always change."
Lieutenant Colonel Danny frowned. This was a very serious matter. This Angston had been hiding his strength, and his intentions were suspicious. He had to be thoroughly investigated, but now was not a good time.
At this time, Dorasi approached and praised, "Well done. You saved me. I'll inform your leader and reward you."
With the strength that Han Xiao had shown, Dorasi knew that he had to lower his status. Such a strong Super was not like other ordinary soldiers who could be ordered around.
Han Xiao sized Dorasi up and thought, What secret does this old official have to be targeted by two LV 60 people?
"What is the identity of the attacker?" After expressing his gratitude, Dorasi looked at Lieutenant Colonel Danny with a serious expression.
"The Intelligence Division is investigating … Oh, they found it." Lieutenant Colonel Danny took the computer from his deputy, looked at it, and was stunned.
"Vernina, former Raylan agent, retired. She was active in the battlefield of the old era and was one of the shining legends of that era. She carried out hundreds of high-risk missions, including protection, assassination, infiltration, overthrowing the government, and so on. She has disappeared for decades and has reappeared today. Her threat level is the highest."
Han Xiaoxin thought. If it was related to a legendary figure of the old era, it would more or less be related to Bennett.
"Ah, I remember now." Han Xiao suddenly remembered where Vernina and Hannes had appeared.
The players had come into contact with these two names around the middle of Version 1.0, and the way they appeared was more like an easter egg.
In the biggest shelter that Bennett had been in in his previous life, there was a small hill with three tombstones. Two of the tombstones were carved with the names of these two people. That's right, when the players came into contact with them, they were already dead.
Bennett would occasionally stop in front of the three tombstones. If asked, Bennett would sigh and say that his friends and comrades were buried there, and they were all respectable people.
From Bennett's words, the players knew that these three people were Bennett's old friends. They did not know anything else. Some players tried to trigger the mission but did not get anything. It seemed to be an easter egg.
However, the two people on the tombstones were still alive. Han Xiao felt that there was definitely a hidden storyline.
Why would two LV 60 people from Bennett's generation want to deal with a Maple official?
In the original storyline, why did they die? Who killed them?
Lieutenant Colonel Danny suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Xiao. His eyes were filled with shock.
This unknown guy had actually beaten back a legend of an era. He was even stronger than he had imagined!
The Special Task Force was hiding such a terrifying person, and the military did not notice!
I must investigate this thoroughly. Lieutenant Colonel Danny was in a serious mood.
With this in mind, Lieutenant Colonel Danny ordered the people to clean up the battlefield. However, in the blink of an eye, Han Xiao disappeared right under his nose.
While the people around him were cleaning up the battlefield and were distracted, he quietly activated the [Night Stalker] ability, walked to the side, and decisively changed his face and slipped away. His level was much higher than the people present. Once he entered stealth mode, he was almost undetectable. Of course, if he wandered around in front of others, he would still be seen.
After Lieutenant Colonel Danny realized this, he quickly asked the people around him. No one saw how Angus left. He was stunned. In that moment of distraction, Angus was gone!
He ordered people to search nearby, but naturally, they found nothing.
Lieutenant Colonel Danny was not confused for long. Someone found the real Angus lying in the garden of Dorasi's mansion. Only then did he know that this "Angus" was a fake. This method was used by the mysterious person who had sneaked into the mansions of other officials!
"The identity of the attacker has been confirmed. Then who is this intruder?" Lieutenant Colonel Danny's heart was heavy. The intruder's strength was comparable to Vernina's. Which force did this monster belong to? Why did this "ace" level combat power appear in the capital tonight?!
After knowing the truth, Dorasi was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
After all this time, it turned out that the person protecting him was also an enemy who had been following him.
The two groups of enemies actually fought each other. It was like walking on the edge of hell, and in the end, he was safe and sound!
