Han Xiao raised the phone further away from his ear and used his pinky to pick at his ear. "Lower your voice," he said unhappily.
Bennett said angrily, "Why didn't you discuss this with me? You can represent the Dark Net's position. If we participate in the war, we will lose our neutrality. The implications behind this …"
Han Xiao covered the receiver and glanced around at the mercenaries who were eavesdropping. The transport aircraft was the type that faced each other, so he could see everyone with a single glance. His eyes flashed with warning, and the mercenaries were stunned. They did not know how they had offended this big shot.
Qin Yuan was the first to react. He immediately took out his earplugs and put them in his ears. The others also realized and quickly followed suit.
Only then did Han Xiao let go of the receiver. Bennett's nonsense finally came to an end. He did not hear most of the middle part, so he pretended that nothing had happened. He casually nodded, indicating that he had been listening the whole time.
"… So, don't get involved in this. The Germinal Organization will definitely lose. No matter what grudges you have with them, there is no need to do it yourself," Bennett said.
"This is a private matter."
"Nonsense, how can I do business?" Bennett said angrily.
Han Xiao clicked his tongue. "The Germinal Organization can't even take care of itself. It's better to beat them when they are down. At this juncture, it doesn't matter if we are neutral or not. So, don't worry."
"… So, you didn't hear my analysis at all!" Bennett was shocked.
Tsk, discovered. Han Xiao shook the phone violently and shouted, "Hey, hey … I am on the plane, the signal is not good …"
"Don't pretend with me …"
Beep, Han Xiao hung up the phone.
If he did that, Bennett would definitely be unhappy. Han Xiao felt a little sorry.
However, he would not stop doing it just because Bennett was unhappy. External factors were not the criteria to decide his actions. He only followed his own thoughts.
Furthermore, Han Xiao knew very well that it did not matter if the Dark Net was neutral or not. If the Germinal Organization was destroyed, the Dark Net would be the next target on the list.
The Dark Net's influence was complicated and complicated. He had always appeared harmless, but no one could be sure that he would be harmless in the future. A tall tree attracts the wind, and a jade ring arouses the envy of others. How could he allow others to sleep in his bed?
In Han Xiao's previous life, at the end of Version 1.0, the Six Nations had shown signs of suppressing the Dark Net. Now that the Germinal Organization had been destroyed two years earlier, the Six Nations were not as heavily injured as they had been in Han Xiao's previous life. Therefore, whether or not they should suppress the Dark Net ahead of time was up for debate.
At this time, a Stardragon officer walked into the cabin, waved the tablet in his hand, and said, "We will arrive in Andrea in eight hours. Our destination is Migratory Bird Port in the south. This is the basic situation of the southern battlefield and some missions. Take a look."
After he finished speaking, everyone raised their heads and looked at him in confusion.
The officer was a little confused. What was with this reaction? Shouldn't someone come forward to take the tablet? He was holding the tablet and no one was paying attention to him. It was very awkward.
Qin Yuan reacted and hurriedly asked everyone to take out their earplugs. He said awkwardly, "Can you say that again?"
Ten minutes later, each of them had a computer and were checking the information.
Han Xiao suddenly said, "Give me a map of the Germinal Organization's battlefield and its basic layout."
The officer agreed.
The map and the enemy's layout were not confidential. The higher-ups had instructed them to take Black Phantom seriously and to comply with all reasonable requests.
Stardragon's quick response had something to do with Han Xiao's identity. In the game's terms, it was because his faction relationship and Legendary Points were high enough.
The intelligence was also the reason why Han Xiao wanted to go through the official channels. The war zone was not so easy to pass through. If he went in without knowing anything about the enemy's layout, he would most likely end up in a mess. The Six Nations' intelligence was very comprehensive, so it was convenient for him to think of a plan.
"There are a lot of troops stationed near the headquarters. There are many positions, both ground and air blockade …"
The Germinal Organization's headquarters was a large group of bases. The real core was hidden in the explosion-proof fortification in the center. That was Han Xiao's target.
Han Xiao noticed that there were many small gaps in the Germinal Organization's layout. It seemed like there was a chance for him to directly enter the headquarters. The gaps were not obvious, but they were not too hidden either.
"It feels weird." Han Xiao rubbed his chin. His eyes flashed.
…
The transport plane landed in Andrea. The cabin door opened, and what greeted them was the smell of smoke and the tense atmosphere of war. Countless warships were anchored in the sea far away, and the roar of helicopters could be heard from time to time. This port was still full of burn marks from the landing war. Rows of Stardragon soldiers were busy passing through.
Han Xiao followed the crowd down the plane. What followed was the various official procedures. It took two hours for everything to be completed. The mercenaries finally passed through the barbed wire barrier, boarded the troop carrier, and walked along the main road into the battlefield. The troop carrier was heading to a frontline position, where it was fighting with a small Germinal Organization unit in a ruined city.
From the moment he got off the plane, Han Xiao had not stopped moving. He could feel the urgency of the battlefield. While crossing the battlefield, he could occasionally see refugees in ragged clothes staggering, retreating under the guidance of the soldiers. These people were all wanderers of the Andrea Mainland. Their lives were already difficult enough, and the war made their situation even worse.
The effects of the war from the old era still filled Andrea. The radiation pollution was very high, and there were very few plants and animals here. Most of the refugees had black and yellow scabs on their bare skin, and some even had tumors.
When they arrived, Qin Yuan got off the car and went to look for Han Xiao before the officers arrived.
"Your Excellency Black Phantom, we hope you can command us."
Mercenaries respected the strong, and Han Xiao's position was unquestionable. It was the safest to stick together on the battlefield. It was instinctive to lean toward the strong.
Han Xiao waved his hand, picked up the equipment bag, turned around, and left.
Qin Yuan was stunned. He hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going? That's leaving the position. Our mission is …"
Han Xiao's voice came from afar. "I'm not interested in that mission. I'm used to working alone."
Everyone looked at each other helplessly.
Fine, they were being snubbed. He did not even want them to stick together and went off to play by himself.
…
A few days later.
The scorching sun scorched the earth. The town of Miga was originally a settlement of wanderers, but now it was reduced to a small-scale battlefield. The short buildings were in tatters, and the ground was littered with bullet shells and craters. Traces of black smoke were all over the ground and walls, and there were still unburned embers giving off black smoke.
"Huff, huff …"
Panting sounds came from behind a half-collapsed building. A few Supers wearing the Stardragon insignia combat uniform were hiding behind the wall, carefully observing their surroundings. They were Pugilist Supers trained by the army. With the level of Blue Star's civilization, Pugilist Supers were the easiest Supers to popularize on a large scale.
"Captain, we're in a bad situation. The Germinal Organization has the advantage in numbers. They have a small team of two hundred people, seven Supers, and fifteen super soldiers. We only have eleven Supers left, and they're all separated," Fang Yun said.
"I've already requested for backup. The Division 13 agents at the position will soon lead reinforcements. We just need to hold on for an hour," Fang Yun said in a deep voice.
"An hour … The enemy still has a bunch of damn Inhumans. They're too hard to deal with."
At this time, the sound of machine gun fire came from afar. Cries and screams sounded, but they stopped abruptly.
There was still a group of refugees who did not manage to evacuate in time, hiding in fear. The Germinal Organization was worried that the Stardragon people would disguise themselves as refugees, so they did not let any of them go and killed them all.
"With these refugees stalling for time, we won't be able to find them so quickly."
Fang Yun's eyes flashed with pity, but he nodded solemnly. At this juncture, they had to use all possible factors to protect themselves. There was no room for mercy on the battlefield, and they did not have time to care about the lives of a group of refugees.
There was no justice in war. Life and death were up to fate.
At the same time, on the second floor of a building, Han Xiao, who had changed his face, wore a tattered robe outside, disguised as a refugee, and stood by the window, sticking close to the wall, carefully observing the situation outside.
This battlefield was the target he had determined after a few days of searching. His plan was to assassinate a member of the Germinal Organization here. He had used this trick in Dark Crow Valley before, and he was going to use it again this time. In this chaotic battlefield, he had a natural advantage. Trying to find him was like finding a needle in a haystack.
When he was observing the deployment of the battlefield, Han Xiao had found a gap in the Germinal Organization's formation. However, he felt that since he could find this gap, the Six Nations and the Germinal Organization would most likely find it as well. It looked like a trap, so he decided to use his own method.
If he wanted to enter the headquarters, it was too risky to force his way in. Furthermore, Han Xiao wanted to go to the underground headquarters, so it was much more difficult to enter. Using an artificial optical mask to constantly change his identity and 'infiltrate' the headquarters openly was safer. Even if he was exposed, the enemy would not know who he was, so he could continue to change his face and hide.
