"Something's not right."
The three of them were heading to the entrance of the underground tunnel. Han Xiao frowned, looked around, and said, "The atmosphere is not right. There are fewer people on the road, and I have a sense of danger … Did you trigger the alarm?" When he said the last sentence, he looked at Cyberlos with a piercing gaze.
Cyberlos was shocked and quickly denied it. "No, I definitely didn't do it. Maybe the leader found something unusual. My authority is not as high as the leader's, and he found traces of me browsing the information. It really has nothing to do with me."
Han Xiao gripped the equipment bag tightly and said in a low voice, "Let's go quickly."
At this time, five floors above, the leader was rushing in their direction with a tablet in his hand. The screen was showing the surveillance footage. He sneered. "Are you starting to suspect something? When you get to the underground tunnel, my ambush will be complete. Don't even think about escaping this time."
The leader did not expect Han Xiao to have the guts to sneak in alone. He even felt that such a powerful ambush was a waste. In his impression, Han Xiao's strength was still at the level of the Dark Crow Valley operation, about the same as Pan Kuang. However, there were more than fifty executive officers in the headquarters who were stronger than Pan Kuang.
There was no way to escape from this inescapable net.
The last layer of insurance in the encirclement was the leader himself. There were very few people who could match his strength. Even the legendary hero Bennett could only fight him to a draw at most. A few decades ago, the leader and Bennett had fought once, and it was a draw.
The leader was also a person who stood at the peak of the Blue Star, and that was why he could control such a large organization.
Seeing that Han Xiao was like a little bug that fell into a spider's web, falling deeper and deeper, the leader seemed to see the light of success. However, the next moment, he saw a dark red stream of light shooting toward Han Xiao from the end of the corridor.
Hella seemed to have gone crazy. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Han Xiao with hatred. It was not that she recognized Han Xiao, but she sensed Aurora's life mark. Her sister was hiding in the equipment bag that this person was carrying, curled up into a ball.
Seeing this scene, how could Hila hold back? Her Esper Ability instantly erupted, and her wine-red hair danced wildly like snakes. The thick gray and red auras intertwined with each other, condensing into an arrow that shot out. Her killing intent was almost tangible.
"Put her down!"
Seeing a stranger carry her sister away in a bag was like a parent seeing their child being carried away by a stranger. There was no way she could calm down in such a situation. Anger swallowed her rationality, and she could not think at all. Furthermore, her sister had a special meaning to her. She was practically her spiritual sustenance, and this was like adding fuel to the fire.
"This woman has become stronger again." Han Xiao was shocked. He hurriedly slid and dodged the cone-shaped dark red air arrow. The air arrow penetrated deeply into the steel wall, making his heart tremble. Hella's Esper Ability was both physical and mental damage. Just the physical damage alone was already so strong, the main mental damage would be even more terrifying. It was estimated that she was angry, and the damage bonus was almost on par with his [Flaming Will].
Even if he had thick skin, Han Xiao was not interested in taking the attack head-on. He dodged, and with a thought, he destroyed the camera with two shots. He then shouted, "Hella, I'm here to save your sister. You hit the wrong person, you prodigal woman …"
Before he could finish, Hella bumped into him and reached for the backpack, not listening to what he said at all. Han Xiao was helpless. He let go of the backpack and carried his other equipment bag. He activated the electromagnetic Hover-boots and the small maneuvering device and jumped to the ceiling to avoid the attack.
Hella hurriedly put down the shoulder bag, opened the zipper, and looked at Aurora.
"Sister!" Aurora's crisp voice was full of surprise.
"Are you okay?" Hella hurriedly checked Aurora's body. Seeing that she was not injured, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she remember that there was still an enemy. She suddenly stood up and blocked Aurora behind her. Her eyes were shining with a dark red light, and her face was vigilant. She looked like she was about to make a move.
"Sister, you misunderstood." Aurora struggled to poke her head out of the bag and hurriedly shouted, "That uncle is here to save me."
"I don't know him at all." Hella looked vigilant and did not move.
"He said he is Uncle Zero."
Hella was stunned and could not believe it.
Uncle Zero?
"It's me." At this point, Han Xiao did not hide anymore. The alarms of the entire base rang. He knew that he had been exposed and had a helpless look on his face. When Hella suddenly appeared, he knew that something was wrong. With how much Hella valued Aurora, she would definitely fight with her life the moment she saw her.
"How could it be you?" Hella could not believe it. The dark red aura fluctuated violently with her emotions.
Why would Uncle Zero come to save Aurora? They should not be related at all. She could not understand Han Xiao's motive. Furthermore, they should be enemies. Why would his target be Aurora? Could it be that he wants to threaten me like the Germinal Organization?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. Subconsciously, Hella could not believe Han Xiao. No matter what, she could not let go of Han Xiao's act of secretly stealing Aurora.
"I will explain later. I have already saved your sister. The truth is right in front of you. Whether you believe it or not, I am here to help."
"You are now an enemy that the organization is chasing." Hella's expression was cold. She gathered her power in her hands but did not make a move.
"Do you want your sister to continue being controlled by the organization? Now is the best chance to escape." Han Xiao said in a deep voice. The reason he saved Aurora was for Hella. Now that the main target was right in front of him, he naturally would not just leave.
The alarms buzzed loudly. Hella rarely hesitated. She really wanted to take Aurora and escape, but the alarms of the base had already been triggered. She knew better than Han Xiao the current strength of the headquarters. The chances of escaping were too small. She was not willing to let Aurora take the risk.
"If only I did not make a move just now." This thought appeared and disappeared in a flash. However, if she had to choose again, Hella would still not hesitate to make a move.
At this moment, Aurora tugged at the corner of Hella's clothes.
"Sister, take me away."
Hella's expression tightened. She lowered her head and saw Aurora's face full of hope and desire. The words of rejection were stuck in her throat and she could not say anything.
Yes, how could she throw her sister back into a life worse than death?
Thinking of the times Aurora had gone through, Hila's heart felt like it was being torn apart, and she could empathize with her.
At least the most difficult step had been completed. Her sister had left the cage. This was what she had always dreamed of.
At this moment, Hella's expression was firm. She gently stroked Aurora's little head and thought to herself.
At most, if you fail, sister will die with you.
Hella looked up at Han Xiao with a complicated expression and said, "Come with me."
She did not expect that one day she would fight side by side with Han Xiao …
With more strength, the chances of escaping would be higher. Since Zero could sneak in without anyone noticing, he should not be too weak.
After that, Hella put Aurora into her bag and strode in another direction. Han Xiao dragged Cyberlos and followed behind.
Since he was exposed, he could not go to the underground tunnel. As the local tyrant, Hella might have other ways.
Han Xiao was helpless. A fierce battle was unavoidable. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared for failure. Sigh, being an unparalleled assassin was not my intention …
He did not know that Hella seemed to have exposed him, but in fact, she had indirectly helped him avoid the trap.
…
"Idiot! Who told her to do it! " The leader was furious. Han Xiao's change of route had disrupted his plan and alerted the enemy. At this time, the encirclement had not been completed yet.
As the camera was blown up, the leader did not see the conversation between Han Xiao and Hella. He thought that the two had already started fighting.
"All executive officers and headquarters, kill them all. I want Zero to die here," the leader ordered through the walkie-talkie.
At the same time, the players in the headquarters received an emergency regional mission.
[Intercept Zero]: Intercept Zero before he escapes the HQ.
