Teams A and B rushed to the second floor and stared at Baltar's mangled body in shock.
"Baltar was killed?!"
"What happened here?"
"Where did the enemy go?"
"Why isn't anyone in the control room answering?!"
"Go ask for Professor Lin Wei Xian's help!"
"Team C found Professor Lin Wei Xian's body!"
"Oh my god …"
All the guards sucked in a breath of cold air, their faces full of horror. Was this all done by the Zero who had no combat power at all?! Zero had single-handedly turned the entire base upside down. All the important leaders had either left or died. The guards were shocked to find that no one was giving orders.
Wasn't that test subject brainwashed? Could it be that he had been waiting for the right moment to strike?
Thinking of this possibility, the guards were shocked to find that Han Xiao had been keeping a low profile. He was like a sharp knife hanging over their heads, ready to take their lives at any moment. They hadn't noticed him at all. Instead, they had ignored Han Xiao's existence.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. "Don't panic.
There's only one enemy. Do a carpet search. Fire at will. Team A, go to the armory. Team B, check the control room. Team C, go to the lab to protect the experiment data. Team D, guard the main door. No matter what Zero wants to do, if he wants to escape, he'll definitely go to the main door.
Move! "At this critical moment, the Team A leader took over the command.
The orders were clear. The guards immediately sprang into action. There were sixty armed personnel in the base, divided into four teams A, B, C, and D. They were usually stationed at different posts, but they would gather in the event of an emergency.
However, Han Xiao had many plans to deal with all kinds of situations.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound came from below. Every guard felt the ground shake. The Team A leader was shocked. "What's going on?!"
The sound of gunfire came from the walkie-talkie, mixed with urgent shouts. "Team C encountered an enemy in the lab. I repeat, Team C encountered an enemy in the lab. Damn it, Zero detonated a grenade. The lab is on fire!"
"Where did he get the grenade?!" The Team A leader was furious. He and his team had been waiting outside the armory. No one had come.
"Reinforcements, send reinforcements immediately! Which team is the closest? "
"Our Team B is also on the third basement floor. The surveillance room has been destroyed. We are rushing to the location of the exchange of fire!"
…
On the third floor, Han Xiao was hiding in the corner of the corridor. The laboratory ten meters away from him was filled with billowing black smoke and raging fire. He had used three grenades tied together to set the Valkyrie's experiment data on fire. More than ten guards from Team C were shooting at the corner where he was hiding.
After killing Baltar, Han Xiao did not go straight to the main entrance. Instead, he went back to the third floor in the opposite direction. He knew that the guards had set up an inescapable net and were searching from the top floor. If he rushed up recklessly, he would be ambushed.
Since the plan of sneaking away didn't work, Han Xiao could only change his plan. The laboratory was on the third floor underground, where all the experimental data was stored. It could be said that it was the core area of the entire base. Blowing it up would disrupt the enemy's deployment to a certain extent.
What? You want to ask him where he got his grenades?
He had basically assembled all the equipment in the armory. In the process, he could steal some gunpowder and steel balls and secretly make a new grenade. It was not difficult at all.
You know how to skimp on materials. You know what soul talent is.
"I also have seventy-seven bullets and five homemade grenades."
Han Xiao checked his equipment. His firepower was limited. He quickly peeked out from the corner of the room, then immediately shrank back. Bullets rained down on him. If he had been half a second slower, he would have been hit by at least two or three bullets.
"Twelve guards, three Wright N9 submachine guns, and nine Type 73 Wasp pistols. Their firepower is stronger than mine."
Han Xiao's eyes darted around. It had been a minute since the attack on the laboratory. Team B would arrive in three minutes. He did not have much time left. Logically speaking, he should not have known, but Han Xiao had picked up the walkie-talkie from the guard's corpse and learned of the enemy's deployment.
The attack had happened so suddenly that the guards did not realize that the walkie-talkie had exposed their movements.
Han Xiao activated a grenade and threw it out. The sound of the explosion was so loud that the guards of Team C quickly ran for cover. The sound of gunfire stopped.
Han Xiao's face turned serious. With a mechanical arm in front of him, he rushed out and quickly closed the distance between the two sides.
Before the smoke had even dispersed, Han Xiao had already passed through the smoke and rushed to the front of a guard. His mechanical fist smashed into the guard's stomach. The guard immediately spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs. This punch had taken away more than half of the target's HP, directly reducing the enemy's combat ability.
"Shoot! Shoot! "
The sound of gunfire rang out. Han Xiao grabbed the guard's body and pushed forward. The other enemies did not hold back and decisively opened fire. Blood spurted out of the guard's back as he was shot into a pile of mush.
With the protection of the meat shield, Han Xiao successfully closed the distance between them. Like a tiger in a flock of sheep, his mechanical arm roared. Every punch and kick was enough to break the bones of the guards, and he killed three of them.
The guards of Team C hurriedly spread out. Han Xiao rolled and blocked with his mechanical arm. The bullets bounced off the metal, and the durability of the bullets dropped rapidly. He took out his handgun and counterattacked, emptying a clip and killing three guards on the spot.
At this moment, Han Xiao felt a sharp pain in his arm and thigh.
You have been shot in the right arm by a Type 73 WASP! You have received 17 damage!
You have been shot in the left leg by a Wright N9 Submachine Gun! You have received 21 damage!
You have been shot! You have entered a state of light bleeding. You will lose 1 HP per second for 15 seconds. Please bandage your wounds as soon as possible! x2
Gunshot damage had a high chance of causing a bleeding effect, which was very troublesome in the early stages.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. He had been mentally prepared for this. He was glad that Baltar's torture had made him accustomed to pain, and the injury did not affect his mobility. Han Xiao did not have time to look for cover and shoot back. He gritted his teeth and threw out a grenade. The agents hurriedly took cover, and the gunfire stopped again.
"Boom!" The sound of the grenade's explosion caused Han Xiao's eardrums to hurt. He let out a low growl and pounced forward again.
A minute later, all the guards of Team C were killed by his Lightweight Mechanical Arm. The price they paid was five gunshots. After the battle, he hurriedly bandaged his wounds. In total, he had lost 110 HP, more than one-third of his total.
After leaving combat, his HP would recover at an extremely slow rate.
"Fighting head-on is too disadvantageous. If only there were active skills. Basic Combat and Basic Shooting only provide passive bonuses."
Han Xiao shook his head and took out his walkie-talkie.
"Team C, respond quickly. What's the situation?"
Han Xiao coughed and said, "Cough cough, Team C has suffered heavy casualties. We've already trapped the target in the laboratory. The target has been shot. Quick, send reinforcements!" As he spoke, he picked up the submachine gun on the ground and casually fired, creating the illusion of a fierce exchange of fire.
"Okay, hold on. Team B is on the way!" The other party did not suspect anything. Han Xiao's taciturn persona was deeply ingrained in their minds. They did not expect Han Xiao to use such a tactic.
Han Xiao tied the remaining three grenades together and hung them on the door of the lab. A ring was attached to a thin string to make a simple booby trap. The moment the door was opened, it would detonate. Then, he placed a table horizontally as cover and quickly found a large number of magazines on the bodies around him. He reloaded the three submachine guns and placed them next to him. Then, he fired at random to create the illusion of a firefight. He crouched behind cover and waited for the enemy to break in.
Noisy footsteps approached from afar, and with a bang, the door was kicked open.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion came as expected. The flames expanded, and the shockwave sent glass, bullet shells, and rocks flying. Screams of pain could be heard!
Han Xiao did not say anything. He picked up a submachine gun in each hand and rushed to the door under the cover of the dust. He stuck the gun out of the door and fired at the walls on both sides. The smoke blocked his vision, and the dull sound of bullets hitting flesh could be heard continuously. Only when the magazines were empty did the surroundings become quiet.
The standard way to break in was for one person to kick the door while the others hid beside it. Although Team B was lucky enough to avoid the first round of grenades, they could not avoid the subsequent rounds of gunfire.
Dozens of kill notifications appeared on the interface like a waterfall.
Team B was almost completely wiped out. Only three guards were still breathing and lying in a pool of blood. When they saw Han Xiao walk out of the smoke, their eyes were wide open and filled with shock and astonishment.
He even knew how to use booby traps. Was this still the low-profile and dull Test Subject Zero?
Han Xiao fired three shots and sent the three of them back to their homes.
"What was the explosion? What's the situation now?" Team A's leader asked loudly.
Han Xiao picked up a few guns and fired randomly. He pretended to be flustered and said, "Team B was ambushed and is currently fighting with the enemy in the laboratory. Requesting backup, requesting backup!"
"Team A, send backup immediately." Team A's leader was shocked. He led his team all the way down to the laboratory on the third floor. Team A's leader was uneasy, feeling that he had missed something important.
When they reached the third floor, Team A's leader suddenly realized something. He hurriedly said, "Everyone, be careful. Zero might have hacked into our communication network. From now on, follow my orders!"
The team members' expressions changed drastically. Only then did they consider the possibility that Zero had gotten hold of the walkie-talkie.
It was because Han Xiao's previous image was too quiet that they had overlooked this loophole.
If Zero had gotten hold of the walkie-talkie, then there was a chance that Team B's call for help was fake. From the beginning to the end, the other Team B members did not say a word.
Team A's leader had an unbelievable thought. Could Team B and C have been wiped out by Zero?
He shuddered.
If that was the case, did that not mean that Zero had single-handedly wiped out half of the base's defense forces? He did not want to believe this conjecture, but all the clues told him that no matter how unbelievable it was, this was the truth!
He was almost certain that the 'Team B member' from earlier was Zero in disguise. His goal was to lure Team A into a trap?
Or was Zero just trying to send Team A away so that he could escape the base through the main gate?
Team A's leader hurriedly said, "Team D, is there anything wrong with the main gate?"
"Not at the moment."
Team A's leader heaved a sigh of relief. He could not be led by the nose by Zero. More than half of the guards were dead, and the situation was out of control. It was no longer realistic to rely on the remaining people to eliminate Zero. He had to inform Madam Hella immediately!
"Team A, listen up. Return to the main gate immediately!"
Team A's leader made a decision. He decided to gather everyone to guard the main gate and wait for reinforcements to arrive. This was the most reliable method.
