Chapter 258 Ambush!

"Ambush! How could this be?!" Tang Tang was shocked. "Crap, did Germination discover us a long time ago? They didn't act to paralyze us, waiting for this chance to wipe us out in one fell swoop?!"

Danina raged, "What's the use of hindsight?"

After the rescue team sneaked into Germination's territory, they hadn't encountered any attacks. Everything went smoothly, and they thought their whereabouts hadn't been discovered. They didn't expect it to be a trap!

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

A dozen hours ago, the Leader secretly transferred some troops from the western, northern, and southern parts of the encirclement, rushed to this desert ahead of time, ambushing and squatting. If Han Xiao successfully broke through from the eastern New Stone Wasteland, he would be ambushed on the only way.

Han Xiao did not get the news of this action from the forum because there were no players in the transferred troops. The Leader remembered Cerberus's guess. If Zero was an Esper, perhaps there was a special way of contact between Espers. To be on the safe side, the Leader did not use any Espers this time, accidentally concealing the action.

And the Leader's temporary command post was not the headquarters, but here!

Waiting for the rabbit to come to the tree, they had been waiting for a long time!

On the distant sand dunes in front, the Leader stood with his hands behind his back, his long windbreaker fluttering in the sand, his expression as always hidden under the mask. Behind him, dozens of executives stood in a line, watching like hawks and wolves, like hunters waiting for their prey to fall into the trap.

The eyes of the two locked on each other from afar, and they finally met!

The Leader's grim voice sounded again in the communicator:

"Didn't you want to fight me? I'm here. Do you dare to come?"

Han Xiao sighed, "Well done…"

The Leader's move was both unexpected and reasonable. Last night's call with the Leader was not only him probing the Leader, but the Leader was also probing him. Each had his own agenda.

As the prey, it was too demanding to have a flawless calculation in the enemy's home field. It was impossible to completely control the enemy's reaction. Han Xiao was facing almost a dragnet, and he had limited conditions. It was already very difficult to get to this point.

He had tricked the Leader so many times, and he was finally turned around once!

If he wasn't on the receiving end, Han Xiao would almost want to applaud, cheer, and whistle for the Leader.

It wasn't easy, it was so touching!

There was no foolproof plan, and there would always be emergencies. When he encountered a time when he couldn't escape and could only go head-to-head, strength was the only reliance. Han Xiao's plans were basically aimed at gaining power. He was now standing at the upper limit of Version 1.0, only one step away from breaking through Level 60.

The current situation was both dangerous and an opportunity.

About ten Class C Supers versus a well-equipped army of thousands + fifty executives!

"Isn't it just a head-on fight? Let's do it."

Han Xiao's face was calm. He turned off the communication. Before the two sides fought, there were still dozens of seconds of buffer time. He checked his own condition.

"The Viper - Modified has 61% durability left, about 4200 armor points, and more than 3800 health points, about 87%. The condition is average."

In the mission bar, the extra settlement of the breakthrough battle just now had also arrived. The [Limit Trial] reached 815/2000 progress.

"There are a large number of enemies with fierce firepower. Our advantage is that our individual combat power is strong, suppressing the enemy in high-end combat power." Han Xiao pondered secretly, hoping that the teammates who hadn't shown up yet would be helpful.

The panel suddenly had a new mission.

[You have triggered a Class C special mission, [The Traitor's Counterattack]!]

[Mission requirements: Defeat the Leader of the Germination Organization, requiring an output rate of no less than 60%.]

[Mission rewards: Draw two of the Leader's skills or talents.]

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, "No less than 60% of the output, it's a bit difficult."

Han Xiao thought to himself that he hadn't fought the Leader yet, and hadn't seen the other party's attributes, but the Leader, like Bennett, was the protagonist of the Aquamarine Star storyline, so he must be extraordinarily strong. In his current state, not to mention defeating the Leader, if he didn't risk his life, it would be difficult to knock off one-third of the Leader's health.

There were distractions everywhere on the battlefield, and there might be no chance to fight the Leader alone, but although the mission was difficult, the reward made Han Xiao greedy.

Drawing two of the Leader's abilities, both skills and talents were acceptable. As one of the planetary protagonists, the Leader must have a template talent or skill, maybe even the legendary protagonist halo with super high luck. If he could draw it, he would be rich! But then he recalled the miserable state of Germination and said uncertainly, "Well...he should have a luck halo, right?"

At this time, the sense of pushing back increased, and the three cars accelerated at the same time, rushing towards the enemy.

Tang Tang said in a deep voice, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

…

"This is an opportunity to wipe out Zero and the high-end combat power of the Six Nations in one fell swoop."

On the sand dunes, the Leader looked down at the approaching three heavy armored SUVs.

He only had a dozen hours to mobilize troops. Vehicles as bulky as tanks couldn't be driven over. The main force of the ambush was thousands of soldiers and temporary positions, forming a fire coverage, and then there were more than a dozen armed helicopters. Finally, there was the Leader himself and dozens of executives as high-end combat power.

"Fire!"

In an instant, the sound of gunfire was loud, like a thunderclap on the ground. A dark rain of bullets came from all directions, filling every inch of space. The rescue team in the center was like a trapped beast. At this time, an oval purple translucent energy罩 (zhào) (shield) opened, covering the three cars. The overwhelming barrage exploded one after another on the energy罩 (zhào) (shield). The energy罩 (zhào) (shield) flickered constantly, as if it would disappear at any time, but the three cars were unscathed.

The high-speed movement scattered the exploding smoke, leaving a trail of black smoke. Landmines were buried under the desert, blowing up yellow sand. The light of the energy罩 (zhào) (shield) became even dimmer.

The source of the energy罩 (zhào) (shield) was the car on the left rear, from an unknown teammate's Esper ability. Under the protection of the energy罩 (zhào) (shield), everyone approached the Germination troops without any danger.

"Oudifan Na, [Purple Light Protector] Falzord." The Leader's tone was calm. He had an impression of the famous experts of the Six Nations. He could guess who it was at a glance. He had grasped the identities of the opponents who might attend.

The rescue team was about to rush into the position. The Leader was not flustered at all. He mobilized the troops to change formation, avoiding the edge and adopting a guerrilla warfare of attrition. He knew early on that ordinary troops could not stop a group of powerful Supers from approaching and was prepared.

The rescue team rushed into the position, as if trapped in a quagmire. The Leader's eyes flashed, "Let me see, who else is there?"

"Go!" Danina took the lead in getting out of the car, and a terrifying burst of flames spurted out, blasting the first three machine gun positions into fireballs, and the burning figures fled in panic.

The driver, Aro Pai Gao, was a Sanu, and the Sanu people were born with some war-纹 (wén) (tattoo)-like patterns on their skin. At this time, these patterns all lit up, turning into dazzling red light and spreading on the skin. His body swelled up, bursting his clothes, and turned into a small giant more than four meters high. He had a transformation-type Esper ability, like a tank, rampaging. At the same time, Tang Tang in the same car rubbed her hands, generating miniature dragon旋风 (xuànfēng) (whirlwinds), which quickly grew stronger after being released, rolling the sand on the ground into sandstorms, sweeping the Germination formation into chaos, and individual figures were swept into the sky.

In addition to these three, people also got out of the other two cars. One was a械武者 (xiè wǔ zhě) (Mech Warrior) wearing heavy mechanical armor like a rhinoceros, whose weapon was a mechanical long-柄 (bǐng) (handled) hammer with a precise structure. The hammerhead also had a jet booster to increase its power, and he swung it with great force. On the other side, a new teammate let out an ear-piercing scream, and there was a rustling sound on the ground. Then, various desert insects broke out of the sand, like a sea of insects, tearing apart the Germination soldiers. It turned out to be the ability to summon wild animals, which was much stronger than Han Xiao's half-baked [Wild Call]. Falzord, who had just released the purple energy罩 (zhào) (shield) to protect everyone, continued to resist the gunfire and stray bullets for everyone.

Dozens of Germination executives stepped forward to meet the enemy. Although these experts from the Six Nations were strong, the executives had a numerical advantage, and their cooperation could not be underestimated. The situation immediately entered a white-hot stage.

The Supers used their abilities without restraint, and the scene was in chaos in an instant.

Han Xiao pulled Hela, who had recovered some of her strength, out of the car, and found that these experts from the Six Nations were basically all familiar faces, all celebrities from Aquamarine Star!

These people were the highest-end combat power of various countries. In his previous life, players had to brush their faction reputation very high to get in touch with these high-level NPCs, and now these strong men who had never met gathered together, all to rescue him.

Han Xiao had been operating for so long, and his influence was extraordinary.

At least in this war, he was an important figure contested by many parties.

The experts who had appeared so far were all within the Leader's expectations. In the pre-prepared plan, the ambushing troops would suffer heavy losses, but they could eat this small team and inflict heavy losses on the Six Nations!

The Leader saw Han Xiao from a distance, his eyes sharpened in an instant, as if he had discovered his prey. He strode forward, and with each step, black and purple flames were like a raging fire, expanding madly.

He dreamed of smashing Han Xiao's head with his own hands.

The strength of the Leader of Germination was unfathomable. The Supers of the Six Nations present all had a solemn look on their faces, waiting in formation.

"Can you take care of yourself?" Han Xiao didn't look back. Since the Leader took the initiative to come to him, whether for personal or general interests, he wouldn't be weak. He would go head-to-head. Who was afraid of whom?

"No problem." Hela gritted her teeth.

Han Xiao nodded, took a deep breath, adjusted his state to the peak, and was about to step towards the Leader when a terrifying aura that moved everyone rose into the sky on the other side, breaking through the Leader's oppression and attracting everyone's attention!

I saw a familiar figure walking down from the last car, with meticulous hair, a weathered and resolute face, a neat and well-fitting便装 (biànzhuāng) (casual wear), and white flames burning all over his body.

Bennett!

The Leader's heart trembled wildly, and his eyes changed drastically.

The leader of the Dark Web Organization, how could he also be in the rescue team?!

The Leader never guessed that as a high-level leader of a neutral force, how could he personally take the risk! In his plan, the opponents should be experts from the Six Nations. Bennett's appearance was completely unexpected. Miscalculating the power level of the opponent would lead the entire plan to an unknown result. The originally deduced possibilities were completely invalidated!

Not only that, but four more high-level Supers who did not belong to the Six Nations got out of the car. Two were other high-end combat forces of the Dark Web Organization, whose strength was no less than that of the experts of the Six Nations. The other two were Han Xiao's acquaintances, Hannes and Vernina, whom he had met in Red Maple. Han Xiao had received a hidden main mission from them. The two nodded to Han Xiao in greeting.

All these acquaintances and experts were here!

Han Xiao stopped and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? How did you end up in the rescue team of the Six Nations?"

Bennett glared at him unhappily, still resentful about Han Xiao hiding his identity and fooling him, so he didn't want to speak.

The Dark Web maintained neutrality in this war. Since Han Xiao's identity was exposed, Bennett suddenly discovered the hope of ending the war early. The intelligence Han Xiao stole from Germination headquarters was the key.

Bennett's original intention of building a shelter was to protect life. If the war could be ended early, more lives would be saved and more innocent people would be spared from sacrifice. Because Han Xiao let him see new possibilities, Bennett finally changed his position and chose to intervene in the war! The Dark Web had no resources to intervene, so he helped in his personal capacity. So he came, set off with the rescue team of the Six Nations, and brought a group of helpers!

Bennett and others were Han Xiao's real people!

Boldness comes from superior skill. Bennett dared to take the risk alone because he had absolute confidence in his strength.

He was recognized by all the forces on Aquamarine Star as one of the strongest Supers!

"I'll leave him to me." Bennett looked at the Leader, leisurely, as if the surrounding rain of bullets did not exist in his eyes.

The Leader's eyes were gloomy, and the situation had once again exceeded his expectations. He was already furious.

Bennett stood in front of him, looking like he was going to protect Han Xiao at all costs. Without getting rid of Bennett, the Leader knew that he would have no chance to deal with Han Xiao.

"The famous Germination Organization, it is rumored that the Leader's strength is unfathomable, and very few people have seen you go all out. It seems that today is my lucky day." Bennett put on a calm and confident smile, but his tone was sonorous and powerful:

"Want to touch my people? Did you ask me?!"

The Leader was silent, silently changing from walking to running, and then into a phantom as fast as a black meteor. Bennett was unwilling to be outdone, and met him wrapped in intense white flames.

With Han Xiao's eyesight, he could see that Bennett had used [Will Burning]. With his luck aura, he was definitely at the highest five times the critical hit rate!

Black-purple and white collided violently!

Rumble—

It was like lightning striking earth fire, exploding thunder out of thin air. Ordinary soldiers who were close by covered their bleeding ears and fell down in pain.

Two planetary protagonists, colliding head-on!

ps: (There is only one update today. I have something to go out in the evening. Time is like cleavage, and I can barely squeeze out the time to code. I can only write so much. This chapter has almost 4000 words. If you split it up, it should be considered two chapters...)
