Chapter 1 Han Xiao's Identity

Han Xiao's true identity aroused great attention from various forces, because Zero was the instigator of the war, and Black Phantom was a powerful mechanic and assassin standing at the peak. Combining the two resumes, the major forces seemed to see another legendary star rising.

It had been many years since there had been such a legendary figure.

Now he also possessed key intelligence that influenced the war, becoming the center of the storm, so naturally he attracted much attention.

Four days after the intelligence spread, basically every influential force in the world knew Han Xiao's identity, and two forces received the most extra attention.

One was the Opherma family, where Han Xiao's original body was born. Many local forces in North Continent visited, and under Han Xiao's influence, Opherma gained many new allies. At the same time, the fact that Han Xiao became a senior member of the Xiao Sect spread like wildfire.

This farcical event became an indelible stain on the Xiao Sect. Looking at everyone who was stifling a laugh, Xiao Hai felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to swallow shit and kill himself.

The other was the Dark Net organization. Han Xiao was now a high-level member of the Dark Net, but the major forces found that the Dark Net had not responded, and they didn't know what their attitude was.

In the blink of an eye, four days had passed.

…

Looking down from the sky, the sandy yellow wilderness was filled with smoke. An armored and ferocious off-road vehicle dragged billowing dust, traversing the wilderness. One or two kilometers behind this vehicle, a Germination search team was chasing relentlessly along the tracks.

"Four days, this is the thirteenth team."

In the passenger seat, Han Xiao manipulated the camera installed at the rear of the vehicle, observing the situation of the tracking team, and shook his head, saying, "Only this many people, they're just here to deliver parts again."

"..." Hela, who was driving, glanced at him. She was so tired that she didn't even want to talk.

The appearances of the two at this time were two extremes. After four days of fleeing, enemies were everywhere, and there were high-intensity battles every day. Hela was not the great Mechanic Han who used machinery to fight. Her power came from her own ability, and her ability consumed energy and physical strength. Every encounter was a difficult battle for her. At this time, she was exhausted, covered in dirt, and had dark circles under her eyes.

However, Han Xiao was completely different. Using the Viper-Modified mech for combat, he was calm and relaxed. Moreover, most of the strength of the pursuing enemies was crushed by him. In comparison, Hela could not deal with the enemies as easily as him.

While driving, Hela's head nodded little by little as if she would fall asleep at any time. Even if she was driving while exhausted, she didn't want to hand over the steering wheel to Han Xiao—one side was a cliff, and the other was an abyss, the cliff at least had a bottom...

"Sister, do you want juice?" Aurora, who was sitting in the back row, poked her head out, blinking her eyes, and handed over a silver bagged liquid.

"This isn't called juice. This is a synthetic energy drink, used to relieve fatigue and boost spirits, a military ration, you can't..." Han Xiao looked back and saw the empty bags piled up in the back seat, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said, "... drink too much."

"But it's very tasty."

Aurora shrank her head timidly.

When she was imprisoned, her daily food was the same monotonous nutrient paste. This kind of energy drink was a novel delicacy for her, and the result was that she was now particularly energetic.

At the beginning of the escape, the starting point was just a mechanic, Han Xiao. The resources all depended on snatching. This kind of long-distance chase was a stage for the mechanic to show his advantages, solve the pursuers, dismantle their equipment into parts, and then manufacture his own weapons, supporting the war with war.

In professional leagues, mechanics are popular in survival competitions with external enemy factors.

In addition to military canned food and some energy drinks, the spoils also included a large number of parts. Han Xiao modified their off-road vehicle, the internal engine, cylinder, etc. have been optimized, running like a wild bull. The outer shell was covered with traces of modification, very wilderness style.

Germination's troops were restrained by the Six Nations, reducing more than half of their pressure. The Six Nations also contracted the missile interception problem, so he didn't have to worry about fighting in one place for too long, and then a missile head would be thrown on his head, and then hallelujah.

Han Xiao looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Turn around and take care of them. Little brat, lie down under the seat and don't show your head."

Aurora obediently did as she was told.

Hela was expressionless, took the drink, squeezed it hard, raised her head and drank it all, and then steered the steering wheel, the off-road vehicle violently swung around, stirring up waves of dust, charging towards the pursuers like a bullfight.

Han Xiao quickly completed the change of equipment, his appearance greatly changed. In order to adapt to the chase, he modified the Viper-Modified, adding a large number of mounted remote weapons, such as the triple-mounted machine guns on both arms, the grenade launchers on both shoulders, and the additional ammunition bays on the legs and back. The yellow ammunition chains were like ribbons wrapped around his body. All of these things were seized from the enemy.

The entire mech looked twice as bloated, more adapted to ranged combat, and could be called the [Viper-Modified - Ranged Type].

The built-in tactical display analyzed the enemy's formation.

"Four executives, thirty Night Owl troops, and ten players, a total of ten vehicles... Oh, the formation has changed."

This motorcade suddenly unfolded an encirclement formation, wanting to use guerrilla tactics to hold Han Xiao and others back, and then wait for reinforcements. They knew that their strength was limited and could not confront head-on.

Han Xiao was not surprised. Since he solved the fifth search team, all the pursuers afterwards adopted this tactic, and he was already used to it.

Bang bang bang—

The machine guns on both arms roared, pouring out hot steel-core bullets, and every roar of the large-caliber guns was like a heavy drumbeat on the heart.

The ghostly blue Mechanical Force entangled the gun barrels, greatly increasing the power, and instantly broke through an armored vehicle, turning it into a hornet's nest.

This motorcade launched a counterattack, and various vehicle-mounted weapons showed their sharpness. In terms of firepower, they were stronger than Han Xiao's side, shooting from all directions, drawing hot orange-red trajectories.

Han Xiao's tactical screen analyzed the trajectory of the small rockets, and then detonated them in the air in advance. As for the machine gun bullets, he could only rely on the modified off-road vehicle's armor to withstand them, making a clanging sound and sparks flying everywhere.

It was precisely because Germination's troops had too much firepower that Han Xiao temporarily changed the Viper-Modified to a ranged form. He knew how miserable it was to be kited.

Boom boom!

Explosions rose one after another.

Han Xiao confronted the firepower of several vehicles and dozens of people alone, and the battle fell into a stalemate. At this time, he turned his head and signaled Hela.

Hela knew it was her turn to take action, her eyes flashed with dark red streamers, and light flames trailed at the corners of her eyes. She opened the window and pushed her hand out, a light red arc of light sweeping across three vehicles, causing mental damage that ignored physical protection.

Buzz—

Invisible sound waves shook the mind.

The personnel in the cars spat blood from their facial features and were severely injured.

"Cough cough..." Hela suddenly coughed violently, her expression even more sluggish.

Frequent use of her ability brought her close to exhaustion, but her ability had also made breakthroughs. Like a few days ago, if she wanted to unleash such an attack, she would need to brew for at least a few seconds, but now she could complete it casually. When people reach their limit, they begin to force out their potential, and Hela's potential is as high as Grade S, and she is growing rapidly.

With the cooperation of the two, this encounter quickly ended. The four executives, who were only in their thirties, didn't make any waves and contributed 2 Trial Points to Han Xiao. He had already discovered that not only enemies above level 40 would give Trial Points, but slightly lower-level enemies also did, but if it was less than 1 point, it wouldn't be displayed, but it would accumulate implicitly.

[【Limit Trial】: Current progress 723/2000]

"More than seven hundred points, faster than I expected." Han Xiao looked back at the battle panel and saw a piece of information:

[The battle is over. According to the difference in the number of enemies and allies, you will receive an additional 15 Trial Points]

In these four days, Han Xiao discovered a new requirement for the advancement mission.

It turned out that facing a siege would result in additional Trial Points, and this extra gain would only be calculated after the end of the battle. When escaping from the headquarters, he obtained an additional eighty Trial Points. He didn't pay attention at the time because the situation was urgent. Later, when he saw that the mission progress was too much, he discovered the statistics in the battle information column.

The description of [Limit Trial] included a sentence "The more difficult the victory process (blood volume calculation), the more Trial Points", Han Xiao originally thought that it meant that the less blood he had when he won against the enemy, the more he would gain, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to maintain a very high state, so he didn't rashly get injured for this little benefit.

But now he understood the meaning of this sentence. "Blood volume calculation" may be calculating the overall blood volume difference between the enemy and ourselves, so the more enemies there are, and the fewer teammates we have, there will be extra rewards, meaning that the advancement mission encourages fighting more with less, reducing the benefits for rich players who spend money to hire people to team up, so experts can complete the advancement faster, in order to balance the gap between rMB players and technical players.

Han Xiao came to the captured equipment vehicle and started dismantling parts. Destruction is far easier than creation. His speed of dismantling things was simply dazzling. While dismantling, he said, "According to estimates, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive at the battlefield in about seven to twelve minutes, so we can only stay for five minutes. Can you still hold on? If not, I'll drive."

"I'm fine." Hela reached out and took a new bag of energy drink, drank it all, and forcibly boosted her spirits.

Han Xiao quickly picked and chose, moved the useful parts onto the car, and drove away. The anti-radar coating prevented Germination from locking onto them from a long distance, and they could only use the most laborious carpet search.

Ten minutes later, Germination's reinforcements arrived, only to see a mess on the ground, and no trace of Han Xiao and his party.
