Chapter 12 The Gunner

After waiting a few minutes, a man entered the café and sat down across from Han Xiao. He was bundled in a dark green trench coat, with sunglasses, a hat, and a scarf wrapped around his neck, burying the lower half of his face. The man carried a metal suitcase, which he placed on the table, staring at Han Xiao without speaking.

The seller knew that the trading partner was Black Phantom, but Han Xiao was a new face now.

Han Xiao and the seller stared at each other for a while, confirming each other's identity in silence—who else would stare blankly at someone without saying a word, unless they were just bored? The seller entered a password and pushed the case toward Han Xiao, opening it.

Inside was a ring-shaped small device, with various wires exposed to the air and a complex structure. In the center was a raised cylinder with a black metal casing, and faint red lights flickered in the gaps. This was the Bonfire Miniature Reactor, an energy core that could automatically generate electricity through solar energy and concentrated fuel. It was an advanced piece of energy branch equipment and also a Superhuman weapon; physical strength could also be used as fuel and converted into energy.

Self-charging batteries could save a lot of trouble when it came to resupply. For mechs, they were a core material. It would be embarrassing to have to change batteries halfway through a fight.

Han Xiao touched it to confirm that it was the real thing and not a model. He took out his palmtop computer, paid the seller through his dark web account with swift movements, and then immediately said, "Run!"

Immediately afterward, Han Xiao ignored the seller's reaction, grabbed the Bonfire Miniature Reactor, threw it into his backpack, stood up abruptly, drew the Mad Eagle, and fired at the surveillance targets he had identified.

In fact, the Ordifen agent monitoring the situation was preparing to take action the moment the transaction was completed, but Han Xiao was a second faster and struck first!

Large-caliber steel-core bullets leaped from the muzzle in a flash of fire. The kinetic energy within dozens of meters was no less than that of a sniper bullet. Several surveillance agents who were hit were sent flying.

They wore bulletproof vests and were well-trained, but they were just ordinary warriors without any Qi. Han Xiao was a level 55 Mechanic, and his firearm stats had been specifically enhanced. He also had various affinity skills that increased the power of his mechanical creations. One shot was enough to make these surveillance agents lose their combat effectiveness, severely injured and unable to move.

The seller didn't hesitate and immediately crashed through the window. Broken glass fell to the ground with a clatter. He fled frantically, agilely striding several meters in one step. He was also a Superhuman.

Han Xiao fled in the other direction; splitting up could divide the enemy's forces.

"Damn it, what's the background of the buyer!" The Ordifen operation commander was furious. He had imagined that the buyer would not be so strong and would not be able to detect the danger in advance. Han Xiao's sudden attack had disrupted the plan. The operation commander immediately ordered the prepared agents and soldiers to move out. The standby troops were divided into two groups to track the seller and Han Xiao separately.

There was standing water on the street, and Han Xiao quickly passed by, kicking up large splashes.

Dense footsteps sounded around him. Agents appeared from alleys and buildings, firing in his direction. Pedestrians on the street screamed and dodged.

The Magnetic-Controlled Armor clad him, and bullets pinged and clanged off, creating sparks. Han Xiao held a gun in each hand, and as he slid, he shot down the agents who showed their faces, hitting every shot.

Han Xiao suddenly felt a lag in his footsteps. The standing water had actually wrapped around his calves, slowing him down.

"Ordifen's Superhuman agents have taken action." Han Xiao's eyes flashed. The information on the panel had already told him the identity of the enemy: an esper with a level around 30.

Two martial artist agents rushed out from the side of the street, taking advantage of Han Xiao's slowdown to approach quickly, their fists and feet wrapped in Qi flames as they struck down.

With the enemy close, Han Xiao's expression did not change. He activated the Sunworm's Concentrated Spray, and thick, orange-red flames burst forth from the edge of his palm, engulfing the two martial artists. The continuous damage was very high. The two martial artist agents cried out miserably and hurriedly backed away.

The flames mixed with the rain and turned into white mist, which also emitted a sizzling sound of evaporation, obstructing the agents' vision.

Han Xiao activated the Electromagnetic Skateshoes at full power, tearing apart all the clinging standing water and retreating at high speed. He quickly moved out of range of the water control esper's ability. He didn't want to get entangled with the other party's agents in Ordifen's territory.

At this moment, the sound of engines suddenly rang out. Two black police cars rushed out of the intersection in front of him, quite large, similar to RVs. They drifted and braked sharply, stopping at the intersection and blocking Han Xiao's path. The wheels kicked up water, drawing an arc, so the sides of the cars faced Han Xiao.

Large-caliber gun barrels stretched out from the car windows and fired at the same time, with flames extending half a meter.

The bullets expanded in his vision, and Han Xiao was hit head-on. These guns were all large-caliber submachine guns, and there were also a few shotguns, which had a knock-back effect. Even with the protection of the armor, he was staggered by the kinetic energy of the bullets, and sparks flew.

Information flashed on the panel: the enemy's identity was Ordifen's special forces.

Han Xiao hurriedly changed direction. The Skateshoes stepped on the buildings on the side of the street and slid over the roofs of the two RVs. The special forces in the car hurriedly got out and fired at him. The bullets chased his rapidly moving figure, leaving a dense row of bullet holes on the outer wall of the building. Han Xiao took out a sonic grenade, bit open the safety pin, and threw it into the center of the RVs. The special forces hurriedly scattered and lay down to take cover, but the grenade's sound waves ignored the obstacles and spread out with a hum. The special forces were stunned on the spot. Han Xiao turned his head and shot out a few shots, blowing out the tires of the cars, and sped away.

The cameras along the way were shot down by Han Xiao, but agents drove more and more cars to chase after him, and some cars detoured to intercept him from the front. In terms of absolute speed, the Electromagnetic Skateshoes were still no match for these speeding cars. Han Xiao did not choose to take the main road. The Electromagnetic Skateshoes could ignore obstacles. He repeatedly shook off the pursuers by climbing over walls and up buildings, but there were always new cars blocking him in front. Ordifen had deployed a large number of people in these blocks.

"How do they always find me?" Han Xiao had a flash of inspiration. As he slid, he looked back and saw three unmanned aerial drones tracking him in the high sky. No wonder the enemies were always able to keep up with him. He drew the Red Falcon and blew up the drones with three shots.

The Ordifen operation commander slammed the table angrily. Another team had lost track of the seller, and now only Han Xiao was the last target, but the other party was too difficult to deal with. The deployed personnel could not do anything to him.

"Meg, take him down!"

…

Having shaken off the last few cars, Han Xiao was jumping between buildings, preparing to find a hidden place to change his face and clothes, when suddenly, a burst of shotgun pellets shot out from a high place and hit his back. The small pellets exploded, and thick smoke and flames erupted.

Han Xiao was blasted directly into the wall, and lime and bricks shattered all over the ground.

The close-range explosion made Han Xiao a little deafened. He frowned, shook off the lime on his head, and looked up. A figure was standing on the rooftop of a building, wearing a bulletproof vest and covered from head to toe in waterproof magazine pouches, bulging with equipment. He had various guns hanging on him, four pistols on his waist and thighs, and a sniper rifle and two different models of assault rifles hanging on his back. He was holding a shotgun in his hand, with wisps of smoke coming from the muzzle.

The damage from this shot exceeded the attributes of ordinary guns. Han Xiao glanced at the panel information and was secretly surprised.

"Gunner?"
