Crew A and Crew B arrived on the grotesque scene on the second flooring.

“Vice-commander Baltar has been killed‽”

“What precisely occurred right here?”

“The place’s the enemy?”

“Why is the surveillance room not responding‽”

“Inform Professor Lin Wei Xian instantly!”

“Crew C has found Professor Lin Wei Xian’s physique!”

“Oh my god…”

All of the guards gasped in worry. Was all of this actually achieved by Zero alone? All of the commanders have been both out or lifeless, and so they realized that there was nobody left to present them orders.

“Wasn’t he brainwashed already‽ Has he been planning this from the very begin?”

The considered it despatched chills down their spines; Han Xiao might have taken their lives anytime he needed!

“Don’t panic. There’s just one enemy. Proceed with a sweep of the power. Fireplace at will. Crew A will head to the armory, Crew B, take a look at the surveillance room. Crew C, go shield the laboratory. Crew D, fortify the primary gate. If Zero needs to flee he’ll need to go there. Now, go!”

The Crew A pacesetter rose as much as the event to present the orders.

There have been a complete of sixty guards within the base grouped into 4 groups. Often, they have been scattered, however this was an emergency.

Sadly, Han Xiao was studying them like a e book.

Bang!

A loud crash got here from above, and the whole facility began to tremble.

“What’s happening‽” requested the panicked Crew A pacesetter via his intercom.

The sound of gunfire intermixed with panicked yelling might be heard from the opposite finish.

“Crew C has encountered the enemy within the lab. I repeat, Crew C has encountered the enemy within the lab. Rattling it! Zero set the lab on fireplace with a grenade!”

“The place did he get the grenade from‽”

The Crew A pacesetter was each enraged and horrified. His crew had been standing guard exterior the armory, however that they had seen nobody the whole time.

“Ship reinforcements shortly! Which crew is nearest?”

“Crew B can be at basement 3. The surveillance room has been wiped. We’re coming over proper now!”

…

In Basement 3, Han Xiao was hiding behind a nook close to the laboratory whereas the hearth raged inside. He had used three hand grenades to set the lab on fireplace. Presently, there have been a dozen guards from Crew C that had suspected his presence and have been advancing on him.

After his battle with Baltar, Han Xiao had not headed for the primary gate instantly. As a substitute, he had gone again right down to basement 3, predicting that the guards would conduct a sweep of the power from the highest.

Because it was now not potential to sneak out as he had deliberate, Han Xiao needed to change his ways. Right here within the laboratory at basement 3 was the place all of the Valkyrie information was saved, making it one of many key areas of the whole facility. He knew that setting it ablaze would trigger the enemy to panic.

I nonetheless have 77 bullets and 5 customized grenades.

Han Xiao reevaluated his stock earlier than peeking out from the nook for simply an instantaneous. Bullets have been fired nearly immediately.

Twelve guards. Three N9 submachine weapons, 9 73-WASP handguns. I’m outclassed in firepower.

Han Xiao’s thoughts raced. It had been a minute since he set the laboratory on fireplace. Crew B would arrive inside three minutes, so he didn’t have a lot time left. Han Xiao knew all of this as a result of he had been eavesdropping on a stolen intercom.

Every part had occurred so abruptly that the guards didn’t cease to think about this risk.

Han Xiao tossed out a grenade, inflicting the Crew C guards to frantically leap for canopy.

Bang!

Han Xiao used the smoke of the blast to sneak up onto the closest guard. He gave him a mecha punch within the abdomen, crippling him.

“Shoot! Rapidly! Shoot!”

The opposite guards resumed capturing. Han Xiao yanked the poor guard up to make use of as a protect, and whereas this didn’t cease them from capturing, Han Xiao was in a position to shut the gap, and he swiftly dispatched of one other three guards.

The remaining Crew C guards scattered additional again to tug other than him. Han Xiao rolled and ducked as he closed in on them. The mecha arm’s sturdiness plummeted as bullets rained upon it. As Han Xiao evaded, he pulled out his handgun to return fireplace and scored three extra kills.

Instantly, Han Xiao grimaced.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

If not for Baltar’s ‘coaching’, he would positively not have the ability to endure the ache.

Han Xiao grit his tooth and threw out one other grenade.

Bang!

The blast of the grenade induced Han Xiao’s ears to ring in ache. He growled it off and proceeded together with his onslaught.

One minute later, Crew C now not existed. Han Xiao proceeded to bandage his wounds. He had misplaced 110 HP – greater than a 3rd of his max HP.

“A head-on assault is just too pricey. If solely I had lively abilities…”

“Crew C, Crew C, please reply. What’s the state of affairs?” requested a guard over the intercom.

Han Xiao pinched his throat and replied, “Cough, cough. Crew C has suffered heavy losses. Now we have trapped the goal contained in the lab. The goal has been shot. Please ship reinforcements shortly!”

He then picked a submachine gun on the ground and casually sprayed it to create the phantasm of a fierce battle.

“Roger that. Please maintain on. Crew B is on the best way!”

The guard didn’t doubt him in any respect. As Han Xiao’s silent act was deeply ingrained of their minds, the concept that he might make use of such ways merely didn’t happen to them.

Han Xiao proceeded to tie his three remaining hand grenades collectively and hung them on the door of the laboratory. He then hid behind a desk and loaded three submachine weapons earlier than firing his handgun a number of instances to create the phantasm of a crossfire.

Footsteps approached and the door was kicked opened.

Kaboom!

As quickly because the guards started to scream, Han Xiao rushed ahead beneath the quilt of the smoke and caught two SMGs out of the door to open fireplace onto both aspect. Though imaginative and prescient was restricted, Han Xiao might hear his photographs touchdown, and when he had emptied his clip, the guards have been now not making any sound.

The usual tactic to assault a room was for one particular person to kick the door whereas the others hid on both aspect. Because the guards within the base weren’t an elite squad, Han Xiao had recognized that they’d make use of this tactic. Though most of Crew B had been fortunate to outlive the primary spherical of grenades, they have been unable to cover from the following storm of bullets.

His interface lit up like loopy.

When the smoke cleared, Han Xiao noticed that three guards remained. After they noticed Han Xiao emerge from the room, their eyes grew huge with shock and worry.

Is that this actually that dim-witted Zero‽

Han Xiao fired three consecutive photographs to complete them off.

“What was that explosion? What’s happening‽” Crew A’s chief shouted via the intercom.

Han Xiao randomly picked up a number of scattered weapons and fired them round casually.

“Crew B is beneath ambush! We’re engaged with the enemy within the experiment lab. Requesting help! Requesting help!”

“Crew A is coming proper now!” One thing appeared off about the whole state of affairs to him, however he couldn’t work out what.

It was solely once they reached basement 3 did the Crew A pacesetter lastly notice what was bothering him, and he hurriedly ordered, “All guards, pay attention up. Zero might need infiltrated our comms. Any further, solely take orders from me!”

It abruptly grew to become obvious that Zero might be baiting them. In spite of everything, they hadn’t heard of another Crew B member talking since then.

An unbelievable notion occurred to the Crew A pacesetter; did Zero already wipe out each Crew B and Crew C?

The notion induced him to shiver.

If that was what had occurred, it could imply that Zero had worn out over half of the whole base’s guards alone! Though he was unwilling to imagine the concept, all the things pointed to the truth that it certainly what had occurred!

Was Zero baiting them? Or was he attempting to divide them whereas he made a run for the primary gate?

“Crew D, any abnormalities on the foremost gate?” he requested via the intercom.

“None but.”

The Crew A pacesetter sighed a breath of reduction. He couldn’t let Zero play them for a idiot any longer. The state of affairs at current was already extraordinarily unhealthy. He knew that hoping to kill Zero now was now not practical, and that he needed to inform Hila ASAP.

“Crew A, pay attention up. Return to the primary gate proper now!”

He determined it could be higher to assemble all of the remaining individuals to fortify the primary gate. There, they may merely look forward to reinforcements. This was the plan that appeared most secure and surest to him.

It doesn’t matter what Zero’s purpose was, his destiny could be sealed so long as he had nowhere to run!
