Chapter 10: The Night Lords(B)
Hela quickly contacted the chief and relayed the captain of Team A's words. On the phone, the chief's breathing grew ragged, as if suppressing anger.
“You immediately turn around and give me pursuit.”
Hela was reluctant. “My sister ......”
“Shut up. You're in no position to bargain with me.”
Hela bit her lip reluctantly and ordered the pilot, “Turn around and go back to the base!”
“Executive Officer Hela, the plane needs to land and refuel first.”
“Hurry up.”
......
The Night Lords squad received the chief's order halfway. A few SUVs turned back, opened the base's gate from the outside, and the agents who had been locked inside walked out with downcast faces.
Looking at the sorry state of the base, No.1 was filled with shock and anger. His complexion was a mix of disbelief. Pointing at the captain of Team A, he said angrily, “Dozens of you couldn't stop him alone? Is there a mole among you!”
He couldn't believe he couldn't do it, and likewise, he couldn't believe Han Xiao could.
The guards' faces paled. No one could afford to be accused of betraying the organization.
“Alright, stop arguing. The chief ordered us to pursue,” Silver Blade interrupted. His face was cold as he led the Night Lords team members to the cars.
“Wait, our Experimental Body Squad is going too,” No.1 exclaimed, leading his team members onto two other cars. He had always considered himself the perfect test subject and had been very disdainful of Han Xiao, whose codename preceded his. However, Han Xiao's battle record had inevitably plunged him into self - doubt, and he was annoyed. No.1 felt that the only way to prove his worth to the organization was to defeat Han Xiao.
From start to finish, the Night Lords Squad paid no attention to the surviving guards. Their indifferent and dismissive attitude clearly showed that they also thought the dozens of guards couldn't stop Han Xiao; they were simply a bunch of losers.
The guards were indignant.
“When they actually run into Zero, they'll know what they're up against.”
The group of guards secretly hoped that Zero would manage to escape. If even the Night Lords Squad failed, wouldn't their mistake seem more excusable?

As night fell, through the gaps in the trees, several asteroid outlines in the sky could be seen, emitting a hazy blue light. Several “moons” of different shapes and sizes were ethereal and mysterious, and the starry river was dazzling and breathtakingly beautiful.
Each planet in the star sea had a different environmental style. In his past life, there were specialized leisure players who loved interstellar travel. They would take pictures of the beautiful scenery of different planets, compile them into an atlas, and even sell them on the official forum, which were very popular.
At this time, the moonlight had difficulty penetrating the woods, and the visibility was very poor.
Han Xiao drove carefully, afraid of hitting a tree. Night was not in his favor. The sound of the engine gave away his position, and the darkness limited his speed.
“Driving at night is too risky. It's better to go on foot,” Han Xiao decided. He parked the car, pulled out the key, and turned off the engine.
Without the engine noise, the silence of the forest immediately engulfed him. The shadows of the trees under the moonlight resembled hidden, ghostly hands, and the atmosphere was eerie.
[You obtain military compressed cookies X5, mineral water X3]
There were a few bottles of water and military compressed cookies in the car's trunk. Han Xiao put them all in his bag and walked into the forest alone. The car had left tracks on the forest dirt road, and he had no way to erase them. So, he could only get out of the car and escape in a different direction.
Without the car, the night became his protective cover.
His body was tired, with little stamina left, but Han Xiao didn't dare to rest. He wasn't completely out of danger yet.
“Buzz - buzz -”
After walking for a while, the sound of a car engine came from behind. Han Xiao quickly hid behind a tree and peeked out. He saw six beams of headlights flickering in the forest, driving in three different directions.
“Three cars of enemies!” Han Xiao pursed his lips. Abandoning the car and fleeing had made the enemy lose their trail, forcing the pursuers to split up and search.
Han Xiao quietly sneaked around and moved in another direction.
Suddenly, a gunshot shattered the night's silence!
Han Xiao's heart jolted. He flung himself to the ground. His shoulder felt like it was on fire. Turning his head to look, his right shoulder had been grazed by a bullet, leaving a bloodstain. A hole had been shot in the trunk of a tree more than ten meters away.
A car stopped more than three hundred meters away. The entire third squad of Night Lords got out of the car, wearing monogrammed pitch - black goggles. The one who had fired the shot was none other than the captain, Silver Blade, holding a sniper rifle.
“Six laser - like eyes?!” Han Xiao was startled by their appearance and immediately realized, “It's night vision!”
Han Xiao cursed his bad luck and quickly hid behind a tree.
[You were grazed on your right shoulder by the SWP sniper rifle! Received 18 points of damage!]
“Damn, just a graze from a sniper rifle, and the damage is on par with a pistol shot,” he thought.
[You enter combat, and based on your level, you gain detailed information about the enemy!]
