Chapter 171 Situation

Being on the battlefield wasn't the best time to advance, of course he would leave the battlefield to a safe place before considering that.

He dealt with the other information first, such as the settlement of the Battle of Tadamia River. His final evaluation was B, earning him 450,000 experience points, more than he expected. The accumulated experience on the panel was several million.

The progress of the Grade A mission [Seed Sleeps in Dust] increased by 2% in one fell swoop. Actively destroying them was more fruitful. This Germination evacuation force was a large force mixed from various sub-bases. Star Dragon Sea Xia crippled them, and he could also get a share of the pie.

The total progress reached 21%, meeting the requirements for successful mission completion. There was no more progress to be gained in the Southern Continent. The interception war of today would also be staged in the Western and Northern Continents, and it was estimated that the progress would increase somewhat. If he wanted to increase the progress further, he could only go to the Germination's main base, the Andia Continent.

Since there was still progress to be made in the future, Han Xiao would naturally not end [Seed Sleeps in Dust] immediately. The minimum standard was 20%, and he had already completed it, which gave him confidence. Since he could settle the mission at any time, he was not in a hurry to complete the mission and wanted to try to get a higher evaluation.

According to his experience, the higher the rating of Grade A missions, the more special rewards would be in the end, not just experience points. Skills, talents, potential points, special props, and even direct reward attribute points were all possible.

Driving the truck, Han Xiao arrived at the location where the Dark Net organization's helicopter was parked. The pilot was already on standby. He packed up the useful machinery on the truck and threw it onto the helicopter, then blew up the truck to leave no trace.

The truck cost him a lot of money, but his account had plenty of funds. He didn't care about the money for a car. As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Han Xiao was glad that he had a way to make money. The player market had great potential, and he didn't need to worry about wealth in a short time. He didn't want to experience the tight days of playing a mechanic class again.

"They all say that men get bad when they have money, that's so true." Han Xiao sighed, took a few puffs of his cigarette, sat on the plane, and ordered the pilot to take off.

The rotor blades stirred up a strong wind, and the earth in his sight gradually shrank. Han Xiao retracted his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.

…

The dark sea was surging with waves, and the sea breeze carried a bloody smell.

Having gotten rid of the pursuit, the Germination fleet sailed on the boundless sea. The main ship turned on anti-detection devices to prevent being discovered by satellites.

There were many unowned orbital satellites in the outer space of Aquamarine Star, all left over from the destroyed countries of the old era. Some of these satellites were taken over by the Six Nations, some fell into the hands of other forces, some became "public satellites" for hackers, and some became space junk.

Each ship was marked with scorched marks from the explosions. Repairmen were busy repairing, nailing steel plates to the gaps, and repairing damaged mechanical components, while idle armed personnel cleaned the deck and washed away blood stains.

Breaking through the blockade line caused heavy losses. Seventeen Execution Officers died alone. Han Xiao killed three of the Execution Officers alone. Lin Yu reported the battle to the leader, focusing on this matter.

The leader was very surprised by Black Phantom's intervention, and at the same time very annoyed. This made him feel that Germination had become a toothless tiger, and anyone dared to bully them. Therefore, he hated Zero even more.

He disrupted the organization's layout and dragged the organization into danger. The leader occasionally recalled Zero's dialogue when he escaped from the laboratory. The traitor carried out his promise. Every time he thought about it, he became even more annoyed.

However, the leader only asked people to add Black Phantom to the observation list. He didn't have more energy to pay attention to a small killer now. The organization's next plan was the big problem the leader was facing.

The evacuation of all the sub-bases in the three continents meant the loss of initiative. Without any worries, the Six Nations were likely to seize this good opportunity to take the lead in launching a war, taking advantage of the victory to pursue and launch an expedition to Andia. This was not what the leader wanted to see. The organization was badly damaged, and he urgently needed time to recuperate, and Zero, who had predictive abilities, must be eliminated.

Germination had been operating on the Andia Continent for a long time. If the Six Nations were to attack, they would have no choice but to launch an ocean landing operation.

Launch intercontinental nuclear bombs? Not to mention that there were still civilians living on the Andia Continent, Germination also had land-based anti-missile facilities. If pushed into a corner, they would simply activate the Dead Hand system. World peace, perish together… Of course, this was the last resort and could not be used as a trump card. Even if they used this as a threat, the Six Nations would not allow Germination to develop.

Perhaps Red Maple, O’dyfenna, and Hai Xia would compromise in stages and then engage in conspiracies behind their backs, but Tilius’s reckless man and Ruilan’s madman would definitely have no scruples, refusing any form of compromise, and would only launch more fierce counterattacks — want to perish together? You can try, if I even frown I lose.

In the original plot, the four continents were all battlefields for the Six Nations and Germination. Those secret sub-bases restrained the Six Nations and had a great impact on the war, just like the difference between holding a straight flush that can only be played by chance and a bomb when playing fight the landlord.

When the war became fierce, Germination was defeated and almost destroyed before exposing the Dead Hand system. Because there were not many armed forces left, some politicians from the Six Nations chose to compromise. In the eyes of some people, the goal of defeating Germination had been achieved, and there was no need to fight head-on anymore. Moreover, the Six Nations had also suffered losses, and they decided to focus on containment, indirectly allowing the remaining Germination to stay on the Andia Continent — after all, it was a deserted place that no one wanted. Although they couldn't completely eradicate it, they were also preventing a resurgence.

But now the situation was that the nails that restrained the Six Nations had been removed, and Germination had lost powerful means of threatening the Six Nations, such as massacring civilians and destroying cities on a large scale. With only the main base of the Andia Continent left, the Six Nations could twist their strength into one rope and launch an expedition at will, putting Germination in a very bad situation.

The top priority was to divert the attention of the Six Nations and prevent them from having the time and resources to launch a war. The leader thought again and again, but there was no good way. There was really no opportunity to create big news.

"Leader, Base 013 has an urgent piece of information about a recently successful test subject of the [Gene Improvement Project]. This is the observation record." An assistant handed over a piece of information.

The leader's head hurt when he heard the word "test subject" now. He took the information and glanced at it, then suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, the assistant added, "Cases like him have appeared in more than one person. The following is a list. After investigation by intelligence personnel, this phenomenon seems to be happening on a large scale and is spreading like an infectious disease."

The leader was silent for a long time, seemingly digesting the contents of the information. A cold laugh with an unknown meaning suddenly came from under the mask.

"A strange phenomenon, maybe luck is on our side. The Six Nations are going to be busy."

…

In a room on the ship, the light bulb was dim and flickering unstablely. Hela took off her black combat uniform and counted the wounds on her body in front of the mirror. The most conspicuous was a scabbed bullet hole in her side ribs. The black, congealed bloodstains were shocking.

Hela was expressionless and rubbed it a few times with her fingers. The scab fell off, revealing tender new flesh.

She looked at her figure in the mirror. Her skin was smooth and white, without any old scars. Only she remembered how many serious injuries she had suffered.

Hela lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her eyes. She put on her clothes again, looked at the dark sea outside the porthole, and remained silent.

Living, waiting for the next battle.

…

Zhang Wei's team took a Thirteenth Bureau special plane back. Except for Zhang Wei, who was writing the report, the other members of the team closed their eyes to rest and relieve the fatigue after the battle.

"Do you think… how did Han Xiao become Black Phantom?" Li Yalin suddenly opened her eyes, her tone puzzled.

"What, Brother Xiao is Black Phantom?!" Lin Yao was shocked. He didn't participate in the battle, so he didn't know about this.

Zhang Wei told him what happened.

Lin Yao was stunned. After being stunned for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person…"

"I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes!" Li Yalin sneered. As a debtor, she was so confident.

"Aren't we going to bring him back?"

"His departure was very strange at the beginning. He must have been shouldering a secret mission. I'll ask the higher-ups when I submit the report later." Zhang Wei shook his head.

Li Yalin couldn't help but say, "Help me ask when he plans to pay back the money…"

Zhang Wei was speechless.

"Little Linlin~ You don't look injured." Di Su Su, who was on the same plane, walked over. Li Yalin's face suddenly collapsed. She snorted arrogantly and turned her head away, ignoring her.

Di Su Su was not polite either. She squeezed away the shy Lin Yao and sat next to Li Yalin, wearing a teasing and provocative smile. Li Yalin hurriedly moved away, as if Di Su Su was a source of viral infection.

Di Su Su just liked to see Li Yalin's uncomfortable appearance of avoiding her like a snake. She chuckled, turned her eyes away, and asked curiously, "I just heard you talking about Black Phantom? I heard he participated in the battle. I met him once before."
