Han Xiao swept into the heart of the enemy position, bullets pinging off his armor. The bulletproof film and armor provided formidable defense, and flattened bullet heads bounced away.

Kicking a soldier aside, he snatched a multi-barreled machine gun and sprayed the crowd, the eerie blue mechanical force crackling with electricity wrapped around the gun, stimulating the internal components, greatly increasing the firing rate and power. The sweeping fire repeatedly triggered [Lethal Shot], and kill notifications flooded the screen as Germination soldiers fell one after another.

Surrounding troops rushed to encircle him, and a dozen soldiers armed with grenade launchers opened fire. The rifle grenades arced through the air toward Han Xiao's position, but as soon as they appeared, Han Xiao stepped out, cracking the ground, and used the reaction force to leap high into the air, dodging the fiery explosions.

Boom boom boom!

Various combat vehicles intercepted, and the sounds of gunfire roared incessantly. The acrid smell of gunpowder filled the air, a scene comparable to a small war unfolding on the position, yet the opponent was only Han Xiao!

The performance of Viper · Modified, combined with his stats, made him nearly unstoppable, as he rampaged through the hail of gunfire. Combat vehicles were smashed and sent flying. He completely dominated, and the soldiers on the position were routed.

Whoosh—

Two search-and-rescue armed helicopters arrived, their mounted cannons spitting flames as bullets relentlessly pursued Han Xiao, controlling the aerial advantage. Han Xiao glanced up, the chip swiftly analyzing the helicopter's movement path and optimal firing angle, displaying it on the tactical screen. Without hesitation, he removed the Ghost Gauss Sniper Rifle from his back, unfolding it from its collapsed state with a flick, and pulled the trigger almost without aiming.

An eerie blue thread streaked across the sky, piercing the helicopter through the cockpit window and disappearing into the distance.

The pilot was killed instantly, and the helicopter, out of control, began to fall, crashing into the depth of the area, scooping up large amounts of soil. The fuselage caved in, and the rapidly rotating rotor blades propelled the plane, rolling down the slope and slamming into the position like a giant pendulum, tearing through barbed wire, crushing more than a dozen soldiers. With a loud bang, it crashed into a bunker, breaking it in two. Lime dust filled the air in a shocking display. The falling helicopter carved a deserted path, littered with wreckage.

A broken rotor blade flew out and landed in front of the stunned players. Ever since they realized that Zero was Black Phantom, they had been in a state of chaos.

All those legendary deeds were the work of one person—a true protagonist of the planet!

The players were very familiar with Black Phantom, who constantly made his presence known. Now that the mysterious veil had finally been lifted, the players were excited as if they had discovered a new continent.

The clever ones immediately started recording and uploading the footage to the forum.

"Wait, if he's Black Phantom..." A player finally reacted, looking at the reduced favorability information on the panel. It was as if they had encountered a thousand-year-old arctic gale, and their excited blood instantly cooled and froze.

Holy mother of flying carpets, negative thirty favorability with Black Phantom, how long will it take to grind that back up!

The Germination players' mental state collapsed.

We haven't even experienced the benefits of Black Phantom yet! We've been looking forward to it for so long. Now it's over, we can never expect it, not even a glimmer of hope!

One by one, the players stood dumbfounded, their expressions turning pale, and suddenly lost their dreams.

Germination sucks, give me back my youth!

Amidst the fierce battle, Han Xiao glanced at the players and slightly curved his lips.

In his plan, this group of players played the role of "reporters," responsible for uploading the recording of his revealed identity to the forum to spread the influence. His actions as "Black Phantom" and "Zero" would merge into one, which would definitely greatly shock the players and ferment into a viral topic on the forum for a while.

Currently, there were not many NPCs that could impress the players. He would create a big news story to take advantage of the situation, establish his position in the players' hearts, and his fame would skyrocket, bringing countless benefits in the future.

Revealing his identity by taking advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble at the Germination headquarters was natural and seamless, the timing was perfect, and it would definitely go viral. The new legend degree was basically guaranteed.

Weapons were everywhere, and machinery could exert greater power in the hands of a mechanic. Han Xiao did not lack ranged attack methods, and he began his massacre.

"Prolonged fighting is not good for me, the mechanical suit's energy is dropping quickly. It's best to clear an area and steal a vehicle to escape," Han Xiao secretly decided on his plan.

"Kill him!"

Suddenly, a powerful aura approached. Ke De'er roared, his body engulfed in raging flames, leading a group of executioners closer.

Han Xiao's eyes narrowed. The directional repulsion drive of the wrist module accumulated energy, and his right fist swept horizontally, opening like a large bow. The posture froze for a moment, and the whole person seemed to be "locked," as a strong momentum rose.

The next second, like an arrow released from a bowstring, he punched the air in front of him.

Boom—

A full and thick repulsion shockwave erupted from his fist, rumbling like a tide, sweeping away everything in front of him. People and vehicles were squeezed away, flying out with cracking sounds. This punch was like a martial artist's separated wave. Ke De'er and the executioner formation behind him were instantly disrupted.

Taking advantage of this moment of chaos, Han Xiao locked onto Ke De'er, whose life signal was the strongest. Carrying a reckless momentum, he pounced on Ke De'er, who could not dodge in time, knocking him to the ground. He straddled him, his biochemical muscles swelling up. The electrothermal cutting gauntlet and Sunworms were activated, and his fists, amplified by eighty points of strength, smashed down with flames, spraying blood everywhere.

After a dozen punches, Ke De'er's face was covered in blood. He roared, and his body exploded with flames, sending Han Xiao flying into the air.

Han Xiao drew the Ghost Gauss Sniper Rifle while airborne and activated [Will Burning].

The dangerous aura emanating from the muzzle froze Ke De'er's intention to counterattack, making his hair stand on end.

Buzz—

The damage was off the charts, directly clearing Ke De'er's remaining health.

The bullet left a blue tracer in the air, leaving a transparent blood hole in Ke De'er's brow, freezing his terrified expression.

[You killed Ke De'er (lv55), you gained 142000 experience]

[You gained 25 trial points.]

"A level 55 character actually has so many trial points!" Han Xiao was overjoyed.

After taking down the strongest member of the southern position, Han Xiao began a mowing mode for the next few dozen seconds, crushing the remaining enemies like a self-propelled bomb. The enormous power of his hands and feet shattered and sent flying anything that blocked his path. A Class C Super could directly confront the troops.

Overwhelming strength was what allowed him to be so reckless.

He cleared a clearing with ease, opening a gap in the position.

"He really forced his way out!" Hela suppressed her shock and finally remembered Han Xiao's instructions, leading Aurora to follow.

Snatching an armored off-road vehicle, the three got into the car. Han Xiao slammed on the gas, the off-road vehicle roared and crashed through the roadblocks, speeding away into the Andea Wilderness under the night, leaving a trail of injured and disabled at the position.

The players received the mission failure notification, but no one cared. They were now wholeheartedly immersed in the shocking truth that Zero was Black Phantom.

The headquarters' main control room was silent, everyone looking at the chaotic scene on the screen, shocked and speechless. The leader's chest rose and fell rapidly. Although he wore a mask, making it impossible to see his expression, everyone around him could feel his anger and shock.

"I've been sending people to search for his whereabouts, but I didn't expect... he wasn't hiding at all." The leader felt a suffocating fire that was difficult to express, almost unable to breathe, feeling that he had been completely and utterly played.

The assistant tentatively asked, "Sh-should we still pursue him?"

The leader said decisively, "Pursue him. Recall all the executioners and the organization's high-level combat forces stationed outside. Mobilize all standby troops. Seal off the wilderness area to hunt down the target. Authorization to use short-range missiles!"

At the same time, the video uploaded by the Germination players caused a huge uproar on the forum.
