Helen Harry’s cell phone suddenly rang. She frowned and picked up the call. “Who is it?”
“Director Helen Harry, something happened at the base. Zero lost control/ He killed Dr. Henry York and destroyed the experimental base.”
Captain Schiska sounded dejected. He knew that they were definitely going to take the blame for not doing their job well. Their lives were probably in danger too.
If they kept it a secret now, the organization would punish them severely.
Helen Harry was stunned. “Are you joking?”
She had personally brainwashed Zero. Was he faking it back then?
The brainwashing effect of the other experimental subjects did not have any problems at all.
Had she been deceived right from the start?
Helen Harry hurriedly contacted the leader and repeated Captain Schiska’s message. On the phone, the leader’s breathing grew heavy. It sounded as if he was suppressing his anger.
“Bring everyone back right now. I want to see Zero’s body, be it alive or dead!”
Helen Harry was very reluctant. “What about the mission?”
“The mission is suspended. The only mission now is to capture Zero. Execute all the guards in the base when you go back.”
Helen Harry bit her lips without saying anything. She was very disgusted with the leader’s orders.
But the leader was fuming now, so she did not want to aggravate things further.
She shouted at the pilot unwillingly, “Turn around quickly and return to the base!”
…
The moonlight could not penetrate the dense forest, so the visibility was very low.
Elrond drove carefully, afraid that he would crash into a tree. The night was disadvantageous for him. The sound of the engine exposed his position, and he could not drive too fast in the dark.
“It’s too obvious to drive at night and will easily attract the enemies.”
Elrond decided to abandon the car. He stopped the car, pulled out the keys, and turned off the engine.
Without the sound of the engine, the silence of the forest instantly surrounded him. The shadows of the trees under the moonlight were like ghostly hands, giving off a mysterious atmosphere.
Without the car, the dark night instantly became his camouflage.
He summoned the full-body exoskeleton mecha and put it on.
The speed of the mechanical legs could reach 62 miles per hour, which was a considerably fast speed.
In the darkness, a figure constantly shuttered around the forest.
He heard buzzing sounds as he ran.
Three military gunships appeared above his head.
“That’s fast. There’re so many people,” Elrond said, pursing his lips.
He did not expect the enemy’s reaction to be this fast.
They sent three military gunships to chase after him.
Wasn’t this making a mountain out of a molehill?
Elrond moved stealthily in another direction.
The lights of the military gunship shone on him at this moment.
“There’s trouble…” Elrond’s face was solemn.
He had been discovered.
The forest at night was pitch-dark, and a wolf howl came from afar.
Together with the military gunships in the sky, he was in a desperate situation.
There was nothing he could do but to kill all the enemies now.
Suddenly, Elrond thought of a plan.
Guerilla warfare was something that everyone knew about in his previous life.
Using the darkness as a camouflage, Elrond was a small target.
Guerilla warfare was obviously the best way to do it.
He ran forward quickly, looking for a suitable spot to lay an ambush.
The three military gunships kept chasing after him.
However, with Elrond’s excellent dodging skills, he managed to shake off the gunships’ detection.
At the same time, on the three military gunships.
Fully-armed enemies leaped down from the gunships.
These people were all experimental subjects.
They had been injected with the Sideria No. 1 reagent, just like Elrond.
Each person’s combat ability was very strong.
They were much stronger than the guards in the experimental base.
After the experimental subject team landed on the ground, they started to search the forest exhaustively for Elrond’s traces.
Elrond laid quietly in the forest. His eyes narrowed, and he had a saber and rifle by his side.
Suddenly, bright lights shone from afar.
There was a flashlight in each experimental subject’s hand, and they were searching for him.
“They’re here,” Elrond said calmly, as though he was receiving a guest at home.
His mechanical arm quickly turned into a powerful sniper rifle.
Elrond pulled the bolt, used the sniper scope to search for his target, and carefully adjusted the vision.
He held his breath and focused. He aimed for eight seconds before he pulled the trigger!
The yellow sniper bullet jumped out of the muzzle amid the flames, flying through the gaps in the forest. In the blink of an eye, it flew over hundreds of miles and accurately hit the enemy’s head.
“Bang!”
Following that, the enemy fell.
One of the team members steeled his heart and quickly stood up before dropping to the ground. He wanted to lure the sniper to reveal his position, but a bullet fatally struck his heart in an instant. Blood spilled, and the propulsion sent him flying for several miles. He went completely silent after he landed and his death instantly dispelled the other team members’ thoughts of imitating his action.
One felt a chill run down his spine. Who was the enemy with such accurate shooting skills?
Test Subject One was the most successful subject after Elrond.
Moreover, he always thought of himself as the most successful subject.
He was very disdainful of Zero.
Now that he found out that the enemy had such precise shooting skills, he did not immediately target Zero.
He felt that this person must be Zero’s helper.
The failed experimental subject, Zero, would not be able to do so much.
But he knew in his heart.
It was impossible for Zero to get any helpers.
Moreover, the equipment at the experimental base was all manufactured by Zero.
But still, he didn’t want to admit that Zero was better than him.
Even if that was the case, he didn’t believe that it was Zero.
Sigh!
Perhaps it was the after-effects of the reagent that caused Test Subject One to be so persistent.
His team member had not died in vain. The experimental subject team saw a transient flash of gunfire in the darkness.
“Found him, 190 miles in the South!”
“Everyone, quickly move forward at full speed,” One ordered.
Elrond laid in the grass nervously.
He quietly watched them rush over.
He could not kill everyone in one go. He calmly fired two shots and killed two more enemies.
