The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 18

Chapter 18


"Go to hell!" screamed No . 1 as he stepped on the pedal, not noticing several grenades hanging from mid-air in their path .

The vehicle came to a sudden stop as it ran into the rope that Han Xiao had tied between two trees . The two trees were almost uprooted by the force of the crash, and, the agents in the vehicle were tossed around like rag dolls .

Immediately after, the grenades exploded, setting the night ablaze . The bulletproof windshield was heavily cracked by the shrapnel .

It was a simple, yet devastating trap .

Han Xiao tossed the night-vision goggles away as soon as the grenades exploded . The fire from the blast gave him all the vision that he needed . He began to fire . The rifle was so powerful that each shot caused Han Xiao's entire upper body to shudder in recoil .

Han Xiao was firing at the windscreen, and from the pattern that the windscreen cracked, it was clear that Han Xiao was aiming for the driver, No . 1 .

No . 1 gritted his teeth and yanked the person next to him up to use as a shield . In the next instant, the windscreen shattered, and the poor guy's brains blew up in his face .

"Get out of the car!"

The remaining agents hastily jumped out of the car . In his rage, No . 1 began to spray wildly with a submachine gun . His teammates blindly followed suit .

Han Xiao ceased shooting to reload .

Bullets whizzed past in Han Xiao's surroundings, but Han Xiao knew that they did not know his exact location . They were simply panicking . He patiently waited for them to reload .

The agents soon realized that they had acted too rashly, but it was too late – Han Xiao now had the initiative .

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a strangely beautiful rhythm to Han Xiao's shots .

As his comrades began to fall one after another, No . 1 started to tremble . As he wildly fired, he screamed, "Who the hell are you! Show yourself!"

His confidence had been completely and utterly destroyed .

Click click click . . .

He ran out of ammo once more .

"Show yourself!"

Suddenly, Han Xiao walked out into the clearing .

No . 1's eyes widened in shock

"H-h-how can it be!"

Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected Han Xiao to counterattack . He had, in his hubris, thought for sure that Han Xiao was fleeing for dear life . Despite all the facts proving otherwise, he had stubbornly refused to believe that Han Xiao was better than him . Now, it finally dawned upon him .

Zero was way stronger than him .

His false sense of superiority was instantly replaced by jealousy .

"I am the better test subject! You are the failure! A failure!"

He pulled a handgun out and attempted to shoot, but Han Xiao was faster . A sniper bullet tore through No . 1's entire right arm .

As No . 1 slowly turned to look at the right side of his body in horror .

Han Xiao fired again, this time at No . 1's leg, causing him to collapse to the ground . He then took his time to reload before continuing to maim his remaining limbs .



No . 1 lay helplessly on the ground as he stared at Han Xiao hatefully .

"ZERO!" he screamed hoarsely, like a wounded beast .

"Keep quiet . "

Han Xiao strode forward to No . 1 to give him a vicious kick in his jaw .

"Wanna know why I left you for last? Because I don't want you to enjoy a quick death . "

No . 1 was writhing on the ground, unable to reply . Blood was continuously spurting out of his wounds .

Suddenly, the communication device on his severed arm lit up . A holograph of the leader appeared in mid-air .

"Zero, that's enough," he said .

Han Xiao frowned .

"I am the leader of the Germinal Organization," he introduced .

"Do you think you can truly escape from us? No matter where you go, the Germinal Organization will find you . However, I can give you a chance to live . "

"How?" asked Han Xiao plainly .

"Return to the organization obediently . I will allow you to retain your memories . You will be given a position you deserve," answered the boss . He was truly fascinated by Han Xiao's strength .

No . 1's face grew livid at his leader's words . How could he treat Zero so well after all the men that he had killed?



Han Xiao glanced at No . 1 and replied tauntingly, "You want to rope me in even after I've killed so many of your people?"

"A bunch of failures . Their deaths are not worth mourning," the boss replied instantly .

No . 1 shuddered .

"What makes you think I want to work under you?"

"We are destined to accomplish greater things . Join us . What's there to hesitate? Oh, I know . Is it because you are still unhappy with how we treated you before? Don't be so petty, think of the bigger picture . Such things are trivial when compared to our ultimate goal . "

Han Xiao replied coldly, "I have no interest whatsoever in your ideology . You killed my friends, so you are my enemy . That is all . "

"If you refuse to join us, there will not be a place for you in this world!" threatened the boss .

"I will destroy you all," Han Xiao declared .

It was the only solution .

The boss burst out in laughter .

"Destroy us? What do you think you are? You are just a small, pitiful ant that we can squash whenever we want . Did killing a few lowly grunts make you think that you are invincible now? Childish!"

"Wait and see then . The world is bigger than you can imagine . "

Han Xiao shook his head and raised his gun . He fired three shots aimed at No . 1's heart .

The test subject squad no longer existed!

The boss's mask could not conceal his fury .



"You'll regret this," he coldly warned before ending the transmission .

You have killed the No . 1, the Valkyrie Experiment Test Subject, gaining 900 experience .

You have completed [Revenge], gaining 15,000 experience .

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

Crack!

Suddenly, the bayonet rifle came apart .

The SWP sniper rifle that Han Xiao retrieved from the test subject squad had the prerequisite of the [Sniper] ability, so Han Xiao dismantled it to fix the bayonet rifle .

Han Xiao had gained a total of 20,000 experience tonight .

As the Germinal Organization would surely come for him, Han Xiao needed to find a hiding place . He was indeed still too weak to take them head-on . The wealth of information that he carried over from the game was his trump card .

In order to make good use of it, Han Xiao needed to seek the aid of a power as mighty as the Organization .

The Six Nations!

Stardragon, Maple, Theseus, Raylen, Hesla, and Ordina .

Since he was already in Stardragon, and they were the most peaceful of the six nations, there could be no better choice .
