Yang Dian received a phone call from Kate . Confused, he asked, "Mr . Kate, are you looking for us?"
Kate sounded anxious . "A robber has taken the products of the research institution, including the oppressor for the Death Virus . If we can't retrieve it, our results will be lost . Since the military can't make it in time, we have to count on you guys!"
The duo turned serious . "We will definitely help . "
"That's great . You're our only hope . I'll send you the coordinates . The enemy is a man wearing a black mechanical suit!"
Black mechanical suit‽
Yang Dian and Ned's expressions changed .
"Could it be him‽"
…
Running on the street wearing a mechanical suit was too flashy . As soon as Han Xiao left the research institution, he climbed onto the rooftop of a building and continued running across rooftops . That way, even if someone saw him, it would not cause as great an impact . He was planning to find a hidden spot to take off the mechanical suit and change to a different face .
So many drug potions, enough for me to drink it like water . Han Xiao laughed .
After turning into a few streets, Han Xiao jumped into an empty alley . It was at this moment that two strong vital signs showed up on the radar, and after the automated search in the database, it surprisingly had a match . It turned out to be the two superheroes that he had met twice .
They're chasing me? Han Xiao thought for a while, and he knew that they were being toyed with by Louis Research Institution again .
This time, a notice popped up on the interface .

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes .
He was quite interested in this mission . It was a chance for him to feel what it was like to be the ultimate evil .
Han Xiao analyzed the data .
I've got a few minutes to kill, just enough time to play with them a little .
Han Xiao stopped in place and waited . Yang Dian and Ned's figures flashed past the alley entrance not long after—they ran too far . After a few seconds, the duo realized and immediately turned back, standing at the alley entrance with a confronting stance .
"It really is you!" Yang Dian's face was stern . He had seen the power of this mysterious warrior in the mechanical suit with his own eyes . Even in his peak state, he would probably be beaten in a few punches, and he was now injured . But the thought of Han Xiao robbing the cure to the Death Virus encouraged him to not back up even if he could not win .
Ned rubbed his hands and was ready to strike . He said in a low tone, "Even though you saved us before, I'm afraid we can't let you take the cure . "
Cure? Damn these guys really are the type that are stupid enough to help someone who cheated them .
Ned struck first . His hands slapped forward, and a shockwave filled the alley . The paint on the walls shed, and cracks appeared on the ground .
In a flash, Han Xiao jumped up, drawing a swift arc midair, and bumped toward the enemy like a rocket .
Yang Dian bit his teeth and stepped forward, swinging out his punch .
Bang!
The mechanical suit covered fist was like a bolt of lightning, appearing and disappearing in an instant . Before Yang Dian's fist could even swing fully, it had already hit Yang Dian's chest heavily . Yang Dian's vision turned hazy; everything in sight seemed to move away rapidly as he flew backwards . He then got punched into the wall with a loud noise, every bone in the body almost shattering .
One-hit victory .
His physical power is even stronger than the lion who caused serious injury to me . Yang Dian barely pulled himself out of the wall and breathed heavily . Suddenly, he heard a gust of wind around his ears, Ned was thrown toward him and fell beside his feet with a huge bump on his head . He had been knocked dizzy by a simple headbutt from Han Xiao .
They could not even last three seconds . With absolutely zero chance to fight back, Yang Dian was filled with sadness and hatred . How are we supposed to stop the opponent like this?
Helplessness penetrated their hearts .
Han Xiao looked at the timer as he saw the duo trying to get back up . He had given himself five minutes to deal with these two superheroes, but the situation had turned out to be much easier . He had taken less than ten seconds to beat them completely .
They were both Superhumans at the level of thirty-something . With Han Xiao's strength, it was a piece of cake .
Han Xiao took a few steps forward . Just as he was going to say something, Yang Dian managed to struggle to his feet . With a face filled with unyielding and anger, he clenched his teeth and said, "You took away the cure for the Death Virus . Lots and lots of people will die because of that . I will stop you today even if it costs me my life!"
Han Xiao stopped in place . He looked at Yang Dian with a mocking smile . "Dying as a hero—other than dead flowers, empty words, and a few hypocritical tears, what else can you get?"
Yang Dian clenched his teeth even harder . "It doesn't matter how others look at me as long as I'm happy with what I'm doing!"
Suddenly, Yang Dian blinked . A large, black hand enlarged in his sight and grabbed his head . He was smashed into a wall, shattering the stones .
His head was bleeding, Yang Dian lay flat on the ground, his head spinning . He did not even have the strength to stand up .
Han Xiao took out his handgun and pressed it against Yang Dian's forehead .
The black colored muzzle brought Yang Dian back to his senses . He wanted to struggle, but Han Xiao stepped on his legs, then slowly applied pressure to the trigger .
Yang Dian's eyes widened . At this moment, regret uncontrollably flooded his mind .
If I wasn't so meddlesome, I wouldn't die today . In front of an enemy that's this strong, even if I bet my life on it, I wouldn't be able to stop him for a bit . Coming here was just giving my life away . I shouldn't have accepted the request . I was too impulsive…
Ka!
The trigger reached its end . Yang Dian's entire body trembled, only to realize that he did not feel any pain . He was stunned as he watched Han Xiao back off . Then he realized that cold sweat had drenched all his clothes . Although he could not see his own face, he knew that it was definitely a twisted expression filled with fear, regret, and unwillingness .
"What were you thinking just now?" Han Xiao said .
Yang Dian froze in place but kept silence . In the face of death, the belief that he had once thought would never be destroyed was shaken . He was not as generous and tough as he said at all . Instead, at that moment, it was regret he felt, and he even thought that giving up his life for a request from others was extremely stupid . Yet before this event, he had always been working hard toward the goal of being a superhero—he wanted to save more people; he wanted to protect more civilians; he wanted to sacrifice himself for others .
But at this moment, Yang Dian only felt lost .
Han Xiao put his handgun with the empty clip back to the holster, took out a laptop, transferred some data to a thumb drive, and threw it to Yang Dian .
Yang Dian and Ned froze in place .
The enemy left just like that?
"Why did he not kill us?" Yang Dian held the thumb drive in a daze .
"We are no match for him . Don't go up to him and look for death . We have to leave here first . " Yang Dian held onto Ned, and they left limping .
Another mission failure, the duo's hearts were filled with shame . They could not face Kate . When they arrived at Louis Research Institution's door, the military was already there, and the area was locked down . The duo did not want to come into contact with the Maple Military, so they went back to the place where they rested and dressed their wounds .
Yang Dian kept thinking about what Han Xiao had said . He was confused and could not focus at all . He lay on bed dazed, the thoughts from just now flashing in his mind non-stop . He could feel that his belief and perspective of being a superhero were shaken; it was a war against his own mind .
At this time, Ned could not hold back his curiosity of what was inside the thumb drive . He plugged it into the laptop, and only a few seconds of looking at it made him break out in cold sweat .
