Chapter 98
All the machine guns and grenade launchers in the base were immediately adjusted to face the fast-approaching Thorns .
Upon seeing their reaction, Couton knew that Thorns was an ally right away . He then shouted, "All vehicles on the flank, make a path for the unexpected guest!"
The Coutonian motorcade changed its formation, emptying a path on its flank that led directly to the front gate of the base, which allowed Thorns to conveniently charge forward .
Han Xiao was alone in Thorns . After they killed Ghostly Fox's team, they had gone back and repaired Thorns at the Farian base . This time, he came alone . Other factions in the Somar Desert would not allow such a great opportunity to pass . The main fighting force of Rose Militant had been wiped out . Han Xiao passed this piece of information to them . It gave him the ability to fish in the troubled waters .
The grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and small-scale missile launchers had to be controlled manually using the aiming system beside the speedometer . An automated firepower control system was not installed in the vehicle .
There were many incoming rounds . Han Xiao managed to escape some, and the armored exterior absorbed the impact of the rest . He then aimed one of the cannons at the wall of the base and fired . As the vehicle vibrated violently, a few small-scale missiles and grenade explosives blasted promptly on the wall, triggering a glaring flame .
The canon exploded into thousand pieces, lingering in the air .
Inside the base, Luo was livid . She had a hunch that they would not be able to guard the base . She called in Su Li and gave her an orderly softly . "We will give up the base and evacuate using the secret passageway . Bring five people with us . "
Su Li nodded her head, agreeing with the plan .
The mercenaries left guarding the base would be the sacrificial lambs while they quietly evacuated the base using the passageway . As long as they survived, they could get as many mercenaries as they wanted from their secret sponsor .
The Rose Militant mercenaries who were defending against the incoming attack did not know that they had been abandoned . They were still operating the canons assiduously to defend again the Coutonians and Thorns . The blasting sounds of canons filled their ears; smoke and flames engulfed their sight . They could not hear a word from one another . Everyone was fighting as if they were the only reef there against the ocean wave, fighting a lone battle .
Hoooomm…
After more than ten rocket rounds were fired at the scarred metal gate, it finally gave in and blew up . The gate was open!
"Charge!" Couton was overjoyed .
The motorcade entered in a single file . Following which, the Coutonians, equipped with automatic rifles, swept through the entire base . The mercenaries from Rose Militant could not set up an effective counterattack the moment the enemies charged into the base . They were shot into sieves when they tried to escape from the canon emplacements .
Han Xiao drove Thorns in . He took out his two Berserk Eagles and acted independently . The Coutonians gave him a glance him but did not hold him back .
Han Xiao's movement was as swift as could be, his black windbreaker flying like a cape . He was like a dark specter scouring the battlefield . Soon, he finished searching the entire base . In the process, he encountered two mercenaries from Rose Militant, who he pre-emptively shot in the head . One of them was rather beautiful—she would have turned many heads if she wore a bikini and walked on the beach . Han Xiao secretly regretted his decision to shoot her in the head .
After a round of searching, Han Xiao did not spot the leader of Rose Militant . His brows knitted as he knew the whole situation was not so simple .
There must be a secret passageway .
Wars were daily affairs in the Somar Desert . It would not be surprising if the Rose Militant kept a secret passageway for their evacuation .
Han Xiao soon discovered their tracks . Luo and her gang had left in a hurry; thus, they had left some footprints behind . He followed the trail of the footsteps and entered a hidden cellar beneath the ground . The cellar was dark and filled with a moist, humid smell .
A secret underground river?
Han Xiao ignited a fire pack before he threw it down . The depth was about five meters . He ensured that it was safe before he jumped down .
Beneath the base was a rocky mountain, and the cellar was actually a path dug within it . Like the passageway in a regularly mine, the walls of the path were held up by wooden frames . It was completely dark at the front of the path as there was not a single source of light . There were clear footprints in the soil .
Han Xiao raised his hand to feel the rocky walls, and he felt a patch of moisture . He suspected that there might be a secret underground river nearby .
The situation of the path ahead was uncertain . Han Xiao pondered for a moment . He then took out his spider detector and laid it on the floor . The mechanical spider stood at attention like a soldier awaiting orders as Han Xiao started controlling it with his tablet .
I will call you Spider No . 1 .
After coming up with an amazing name as usual, Han Xiao quickly controlled Spider No . 1 to move further into the path . The vision of its camera was shown on the tablet—Spider No . 1 was equipped with a night-vision camera .
