Chapter 449 "Infectious Diseases" (20)

"Buzz~~!!"

"Keep moving! Don't stop!"

"Don't fight any longer! Get out of here as soon as possible..."

“Buzz!!!!”

When another annihilation team entered the botanical garden area from another direction, their detection device scanned two life signals. After getting closer to check, they found that one of them was one of their targets, Xin. So they shot her directly from a hidden position in the distance. They thought that this target would be easy to kill because she only had a torn combat uniform on her, no armor, no corresponding weapons, only some garbage.

However, due to the lack of intelligence, they did not know that the guy walking next to Xin, who was wearing a strange robe for some reason, was not someone the annihilation team could afford to offend. So when the energy weapon fired a beam and was about to kill one of the targets, but was directly blocked by the guy's body, the annihilation team realized that something was wrong.

However, the strangely dressed guy did not give them time to react. Before they could aim again, the danger assessment device on the armor sounded an alarm. One of the team members who still maintained a shooting posture was pierced directly through the chest by the inexplicable high-energy ray. When his body was split in two, the others could see clearly that the deadly ray came from the guy's eyes.

The heavy-armored units in the team immediately put up shields for defense. This kind of combat quality is still very high. They did not blindly dodge, but prepared to find opportunities to fight back. The energy shield of the heavy-armored units did block a ray attack, which made everyone mistakenly believe that the gunman was killed just because of carelessness.

However, when the second ray directly penetrated the energy shield and split the heavy-armored unit in the rear, along with the two soldiers standing in a straight line with him, in two from bottom to top, they finally understood why their risk assessment device had sounded the most serious alarm before he launched the attack.

The commander of the annihilation team immediately judged the situation and ordered an immediate evacuation. A powerful additional combat unit was not in the intelligence they had received in advance. The two pioneers in the team tried to use the equipment to scan the other party, but for some reason, the scanning process could not be completed. It was not the right choice to fight against an enemy whose background was completely unknown. So the commander ordered to evacuate the area first.

Under normal circumstances, this annihilation team could use the propulsion system on their armor to quickly distance themselves from the enemy after a short flight. However, after everyone used the propulsion system to withdraw from the battlefield, the alarm of the danger assessment device in their equipment was not lifted. One of the pioneers looked back and found that the guy could actually fly. Although his speed was not very fast, he seemed to be keeping up with them. He could also attack accurately while flying. Several team members had been killed in this way.

Fortunately, the propulsion device on their armor was powerful enough, and they gradually widened the distance between themselves and the guy behind them. After getting rid of that guy, the team regrouped and finally had a chance to catch their breath.

"Phew! This situation is not common. In the past, this was our target, escaping from us like this."

"This is the intelligence personnel's negligence! We lost several brothers in just one encounter! How could a combat unit of this level be missed?!"

"Stop complaining, Captain. Send the message back quickly and ask other teams to come for support."

"We can't do this here. The danger assessment alert has not been completely lifted. We have to go further."

"Keep quiet and don't let that guy find your location."

"clear."

In order to ensure that no traces were left, the remaining members of the annihilation team activated the stealth force field device on their armor. This stealth force field was indeed very secretive. Even the out-of-control mechanical sentinels and some elite powerful mutants around them could not find their traces. The disappearance of their whereabouts also stopped the alarm of their danger assessment device. Logically speaking, they should be safe now, and they also thought so.

At the same time, four hundred meters away from them.

Han Zu, who was suspended in mid-air, was using his evolved ability of perspective to observe their movements from a distance of half the area, but for some reason, he did not continue to attack them.

Xin, who was also suspended in midair and wrapped in Han Zu's biological stance, did not delve into the wonders of this biological stance at this time, but also looked in the direction Han Zu was staring at. But she could only see the wall not far ahead, and could not directly see the remaining members of the annihilation team. However, based on past experience, Xin probably guessed that Han Zu was staring at them.

"It seems that what I said before was correct. The relevant responsible persons really don't want and will not let you leave here alive."

"Ah..."

However, after hearing Han Zu's words, Xin didn't say anything, but just sighed helplessly.

"Still worried about the traitor?"

Xin nodded and said nothing.

"alright."

Han Zu stopped monitoring the escaped members of the annihilation team, used the biological stance to take Xin back to the original position, and continued to move towards the secondary storage area of ​​the space station below. Because they were flying, they bypassed many places that were normally inaccessible, and Han Zu's flight was very quiet, so naturally they did not attract a large number of mutants there. The locking range of those mechanical sentinels was very far, but they were all discovered and annihilated by Han Zu in the sky. So soon, they arrived at the secondary storage area and entered the dense cargo storage area.

Using the contractor's equipment to conduct a detection, they soon arrived at the escape pod where Baduo had escaped. Like the previous annihilation team, Han Zu also knew what had happened to Baduo.

"Broken arm, but still alive."

Xin breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Baduo was still alive.

"You discovered this by using the Renegade's equipment?"

"Correct."

"Then can you... contact him?"

"If his communication equipment is not broken, it should be possible, but I need his data key, you know?"

"The traitor's equipment can still use our data keys?"

"can."

"Has the technology of the traitors surpassed ours..."

"Based on what I have learned, I think the technology trees developed by both of you should be somewhat different."

"Well, his data key, if I remember correctly, should be..."

After obtaining Baduo's data key through Xin, Han Zu used the contractor's equipment to send several messages to Baduo's device, stating his identity and that Xin was beside him. He even took a selfie with Xin. However, after waiting for several minutes, he did not receive a reply.

"His communication equipment must be broken... It must be broken. I intercepted the final protocol sent by his armor."

"We need to inform the other team members of this news to prevent them from encountering and treating Baduo as a hostile target."

“You can, but you probably won’t get any response.”

What Han Zu meant was that the other team members might not be able to survive, and Xin naturally understood what he meant.

"What if?"

"It's all right."

Using the data key given by Xin, Han Zu quickly contacted the other team members. Just as he said, most of the team members did not respond. However, Xin noticed that Han Zu did not ask for the data keys of Xin Le, who should be in the same location as Gloria, as well as Wu and Hai.

"Wait a minute, aren't you worried about Gloria at all? Her situation may not be safe right now."

"She should have been picked up by our allies, so you're right. I'm not worried at all."

Just before Han Zu and Γ4 parted for the second time, he had asked Γ4 to teleport Gloria away. Engineer Sinler was also teleported away with her. Although Sinler was very surprised to face the traitor, he quickly figured out their current situation, so Gloria basically didn't say much, and he voluntarily followed Gloria and Γ4 away.

When Γ4 found them, they had already joined Wu and Hai. They reacted strongly, but facing the powerful Γ4, they were not strong enough to repair their armor and weapons, so they were also taken away together. But this was actually a coincidence. Because Γ4 can only locate Gloria remotely.

"So you actually teleported them away a long time ago?!"

"Theoretically, it should be my allies who teleported them away, but I was indeed the one who made this request."

"Then the reason you haven't left yet is that you want to take Baduo away with you after you find him?"

“It’s part of the factor.”

"In other words, the other team members whose data keys you asked for have already..."

Han Zu said nothing and nodded.

Xin clenched his fists at the news of losing his teammate, but there was nothing he could do except feel sad.

"Then why am I still here? Shouldn't you send me directly to the traitor's territory? Don't tell me you're asking for my opinion."

"I'm not that hypocritical. I left you here so that I could find the remaining Baduo, and secondly... I need someone who can fly a spaceship."

"Spaceship? What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about this. It's too early. Let's find the one-armed hero first."

"Usable 'echo' detected."

Although the contractors' equipment was quite different from the Tigers' equipment, some of their functions were the same, such as the "echo" detection module. According to Han Zu's operation, an "echo" was quickly displayed in front of the two in the form of a holographic image.

"Your device can build an 'echo'?"

"Yes, but this was left by someone else. It should be another annihilation team."

In the "Echo" video, the extermination team is reconstructing what happened in the area. In the video, they encountered several lone team members who were ambushed and killed, leaving behind corpses, and the scene was in chaos. The other team members were checking their corpses to confirm the reason why they were killed. According to the clues in the "Echo", these lone team members who were ambushed and killed should have triggered some special traps and were killed from behind by someone close by.

After finishing "Echo", they found the bodies of the annihilation team members who were killed in a surprise attack and placed here not far away. Their armor and weapons were gone, and they should have been recovered by their other team members.

On one of the bodies, Xin saw some familiar marks of injury, and in the corner of the corridor, he found some debris left by a triggered trap.

"Although these traps are simple, they are not crude and are quite powerful. They are the work of Baduo. It seems that he has been targeted by the annihilation team. Although Baduo is very good at hiding his position, the annihilation team is not small after all. We should speed up the search."

It is not too difficult to find an experienced trap expert like Baduo. You just need to look for the traps set along the way to find his location. But if you want to catch up with him, it is not easy. First of all, you need to avoid these traps. After all, their power is not a joke.

The thing that is most abundant in the space station is various materials. Using these materials, while avoiding the pursuit of the annihilation team, Baduo also created and deployed a large number of traps. Many of them are mechanical traps that cannot be eliminated by using detection energy, so the annihilation team's equipment cannot detect them.

However, this is much easier for Han Zu, who has the ability of X-ray vision. He can quickly locate these traps and use his flying ability to avoid them. Even if some traps cannot be avoided, Han Zu can find their positions in advance and directly destroy them with high-energy rays.

The annihilation team that was chasing Baduo couldn't do that. They needed to eliminate these traps before they could move forward. So after a while, the distance between them and Baduo didn't shrink much, but they were getting closer and closer to Han Zu who was following the traps.

"I didn't see Baduo, but I did see an annihilation team clearing out his trap, two rooms away."

Those members of the annihilation team who were ensuring the smooth elimination process had no idea that death was following behind them.

"Multiple mechanical combat units detected approaching."

"Um?"

However, before Han Zu could "fire from behind", the contractor's equipment scanned a team of out-of-control sentinels that were heading towards the location of the annihilation team members. So Han Zu temporarily gave up his plan to "fire from behind" and prepared to use this group of mechanical sentinels to observe the fighting style of this annihilation team.

"An abnormal mechanical sentinel unit has been detected."

At the same time, the annihilation team also discovered the mechanical sentinel team that appeared nearby. They temporarily stopped the work of removing traps, opened the shielding position, and prepared to wait for the mechanical sentinels to leave before continuing the original process of removing traps.
