The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 240

Chapter 240: 240


Aurora looked at the hands that reached out for her before raising her head to look into Han Xiao's eyes .

"Why are you here to save me?" she asked timidly .

Han Xiao pondered and said, "You can take it as I'm just a warm-hearted person . "

"Who are you?" Aurora turned her head sideways .

"You can call me Zero," Han Xiao said casually .

Aurora's wet and large eyes were filled with surprise . "So, you're Uncle Zero . "

Han Xiao squinted his eyes . Being called uncle made him felt like he was abducting a little girl .

Cyberlos hesitated before speaking up . "She went through brainwashing . You should take note of that if you want to save her . "

Brainwash?

He knew about this rumor, but Aurora's expression did not look like she was brainwashed . Han Xiao's eyes twinkled, and he said, "Tell me more . "

"We have many methods of brainwash," Cyberlos said softly, "such as the destructive one that will recreate one's personality or the gentle one that twists their thoughts . We have also been researching on chips recently… although there has yet to be any progress . "

"Which method was used on me?" Han Xiao said with interest .

Cyberlos was immediately covered in cold sweat . He braced himself and said, "I saw your documents before . When we found you, you were already severely injured, delirious, and had clear signs of memory loss . When you became a test subject, because of the importance of your brain and the fact that you were already in such a state, we used the gentle brainwashing method . "

This was within Han Xiao's expectations . Back then, he had been tormented for quite some time by conflicting images and sounds that could be nullified if his Intelligence was just higher than ten . He figured that it was not any sort of destructive method . Anyway, it was in the past, and Han Xiao did not particularly care about it . "What about her?"

"Her elder sister is a strong Executive Officer . Her ability is very unique—she holds a special position and has contributed a lot to the organization . Because of that, Aurora's brainwash was an even more gentle method . Her personality and mind remained unchanged . However, if she hears a set of specific words, her brainwashed personality will take over, and she will follow orders strictly," Cyberlos said .

Han Xiao understood roughly . Although Aurora was important, there would not be any accidents since she was completely under control . Her sister, Hila, was a sharp blade, so they left Aurora's personality unchanged as a way to order Hila . Getting rid of the brainwashed personality would not be a problem; since Aurora was just a weak little girl, Han Xiao just had to knock her unconscious if her brainwashed personality was awakened .

At that moment, Han Xiao realized something . "Wait a minute, how do you know me?"

"My elder sister told me about your story . "

That's weird, what did Hila mention me for? Han Xiao thought . This little girl seemed to be rather friendly toward him, which was really weird since they should be enemies . He wondered what Hila had told her .


Aurora stood up wobbly, put her hand in Han Xiao's hand, and said, "Thank you for saving me . Please bring me away . "



Han Xiao was interested . "Aren't you afraid that I will use you like the Germinal Organization?"

"My older sister said, no matter how dangerous the future is, it will be better than now . " Aurora raised her head . Her innocent face was filled with seriousness .

Seeing that Aurora was so understanding, Han Xiao was relieved . His understanding of Aurora was only limited to the rumors in his previous life . There had been a side mission to investigate the source of the drug that Aurora was made into, and through that, the players came to know about Aurora .

Therefore, he did not know Aurora's personality, and he did not expect things to go so smoothly .

There would be plenty of opportunities to improve their relationship later on, and now was obviously not a good place and time .

The surveillance cameras of this area were frozen, and it would be found out sooner or later . Thus, time was scarce .

Han Xiao moved the bodies in, took off the white coat and mask from one of them, and gave them to Aurora for disguise . Aurora followed his instructions .

Han Xiao only felt how truly skinny Aurora was when he touched her—it was pitiful . However, Han Xiao did not have any needless emotions . After he disguised her, he turned and yelled at Cyberlos, "Bring us to the underground tunnel, and I promise not to kill you once we're safe . The Six Nations likes people with your abilities—you should still be able to receive funding for your research over there . "

The escape route was definitely not going to be the main gate now that Aurora was with them . The underground headquarters were connected to many underground tunnels . The tunnels were railway tracks that transported resources and people, and they spread out like a spider's web .

The plan was to take Cyberlos as a hostage, use his authority, and leave the headquarters from the underground tunnel, hopefully with Cyberlos cooperating willingly . That was why Han Xiao gave him such a promise .

Although Cyberlos did not want to leave the research that he had in the Germinal Organization behind, he also did not want to die . So, Han Xiao's solution was acceptable, and he even felt relieved .



The Germinal Organization was a sinking ship—to be able to change a side at this time might be a better choice .

As they were going to head out, Han Xiao suddenly stopped . He realized that the small body size of Aurora would attract too much attention even with a disguise . He thought for a moment and took out an empty single shoulder equipment bag . "Get in . "

Aurora did as she was told and climbed into the bag .

As the zip closed, her vision became dark . She could only feel herself being lifted and moved .

"Sister…" Aurora cowered in the bag, closed her hands in front of her chest, and prayed .

…

The three of them quickly passed various levels and headed toward the underground tunnel .

At the same time, the leader, who was listening to the battlefield analysis, suddenly took out his phone .

"The central computer was browsed by Cyberlos . A lot of confidential information was gone through…" The leader narrowed his eyes and raised suspicion . He said to the assistant, "Find Cyberlos' location and show the surveillance camera footage on my laptop . "

Then, the leader operated his laptop and entered the central computer system through a backdoor command . He looked at the browsing history and immediately noticed that Cyberlos had turned off all the defensive measures . The surveillance camera footage could be seen, too . Cyberlos had entered the central computer room with another person .



The leader's eyes became sharp and cold . He was immediately able to deduct that Cyberlos was under duress, and this stranger was most likely Zero . He did not step into his traps and snuck in another way .

"Well… don't think about leaving now that you're here . " The leader sent out orders immediately . "Send all the nearby Executive Officers to surround Area C-11 and the entrances of underground tunnels 3 to 11 . Do it secretly and don't raise any attention . "

The leader did not turn on the alarm in the headquarters . He wanted to secretly trap Zero to make sure he was dead .

At a lounge in the underground headquarters, a group of Executive Officers played poker out of boredom .

"It's so damn boring to standby every day . How I wish to go to the battlefield," someone lamented .

"What's good about the battlefield? There's danger everywhere . With these Inhumans and super soldiers, there's no need for us to put our lives at stake," someone sneered .

"Super soldiers are a group of monsters that are even more disgusting than the Inhumans . They're a bunch of half-completed trash," someone derided . The normal superhumans looked down on those mass-produced soldiers .

At the side, Hila sat on the sofa with an indifferent expression and rested with closed eyes . Her coldness stopped people from approaching, and she did not approach anyone either; she was not part of the lively atmosphere .

All of a sudden, Hila opened her eyes and turned her head in a specific direction . The coldness on her face was gone, replaced by shock and rage in her eyes .

The Life Mark that she had left on Aurora moved!

These Executive Officer suddenly received orders from their superiors, and before it was finished, they heard a loud blast . As they looked up, they saw that the gate was shattered . Hila had already turned into a high-speed, dark-red shadow and disappeared at the end of the corridor .
