Chapter 102 Hela
"What did you say?"
On the Black Harrier helicopter, Hela listened to Li Yuan's rapid-fire words on the other end of the phone, her eyes wide with astonishment.
After repeatedly confirming with Li Yuan, she hurriedly hung up the phone and immediately contacted the leader, repeating what she had heard.
After hearing Hela's story, the leader's breathing on the other end of the phone became noticeably heavier.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and coldly rebuked, "You turn back immediately and pursue Zero!"
Hela was naturally unwilling; this was an opportunity she had waited two months for, and she immediately retorted, "My sister—"
"Shut up! You have no right to bargain with me!" The leader's voice was as cold as an iceberg.
He then hung up the phone immediately, giving Hela no chance to negotiate.
Hearing the dial tone, Hela bit her lip reluctantly, but she had no courage to refuse.
After a moment, she gritted her teeth and shouted at the pilot, "Turn around! Return to base!"
The pilot glanced at Hela's murderous expression in the rearview mirror, swallowed nervously, and said tremblingly, "Executive Hela, the plane's fuel tanks are low. We need to land and refuel first—"
"Then hurry up!" Hela didn't even look at him, but stared at the sea of clouds outside the window, her voice icy cold.
Inside the Valkyrie experimental base.
Li Yuan sat leisurely in front of the gate filled with corpses, a wisp of fire occasionally leaping from his palm.
drop!
With a crisp sound, the 80-centimeter-thick alloy door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Hela, her face contorted with rage, strode in first. Seeing Li Yuan sitting on the floor, she frowned, her eyes turning cold: "So, you're the one who called me to report this?"
Li Yuan nodded with an expression of relief, as if he had just survived a near-death experience: "It's me, Supervisor Hela."
Hela's gaze swept over the scorch marks on the door and the charred remains of the surrounding corpses, as if she had thought of something, but still asked expressionlessly, "They're all dead, and you're the only one who survived?"
"How did you survive? Zero killed all the other fifty-nine guards, why did he spare you?"
"Tell me! Did you help him escape? Are you a traitor?!"
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Li Yuan's face, as if she would take action immediately if anything went wrong.
Li Yuan chuckled inwardly, but his face betrayed a hint of fear as he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no!"
"I was almost killed by him, but somehow, flames suddenly burst into flames around my body. Zero saw this, swiped his card, opened the door, and ran away."
"By the time I realized what was happening, he had already locked the door. I couldn't get out, and I had no way to chase after him!"
As he spoke, as if to prove his words, a flickering flame suddenly appeared in his hand, dancing and undulating.
Hela stared at the ball of flame for a long while before slowly nodding: "It seems that the life-or-death crisis awakened your potential, allowing you to awaken this fire ability."
Her expression softened slightly. After giving Li Yuan another once more look, she turned and walked towards the base gate, shouting, "Follow me! Let's go after Zero!"
"Yes!" Li Yuan quickly got up and followed her onto the helicopter.
It was already late at night outside.
The Black Harrier helicopter flew for a long time with its searchlights on before suddenly hovering in mid-air and opening the hatch to lower the rope ladder.
Li Yuan and Hela used this ladder to descend to the ground, where they saw bullet holes and scorch marks from explosions everywhere.
It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here before.
Upon receiving Hela's report, the leader of the Sprouts dispatched nearby armed forces to hunt down Han Xiao.
Clearly, one of the elite squads discovered Han Xiao here and engaged him in battle, but was completely wiped out.
This battlefield was only found by other pursuit teams after they discovered that the entire "Night Owl Third Squad" had lost contact, and they found it by following the clues.
When Li Yuan and Hela arrived, those who had arrived earlier had already done a preliminary assessment of the situation.
The bodies of all six members of Night Owl's Third Squad were now laid out in a row before them.
Hela stared blankly at the six neatly arranged corpses for several minutes, her expression one of disbelief the entire time.
Li Yuan's expression was even more "complex," showing shock, fear, relief, disbelief, and other emotions.
After finally recovering from the shock and disbelief, Hela didn't hesitate to squat down and examine the corpses up close.
There were a total of six bodies. One was killed by a bullet, two were killed by an explosion, and the last three were killed in close combat.
Hela paid close attention to the corpse of Silver Knife, the captain of the Night Owl Third Squad. His death was the most tragic among them.
The night vision goggles on his face, resembling horizontal goggles, were shattered, with fragments deeply embedded in his eyeballs.
Not only that, but most of his bones were also broken, as if he had been crushed by some machine.
It's obvious that Silver Knife was the last member of Night Owl's third squad to fight Han Xiao, so his injuries were more varied and numerous compared to the others.
"All of the Night Owl Team's equipment is missing, but we found this thing. It should have been discarded by Zero." A Sprout agent walked over carrying the mechanical arm that Han Xiao had built.
At this point, the robotic arm was broken; a dagger pierced its blood-stained shell, inserted itself between the gears inside, and damaged the power engine.
Hela's eyes flickered as she examined the object for a few moments, then suddenly waved her hand sharply: "Take it back! Don't leave anything behind; bring it all back to base!"
The next day, not long after dawn, a large number of people from the Sprout Organization arrived at the Valkyrie experimental base.
This even included leaders who came in person.
The leader of the Sprout organization was dressed in a black trench coat, with a black mask covering his face and black gloves on his hands. He was completely covered from head to toe, with not a single inch of skin exposed.
Hela led Li Yuan and the rest of the base to go out and greet them: "Leader."
The leader waved his hand and asked, "Who was the first person to call and report Zero's defection and escape?"
Although he asked this question, his gaze was already fixed on the direction where Li Yuan was.
Li Yuanlue stepped out from behind Hela, somewhat excitedly: "Reporting, Chief, it's me!"
"You've awakened a superpower?" The leader's tone was unreadable.
"Yes, Chief, I have awakened the ability to control fire." Li Yuan said, opening his palm as before, and a fireball appeared in his palm.
The leader glanced at the fireball, nodded slightly, and said nothing more, instead walking directly into the base.
The others naturally followed immediately.
The professionals who accompanied the leader to the base were involved in various tasks: some retrieved the remaining surveillance footage, some organized the incomplete experimental data, and others searched for other clues.
Not long after, a report was submitted to the leader.
The leader casually flipped it over and threw it on the ground: "A failed experimental subject that killed Lin Weixian, killed almost all the armed guards in the base, and destroyed the experimental data."
"Not only that, he also wiped out the organization's elite Night Owl squad and successfully escaped the organization's manhunt!"
"Can anyone tell me why he has such fighting power?"
"When did he begin to develop a rebellious spirit?!"
After exchanging glances, one of the researchers stepped forward and said, "We studied the surveillance footage stored in the base and came to a conclusion."
"Perhaps—the effects of the Valkyrie solution have mutated in Zero's case, with effects far exceeding our expectations!"
"This not only gave him extraordinary mechanical talent, but also an IQ far exceeding that of ordinary people."
"In the six months since the experiment ended, there is a more than 90% chance that Zero has been disguising himself and taking the opportunity to plan his escape."
Hearing this, Hela, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask, "You mean, the brainwashing didn't work at all?"
The researcher nodded and continued, "I'm afraid—yes."
"How could someone whose past memories have been completely erased suddenly develop a desire to rebel or escape?"
"There is only one explanation for this situation: it is the effect of the Valkyrie experiment."
He picked up the mechanical arm that Han Xiao had made from the table next to him: "Although this thing is technically crude, it is very innovative. Zero's successful escape is largely thanks to it."
"With this mechanical talent, coupled with his impeccable patience, Zero can be described as a rather dangerous person."
Hearing such high praise, the others were still relatively calm, but "Number One" next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He was the Valkyrie test subject who succeeded Han Xiao, and he believed that he had surpassed Han Xiao, the test subject zero, in every way. But the reality was so cruel. As it stands now, he is not even close to Han Xiao.
He was completely brainwashed and became extremely loyal to the Germination Organization.
A surge of anger, jealousy, a sense of responsibility, and a sense of mission welled up within him, and he immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Leader, I request to lead the hunt for Zero!"
The leader glanced at him and slowly asked, "Are you capable?"
"I can do it! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Completely brainwashed, Number One, with unwavering loyalty to the Sprout Organization, resolutely made this pledge.
"Alright, then you'll lead the team to hunt down Zero, dead or alive!" The leader patted him on the shoulder.
"Yes!" Number One turned around and strode away.
Watching his figure disappear from sight, the leader withdrew his gaze and turned to Li Yuan: "Now that you have awakened your superpower, you are no longer an ordinary guard. I have a greater responsibility to entrust to you."
"From this day forward, you are the organization's executive officer!"
"For the time being, you will stay with Hela and learn from her how to better control your abilities and enhance your strength!"
"Yes, I understand, Chief." Li Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse this arrangement and answered without hesitation.
"Hmm, go down." The leader waved his hand casually.
"Come with me." Hela glanced at Li Yuan, then turned and left.
Li Yuan followed her all the way to a closed training ground.
"Special abilities are stored in our bodies in the form of genetic chains."
"Only by upgrading the gene tree can we improve the power, control, and endurance of our superpowers—and even add new uses to them, allowing them to evolve—"
On the sidelines, Hela was teaching Li Yuan about various supernatural abilities.
However, she speaks very quickly, and she only explains each point of knowledge once, never repeating it.
"After awakening your superpower, your strength should have improved significantly compared to before. Come, let me see how much you've improved."
After Hela finished teaching Li Yuan about supernatural abilities, she got up and went to the training ground.
Like anyone who has made great progress in a short period of time, Li Yuan walked to the center of the training field with a confident and proud expression.
The next moment, without anyone shouting "start," Hela immediately began her attack.
With a twist of her foot, her high-top combat boots screeched against the ground, and her long legs, encased in a black bodysuit, lashed out like a whip, accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, directly towards Li Yuan's chest.
Multiplying his usual combat prowess by a growth factor, Li Yuan immediately unleashed the full force he was using at that moment. He swayed rapidly, taking half a step back to narrowly dodge the whip kick.
Then, in a flash, he stepped forward, grabbed Hela's long leg that had just swept past, and kicked Hela in the same way.
Hela raised her arm to deflect the force of Li Yuan's kick to the side, while Li Yuan grabbed her long leg and pulled hard, breaking free of his grip like a slithering python.
Then, she instantly closed in on Li Yuan, exhaling and making a sound as her fair, pink fist, carrying immense power, pierced through the air and slammed into Li Yuan's chest with a loud crack.
Li Yuan stepped back, twisted his waist to avoid the punch, and at the same time grabbed her smooth, fair wrist in the direction of her force and twisted it. With his other hand, he lifted her up and threw her out in an over-the-shoulder throw.
Hela reacted just as quickly. After being lifted into the air, she braced herself with one hand on the ground, and her two long, python-like legs slid through the air like whips, avoiding Li Yuan's pursuit while landing smoothly.
She stomped her foot hard on the ground, about to spring up and strike Li Yuan with her knee, when she suddenly saw Li Yuan raise his hand and stop in mid-air, signaling him to stop.
"What's wrong? You're not tired and out of energy after just a little movement?" Hela asked, somewhat puzzled.
Li Yuan was speechless, but he didn't argue. He bent down and picked up a photo that had fallen out of Hela's pocket when he threw her over his shoulder.
This is a group photo with a backdrop of blue sea and sky. Under the beautiful sunset, two little girls stand side by side with smiles on their faces.
