Chapter 10 - Night owl

Squad A goes upstairs and gets together with Squad D at the gate. "Squad B and C might have been wiped out. We will defend the gate until the reinforcements come." The captain of squad A looks at the people around. 31 guards in total, with 31 guns pointing at the passage. If Zero shows up, he will be shot into pieces! Wait, are we supposed to be 30?

"Di~Di~" Suddenly, the gate access control light goes green and the gate is opened. All guards turn back to the gate direction and see an agent with a knapsack standing by the gate. He holds a white card in his hand and raises the hat a bit. A cheerful whistle blew at the crowd.

"Bye!" That guy pulled the emergency shut and rolled out before the gate shut. All guards are in stone gaze and the captain gets mad. The shut gate is mocking him. "When did Zero sneak in?"

The 80 cm thick gate shuts completely. Finally, Xiao escapes from the base. Warm sunlight and fresh air are delightful. The air of freedom! It's around 4-5 pm according to the sun.

Xiao didn't plan to confront guards at all. Even when the defence of the base is at its weakest. He has no confidence to win without getting injured. And the guards can shut the gate if they feel they can't stop Xiao. Even if he killed them all like Rambo in 'First Blood', he can't escape if the gate shuts. He took a relatively clean suit from the body and put the mechanical arm into the knapsack and hid in the corner of the stairs. It was a blind angle and he joined squad A when they retreated to the gate. At that time, Squad A was in shock and panic when they figured out what Zero's plan was. And they obviously didn't expect that Zero would be bold enough to join them. Who will count its own squad without reason? No one noticed that there was one more person in the squad. The following was as expected. Xiao waited until their attention was on the passage and sneaked to the access control monitor. And locked all guards in their base while he escaped.

It's a dangerous plan. Any small fault, he will be shot dead by thirty guns at such a short distance. He would never choose such a plan if he had a choice. Unfortunately, the safer plan is spoiled by Ballotta. Even though it's dangerous but it's worth it. Now, he is in a wasteland. He notices the track and finds the garage. Several SUVs are there with keys hanging on the wall. Xiao takes the convenience.

"There will be reinforcement any time. I can't stay here.'' Escaping the base is only the first step. The chase from the Sprout would definitely follow. Xiao throws the knapsack into the passenger seat and takes all the keys from the wall. He starts one SUV and races like Formula 1. The car breaks through the fence at full speed and rushes into the forest. Xiao doesn't know where to go but he needs to get away from the base as far as possible.

In the helicopter, Hela picks up a phone call. She frowns, "Who is that?" "Commander Hela, the base is in chaos. Zero went out of control and killed more than thirty guards including Vice Commander Ballotta and Dr Gramme. The experimental data was destroyed too. " Frustration in voice, the captain of squad A tells Hela about the accident. He has to, not only for his career but also for his life. Not to mention they are all locked in the base and wait for rescue.

Hela is shocked. Are you joking? I brainwashed Zero myself. Is he pretending all the time? All other subjects behave themselves. I was deceived? Hela calls the leader immediately and repeats the conversation with the captain. The breath of the leader goes rapid. Obviously, he is suppressing his anger. "Go back and get him." "But my sister…." Hela is unhappy. "Shut up, you don't have the right to argue."

Hela bites her lip and shouts at the pilot,"Turn back to the base!" "Commander Hela, we need to refuel." "Hurry."

The night owl squad receive the same order from the leader. They drive SUVs back to the base and open the gate from outside. One is outraged and shocked when he sees the mass. He shouted at the caption, "You useless rat! You got sixty people and couldn't stop a dumb Zero?" He knows that he can't do it, so Zero has no chance either! All faces of the guards go red but they have accepted that Zero is more than they can cope with.

"No time for argument. The leader orders us to chase him back" Silver blade cuts their conversation and takes the night owl squad in the car. "Please, we subject squad would like to join the action!" One reports loudly and takes the subject squad on the other cars. He always believes that he is the perfect subject and is jealous that there is a Zero before him. The ability of Zero makes him agitated. For him, to defeat Zero is the only way to prove his value to the organisation.

Night owl squad ignore the saved guards after they have all the information. In their eyes, the guards are at fault for they failed to stop a subject. The guards are angry, "They will know who they are facing when they meet Zero." They even wish that Zero could escape from Night Owl Squad. Then it proves that it's not they are incompetent but Zero is too strong.

It's a starry night. The night of Blue Planet is incredible. In-game, every planet has its own landscape and starry night. Some players like to travel around the universe and take photos. Some even make an album of Starlleris Legend. And those albums are quite popular around the world.

Back in the forest, the dim starlight makes it a good place to hide. Xiao drives carefully. He can't drive too fast at night or the sound of the engine would lead the enemy to him. "It's too slow and the car is a big target. Walking is better." Xiao decides to abandon the car. Without the sound of the engine, the forest fell back into quiet. The shadow of trees makes it mysterious.

[You obtained military ship cookie *5, bottled water*3]

Xiao takes the cookies and water from the trunk of the car and walks into the forest. He can't remove the track so he walks in another direction. The darkness covers his move. He is tired and his stigma point is low but he can't rest. He is not safe yet. After walking for a while, the sound of a car engine burst out in the forest. Xiao hides in the tree quickly and carefully looks at the abandoned car. There are six lines of lights there and they drive in three directions after they notice the car is abandoned.

"They have three cars!" Xiao is glad that he abandoned the car so the enemy lost clues. And they have to split up. Xiao continues moving. Suddenly, a gunshot breaks the quiet. Xiao is alerted and lies down immediately. He feels the scratchy pain on his right shoulder. It's bleeding and a bullet hole is left on the tree meters away.

A car stops about three hundred meters away and the night owl squad get off. All of them wear black glasses. The shot came from the captain - silver blade. He has a snipe in his hand. "It's the night version!" Xiao quickly realises and complains. He hides behind a tree quickly.
