Chapter 214 Oscuro Arrives

Reaching the control room door, Xilin turned to the group and said, "As the vice-captain, I am handing over control of this starship and command of this operation to Yudi."

Although the hunters are not as strictly hierarchical as the military, rules still need to be followed in critical moments, otherwise chaos will ensue. Therefore, in dire situations, everyone will consciously obey the orders of the "Supreme Commander".

But now, upon suddenly hearing Xilin say this, everyone was a little taken aback.

Why hand over power on the eve of battle?

Since Xilin has handed over command to Yudi, they must obey Yudi's orders in the following operations. The starship behind them is clearly not to be trifled with.

"But the vice-captain..." Kari chased after him, ready to get to the bottom of it.

However, Xilin didn't say much, and simply pressed the button, closing the control room door before Kari could get there.

When Kari opened the door again, Sirin had already taken the elevator to the aircraft's parking area.

Xilin glanced in the direction of the starship behind him; he could sense the person on that starship.

Sooner or later they would meet, but Xilin didn't expect Oskuro to come so quickly.

It seems that either "Fog" or "Unforgiven" collaborated with Oskuro, drawing some of the military's attention, which allowed Oskuro to shake off the military's entanglement and come to find Sirin.

After choosing a small aircraft, taking a few energy stones with him, and quickly checking his weapons and equipment, Xilin piloted the small aircraft out of the starship.

While smaller aircraft may not have the same level of firepower as larger ones, they are more agile. Larger aircraft are too vulnerable to fire and are not suitable for single-person control.

On the starship behind.

"That kid went out."

The speaker was the same person Xilin had recently discussed with Gray Cat, the one who had brushed past Xilin in the prison corridor. Beside him stood the woman with the blue-light blade Xilin had encountered before.

Osculo, who was leisurely drinking his wine while sitting in a recliner, smiled slightly, finished his wine, stood up, and walked out.

Before long, a spacecraft left the starship and headed straight for Xilin.

Inside a small squadron starship of the Sixth Fleet.

Everyone in the control room saw Xilin pilot the spacecraft away from the starship. Tiko and Yudi watched the spacecraft getting further and further away from them with worry and sighed.

"Hey, what is Xilin thinking? And who are those people behind him?" Kari was practically going crazy.

"Now is not the time," Yudi turned to the main control panel in the control room. "Under no circumstances should you slow down or land on a nearby planet. Activate the energy shield, activate the thrusters to maximum, and retreat to base at full speed!"

Xilin had told Yudi that they should never slow down or land on a nearby planet in the hopes of stopping to fight; that would be suicidal. Therefore, Yudi ordered the team to return at full speed, otherwise they would be no match for the people behind them.

Kari grabbed Yudi by the collar and yelled, "Can't you just tell me the reason?! Is it fun keeping everyone in the dark like this?! Fuck!"

Yudi looked at Kari expressionlessly and pushed Kari's hand away: "I just completed the task assigned by the vice-captain and brought everyone back to the base safely."

"Fart seatbelt!"

Kari angrily kicked the chair at his feet, sending it flying and smashing into pieces against the wall.

Bang bang bang!

The subsequent attacks were still fierce. Although the energy shield provided some protection, the starship was still shaken by the impact of the energy shield.

"Damn it, who are they? Are we really going to have to keep running back to base like this?!"

It wasn't just Kari who thought this way; many others thought the same. It was too humiliating to return to base in such a sorry state. For a member of the Vanguard to be beaten up like this without even putting up a fight and just running home was incredibly shameful!

Seeing that everyone's emotions were gradually becoming unstable, and there was a growing tendency for them to go out and have a fight or find a place to challenge someone, Yudi finally relented. After all, keeping them in the dark for too long would backfire.

"'Fog' or 'No Mercy,' which do you think you can defeat?" Yudi asked Kari and the others.

When Yudi said this, the control room fell silent.

Who can "Fog" or "Unforgivable" stand against?

They can't handle even one!

It's not that they're afraid of dying, but that they're afraid of dying in a pointless way. Courage doesn't mean blindly rushing to your death.

Yudi glanced at the crowd before turning back. "Follow my instructions, return at full speed!"

This time, no one was resentful. Everyone consciously did their own thing, and doing their own thing well was the greatest help they could give to the team.

Kari took several deep breaths, suppressing her almost bursting emotions, and asked, "Then what about Sirin...?"

"He has his own plans." Yudi didn't say anything more, opened the star map and started looking at it, occasionally directing the starship's navigation route.

Judging from their flight path, they had clearly analyzed the area. Yudi didn't expect to shake off the pursuers; he just wanted to return to base safely. Xilin had said that the enemy already knew about the base's existence, and that the previous bio-engineered incident was their doing. This time, even if it wasn't their small team, those people would still attack the base. The fact that they used ordinary high-energy bombs instead of biological or other long-term threats when sending out the mutant aircraft was precisely because of that base.

In answering Kari's question, there was one more thing Yudi didn't mention.

Oskuro's actions were too much of a blow to morale. The presence of either "Fog" or "Unforgiven" alone had already put immense psychological pressure on them, and with Oskuro's words added to the mix, Yudi suspected some would become passive. Therefore, even though Yudi noticed some people had questions about the pursuing aircraft, he simply changed the subject.

Yudi was genuinely surprised when he heard Xilin's idea; no one knew why someone of Oskuro's caliber would be eyeing Xilin.

Xilin piloted his spacecraft toward a planet he had chosen long ago. This planet was one of the two underdeveloped Class B habitable planets that the Sixth Fleet had discovered when they were searching for a base. Xilin had analyzed the planet's environment and biodiversity; only on that planet would his chances of survival be the highest.

Xilin had considered dealing with Osculo's spacecraft in space, but Osculo was far more experienced, and his materials and tools were far superior to Xilin's. Although Xilin used a special energy ore he had discovered before, which could enhance the protective effect of the energy shield by several levels, Osculo's energy shield was barely functional. Moreover, once they left the Vanguard's area, Xilin's chances of turning the tide would be even slimmer. Therefore, when simulating the route, Xilin decisively chose that planet.

If they can buy some time, Gray Cat and the others will come to help, and then Xilin's life will be saved. After all, Oskuro is still all alone here.

While planning their next move, Xilin dodged the attacks from the Oscuro aircraft behind them.

However, the attack from the aircraft behind was just something Oskuro did out of boredom during the chase; Oskuro didn't expect such an attack to destroy Shilin's aircraft.

Although he wasn't prepared to eliminate Sirin in space using this method, Oskuro didn't expect Sirin to go too far; he didn't have much patience.

Osculo glanced at Sirin's aircraft and pressed a button beside him.

A series of rivet-like objects shot out, nine in total, heading straight for Xilin's aircraft. They were highly sensitive tracking types. Xilin dodged eight of them, but was still hit by one.

That rivet-like thing can absorb energy and attach to the energy shield, causing the energy to leak out faster.

It seems Olikuro can't wait any longer. Having been bogged down by the military for so long, Olikuro hasn't been in a good mood.

Watching the energy display line rapidly decreasing, Xilin calculated and piloted the aircraft to evade another round of energy-absorbing rivets pursuing them.

Finally seeing the planet, Xilin was preparing to adjust the controls to land at the intended location when suddenly, with a loud bang, two more energy-absorbing rivets were nailed to the spacecraft.

At this rate of energy loss, Xilin would have no chance of reaching the intended landing point.

With great difficulty, the aircraft landed in a forest, breaking countless branches that caused it to vibrate violently.

Before the aircraft had come to a complete stop, Xilin opened the emergency escape hatch, jumped out, and ran through the woods.

Osculo's aircraft landed safely on a high ground next to the woods.

The hatch opened, and Oskuro stepped out of the aircraft, still dressed the same as when Xilin first met him. He glanced at the grove of trees and the aircraft that had just landed, then leaped off. Despite falling from a cliff over 500 meters high, Oskuro's descent speed in the air didn't resemble free fall.

As Oscuro fell, he looked in one direction of the forest, waved his hand, and changed his steps. The speed of his descent remained the same, but the direction changed, and he descended in that direction along with Oscuro's steps.

As he ran, Xilin sensed a surge of psychic energy rushing towards him. Xilin had only ever felt such a powerful psychic energy surge from Gada before.

It's too fast. Xilin has already pushed his speed to its limit, but the people behind him are rapidly closing the gap between them.

No wonder Gada said that escaping from Oscuro's clutches was extremely difficult.

Feeling the distance rapidly closing, Xilin drew his gun, but before he could even turn the muzzle, the barrel was snapped in two.

Xilin felt as if he had been punched by a huge fist, slamming hard against the stone wall behind him, and his whole body was embedded in the stone wall.

Before Xilin could even react, he was grabbed by the neck and dragged off the rock wall, his feet off the ground.

Osculo grabbed Xilin by the neck and lifted him up. He looked at Xilin, who was bleeding from multiple wounds on his head and body, and slowly said, "I'm really sorry to have let you live for so long."

Xilin was hit again, but this time he wasn't smashed into the stone wall; instead, he was forcibly pushed into the ground.

Xilin's physical attributes are quite good; many A-level gene combatants cannot match Xilin's physical strength. However, even with such physical strength, he suffered multiple bone fractures and his muscles seemed to be forcibly torn apart after being hit by Oskuro once.

Osculo was clearly a very experienced man who knew which bones, when broken, could render someone immobile.

Gada also said that Oscuro was a person who enjoyed torture and killing.

As Xilin listened to the sound of his bones being crushed, the immense pain did not interrupt his thoughts. In fact, each activation of the chip brought pain no less than the pain of his bones being crushed.

When Osculo crushes someone's bones, he is careful to preserve the nerves so that they can better transmit pain.

"It seems you're not bothered by this level of pain," Osculo said slowly.

Xilin didn't scream in pain, which displeased Oscuro. A thin, long knife, about the width of a finger, emerged from Oscuro's wrist.

"Actually, I really dislike Gada. He clearly wants to take my place, but he never does it himself. He always prefers to use others to deal with me. What I don't understand is, given Gada's old charlatan style, why would he waste his energy on you this time, letting me be entangled with the military for so long? Tell me, how am I supposed to repay this debt?"

Oskulo spoke as if they were old friends meeting, but he held a long knife in his hand and slashed at Sirin.

Inside the Sixth Fleet base.

Gray Cat was arguing with Sigma about a design, and Snowball chimed in, pointing fingers and spouting nonsense. west Ying didn't have time to get in the way.

But the gray cat suddenly stopped, its fur standing on end, its eyes as deep and unfathomable as a whirlpool in the deep sea.

Sigma, who was still rambling on about his reasons, noticed the gray cat's unusual behavior and stopped talking. Snowball and Doughball, who were standing nearby, backed away in unison. They sensed that the gray cat was acting very strangely, as if it was about to start a massacre at any moment.

Animals have very keen senses unconsciously. The little Lovags that were jumping around all around suddenly left and went to seek shelter from the big Lovags.

Just then, Yudi and his team's starship finally arrived at the base planet.

Alarms sounded at the base, and they quickly went into battle mode. But this time, the Lovagmon didn't come out; they all hid in their burrows. The baby Lovagmon trembled involuntarily, huddling against the adult Lovagmon as if that would give them a sense of security.

Because they had prepared in advance, they acted swiftly and efficiently. While directing his men to cover Yudi and his group's landing, they attacked the starship, determined not to let them land there.

Fortunately, the starship didn't seem to intend to force its way in; it simply circled around the perimeter.

When Yudi and his group finally landed safely at the base, Kari couldn't wait to tell Shorten about Sirin.

"Captain, quickly send someone to support Xilin, otherwise he'll easily get into trouble on his own!" Kari volunteered to join the rescue team.

Shorten looked at Yudi, "What did Sirin mean back then?"

Yudi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "He means he'll leave first, and then we'll find someone to rescue him."

Shorten was clearly thinking a step further than Kari. "Who was chasing after Sirin?"

"It's...Oscuro..."

"Who is Oskuro?" Kari asked, somewhat puzzled.

But Shorten and several members of the home team almost jumped up.

"What?! Osculo? Are you sure? Is it...is it that person?" Shorten pointed above his head, and everyone understood who Shorten was referring to as "that person".

Yudi nodded: "That's what Xilin said."

"Why would Oskuro target Xilin? That shouldn't be the case. Oskuro has always had very high standards..." a member of the home team muttered.

Upon hearing this, Yudi felt an urge to kick the person out immediately.

"Captain, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's quickly form a rescue team and go to the rescue, otherwise I'm afraid Xilin is in grave danger," Yudi urged.

"Hey, who exactly is this Oskuro you guys are talking about?" Kari was still clueless.

Another member of the main team explained, "Oskuro is the most unique and twisted lone hunter among the six hunters."

If we're talking about lone hunters, Kari definitely knows the oddballs among them, but he's not particularly fond of the name Oskuro.

"What!?" Kari was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Yudi and lifted him up, yelling, "Why the hell didn't you say so sooner? He'd be dead!"

Kari and Yudi both volunteered to join the rescue team, ignoring the disdainful looks from the main team members. The problem was, however, that a few old guys were seriously analyzing the cause of the incident.

Damn it, just because someone isn't from your team doesn't mean they deserve to be looked down upon and ignored! You old codgers, acting all high and mighty! Instead of wasting time analyzing the situation, you should be rushing to rescue people!

Xiao Shang and the others from the Sixth Squadron wanted to join the rescue team, but Xiao Dun refused. Since they were going to face Osculo, it was best to send the main squadron members. Sending too many squadron members wouldn't be of much help.

While Shorten was directing the fight against the starships roaming outside the planet and forming a rescue team, a huge hole suddenly burst open from the inside out at the base.

Shorten initially thought they were under attack, but upon seeing the gray cat transformed into its metallic form, he ordered his men to put away their guns and not fire at it.

After the gray cat jumped out, it roared loudly, and the sound wave almost made the people around it faint. Fortunately, the sound wave was not directed at them. If it had been directed at them, they would have been killed long ago.

The gray cat roared at the starship swaying outside the planet. After the roar, the monitors and displays on the starship all went into a scrambled state. Just as the scrambled state was finally restored, the gray cat roared again. But in this roar, a beam of white light shot out from the gray cat's mouth and shot straight at the starship.

The energy shield that was originally protecting the starship was torn open with a large hole by the direct hit of this beam of white light!

However, it was clear that the gray cat was not prepared to get entangled with them.

An unmanned aerial vehicle automatically flew out of the base.

A figure flashed by, and in a few leaps, he arrived beside the aircraft. Such jumping ability was not something an ordinary person could possess.

After Xiying entered the aircraft, Gray Cat also jumped on.
