At 9:30 p.m., Monte Port, southern part, Yisaietlu District, a secluded abandoned factory. Luo An, fully armed, concealed himself using the cover of the night and various mechanical junk on the factory ground, gradually approaching the five-story building at the center of the abandoned factory. Soon, Luo An quietly hid outside the first floor of the building, in the shadow of an abandoned garbage truck, cautiously observing his surroundings while pressing the communicator by his ear and whispering: "I've reached the designated position, how about the others?" From a shadow on the other side of the building, Conrad's voice sounded: "Successfully reached the hiding area, how is the truck prepared?" Evelyn's voice followed closely, speaking gravely: "As soon as the undercover is rescued, we can leave immediately." Sean, also fully armed, quickly arrived at the planned area location, a vantage point on the distant eastern side. Reesi lay on the ground, positioning a sniper rifle equipped with day-night thermal imaging scope, and reported solemnly: "Everyone, there are people on the second, third, and fourth floors. I see nearly thirty patrolling guys, haven't seen the target." On the western vantage point, Mona placed a high-precision thermal imaging device linked to a computer next to her. Looking at the image on the computer, she said solemnly: "On the deepest part of the fourth floor, from the posture, the target person is currently tied and sitting on the floor, with three guards around." Luo An silently pulled out a bomb with a remote control from his pocket and tossed it into the adjacent abandoned garbage truck, then began moving towards the interior of the building. Silently flipping into the first floor of the building, then with a leap touching the wall, he climbed up to the second floor like a nimble monkey. Luo An hid behind a load-bearing wall, tilted his head to look forward, squinted his eyes and pressed the communicator: "Conrad, in your direction, the northwest corridor of the second floor, three people are tampering with a computer, suspected communication device." In an empty room on the first floor of the building, Conrad was mounting a remote-controlled bomb on the wall and responded: "Understood, I will destroy the enemy's communication device immediately." Luo An then switched channels and asked: "Sean, how's it going on your end?" In a hidden dark spot on the first floor, under the dim light of a flashlight overhead, Sean was quickly working on the wires, saying: "Almost done, give me one more minute." Everyone quietly waited, and within less than a minute, Sean's voice rang out again: "Preparations are complete." Relying on his "emotional perception", Luo An quickly moved from the shadow in these few seconds, installing remote bombs while evading patrolling enemies, and ran up to the third floor. As Sean's voice trailed off, Luo An hid behind a support pillar, unlocked his firearm safety, and whispered: "Everyone, get ready, follow my command." Luo An pulled out a stun grenade from his back waist, squinting at the nearby enemies: "Three... two... one! Start the action!" The next second, Conrad immediately activated the remote bomb and quickly headed to the second floor, as the deafening explosions suddenly sounded throughout the first floor of the building. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novęlfire.net Walls collapsed, glass shattered, three unsuspecting enemies were directly blown away by the explosion. Meanwhile, Sean blew up the main wires of the building, the lights flickered several times, and instantly the building plunged into darkness, causing the armed patrolling men to lose their sight. On the other side, from the eastern vantage point, as Luo An's voice trailed off, Reesi, supporting a rifle equipped with thermal imaging, immediately pulled the trigger, shattering the head of an enemy on the third floor. Glancing at the distant enemies who disappeared in the darkness, looking shocked and somewhat bewildered, Luo An stepped out of the darkness, first threw out the stun grenade, then raised his rifle and fired bullets. A dazzling white light flashed in the darkness, and three enemies only felt a sudden brightness before their minds went blank. Immediately after, nine gunshots rang out, two to the body one to the head, and Luo An helped the three enter deep slumber. "Move forward on the left, Luo An." The moment the three enemies fell, Mona's voice sounded in the communicator by Luo An's ear. She watched the scene on the computer and said: "There's a staircase on the left. On the fourth floor, five enemies are moving rapidly towards it. You can set up an ambush there." Having already sensed those five people through "Emotional Perception," Luo An smiled and quickly moved towards the stairwell on the left. In the dark, sensing the five beginning to descend, Luo An took out another stun grenade and gently tossed it over. Taking advantage of the moment the five were stiff, Luo An leapt up the stairs to the fourth floor, then sprinted straight towards the hostage's location. This area had emergency lighting. The three guards in charge saw a dark figure rushing towards them and without hesitation, raised their guns and pulled the triggers. The next second, under the incredulous gazes of the three guards, the shadow maneuvered left and right around the building's load-bearing columns, moving unimaginably fast to stand right in front of them. A stun grenade exploded, and the three enemies instinctively closed their eyes. Luo An then raised his rifle and fired, forcing them to close their eyes forever. Quickly moving to the side of the hostages on the ground, Luo An pressed his communicator and loudly said: "Hostages located, bring in the truck!" Hearing Luo An's order, Evelyn, who had been waiting, immediately shifted gears, turned the steering wheel, pressed the accelerator to the floor, and the truck roared backward, smashing through all obstacles on the road as it rushed towards the first floor of the building. Meanwhile, on the fourth floor, Luo An quickly neutralized a guard while patting the target person's face, asking: "Anita, how are you?" The woman in front of Luo An had large eyes; it was the undercover agent, Anita. Her originally delicate face was now covered in scars, bruises around her eyes and cuts at the corners of her mouth, multiple bleeding wounds on her forehead, clearly having been tortured by the enemy. Having her face patted a few times by Luo An, Anita slowly regained her senses, but her gaze was somewhat scattered: Luo An's brow furrowed slightly. Anita's condition was clearly due to being administered a truth serum, and quite a heavy dose. With the situation being urgent and no time to waste, Luo An didn't bother with more words. He quickly picked up Anita, carrying her on his shoulder and moved swiftly towards the truck, pressing the communicator: "Hostage rescued, everyone prepare to evacuate!" There were still many enemies in the building. After an initial surprise attack, they quickly started to organize an effective counterattack. The mission was only to rescue hostages, not to engage them head-on. At the first floor, Sean, who couldn't raise his head due to enemy fire, immediately responded, threw a grenade, and hurriedly retreated, following the predetermined route towards the truck. Reesi and Mona in the distance were not in a hurry. Because they were far away, in the action plan, they were among the last to leave, with pre-arranged vehicles under the buildings they were in. Luo An's retreat went smoothly; using his "Emotional Perception," he continually bypassed the enemies rushing to pursue him, arriving second only to Sean at the truck. Just as he handed Anita over to Sean, Conrad's urgent voice suddenly rang through the communicator: "Everyone! There's a problem with the enemy's communication devices! I need help!"
