I deployed a little camera drone on my sector to check for any dangers on the walls I am about to breach. Unlike Kyosei’s area which are all chain-link fences and easy to breach, my area needed to me to climb it to infiltrate. I can’t use the front gate since it is the main base’s defense. They must be fighting using the little barracks outside the bases to fight against the dead during Night Rage so the chain-link fences are enough to stop the dead.

After the scouting is done, I recall the drone and keep it back to my backpack before I checked the wall if it is good enough to be scaled. The wall is rough but it has a flat surface without any good rock peeking out, which is a bad thing for me because it cannot be scaled properly.

I circled around the walls to check any sort of places I can take advantage of and thankfully, I managed to spot a little wood enough to attach a grappling hook on it. Because I don’t have a grappling hook like Kyosei do, the sheng biao will do as an alternative. Swinging the Sheng Biao and with a little timing, I managed to attach it firmly.

Once it is done, I started climbing up to the wall and notice that there is an unsuspecting guy currently leaning on the edge of the wall. He is unaware and he is alone, guarding in that particular place. Because he has not noticed me in any way, I took this chance to silence him. With the hidden blade, I stab him on his nape, which pierces through, the blade went out to his throat.

With that, he died and it is now safe to proceed. It was a good thing this hidden blade works like wonders in assassination. If I have this weapon back in my assassin days, I might have silenced multiple targets in the past. But that is all in the past, I need to move on and continue with the current situation.

Seeing the current area is devoid of people compared to the main entrance, I assume the gangsters are on the preparation phase of the raid so they have been trying to mobilize many men as many as they can to make sure our base will fall. It is a good opportunity for us to destroy their defense from within.

I went down the walls and made sure there are no gangsters nearby. Since the front entrance of the building is full of guards, I didn’t bother to check it out. I looked around and saw an emergency fire exit ladder from the second floor. Unfortunately, it is locked and if I try to shoot the lock, I am quite sure they would be alerted. So, just like how I did scale the walls earlier, I throw the sheng biao to the emergency ladder that is currently locked and it attached its blade firmly to the edge of the ladder.

Taking precautions that this thing won’t collapse once I try to use it, I yank it a few times before I managed to make sure this won’t fall off. The locked emergency ladder isn’t that high so I can easily reach it if I try to swing and do a wall run before transferring straight to edge of the ladder. I am confident to my flexible reflexes so without waiting a long time, I grab the rope of the sheng biao and hang on it a little bit before swinging it side by side so that I can reach the wall adjacent to the ladder. Once the momentum is enough I released myself from the sheng biao, started to do a wall run to the wall the moment my feet landed to the flat surface. I made my run as far as I can get to and when I am on the verge of falling, I exerted a force on my feet and ejected myself from the wall and sending me to the opposite direction.

CLANK!

I almost slipped off from the edge but managed to get a good grip of the ledge, I quickly climb up from it, allowing me access to the safe platform of the ladder. After retrieving the sheng biao, I proceed to climb the emergency exit to reach the second floor safely. Now the breach is done easily and I am now ready to get inside the building’s second floor.

Since the breach is finally done, I check the door to the emergency exit and found it locked, however, the window beside it has no pane attached to it and I can easily fit inside it without any problem. I peek inside first to make sure no one is around and when I confirm the lack of presence of the gangsters, I went inside and pull out the piyavka knife in my back ready in case an attack happened while my other hand is ready to pull the Glock 19 in case shooting will soon begin.

It was fortunate that the area I was in is devoid of anyone. Since no one is around, I decided to check the third floor since the stairwell that leads to the upper floor is currently right next to the emergency exit door.

Slowly climbing the stairs upstairs, I ready myself for any encounter against an enemy but it seems things are too quiet. There are no people around but there are some sounds in the area with cheers and different kind of noises.

I frown hearing this because I also hear some sort of faint female squeals on the room just next to the ladder of the third floor. I check the doorknob and found it open. It isn’t lock at all allowing me to peek inside.

What I saw is the act of s.e.x.u.a.l assault of the gangsters to a woman in the bed that is tied up on both hands and legs. There are 7 men inside and they are currently tearing the remaining clothes covering her body.

No one notices me peeking so before I attack, I bring down the night vision googles down to my eyes and activate the thermal scanning feature it has and took out the smokescreen on my waist and pull the pin of it before allowing it to roll inside the room.

”F*ck! Where is this smoke coming from?! What is going on?!”

”Turn the fan on!”

”Idiot! We only have air conditioner here! There is no fan! Also, I can’t see a single sh*t!”

With the people inside on chaos, I went inside the room, closed the door and begin the massacre. Using the hidden blade to silently kill the others one by one, the seven guys were easily disposed and since the room is closed, the smoke didn’t dissipate too much allowing me to finish all the necessary job.

Once the guys are dead, I cut off the restraints on the woman’s hands and legs and gave her a cover.

”Cover yourself and wait here for now. If you don’t like the scenery of their corpses, you can drag them to one side and cover them to avoid looking at them. Wait for the chaos and keep an eye on the area. If you notice that some people are running and are mostly slaves taken here, you can also escape too. This place will become a battlefield soon.”

The woman nodded in response and I left her behind after her rescue before going to another area of the third floor. There are some guards here and there but they are easy to dispose and I managed to defeat them without much trouble. The sheng biao helped a lot with the kills as they can strangle anyone can also impale their throats if I needed to.

No one still noticed my presence as I slowly harvest all of the lives of the people who are affliated with the gangsters and are trying to be part of their crimes. I rescued many people in the process including children and I am not sure why there are so many prisoners here than I can ever count for in a base.

I barely see any male prisoner aside from the children though they can’t be said to be proper men as they are still too young to protect themselves. So what happened to the males?

As I inspected the next room, a very pungent smell of rotting flesh emanates in the air and even if you are wearing a face mask to cover the smell, it was too strong that the face masks are not enough to stop it from covering the smell.

What I saw are several bodies of dead men being hanged on the hook like some sort of meat. Out of all disgusting things I have seen in my entire life, this scenery tops up the gross things I have seen in my whole life. The rope dart is a long rope (usually 3–5 metres or 10–16 feet) with a metal dart attached to one end. This was a weapon from ancient times, which allows the user to throw the dart out at a long-range target and use the rope to pull it back. The rope dart can be used for twining, binding, circling, hitting, piercing, tightening, slashing and other techniques.
