Due to the nature of the situation, I advised the rest of the captives to remain inside their cells for a moment but they will keep the keys to open the locks of their cells because of the dangers outside. Since it is not yet safe to venture outside especially with all the gangsters still looming all around the place from every nook and corners, having them tagging along with me will only bring more harm than helpful for me.

Thankfully, they are understanding on the situation and they obediently remained in the cells. I gave them the key to their respective cells and instructed them that once I arrive or someone from their batch of captives came to fetch, they are now safe to be escorted out of the cell.

Once that was taken care of, I went out again and traverse the second floor for anything. Around the stairs area that leads to the third floor, a dead body is lying in there, which means this was the work of Kaito who also infiltrated this place with me. It looks like he went ahead and started clearing the third floor.

I don’t want to go and interrupt his work for now so I went ahead and explore the second floor’s rooms that I have not explored yet. Who knows, there might be something I missed out and I have not explored it yet to its entirety.

Second floor is composed of many rooms that I did not open yet. My assumption is that this floor is the sleeping quarters and the jail room of the base. I thought it was like that because the rooms that I have opened so far has the basic commodities found in a bedroom and there are also clothes and some cabinets inside. I even opened a room with some people inside but I already killed them whenever they are not looking.

Contrary to my expectation, the second floor is not that crowded aside from the several gangsters that are walking around the hallways. They are not patrolling the hallways but they are just loitering around, making them easy pickings for assassination and they are not even worth much when they are killed.

After a few minutes of checking the rooms, I fully explored the floor only to find nothing significant except for the small jail where some of the girls are kept inside. All of the guards that are in the area are all dead by my surprise attacks, leaving not a single one to see what happened here.

There are no possible choice for me this time around but to check the first floor for any point of interest I might stumble on.

On the first floor, things are a lot more hectic and busy as I see different people walking around. There are also more active people preparing for things up and about which means the main focus of the areas is the first floor. I have to time myself to avoid their gazes  while sneaking around. If the people that are nearby ended up alone, I won’t hesitate to eliminate them and hide them somewhere in a blind spot.

After a little bit of sneaking around for quite a while, I overheard one of the men stationed in the area currently discussing about the raid. For me to properly hear things out, I decided to check out the conversation by hiding in a nearby cache of boxes laid out near them.

”Man, its been 5 days since the last raid and now we have another target in sight?”

”Of course! They made sure that they can target a bigger group. According to their intel, there are many women that we can play once we capture and there are lots of supplies that are being stored inside their warehouse.”

”Oh! That is a pleasant surprise! Loot is much valuable in raiding and the people inside is just a secondary thing. The more guns and weapons we have, the more powerful we will become!”

”Come on now, if we are raiding it the usual way, why are we almost mobilizing the whole group? Shouldn’t we just deploy the usual guys? Besides, there are those people inside that managed to sneak in, I am sure they will carry out the plan successfully to make sure the operation is a success!”

”Naw man, this group is apparently very strong, and I heard that this group is currently trying to reclaim some of the surroundings slowly but surely and converting those places as their home. Creating Outposts I might say.”

”Oh well, we can’t say for sure but that only means we are going to deal some big shots today!”

They then notice the guy beside them who is not responding to their conversation, the guy just remained standing.

”Hey... what are you doing? Why are you not speak-” they didn’t get to say anything next because the guy they are just having conversations with spit out blood and died before falling down the ground.

”Wah!”

They didn’t expect anything before I leap out and attack them with throwing knives, hitting their throats in succession, causing them to bleed. One was not killed immediately but his throat is still bleeding. The throwing knife I throw to him just lodged inside his throat and is currently causing his breathing to get ragged.

”Wh...who?!”

I emerged from my hiding spot and kicked him on his stomach causing him to fall to the ground with shock on his face still imprinted.

”Enjoy the fun times you guys dreamed in the afterlife,” I said before stepping on the throwing knife on his throat, lodging it deeper into his throat which claimed his life after.

After their death, I retrieve the knives and check on their equipment. They have a few bullets for rifles in their pockets and some trinkets, cigarettes and some other things though they are not interesting at least.

I was about to go and find another target to attack when I suddenly heard one of the men’s radio buzz and started speaking.

”To anyone who can hear this, please proceed to the meeting room as we are now about to commence the raid to a survivor base. We will be issuing some final info on what to do once the raid commences. Please proceed immediately to the meeting room.”

Oh, so they are now going to start the raid to our base? Damn, they are sure serious about this but that means this is time to sabotage on their raid.

I cleared up the dead bodies and made sure they are not going to be discovered by dragging their bodies and putting them on the crates to be disposed. The blood is not that a big problem but the people themselves. It takes me a few minutes before I managed to hide away their bodies. Thankfully, the timing is good enough since no one approached the area and there aren’t any who seems to be going to the meeting room.

Seeing that they are going to be on a raid soon, I decided to check on their vehicles on their garage. Thankfully, due to the roll call earlier, the entrance of the building is now deserted as they are also part of the raid and they are the essentials. Seeing none of them guarding it, I safely went to their garage and sneak in.

There are still a two mechanics inside busy doing their final preparations. Since they cannot walk towards our base with the amount of people they will be bringing along, they will be assured to be going to use the vehicles. One of the mechanics went out of the bottom of the car, just finished with the last bit of the maintenance. Just as he have thought he is done, my face appeared before his face causing him to shriek.

”Goodnight and have a pleasant dream.”

STAB!

As for the second guy, he is not aware of the fate of the other mechanic as he is still busy on the other car, fixing some bolts on the attached bumper. I tap his shoulders but he just shrug it off.

”Oy, stop pestering me man, the cars are still not that good yet. Do not disturb me if you don’t want me to get angry.”

I continue tapping his shoulder, causing him to shake in anger and decided to confront me, thinking the one tapping his shoulders is the other mechanic. However, the moment he turned around, his eyes met with a very peculiar hole, a metallic hole that whoever stares in it without knowing anything would surely be going to an unforgettable trip to the afterlife.

BANG!

The gunshot just echoed the whole base, which is also the sign of my declaration.
