[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Not only because it's the captain's order, but also because this task really needs someone to do it, so why can't it be you?

You nodded: "Received."

So, the car immediately turned around, and as it passed a large truck, you deftly opened the door, jumped out, and did it all in one smooth motion!

The slow speed of the vehicle and the obstructed view from the large truck allow you to take cover smoothly.

To avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion and to allow for free movement, you took off your hazmat suit. Anyway, there wouldn't be any poisonous gas here for a while, and Reina couldn't very well poison himself first.

So after you take off the hazmat suit, you put all the equipment inside the suit, wrap it up, and carry it by hand.

From a distance, it looks like a girl in casual clothes carrying a black bag, or a bag of trash.

You patted your face lightly, then ran into the residential building next to the road in a panic.

You wander through the alleyways of the residential buildings, find the tallest building, and then run up the outer staircase to reach the top floor.

After figuring out the direction, you arrived at the door of a house.

The door is made of very thick material; it's difficult to break open unless you use a bomb.

But now is not the time to make a big fuss...

So you raised your hand and knocked on the door.

"who!"

A man's wary and panicked voice came from inside. It seemed that everyone had seen the news about the poison gas bomb, so no one dared to go out or open their door.

Your sudden interruption will naturally make people tremble with fear.

You immediately raised your voice: "Sir, please help me! I've been kicked out by my landlord! I'm so scared being out here all alone, sob... Please help me..."

"I'm an international student, and I really have nowhere else to go. Please help me..."

Your timely sobs expressed your utter helplessness.

Footsteps sounded in the room, getting closer and closer, until they stopped by the door.

You know he's definitely watching you through the peephole, so you keep up your act.

"please..."

Your hair and face, soaked by the rain, make you look disheveled and pitiful.

"Little girl, I'm not a kind person. My help... will cost you."

You immediately replied, "How much money do you want? I can give it to you!"

The man scoffed, "What use is money now! Just agree to become one of my people, and I'll let you in. Or, you can choose to die out there."

After feigning a struggle for a while, you then said with a look of fear:

"I don't want to die, please let me in!"

The door clicked open, unlocking one lock, then the next, until finally it was pulled open a crack.

A man who is not physically strong, with messy hair and a small mustache, appears in front of you.

He stared at you greedily, then raised his hand towards you.

"My beauty, come in quickly."

You force a smile through your tears and thank him, saying, "Thank you for your help, sir."

Then, he strode into the room, his eyes quickly pinpointing the location he wanted as he walked.

Behind me, the door locked again, followed by hurried footsteps.

Just as the man reaches out to hug you, you swiftly and decisively seize him!

Finally, you tie the man up and gag him with clothes to prevent him from making noise and disturbing you.

You open the hazmat suit containing the guns and equipment, and under the man's terrified gaze, you step on his shoulder, raise the gun, aim at him, and issue a threat with a light laugh.

"Don't make a sound, or I'll shut you up forever, understand?"

The man whimpered twice and nodded immediately. Then, seemingly realizing that he had made a sound, he stopped and buried his head in the floor, unable to look at you.

You were pleased with his tact, so you turned around, opened the window a crack, and then held the gun up to it.

As you adjust the camera, it gradually zooms in on distant scenery.

In the distance, three abandoned buildings stand like lonely tombstones on the barren land. Peeking through the windows, you can vaguely see a few figures moving around.

If you increase the magnification of your scope further, you'll see a man in a black hoodie smoking with his back to the window next to the concrete railing of the second-floor balcony on the right. The red dot of his cigarette flickers in the darkening sky, and the rising smoke blurs his face.

After a long and silent observation, the layout of the three buildings became clear in your mind.

The main outpost is on the left, the outer perimeter is on the right, and the building in the middle is protected, which should be the core area. It is estimated that Reina is hiding there.

You immediately reported the situation to Koenig, and as expected, you received the order to remain on the spot and observe.

ch.325: Send it back to Reina

"Received. I wish you a successful operation."

You offer them your blessings, then continue to stare at those buildings.

The heavy rain outside the window kept falling, and the damp, cold air seeping in through the cracks made your nose feel a little sore.

You take off the elastic mask that's wrapped around your wrist, slip it over your head and around your neck, then pull it up to cover your face, leaving only a pair of focused black eyes visible.

The circular magnifying glass steadily reflects the images of several abandoned buildings, conveying the real-time situation to you.

Through the earpiece, Koenig and his teammates were talking, discussing how to get closer to the abandoned building.

Koenig naturally advocates a strong offensive, but you only have nine people in total, while the number of the enemy is unknown. Acting rashly will put you at a disadvantage.

"One of us can take on ten of them."

Koenig was not afraid. The two had sparred before at the Cameron police station, and it had to be said that there was a big difference between police officers and soldiers, especially when compared to a special operations assault soldier like Koenig.

You stare through the scope, slowly moving the lens to observe, while calmly advising him:

"That's just you, Captain. Besides, there might be regular soldiers inside, plus plenty of ammunition and supplies. We're going to be in a tough spot."

"Either launch a surprise attack or wait for reinforcements."

Hailin joined the discussion.

"The nearest squad will take at least three hours to get here, we can't wait!"

To divide you up, the three generals have separated you and deployed you in an ABCABC pattern. So if you want to contact the nearest squad for support, you have to go over the other two squads.

The time spent during this period, and whether the other two teams will discover it, are both issues.

The best way to finish quickly is to team up with the two nearest squads, but then the credits will be unclear.

You may not care, but others may. At the top, the generals want to claim all the credit, and at the bottom, the troops complete the mission independently so that the resources and rewards they receive don't have to be shared with other troops.

Given ten thousand yuan, should one take it all or only a third? I believe most people would know the choice.

Moreover, you don't actually have a choice; if you want support, you have to apply, and it requires the commander or deputy commander's approval and order.

You quietly suggest, "Request support first, see what the captain says, and then we can formulate a surprise attack plan now."

"But the environment of the abandoned building is too difficult to approach."

A few lonely abandoned buildings, surrounded by barren land within two hundred meters. Any creature that gets too close can be detected immediately. How can one approach silently in such an environment?

You suddenly remember what Kruger had told you when he was teaching you.

Never completely trust what your eyes see, because you can only see what they want you to see.

A sudden idea flashed through your mind, and then your tone revealed a calm and composed demeanor.

"Kornig, listen up! Go and load Oris and the others' bodies into the truck and take them back to Reina!"

Since we can't launch a sneak attack, let's have a fair and square sneak attack!

You were so focused on the camera that you didn't realize you were calling out Koenig's name, and that your tone carried a commanding tone.

The squad channel was silent for a while before Koenig's voice came through:

"I understand."

Then, Koenig's instructions came through the headphones.

You nodded in satisfaction. Although Koenig is impulsive and straightforward, that doesn't mean he's not smart.

On the contrary, he is very smart, so smart that he can understand the meaning of your words.

He simply knows what he wants; the mundane details of daily life aren't worth his time.

Half an hour later, in the twilight, two SUVs came into view.

With their headlights on, they moved at a moderate speed, maintaining a straight course as they leisurely drove towards the abandoned building.

The abandoned building, shrouded in night, was not dark; instead, it glowed with a warm light.

The light source was very scattered and weak; one might mistake it for an oil lamp lit by a homeless person.

The lookouts spotted the two "uninvited guests" and immediately reported it over the walkie-talkie.

Several armed men ran out of the abandoned building, aiming their guns at the SUV. Someone saw people sitting inside the vehicle and immediately informed their companions.

"There were no license plates, and the people inside were all wearing masks, so you couldn't see their faces."

Driving to such a remote place late at night wearing a mask looks suspicious!

Moreover, the other party looked completely relaxed, not taking them seriously at all!

Upon hearing this, a man with a cigarette in his mouth immediately ordered, "Stop them."

Without hesitation, the bullet flew out and pierced the tire of the first car!

The car swayed slightly, slowed down, and was then pushed forward by the rear of another car behind it, continuing to move towards them.

Something's not right...

The man with the cigarette in his mouth whispered.

The continuous firing finally caused the two vehicles to sway wildly a few times before being forced to stop.

Several people cautiously stepped forward, past the headlights, and finally saw the driver.
