[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

"Koenig, you've been staring at me. Is there something you need to talk to me about?"

Unexpectedly, after you spoke to him, Koenig stared at you for several seconds before snapping out of his daze and uttering a compliment.

"YN...you look beautiful today, like...like a princess..."

You were stunned. Even though you were wearing a French-style dress today, it didn't warrant being praised as a princess, did it?

But who doesn't like compliments? So, give him a generous smile and respond:

"Thank you for your compliment, Koenig."

You chatted for a while longer, and the topic turned to the mission. Since Koenig's role as the assault vanguard was quite dangerous, you offered him your blessings.

"Koenig, I wish you all the best on your mission, and may you hit the bullseye every time!"

You raise both hands, make fists, place them in front of your chest, and then pound them up and down twice.

This is the gesture Koenig made to you last time; you later looked it up and found it meant "good luck."

Koenig's eyes, which had been half-closed beneath his mask, widened slightly, and his voice was filled with excitement.

"yn, I like this blessing!"

After saying that, he made a fist and punching motion!

The police acted quickly as well. They had the arrested buyers contact the drug kingpin, reprimanding them for the impure nature of their shipment and urging them to order another batch as soon as possible.

After some haggling and negotiation, in order to appease this stable customer, the drug manufacturers had no choice but to agree to rush to produce another batch.

To produce new goods, new materials are needed. As expected, Codd received another call from his contact, asking him to deliver the goods again.

However, since Cod and his group have already been arrested by you, they certainly cannot show their faces anymore.

However, in order to keep track of the enemy's movements, the local police offered Cod a deal: if he cooperated fully, they would not only reduce his sentence but also treat his arm.

Few prisoners who have already been captured and are injured would refuse this condition.

So Cod made an excuse that he had just delivered one and didn't want to take any risks, and then introduced another group of deliverymen to them.

As for the other group of deliverymen, Codd, citing his desire not to share customers, chose to act as their intermediary.

Then, he gave the contact information for the police to the person he was meeting.

In this way, not only will the police have a grasp of both parties' movements, but they can also drag another delivery gang into the mess.

ch.95: Abandoned Building

Three days later, thanks to the police's lax enforcement, the new transport gang easily brought in the materials.

The police also conducted a perfunctory search, leaving the area as it was to avoid arousing suspicion.

On the very day they successfully made contact, you immediately deployed covert measures at the target's residence and abandoned building.

Late at night, the target went out, and the five of them drove two cars slowly towards the suburbs.

Wang Zhiqiang, as the leader of the first squad, immediately reported the situation.

"This is A-1, the target has been dispatched."

A moment later, the voices of the other three squad leaders came through the headset.

"D-1 received."

"B-1 received."

"C-1 received."

After tracking for a while, Wang Zhiqiang suddenly realized something was wrong!

The vehicle was driving too slowly and the route was erratic, repeatedly bypassing nearby intersections...

"This is A-1. The target may be conducting counter-reconnaissance. Team A, stay concealed and don't follow too closely."

After speaking to his squad, Wang Zhiqiang then reported to Ghost:

"D-1, I might be a little late getting here, please keep an eye on things."

You are lurking on the top floor of the outermost building in the abandoned building complex.

This place is too far out and too exposed, so criminals won't use it as a drug production site, but it's convenient for you to hide and carry out your operations.

After all, there are more than a dozen buildings here, and they don't have time to check them all carefully. For areas that are not in the core area, they just take a quick look and at most use drones to fly over them from the air again.

There are five of you. You and the ghost are in the leftmost room, while Vita, Rowe, and Taliss are in the rightmost room.

You hide in the doorway, while the ghost hides in the corner between the window sill and a wooden frame.

His low, hoarse voice echoed in the dimly lit and quiet room.

"D-1 understood."

Then came a long silence.

The ghost made no more sound, and you dared not make a sound either, even your breathing became soft and even shallow...

until...

"This is A-7. An unidentified vehicle has been spotted approaching the abandoned buildings."

Unidentified vehicles are those whose license plates are not listed in the information you have received.

Are they other groups associated with the target?

Soon, a new announcement came through the earpiece:

"This is A-3. I've also spotted an unidentified vehicle approaching the abandoned buildings."

Another one! You gasp for breath. How many people are they expecting to bring?

If dozens of them come, carrying a large number of weapons, your mission will likely suffer heavy losses.

Fortunately, no new unidentified vehicles were reported for a long time afterward.

After arriving at the abandoned buildings, the two unidentified vehicles indeed used drones to quickly survey the surrounding buildings.

Fortunately, you anticipated this situation and had the other team members lie in ambush in the distance, while only the five of you infiltrated first.

The point is to avoid their inspection. Too many people might be easily exposed. At worst, you can take care of the leader first, and then let Koenig and his men break in.

After quickly inspecting the outer buildings, the group left two people to guard the outermost perimeter while the others slowly approached the building in the far corner. They then carefully inspected that building and the three surrounding buildings before taking out their phones and making a call.

"Boss, everything's fine at the factory."

In the quiet of the night, you can still faintly hear a man's voice in the distance.

It seems they refer to the drug production site as a factory, and they are also checking the safety on behalf of their leader first.

They split into three groups, with Allah coming last; they were quite vigilant.

More than ten minutes later, the message you had been waiting for finally came through the earpiece.

"This is A-3. Two target vehicles have been spotted and are approaching the abandoned buildings."

Gates replied decisively: "B-1 received."

Koenig chuckled: "C-1...received."

Hearing Koenig's slightly arrogant tone, you frowned with a puzzled look. Is this how he is during missions?

Because you are hiding here, and drug dealers are nearby, it's inconvenient to make noise, so...

In the dark room, through a sliver of moonlight shining through the window, you receive the ghost's gaze, and can only helplessly clench your teeth, making a squeaking sound.

This is your secret code, used to indicate receipt and understanding when it's inconvenient to speak.

Soon after, the two vehicles belonging to the target drove into the abandoned building complex.

The ghost clung to the windowsill, staring intently at the movements outside. The pale moonlight shone on his skull mask, lending it an eerie, ghostly aura, making the skull seem as if it might rise from the dead at any moment...

After all the drug dealers below entered the building representing the factory, Ghost raised his hand and made a gesture. Upon seeing this, you immediately tiptoed out from the shadows of the door.

Then, you carefully crouched down and peered out of the stairwell, walked behind the railing, and exchanged a glance with Luo Wei in the distance.

After you nodded to each other to confirm, you slowly stood up, each of you taking a silenced gun and aiming it at the two guards at the entrance.

After aiming at the target's head in your direction, you clicked your tongue to give a signal, and then the next second, your bullets and Rowe's bullets flew out of the muzzle almost simultaneously!

"clatter--"

The bullets pierced the foreheads of two targets, who staggered a couple of steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud!

You and Luo Wei immediately shrink back into your bodies!

A few seconds later he leaned out again, but this time he was facing inwards from the building.

You know, he was observing the enemy inside, wondering if they would suddenly come out.

Quickly turn on your headphones and whisper into them in a low voice:

"Team D has eliminated the two targets at the entrance. Please take over as soon as possible."

The other targets are now in the innermost building, so you can use a headset to communicate, but it's best to keep the volume down as much as possible.

The reason for notifying them is that criminals nowadays are too cunning and vigilant. It is routine for the guards outside to report information from time to time to ensure that no accidents have occurred.

Therefore, if the guards die, you need to take over their phones or machines, use network technology to quickly crack them, and then take over their operation to prevent other targets inside from discovering the loss of contact outside.

Although the target may not necessarily operate in this way this time, it's still necessary to check just in case.

Even if there isn't one, moving the body away is still a cleanup task.

"B-1 received."

Gates replied to you, and the ghosts in the room, along with Vita, also came out.

As planned, Talis went up to the roof, while you stayed in the rooms downstairs.

Once on the roof, Talis fired the hook-and-anchor launcher he had been carrying at the target roof!

Vita checked the scope and nodded in confirmation: "Correct landing point."

Then Talis quickly pulled the rope back, and after confirming that the grappling hook was caught on the concrete railing of the opposite rooftop, he lowered the rope down from the rooftop, right in front of your room's window.
