To Love You Again - zChapter 753
Linfeng arrived alone.
His men had to follow the vehicles that left the building. According to his subordinates’ reports, the opposing party had the cargo. They left the captured prisoners here with some of their men.
Now that the safe and the hide-out were exposed, the enemy had to relocate.
“Master, we cannot save the spies. They are still in the building. We should prioritize the cargo first.”
“I am at the location right now. Just make sure that you get the cargo.”
“Yes, master. Please be careful. The rest of the men there were experts who had the same caliber as I.”
Linfeng made a sound of agreement.
He arrived at the abandoned factory soon after. The surroundings were quiet except for the sizzling sound from the fire.
Linfeng treaded carefully. He blended into the shadows and observed the burnt car remains not far away from him. There were many bullet shells on the floor. Dark blood pooled near the car as well. It looked like Xiong Zhi’s people fought hard.
He was not sure though if the spies who were in the building were still alive or dead.
But at least, this amount of time would not be enough to extract a confession.
Linfeng approached the building. The lights were lit on the third floor of the factory.
Quietly, he took out a gun and a silencer. After checking the bullets and the lock, he took out a slim knife from his coat.
His dark eyes scouted the surroundings.
There were at least twenty men in the building, confirming Lu Jin’s information.
Based on their aura, all of them were qi experts.
Linfeng carefully checked their qigong thoroughly. There were at least three people who would be a bit of trouble. If they went one on one against Linfeng, they would not win at all. However, if they ganged up on him with their weapons, it might be a bit troublesome.
However, Linfeng’s advantage was that they did not know his existence yet, as his qigong and killing intent was hidden well. He had to shorten their number little by little until Xiong Zhi’s backup arrived.
He retreated into the shadows and disappeared.
A scout looked around carefully while hiding behind a large pillar. He was observing his surroundings while preparing to report at any time.
Without any noise or presence, a pair of hands reached out from behind him. One hand covered his mouth and the other swiped at his throat.
Linfeng hid the body and picked up the transmitter. He fiddled with it a bit and made sure that the other side would not be able to detect any abnormalities in their scouts.
Then he sprinkled a kind of powder on the corpse and the blood pools. The powder had a formula that delayed the suffusion of the bloody scent in the air.
At the peripheral areas of the interior of the factory, one by one, the scouts dropped dead without a sound.
After hiding the body of the last scout on the first floor, Linfeng made sure to clean his gloves and added powder on them as well.
He stilled, listening to any sounds around him.
All clear.
Linfeng flitted silently to the second floor.
There were three men by the stairway.
Using the element of surprise and the shadows, he killed them in less than a minute. The effort was spent more on ensuring that no sound of falling bodies would alarm the others.
The three men only saw a shadow before their breath was taken away.
As he had to deal with three men at once, his actions were not completely silent.
However, the miniscule sound was completely covered by a pained growl.
“I said I d-on’t know! Arghh!”
A smell of burnt flesh permeated the third floor.
“Woman, you will not suffer like this if you just tell us. Who ordered you to come here?”
“I d-did not s-see their f-faces!”
“Liar! You don’t want to die so easily huh?”
Sizzzzle~
“Aaaaaa!”
Linfeng moved slightly with his back on the wall and peeked behind the wall. He saw a nȧkėd half-burnt woman surrounded by five huge men. Their bodies were on the way, so he could not see clearly what kind of torture they were doing.
However, the smell and the sounds were enough to tell him what was happening.
Linfeng glanced at the scorched body at the side. The burnt man beside the woman was clearly dead already.
The yellowing lightbulbs on the third floor were lit so it was impossible to hide in the shadows. He could only hide his presence and move forward.
He approached them soundlessly.
If any one turned around, they would immediately see him.
Linfeng knew that he could not kill them one at a time here. The others would surely be aware of his existence once he fired. If that was the case, then he needed to kill them fast, pick up the spy, then hide again inside the factory and look for the other spies.
Linfeng pointed his silenced gun at the person who was close to the woman. He was pouring something at the nȧkėd woman which made the woman scream in pain.
“Aaaahhhhh!!!!”
The man who was holding a hydrochloric acid was shot in the head. The middle of his brows blossomed with red, and his hand jerked sideways. The contents of the bottle of acid was poured to the man next to him instead.
“Fuck, idiot!” The man next to him yelled in pain and bowed while the flesh on his arm slowly burned.
While he was yelling, Linfeng had already killed the other two men who spun around and sensed him.
The third man realized that something was wrong and turned around with a gun, only to see Linfeng’s gun pointed at him.
His eyes widened as he tried to shout. “Ene-” Enemy!
Pew–!
The red hole appeared between his eyes, however, his finger had already pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets shot at the floor, and the exploding sound resounded in the factory.
“Trespassers are in! Get ready!”
All men within the area immediately sprung into action.
The man who was injured by the acid quickly used his companion’s dead body to shield himself from Linfeng’s bullet. With the other hand, he fired back.
Anticipating his move, Linfeng swiftly dodged the bullet and sprinted forward.
The others must have heard already. His priority now was the remaining living spy.
The man shielded by the dead body continued to fire his gun at Linfeng.
Linfeng bȧrėly avoided the bullets on his foot and grabbed one of the dead bodies. This room was bȧrė so there was nothing else to shield him. He kneeled, used the dead body as a cover, and exhaled.
He aimed his gun accurately at the same spot where he had shot the dead man.
Pew–!
The bullet went through the hole of the dead man’s body and penetrated the man’s ċhėst.
The man fell down on the floor with a groan.
