A thumb flicked the match several times before the ignition finally produced a bright flame.
Boom!
The thunder shook the air as a man brought the match close to his mouth, covering the flame from the harsh wind.
The cigarette's tip glowed red as he took a deep drag. He removed it and blew out the smoke.
"Hey, brother, I want to smoke too," another man said, patting the first man's shoulder.
"Okay, let me help you," the man with the lighter replied, but as he moved to help his companion, his cheek was splashed by a sticky substance.
Withdrawing his hand quickly, he touched his face and tried to see the wetness on his palm. His eyes widened as the lightning behind them cast light.
Red.
The sticky substance was blood. He hadn't even had time to speak before his consciousness faded away.
The two men on the sentry tower fell limp on the floor.
Everything happened too fast. A few meters away, shadows moved through the bushes toward the two dead men.
Another flash of lightning illuminated the sky, briefly revealing the visitors: military-grade helmets, NVGs, Kevlar, and MCU camouflage suits.
"Sentries down. Kilo 6 providing overwatch."
"Roger, Kilo 5 breaching in."
Several black figures moved forward. One group approached the fence in a wedge formation.
One member slung her rifle back and pulled out a device. Another stayed close to provide cover, while the rest scanned the sectors.
"You sure the laser cutter will work in the rain?" the Spirit Fox operator providing cover asked hesitantly.
The breacher paused for a tenth of a second before continuing to tweak the device. "I think you haven't read the manual yet."
"Hehe..." The former chuckled nervously and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about this."
"Well, at least your education level isn't so low that you can't understand rainfall poses no obstacles." The latter switched the device on, and a short blue beam formed.
She quickly aimed it at the fence and cut a doorway, large enough for a person to enter. Pushing the separated part of the wire inward, she made way for her team.
"Kilo 5 going in."@@@@
The operators on standby immediately filed in, covering every angle with their assault rifles. Despite the uneven terrain and wet ground, the team stuck together in formation.

A dozen Kilo 5 operators split into two teams and locked onto two entry points for Building 7. There were multiple entries, and they selected the closest two.
Without needing rehearsal or further orders, the operators swiftly positioned themselves. "Kilo 5 clearing Building 7, moving interior."
Eight members infiltrated while the remaining two stood back-to-back, covering the L-shaped perimeter outside. The thunder overhead masked every movement, aiding their stealth.
Room after room, they silently cleared the building. In one room, card players with weapons close at hand were engrossed in fierce betting, oblivious to any danger.
The operator pulled out her suppressed pistol and fired without hesitation.
Seven shots to the head. Seven targets down. She fired additional rounds to confirm the kills, then made a tactical reload.
Holstering her pistol, she switched back to her primary weapon and signaled her partner to advance, ensuring the enemies' weapons were disarmed.
Actually, there was no need to replace secondary weapon to fire for fear that sounds might compromise stealth, as the thunder and heavy rain masked everything.
Some rooms housed sleeping women. The operators stepped quietly, scanning the area for weapons before silently closing the door and moving on without disturbing anyone.
In a few rooms, children slept alongside women. Spirit Fox operators retreated without disturbing the non-combatants but remained vigilant.
They didn't have to think too hard—these children and women were likely forced to be there. Who knew if some had been tortured or forced to give birth? These poor kids might not know and enjoy the happiness ordinary children should have.
If Spirit Fox didn't intervene, these children's fate would be sealed. They would become conscripts, slaves, or militia, losing any sense of right and wrong, obeying their warlord's orders without question. Pitiful.
Yes, those killed today may have been children who grew up in these conditions, but their hands were stained with blood and sin. Spirit Fox wouldn't lose sleep over such things.
Puff. Puff.
These strange noises, irregularly popping, went unnoticed. Those still awake didn't even bother checking for falling bodies or thuds. In this place, bullying, beatings, and even screams were routine.
Sometimes, the operators encountered women working like servants, watching them with numb expressions. With gestures of silence, the operators would knock them out gently, pressing on key acupuncture points and cuffing their hands behind. Tapes were put over the mouth as well.
As for those who tried to resist or scream, the operators were ruthless, covering their mouths and slamming them to the ground before knocking them out.
Men who showed no defiance or were innocent from the start received the same treatment. But those who tried to warn others were silenced permanently.
From their demeanor, gestures, and unspoken cues, Spirit Fox operators made quick decisions about identities.
Uncertain? No problem. The operators used tasers—sophisticated, pistol-like devices that fired rounds to incapacitate targets without the need for wires. Only when they were sure of a threat did they resort to lethal force.
Building 7 was cleared of any threats within minutes, without raising an alarm. Eight operators made entry, then split into smaller teams to cover more ground, with a minimum of two operators per group.
"Kilo 6, Kilo 5 has secured Building 7, we'll now be providing overwatch. Bound forward."
"Copied, Kilo 5."
Kilo 5 members in the building quickly initiated a secondary clearance, leaving behind closed doors. Afterward, some operators cleared the rooftop and took high ground for support.
The two outside containing Building 7, retired from their duties and entered the building to shield themselves from the precipitation after seeing Kilo 6 operators surpassing their position.
The building Kilo 6 secured went unimpeded and without hindrance. The speed was much quicker since most slept except a few who roamed around compared to Building 7.
