Seowon smashed the tribe to see the motion surveillance sensors installed on the stairs leading to the basement.

Your Movement Speed is slower. However, where he passed by, darkness was created, invisible to him.

Upon reaching the second floor, he recalled the subterranean structure of the republic palace, tangled in spider silk.

Two vertical passageways exist just as shown in the blueprint. Other than that, we don't know how many secret passageways are not listed in the blueprint, such as the elevator used to go up to the roof. This means that if you suddenly encounter an enemy in an unexpected place here, it is not strange at all.

The interference device has a very high probability of being installed prior to intrusion.

It would be a pretty heavy piece of equipment to interfere with the spread of the entire Republic Palace complex.

I would have disassembled and transported a machine the size of a human body couldn't have been brought in at once, and the person who brought it in is likely Lance Stevenson, an interior free from security searches.

The vows reminded me of Lance Stevenson. 175 centimeters tall, average adult before and after 70 kilograms in weight.

Fragile Lance Stevenson would have installed a radio jammer by choosing as few places as humanly possible, rather than moving heavy equipment deeper underground.

Seowon thought there was a strong possibility of interference on the second floor of the basement.

In front of the iron door leading to the second floor of the basement, Seowon breathed.

Be very nervous when opening the door to get out of the dark into the light or out of the locker room. Even if the enemy is far away, the bullet they fire is faster than his body's response rate.

The vows were thoroughly supported by modern technology, rather than relying on the Force and his own senses.

He pulls the cable under the door, checking its safety through a monitor, and then opening the door.

The vows that entered the hallway on the second floor of the basement moved slowly.

Some visits were open on either side of the corridor, and some were closed.

Usually, I thought my vows were against the enemy because all the doors that were supposed to be locked were ruined. This means that the enemy undermined the search.

To do a proper search, you'll need to open the door, search the room thoroughly, and then close it again. So you don't get confused. Seowon was sure that there was no interference here.

Enemies struggle to conceal their identities by pushing their torso all over their bodies. The vows, however, felt that there was a high probability that they did not come from a top-notch special forces.

Through the central passageway on the second floor of the basement, you see a lighted hallway.

I can't believe the lights are out.

All hallways must be lit 24 hours, except for the third floor where Bremer's bedroom is located. Extinguished corridors are not found in this building with serious facility management.

Seowon immediately found the light switch on the wall.

If the light does not illuminate when the switch is turned on, it is intentionally disconnected. It is likely to be a measure to prevent public access.

The vows flip the switch.

You hear a click, but the lights stay off.

He seeps into the darkness, gazing at a closed visit on either side of the hall. It means the enemy has not touched it.

He turns the handle of the nearest visit. The visit was locked in the usual lock as expected.

He moves to the room at the bottom of the corridor and picks out the lockpick in his backpack and starts opening the door. It took longer, but it was the only way to avoid being spotted by the enemy.

* * *

He goes into the third room, finishing a search, and suddenly stops trying to grab the handle.

It's because I saw flashlight flashing past me under the visit.

He rests by the door, calming his breath and gathering nerves in his ears.

You hear a rattling sound. The sound of a locked door knob spinning.

Seowon turned the MP-10 behind his back and took out the tripod and held it in his hand.

In this narrow interior, a pistol is a far more advantageous option for him than a machine gun and a tripod or dagger than a pistol.

Sitting crouched next to the door, he grabbed the tripod with his left hand and adjusted the cable with the lens in his right hand to look in the hallway.

A thin, silky cable runs through the door and sticks its head out into the hallway.

The first thing on the screen was a black boot covering the ankle.

As you move the cable, you see the black suit, AK-47, and the mask on the screen.

There were three of them.

All searches and reconnaissances must have a valid reason. Especially if they own the whole building.

Seowon tried to understand the situation with his back against the wall.

I think it's because of what happened on the third floor and Terry and the people he killed.

It was most likely a search party for two women and missing colleagues. Even if they were stupid, they wouldn't think a powerless woman killed her colleagues.

He thought about how to deal with them.

He was given two choices.

Hiding like this, waiting for the enemy to pass by, or opening the door and taking them out.

Leverage and aggression, passive and active.

Sometimes you have to hide your body. However, if an enemy enters this room with a key, he must face three AK-47s in a narrow room where there is no escape. It is possible to suppress the enemy, but the chance of a bullet being fired is very high.

I thought it was time for the vows to turn into violence.

Before meeting Bio Soldier, he thought it would be in his best interest to reduce any of his enemies.

He adjusts the cable with the sensor to observe the enemies.

When one person enters the room, the two people are searching the corridors on either side of the hall. To do this, we set up a search party of three. But they didn't keep the basics of the search.

Two men enter the room and the other one in the hallway stares blankly into the room, lowering his gun. The vows were clear. Those AK-47s must be secured.

The visit was open without a sound.

The shadow lowers toward the man standing still.

The shadow reaches out and grabs the man's back neck.

The force inside the body has messed with the man's autonomic nervous system.

As the man's body crumbles, the shadow takes him and lies on the ground silent.

The shadow that killed the enemy in the hallway seeps into the darkness in the room, silent.

Al Samad looks even stiffer after checking the progress of the bunker dismantling team.

When I heard a report that I needed 24 more hours, my mouth was all dried up.

‘24 hours... ’

Even if the Blackwater protects the perimeter of the Republic Palace, we won't be able to withstand the arrival of the Americans.

The Blackwater battalion guarding the outskirts of the Republic Palace is not there to defeat the Americans who wish to enter. They just got a false radio from a terrorist and got off on the wrong foot.

There will be tremendous controversy over what Blackwater has to do with terrorists, but we are well prepared. Even if it turns out there is a connection between Blackwater and terrorists, it's something Eric Prince can handle on his own.

So far, this deficiency has worked. But I couldn't guarantee that this operation would work for the next 24 hours.

Battle gears that can fly and move fast are natural enemies of tanks and armored vehicles. However, it will be difficult to wipe out the American army due to short maneuvers. They are the last of the safeguards.

The United States military is most likely not to attack while the sun is up.

But the special forces they boast about are likely to have arrived in Iraq by now. When it gets dark, they'll try to open the gates ahead of the Special Forces.

He ponders over his chin to figure out how to buy more time with the Special Forces.

Before arriving here, Al Samad studied thoroughly about elite special forces around the world.

The SAS in the U.K., GSG-9 in Germany, GIGN in France, as well as the U.S. Special Forces.

Research shows that Al Samad judges his team as not winning in a frontal match.

Their firearms were insufficient to deal with AK-47's, and their techniques were approachable by special forces from third-world countries through practice and practice. But it wasn't that there was no way.

When the hostage incident occurred, they acted as per protocol.

Deploying initial troops, gathering information, planning operations, approving operations, and performing tasks.

This defined procedure will greatly help to reduce mistakes. On the contrary, there are limitations to how we behave. It means that those who study as much as Al Samad can read and prepare for their actions.

Moreover, the U.S. Special Forces had one major problem compared to other countries, so the decision was slow.

International terrorist experts have pointed out that the American chain of command is too complex. In areas that require speed and efficiency, too many people voice too much, slowing the operation down.

This is what Al Samad dug up.

To maximize this advantage, you've taken hostages and dragged them into time without asking for anything.

By now, the Pentagon will be fighting aloud with each other to find out what really happened. But it won't be long. Sooner or later, they will try to push in one direction.

As the U.S. military approached, he planned to leave the hostages for the long run.

As always, they will pretend to negotiate in front of them and try to rescue the hostages using special forces behind them. But the hostages were of little importance.

Al Samad's reluctance is to accelerate the timing of the Special Forces entry.

To do this, he decided to take advantage of American public opinion and media.

American politicians and journalists are his allies. If you use the media to inform of the hostage situation and make politicians believe that there is a situation to overcome this crisis, commanders will not be able to issue a rash march order.

Al Samad has his subordinates photograph the hostages gathering in the auditorium downstairs.

When the camera flash exploded, the hostages were extremely anxious.

He instructed the American press to transfer the photos, then left the auditorium and walked down the hallway on the first floor of the basement.

He had no doubt that the timing of the entry of special forces would be slowed as soon as the photos were released. However, I did not feel uneasy at the corner of my heart.

Al Samad, who was thinking and walking, looked at the doors on either side of the hallway and realized what was wrong with him. With too many passageways and too large an underground facility, there were too many secrets.

He points to the two doors on his left and asks his servant.

“Where are these doors connected? ”

“One is a storeroom and the other is a basement door. ”

“Underground? The one we used as a passageway? ”

“No, it's connected to the boiler room on the third floor of the basement. ”

Al Samad recalled that the three basements of the building were completely separated into two spaces.

He thinks about something for a long time and opens his mouth.

“Do you know about the CIA operations in Amsterdam in the '70s? ”

The man tilts his head.

“Then the CIA infiltrated one of our operatives through the sewers and into the building. The agent who successfully infiltrated the building was wired. We got all the terrorist chatter. ”

The servant immediately notices what Al Samad is saying.

“I will instruct you to look everywhere for any suspicions! ”
