Chapter 1019
There was an old military adage that said if you lacked weapons and artillery, the enemy would unwittingly provide them.
Coincidentally, hadn’t the informant just mentioned that those people planted explosives at the gate?
Now, they could perfectly use those same explosives to blow away the electric fences.
*Boom! Boom! Boom p>
As the fuses landed, deafening explosions instantly erupted. A towering inferno shot into the sky, illuminating the surrounding area as brightly as daylight.
Hiding behind the hill, Mira and the team felt the ground tremble violently beneath their feet.
After the flames subsided, the gate was blown wide open, and all three layers of the electric fence had been obliterated. The power grid connected to the fences was also completely destroyed by the blast.
“Why is the inside of the hospital still brightly lit p>
Jax Weaver asked.
There had just been a massive explosion, after all.
“It just means the fences and the hospital operate on different electrical grids p>
Owen replied.
“The infrastructure here isn’t interconnected like it is back home in Mavaria. They rely heavily on private generators.
Zones can be isolated without affecting each other p>
“Let’s go. Into the hospital p>
Once the scorched earth had cooled slightly, it was time for Mira and the team to uncover the sins hidden within this facility.
Following such a massive blast, the high-altitude guard posts were temporarily abandoned, and the external electric grid was completely fried. The explosives buried in the inner courtyard had also been fully detonated.
“I wonder what idiot suggested burying explosives at the main gate p>
Callum Young laughed.
“They wanted to detonate them as we walked past to blow us to pieces. If our informant hadn’t tipped us off, we might have actually fallen for it p>
Mira pointed out.
“But the interior of the hospital is still intact, so we need to be incredibly careful p>
York warned.
After what happened earlier, he was far more cautious now.
“Let’s move. We’re going in p>
York looked to Master Ellis.
Originally, as the commanding lieutenant, he should have been leading this operation.
But after hitting a wall of reality, Master Ellis, the seasoned veteran of the underworld, had become the group’s de facto tactical center.
York and his men, along with Mira and Owen, had all naturally shifted into advisory roles for him.
Master Ellis nodded. “Vanguard, take
the life
etectors and move quiete
Stay cover they definitely still have armed guards in there.
Also, there might be explosives rigged inside the hospital. Stay alert p>
The enemy’s armed forces were undoubtedly hiding somewhere, just like Mira’s team had been.
The life detectors they brought weren’t just for locating victims; more importantly, they were meant to pinpoint the enemy’s positions allowing them to protect the own operatives.
Knowing where people were concentrated allowed them to anticipate danger and prepare their defenses.
“But if they use bombs inside, won’t they destroy their own hospital too p>
The hospital belonged to them, after all.
York was genuinely confused.
“The madness of these syndicates far exceeds our imagination. If they can’t hold the hospital, they would rather use it as our tomb p>
Owen said.
The vanguard soldiers advanced first, with Mira and the rest following closely behind.
“Once inside, we’ll draw their fire. The EOD specialists need to locate the explosives as fast as possible p>
York instructed.
Unfortunately, due to limited personnel on this mission, there were only six bomb disposal experts assigned to Mira’s group.
When Mira and the team crossed
the ruined electric fence and entered
the inner courtyard, the heavily
armed guards, who had been hiding in the shadows, rushed out to flank them..
There were over a hundred of them roughly three times the size of Mira’s squad.
