"We have to split up"
I spoke firmly, as my squad nodded in agreement.
I looked around a bit, analysing the layout of the building, before speaking.
"Ho-gu and Hayoon will take the left stairs, while Dae-seong and Kang Joon will take the other"
"What about you?"
Ho-gu asked, seeming a bit curious
"I would take the.... Does this work?"
I asked myself, as I looked around the elevator
It looked rough and unkept, but it still worked.
"I would take the elevator"
I said, already standing inside
Everyone nodded, and started moving according to plan.
~~~~~
I tapped the buttons and the elevator did it's job
So as to not stand idly, I began checking my weapons.
I checked if I brought enough magazines, checked for my backup handgun, checked if all my guns were loaded.
...PING!!
The elevator doors opened slowly, and it's sound seemed to have caught the attention of two terrorist, who were now walking vigilantly towards the elevator.
BANG!,BANG!!,BANG!!!
I shot quickly and hid back in the elevator.
One of them was dead, who wouldn't be?, after taking three bullets to the head.
His partner, suddenly gripped by fear, shot frantically
'any minute now!'
I thought in expectance
CLICK!, CLICK!!
The terrorist face went pale, surprised that he was out of bullets already.
BANG!,BANG!!
Another two to the head
THUD!
The sound of a lifeless body dropping to the floor, seemed to echo.
'I was able to count twenty nine terrorists outside, but I don't know if there's more'
"Ahh, what a drag"
I spoke with a sigh
"Seems too heavily guarded to me"
"Was our information wrong?, is this their base?"
"Hmm, seems to be the case"
I spoke to myself, having a full blown conversation with myself, as I checked each apartment room in this floor.
CLICK!
I opened the last door in this floor, walked inside, and started my search for terrorists.
I moved swiftly yet vigilantly through the rooms, then I found one, he was hiding behind the door , his feet had given away his location.
A small smirk crept up my face
As in a swift movement I pulled out my dagger and stabbed his feet.
"Aaahhhh!!!"
BANG!!!,BANG!!!
He screamed in pain at first, as his brain was probably distracted by the sudden wave of pain from his feet.
Then came silence...
It just noticed that it was dead.
I stepped out of the room, proud.
I was about to make my way back to the elevator, when I heard footsteps.
I repositioned myself quickly, and waited for them.
BANG!!!,BANG!!!
I shot the first person who came into view.
BANG!!!,BANG!!!
His second was taken care of before he could even react.
'Too slow'
I thought with a sense of pride.
Ho-Gu's pov
We handled the few terrorists we encountered in some of the rooms on the first floor, and proceeded to the next floor.
The second floor was a canvas of, blood, gun powder, and bullets holes, and of course dead bodies.
'it seems like jin-hun cleared this floor'
I thought to myself with admiration for his speed, as all these was done under six minutes.
"Oi Hayoon, it seems like the captain cleared this floor, there are eight rooms on this floor let's check them for hidden enemies"
I spoke casually to Hayoon.
...Crack on coms!
"Captain speaking, I have taken care of all hostiles in the second floor, your roles now, are to search the rooms for our target."
And with that the radio fell silent.
"You heard the man let's get searching"
i said with a bright face.
MC'S POV
With that done, I just need to focus on clearing enough enemies on each floor for them to have a peaceful search.
...Ping!!!
The elevator rings again.
As the elevator doors slowly opened, two enemies came to view, their rifles were pointed at the elevator, ready to shoot, and so did they.
They sprayed the elevator, before the doors were even open completely.
I hid by the side, my back against the elevator buttons.
I brought out my grenade, bit off the pin, and threw the grenade beneath them.
They noticed, but too late, one had tried to jump away, but it was futile.
The explosion caused the elevator to shake violently, and temperature to rise.
After a few seconds, maybe a minute, I rose slowly, my ears were ringing, my vision were blurry, as I stumbled on my feet.
I walked out of the elevator, slowly, and not because I wanted to.
Visibility was low, because of the dust.
The floor felt unstable, felt like it could crumble under my feet, any minute now.
"....!"
I could hear something
Not something, someone.
I could hear loud, ragged and uneven breaths, and it wasn't mine.
Someone else was here.
And to my luck, his breath had given away his location, even through this dust cloud.
I brought out my dagger, and silently made my way towards the noise.
'Good, I'm behind him'
With swift movements I pulled back his head and slit his throat.
Luckily for me, the elevator wasn't too busted to work.
Though I was still a bit hesitant to use it
"Damn, they really went to town on the elevator"
"Looks like it could fall any minute now"
Hesitantly I tapped the buttons
It's struggling sound fed my fears even more.
Moving to next floor, I checked my remaining bullets, not because I needed to, but because I needed assurance.
The annoying elevator sound came again.
And again, two terrorists were already waiting for me.
But unlike the previous ones, that shot at the elevator, mindlessly, these guys threw a grenade into the elevator as soon as they saw me.
'Fucking hell!'
I reacted before I could even think, and kicked it back at them.
They had already jumped away, to notice that the grenade was back in their side.
...BOOM!!!
The expected deafining explosion came, shaking the elevator, so violently, I thought it would fall.
A few seconds after the explosion the elevator's struggling noise, woke me, I had a splitting headache, I was seeing close to nothing, my ears felt wet, probably blood, and even my skin stung, from the heat.
Still struggling in pain, when i suddenly remembered the elevator, it wasn't going to last much longer.
With a sense of urgency, I ran out.
And just three seconds after I ran out, it fell.
'Damn!'
I stood there for a few seconds, before looking at the corpses in the destroyed hallway, as expected they were burnt beyond recognition.
...Haa!
"This is becoming more annoying!"
"And I have to use the stairs now!"
"Tck, what a drag"
I got up from the ground and slowly walked towards the right stairs.
While on the stairs I could hear the voices of the enemies speaking in Chinese unluckily for them I understand Chinese and they were curious to know if I was dead, "well am not even though you guys almost got me with the grenade and some shots am very much alive" I said in Chinese as I sprayed them with bullets. After I was done with them I checked for any close by enemies and there was none, I continued up the stairs arriving at the sixth floor.
Immediately I threw a smoke grenade into enemies midst and immediately shoot down three as the others shot back relentlessly, I took cover behind the wall of the entrance as I heard foot steps coming from down stairs, it was Dea-seong's team "captain you look terrible" Dea-seong said with worry in his voice and his face "well took some grenades and got hit that's all" I replied playfully.
Dea-seong threw a grenade at them as the enemies took cover Kang Joon pushed forward shooting at the enemies still alive and quickly ending them after that I gave the order for them to search the rooms on this floor while I go to the next one.
I just arrived on the seventh floor and it seems empty, I searched for any enemies but there was no one, well it's better for me this way, to the next floor than.
I arrived at eighth floor and the eighth floor is packed as fuck, I have to be careful in this floor .
I started with shooting the first guy with my handgun and shooting the other my k-7 and quickly taking cover.
we exchanged shots for a while as I took two more down, I got up and went forward and took cover behind a pillar.
After some shots I was able to take one more down as one of them threw a grenade at me quickly I shot it mid air affecting them.
Seeing as they were affected by the explosion I rushed forward and shot them down .....sigh..... I took the chance to reload my gun.
I have only one magazine left, suddenly I heard a door creak open, I got into position immediately seeing the enemy coming out I shot him down and entered into the room he came from as I saw the target .
