Since the cave was a highly defensive location to be attacked, the mercenaries were ratherid back. There was also plenty of


    food and wine inside the cave. Besides, they were paid very handsomely to guard this easy spot, so this had caused them to


    lower their guards.


    Naturally, there was a disadvantage with employing mercenaries as they all had their own self-interests at heart, producing a


    groupcking team spirit. As soon as something went wrong, the situation would get out of hand in no time.


    Richard nced at a drunk soldiering his way who then greeted him. He greeted back in the same hoarse voice before the


    soldier gave him some alcohol,ining that the new batch of alcohol was awful.


    Thanking him with a smile, Richard continued walking. His aim was not to get alcohol but rather to find the electrical sources.


    Finally, he stopped at a crossroads and stared at a door located there for a while before he walked over and knocked on it.


    Someone opened the door before Richard said to him, “Fresh booze for delivery.”N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    The man inside immediately went on alert mode. He was in charge of the personnels stationed here and was responsible for all


    the surveince equipment here. He was sure that he had never seen a guy with such facial features working here before.


    In just the split second that their gazes met, Richard made the first move by hitting the man on the head. Before the person could


    even react, he had entered the generator room and locked himself in from the inside.


    “Who are you?” The man bellowed while reaching for his gun, but Richard was faster than him. In order to stop the man from


    pulling the trigger, Richard sent a few punches his way. Since the man was already weakened by the initial attack, the


    consecutives punches made him all dizzy. as the final attack was aimed at his carotid artery by the bottle that Richard broke.


    After the fight, Richard went to the generator and opened the screen door. Looking at the nest of wires inside, he slowly opened


    the kettle that he had and poured some water on them, causing electric sparks to ur everywhere. Then, the room descended


    into darkness.


    Unlocking the door, Richard was greeted by pitch ck darkness outside the room, as curses and sounds of people smashing


    things on the floor came from the hallway. Obviously, the soldiers were very upset about the sudden power outage.


    Richard smiled as he fired a few shots into the main hall.


    Screams of pain echoed around, all the soldiers in the dark took out their guns. In the darkness, the only sound that could be


    heard was the sound of the gunshot and the only thing that could be seen was all the gun sparks that ured each time


    someone pulled the trigger. The cave had be a ughterhouse as everybody inside had lost all sense of direction and logic


    to the darkness.


    The gun sparks kept appearing in the cave and all the screams of pain went on and on in the darkness. However, as time went


    by, there were lesser curses, questions and screamings of the soldiers could be heard. A sickeningly metallic scent of blood


    slowly wafted through the air which was so unpleasant that it could. make those who inhaled it puke.


    Hiding behind a rock, Richard was silently observing the situation with a sharp and calm gaze.


    Soon, the remaining soldiers came to the realization that the people around them were actually their allies and immediately


    stopped the fire. Yet, there were only around ten to twenty of them that were still alive.


    So, they decided to regroup in the middle and form a circle, not knowing until now where the enemy was.


    Agunshot then shattered their unity again. Following the gunshot was the person, who tried tomand the entire team earlier,


    falling down. Instantly, a sea of bullets flew everywhere again.
