Chapter 354

The squad, shielded by the night, skillfully bypassed wave after wave of patrols. Whenever the sound of footsteps drew near, they would quickly duck behind nearby cover, holding their breath until the patrol passed, only then continuing their advance. At one point, a patrolman’s flashlight beam nearly swept across He Chenguang’s face. His heart tightened, but he forced himself to remain motionless and composed until the guards had moved on, finally exhaling a soft breath of relief. Eventually, they reached the warehouse perimeter wall. He Chenguang scanned the surroundings to ensure there was no danger before signaling his team. The members moved swiftly: some crouched down to let their comrades step on their shoulders to scale the wall, while others kept watch to prevent any sudden developments. Agile and nimble, He Chenguang easily climbed to the top and reached down to pull the others up. Inside the warehouse, an air of staleness hit them. The space was packed with various goods, casting eerie, distorted shadows under the dim lighting. He Chenguang led the team as they wove cautiously through the cargo, searching for their target. The warehouse was cluttered with debris, and the dim light cast mottled shadows between the layers of goods, adding a sense of mystery and oppression.
