Chapter 966 - 418: Breakthrough
The cliff climb was no challenge for Lin Wu, known as Spiderman. Under the cover of night, Lin Wu climbed to the top without any difficulty, but he didn’t show himself immediately, instead waiting quietly. A lamp was situated in the middle of the top, and the sentry patrolled back and forth within a 30-meter radius. Before long, he signaled towards the dock guards with his hand and slipped out of the light, finding a dark spot to sit down, took off his helmet, and from under the lining, he pulled out a flask and took a big swig.
Before he could utter a sigh of relief, Lin Wu took him down from behind. Assassinating live targets was not his forte; thus, he imitated what he’d seen before, covering the soldier’s mouth with his left hand to prevent any biting, while forcefully stabbing the dagger into the soldier’s skull with his right hand. The strike was lethal, killing the soldier instantly. Lin Wu withdrew the dagger and dragged the body into a darker corner to start changing his clothes.
Lin Wu didn’t carry a backpack, and indeed there was nothing much in it.
The sound of the crashing waves masked his wrongdoing. Two minutes later, Lin Wu put on the soldier’s clothing, helmet, and assault rifle and started patrolling. The dock’s sentry glanced at Lin Wu patrolling again, gave a hand signal, and Lin Wu responded with a salute, allowing the sentry to slack off. According to what the man had said, the sentry was rotated every three hours.
About 20 minutes later, someone ascended to the top using the cliff ladder, casually saluting each other. Lin Wu kept the brim of his cap low and stood on the edge of the light, with the other person not realizing that Lin Wu was an imposter. Due to the distance of over ten meters, coupled with the noise of the waves, there was no conversation between them. Lin Wu descended the nearest cliff ladder.
Inside the base, there were plenty of illuminated pathways, but there were also many dark corners. Corners were lit depending on the department, such as the fuel depot, which had lighting at the entrance, surveillance, and several soldiers responsible for fuel replenishment.
Following the other soldiers changing shift, Lin Wu walked down the central path, illuminated by streetlights and headed towards the main building of the base. When the person in front of him turned left towards the base building located on the upper right side of the rectangle, Lin Wu proceeded to the prison located at the right side of the rectangle.
The prison had two floors; the first floor was a canteen with a few refugees working there, employed full-time with room and board to take care of the three meals, security, and sanitation of the prison floor. It was now eleven at night, and they had gone to the dormitory next door to rest.
