Chapter 84: No Church In The Wild
03:08. Orange Zone, Northern Sector. Sinsok District.
Temperature: 12 °C. Humidity: 88%. Lighting level: minimal.
The rain fell blind and steady, like the rustle of fabric. A thick cloud hung over Sinsok, and the grayness blanketed every square meter of the streets. The dry shadows of streetlights scattered across the alleys gave the eerie feeling that someone was watching from behind glass—yet no sound came. As if the world had entered mute mode.
Sector D-7. Preemptive enemy interception mission. Arrival time: 03:09. Squad Commander: Park Tae-seok. Tactical unit: D.I.O.S. — Demon Infiltration and Operational Suppression.
"Move. Take the target. Full silent protocol. Orders are clear: the head of the family stays alive. Everything else—at your discretion."
Six operatives moved as one, each step measured with surgical precision. Their boots whispered against the wet asphalt, leaving shallow prints in puddles. Through green night vision lenses, the house looked like a black wound in the landscape.
Rifles in hand—custom-made for demon combat. Larger caliber. Sharper tips.
Commander Park Tae-seok gave a hand signal. Circular gesture—hold position. Sharp sweep—breach the door. Four fingers up—masks on. One nod—advance.
"Breach ready. Masks on. Night vision—engage."
A button press—the world burst into toxic green. Moist vapor rose from the ground, masking the bottom steps.
Around the back, a soldier shattered the main power box. The house plunged into murky darkness.
