Chapter 46 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Chapter 046: Rotting Flesh and Blood For those who have patience, time always seems to pass swiftly. Especially for Nan Yin, the sniper. When she once again raises her scope to observe the factory, Tianzhou City has already submerged into the night. "Fuhu, be mindful as you infiltrate." After issuing a light instruction to him through the team's internal terminal, Nan Yin lifted her head to scan her surroundings—it was too dark. This area was originally a deserted industrial area with most of its basic infrastructure damaged. Street lights were not functioning, and even the intact ones were not switched on. The city government saw no need to waste resources maintaining these infrastructures, given that there wasn't a single person in the area. But this didn't pose a problem for Nan Yin. She lowered her head again and switched her sniper rifle to night vision mode. Instantly, her view became as clear as day, and every living creature within the sniper scope's field of view was revealed before her eyes. This time, in dealing with the traffickers, Nan Yin and Fuhu Zhengsi decided after discussion to adopt the strategy of stealth infiltration followed by taking down each target one by one. After all, given that they were fortunate to have Fuhu Zhengsi, a professional assassin, and Nan Yin, who could use the seized sniper rifle for sighting and firepower support, this scheme was the best choice for their fledgling duo. "Fuhu, there's a man half-crouching on your nine o'clock, holding a smart rifle." Nan Yin reports to Fuhu Zhengsi the locations of each enemy through her sniper scope's bio-scan. A few seconds later, this man who was either dozing off or keeping a vigil, was silently eliminated by Fuhu Zhengsi. "Continue along the staircase. Upstairs, there are three guys playing cards, but they are all out of sight from the staircase... Wait," Nan Yin suddenly cautions, "Two of them just got up and are moving towards the staircase. They aren't carrying any weapons, I'm guessing they're pairing up to go to the restroom." Upon hearing Nan Yin's advice, Fuhu Zhengsi quickly analysed multiple assassination methods in his mind. A minute later, these two unfortunate souls were assassinated by Fuhu Zhengsi, just as they began to disrobe. "Alright, now there's just one guy still playing cards. Be careful when infiltrating, there are other enemies on the third floor." ………… No doubt, Fuhu Zhengsi, the assassin meticulously cultivated by that organization using various means, had the most profound skill sets among all the assassins Nan Yin had encountered thus far. Fuhu Zhengsi was not only capable of silently taking down ordinary armed humans but also making the process pleasing to the eye—a terrifying feat. In her past life, Nan Yin also safeguarded national core figures, she had seen at least a thousand assassins and special agents from various countries, but none could match the prowess of Fuhu Zhengsi. If Nan Yin had faced him as an opponent in her past life, the only feasible strategy would probably be deploying a heavily fortified team to protect the target ceaselessly. As for a one-on-one match between Nan Yin and Fuhu Zhengsi? It would make no difference from a sniper being caught by warriors and assassins. Even if she deployed her meticulously trained tactical team from her past life, their fate would be synonymous with chopping up vegetables. "Miss, all standing enemies in this building have been eliminated. Do you have any further instructions?" The voice of Fuhu Zhengsi came through the internal terminal, describing the one-sided massacre almost casually. It made Nan Yin unable to help but flutter at his statement. She mentally congratulated herself once more for deciding to employ Fuhu Zhengsi. Taking a moment to compose herself, Nan Yin returned her attention to her sniper scope. While the traffickers tonight were well-equipped rogues, they seemed weak compared to the Basilisk mercenaries of the other night. It could be discerned from the fact that Nan Yin's sniper rifle did not need to fire a single shot, Fuhu Zhengsi alone had taken down more than thirty rogues. "Dismantle all the network modules from their smart firearms. Regular firearms need not be handled." Nan Yin gave the command to confiscate the weapons, albeit differently from the previous night. This time, she only wanted the smart firearms, particularly the valuable networking modules. The selling point of smart firearms is their networking capability and bullet trajectory modification. Without networking, they are useless. The number of weapons Nan Yin had confiscated that night had already reached dozens. Even after rescuing this batch of Basilisk slaves—one for each person—there were more than enough. Therefore, getting more guns was unnecessary; what Nan Yin lacked now was ammunition. However, the issue of ammunition could be dealt with later; the main problem was locating the batch of slaves. Nan Yin once again switched on the positioning module of her smart sniper rifle. This was a tracker placed on a slave by Fuhu Zhengsi when they found the group of people. Although the tracker was self-made by Fuhu Zhengsi, it could at least connect to the network and display the slave's position on the smart firearm in Nan Yin's hand. At this moment, the screen showed that the slave was not on the surface, indicating that there was a complex beneath the factory building, at least a basement. Nan Yin had downloaded a 3D blueprint of the deserted factory from the internet, the platform was provided by a black market browser from Fuhu Zhengsi. But it seemed now that the other side might not be that honest. Shaking her head, the maiden with the snow-coloured hair decided not to dwell on this. After all, buying anything from the black market inherently carried double the risk. "Fuhu, look for any route leading underground in there and report to me immediately." At this juncture, time was of the essence as Nan Yin promptly issued orders to Fuhu Zhengsi. Upon receiving the command, Fuhu Zhengsi began to search for potential hidden passages and mechanisms within the building. His search bore fruit when he discovered a concealed map on the rogue who was playing cards earlier. Given this map, Fuhu Zhengsi quickly found a hidden underground passage in an abandoned workshop within the factory. This passage was opened with a person's iris, giving it a sci-fi feel that somehow felt out of place given the dilapidated external atmosphere. Faced with this iris-activated entrance, Fuhu Zhengsi was at a loss. Originally, Fuhu Zhengsi intended to break the door by force, yet up until the time Nan Yin arrived, he hadn't figured out how to do it. The door looked impeccable, to the point that even Fuhu Zhengsi couldn't figure out where it opened from or how to approach it by force. "Miss, this…. " Fuhu Zhengsi wore an awkward expression. If Fuhu Zhengsi was to assassinate someone, he could put forth hundreds of unique schemes, but he is utterly at a loss when faced with high tech equipment. After all, don’t you think Fuhu Zhengsi would love to use smart firearms? The only problem is that he wouldn't be able to connect the weapon to the network terminal. "Let me see… an iris unlock, huh?" Nan Yin frowned in consideration of the door. She had seen iris-unlock doors before—several significant areas in many countries in her past life had similar security measures. It’s just that the one before her now seemed even more high tech. After some thought, Nan Yin had an epiphany—the slaves were undoubtedly right behind this door, and since it required iris unlock, among these traffickers, there must be at least one person whose iris could open the door. But with more than thirty rogues, which one's iris would open the door? Taking a gamble, Nan Yin moved to the corpse of the man whose map Fuhu Zhengsi found, crouched down, drew her dagger, and after mildly narrowing her eyes, she plunged the dagger into the corpse’s eyes, effectively gouging them out. One minute later. As Nan Yin flicked off the rotting flesh and blood on her hand, the white door in front of them rumbled and turned into a white powdery light before disappearing. The door was open. Having witnessed this, Fuhu Zhengsi also revealed a look of comprehension—turns out it was a nano door?
