Chapter 21: Striking First

The night air was crisp as Adam and Evelyn approached one of the main warehouses in Iron Claw. It wasn't a logistics center like Section 12 - it was a staging area, a nerve center for their operations in the region. Eliminating them would disrupt response times and disrupt their lines.

Evelyn adjusted the straps of her gear, her expression hardened. "It's more daring than anything we've ever done. Are you sure about this?"

Adam leaned back behind the stack The boxes scanned the warehouse through the system coverage. "We need to hit where it hurts. Plus, after what they did to our suppliers, it's not just strategy, it's also cost."

He didn't argue, but his silence said a lot. Adam looked at him, a slight hint of suspicion in his eyes.

He said softly: Hello. "I'm working. Trust me."

Evelyn sighed, her shoulders relaxed. "I'm working. I don't trust them."

Adam laughed and pulled He pulled a set of magical runes from his bag. "Good. Because the worst night of their lives is about to happen."

The 4,444 warehouses were heavily guarded, but Adams' system painted a clear picture of the patrol routes and their blind spots. Moving quickly, he placed the first rune next to the communications center—a squat, windowless building filled with antennae.

The second rune went under a truck full of boxes. The third was connected to an electrical connection that hummed with energy.

Evelyn watched as he worked with a mixture of gratitude and fear. "Now that these are over, what's the plan?"

"Chaos," Adam replied simply. "They'll be too busy putting out the fire to worry about us."

"And if they find out we're behind this?"

"That's not good," Adam said, tapping his system interface. "They'll get together, and we'll be gone long."

The first explosion shattered the night, a deafening roar that startled the guards. He was consumed by the fire The delivery truck rose with thick smoke into the sky.

A second explosion occurred moments later, plunging the warehouse into darkness as the power went out. Panic spread like wildfire as the guards shouted orders and scattered in confusion.

Evelyn looked up from their vantage point, a mixture of fear and disbelief on her face. "I think you've outdone yourself."

Adam laughed, his eyes shining with joy. "There is no such thing."

While they were gone, Adams The system was ringing.

< The repository is compromised. The efficiency of the operation has decreased by 58%. Recommendation: For the benefit, combine the effects. >

Evelyn watched him as they disappeared into the shadows. "You're making a name for yourself, you know."

Adam laughed. "Yeah, let them remember. "

The house is safe, Joe is the reward. Vince is waiting for them, his smile replaced by a grim face.

"So you're done." They enter. "The news is spreading fast. Iron Claw is pulling all the stops to find you. "

"Let them see," Adam said, falling into a chair. We have the speed. They're behind."

Vince shook his head. "That's what worries me. Desperate people do stupid things."

Evelyn leaned against the wall and crossed her arms. "He's right. If they think they're losing control, they'll escalate. You have to be prepared for that. "

Adam interface system turned on With new message

Adam leaned back, his mind racing. The warehouse attack was successful, but the fall had just begun. The iron claw would not let this slip.

"Then we will touch them," Adam said in a low but strong voice. "We won't survive, we'll destroy."

Evelyn exchanged glances with Vince, a shadow of sadness between them. But neither of them argued with each other.

The game wasn't over yet, and Adam wasn't backing down. not now No, not at all.
