Capítulo 9: Chapter 09 Chaotic Situation
Arthur's destination was the ordnance depot!
Seeing this label on the deployment map made Arthur's heart race with excitement.
However, his experience from movies warned him that such places would be heavily guarded, and gaining entry wouldn't be easy.
But now, the military uniform he wore opened up new possibilities!
His idea was quite straightforward. Since he was searching for the legendary target, who could guarantee that the person wasn't commanding everything from within the ordnance depot? So, there was no harm in searching for someone there!
Moreover, he could find plenty of enemy weapons along the way.
Instead of leaving these weapons for the enemy to use, why not disassemble them and strengthen his own abilities?
With this in mind, Arthur walked with great confidence.
However, at this moment, an urgent alarm suddenly echoed through the entire enemy camp!
Arthur swiftly crouched, slipping into the shadow of a corner, peeking out with a puzzled expression, "What's happening?"
The alarm was urgent, shaking the previously calm military camp into chaos and it was as if something grave had occurred, comparable to the death of the Hitler's Brigade's leader.
Baffled, Arthur watched a group of soldiers hurriedly pass by him. Without hesitation, he grabbed the last soldier passing by.
Clad in his military attire, Arthur, with a serious expression, asked, "What's happening?"
"The Brigade Commander is dead!"
Seeing Arthur's military uniform, the soldier, without paying attention to anything else, saluted and blurted out, "Commander, you were just assassinated!"
The voice was quite loud, but after saying it, both of them were stunned.
Their minds were evidently in disarray, struggling to process the overwhelming information.
Ultimately, Arthur's reaction was quicker. Recognizing the odd look in the soldier's eyes, he stepped forward and delivered a punch to his neck.
With his enhanced physical strength, the punch prevented the soldier from uttering any words. All he intended to say got stuck in his throat, and he staggered back two steps in pain.
The soldier, quick on the draw, didn't opt for a more powerful rifle. In close-quarters combat, there wasn't time to aim a barrel.
Instead, he pulled out a short knife from his leg and thrust it towards Arthur!
Arthur quickly dodged the incoming blade, simultaneously reaching out to grab the soldier's wrist. With a swift kick aimed at the groin, he showed no mercy.
Regardless of the cruelty, in a life-and-death struggle, it wasn't a stage duel; it was about being as ruthless as needed!
The soldier reacted exceptionally fast. As Arthur sidestepped, he promptly clamped his legs together, deftly shifting the knife to his other hand. Raising the blade, he viciously stabbed Arthur's forehead!
This set of movements was like flowing water, extremely skillful.
But before the knife could reach its target, a twisted and pained expression appeared on the soldier's face!
He failed to catch Arthur's kick…
Judgment error. Judging by the strength of an ordinary person, his legs should have been strong enough to withstand Arthur's low blow.
However, Arthur's strength was no longer something an ordinary soldier could measure. The powerful kick sent the soldier's legs apart…
A cracking sound, a noise that could make one clench their buttocks, echoed in the area.
The short knife, already halfway in, was weakly released.
For a man, Arthur's kick was enough to render him completely combat ineffective.
In agony, the soldier's body contorted like a curled shrimp. In the next moment, Arthur's arm wrapped around his neck, and with a swift maneuver… a cracking sound!
"I killed another one!"
Dragging the corpse into the darkness, Arthur couldn't help but feel speechless.
This infiltration was seamless indeed!
Outside, the chaos persisted, and Arthur squatted in the darkness, wrestling with his thoughts.
Firstly, he couldn't comprehend why the enemy commander wasn't in a combat command room bustling with telegraph machines and communication personnel, but rather in a shabby tent with nothing special.
His theory for searching the entire camp was based on this! Yet, the opponent chose an unconventional path. Now, the guy died inexplicably, killed by Arthur in an equally inexplicable manner.
Secondly, what to do now?
Although it was bizarre, the mission seemed to be completed. Should he leave?
The word 'mission' triggered excitement in Arthur's heart, but he quickly shook his head.
Experience from novels and movies taught Arthur the most crucial lesson: you can catch fish in muddy waters.
The entire camp was now in chaos. In the plot of a movie, the next-level officers would temporarily fail to control the situation. However, with military ranks, it was only a matter of time before they regained control.
The current turmoil, while an opportunity, would eventually lead to a pursuit of the killer once they regrouped.
By then, even if he, the 'killer,' didn't die, he would be chased back to the US military camp.
To leave here in style, he had to make the chaos in this camp even more chaotic.
The current chaos… wasn't enough!
Recalling the deployment map, Arthur knew they were not far from the ordnance depot.
This was the opportunity!
Arthur gritted his teeth again, sticking to the motto, "Like a bird soaring to the sky, undying for eternity!"
He decided to go all out!
Without further delay, the current attire was too conspicuous. He stripped down, tossed the clothes into the Disassembler space, and waited for the disassembling later. Now, he wore the clothes of the soldier he had just killed.
He also disarmed the short knife and gun, throwing them into the Disassembler space.
Then, he pretended to be flustered and hastily ran towards the ordnance depot.
Perhaps most soldiers were on the frontline, leaving the enemy's rear defense vulnerable. When Arthur arrived at the ordnance depot, to his great surprise, he only saw two soldiers guarding the place.
Taking a deep breath and adjusting his mindset, Arthur hurriedly ran over, excitedly speaking a language that even he didn't know what it was.
All of these were completely made up by Arthur and didn't belong to any language in the contemporary world.
The two soldiers across from him looked dazed, not understanding what Arthur was saying. Seizing the opportunity, Arthur approached one of the soldiers. By the time the soldier attempted to stop him, it was too late.
The battle unfolded in two steps. First, a punch directly hit the unsuspecting throat. The second step involved grabbing the soldier's head, pressing downward, followed by a knee strike, brutally impacting the soldier's face.
Blood splattered!
The soldier lay down without a sound, while the other was about to raise his rifle to shoot.
In that fleeting moment, Arthur found himself holding a P38 pistol. At close range, a pistol was more effective than a rifle. Without aiming much, he raised the gun and fired!
Bang!
A shot to the head!

Capítulo 10: Chapter 10 A Bold Idea
Casually retrieving the pistol, Arthur didn't bother checking whether the two soldiers had died.
Time didn't allow for it. Once the gunshot echoed, the entire military camp would erupt. If he got trapped here, it would truly be a matter of life and death! So, Arthur didn't pause for a moment and rushed straight into the ordnance depot.
A variety of weapons filled Arthur's vision in an instant.
"It's like stepping into heaven!"
Unfortunately, the angels of hell would soon arrive at the gates of heaven. If he didn't act quickly, he might find himself having tea with Satan! "Collect, collect, collect!"
As he rushed in, weapons on both sides disappeared swiftly at his 'collect' command. With the item collection function of the Disassembler, it could already be considered a Divine Weapon.
When Arthur tossed a Mauser 98K with scope into the Disassembler space, his extraordinary hearing detected disorganized footsteps.
"They're coming!"
Arthur's heart tightened. He turned to run but stopped at the moment his foot lifted. If he ran now, he might escape, but it would undoubtedly attract attention.
It could be considered… the worst option!
At this moment, a bold idea suddenly sprouted in Arthur's mind. This idea originated from a TV series he had watched a long time ago.
It was a murder mystery with an interesting method. Instead of leaving the room after committing the crime, the killer hid near the door, made a fake scream to attract attention, and then seamlessly merged with the crowd when everyone rushed in.
The method was simple yet extremely risky! Arthur took a deep breath. "Stay calm. These guys probably haven't watched 'Death Reaper Elementary School' and definitely won't expect me to use such a trick!"
After the experiences of the day, Arthur's courage had grown considerably. Thinking about it, he decided to go for it!
He swiftly reached the main gate, adjusting his breathing. After waiting silently for less than thirty seconds, the gate suddenly swung open, and a group of people rushed in.
Arthur smoothly blended into their ranks, surprising even himself. Quickly lowering his head, he silently observed.
These people were clearly in a state of panic, not having yet recovered from the tense atmosphere after the commander was killed.
The group entered in a disorderly manner, frantically searching the area. The death of their commander had turned them into startled birds, and the theft from the ordnance depot had left them bewildered.
"Indeed, this is the best opportunity!"
A hint of a smile appeared on Arthur's lips. Just as he was about to slip away, he heard someone say, "You guys stay here and continue the search. You few, follow me!"
Damn it, Arthur was part of the 'follow him' group.
Seeing a few others already following, Arthur had no choice but to join them.
Exiting the ordnance depot, the leader didn't mindlessly chase. Instead, he stood at the entrance, observing the dead bodies.
Arthur's heart tensed. Anyone able to remain calm and observe at this moment was undoubtedly not easy to deal with!
Why? That's what movies and novels always said!
"What if this guy really has the spirit of the Death Reaper Elementary School and figures out I haven't left from these two corpses… What then?"
As this thought arose, a hint of murderous intent spread in Arthur's eyes.
However, at this moment, a towering flame suddenly rose from the southeast corner of the camp!
The leading officer didn't bother observing the corpses and shouted, "Follow me!"
Simultaneously pointing at Arthur, he commanded, "Convey my orders: lock down the camp, no one leaves!"
Without a second thought, Arthur wiped his head and walked away. Asking others to convey the message was one thing, but having him do it? That was just pushing his luck.
After breaking away from the group, Arthur sprinted toward the northwest. The entire camp was in chaos, and no one found it odd that he was running like that.
However, the officer who had ordered Arthur to convey the message had a puzzled look. He felt that something was amiss, but with so much happening that night – the commander mysteriously killed in his tent, the ordnance depot looted, and the camp set on fire – his mind was overwhelmed, and he couldn't comprehend the possibilities.
…
…
Infiltrating the enemy camp, Arthur hadn't reached the rendezvous point when gunshots erupted from the southeast.
He frowned slightly. "What's going on? Did they turn on each other because the commander was killed?"
This thought was undoubtedly absurd, but standing there, pondering, he couldn't figure out the reason.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw someone sprinting towards him. On closer inspection, it was none other than Agent Carter!
"You're here! Great!"
Agent Carter seemed ecstatic upon seeing Arthur, making his mood inexplicably lifted. He asked in surprise, "Why are you so excited?"
"You did a fantastic job!"
Agent Carter praised him excitedly. "How did you kill their commander?"
"How do you know it was me?" Arthur was astonished. He had no idea whom he had killed at the time.
"We came as a group of four. If it wasn't the three of us… who else could it be? Well, that's not important. What matters is that we need to leave immediately!" Agent Carter said.
"What about the sergeant and the soldier?"
"They are causing chaos in the camp and will meet up with us soon."
Agent Carter pulled Arthur toward the direction of 'our people's' tents.
"Are they responsible for all these gunshots? Are they going on a rampage?"
"No," Agent Carter replied as they ran. "Our people have arrived!"
"'Our people'?" Arthur hesitated for a moment. "Doesn't he only provide enemy uniforms?"
Agent Carter nearly gasped for breath at the question, glaring at Arthur. "They are our ambush troops!"
"We have ambush troops in the plan?" Arthur was surprised. "Wasn't it just the four of us for the assassination mission?"
"Of course not!"
Agent Carter, seeing Arthur's persistent questioning, sighed and said simply, "They've been ambushing around. However, they couldn't attack until there was an opportunity. So, we took advantage of the chaos and infiltrated for the assassination mission. Even if the assassination failed and caused chaos in the enemy camp, it would create an opportunity for our people!"
Stopping in his tracks, Agent Carter looked at Arthur, took a couple of breaths, and said, "We are the second part of the plan. They… actually arrived here at the very moment the enemy ambushed us!"
