Wasting no time, they immediately set off for the area closest to the Viper Gang headquarters, where several members of Takagi's team were waiting.
Because they had a large number of personnel, they wanted to avoid exposing their planned attack.
They chose to attack at night, when visibility would be significantly reduced and alertness would naturally be lowered.
However, carrying out their plan at night wasn't without its challenges.
Fortunately, Akira had prepared well, equipping himself and several core members of the Takagi family team.
They had special military-grade night vision goggles, also equipped with thermal imaging.
This allowed them to see the positions of the Viper Gang members on guard.
"Is everyone in their positions?" Mr. Takagi's solemn voice came over the intercom connected to the entire team.
"Team 1 is ready.
"Team 2 is ready.
"Team 3 is ready.
"Team 4 is ready.
Soon, reports from the four teams already in position were heard.
Teams 1 and 2 were tasked with executing the attack. Team 1 would attack from the front of the base, and Team 2 would attack from the rear.
Team 3, on the other hand, acted as support when Teams 1 and 2 encountered obstacles they couldn't solve.
The fourth team, tasked with assassination, was tasked with assassinating high-ranking members of the Viper Gang.
They consisted of three people: Akira, Saeko, and Saya.
"Team 4, please release a mist to envelop the entire enemy base," Mr. Takagi instructed.
"Okay," Akira replied quickly and soon, relying on the smoke bomb he had brought, he began mixing it with the dark mist he had.
Slowly but surely, the dark smoke began to spread rapidly throughout the Viper Gang headquarters.
The Viper Gang still awake, were oblivious to the changes around them.
Perhaps it was the darkness of the night, or perhaps the tense atmosphere they had become accustomed to for some time.
So, the Viper Gang members on guard duty didn't pay much attention to the smoke, and it suddenly began to envelop the area around their headquarters.
This could be due to a lack of discipline among the Viper Gang members, as the gang lacks discipline and strict rules.
This led to members simply slacking off while on guard.
Of course, this also stems from the fact that there was nothing around their headquarters that could threaten their existence.
If there were any threats that might threaten their headquarters, they had essentially eliminated them.
So, in this case, no one took their guard duty too seriously.
However, as the fog began to completely envelop the entire base, several Viper Gang members on night watch became restless.
"What's with this fog that suddenly appeared?" a Viper Gang member asked his friend beside him.
Those on duty at the main entrance of the base were currently huddled in a guard room that could accommodate at least four people.
They appeared to be busy playing cards while on guard.
"Hey... Don't even try to escape. I know you just won the bet.
Don't use excuses to run away and avoid it," a member beside him said, somewhat annoyed, to his friend.
"That's right, don't even think about running away when you've already won," another person chimed in.
"No, I'm really not lying. Look around us, isn't this fog quite thick?" the person replied to his friends.
"Wait, it seems he's right. Let me report to the captain first." Another member, who seemed more serious about guarding, realized this and proposed a precautionary measure.
"Damn it... quickly report the situation, but don't expect you to escape," the member, as if compromising, then allowed his friend to report the situation.
"Okay, wait a moment," his friend replied.
Just as the person was about to report the situation to their superiors, a small, uninviting popping sound was heard.
"Blup..." The member's forehead was bleeding, and his eyes bulged, as if he couldn't believe what had happened to him.
Just as he was about to speak, his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
Seeing this, the other three members were shocked and in disbelief, just as they were about to scream in fear.
A heartbreaking pain emanated from their foreheads and hearts, and soon the three of them caught up with their previous comrades.
"Post 1 clear," a member of Team 1 reported, having successfully completed the initial challenge at the headquarters entrance.
All was quiet and no commotion was made, as if it were simply an inconspicuous act.
But to those paying attention, the tension was palpable in the command center, currently led by Mr. Takagi.
Fortunately, the members of Teams 1 and 2 were experienced veterans with excellent firearms skills from the Takagi family.
So, while they didn't possess the same skills as special forces members, they were fundamentally superior to regular police officers.
With adequate equipment and a favorable environment, the raid was a success.
And now, the command center turned its attention to the second team, which was currently attempting a similar operation in the rear area of the Viper Gang headquarters.
Their target was a watchtower currently occupied by two Viper gang members tasked with monitoring the surrounding area.
At the rear of the base, the Viper gang built a 5-meter-tall watchtower there to monitor both the outside and inside areas.
This was based on the fact that several civilians who had previously been caught escaping were mostly caught trying to escape over the rear wall of the base.
It was only a little over 2 meters high, so to prevent any unwanted incidents, the watchtower was built.
It was manned by at least two Viper gang members, each armed with long-barreled firearms, and a bright spotlight to illuminate the surrounding area.
This made the watchtower a bright beacon in the midst of a dark sea.
With the aid of the dark fog that completely enveloped the Viper gang
base, Team 2 continued to monitor the area from outside.
It was a race against time to carry out a sneak attack.
