The commander and his men walked back into the vault, the smoke from the explosion thinning in the air. None of them showed concern as they approached the source of the blast.
One more step—and the commander stopped.
Creak…
Everyone paused, listening to the loud creak as a section of the wall parted, revealing a door.
Since the path ahead was unlit, one of the men switched on a flashlight and pointed it inside.
Sure enough, the beam revealed drawers built into the wall, like safety deposit boxes. As the light moved further ahead, it revealed a path—a long one, so long that the light could barely reach its end.
"Follow the path and send location pings to track where it leads," the commander ordered coldly.
His men didn't waste a second. A group of armed operatives immediately entered the passageway. At the same time, another team was instructed to monitor their underground movements from outside and estimate where the tunnel might lead.
