On the other side, things were going smoothly at the NCT base. Thanks to the explosives, they didn't have to struggle too much. Mark, Hendery and Xiaojun headed out to check if the two enemies were no longer alive. After confirming, the three moved them inside the van and drove to their usual disposal area where they would meet up with Doyoung.

Shotaro was at the little hideout of Serene and him. He was in charge of looking out for the enemies and giving the members orders while Taeyong was out. He had a better scope of the area compared to the enemies.

"One enemy is trying to enter through the front," Shotaro reported and everyone got his report. "Johnny, Kun, Jeno, Chenle, go outside and kill him."

The four acted quickly right after the orders of Shotaro were heard. The other members who remained inside had their guards up. Shotaro prioritized that none of the enemies enter the base, as no enemy has ever entered. He wanted to keep it that way.

Yangyang was the only one appointed outside. He was scouting the area outside the perimeter of the base. In case The Boyz had any backup, he would directly deal with them and report it to the main base.

A sound of a twig breaking had the alert Yangyang turn to the direction of its source. He approached the bush carefully, anticipating an ambush. Without hesitation, he shot at the bush. Among the sounds of bullets, he didn't expect one to hit him.

"Didn't expect that now, did you?" a chuckle came from up a tree that was at least 3 meters away from Yangyang. Approaching the injured boy, he looked down on him. "Don't forget that The Boyz's aim is immaculate."

The person who shot him was no other than Younghoon, one of the ace members of The Boyz. He knew that only he and Haknyeon were the only ones remaining, as well as Jacob who was at their base.

"Don't you think you're a little too weak to be affected by a bullet like that?" Younghoon mocked and crouched down. "Guess rankings are just a number after all."

Yangyang, who was bleeding from the bullet that was shot in a vital area, smirked without saying anything. This had perplexed the enemy. Swiftly, Yangyang took out a syringe with a mysterious liquid inside. Before Younghoon could back away, Yangyang forced the needle into his neck and pushed the plunger.

"How can aim help you in times like this?" Yangyang took the time to mock him before Younghoon lost all control over his body. He dropped down onto the ground in seconds after the fluid entered his body. Yangyang, who stood up, was now the one looking down on him."I hope you enjoy your slow and painful death."

With his hand over the area where he had gotten shot, he contacted Shotaro through his in-ear.

"I need backup here and possibly Doyoung. Younghoon is down but I'm on the verge of being down so be quick," Yangyang conveyed before tumbling onto his knees. A piercing shout was heard right after as his injury began to hurt even more. That's when it had hit him. "Shotaro, it's a bullet that was covered in poison."
