087 Assault on the Mall [Part 3]

```

The loose defenses set up by the rebel forces posed no challenge for Yang Ming; a single stealth boat could handle it.

The real difficulty of tonight's assault lay in the skyscraper stronghold of the New Federation agents.

Lulian had chosen the location of the stronghold with great care.

The buildings surrounding the skyscraper were low, and from its vantage points, they could sip coffee and survey much of the city with a few primitive binoculars.

They surely carried out surveillance operations round-the-clock, covering every angle.

[According to preliminary findings from Lyu:]

Most floors of this commercial building were empty, with hotels, supermarkets, large shopping malls, and food streets—all complex terrains, now closed for business.

Several floors lower, hundreds of specialized tactical team members were stationed, armed with various individual weapons, guarding each escape route and entrance.
