Chapter 86: The Infiltration Plan

Time left for action? Less than 72 hours. No joke, this thing? Need to be solid. No room for salah langkah (wrong move).

Night Curtain's research base, wah lau, not like normal places. It's one kind underground bunker, security tight like KL traffic jam during rush hour. Cameras, biometric locks, armed guards—boleh mati if kena tangkap (can die if caught). Shadow Fox's daughter? Stuck inside Level 5 of Bio-Lab Zone. Getting in? Already susah. Getting out? Lagi susah.

Leifeng tapped on the massive screen, pointing at a red-highlighted corridor.

"This one main entrance. Two biometric doors. Only senior researchers can pass. Can hack? Impossible. System will scream like pasar malam vendor kena curi (night market vendor being robbed)."

"Then we need to get access from someone inside." Suman's brows furrowed. "There must be a target we can use."

Leifeng smirked. "Already have."

On the screen, a man's photo popped up—thirty-plus, gold-rimmed glasses, white lab coat, face like he never smile before.

"Target: Jiang Zhi. Senior researcher, got Level 5 clearance."

Lin Shu stared at the image. "Where he will be?"

"Every night, 7pm, he go canteen for short break. 20 minutes. That's our golden time." Leifeng zoomed in on a blueprint. "We make move there."

"Twenty minutes, can take clearance meh?" Suman doubtful.

Leifeng chuckled. "If we have his biometrics? No problem."

"Fingerprint, iris scan, DNA—all must match."

Lin Shu crossed arms. "How?"

Leifeng's grin widened. "Step one: DNA replacement."

He tapped the screen again, showing a picture of a coffee cup.

"This fella? Every day drinks same coffee. We spike it—add special enzyme Shadow Fox provide. It will alter his DNA reading for few hours."

Suman's eyes narrowed. "So when scanner check—"

"Not him, but us," Leifeng finished.

Lin Shu nodded. "Step two?"

"Fingerprints and iris duplication." Leifeng spun his laptop towards them. "Shadow Fox got 3D model printer. We get clear image, can print perfect fingerprint and iris contact lens."

"You want us to steal his face?" Suman raised a brow.

Leifeng laughed. "Not steal. Just… borrow."

"He got habit. Every night, he smoke at one dead zone—security cameras cannot see. We plant micro-cam above. Capture face, send data, 3D print. Habis cerita (end of story)."

Lin Shu exhaled. "Seems risky."

"Every mission risky," Leifeng shrugged. "Step three: Disguise as staff."

He pointed at another area on the map.

"All workers must wear sterilized suit. Lucky us—Shadow Fox got contact inside. One cleaner will leave three suits in storage locker for us."

Suman smirked. "Wah, this plan really got backup, ah?"

"Of course." Leifeng's voice was smug.

"But if Jiang Zhi suddenly kena migraine or decides not to go break, we finish." Lin Shu tapped the table.

Leifeng's eyes gleamed. "That's why, step four: System interference."

He clicked the remote, displaying a wave chart.

"Bio-Lab got EM field system. We can send pulse, knock out cameras for 5 minutes."

"Five minutes? Enough meh?" Suman skeptical.

"If plan go smooth, enough."

Lin Shu sighed. "Fine. Escape plan?"

Leifeng grinned, tapping another section on the blueprint.

"Step five: Extraction."

"Got one emergency tunnel. Last time used for fire escape. Now abandoned. Exit under Titiwangsa Lake."

Suman frowned. "We swim out?"

"Or drown."

Lin Shu exhaled. "So basically, we got five crucial steps."

Suman listed them out, fingers tapping the table:

Jiang Zhi's DNA must be altered.Fingerprint and iris scan must be successfully copied.Must enter Level 5 undetected.System must go down exactly on time.Tunnel exit must be clear.

Leifeng nodded. "One mistake? We all masuk dalam (go inside, meaning prison or worse)."

Lin Shu looked at the map one last time. He wasn't the type to gamble, but this—this wasn't a gamble. It was a calculated risk.

"Three days later, 2AM." His voice was steady. "We execute."

Suman and Leifeng exchanged looks. Then, without another word, all three stacked their hands together.

In the silence, a silent pact was formed.

The darkness had no mercy. And they? Had no choice but to dive deeper.
