Jaxon agreed with Kael. "You're right. That's not just a guard. It's an alarm system. If that thing screams, the whole shelter will know we're here."
The squad crouched in the shadows, weighing their options.
The outpost was small, but the presence of the Siren Zombie made it far more dangerous than a simple patrol station. Five Phoenix Phalanx guards could be handled quietly, but the creature was another matter.
Kael whispered, "We need to pass without being noticed. If we fight here, the Siren will alert the entire fortress…"
Jaxon shook his head. "Impossible. Look at the terrain… There are too many traps hidden, and barrier generators were also installed. How about we silence it before it has the chance to scream?"
"That will defeat the purpose of infiltrating the enemy's vicinity and gathering information silently…" Kael answered.
