Chapter 421 Target: Tiger gang
"Everyone has a first time, right? Apart from nervousness and some pain, people must get over the hurdle to become a real woman, um, I meant a stronger human. No pun intended," Tang Ziyi slipped, her tongue.
Xiao Yue and the rest stayed away as if to express that nobody knew this pervert. Although Sister Tang's words made sense, the context really created embarrassment and misunderstanding.
Azi almost lost her breath and gasped angrily. "Don't joke around. First time is indeed the first time. But there's a difference in the first time between practice and actual combat, for…f… never mind."
Tang Ziyi stepped forward and patted the aggrieved pilot's shoulder for comfort. "You don't need to worry about us. I guarantee you, we're safer than you consider. Don't pressure yourself too much."
Xiao Yue also spoke out to prove the possibility. "Sister Azi, even if we fell from the third floor, we wouldn't be injured at all."
"That's impossible!" One of the two pilots disagreed. Normal physics couldn't back Xiao Yue's words. But who were the operators chosen for this operation? Every member was a physically enhanced humanoid transcendent—strength, reaction speed, agility, physique, stamina, willpower, and more, had broken several limits posed by mortal bodies.
Referring to this group as Supersoldiers wasn't the wrong terminology.
"We won't blame you; it's our choice," Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu added. More members spoke out to persuade.
"Even then, can't you attack from the ground? With our level of armored technologies, we can complete the task with ease. Why choose air assault?" Azi asked helplessly, unable to shake the team's determination.
"It's cool and handsome…ouch!" Tang Ziyi whistled and teased before being beaten by Xiao Yue, who complained about her lover's behavior—Couldn't she stop kidding around? Azi was almost going to cry from your style.
"Wait, wait…" Azi waved her hands in confusion. "Won't that mean, the previous operators who rode our helicopters were actually first-timers?"
Everyone was stunned before they nodded. The two pilots widened their eyes. Oh, that was way worse. Fortunately, nothing happened. These girls could really pretend; they didn't even realize newbies were on board. When they aimed their rifles by attaching ropes to stabilize, they appeared so proficient.
Never did the three pilots expect these girls to have no real experience at all. In the end, Azi sighed and gave in. Since the former girls could do so, the female operators chosen specially by Instructor Tang should be more capable.
Nonetheless, Azi was adamant about the reason why the group chose this approach. Tang Ziyi voiced the possible scenarios, detrimental to Ling Qingyu. The previous passenger Azi transported served more like a mobile turret in the air and an elevated firing position.

Therefore, Azi and her three friends weren't concerned about how they dismounted. What Tang Ziyi's group would do next in the plan was like those special forces—fast roping.
Tang Ziyi explained: "I did think about frontal assault, but we would lose our surprise and give the gang leader an opportunity to escape. Who knew if he had dug a tunnel, leading somewhere in secret, causing us to miss the right moment? We want to strike forcefully before others react. It's also to guard against corrupt officials' intervention. The best solution is air assault.
So, Azi, we are going in with the most appropriate method."
"That's it," Azi nodded and looked at her friends. They could only accept their mission since words came from Tang Ziyi.
Hearing the pilots' agreement, Tang Ziyi clapped her hand and led the group away to a private room. Everyone was a bit puzzled before Tang Ziyi opened a patch on her fragsuit and swiped something, connected to her tablet.
Suddenly, Tang Ziyi's all-black uniform transformed into camouflage MCU color, including the body armor and helmet.
The girls had their mouths agape. They stared at the change in disbelief. The three pilots had more extreme reactions. They slapped each other's back to prove what they saw wasn't a dream.
"How do you do that, Sister Tang? It's pretty cool," Su Ruomei asked.
"I upgraded the new clothes, which you also have the same function. It's just the fabric is made of smart material," Tang Ziyi answered. "The process is similar to how a chameleon blends in with the environment, in addition to the exoskeleton. Of course, it still can't change by itself according to the surroundings.
We have to manually input the patterns, but girls, we have multi-purpose clothes without needing to change based on the mission requirements. It's comfortable and convenient."
Everyone in the group was somewhat leaning toward a military career. They understood the benefits the clothes offered. If this technology was already successful, invisibility wasn't far away.
"So, Sister Tang, are you also researching optical invisibility?" Jiang Yu inquired.
"Of course, dear. The plan is on the agenda. Very soon, we'll have one like those advanced soldiers depicted in games and whatnot," Tang Ziyi affirmed everyone's desire.
"We'll become specters and ghosts in the coming days," one girl cried out her inner thoughts.
The girls clapped in joy as they agreed with this vision. The equipment they wore already surpassed what the world currently owns in terms of technology. Now, they were leaping further, and Tang Ziyi proved this wasn't the end. It seemed joining Ling Qingyu wasn't so bad to enjoy the state-of-the-art delicacies.
Even Azi's trio were looking forward to the next days. Although no technologies related to aeronautics had come up yet, they believed the time to wait shouldn't be long.
Afterward, Tang Ziyi taught the group how to change the color and pattern for camouflage purposes. From entirely black, everyone wore MCU green camouflage. The Kevlar helmet and the armor vest also followed suit.
As for why Tang Ziyi decided to change the outfits, in addition to the mission requirement where the location was near sparser urban land where trees and grass were common, it was also to teach the others that there were still hidden functions contained in the uniform.
Altogether, there were 36 personnel, separated into three teams; each allocated to a helicopter. Tang Ziyi led the first one, accompanied by Xiao Yue, riding in Azi's flight.
Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu led the other two. Conventionally, the maximum passenger load the H160 could handle is 12 excluding the two pilots' weight, which meant the above situation was already flying overweight because these women were equipped heavily.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, with Athena's assistance and Tang Ziyi's innovation, the three helicopters were completely modified—fuel tank, engines, internal compartment where the length was slightly elongated, adding rib frames and other components to support the structure.
After everyone was loaded, the space inside was ample and provided maximum comfort for the operators. The total weight was far away from reaching the maximum take-off weight, retaining the helicopters' maneuverability.
Soon, the whirlpools above swam in high speed and three machines defied gravity and lifted into the sky slowly. Under the eyes of everyone on the ground, the helicopters turned into faint dots, leaving in a mighty formation.
The officers who remained on duty and civilians capturing rare footage watched in amazement. Frankly, this was the first time they saw real helicopters belonging to the police force in Province N.
No one knew apart from relevant personnel, that the three helicopters flew away for another fight. The Spirit Fox's hostage rescue success and chasing robbers hadn't died down yet.
In the Internet circle, people from other provinces merely glanced at the news and continued their work. These days, it wasn't like once or twice a month, Spirit Fox from Province N occupied headlines. They were used to the volatile state of Province N.
Of course, the officials and superiors like Mama Yang had different thoughts. The poorest province had managed to solve the crisis or diseases that might need help from central authorities. Heck, it didn't even reach the top provincial circle. The case was closed by a city department.
