Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

"Alright, I've finished the preparation. You can let the rest of our sisters grab these tools," Ling Qingyu said, gently removing Tang Ziyi's hand.

Tang Ziyi shrugged and ordered the girls on the radio to collect their equipment. Except for the operators who were scouting around the vicinity, the majority resided in this building, occupying several floors and windows.

As the operators entered the room, Ling Qingyu came out. Tang Ziyi complained, "Aren't you spoiling those poor girls too much? You even managed to bring out my newly developed kettle to prepare noodles for them."

"Please, I'm just increasing efficiency," Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes. "Instead of letting them rot in the dust, let's make use of them more."

Since Athena had created an electronics group, she and Tang Ziyi had also researched several new inventions, which included kitchen appliances like the kettle Ling Qingyu used to boil water quickly. "Quick" was an understatement because the water boiled in under a minute, powered merely by a battery.

Of course, these products wouldn't enter public hands yet to avoid disrupting the economy and creating enemies for themselves. But this didn't mean that she and her confidantes couldn't use their own inventions. There were many more in her bracelet—rice cookers, microwaves, barbecue plates, etc.

The products were a century ahead of the conventional world, thanks to Athena's chip development and the team's other progress.

"As long as you're happy," Tang Ziyi snapped back. "Come with me upstairs; I'll explain the tactics again."

Both went up, leaving the operators confused in the room. Their minds were in chaos.@@novelbin@@

Could someone explain how on earth Ling Qingyu brought so much heavy stuff? They weren't dreaming, right?

A few suspected Ling Qingyu was a Doraemon in disguise. Otherwise, why were there dozens of anti-tank TOW missiles, Stingers, and Javelin-like missiles here?

And those were just the heaviest. What about the ammunition, launchers, and sentry machine guns?

Yes, the sentry machine guns, which could be controlled remotely and only existed in science fiction, were piled here.

Futuristic weapons had suddenly appeared in their hands, and they were overwhelmed. As for why they knew how to operate them, there were short manuals on every machine.

Plus, in the 21st century, who hadn't played shooting games?

One of the operators raised her hand subconsciously and muttered, "Is it possible that our instructor managed to produce a spatial device?"

"You mean a space storage device like the ones we read about in novels?" Another exclaimed in doubt.

Nobody argued against this possibility. Living near Tang Ziyi, they had witnessed so many absurd innovations, such as the electrical appliances in this room.

If this possibility was proven true, all of this would make sense. Since these changes happened when Ling Qingyu arrived, the device must be with their boss.

Seeing the cooking utensils and canned food, a stomach growl broke the silence. "Let's fill our stomachs first."

While the operators' minds were in a mess, Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu leisurely came up to enjoy the view.

"Do you see the infrastructure at your 2 o'clock, 3 km away?" Tang Ziyi leaned on the pillar and guided Ling Qingyu, whose gaze followed her direction.

"Yes, the place seems like a dormitory with abundant facilities," Ling Qingyu squinted her eyes and replied.

"Good observation," Tang Ziyi nodded and walked closer to Ling Qingyu. "That's one of our targets. The other is at your 9 o'clock, which will be taken care of by Kilo 9 and 10, AKA—the Wolf teams."

Ling Qingyu gazed at the similar structures and pursed her lips. "We chose the one on the right?"

"Yep, the infrastructure of our choice is complicated and very large, requiring more members to tackle."

"Containment?"

"They'll set up once they finish picking up what you brought and leave here," Tang Ziyi said.

"I think we can snipe from here, correct?"

"Indeed," Tang Ziyi agreed. "In a conventional war, our snipers will kill as many enemies, particularly officers and any high-ranking superiors, from an unknown position until we are exposed. Once compromised, we'll withdraw if the enemy wields power that can threaten us, like artillery or aircraft.

"Now, our mission is to infiltrate as close as possible without alerting the enemies. We'll only provide overwatch for the assault team and contain any squirters. Take a look."

Ling Qingyu accepted the binoculars and glanced through the lens. The device had a thermal function, so she saw everything in the darkness.

Some figures patrolled on the top floor, and a few sentries were near the fences. They slung AK rifles. She saw them scolding the people underneath, who didn't dare to refute.

After tweaking with the device, Ling Qingyu discovered that the binoculars must be another of Tang Ziyi's innovations.

"So, a dozen agents we want to rescue are here, I suppose," Ling Qingyu asked.

"Not certain. The buildings I pointed out likely house new recruits, ones they haven't tamed yet, like a school dormitory, locked up and examined until they are sure they can control them."

"Really modern-day slavery. No… this is still the feudal method."

"Yep, no money, nothing. You work tirelessly for food and to avoid punishment," Tang Ziyi sighed.

"In that case, our undercover operatives shouldn't be here. Otherwise, how would they obtain intel just by being recruits?" Ling Qingyu asked, puzzled.

"We don't know. They stopped exchanging messages and communication with the base. The fortunate thing is they are alive and regularly report their status through encrypted devices.

"As for the two missing operators," Tang Ziyi bit her lips, "I don't anticipate any good news. Athena couldn't investigate. I'm afraid…"

"My gut tells me they're still alive," Ling Qingyu answered with a smile. Her intuition told her so.

"Your gut?"

"You should have seen how many people I've rescued through my sixth sense."

"We'll take your word for it then," Tang Ziyi's lips curled.

"Of course, but I don't really think they are here."

Tang Ziyi glared and scolded, "Oh, your crow's mouth again. It's pissing me off!"
