Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Fifteen minutes passed as Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu weaved through bumps and plantations before finally stopping at an elevated position to secure a commanding height.

The heavy rainfall and lightning began to lighten a little. The wind no longer blew harshly. Once Phase 2 commenced, the weather should have already calmed down.

Tang Ziyi picked a spot and arranged another observation post like the one they had both set up near Kilo 5 and Kilo 6.

Now, they had no other operators near the vicinity, alone to scout the city's network and situation. Of course, they had no worries.

A perfectly concealed place along with two talented superhumans—if the worst came to reality, they just needed to move their enemies. There was no way they would fail to fend off even a staggering number of enemies.

Not to mention, Ling Qingyu possessed unlimited ammunition support to sustain a longer fight. Even if they were defeated, they could still run and fight again.

Anyway, neither of them felt any apprehension about commanding so close to the battlefield. The previous Ling Qingyu might have been uneasy, but now she had obviously matured in a hot battlefield filled with gunpowder and smoke, though she was obviously sniping others without being seen.

Since the time was still early, both of their scopes sifted through the city: every block, every building, every house, every street, and every road.

Despite having intelligence from Gu Yi and Athena, close analysis was still necessary for further tactical planning. While Tang Ziyi muttered intermittently every time she glanced at a particular location, Ling Qingyu boredly looked around.

Regarding tactics, she was a complete novice. If not for this bastard's insistence, she wouldn't have joined the battlefield and even decimated gang members' bodies.

Strategy was her advantage, but she didn't believe she could miraculously assume a role as a strategic commander. No matter how talented, she still had to learn to be a commander. Xiao Yue was best for the job.

Fortunately, before leaving Province N, Xiao Yue, Su Ruomei, and Tang Ziyi had laid out multiple plans for the latter to utilize depending on changing variables on the ground.

And Tang Ziyi had the experience and talent to adapt to any change of scenario on the battlefield.

Though she always admitted she was never a strategist, Ling Qingyu gave her the benefit of the doubt. This bastard would fend well, in spite of the obstacles.

Ling Qingyu reckoned Tang Ziyi was merely not interested in thinking games and preferred action on-site.

Forty-five minutes later.

"All units, sitrep," Tang Ziyi asked as she glanced at the timer on her wrist. The hour preparation deadline was over.

"Kilo 1 ready."

"Kilo 2 set."

"Kilo 3 set."

"Kilo 4 on standby."

…

Every Kilo team had their weapons locked and loaded, already rested and energetic. Even the previous Kilo teams, who had been engaged in close-quarters battle, had already regained morale and stamina.

Kilo 1 had already moved the necessary caches for other teams to continue the operation. As soon as Phase 2 commenced, they would begin to evacuate the detained individuals to a safer location. In other words, they would become rear security for the vanguard.@@novelbin@@

Kilo 2 and 3 were still responsible for containing enemy reinforcements. Kilo 4 already had two Toyota technicals.

Everyone was mounted and waiting for an order. PKM turret gunners lazily leaned on the metal hood.

Usually, grouping together in a stationary formation was frowned upon since the risk of casualties from a single attack was deadly.

If something dangerous managed to hit a single vehicle, the entire team would be out of combat. Each Kilo among 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 possessed two technicals.

Five sat inside the vehicle: two in the front seat, one mounted on the turret, and two on the trailer, covering the left and right.

"Phase 2 is a GO. Move to the staging area." Tang Ziyi's command finally came.

The technicals roared and set out. Exploiting the night advantage, no headlights were used. On the dashboard, a screen connected to the thermal camera perfectly displayed the required vision for the driver.

If required, the cars also had infrared torches to illuminate for personnel using NVGs. Although the foes Spirit Fox were facing merely belonged to the lowest level gangs, not even terrorists, nobody underestimated and assumed the enemies had no night capability.

Infrared headlights could be seen from afar by those who owned the appropriate equipment.

They dared not bet on the possibility that no one was equipped with night vision devices. Since the given intel noted the presence of mercenaries, who knew how advanced their equipment was?

From the elevated position, Tang Ziyi saw her hidden teams and requested Ling Qingyu, "Qingyu, take out three of our endurance drones to the sky to monitor the entire city."

"Which ones?" Ling Qingyu wasn't kidding. So much stuff had been packed in her bracelet. Various drones were included.

She had already released the drones requested by Tang Ziyi to Kilo 1 to deliver the goods.

"Fixed-wing type, the big ones with four hollow tubes on the wings."

"Ah, the ones without engines or propellers?" Ling Qingyu quickly understood and released the three mini-aircraft.

"Actually, those tubes are engines. They suck air and redirect it at extreme speed so that enough force is generated to push." Tang Ziyi corrected Ling Qingyu.

Waving her hand, Ling Qingyu gestured that she understood and stopped the further scientific explanation. "Go ahead, I know."

Tang Ziyi rolled her eyes bitterly and spoke. "Athena, control these drones and fly them above, circling around."

"Okay, Aunt Tang," Athena's reply swiftly came. Instantly, the three drones whirled and hopped into the sky.

The rain and wind seemed to have no effect on the flying machines. From Tang Ziyi's and Athena's confidence, Ling Qingyu knew that lightning wasn't even a threat. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire

However, a major problem remained. Since the machines were powered by electricity, there was no doubt about aerodynamic efficiency in the design. Only a large delta wing and a vertical tail were used to maneuver the aircraft.

Still, the battery wouldn't last long compared to the fuel-powered ones, right? Ling Qingyu thought.

Unexpectedly, she, like many others, misunderstood. In terms of efficiency and range, electric fared far better than conventional machines, particularly cars.

It was the lithium pollution and inconvenience of charging that people saw as the bad aspects of EVs. Regarding aircraft, heavy static weight became an issue. Conventional aircraft burned fuel, reducing weight in the process, while battery supply got reduced but the weight remained the same.

This meant that more power was needed to sustain the flight. Tang Ziyi noticed Ling Qingyu's expression and guessed the reason. "You still have another three. When these machines have low battery, you can replace them."

"If only we had more time to let Athena come up with a machine to construct a city inside your bracelet. Tsk...tsk..."

Ling Qingyu shook her head, pursing her lips. She wondered if her own possession really belonged to her.

Why were her two generals so unscrupulous? Well, anyway, every time she protested, she wilted.

It couldn't be helped since both of them exploited their advantages to the extreme, including flirtation and seduction.

Not to mention, Athena's products never failed her expectations. Who knew how long the drones' batteries could last? With additional black technology, she wouldn't be surprised if the endurance reached five hours of continuous flight.

"Kilo 4, waiting at staging area."

"Kilo 5..."

All Spirit Fox operators had tablets inside their vests, and a few in each team were equipped with smaller drones to scout.

They could also connect to other drones' cameras and satellite visions. An extreme perk for any tactical team.

From individual to overhead perspective—and satellite eyes—this was the wet dream of every commander.

The tactics were simple. Athena designated visible targets through satellites and relayed them to the tablets where anyone could access the information.

Only suspected and armed targets were focused on. Athena double-checked these through drone footage, where the camera technology provided an outstanding zoom.

Kilo 4 to 8 would move in and out twice, striking the enemy hard and violently suppressing and disorienting them. Afterward, a methodical clearing would start; convoys would march on the road, where Spirit Fox would utilize small drones to check nearby buildings to detect enemies.

They would only enter the buildings that contained threats. Non-threats were ignored, probably addressed the next day or so.

In the meantime, the big drones above would initiate electronic jamming to paralyze the enemy's communication system. Though the jamming capability on the drones wasn't powerful, it was enough to slow down or confuse messages.

Together with Athena's handling, the result was a complete information blackout for the enemy. During the detailed clearance, Athena would send messages for bystanders to stand clear of the conflict and advise to ensure unwanted casualties didn't occur.

As for destroying the communication tower, Tang Ziyi hesitated. Despite the fact that in war, information advantage was necessary, she didn't want to destroy people's normal lives if possible.

She believed her subordinates would complete the mission beautifully.

Since all Kilos had arrived, and the duo had obviously seen them from above, Tang Ziyi gave the order to assault.
