Chapter 310: The future is not going to be peaceful
Last time, Tang Ziyi controlled meticulously and flawlessly so that Su Ruomei felt no pressure, simply following orders and guidance.
However, Su Ruomei must take the lead from now on. The stress level she faced wasn't small. Fortunately, her close comrades and Jiang Yu were by her side.
Before the convoy left, Athena's voice rang to her ears. Putting on her headset properly, Su Ruomei gave a response.
"Athena?"
"Captain Su, everything set?"
"We're about to leave in a moment." Su Ruomei said. "Why am I a Captain now?
"Should I call you Team Leader Su? That's too long." Athena replied. "I'll patch everyone on the radio and relay the intel."
"Got it." Su Ruomei sat on the passenger seat and clicked a button on her radio. "All units, Athena's taking the comm. She'll be our support for this operation."
"Received."
"Roger."
"Hello, everyone. I don't think I need to introduce myself. Timing is crucial. Let's get to the main theme." Athena said pertinent and important news, listing out possible attacks. "We still don't know for sure where and when or whether they'll make an attack but we do know the locations of the enemies.
Captain Su, I recommend you separate the convoy into 10 teams, 2 in each city and I'll transfer the information."
Su Ruomei, like others had her helmets on the laps, remained in the seat, tapping her headset with her finger.
"Good. Team 1-1 to 1-10, I don't need to talk more. Let's set out." Su Ruomei had already allocated 5 groups, each group consisted of two teams.
"Em? Captain Su, I haven't given you the locations yet." Athena's embarrassed voice came in, causing other sisters to snicker. They covered their mouths and bend their waist to hide their crimes.
Su Ruomei blushed and glared at the girls behind. She was too excited that she forgot. Don't worry, roll over a few times, you'll be smooth, Su Ruomei comforted herself and replied seriously. "Athena, go ahead."
"I've sent the targets' files on the PDAs inside your vehicles, including the GPS locations and the fastest route."
Su Ruomei nodded in satisfaction, looking at the turned-on monitor, with green lines depicting the routes each group would take.
Different vehicles had different markings. Su Ruomei clicked her tongue at Athena's hands and was curious how on earth she completed these.
The rest had similar frequency in their minds. At the same time, everyone sighed and lamented technology was advancing too fast.
First, their protective suits, with maximum resistance to large bullets and even fragmentation blasts. A vibranium version indeed. They were protected from head to toe.
The scene was like several teams of medieval knights in plate armors playing against the peasant uprising. Skills and equipment levels were pushed toward maximum stats. Not to mention the horrendous amount of training, a day comparable to several weeks.
This was also the reason why the girls apart from senior generations were confident even if their experience was low, because they could survive and make up later on. In terms of gaming vocabulary, they merely needed to farm more.
Now, Athena and her team's computer skills broadened their horizon further. The world was indeed rolling too fast that they felt old.
"Alright, I believe everyone has seen Athena's arrangement. Any questions?" Su Ruomei asked on the radio.
"Negative."
"No need."

"Let's go rock and roll then." Su Ruomei ordered the convoy to set out. As if by luck, coincidence, or Athena's manipulation, Jiang Yu was arranged to a second team following Su Ruomei's.
Ten civilian vans, Toyota Hiace and Toyota Alphard, departed from Ling Qingyu's residence. These were undercover vehicles, bought by Tang Ziyi, and modified for 'police' work.
There were no sirens, no lights—normal speeding vehicles. They couldn't afford to alert the gang members who might be somewhere on the lookout.
Although Athena could find them and inform the news with some effort, and change the path to avoid detection, nothing was absolute. The movement was better to be covert.
Soon, the convoy separated into five, each going toward different cities. Since Ling Qingyu's residence was located at a faraway distance from the metropolitan area in City N, most of the destinations were very close, especially when the highway was easier to access.
With ten cars, the size of the mission group was very large. Each van contained 8 personnel, amounting to 80 sisters.
Ling Qingyu wore Athena's spectacle, watching through the lens of the camera. She changed several perspectives chosen by Athena to monitor her subordinates.
There was no excitement or worries in her face like last time. Since she had trained once personally and experienced a mock battle with her guards, Ling Qingyu trusted their skills and was relieved to let go.
Her expression remained bland as if they were daily assignments. People's hearts grew stronger. Tapping her finger against the mahogany desk, Ling Qingyu's eyes narrowed.
Troublesome, she sighed. According to the best option, she should mobilize her guards and take out these Tiger gang members, one by one, extinguishing their existence out of the earth.
She didn't want to deal with or take precautions against their possible retaliation. Or she should let Tang Ziyi assassinate the so-called Boss Hu who threatened her and now made a move against her subordinates.
Unfortunately, too many missing people or deaths warranted unnecessary problems. Unless, she owned the military and launched the coup, blood-bathing from top to bottom so that the Province was clear of rats, fixing it was challenging because the process was surely going to be slow and torturing.
Besides, Ling Qingyu promised her lovely wife not to behave in a villainous manner. Obeying love was the first priority. Furthermore, strengthening Yang Qingyue's power was indeed another method to solve the root cause.
Ling Qingyu could afford to wait. It was nothing more than playing cat and mouse games longer with her enemies.
So, through judicial process, she must defeat her opponents. But the problem was small gang members might be able to exit from the prison in a few years or maybe months, depending on the level of corruptions.
Inmates running the prison, not the guards. Although Province N hadn't reached this hell-like level, Ling Qingyu must asked Yang Qingyue to clean the prison too.
She had seen too many movies or listened too many stories where the leaders ran their gangs from the prison. To be honest, she firmly believed only by thoroughly kill them, could the problem disappear.
However, Yang Qingyue's persuasion was also correct. If she relied too much on violence, sooner or later more challenging situations would dawn on her.
At the same time, Ling Qingyu listened to Athena's communication with Su Ruomei and her lips stretched into a smile. She giggled with delight and lamented her daughter had copied her aura.
Knock! Knock!
