Slim fingers fly over the keyboard of the machine, kick-starting it into action. The monitor lights up, displaying the blueprint of the armoured vehicle. Another couple of taps on the keyboard and the screen flickers, changing to show the six full-body pieces of equipment the soldiers are wearing.

"Woah, the person who created this car and equipment is a real genius ah." Li Qing stares at the screen with sparkling eyes as he sighs in admiration.

An arm curls around his body, drawing him into an embrace as Huo Zaiyuan's voice sounds in his ear. "You are also a genius. Youngster, you finally found your calling. All the trouble you put me through ever since I met you again were not endured in vain."

Teased by Huo Zaiyuan, Li Qing's face reddens as his temper explodes. "Little Yuan, you are so annoying!"

"Thank you." Huo Zaiyuan takes it as a compliment without batting an eye before turning to Long Zhanye. "This car and the allocated equipment are a set. If they simply go in the way they are now, there is a high chance of encountering danger."

"I understand." Long Zhanye nods, then asks the recruit. "Are there any other extra equipment in here?"

"Eh? There is, there is. There are exactly four more outfits. Senior officer, you...are you planning on coming with us?" Even if they cannot see the soldier's expression, one can tell from his body language and words that he is dumbfounded.

Long Zhanye's reputation is not confined to A City's military district only. Entering the Military Academy at the age of fifteen, he is able to take up S-rank missions, complete them successfully and return with his body parts still intact. And now, out of the blue, he unexpectedly decides to assist them. With him by their side, it means their mission is a guaranteed success.

"That's right. Is there a problem?" Long Zhanye quirks an eyebrow at him.

"No, of course not. I'll go prepare the equipment for all of you." Saying thus, the soldier scurries away to prepare everything.

"Older brother Long, we are going to help them, huh?" Li Qing blinks.

"Little Yuan and I will enter the city with them. You and Qin Jun will stay in the car to guard it and act as backup. This vehicle requires someone who knows how to operate it to stay, or else it would be useless," Long Zhanye says, patting his shoulder.

Hearing this, Li Qing feels extremely happy. In the past, he was always protected by the others. This is the first time he feels he is able to contribute a lot and able to assist everyone.

Putting on the attire, the four forgoes wearing the headgear. Li Qing and Qin Jun remain in the back of the armoured car in order to monitor and operate the machines while Huo Zaiyuan and Long Zhanye return to the Hummer.

"Why are we wearing the same gear as them? Although the quality is pretty good, I don't like wearing skintight clothes. It feels rather uncomfortable." Huo Zaiyuan scowls, pulling at the fabric covering his body.

Currently driving the Hummer and following close behind the armoured car, Long Zhanye glances over at the complaining youth with a fond smile. "Even normal attires designed by Uncle Long are always simple, but made with top-quality fabrics, let alone these clothes manufactured to resist toxic matters and various other dangers. That vehicle may look rather ordinary, but it is not your typical armoured car. Its frame is made out of the hardest steel alloy available and every surface is bulletproof. The clothes we are wearing right now is from a high-quality fibre that is extremely durable and bulletproof."

"You seem to be very familiar with it." Huo Zaiyuan raises his eyebrows as he puts on the earpiece.

"The military attire I usually wear are all made from this kind of material. It makes me look smart!" Long Zhanye boasts. "Wait until we return to A City. I'll wear it to show you."
