Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Chapter 136: Aegis

Of course, it would be wrong to say no one was nervous in their hearts. Nervousness, stress, and confidence were the normal factors going through their psychology.

Even Tang Ziyi had these inside her mind, albeit a difference in the degrees to which they affected her judgment and actions.

Tang Ziyi moved on her explanation and picked up the rifle in her hands. After seeing everyone already dressed up in the armored clothing, she ordered: "Now get yourselves some protection. Put the Helmet and Kevlar vest on your bodies."

In contrast to most military helmets, Tang Ziyi's one contained an additional glass shield visor similar to riot gear, in front of the face. In fact, the glass itself was a bullet-resistant shield similar to the one worn by GSG-9 and GIGN units around the world.

The ruffling of fabrics and clicks of buttons hooking resounded in the room.

The girls sprung into action, and finished her order after a while, listening to Tang Ziyi's description of a rifle.

QBZ-192 was a carbine version of QBZ-191 assault rifle that originated from Country C. A newly designed firearm completely different from its predecessor—QBZ-95 bullpup rifle.

It used 5.8x42 mm intermediate caliber and had a barrel length of 266.7mm. Its effective range was probably around 300-400 meters, ideal for most ground combat scenarios.

Tang Ziyi quickly disassembled the carbine parts into different parts labeling and displaying each component before the group: receivers, bolts, trigger guards, full-length Picatinny rail, barrels…etc.

She also listed out all the attachments available to match this carbine and assembled the gun again along with other extra components: laser sight, scope, handguards, and suppressors to lower the noise level. A newly modernized weapon appeared on her hands.

Honestly, Tang Ziyi didn't like this weapon at all. According to the news report, the bullets leaving the barrel spiraled during mid-flight, affecting the penetration ability, which was solved by Athena fortunately and the rifle achieved remarkable success as a result.

However, Tang Ziyi couldn't change the weapons they held as she liked because most firearm groups in Country C used domestically produced weapons.

If she wanted to import foreign weapons, she might need other privileges for a green light. That was one of the reasons why she let Athena manufacture such types of rifles for use.

Otherwise, the attention received from the outside wasn't worth their endeavor, and some other investigation from the central government agency might bring disadvantages instead.

Once she obtained licenses, she would immediately replace the weapon for a better platform, reliability, and adaptability.

"Get yourselves familiar with the weapons and equipment, and I'll talk about the combat plan in the next moment." Tang Ziyi said while putting bullets into the magazines.

The rest also followed suit, lock, and load, familiarizing themselves with the weapons and getting ready. Seeing everyone loaded up all the kits and holding the rifles as if looking at the precious jewelry, Tang Ziyi even couldn't identify who was who for sure.

Particularly, the kit also included head masks, displaying only the eyes to the onlookers, under their helmets and visors. It was the most important feature of their group, to protect their identities from being investigated by others after the mission.

Of course, there were codes tagged on the clothing after they dressed up completely, each with separate numbers to differentiate from each other.

"How many among you have the medical training and experience? Please raise your hand." Tang Ziyi saw three hands, one of them was Jiang Yu. "Jiang Yu and the other two will focus on providing first aids to the officers in need, while the rest of us will cover and provide suppressive fire for them. Are we clear about this?"

"Yes!"

"I know, we haven't trained to be qualified yet. But remember you're from the Special Brigade, having being taught, how to flank, maneuver, work as a team and handle the weapons perfectly. Plus, I have instructed and improved your weapon handling and body posturing skills in a firefight, in the last few days. I'm sure this mission will be a piece of cake for yah. Now, let's talk our mission."

Tang Ziyi put down her special glasses on the top of the box and turned the direction toward the wall. A projection consisting of the map and some labels appeared on the screen. Athena's glasses served as a projector for Tang Ziyi as she began to explain each label.

"These reds marked on the map are the locations of the ambushes, we need to reinforce. The green lines marked are the routes we'll take based on which parties we're providing support."

Initially, everyone marveled at Tang Ziyi's display of sophisticated technology and wanted to ask her. As time passed by listening to Tang Ziyi's briefing, everyone's concentration went toward on how to rescue and deal with various situations along the way.

Tang Ziyi provided the main framework and the rest built plans accordingly around the frame. Numerous plans were on the discussion including the emergency plans.

Since everyone had a clear understanding of the military affairs, Tang Ziyi's workload decreased and she had to halt their planning process as they became more and more immersed in it.

If there weren't any time restraints, Tang Ziyi didn't mind letting them plan more. But the current situation called for an immediate rescue measure.

Nobody questioned her sci-fi advanced projection animation since their focus was in another direction.

"Everything is ready. But the only thing I don't like is traveling via our SUVs. Driving through and toward the hot zone." Su Ruomei pointed out the main dangerous factor of the mission.

"Yes, bullets can sieve through the doors and we're like sitting ducks." Jiang Yu agreed with her senior sister's words. The other nodded but there weren't much they could do.

"Anyway, it's the best vehicle suitable among the cars we already possess."

"Haha. Please don't worry about this problem. Follow me." Tang Ziyi chuckled hearing their worries and walked toward another room.

The others looked at each other, puzzled but still followed Tang Ziyi. Although everyone was covered by their attires, Tang Ziyi sensed their shock from a mile away after reaching a small underground parking space.

After all, it was rare for law enforcement agencies, especially in Province N, where chaos rose and the pay was low, to even have an armored vehicle.

The best vehicle, the police owned for the SWAT units, was the van type. Now before everyone's eyes laid two huge armored tactical vehicles, looking both futuristic and very strong.

There was no doubt it could resist bullets easily just from outside metallic appearance. Tang Ziyi walked toward the side of the vehicle and hammered its skin with her fist.

For the sole purpose of serving as a SWAT vehicle, black and white colors were painted on the skin, along with the big capitals: 'POLICE'.

Athena also modified the vehicles with sirens, blue and red lights. The two huge beasts caused speechlessness among the girls.

"We're driving these to the scenes?" Su Ruomei hadn't recovered yet.

"Of course, hop in, and let's drive them out. The keys are all inside. Separate into two teams as discussed. Bravo One will be with me and Bravo Two will follow Su Ruomei." Tang Ziyi lifted herself and entered the passenger side.

The girls loaded up the remaining ammunition boxes and first-aid med-kits into the two trucks while listening to the vehicles' specs from Tang Ziyi. Their hearts and minds were already numbed with several shocks within a day and it was no longer a surprise.

After everyone got inside the trucks, the driver in the vehicle, Tang Ziyi was in, revved up the engine and familiarized herself with several electronic components quickly. The other truck underwent the same process.

Fortunately, the vehicles had computer-aided programming, and Athena's hidden support to facilitate the driving difficulty.

"Bravo One, ready for departure." Tang Ziyi talked on the radio.

"Bravo Two, ready." Su Ruomei's voice came out.

"Bravos, we're leaving now." Tang Ziyi gestured at her driver to depart.

"Bravo Two following Bravo One." Two trucks rolled up from the underground parking lot and appeared for the first time out of the veils. The Villa gates automatically opened and closed after allowing the trucks to pass through and drive over the streets of their residential blocks.

"Instructor Su, what's the name of this armored truck?" The driver beside Tang Ziyi asked.

Tang Ziyi was a bit stunned because she had never thought of a name until she heard Athena's squeaky persistent voice coming from her spectacles.

"Let me, Let me!… In the name of Athena, let it be called Aegis."

Why did the way Athena expressed her wish, sound more like an ordeal from the high goddess? Tang Ziyi felt weird.

Ling Qingyu named the celestial computer AI—Athena—because she hoped her daughter would resemble its wisdom like the Goddess of Wisdom and War.

Tang Ziyi was unsure this time whether the childish Athena learned Greek mythology and applied it to reality for fun after hearing her mother's naming reasons and styles.

Aegis referred to the shield used by Athena in Greek Mythology engraved with Medusa's head at the center. And Aegis also sounded very high-tech, giving off a strong sci-fi vibe, and suited the current technologically advanced armor truck quite to Tang Ziyi's taste.

Tang Ziyi's mouth twitched as expected of mother and daughter but still replied to her driver. "Aegis."

So, the huge black armored MRAP truck was now designated as Aegis class, once words left Tang Ziyi's lips.

"Good name, good name. Aegis-class MRAP, I like it." The driver had the same opinion as Tang Ziyi.

Well, it didn't matter as long as the naming wasn't outrageous, Tang Ziyi supposed. In any case, Aegis would enter the real combat testing stage and further improvements could be made after solving today's chaos
