Chapter 640: Receiving Weapons

The urgency of time caught Zhang Yi off guard.

He glanced at the satellite phone. It was already 3:30 PM, which meant that in just over ten hours, they’d be setting off for Jiangning City to carry out the mission.

Following the planned outline, Lan Xincheng explained the mission briefing to the three teams.

“The enemy is currently active in Jiangning Plaza, right in the heart of Jiangning City.”

“It’s one of the busiest commercial districts in the area. They’ve employed tech that blocks satellite detection, so we can’t monitor them in real-time.”

“When the time comes, we’ll begin by carrying out a full-scale bombardment of Jiangning Plaza.”

“Then, your three teams will serve as the vanguard, advancing slowly from three different directions.”

“When the enemy shows up, your mission is to hold them back and engage in a prolonged fight. The rest will be handled by the operation’s main force — Celestial Squad.”

As for the finer details, Lan Xincheng merely skimmed over them.

Zhang Yi understood that the real core of this mission lay with Celestial Squad.

And what they were going to do didn’t need to be disclosed to too many people.

That was to prevent information leaks and avoid a repeat of the mishap during the first battle.

After Lan Xincheng finished speaking, he looked around and asked again, “Any other questions?”

Xia Lingling let out a cold laugh and folded her arms, completely indifferent.

The others had similar expressions.

They were all very clear on their role and had mentally prepared for it long ago.

But so what if they were just bait?

As long as the mission succeeded, the benefits would be substantial.

Not only could they fulfill their patriotic duty and earn a name for themselves, they could also gain a ton of resources and territory.

Definitely worth the risk.

Lan Xincheng waited a few seconds. Seeing that no one raised any objections, he continued, “Then, please go prepare for battle!”

“Battle prep?”

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow. He was already fully geared up, so there wasn’t anything he particularly needed to do.

Chief of Operations Tu Yunlie slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, “For this operation, Headquarters has prepared specialized gear for you. Follow me in a moment to receive your loadout.”

He paused, then emphasized, “It’s custom gear used by the Yan Yun Guards!”

Everyone’s eyes lit up with curiosity and anticipation.

They’d never used the elite gear issued to the professional units in Blizzard City.

But they’d all heard about it — and knew how powerful it was.

Zhang Yi immediately thought of those black, skin-tight combat suits and the standard-issue cold weapons forged from Adamantine alloy.

And of course — Origin Bullets.

So far, with Lu Keran’s help, Zhang Yi had only managed to replicate the Origin Bullets.

As for the Adamantine weapons and black combat suits — either the materials were too hard to synthesize, or the tech was too advanced for Lu Keran to recreate in the short term.

“Everyone!”

Zhu Zheng stood up, followed by the others.

His face was serious, like a slab of cold black steel.

“This battle concerns the reputation of the Jiangnan District — and the honor of our nation!”

“So I ask you all — fight with everything you have. Make sure these Ronin are wiped out!”

Everyone shouted in unison: “Yes!!”

Their loud and resolute voices rattled the ceiling.

It didn’t matter where these people came from — whether they were kind, wicked, vile, cunning, or just plain survivors.

But in the face of national duty, none of them would hesitate.

This was the kind of glorious moment they could proudly boast about for years to come.

After the meeting, Zhu Zheng kept Deng Shentong, Tu Yunlie, and a few others behind.

As core members, they had more detailed strategies to go over.

Meanwhile, taking Zhang Yi and the other Outer City superhumans to choose their equipment was left to Baili Changqing.

Truth be told, Zhang Yi felt a bit frustrated.

He was a squad captain too — technically on the same level as Deng Shentong.

But clearly, Baili Changqing wasn’t part of the inner circle in the operations command.

In Blizzard City, strength was everything. Your ability decided your rank.

Zhang Yi and the others followed Baili Changqing to the armory below.

After several rounds of identity verification, Baili Changqing opened the warehouse door.

What appeared before them was a massive weapons depot — rows upon rows of neatly organized gear!

Firearms, cold weapons, battle suits, tanks, armored vehicles, even armed helicopters!

Baili Changqing turned around with a smile and gestured broadly: “Everyone, you’re free to choose any weapons here. Take as much as you can carry!”

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

Baili Changqing’s smile froze, and he quickly corrected himself: “I mean, anything you can carry on your person. Space ability users aren’t allowed to stash it in their spatial zones.”

Zhang Yi just shrugged indifferently.

He wasn’t that interested in regular gear anyway.

From the moment he stepped in, his eyes had been fixed on the battle suits.

Everyone else rushed into the armory, eyes lighting up at the sight of the cutting-edge weapons inside.

Veteran Yu Zhengyang made a beeline for the anti-material sniper rifles. He opened a heavy weapons case and pulled out a massive Barrett sniper rifle.

Wu Shifang went straight to the battle suit section, picking out a heavy-duty suit of armor.

This suit weighed at least 20 kilograms, with layers of metal plating on the outside and an exoskeletal structure inside to enhance strength.

Perfect for close-combat Enhancement Types like him.

Some knew exactly what they needed and quickly grabbed the right equipment.

Others were still debating what weapons best suited them.

Zhang Yi headed over to the suits and pulled a black, skin-tight suit off the wall.

But the moment he touched it, his brow furrowed slightly.

It didn’t feel anything like the one he’d worn at the martial field.

He tried a few other suits — all had the same off-feeling texture.

“What’s going on? Was that one just a higher-grade suit?” he thought.

Looking up, Zhang Yi scanned the entire armory.

The gear here was definitely advanced — but all standard issue.

Thermal weapons didn’t mean much to Zhang Yi. With White Owl and Thunderstrike, the custom weapons Lu Keran made for him, he was already equipped with cutting-edge personal arsenal.

Those two weapons alone easily outclassed things like the Barrett or Desert Eagle.

As for cold weapons—

Zhang Yi casually picked up a dark dagger and tested its weight.

Sure enough, it wasn’t made from Adamantine alloy.

He pretty much got the picture.

The weapons available to them in the Jiangnan District armory weren’t the best of the best.

Zhang Yi quietly made his way back to Baili Changqing.

Lowering his voice, he said, “You’re sending us out with this stuff?”

Baili Changqing gave a dry chuckle. “We’re not shortchanging you. These are the standard weapons used by the Yan Yun Guards.”

“Then...”

Zhang Yi looked at him, confused.

Baili Changqing explained, “The suit you wore at the martial field — only investigation squads and a few higher-ups with special clearance are allowed to use that.”

“As for Adamantine weapons, same deal. That stuff’s not exactly off-the-shelf.”
