BXBX NOVEL Chapter 131: What Tang Ziyi hid was unveiled.
Su Ruomei did tell her she was discharged from the military and that was it. Now Tang Ziyi only spent a few days with them, and she knew their history more than her.
Ling Qingyu glared at her jealously—this big sister really understood how to snatch away the girls.
Tang Ziyi couldn\'t read other\'s minds but she could see through Ling Qingyu\'s expression and the corner of her lips twitched.
Why did she look at her like an enemy? Blame yourself if you don\'t have the talents and skills to receive admiration.
Should Ling Qingyu hear Tang Ziyi say this out loud? She would definitely be pissed off. She possessed skills but those ones couldn\'t help her catch girls.
"Oh! So, you didn\'t know them enough?" Tang Ziyi asked in mockery and bit the last word \'enough\'.
"I\'m not like some people who use their available time flirting with girls." Ling Qingyu retorted.
"Is it not that you don\'t have the courage to make the first move?" Tang Ziyi rolled her eyes.
"I provide expenses for my big family and my support ensures everyone lives well." Ling Qingyu replied.
"Alright." Tang Ziyi stopped this facade. "So, don\'t worry about them. They\'ll do fine."
"To be honest, hearing your words from the heart, I\'ll leave those things to you." Ling Qingyu said, also discontinuing throwing salts at one another. "But hey, even if they came out of Special Brigade, you have to know they still lacked training to handle our scenarios."
"Well, you\'re correct. Their training hadn\'t reached a week. But my crashed course had covered up the basics except shooting live rounds." Tang Ziyi agreed with Ling Qingyu\'s opinion.
"And you send them straight into danger. Look I don\'t care that much about those officers\' lives but these guards are like my little sisters."
"As is my feeling. Why do you think I won\'t care about those? It\'s because my eyes tell me, they\'re capable and ready." Tang Ziyi interrupted. "Besides, this time is a simple reinforcement. Providing support, not hostage rescue, not raiding barricaded suspects, not active shooter scenarios."
Ling Qingyu said nothing. She was just too worried. The scenario appeared to be easy for Tang Ziyi\'s group. But she expressed disagreement: "But there\'re too many enemies in an urban combat…"
"Remember you also have Athena. A great battlefield assistance and a game changer." Tang Ziyi reminded.
With Athena\'s support, they would exactly know where the enemies were located exactly most of the time, mitigating the risks they had to take in order to search for them.
"Still, this factor doesn\'t guarantee you and the girls\' safety. Well, I shouldn\'t worry about you but you know what I meant."
"Look Qingyu, you must understand in this world, there\'s nothing without any risks. Even if you walk on the street, you\'re facing risks all the time. A flower vase could kill you from a height." Tang Ziyi patiently explained, grasping Ling Qingyu\'s palm.
Well, Ling Qingyu heard her words but most of her attention was on Tang Ziyi\'s softness and firmness, the contrast felt in her hand.
Observing Ling Qingyu\'s stunned and quiet behavior, how could Tang Ziyi fail to see this bastard losing concentration and she swatted away the palm angrily.
Ling Qingyu woke up and stuttered. "Yes. Yes. You\'re right. But that isn\'t enough to give me confidence. They have guns, what do you have?
By the time you requested guns from Yang Qingyue, the situation was already over."
Tang Ziyi sighed in exaggeration and replied. "Oh! It appears I\'ll have to move out the secrets I want to hide."
Ling Qingyu was curious if her friend still hid something from her and remembered for once that Tang Ziyi always disappeared secretly, going into the underground chamber and tinkering with stuff.
"Speaking of hiding, you still won\'t tell me what you\'re doing in the secret realms in the past days. Is it related?" Ling Qingyu asked.
"Yes, of course, it\'s related." Tang Ziyi nodded and clicked a few buttons on her laptop, showing her the screen. "Look at these rifles."
Ling Qingyu\'s eyes were drawn to a variety of firearms images ranging from assault rifles, pistols, submachine guns and sniper rifles, even shotguns.
"What do you mean by showing these guns\' images." Ling Qingyu didn\'t get it, her intuition already understood what Tang Ziyi meant but she refused to believe this possibility.
"It means, we have these weapons already in the secret realm." Tang Ziyi admitted her deeds proudly.
"Come on. What are you proud of, huh? If not for Athena\'s existence, you couldn\'t produce these weapons." Ling Qingyu replied.
"No, I can produce the weapons myself, as long as I have the machine." Tang Ziyi shook her finger at Ling Qingyu. "It\'s just not as fast and as convenient as Athena does. The efficiency level completely reaches godhood."
"So, you\'ve been designing and building weapons underground in the past days?" Ling Qingyu asked, curious what was on Tang Ziyi\'s mind to produce firearms.
"It\'s just my hobby and you have no idea how many armories I used to have." Tang Ziyi replied nonchalantly.
"And you make my underground chamber, an armory?" Ling Qingyu\'s eyelids twitched.
"Stop giving me that face. Your ideas and future plans need this." Tang Ziyi said. "I\'m just preparing to support you anytime you desire."
Tang Ziyi\'s words caused Ling Qingyu to roll her eyes. It was like her friend saying: It\'s for your own good, not my personal interest.
Tang Ziyi added: "And that\'s not it. Here look at the equipment."
Ling Qingyu saw kevlar helmets of unknown military grades, kevlar body armor, kneepads, elbow pads, and other military average infantryman\'s inventories, even including night visions.
By seeing what Tang Ziyi showed, she realized perhaps the firearms\' equipment was also available. It was no mistake to call her guards if they equipped everything, a tier-one unit in terms of inventory available on their kit.
"You made all these within a short time frame? Tell me they\'re just blueprints." Ling Qingyu asked with a trembling voice.
"It\'s not just me alone."
"Athena! So, this is what you hide from your mother." Ling Qingyu gritted her teeth and asked her AI daughter.
"Okay, Sister Qingyu. Don\'t blame your daughter. I told her it was to help her mother\'s future."
"You!" Ling Qingyu pointed her finger at Tang Ziyi in anger. "You\'re teaching the wrong things to my child."
"Athena is also a child to me too." Tang Ziyi replied. "And it\'s not like you aren\'t there to guide her properly."
"Mom, it\'s not I want to hide but Aunt Tang said, it\'s for your own good." Athena\'s squeaky voice came in from her spectacles.
Hearing her daughter\'s voice, Ling Qingyu\'s anger dissipated. She couldn\'t bear to scold her. "Alright, the next time you do something, you have to tell your mother, okay?"
"Yes, Mom." Athena sounded happy. "Isn\'t Mom angry with Athena anymore?"
"Nope. Just don\'t trust your Aunt Tang too much." Ling Qingyu gave Tang Ziyi a side glance as she said.
"Hey! Hey! Athena, don\'t listen to her words. Your mother is just expressing her anger." Tang Ziyi interrupted. Where would she cry if she lost the opportunity to design and build her hobby?
Ling Qingyu said nothing because she understood Tang Ziyi knew the proportion and cared for Athena\'s growth too. Among the three, Tang Ziyi comprehended the most about Athena\'s situation.
"Is that all you hid these days?" Ling Qingyu asked Tang Ziyi.
"Of course not," Tang Ziyi transformed the laptop into a tablet and showed her the screen. "Look at these beasts here."
Ling Qingyu stared at the screen, wide-eyed, her jaw almost dropping. On the screen, Ling Qingyu saw, a big military armor vehicle, similar to the HuNovelFireee but larger than Ling Qingyu had known before.
Tang Ziyi laughed happily and introduced the vehicles happily. From Tang Ziyi\'s explanation, Ling Qingyu knew the vehicle type—MRAP—Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected.
