"DENNGGGGGGG, DENNNGGGGGGGG" That long awaited light bulb finally blinked and sounds were blaring as they were discussing another possible route to run if they were surrounded. If not for the expertise of Lee An and Xue Ping, they would not have considered that many alternatives to their initial plan.
"Yo Pandawans, you guys are up next." A harsh voice could be heard through the metal doors when the light bulb above it remained lit and the alarm had waned. It was then the figure who talked, opened their doors and revealed himself to be Captain Hei.
"Since you are going into such a high risk territory as well as spending money to be in the priority first wave, Boss Jin wanted me to inform you that you will receive assistance for the first five minutes as well as during the paradrop." Captain Hei said as he shook his shoulders a little to release the slight itch of the battle combat vest that he was wearing. The rest of the group were happy to see him as he was a familiar friend and teammate that they could rely on easily.
However, Captain Hei was still strict with his words even though he was merely an NPC. "What are you guys waiting for? Get dressed for the fight!" Captain Hei yelled and bang the door twice, causing everyone to instinctively reply with a 'Yes captain!' while scuffling to their own rooms to get any gear that came to mind at the very last minute.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Or else we will fly over the drop zone and you losers will end up fighting boring maggots!" Captain Hei clapped his paws to spur them on to take their things. Although they were not military trained, Captain Hei was imposing those restrictions mainly because their plane was approaching the edge of the Merchants District.
Technically, they could always just fly one more round to accommodate the Pandawans but Jin had insisted that all the cultivators should be treated equally (even though some paid for the priority ticket such as the Pandawan Team.) It was also to ensure that the planes would keep to their schedules as they still needed to return to pick up the other teams. That way there would be a steady flow of reinforcements to keep the Mafia groups pressured.
"Shi Zuo, let's get going or else Captain Hei is going to leave you behind!" Luo Bo yelled at the door as she made sure that her parachute vest was fastened properly before walking to the unloading bay door.
"Coming! Comingggg!" Shi Zuo called back as he quickly uploaded the details of the plan that the police officers duo had suggested into his Pandamonium App which would later be transmitted to the half mask visors within their team. This latest minor feature was quite impressive in Shi Zuo's opinion. For a supposed store app to be as versatile as this, Shi Zuo had slowly begun to treat Pandamonium as a companion app that was an integral part of Dungeons and Pandas.
Ironically, he had considered it to be quite redundant at first, thinking of it as just another store forcing their sub-par product on their customers, craving to gain some digital presence. He had downloaded it back then simply because it had been a requirement, but boy did he quickly change his mind.
As the store grew within the few months since its inception, it had proven itself to be very responsive with little to no bugs despite Shi Zuo's pet peeve (or rather work compulsion) to try to break it down consistently. In fact, the few bugs he had encountered had been quickly corrected within a day without any need for reporting.
For an app to be this robust could only mean that Jin must have a highly sophisticated tech support. Since Shi Zuo had been there since week one of the store's opening, he suspected that one of Jin's friends or colleagues had to be a powerhouse not to be trifled with and he would love to meet the one in charge…
Yet none of that mattered at that moment, since Luo Bo was shouting rather angrily for her boyfriend to stop dilly dallying.
"Go, Go, Go!" Captain Hei said as he started ushering people out of the plane, never giving any of the Pandawans the chance to catch their breath. The police officers had been the first to pretty much get booted off the plane, as they were trained in combat. (Though that did not mean they were well versed with being kicked out from the plane!)
Luo Bo could not wait for Shi Zuo any longer as she took a bow gun out from her storage ring and used a rope arrow to bind Shi Zuo. Thankfully, there were no piercing arrow claws onto the rope arrow this time around but rather, a glue-like web that sticks to Shi Zuo's hand temporarily.
Infused with her chi, she shamelessly pulled Shi Zuo towards her through the corridor and to the end of the plane despite the onlookers peeking through their main rooms to see how Captain Hei treated the Pandawan ruthlessly. (Some even thought that they were like playthings to the Panda Captain!)
And in order not to be late from the jump and with Hei already ensuring they had used up the maximum amount of delay, Luo Bo was picked up by him and being thrown out of the plane. But ruthless as he may be, it was also one of the reasons why Captain Hei hurried the rest to jump off first so that he could buy Luo Bo and Shi Zuo enough time before jumping out.
Shi Zuo screamed like a little girl, but otherwise maintained most of his focus in adjusting the last few options in the Pandamonium App to ensure the plans and markers would get uploaded. In the meantime, Luo Bo pulled him closer knowing that he would be too busy minding his own business. Captain Hei was also right beside them and transmitting information to the rest of Team Pandawan.
From above, the city beneath looked extremely vast and sophisticated with the number of low rise buildings. But for now, they seemed to be undetected as they realised that the C130s that brought them here had been covered with either a high tech camouflage capability or a magic spell that enabled stealth.
As such, once they landed they would still have the element of surprise on their side!
