Then all my cultivation as an immortal has been for nothing?

Chapter 50 Preparations for the Attack
As soon as the team members entered the preparation room, they went straight to the vending machines on the left and right sides. Soon, the long table in the middle of the preparation room was filled with various weapons.

In front of Lin Weiwei were a Barrett anti-materiel rifle, a Type 171 submachine gun, and a Beretta 93R pistol.

She laid out the magazines of the three firearms in front of her and loaded them one by one with a loader, while the body armor, ammunition hangers, and weapon belts were placed aside.

She was wearing the company's standard combat uniform she had just changed into. The slightly loose uniform concealed her body's curves, but her long hair, styled in a high ponytail, still exuded that damn girlish charm.

Chen Dongdong picked up a small Walther PPK. The equipment in front of her was minimal, consisting of only four Walther PPK magazines, a body armor vest, and a magazine pouch.

Her combat uniform fit better than Lin Weiwei's, perfectly outlining the girl's stick-thin figure.

Zhang Xin was fiddling with a Russian-made PKM machine gun. His secondary weapon was an MP5 submachine gun, and he was not carrying a pistol.

Guo Changshou—who is also known as Viper Uncle—uses a domestically produced precision marksman rifle, and his secondary weapon is also a Type 171 submachine gun, while his pistol is a domestically produced Type 92.

It seems the man is a fan of domestically produced weapons.

As for Wang Yi, he had prepared two G18C rifles with a total of six magazines, and was currently loading them with a worried expression.

Elsa: "I've brought you the bulletproof vest. You now have a strength of 1.3, so you can wear the bulletproof vest that was specially reinforced for monks."

"Oh, okay." Wang Yi looked up at the bulletproof vest that Elsa had placed in front of him, and then at the super-heavy bulletproof vest with bulletproof plates five centimeters thick in front of the God of Wealth across the table.

Zhang Xin: "My strength is several times that of yours, which is why I can wear this kind of bulletproof vest and use a heavy machine gun. But don't be discouraged. Even with basic elixirs, your body's various stats will skyrocket after injection."

Wang Yi was more concerned with something else: "Did you inject yourself with a basic elixir?"

Zhang Xin: "Old Guo and I are both basic. The team captain is a prodigy; her master, a True Immortal, gave her points and exchanged them for the Cloud-Stepping Powder..."

"Say less, God of Wealth." Lin Weiwei raised her head and glanced at Zhang Xin. "I explicitly refused Master's suggestion, but Dongdong persuaded me."

Wang Yi: "So you knew Chen Dongdong before you advanced to the mid-stage of Qi Refining?"

“We were new students in the same class,” Chen Dongdong said with a smile. “Everyone in the class thought I was a second-generation fairy and distanced themselves from me. Only Weiwei and I kept in touch.”

Lin Weiwei: "At that time, because of my status as a prodigy and my flamboyant personality, I was ostracized by my peers, so I sought out Dongdong for support."

"Oh, I see." Wang Yi nodded, his hands still loading ammunition.

Zhang Xin filled the last magazine with the ammunition belt, put the machine gun aside, and began loading the submachine gun. As he loaded, he said, "After Dongdong advances to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, he'll probably use his family's ancestral elixir, right?"

Chen Dongdong quickly shook his head: "No, when my ancestor was building his foundation, there was no such spiritual medicine system as we have now. Back then, the probability of failing to break through the bottleneck from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage of Qi Refining was very high."

"However, my family will probably use their connections to get me some high-grade elixirs."

Wang Yi clicked his tongue in amazement: "So that's how it is. All cultivators are equal, but some cultivators are even more equal than everyone else."

"Hey, the literary giant is spouting famous quotes again. Where did they come from this time?" Zhang Xin asked.

Lin Weiwei: "Animal Farm, George Orwell."

Zhang Xin: "Oh my, a literary giant has met a literary girl. I think you two are quite a good match."

Lin Weiwei rolled her eyes at Zhang Xin: "Can you stop making such a fuss like elementary school boys?"

"Sorry." Zhang Xin lowered his head again to load bullets.

By this time, Lao Guo had finished loading the bullets and began inspecting the firearm, disassembling it and applying oil to the key parts.

Lin Weiwei was about the same. She put down the Beretta's magazine, skillfully disassembled the pistol's slide, checked the condition of each part, and applied oil.

Wang Yi quickly followed suit, putting down the already loaded 33-round magazine and disassembling the pistol to perform pre-fire maintenance.

Soon, the loudspeaker on the wall announced: "Night Heron Squad, ten minutes until sortie."

Wang Yi: "When I saw the D-rank Nightingale team set off, they all used teleportation. Why are we taking a helicopter? Can't E-rank teams use teleportation?"

"It's because our current level isn't high enough for teleportation," Lin Weiwei said. "I only recently received the spiritual liquid injection. The other two are veterans, but they've been stuck at the E level for a long time. The psychology department believes their Dao hearts are unstable and has revoked their teleportation permits."

Can a transmission license be cancelled?

Zhang Xin glanced at Wang Yi and laughed, "Old Guo and I might turn into demonic cultivators at any time. When that happens, we'll all have to rely on you to be our hero and take Weiwei and Dongdong away."

Wow, even though you're joking, setting a flag like that can really get you killed.

Lin Weiwei: "There's no need for him to play the hero and save the damsel in distress."

Yes, on paper, it should be the damsel in distress saving the hero.

However, Lin Weiwei's next sentence surprised Wang Yi: "Isn't there a near-A-level senior like Elsa here?"

“That’s right,” Elsa patted her chest, “If anything unexpected happens, I’ll come to your rescue.” This was true; Elsa was very reliable in times of crisis.

However, Wang Yi thought of a question: "Where is your master?"

“Once you reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining, your master won’t follow you around like he did during your beginner stage,” Elsa said. “Even fledglings eventually have to leave the nest.”

Lin Weiwei: "It's like high school. Your homeroom teacher teaches you for three years, and then after the college entrance exam, they go and teach the next class."

The loudspeaker on the wall announced: "Night Heron Squad, five minutes until sortie. Please begin donning your gear. The helicopter will be arriving shortly."

Lin Weiwei put down her gun, put on her bulletproof vest, and then turned her back to Wang Yi: "Help me put on this bulletproof vest. You know how to put it on, right?"

"No, I haven't taken that course yet."

Chen Dongdong raised her hand: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

So the two girls started helping each other put on bulletproof vests and bulletproof harnesses.

Elsa glanced at Wang Yi sideways: "Coward! The girl has already made the request, and you chickened out."

“No,” Lin Weiwei said, “I just think we’re about the same height, so it would be easier for you to help than for Dongdong.”

Zhang Xin raised his hand: "I'm only a little taller than you, how about I help you?"

"go away!"

"Oh dear, I'm being treated differently! Is it because I haven't seen Animal Farm?"

Lin Weiwei: "Reading more books is never a bad thing."

Wang Yi didn't participate in the conversation; instead, he put on a bulletproof vest—it was heavier than he had imagined!
Elsa immediately guessed Wang Yi's thoughts: "Is this heavy? When you can hold a rifle, it will be even heavier with four full magazines. It's only because your main weapon is a pistol that you don't need to carry a magazine rack."

Wang Yi was about to respond to Elsa when he noticed that she had also put on a bulletproof vest and ammunition pouch, and was carrying a Type 191 Tenglong assault rifle.

"Why are you fully armed too?!"

"After all, I have to cover for you guys in case of unexpected situations. Since we're going to fight, it's more appropriate to be fully armed, right? Look at my 191. It's equipped with a specially modified gas system, so the recoil is several times that of the original rifle. It also uses armor-piercing rounds with added propellant that would seriously damage the barrel and shorten its lifespan. Pretty cool, huh?" Elsa explained her weapon, her tone like that of a military enthusiast.

Wang Yi actually thought this specially modified Tenglong rifle was really cool!
At this moment, Lin Weiwei suddenly came over, grabbed Wang Yi's shoulder and turned him 90 degrees so that he was facing away from her, and then began to help him adjust his bulletproof vest.

It's a good idea for a team leader to take care of newcomers, but Wang Yi was already thinking: Does she like me because she's taking such good care of me? Could it be that I used a few literary references before, which made her favor me?

Just then, he met Elsa's gaze.

Elsa had a look that said, "I know what kind of shit you're going to take just by sticking your butt out."

Wang Yi stopped grinning foolishly.

But he couldn't help but think, it's really hard to choose between the tsundere, arrogant little girl master and the serious captain who's even younger and full of girlish charm.

Elsa: "So you've decided to have it all?"

Wang Yi: "Stop using mind-reading on me!"

"You need mind reading to understand me? Besides, I've already told you, there's no such thing as mind reading in this world that doesn't destroy the soul and personality!"

Lin Weiwei: "I really envy the mutual trust that you two have built up. Outsiders can't understand what you're saying. I've prepared your bulletproof vest for you. During the operation, you'll follow Lao Guo—Viper—and provide support to the assault team."

Lin Weiwei then turned to everyone and said, "I have uploaded the battle plan to your tactical terminals. You can ask any questions on the plane. Now, check your watches."

Wang Yi quickly put the tactical terminal on his wrist and switched to the time adjustment interface.

"It's 15th minute now, ready, 12, go!"

Wang Yi pressed the button, and time began to tick.

Just then, the loudspeaker on the wall blared: "Time's up, get ready to go."

The preparation room opened onto the gate to the helipad, and the strong winds whipped up by the helicopter rotors rushed into the preparation room.

However, apart from the sound of the wind, the helicopter engine could not be heard at all, which means the noise reduction rune was quite effective.

Two helicopters were parked outside.

Lin Weiwei: "We'll board plane number one, with plane number two as a backup. Let's go!"
