"Let's switch places. Our position is exposed," Tang Ziyi suggested. "Though Athena has successfully interfered with their communications…"
She was cut off by Ling Qingyu. "Understood. We better move, then. I don't want to experience the thrill of so many projectiles whizzing past me."
"Oh, baby," Tang Ziyi smiled, causing her partner to get a lump in her throat. The way she addressed her heightened the tension even more.
Something must be amiss if Tang Ziyi suddenly turned warm and used honeyed words. Ling Qingyu had PTSD, and as expected.
"Fret not. We'll make sure our adventure is worth it. You'll smell fire, metal, and blood, and walk through everything with me," said Tang Ziyi.
"Please don't," Ling Qingyu begged, but Tang Ziyi raised her hand and listened to the communication channel.
Something serious must be going on, as Tang Ziyi immediately transformed her expression.
"Alright, seems like you have no choice," Tang Ziyi shrugged.
