At midnight, Cheng Ziang and Baiyue officially set off. They wore dark cloaks to completely hide their figures.
Helros was under curfew regulations, so neither locals nor visitors were allowed to be active on the streets at night. The best troops from the army guarded Helros, the City Defense Mobile Regime. These exceptionally equipped soldiers were a force to reckon with; if they were to catch anyone, even the strictly-trained reconnaissance soldiers of the Advance Team would have to surrender.
Thus, the two had to proceed with the utmost caution. With this thought in mind, they carefully navigated the city streets. The curfew, in turn, provided some convenience—so long as they avoided the City Defense Mobile Regiment soldiers, they were unlikely to be spotted by anyone else.
In their dark cloaks, they moved through alleyways like ghosts wandering in the night. Before the mission, they had memorized a detailed map of Helros, ensuring they wouldn't get lost while on task.
