they were going to take the fire escape again.
In the darkness, the silhouettes of seven people with various lighting equipment moved downward through the dark fire escape in a 2-3-2 formation.
Captain Lingtong and a fully armed burly military officer were in front, Wang Jixuan, Zhou Zhengde, and that female officer in the middle, with Zheng Shiduo and another burly man covering the rear.

Zhou Zhengde wore a lightweight trigger-activated protective suit. The movements of his joints were unhindered, and his skeletal muscles were wrapped in a thin layer of composite material, making him look bloated by two sizes.
