The flash of light behind the building flickered again as Chu Miao and Chu Hao stepped onto the expanded veranda.
The restriction barrier shimmered softly around the area as they stepped into it preventing accidental activation.
The teleportation arrays glowed faintly beneath their feet, spiritual lines embedded into the concrete glowing like veins under the skin.
A small group was already gathered at the side. Combat team members were busy making final preparations before stepping into the array. Some were fastening gloves, or tightening boots, while others were adjusting weapons.
Some carried cold weapons; others had awakened abilities flickering faintly around their bodies.
Yang Leo stood to the side, holding a ledger.
"Names have been registered. Teams have been assigned and flares distributed," he reported when he saw Chu Miao approaching. "Six-hour shifts for array guards have been arranged as well."
