Chapter 825: There Is No Time!
‘Since they are in Base 013, they must adhere to the rules of the base.’ The head of the logistics department thought. He raised the communicator in his hand and said, “I’ve already recorded your actions just now and sent them to the mainframe of the base. I hope that you will not continue your wrongdoings.”
“What if I insist?” Qi Long smiled. Anyone who was close to Qi Long would know that whenever he smiled like this, it meant that he was on the brink of exploding in anger.
“Then, I’ll have to punish you in place of your regiment commander.” The head of the logistics department waved his hand and soldiers on duty opened the safety catch of their guns.
“Get down!” A deafening shout suddenly rang through the air. The fully armed soldiers all dropped down together and their beam guns slid out of their hands. Their faces could be seen all scrunched up in agony as an invisible force was seemingly pinning them to the ground. No matter how hard they struggle, they were unable to break free.“How dare you raise your guns at your own countrymen. Your actions infuriated me!” Qi Long’s humble face was laced with anger. No one would think that he was a good man now.
“Go and…” Before he could finish his sentence, a stern-looking major held his hand and said calmly, “Let it go. We are here to get supplies, not to kill.”
Their Boss would not be angry if they stained their hands with the blood of these trashes. Although they would not get into trouble for killing them due to their Boss’s background and capabilities. But, Han Jijyun still didn’t want to trouble Ling Lan too much, as they were at the frontline where situations were complex, so it was better to keep things simple.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. However, he still has to be punished.” Qi Long snorted and the head of the logistics department vomited a mouthful of blood before collapsing on the ground.
Qi Long watched on as he slammed forcefully onto the hard ground. After that, he restrained his anger and resumed his innocent expression.
After dealing with the pieces of trash that were blocking their way, Han Jijyun reported what had happened to Ling Lan. He needed his Boss to delete those videos the head of the logistics department had recorded. They were able to act without worry because they had a powerful hacker backing them up, their Boss. He was able to clear all evidence of their ‘crime’. (Somewhere, Little Four cried out. ‘It’s me! It’s me! Don’t ignore me! I’m the number one sidekick of Boss Lan!’) If the head of the logistics department wanted to complain against them, there would be no evidence.
Han Jijyun felt that based on his Boss’s cunningness, he might even create a fake video that showed the head of the logistics department making a mistake. If the head of the logistics department was sensible enough to complain about them, he might be able to protect his position. If not…Han Jijyun smiled. He was destroying his own future.
“I understand. Go and take our supplies from the warehouse. Everything is settled there,” Ling Lan replied indifferently after she heard Han Jijyun’s report.
Han Jijyun understood that their Boss must have deciphered the passcode of the warehouse. He whispered what their Boss said to Qi Long.
Qi Long got excited and immediately brought his men to the warehouse. He grabbed many helpers along the way because he wanted to bring back as many supplies as he could. This time, they caught the other party off guard, as they were able to get their supplies without creating a huge scene. Next time, however, it wouldn’t be so simple. Hence, they needed to take as they possibly could.
Han Jijyun watched Qi Long with a smile as he left for the warehouse. He turned his gaze to Yan Three and gave him a meaningful smile. It was not a coincidence that they brought Yan Three along, he had planned it intentionally. At first, he didn’t pay much attention to Yan Three but he coincidentally realized that whenever Qi Long changed his attire, Yan Three would ignore him as though he had not seen Qi Long before. He thought that Yan Three did it on purpose because he didn’t like them. However, he realized that this was not true.
Once, Han Jijyun was chosen to help out at the medical department. That time, however, there was no extra medic uniform so he wore Qi Long’s uniform. Surprisingly, Yan Three came to thank him sincerely because he had helped one of his team members on the first day of training. On that day, his team member’s heart suddenly stopped, and Qi Long was the one who injected a shot of heart tonic decisively, saving his team member. Yan Three was so focused on his team member’s condition that he didn’t realize Qi Long had left. He wanted to thank Qi Long the next day but Qi Long didn’t come. (Qi Long’s work as a medic had ended. Even if he appeared again, he would be in different attire. Yan Three wouldn’t still be able to recognize him.)
After that event, Han Jijyun started suspecting that Yan Three only recognized uniforms. However, that was not the case, as he noticed that Yan Three was still able to recognize his team members after they changed into 250 Ace Mecha Clan’s uniform. Thus, Han Jijyun thought that it might have something to do with how familiar Yan Three was with the person. If Yan Three met the person for the first time, he would only remember the uniform of the person and not the face. As he interacted more with the person, he would slowly remember the face. Of course, there was one criterion for that to occur: The person must keep changing his or her clothes.
Another reason why Yan Three didn’t make a mistake in identifying a person was that he could remember a person’s force of presence and stage of his physical skills. To test Yan Three, he would always restraint his force of presence with the method their Boss had taught them. No one was able to distinguish his stage when he used that method. One day, he purposely didn’t restrain his force of presence in front of Yan Three. As expected, Yan Three was confused. Yan Three didn’t say anything but Han Jijyun could see the puzzlement in his eyes.
Han Jijyun quickly told Qi Long that he could restrain his force of presence to fool Yan Three. Today, he and Qi Long changed their attire, and Yan Three didn’t recognize them anymore. ‘What an interesting person. Brother Shiyu will be very interested in him.’ Han Jijyun decided to report his findings to Li Shiyu.
While Han Jijyun was concocting up some devilish ideas, Yan Three was working hard, grabbing as many supplies as he could for 250 Ace Mecha Clan, unaware that a crazy researcher looking for him soon. Yan Three didn’t even have the idea to grab fewer supplies because he didn’t like 250 Ace Mecha Clan. He knew that the more he grabbed, the more enemies the mecha operators of 250 Mecha Clan could kill, increasing the chance of survival of everyone in the base. This was enough for him to put in effort and grab as many supplies as he could.
The other members of Evil Wind were doing the same too. Qi Long and Han Jijyun smiled when they saw this scene. They finally understood why their Boss forcefully integrated Evil Wind into their mecha clan. They were weaker in terms of ability but their character was good. This quality was enough for them to enter their mecha clan.
Ling Lan turned off her communicator and closed her eyes to ponder over something.
Little Four had broken through the firewall of Hailiya’s virtual world. He secretly entered their virtual world and realized all the enemy’s mecha clans at the frontline were all busy with something. It was obvious that they were preparing for a huge battle that was going to occur soon. Unfortunately, to prevent the plan from being leaked, all the orders were written on paper documents. The commanding officers at the various bases destroyed the document once they read it. Therefore, Little Four had no time to find other ways of getting the plan. However, their actions proved that there was a huge scheme.
“There is no time!” Ling Lan wanted to be more tactful when she removed Du Mingyi but Hailiya didn’t give her the time to do it. Ling Lan opened her eyes suddenly and killing intent ooze out her eyes.
“In that case, let me become a real tyrant.” She would not let her friends and those mecha operators who trusted her, as well as those logisticians that would stay back at the base, to fall into the hands of a narrow-minded person like Du Mingyi. She wanted a base that she could place her on trust completely.
