It Is Not Easy To Be A Man After Travelling To The Future

Chapter 871

"Regiment commander, there is movement."

"Hide!" The instant the order was given, the bunch of mechas flying quickly in the air instantly disappeared from the air. They seemed to have practice this many times.

A group of patrolling mechas from the Hailiyan army could be seen flying towards their direction from afar, but since the mechas from the Federation hid well, nothing suspicious was discovered by the patrolling mechas. The patrolling mechas just did a routine search around the area and left.

When the patrolling mechas disappeared, a relieved voice sounded on the team channel. "Mecha operators in 250 Ace Mecha Clan have amazing battle skills and their equipment is impressive too. Their radar"s range is wider than any special radar system made by the Federation. Furthermore, due to the signal interference on the radar, we were able to discover our enemy but they couldn"t detect us."

Song Yiqing felt complicated. He didn"t know how he should feel towards 250 Ace Mecha Clan and their regiment commander. He should hate them but…

Song Yiqing remembered what had happened yesterday night.

Just like any normal day on Planet Haijiao for the past few weeks, he was calculating the number of casualties in his clan for the day. As the battle got harder, even young masters like him were also sent to the battlefield by Ling Lan to help distract their opponents.

Song Yiqing finally understood what his grandfather meant when he said that he would truly grow up after experiencing the battlefield. He thought that during the past year of him being on the battlefield, he had already experienced everything he could on the battlefield. Now, he knew that what he experienced in the past didn"t amount to anything at all. It was all because Du Mingyi was not as bold as Ling Lan. Ling Lan was willing to send Song Yiqing to the most dangerous place while Du Mingyi only let them out to clean the stage after they won a battle. They were essentially there to be the janitors of the battlefield, there to just kill some half-dead bugs to claim some merits.

After days and days of the war, Song Yiqing"s thoughts of fighting for power diminished slowly. He finally comprehended the responsibility of being a regiment commander. It was not to win nor to gain honor. It was to ensure that his team members had the highest chance of staying alive.

Song Yiqing looked at the number of casualties today, his heart felt bitter. Although the people in his mecha clan were all people with special backgrounds who were timid, like to hide, and always ran away after firing one shot, he had been living with them for many years. He didn"t feel too good when he saw the people he was familiar with leaving him one by one.

Suddenly, he felt the air turning cold in the office. He looked up immediately and saw a person with a cold aura sitting on the sofa in his office. The person was crossing his arms and was looking at Song Yiqing coldly.


"Regiment Commander Ling!" Song Yiqing gritted his teeth. "He is a domain realm master so he always likes to appear so suddenly to scare him. This is infuriating."

"Regiment Commander Song, are you done with your work for the day?"Ling Lan put her feet down and stood up calmly.

Song Yiqing threw the pen in his hand on the table and leaned back in his chair. He said angrily, "Regiment Commander Ling, why did you come to visit my 224 Mecha Clan?" He had a grudge against Ling Lan, so they usually wouldn"t interact with each other unless they had something to discuss. Hence, Ling Lan must have something important to tell him when she visited him in the middle of the night.

"There is no food and water left in the base." Ling Lan went straight to the point.

"I know. Everyone"s water supply is reduced recently and the amount of food distributed is also halved. Something must have happened." Song Yiqing was not stupid. When the amount of food and water supply changed, he knew that the situation in the base was getting worse.

"So, we must s.n.a.t.c.h food and water from our enemy"s base," Ling Lan told him her decision.

"Are you crazy!" Song Yiqing was dumbstruck. He sprung up. "d.a.m.n it, does this person thinks that the enemy"s bases belong to him? Does he think that he can just walk in and take whatever he wants?"

"If I don"t become crazy, we will all die." Ling Lan replied indifferently, "And I don"t want to die. Thus, I decided to be crazy."

Song Yiqing"s expression changed. He couldn"t help but ask, "Have the commanding officers from the other three bases agreed?"

"They don"t want to die too." Ling Lan"s gaze turned sharp, seemingly able to slice through the air in front of her.

Song Yiqing got enlightened. If the other three commanding officers didn"t agree, Ling Lan would have used some vicious method to force them to agree.

He dabbed his face uncontrollably with a small napkin and helplessly said, "Since you want to become crazy, do it then. Why bother telling me…" Song Yiqing suddenly realized something. His face turned pale. He pointed at Ling Lan then pointed at himself while he stammered, "You… you… want me…"

"That"s right! I want you to go crazy with me!" Ling Lan calmly announced Song Yiqing"s "death sentence".

"I"m not going. That"s the same as seeking for death!" Song Yiqing shouted angrily.

"Not going?" Ling Lan glanced at Song Yiqing. "This fellow always like to avert from risk."

The growing malicious intent in Ling Lan"s eyes made Song Yiqing"s heart drop. "Will this G.o.d of Death kill him if he didn"t agree?"

"Ling Lan, the Second Marshal is my grandfather," Song Yiqing shouted, trying to remind Ling Lan that his grandfather would not let him off if he killed him.

"Stop shouting. No one can hear you. Have you forgotten that you are in my domain?" Ling Lan was speechless as she looked at Song Yiqing. "She isn"t planning to do anything to him. Does he have to look like a lady that was being bullied by a hooligan? Why is he so frightened?"

"If I want you to die, I won"t leave any traces behind! You"ll die quietly!" That was what Song Yiqing thought Ling Lan meant by her words. Song Yiqing suddenly felt a chill down his spine, ever since he met this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Ling Lan, his image of this world had collapsed around him.

"What do you want me to do?" Song Yiqing finally knew that he had no choice but to do Ling Lan orders him to do. He slapped his face and forced himself to regain his composure.

"Help transport food and water." These people were bad at fighting but they were very good at running away and hiding. If that wasn"t the case, Ling Lan wouldn"t have chosen them.

Ling Lan didn"t like to use a single criterion to determine whether a soldier was good or not. She always felt that as long as a person performed to his advantage well, he would be an outstanding soldier even if he didn"t have many merits. She used this mindset when a.s.signing work to her logisticians. Now, she was doing the same to 224 Mecha Clan.

224 Mecha Clan were not good at fighting. But, s.n.a.t.c.hing supplies required good hiding skills and the instinct to know when one should run away. This mecha clan was the most suitable mecha clan for this mission.

"You are taking us away from the battlefield?" Song Yiqing stood up straight.

Ling Lan just scoffed at his outburst. Song Yiqing"s face turned red. "Fine, my mecha clan was not good at fighting. They would be a burden to other people."

"After we attacked the base, you"ll be in charge of moving the supplies. After that, don"t care about anything behind you and rush back to the base. The other mecha clans will stop the enemies for you." Since she planned to let Song Yiqing bring his mecha clan out, she must tell him about her plans to clear him of his worries.
