Yang Mingzhi felt touched by the gesture. He knew that as someone who entered halfway in, Ling Lan"s comrades wouldn"t trust him completely. It was normal for people to believe someone close to them. Some people might even suppress others in order to allow their confidants to gain a higher position.

However, Ling Lan wasn"t like this. He would help him to protect his position in front of the 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Like just now, Ling Lan didn"t ask Li Lanfeng about the situation in 250 Ace Mecha Clan, instead she chose to ask him first. This was a form of protection and trust.

Yang Mingzhi was an experienced and smart soldier. He managed to calm down quickly and replied in a serious tone, "Regiment commander, we have been following your training regimens without fail."

"Leader Yang, you must catch up with the times." Ling Lan looked at the veteran soldiers. These veteran mecha operators had regained their past strength. Some were even more powerful than they used to be. How was this intensity of training enough to push them?

Huh? Wasn"t he going to talk about the new mecha operators? Why did their regiment commander suddenly talk about them? The veteran soldiers looked at the cold gaze of the regiment commander and shivered in fear. They could almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Everyone knew that Ling Lan was going to punish them for what had happened just now. The veteran soldiers also partic.i.p.ated in the gang fight so none of them were able to escape.

"Well, since you have the energy to fight, it means that the training is not tough enough." Ling Lan smiled coldly. "From now on, you"ll double your training every day."

"Double?"

"We"re dead."

"Help, I don"t want to do it."

"Regiment commander, please spare us."

Everyone started groaning and pleading their regiment commander. Unfortunately, Ling Lan was heartless.

"Three times!" Ling Lan"s cold voice entered everyone"s ears again.

"No!"

"We can"t do it."

"We"ll die."

"Four times." Ling Lan didn"t change her expression as she increased the intensity of the training again.

"F**K!" Qi Long finally regained his senses. He jumped up quickly and shouted, "Team 03, gather!"

If he continued to keep quiet, the intensity would continue increasing. Qi Long knew that if there were any more objections, their boss would increase the intensity to five times or six times. If that happened, they would really be dead.

The other team leaders reacted quickly and gathered their teams too. Four times sounded like a lot but with their ability now, and with the help of Li Shiyu"s agent, there was still some hope of completing it.

If they reacted slower, it would really be hopeless.

Soon, all the mecha operators left with their leaders. If they didn"t start their training now, they wouldn"t be able to complete four times the training before midnight.

The cafeteria got emptier. Many logisticians shrunk back in fear as they tried to make themselves invisible. They were afraid that they would alert their regiment commander and he would punish them too.

By now, everyone knew that their regiment commander was very angry about the gang fight. He was really really angry. They had spurred the mecha operators to start fighting too so they weren"t innocent.

The new mecha operators looked at Ling Lan with fear and curiosity in their eyes. They didn"t know why he didn"t take care of them first, but instead he punished the veteran soldiers first. Was he afraid of the factions behind them? If that was the case, it was good news.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they noticed that Ling Lan was looking at them with dead eyes. She knocked her whip on her left palm light, seemingly contemplating something.

Suddenly, she looked up and shouted, "Shiyu!"

A young man wearing a white gown over his military uniform replied with a smile, "Regiment commander, what"s your order?"

"Do you still need people for your experiments?" Ling Lan replied calmly.

Li Shiyu had always terrified people even Ling Lan sometimes. He quickly answered without any hesitation, "The last batch has been used too many times. It"s good to have fresh people to experiment with."

Li Shiyu didn"t just cooperate with Ling Lan verbally. He even went forward and squatted beside a new mecha operator. He put on some surgical gloves and started pressing the mecha operator"s neck. Then, he grabbed the mecha operator"s arm and squeezed it before giving a satisfied smile.

He stood up and walked back to Ling Lan as he took off his gloves. When he walked pa.s.sed a rubbish bin, he threw the gloves inside.

He came beside Ling Lan and said, "These people are muscular and energetic. Not bad. They can last for a while."

The logisticians at the side suddenly remembered a rumor they heard regarding the head of the medical department. He was able to remain in his position and control the entire medical department because he was using humans for his experiments to satisfy regiment commander"s s.a.d.i.s.tic urges.

So, the rumor was true! At first, no one believed it. Head Li had a gentle smile and a gentle aura around him. He didn"t look like someone who would do this. But after seeing his actions, you really can"t judge a book by its cover.

The logisticians looked at Li Shiyu in fear. That gentle smile seemed like the smile of a devil now.

The new mecha operators saw the fearful expressions of the logisticians so they started shivering too.

Were they going to die during experiments instead of dying on the battlefield?

"This is illegal." One of the mecha operators couldn"t control his fear and started shouting.

Ling Lan glanced at him. The mecha operator suddenly felt something banging his head. He lost consciousness.

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, go and die!" A few people among the crowd suddenly jumped up and charged at Ling Lan furiously. One of them was Zhou Yongnan.

"Get down!" Ling Lan pushed her hand down. The people in mid-air slammed onto the ground vertically.

The hard ground cracked. The cracks looked like a series of spiderwebs. The ground only stopped cracking when it was one meter away from the bodies of these people.

"I was wondering how long you can keep quiet." Ling Lan smiled coldly. "It seems like I have overestimated you."
