Chapter 908 One Person!
In the orbit of Planet Haijiao, Qi Yaoyang finally broke through the defense of the Hailiyan army and reached to the position on top of Base 013. The starship hovered above Base 013 and many ace mechas started getting ejected out of the starship.
The huge amount of reinforcements allowed the Hailiyan army to realize that their plan had failed. They lost to a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha that shouldn"t appear on Planet Haijiao. That G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha allowed Base 013 to survive until the arrival of the reinforcements.
When the command center of the military on Planet Haijiao received news that their starships didn"t manage to stop Qi Yaoyang, they knew that they had failed. They sounded the alarm and ordered all the Hailiyan soldiers to return to their base to wait for the new command.
To fight off all the Hailiyan soldiers, the mecha operators from the Flying Dragon Special Forces had to fight for two hours. They were all exhausted in the end.
They were welcomed with great fervour when they walked into Base 013. After all, if the Flying Dragon Special Forces didn"t arrive in time, Base 013 wouldn"t be able to still stand. Base 013 wasn"t able to attend to Qi Yaoyang"s army but they were still able to squeeze out a camp for the Flying Dragon Special Forces. Of course, the people at Base 013 didn"t want to admit that they did this because they were extremely curious about the Flying Dragon Special Forces.
The Flying Dragon Special Forces thought that the logisticians and JMCs of a small base on a small planet like this were definitely not as efficient as their personal logisticians and JMC. However, to their surprise, they were as efficient as the logisticians from the Flying Dragon Special Forces. They were even faster in certain areas of work.

After the people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces changed into the normal military attire provided by Base 013, they went into the base. They experienced a different kind of atmosphere in the base. Firstly, the mainframe of Base 013 was very advanced. Its ability was on par with the mainframe of the Flying Dragon Special Forces which had undergone many generations of modification by the Brain team. Before the people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces could open their mouths, it gave them the map of the base and even welcomed them into Base 013.
All the various districts in the base were segregated clearly on the map. They knew exactly where they needed to go if they wanted to get certain things.
They came to the living district and saw many soldiers on duty. The logisticians from various departments were doing their jobs. Everything was in order. Everyone had a calm expression. They didn"t seem elated that they managed to survive. It didn"t look like a base that almost got ruined after more than 20 days of fighting.
What the people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces couldn"t get used to was the looks from the logisticians. They seemed curious about them but their eyes were not filled with admiration. Those indifferent stares made them feel as though their Flying Dragon Special Forces was just a normal mecha clan.
"Is it because we haven"t been out for a while so people have forgotten about us?" Someone finally voiced out his concern.
"Hmph, do you think that you"re a superstar?" The commander of this mission, Jiao One, gave that person a glare.
A young major walked up and scanned the people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces. After a while, he found his target and walked towards Jiao One. He saluted and smiled. "h.e.l.lo, Senior Colonel Jiao. I"m the head of the logistics department on Base 013. Your place of residence is ready. Please follow me."
Jiao One saluted back and replied calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, major." This major was young but he still recognized his status with one look.
The major guided Jiao One to a certain direction. During the journey to their destination, he always walked half a step behind Jiao One and when there was a need to change directions, he would remind Jiao One before Jiao one could even ask. This kind of thoughtful service caused Jiao One to have an extremely good impression of this major. Finally, they reached the prepared place of residence of the Flying Dragon Special Forces. The major gave an apologetic look. "Senior Colonel Jiao, there are currently too many people in the base so we"re only able to squeeze a small s.p.a.ce for you. Please accept my apology."
"No, we"re already satisfied to have such a comfortable place to rest after the battle." Jiao One knew how difficult it was for Base 013 to give them this camp. On his way here, he noticed that almost all the camps were packed with people.
Jiao One entered the camp and noticed that everything was very clean. It didn"t seem like they had cleaned it on short notice. They must have been cleaning this place up daily. It seemed like from the start, Base 013 believed that they wouldn"t be defeated.
Jiao One saw the major leaving so he shouted hurriedly, "Major, I would like to meet your commanding officer. Can you arrange for that to happen?"
The major"s smile froze when he heard this. His smile slowly disappeared and he revealed a sad expression. "I"m sorry, Senior Colonel Jiao. Our commanding officer is heavily injured so he is still in the emergency room."
"Ah!" Jiao One was shocked. "Shouldn"t the commanding officer of a base remain in the confines of the base? Why is he injured?"
"Am I able to meet the mecha operator who operated the G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha?" Jiao One wanted to know if Ling Xiao"s son was the one operating the G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha or did Ling Xiao make other arrangements.
The major didn"t reply. He only shook his head.
"What about the regiment commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, Regiment Commander Ling?" Jiao One changed his way of asking.
The major continued shaking his head.
The short-tempered Jiao Six saw this and got irritated. "Why aren"t you allowing our leader to meet anyone?"
The major glanced at him calmly and replied, "Because he is talking about the same person."
Everyone from the Flying Dragon Special Forces was dumbfounded by the reply. They had guessed that the person who operated the G.o.d-cla.s.s operator was Ling Lan but they didn"t predict that she was the commanding officer of the base too.
"Will he be fine?" Xu Thirteen felt sympathetic towards Ling Lan"s condition so he asked in concern.
"Our commanding officer will definitely be fine," the major replied firmly.
"That"s true. That"s true." The members of the Flying Dragon Special Forces nodded awkwardly. They, of course, didn"t hope that anything would happen to the hero who used his life to protect this base.
The major bidded farewell to the people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces. Once the major left, everyone pounced on Xu Thirteen and beat him up. "d.a.m.n it, do you know how to talk? We are in other people"s territory."
Mu Chaoran stood behind everyone. He suddenly sensed something and looked at the entrance of the camp. His expression instantly changed and he rushed out at his greatest speed.
Tang Ningyu, who stood beside him, got a shock. He turned around and just like Mu Chaoran, his expression changed. However, he still remembered to inform the person beside him before dashing out madly.
Lin Zhong-qing came to the entrance of the camp and saw a ball of white jumping towards him frantically.
Lin Zhong-qing hugged it. He saw tears in Little White"s eyes as it screeched pitifully.
"What"s wrong?" Lin Zhong-qing asked it curiously.
Little White continued howling. Unfortunately, Lin Zhong-qing couldn"t understand what Little White was trying to say.
