Chapter 707: BT Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ling Lan was also not satisfied with her mecha operators.
They got too excited and walked into a bunch of creatures? Shouldn"t they be concerned about their own safety?
Why did that mecha operator who was adept at long-range attacks rushed to the frontline to fight the creatures in close combat ? Shouldn"t he fully utilize his strength? Don"t tell me that his beam gun ran out of energy. Before leaving their base, she asked all the mecha operators to bring ample energy storage units. A few minutes of shooting would not use up all the energy.
That mecha operator on the left. Even if you think that the mecha operator from the other division is a hindrance, don"t make it so obvious. How am I supposed to explain to the regiment commander of the other mecha clan, why you kicked his mecha operator away so forcefully? Don"t you know that I hate explaining things?
Also, who is that mecha operator beside him? Why is he giving a thumbs up to him? Is he implying that his comrade did the right thing by kicking the other mecha operator away? Didn"t you see that a bunch of mecha operators from the other division had run away from you? What a worrisome bunch of people. Can you all be a little more friendly?
"Lan"er, your team members are full of character," Ling Xiao laughed softly.
Daddy, are you joking? Don"t you see how anxious I am? Ling Lan stared at the old man who seemed to be having a good time and sighed.
"However, you brought them up well." Ling Xiao looked at his daughter proudly. These mecha operators who were given up by their divisions managed to stand up again under the guidance of his daughter. His daughter is so capable.
"Huh?" Ling Lan and Ling Xiao looked turned their heads simultaneously. They felt a spiritual fluctuation in the air. A message seemed to be sent through the air.
All the ant-like creatures suddenly retreated. Within a few seconds, none of them were left. Only the carca.s.ses of the creatures and those broken mechas remained on the battlefield.
"Search for survivors immediately." The regiment commander of Courage G.o.d didn"t continue to pursue their enemy. He chose to save the mecha operators instead. His mission was to rescue people, not to kill creatures.
Ling Lan didn"t order her team to pursue their opponents too. No one knew if the creatures were planning an ambush. Ling Lan only had 200 mecha operators partic.i.p.ating in this mission. Currently, she only had 60 mecha operators beside her. Compared to the other mecha clans who had more than 1000 members partic.i.p.ating in the mission, Ling Lan"s team was very small. Hence, every single member was important to her so she didn"t want anyone to die unnecessarily.
Close to a hundred mecha from Courage G.o.d were destroyed in this rescue mission. However, Ling Lan and her team arrived in the nick of time so only the first few mechas were bitten through by the creatures. They suddenly discovered inside those mechas still had signs of life. The regiment commander from Courage G.o.d was elated.
Mecha operators who joined the land clearing mission were all elites. As a regiment commander, he didn"t want any of his team"s elites to die.
"Regiment commander, Ah Li is in a bad condition." Someone suddenly called the regiment commander.
"Luo Qi is not going to make it too. Regiment commander, what should we do?"
Bad news kept coming in. The regiment commander felt his heart dropped. They had not built their base on this planet yet so they didn"t have a medical department to send the injured to. If they sent these injured mecha operators back to the starship, they might die before they reached the starships. Does he have to watch his soldiers die right in front of his eyes?
He wanted to call his team leaders for a discussion. Before he could, he saw the mechas from 250 Mecha Clan organizing themselves at the side. They didn"t partic.i.p.ate in searching for survivors but they didn"t hinder them.
The regiment commander remembered that 250 Mecha Clan was the first mecha clan to complete their temporary base. Although it was due to sheer luck… no. The regiment commander pushed this thought away. If he didn"t personally witness how strong 250 Mecha Clan was, he might still believe this rumor. However, now, he believed that it was due to a combination of luck and skills that they managed to build a base so quickly.
"May I know who is the leader of this rescue mission?" The regiment commander of Courage G.o.d asked them.
"Our regiment commander, Ling Lan." Qi Long pointed at Ling Lan proudly.
"Ah, I didn"t expect Regiment Commander Ling to lead this rescue mission personally. The 7th division would like to thank the 23rd division for your help." The regiment commander represented the 7th division and thanked the 23rd division. Everyone knew the 250 Mecha Clan acted so quickly because their superiors ordered them to. The regiment commander was grateful. Seems like General Ling Xiao have not forgotten the 7th division that groomed him. That was probably why the higher authorities of the 23rd division placed so much importance on the rescue mission, they acted instantly after they knew something bad had happened to the 7th division…
Thinking about this, the regiment commander scoffed. Those people who said General Ling Xiao had forgotten about the 7th division should take a look at what happened. When something happened to the 7th division, the only help provided was from General Ling Xiao"s 23rd division.
"There is no need to thank us. We belonged to the same Federation. It is only right for us to help you," Ling Lan replied indifferently. Since they all belonged to the Federation and the location of the attack was near her base, she was willing to lend a helping hand.
Ling Lan"s words caused the regiment commander of Courage G.o.d to confirm his hypothesis about General Ling Xiao. General Ling Xiao left the 7th division because there was no position left for him after he came back. Hence, he had no choice but to form his own division.
The regiment commander felt bitter. If the division left General Ling Xiao"s position empty, the General of the 7th division might have been Ling Xiao now…
This thought only flashed past his mind. He quickly controlled his emotions and made a request to Ling Lan, "Regiment Commander Ling, during the battle, some of my mecha operators were seriously injured. Could you let them enter your base and get treated there…"
The regiment commander thought of something and his expression changed. "Is there a medical department in your base?" Only master-level mecha clans had a medical department and medics. If he remembered correctly, 250 Mecha Clan was just a normal mecha clan.
"We have a medical department in our base. Don"t worry," Ling Lan replied seriously. She signaled Courage G.o.d to follow after them back to their base.
The regiment commander heaved a sigh of relief. He didn"t know whether the facilities they had were good or not but it was better than having them die here. Very soon, the Courage G.o.d Mecha Clan arrived at the base of 250 Mecha Clan.
"F**k, what is this? Am I hallucinating?" The people from Courage G.o.d saw the huge protective shield shining beside a lake.
The protective shield was made using the most advanced technology in the Federation. Only master-level and above command centers had the right to get it. However, normal command centers were only able to get small-sized protective shields. This protective shield in front of them was definitely a large-sized one. Only the central command center, at the tenth level of the master-level, was able to get this equipment.
They looked at the calm expressions on 250 Mecha Clan mecha operators" faces. Many mecha operators from Courage G.o.d nudged the mecha operator from 250 Mecha Clan standing beside them.
"Buddy, is that your temporary base?"
"Of course," the mecha operators from 250 Mecha Clan answered proudly.
"Really? That is a large-sized protective shield. How did you get this?" The mecha operators from Courage G.o.d were green with envy.
The regiment commander of Courage G.o.d coughed to remind his members to watch their manners. In his heart, he already confirmed that 250 Mecha Clan was indeed General Ling Xiao"s personal mecha clan. It was the most important mecha clan of the 23rd division. Although it looked like an unt.i.tled normal mecha clan, the regiment commander felt that it was part of General Ling Xiao"s plan. That way, no one would notice this mecha clan.
As the regiment commander of Courage G.o.d, he knew that the Federation had many factions.
The regiment commander"s reminder calmed his mecha operators down. They stopped asking questions and controlled their mechas to move towards the beautiful base. Once they reached the entrance, they saw two ma.s.sive pathways. There were people waving flags near the entrance to guide them into the base.
Since there were injured members, Ling Lan asked Courage G.o.d to enter the pathway first.
The people from Courage G.o.d accepted the offer readily. Everyone knew that the faster these injured people were sent in for treatment, the higher the chances they would survive. Hence, Courage G.o.d"s mechas flew down and entered the pathway.
Within the pathway, they saw people waiting for them with carts. The moment the mecha operators placed down the c.o.c.kpit housing the injured individual into the cart, the people with the cart ran into the base immediately. By the time the mecha operators docked their mechas in the mecha hold, the people pushing the carts were gone. The mecha operators from Courage G.o.d were anxious. They didn"t know where their comrades went.
At that moment, another person led them to the changing room. After changing their clothes, they entered the base.
The base was filled with advanced technologies. There were high-speed conveyor belts allowing soldiers with urgent matters to move around quickly. The person leading them didn"t bring them to the high-speed conveyor belts. Instead, he walked for some distance before reaching a venue that had the hospital logo. Many personnel wearing white gowns were hurrying around the venue.
They were lead into the atrium of the hospital and were asked to wait for the news patiently. Then, he left hurriedly to attend to his next task. There were only 300 logisticians in this base. Every logistician had more than one position. One day, they could be attending to the mechas. The next day, they might be helping out at the hospital. On the third day, they might be cleaning up the base.
These logisticians were busy all the time. At the end of the day, they would fall asleep the moment their head touched the pillow. However, none of them had any grudges. Lin Zhong-qing had brainwashed them well. These logisticians were tricked into thinking all logisticians in the Federation worked as hard as them. They felt that a qualified logistician should be able to handle all kinds of positions.
These logisticians, who used to be the worst among their batch, were trained harshly to become all-rounded logisticians. They didn"t want to remember the tortures they went through in order to become so efficient.
The people from Courage G.o.d waited in the atrium. Many medical logisticians walked pa.s.sed them. They kept sending the mecha operators to the three emergency rooms.
The mecha operators from Courage G.o.d only saw people being pushed in but none came out. They got worried. Were they unable to save their comrades?
Finally, a beautiful and amiable-looking lady wearing a white gown walked out of one of the emergency rooms. This was the first time the people from Courage G.o.d saw a female medic. The moment the lady came out, an impatient mecha operator from Courage G.o.d stopped her. "May I know how my comrade is doing?"
The lady seemed delicate but she was not timid. She looked up at the mecha operator and said in a clear voice, "Bing Ge? Courage G.o.d?" Only mecha operators from these two mecha clans were sent to the emergency room. She couldn"t see the two mecha clans" totems on the mecha operators so she couldn"t tell where this mecha operator was from.
"We are from Courage G.o.d." The mecha operator knew that he had found the right person.
"Still okay," The lady replied indifferently. Then, she wanted to leave.
The mecha operators from Courage G.o.d were angered by the lady"s words. They thought that the lady was giving them a perfunctory reply. They knew their comrades were at the brink of death when they were sent here. They hoped their comrades could be saved but they knew that even with ample resources and experienced doctors in the hospital at their division headquarters, their comrades could not be saved.
"Still okay" was not a bad reply but sometimes, a perfunctory answer was even worse than a piece of bad news.
One of the mecha operators grabbed the lady"s wrist and shouted furiously, "What att.i.tude was that? I"m asked you about the condition of my comrades who are heavily injured. Is this how you should reply to me. Your 250 Mecha Clan is too much. I"m going to complain to your superior."
The lady looked up at the mecha operator with shining eyes. Many mecha operators who were calmer couldn"t bear to scold the lady. They knew that their comrade was too impulsive, as they wanted to pacify the man. However, before they could do anything, the lady moved her wrist. The mecha operator couldn"t hold on and released his grip. The lady broke free easily.
"If you want to know about the condition of the patients, ask the optical supercomputer in the atrium." The lady was not angry. She knew how they felt so she didn"t want to argue with the mecha operator.
However, the mecha operator was not appeased. His emotions exploded when he realized that a lady was able to break free from his grip easily. He raised both of his hands and attempted to grab her again. His eyes were bloodshot.
A cold flash of light flashed pa.s.sed the lady"s eyes. Something shiny flew out of her hand. The mecha operator froze and fell on the ground almost immediately. Everyone saw a miniature syringe at his neck.
The lady calmly took the syringe back and placed it in her pocket. Some logisticians rushed over after seeing the commotion. She told the logisticians, "This person is mentally unstable, send him to room 712 to get treatment."
The logisticians looked at the mecha operator with pity. How did this person offend Miss Luo Chao? She wanted to send this person to that room… They could only hope that he would be fine after going through the treatment.
The people from Courage G.o.d wanted to stop them. Luo Chao looked up and said gently, "Would you all like to visit the room too?"
Everyone shook their head decisively. They wanted to cry. Pretty little lady, can you throw away the syringes in your hands? It"s frightening to see you waving so many syringes about…
Luo Chao nodded her head in satisfaction. She kept her syringes and left the atrium calmly. The miniature syringes Boss Lan gave her were very useful. As expected of my Boss Lan! Luo Chao blushed slightly.
The mecha operators from Courage G.o.d teared up a bit when they saw the beautiful silhouette of the lady. F**k, 250 Mecha Clan is a bunch of perverts! Even a gentle-looking beautiful lady is so vicious. From Luo Chao"s attack, they could tell that her physical skills were stronger than most of them. She was not as harmless as she looked. Their comrade offended someone, he shouldn"t.
After this episode, the mecha operators from Courage G.o.d rein in their temper. They started to be vigilant in front of the people of 250 Mecha Clan. They didn"t want to offend another pervert. However, they still remembered what Luo Chao said and went to check the optical supercomputer in the atrium. They needed to enter their comrades" personal code into the optical supercomputer. Every soldier had his own code. Yet, most soldiers would only remember their own code. They were stunned.
They tried to enter their comrades" names but the optical supercomputer didn"t manage to find the person. They knew why this happened. No one accompanied their injured comrades so the people from 250 Mecha Clan could only scan their comrades" personal codes in order to identify them. If they wanted to get more information, they needed to wait until the treatment ended or wait for their regiment commander to come.
Only their regiment commander had the personal codes of all the mecha operators in the mecha clan.
