The people from Evil Wind looked at the major coldly and waited for him to continue. Although they knew that the people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan didn"t torture them, they were still invaded and dragged into their base. This was an utter humiliation to them. They wouldn"t forget about their humiliation just because they were given some small benefits."In a while, you will get your personal number from the senior captain on my left."
The people from Evil Wind went into an uproar. They already had their own numbers. If they changed it, wouldn"t it mean that Evil Wind no longer exists?
"Don"t even think about it!" Someone shouted in anger.
Soon after that first shout, everyone from Evil Wind started shouting. The situation went a little out of control.
"Hmph!" The major scoffed. Everyone were below the optimal peak of Qi-Jin felt blood churning in their chest. Those that hadn"t achieved Qi-Jin stage felt an iron taste in their mouths and blood started dripping out of their mouths. Even Yan Three, who had reached the optimal peak of Qi-Jin, felt his heart shuddering.
The frightening force of presence from the major made everyone silent. They looked at the major in fear. "Where on earth did 250 Ace Mecha Clan come from? Even an insignificant major is so powerful."
When everyone quietened down, the major continued, "Of course, you can choose whether you want to change or not. Those people who chose not to change their numbers will be sent to the medical department directly."
The major clapped his hands and two muscular medics jumped out. One of them was holding a huge syringe while the other cracked his knuckles loudly. They smiled and looked at the members of Evil Wind like they were looking at a piece of steak. They seemed to be hoping that someone would not change their number.
Yan Three noticed that one of the medics was the person who knocked his team member unconscious with one strike. That team member was at the middle stage of Qi-Jin. Yan Three remembered that the other logisticians called this medic, Leader Xie. He must be the leader of the medical team. Yan Three didn"t know who the other medic was but from the aura he was giving off, he was as strong as Leader Xie. No, the feeling these two medics gave him was similar to the masked major.
Yan Three felt confused. "What is going on in 250 Ace Mecha Clan? Why are their logisticians so powerful?"
Many of the people from Evil Wind had suffered in the hands of these two medics. Hence, when the two of them walked out, a few people"s faces turned pale. Those that didn"t meet the two medics before got anxious when they saw this scene. They started to hesitate. "Should we bare with the humiliation now and wait for a chance to take revenge in the future?" They thought.
"Those that don"t want to change their numbers will be sent back to the medical department." The masked major explained patiently to the members of Evil Wind. "There is a lack of manpower in the medical department. The head of the medical department had some new agents and requires some help with it. I"m sure that he welcomes you all to go back."
The members of Evil Wind trembled in fear. They were tortured for six days there. Even though they knew that the agents would not harm them and are instead good for them, they never wanted to experience it again. This major was trying to tell them that if they went back, they would be used to test out the new agents the head of the medical department invented. No matter how stupid the members of Evil Wind were, they knew that new agents came with a random effect. Some might be good while some might be harmful. If they were unlucky, they might die from the side effects of the new agents. No human would want to die, especially in such a manner too.
If they didn"t agree to change their number, they would face a huge crisis. They might even lose their life because of it. The members of Evil Wind were anxious. They looked at Yan Three and hoped that their leader could give them an answer. If their leader didn"t want to change his number, they would follow him even if it meant death.
The masked major noticed everyone"s gaze and turned to look at Yan Three. He smiled and asked, "Leader Yan, your members seemed to be waiting for your order. In that case, I will not ask them for their opinions anymore. I will ask you directly. Do you agree to change your number?"
Yan Three narrowed his eyes. "This masked major is an evil person. Whether he agrees or not, he will become a sinner."
If he didn"t agree, he would have to bear responsibility for the lives of all his team members. Once one of his team members died during an experiment, he would regret for life. If he agreed, he would be giving up Evil Wind. He would personally destroy the spiritual pillar that supported all his team members. Once this spiritual pillar was destroyed, they would never be able to become the courageous Evil Wind Mecha Clan again. Even if they left 250 Ace Mecha Clan, they wouldn"t be able to go back to being who they were.
Yan Three was in a dilemma. Actually, when he heard what the major said, he had already made a decision. He wouldn"t change his number. It was not because he was afraid of death. He wanted to use his death to uphold the spirit of Evil Wind. But now, he couldn"t even do that. Once he says that he didn"t want to change, all his team members would follow him no matter how hesitant they initially were. He was not afraid of dying but he was afraid of the responsibility of dictating the life and death of all his team members.
The major smiled when he saw Yan Three hesitating. He slowly walked towards Yan Three and sized him up. "Why do you need to take so long to consider such a simple question?"
Without waiting for Yan Three to reply, the major mocked him, "I shouldn"t have asked you this question in front of so many people. Leader Yan, you want to change your number but because I asked you in front of so many members, you got embarra.s.sed. You are afraid of losing your dignity as a leader, right?"
The masked major sneered at Yan Three. The two medics looked at Yan Three intently. If he says that he didn"t want to change, they would start their work instantly.
Yan Three"s lips twitched. He was speechless. He had already walked into the other party"s trap. Only a heartless and selfish person would be able to walk out of the trap. This was a test of humanity. Yan Three"s sweat dripped down his forehead. Should he protect his members and get cast aside by his team members or should he give up his humanity and become a selfish person?
"Leader Yan?" The masked major looked at Yan Three sharply. He was not going to let him escape this time.
Yan Three forced a smile on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "I want to change!"
The members of Evil Wind gave him a look of disbelief. "Their leader going to abandon the Evil Wind Mecha Clan?"
"Good. You are a wise man." The major clapped his hands and invited Yan Three forward. "Please lead the way and get your new number."
This was a final blow to Yan Three. It cut off all paths of retreat for him. He would never be able to hold his head high up again.
