The gaze was cold and indifferent. It was a look of contempt. To Ling Lan, they were not humans. They were just pieces of trash.
This look meant that she treated them as nothing. That was why she ignored them entirely. This was utter humiliation. In the past, they would be furious and shouted at Ling Lan. However, now, they shrunk back and lowered down their heads.
Even Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong couldn’t defeat Ling Lan when they joined forces. What could they do? In the military, those people who were strong gained respect and followers.
Ling Lan walked towards Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong after looking at the crowd. She leaned forward slightly. She used this posture to pressure them even further.
She said calmly, “In my mecha clan, you all are just normal mecha operators. Besides that, you and your past achievements meant nothing. Remember this!”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong looked up at Ling Lan with pale faces. Her force of presence was enough to shut them up completely. They didn’t expect themselves to lose so terribly.
Ling Lan didn’t wait for their replies. She didn’t need them to. She just needed to win them over and scare the other mecha operators. She had completed her task beautifully. She straightened her back and turned around. “Everyone will gather at the training ground at 7 am sharp tomorrow. You all can leave now!”
“Yes!” Some mecha operators replied instinctively. By the time they realized what they did, Ling Lan had disappeared.
Li Lanfeng came over and added, “Of course, you can choose not to come, However, our regiment commander hates people who don’t listen to orders. I cannot guarantee what will happen to you if you disobey him.”
The mecha operators s.h.i.+vered in fear. They had no thoughts of resisting and reminded themselves to be early tomorrow.
“Oh right, please remind those people that didn’t come today. The regiment commander ordered for everyone to report to the training ground tomorrow. If someone doesn’t come, we might all have a hard time.” Just as everyone was prepared to leave, Li Lanfeng continued reminding them.
F**k, can you finish saying everything at once? While they cursed out Li Lanfeng in their hearts, they quickly went to remind their friends to not be late tomorrow. They told them about Ling Lan’s ruthlessness and to not take the gamble tomorrow.
While Li Lanfeng was reminding the mecha operators, Qi Long, Zhao Jun, Li Yingjie, and Lin Zhong-qing came to Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi. Qi Long looked at them with concern. He looked so sincere. “Senior Colonel Yang Mingzhi, Senior Colonel Liu Furong, how are you two holding up? Let us send you two to the medical department.”
Undoubtedly, Qi Long’s kind face lowers people’s guard. Yang Mingzhi didn’t reject him. He gave a forced smile. “Sorry to trouble you all.”
“It is what I should do. You are after all our seniors. We look forward to hearing about your experiences.” Qi Long gave a shy and sincere smile. He scratched his hair in a flurry.
Li Yingjie held Liu Furong up with the help of Lin Zhong-qing. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes. What good acting!
After so many years, Li Yingjie knew that Qi Long looked honest but was actually an evil person. He was as bad as Li Lanfeng. Li Yingjie glanced at Li Lanfeng who was warning the other mecha operators.
Since Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were injured badly, they walked at a slow pace.
Yang Mingzhi felt a little bored so he asked, “Are you in the same battle team as the regiment commander?”
“Yes, he is our captain.” Qi Long seemed to have forgotten that his captain injured the person he was holding and immediately admitted their relations.h.i.+p.
Yang Mingzhi smiled helplessly. As expected of an honest person. He didn’t know how to beat around the bush. However, this was good too. He would be able to pry more information about Ling Lan out of him.
“How does your captain treat you all?” Yang Mingzhi continued asking.
Qi Long thought about it seriously before answering. “Not bad. As long as we are not training.”
Zhao Jun, Li Yingjie, and Lin Zhong-qing instantly nodded in agreement.
Why did everyone’s expression change? What kind of training did they have? Yang Mingzhi couldn’t help but be curious. “How does your captain train you?”
Qi Long replied without any hesitation, “He would beat me till I’m half dead.”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong felt their hearts jumped. Beat him till he’s half-dead? Is this the truth or is it exaggerated?
“Really?” Liu Furong asked, “Like us?”
Qi Long looked at them. He pouted. “Of course not.”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong relaxed. Why would anyone beat someone until he is half dead during training? It’s impossible. This young man is exaggerating.
“At least you two can still walk. Every time training ends, I will be dragged to the medical room by my boss. It feels like I’m dying but Li s.h.i.+yu’s medicine always revives me.” Qi Long’s words made Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong’s heart pumped faster. Was this how their regiment commander trained people?
They didn’t believe what Qi Long said so they looked at the rest.
Zhao Jun sighed. “If it was the day training, it was still fine. We could have some time to rest and recover. If it was the month training, I really felt like I would die…”
“Day training? Month training? What’s that?” Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were confused.
Lin Zhong-qing thoughtfully explained to them. “Day training means a training session that lasted only for a day. We would get to rest and receive treatment after the session. This is the easiest form of training. Month training lasts for a month. We would be tortured every single day and won’t have the time to rest. We only had a night to recover. The next day, no matter what state we were in, we must go back to train. When we reached the 10th day, everyone felt that they would die already…”
Lin Zhong-qing recalled the memories and s.h.i.+vered. “Luckily, we all survived.” He looked at Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong with pity.
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong met all kinds of people so they immediately noticed the look. They thought about something and their expression changed. “Is the regiment commander going to give us the month training?”
Qi Long nodded instantly. “Most probably.”
“Why is he giving us month training right from the start? Shouldn’t we start slowly?” If this was true, Yang Mingzhi felt that the mecha operators in 250 Mecha Clan would not able to handle the training. Did the regiment commander want to get rid of certain people?
“Because boss is dissatisfied with all of you. Since he is dissatisfied, he will train you all until you reach his standards. Senior, do you think any mecha operators can reach boss’s standards?”
Yang Mingzhi was speechless. He replied softly, “But he can’t just start with the month training like this.” The mecha operators in 250 Mecha Clan were people who received many merits and achieve many achievements. Was it fine to treat them like this?
“Why not? When I just entered the battle team, I went through the month training too.” Li Yingjie asked curiously, “If I can handle it, why can’t the seniors handle it?”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong didn’t know what to say. They didn’t have any interest to continue to talk to them anymore and were sent to Li s.h.i.+yu.
Li s.h.i.+yu was flipping the doc.u.ments at his office desk. When he saw two people being sent in, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “For experiments again?”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong felt their eyebrows twitching. Doctor Li looked like a gentle person but in actual fact, he was evil. How could he react so calmly to human experiments? The military banned human experiments.
Qi Long waved his hand immediately. “No, no. These two seniors are here to be treated.”
“They are hurt?” Li s.h.i.+yu put down the doc.u.ments in his hand and took such a medical device from the side. He inspected their bodies and said, “All your organs are injured. However, you handled it well by stopping the bleeding with your Qi-Jin so the injuries didn’t get worse.”
He scolded them, “You two are already close to 50 years old. Why are you two still fighting like young men? I can treat you two this time but next time, don’t look for me.”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong smiled bitterly. “You thought that we fought each other?”
Li s.h.i.+yu scoffed. “If you didn’t injure each other, how did you two get hurt so badly?”
Yang Mingzhi sighed. “The regiment commander did this to us.”
“You mean our captain?” Li s.h.i.+yu was shocked.
“Yes!” Yang Mingzhi was not afraid of embarra.s.sing himself. After all, this news would probably spread throughout the entire 250 Mecha Clan soon.
