Chapter 1052 Laughter
These two people were the top two mecha operators who grasped the skills of a logistician. Their opponent made the worst decision they could. Of course, they were still oblivious to that fact. Even worse was that, they felt that they had a high chance of winning this match.
Li Lanfeng smiled when he heard the other party’s decision. Was this the same as seeking death?
Yang Mingzhi looked at the senior colonel weirdly. He asked, “Senior Colonel Zhou, are you sure?”
Yang Mingzhi knew who this senior colonel was. His name was Zhou Yongnan. He was a t.i.tled mecha operator too. In the past, Yang Mingzhi had led his team and cooperated with Zhou Yongnan before. He didn’t expect the other party to come to 250 Ace Mecha Clan at all. He even came as a normal mecha operator. The only difference was, Yang Mingzhi came because he gave up on himself while Zhou Yongnan came because he had a motive.
“I’m sorry, Major General Yang. We will have to trouble you.” Zhou Yongnan’s decision was firm. He chose Yang Mingzhi because he understood how proud he was in the past. He didn’t think that such an arrogant person would lower himself to learn the skills of a logistician.
“Fine. I hope you won’t regret your decision.” Yang Mingzhi smiled lightly. Since he knew Senior Colonel Zhou, he decided to give him another chance to retract his decision, but since he didn’t take it he would just have to crush him in the upcoming match. This was the most he could do.
Zhou Yongnan’s expression changed. He suddenly felt that he might have made the wrong decision.
“Let’s go to the mecha hold,” Li Lanfeng smiled and suggested.
“Sure.” Zhou Yongnan had to agree. He could only hope that his feelings were wrong. He hoped that the other party was making a last ditch effort to trick them.
The group of them came to the mecha hold. They saw that the mecha hold was already filled with people. Most of the mecha operators from 250 Ace Mecha Clan were there. There were even many logisticians too.
Meng Lan had informed everyone about the battle of logistician skills between the old and new mecha operators in 250 Ace Mecha Clan. (Meng Lan liked to have fun. We can only say that she followed the nature of the person who created her.)
When their leaders arrived, the old mecha operators shouted, “Leader, who are the ones competing? Hurry up and tell us.”
In front of these newbies who only learned the skills for two months, this bunch of veteran soldiers was not afraid at all. They had mastered their skills thoroughly for over so many years. They rubbed their hands in antic.i.p.ation. They were looking forward to torturing this bunch of newbies. They didn’t care if these newbies were actually as powerful as them or had the same rank as them.
Without the scary Regiment Commander Ling, these veteran mecha operators started revealing their true nature. They were all ruffians by nature. They weren’t afraid of creating troubles. If there wasn’t Major General Yang Mingzhi and the frightening agents by Li s.h.i.+yu, they might have jumped on these newbies long ago and beat them up badly. Then, they would throw them out of their base.
Hence, when they knew that they had a chance to compete with them, even though it was only on logistician skills, they were extremely excited. They hoped that they were the ones chosen so they could humiliate the other party as much as they wanted.
Yang Mingzhi saw how excited his team members were. Some even started fighting with each other in the hopes of forcing their compet.i.tors away to increase their chances of getting chosen. He held his forehead in embarra.s.sment. He was speechless. “Control yourselves. It has nothing to do with you. Colonel Li and I will be competing.”
How hungry were they to fight? Why weren’t they so troublesome when regiment commander was around? When Regiment Commander Ling was around, they were all very obedient. Without him, everyone turned into a ‘child’. Yang Mingzhi felt his head starting to hurt. A few days ago when he was combing his hair, he realized that he grew many strands of white hair. He looked older too.
‘Regiment commander, when are you coming back?’ Yang Mingzhi looked at the roof of the mecha hold in great sadness. He couldn’t help but recall his pure and innocent team members of the past.
While Yang Mingzhi was feeling sorrowful, the other mecha operators started laughing after a moment of silence.
“Oh my G.o.d, what kind of luck do they have? Why did they choose Leader Yang and Big Leader Li?”
“Wow, I really pity them.”
“I feel that the worst tragedy this year is going to happen soon.”
“I hope that they still have to face to stay later.” Many mecha operators started being schadenfreude.
Zhou Yongnan’s face turned pale when he heard all these conversations. Did he really make a mistake? No, they must be trying to fool them. Their decision was right! Zhou Yongnan clenched his fist tightly and forced himself to calm down.
At that moment, one of the veteran mecha operators shouted at Zhou Yongnan, “Old Zhou, why did you choose these two monsters? Let me do it so that you won’t lose too terribly.”
Yang Mingzhi wasn’t the only one who knew Zhou Yongnan. A few other veteran mecha operators recognized him too.
The person who shouted was really being kind. Leader Yang and Big Leader Li were the best among them. If they were to compete against those newbies… he couldn’t bear to see the result. Of course, the most important reason was, he wanted to be the one competing. Let him torture these newbies instead!
‘Their aim is to swap Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng out. My decision is right.’ Instead of accepting the kind offer, the offer instilled confidence in Zhou Yongnan’s decision.
“There’s no need for that. We’ll compete with Major General Yang and Colonel Li. We won’t lose,” Zhou Yongnan replied resolutely. He was speaking to the mecha operators from 250 Ace Mecha Clan as well as himself.
They wouldn’t lose!
His statement caused the people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan to start laughing again.
Zhou Yongnan wasn’t affected. He turned around and asked Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng, “How shall we compete?”
“Send the two people whom you think are the best. If not, you might not admit defeat willingly.” Li Lanfeng replied calmly, “If one of your people win against us, you’ll win.”
Zhou Yongnan frowned. This rule was very beneficial to them. Were they so confident that they would definitely win? Zhou Yongnan’s heart wavered again. Before he could say anything, a senior colonel behind him said, “Okay.”
This senior colonel thought that Zhou Yongnan hesitated because the rules were too beneficial towards them. He nudged Zhou Yongnan to remind him that they shouldn’t be bothered with fairness now. They must choose what benefited them the most.
Since the situation was set, Zhou Yongnan couldn’t say anything more. He nodded at the senior colonel. He didn’t dare to tell anyone his suspicion. He was afraid that he would affect their state of mind.
