Three days later, the military announced the rewards for Base Nebula.
All the mecha clans and bases in Base Nebula received a collective third-class merit. The mecha clans that participated in the battle received a collective second-class merit according to their reports. A few mecha clans even received a collective first-class merit. The mecha operators who performed well also received individual merits.
However, the Lingtian Mecha Clan, who had contributed the most to this battle and was the one who decided the outcome of the battle, didn't mention anything about their rewards in this announcement. There was only a note at the end stating that the rewards of the Lingtian Mecha Clan had not been verified and would only be announced after a few days.
The Lingtian Mecha Clan wasn't surprised by this. Wasn't it the same during the battle on Planet Haijiao? Every time after a battle, it would be difficult for the rewards to appear.
They also understood. Their regiment commander always liked to bring them to do big things, and it was the kind that was so big that even the military couldn't digest it. It caused the military and even the entire Federation to be busy dealing with the aftermath.
Just the diplomats from the United Nations would argue with each other every day. Some of them even fought with each other. They couldn't maintain their image as diplomats.
Thus, the various departments in the military and even the government didn't have a good impression of Lingtian. Whenever they talked about Lingtian, they would think of those daring bastards. They both loved and hated them.
Under such circumstances, how could the higher-ups in the military be willing to give out rewards so easily? They would always try their best to find out what they were lacking in and nitpick at the bones in an egg. They would do everything they could to reduce their military merits. Every little bit counted. Even though doing so would not benefit them in any way, they still wanted to do so. Seeing Ling Tian suffer, they would be happy (love-hate?).
However, they weren't afraid. Lingtian wasn't raised by a stepmother. There was a boss above them. General Ling Xiao wouldn't let the military treat them badly.
While Lingtian was waiting for the military to give their final answer, Ling Lan was dressed in a military uniform. She brought Li Lanfeng, Zhao Jun, and Li Shiyu to the entrance of Piercing Arrow's camp.
"Major General Ling, welcome." Yu Wei, who had received the news, led a group of captains to welcome him personally.
"Regiment Commander Yu, sorry to disturb you." Ling Lan nodded lightly towards Yu Wei before entering Piercing Arrow's camp with him.
Everyone sat down in the meeting room of the command center. Only then did Yu Wei ask Ling Lan why she had come to his camp at this time.
Ling Lan glanced at Li Lanfeng indifferently.
Li Lanfeng understood and said, "Regiment Commander Yu, we came here to see someone. We have some things we want to ask him."
Yu Wei was curious. "Who are you looking for?"
"Zhang Han!" Li Lanfeng smiled.
Looking at Li Lanfeng in shock, Zhang Chao nervously asked, "Captain Li, how do you know my brother's name? Was it because of the leather whip? I've already taught him a lesson. "
"It's not about that. I just want to ask him if he knows someone," Li Lanfeng explained gently.
Hearing this, Zhang Chao calmed down and said, "Okay, I'll call him over."
Zhang Chao quickly contacted Zhang Han and told him to come to the command center to ask him something.
Not long after, Zhang Han arrived. Once he entered the meeting room, he saw Ling Lan sitting at the main seat. His expression changed and he stopped in his tracks. He looked like he was about to run away.
"Useless. Come over here." Seeing Zhang Han's cowardly look, Zhang Chao was furious and shouted at him.
Zhang Han lowered his head and walked in front of Zhang Chao listlessly. He said weakly, "Brother!"
"Answer properly. Major General Ling wants to ask you something." Zhang Chao couldn't bear to see Zhang Han's expression. He suppressed his anger and reminded him out of concern.
"Okay, got it." Zhang Han nodded and walked towards Yu Wei and Ling Lan. He saluted and waited for the question.
Li Lanfeng saw this and said, "Second Lieutenant Zhang, do you know Major Wang Junzhi?"
Zhang Han was confused. "I don't know him."
Li Lanfeng opened the virtual screen on his communicator. Wang Junzhi's 3D image appeared on the screen.
"Second Lieutenant Zhang, this is the person. Think carefully. Have you seen him before?" Li Lanfeng was very patient.
Zhang Han thought carefully. After a few seconds, he shook his head again and said, "I'm sorry. I really don't remember him."
Zhang Chao saw this and quickly added, "Although my younger brother is a little useless, he doesn't like to go out. Unless he goes to buy necessities, he usually stays in the base. He doesn't know many outsiders. I've never heard him mention this person before. I think he really doesn't know him."
In reality, Zhang Chao also felt that this person was very unfamiliar. Base Nebula was like a huge city. Every mecha clan had their own base. Some of them were far away from each other. They might not know each other until they retired.
Li Lanfeng didn't seem to give up. He continued to ask, "You haven't seen him in the virtual world?"
Zhang Chao thought carefully and then shook his head firmly. "I haven't seen him before."
"Okay. Thank you, Second Lieutenant Zhang. There's one more thing. I hope you can cooperate with us. " Li Lanfeng didn't bother about Wang Junzhi anymore. He waved at Li Shiyu, who was sitting at the side, and asked him to come over.
Li Shiyu walked in front of Zhang Han and said politely, "Second Lieutenant Zhang, please cooperate with me and let me examine you."
"Why?" Zhang Han was cautious.
"I have to make sure that you answer the above questions when you're conscious." Li Shiyu took out an evaluation report and said helplessly.
There were all kinds of agents on the market. Some agents could even successfully control a person's thoughts and make them answer what they wanted them to answer. This was to deceive the investigators. Hence, for some important questions that needed to be filed, the evaluation report from the military doctor was needed to make sure that the person being questioned answered all the questions when he was conscious.
Zhang Han heard this and instantly relaxed. He didn't resist Li Shiyu's examination anymore.
After the examination, Li Shiyu nodded at Li Lanfeng. Then, he returned to Ling Lan's side.
Li Lanfeng stood up and smiled at Yu Wei. "Regiment Commander Yu, I'm sorry. We have to take Zhang Han away."
Yu Wei was stunned, and Zhang Han exclaimed in shock, "Why?"
Zhang Chao was also shocked. He hurriedly said, "Why is that?"
Li Lanfeng smiled but didn't say anything. Li Shiyu, who was standing beside Ling Lan, said, "Although Second Lieutenant Zhang doesn't have a mind-controlling agent, he does have something else."
When he said this, Zhang Han's expression changed. "You're lying."
"According to the data I found, in another ten days or so, you have to take that thing again. Otherwise, you'll suffer a fate worse than death." Facing Zhang Han's anger, Li Shiyu calmly stated his judgment.
