Li Lanfeng knew that his suggestion was too presumptuous. Since the other party was so calculative, they wouldn't give them a chance to stay in Base Nebula.
He could only sigh. "It seems like it's just like what you said. We have to take it one step at a time."
Ling Lan said regretfully, "Our biggest problem is the lack of information. However, the other party didn't give us enough time to solve this problem."
"What we lack is time." Li Lanfeng also felt what was holding them back. He didn't care about the position of the head of the Li family but now, he had the desire to get it.
If he became the head of the Li family, he would be able to use his family's intelligence network to solve this problem.
After going through the complicated procedures, the three transport fleets were finally unloaded and ready to return.
Soon, Ling Lan received an order. They were to go to the Qingri wormhole first to make sure that the three transport fleets returned safely.
The Qingri wormhole was the Federation's planetary sector. Although it was close to the Twilight planetary sector, the first sneak attack was already an accident. If there was a second sneak attack, the Federation's border guards would have to commit suicide to atone for their mistake.
This seemed like a safe order, but when Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng received it, their expressions turned serious. They both sensed that a plot against them was about to happen.
"Where do you think they will attack?" Ling Lan looked at the route to the Qingri wormhole and asked Li Lanfeng, who was reading the order carefully.
"I think it will be on the way to the Qingri wormhole. Something happened at the Qingri wormhole before. If the enemy sneaks in again, none of the border guards will be able to escape." Li Lanfeng told her his guess. "Unless the higher-ups are willing to sacrifice an entire border guard."
"We are facing an ambitious and ruthless person. He might have been hiding in our Federation for decades. He might even be a guest from an enemy nation who climbed to a high position. To him, sacrificing a border army doesn't cost him anything. He might even be happy to see it happen." Ling Lan had another opinion.
"So, it's possible that there will be a second ambush at the Qingri wormhole." Li Lanfeng immediately understood what Ling Lan was trying to say.
"Yes, there will be ambushes at any time along the way." Ling Lan sneered. "I think it's the Qingri wormhole when we think there's no danger." “
Everyone thought that there wouldn't be a second ambush in a place that had already been ambushed. It was very likely that the other party had used this mentality to set up an ambush in the most unlikely place.
"That makes sense. However, there's another possibility. The other party might have taken advantage of our thoughts and set up an ambush before we entered battle mode, catching us off guard. Li Lanfeng had another opinion.
Ling Lan's eyes shone brightly as she discussed with Li Lanfeng. Her thoughts became clearer and clearer. "There might not be only one ambush. If they set up an ambush area when we are not on guard, they will definitely let their guard down when we rush out of the encirclement and reach a safe place. At that time, there will definitely be a second ambush to catch us off guard." “
"Then the best place for the second ambush is here." Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng's fingers pointed at a certain point on the Star Sector Map at the same time.
Their fingers touched. Ling Lan saw that Li Lanfeng had the same thoughts as her so she smiled at Li Lanfeng.
This smile made Li Lanfeng's beautiful face instantly turn red. He retracted his index finger and slowly lowered his right hand. When Ling Lan wasn't paying attention, he rubbed his thumb against his index finger. The spot where his thumb touched Ling Lan's finger had a hint of a smile on his face. He seemed to be reminiscing about something.
Base Nebula moved out not long after. Before they left the Base Feiyu's territory, Ling Lan ordered all the soldiers of Base Nebula to get ready. All the mecha operators boarded their mechas and waited at the ejection tunnel in the mecha hold. They were ready to eject at any time.
The atmosphere in Base Nebula was tense. All the soldiers didn't know why they had to be so cautious in such a safe place. However, Ling Lan was the general with the highest military rank in the base. Moreover, the commanding officer of the base was Commander Ye. Although everyone was surprised, they still obeyed her orders and got into position.
The fastest was the Lingtian Independent Army. More than 30 team leaders quickly brought their team members to the exclusive ejection tunnel of the independent army.
Han Xuya sent out the JMC department. The person in charge of the JMC department was the deputy head, Mei Gu. During the expansion of Lingtian's army, Mei Gu performed well and was nominated as one of the deputy heads by Han Xuya. After a series of tests, Mei Gu defeated the other deputy heads. In the end, she didn't miss the opportunity that Han Xuya gave her.
The serious Lady Mei had already brought all the JMCs to their positions. They were just waiting for Ling Lan's order to activate the ejection mechanism.
This was the first time Lady Mei was in charge of an ejection mission. Although her expression was calm, she clenched her fists from time to time. It was enough to show how excited and nervous she was.
"Lady Mei, you can't be nervous. You can't make any mistakes. You can't embarrass your department head. You definitely can't." Lady Mei encouraged herself in her heart. She admired the head who was as strong as a man. She hoped that she could complete the mission perfectly and prove that the head was right to recommend her.
When you respect someone, you don't want them to be disappointed. You don't want them to be doubted. Lady Mei felt the same way towards Han Xuya. She could accept anyone doubting her but she couldn't disappoint Han Xuya and be doubted because of it.
The atmosphere in Base Nebula was tense but from the outside, it couldn't be seen. Base Nebula moved forward slowly. It wasn't in a rush. It seemed like it was comfortable because it was in the Federation's planetary sector.
Meng Lan controlled the radar of Base Nebula and used all her strength to search the surroundings. Little Four, who was taken over by Meng Lan, started to capture the various signals in the sky. He wanted to find something.
After driving for more than ten minutes, the surroundings were still quiet. It seemed like there was no possibility of an ambush.
Li Lanfeng couldn't help but frown. Could it be that his and Ling Lan's guess was wrong?
"There's no need to rush. It's just the beginning." Compared to Li Lanfeng, Ling Lan was much calmer.
"I'm just afraid that the nerves below will be tense for too long. There will be problems." Li Lanfeng knew very well that the soldiers below weren't like him and Ling Lan who had awakened their spiritual talent. They could maintain a high level of alertness for a long period of time. Once they exceeded a certain threshold, they would feel fatigued. If they entered the enemy's ambush now, it would be a disaster.
PS: I've been stuck recently. Sorry, I only have one chapter. I hope that I can pass the checkpoint as soon as possible so that I can write a few more chapters before the Chinese New Year.
