1418 Cooperation Partner?
The leader who just regained his freedom quickly got up from the ground. He looked around and realized that the other two people were in the north and south respectively. They blocked all the possible escape routes and didn't give them any chance at all.
The leader sighed in his heart and said honestly, "Grand Duke, please ask."
"Where are you from? Who are you? What do you want? "Ling Lan threw three questions at them. The first step was to figure out what these people were doing.
Their obviously repaired mechas were definitely not from the 13 Lords' mechas. The mecha troops of the 13 Lords would never have mechas with such serious signs of repair.
In reality, Ling Lan had seriously studied their mechas before. Although the exterior of their mechas looked crudely repaired, in battle, the performance of the mechas and the defensive power of the mechas were not much weaker than an official mecha. This meant that there was a highly skilled modification master behind this group of mecha operators. To be able to gather so many outstanding mecha operators and a modification master, it didn't matter if they were an organization or not, their power couldn't be underestimated.
The leader hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how to answer. If they exposed their mecha scavenger organization, they wouldn't be in a good position even if they went back alive. However, if he didn't say anything, he didn't know if the three people in front of him would get angry and directly kill the seven of them.
He brought them out on an adventure to support his family and to bring them back safely.
The leader knew the family situation of his team members. They couldn't afford to die. Once they died, their family members probably wouldn't be able to survive in this terrifying Lawless Lands. Plus, there was a young man who was doing this job for the first time. He had unlimited potential in the future. If he died just like that, it would be a pity.
The leader thought for a moment and chose to say something that could be said. "We are mecha scavengers. Every year, during the war, we would come here to look for mecha parts that can be exchanged for money."
"Mecha scavengers?" This answer stunned Ling Lan. She didn't think that there would be such an occupation in the Lawless Lands. It was the type that made money from the war.
"Every year, there will be a great war. There will be losers, and of course, there will also be victors. According to the rules, everything left behind by the losers will belong to the victors. For example, these broken mecha will be cleaned up by the victors in the end." The leader explained, "As for us, we sneaked into the battlefield to take advantage of this time gap. Before the winning side sends people to clean up, we can choose some usable mecha or spare parts. After everything calms down, we can go to the black market to exchange for some resources and money."
"We don't have a choice. We have elders and children in our families. They are all defenseless people. They have to rely on us to earn money for their families. In the Lawless Lands, if we want to earn money, we have to risk our lives. However, we can't afford to risk our lives. There are too many things involved and we have too many considerations …" The leader's voice had a hint of bitterness in it. It showed that they had no choice but to do this.
"So you're saying that you accidentally discovered this way to make money?" Ling Lan asked.
"That's right." The leader nodded.
"The mecha modifications are not bad." Ling Lan suddenly changed the topic.
"Huh?" The leader didn't know what Ling Lan meant by that sentence.
"It looks rough but the compatibility is very high. It didn't drag down the mecha's performance." Ling Lan smiled faintly. "I also found that the repaired parts are as good as the original parts."
The leader's heart tightened. He didn't know what to say.
"I think you know what this means," Ling Lan said calmly.
"What does this mean?" The leader could only force himself to follow the flow of the conversation.
"The person who modified the mecha is a master in the modification field … You guys are really lucky to have such an important person by your side." Ling Lan smiled faintly.
"Haha, yes. Our luck is really good." The leader could only pretend to be a fool until the end. In the cockpit, his underwear was already soaked in cold sweat. He knew that he couldn't hide it from Ling Lan anymore. Normal mecha operators didn't pay much attention to mecha modifications. How could he know that this imperial operator in front of him actually knew so much about mecha modifications? She could see through the secret of their mecha repairs with just one look.
Their luck was really f * * king bad!
"You guys are from the same organization, right?" Ling Lan didn't need the other's answer. From the other's evasive answer, she was almost certain of this fact. Hence, Ling Lan said it in a certain tone.
The leader had always been afraid of exposing his organization. But now that the other had really exposed him, it was as if the string that had been pulled taut all this time had suddenly snapped. Instead, his entire body relaxed, and he fell limp in the cockpit.
Ling Lan didn't hear the other's reply. However, not answering was the same as answering.
"The mecha scavenger alliance or organization. The mecha you pick up will be handled by them. They will give you a corresponding price based on the quality of the mecha you pick up … and you members will also enjoy some benefits from the alliance or organization, such as mecha repairs and modifications." Ling Lan continued, "This can also explain why your mecha have a master in modification."
The leader was completely speechless. In just a few sentences, the other had already deduced some of their organization's secrets.
"Yes, perhaps, you guys being able to appear here is also because of the information provided by your alliance or organization. However, this information needs to be exchanged with money or points …" Ling Lan's words made the leader's expression change drastically. This was because what Ling Lan said was the truth, and this truth already involved the core of the organization. At the start, although he was regretful that he had been seen through, he wasn't that afraid. However, now, he began to feel fear towards this imperial operator in front of him.
"This is getting interesting." Ling Lan was very happy. After entering Kamoda, they didn't have any information. They also couldn't contact Zhao Jun and the other two. They were really in the dark. They could only fly around randomly like headless flies, hoping that a blind cat would find a dead mouse. Unexpectedly, their luck was really good. What they met wasn't a dead mouse, but a fat and lively one.
It was obvious that the mecha scavenger alliance or organization must have information about other battlefields. This information was what Ling Lan needed the most now.
There was a saying in the past: War is fought with logistics. However, the key to winning a war was information.
As information that could determine the outcome of a war, Ling Lan placed a lot of importance on it. Thus, Ling Lan made a prompt decision and changed her original direction. She first went to visit this mysterious mecha scavenger alliance.
Ling Lan believed that the mecha scavenger alliance definitely didn't only have information about Kamoda. They were able to perfectly break down the mechas on the battlefield and enter the market of the Lawless Lands without leaving any traces. Also, after so many years, they weren't discovered by the 13 Lords. Their capabilities and foundation were quite solid.
Perhaps, this alliance was a very good partner to work with.
