Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan paused, and with a wave of her right hand, the students of the Central Scout Academy dodged to one side in unison, sticking close to the walls of the tunnel. Although Gao Jinyun's team reacted a beat slower, there was no confusion. It was just that some of the team members' dodging movements were not as light as when they had entered the Central Scout Academy, which made them look a little unsightly.
With this comparison, the difference in skill was immediately apparent. Gao Jinyun's face burned with shame. He secretly decided that once they entered the school, he would definitely train his team members well, so that they would not embarrass themselves in front of Ling Lan again.
Ling Lan indicated for the students to stay where they were and not move, while she nimbly moved to the door of the main control room in a flash. The door was tightly shut, requiring a password to enter or exit.
"Little Four, how many people are there inside?" Ling Lan asked Little Four silently.
"There are 53 staff members, and 10 bodyguards," Little Four presented the scene inside the main control room truthfully to Ling Lan's mind.
"The other side has the advantage in numbers. If we force our way in, I'm afraid we won't be able to control them. It's very likely that the other side will spread the news," Ling Lan frowned, finding the situation somewhat unexpected. She had thought that at mealtime, there would be fewer staff members inside, but unexpectedly, there was not much reduction.
"Boss, I can instantly seal off their communication devices!" Little Four was agitated. This was his time to show off his might, and also time to let Boss understand his awesomeness.
"Where are the weapons?" Ling Lan glanced coldly at the smug Little Four, instantly suppressing the other's arrogance. Indeed, the staff members inside were all equipped with a beam pistol. If they rushed in, the other side would only have a chance to draw their guns and shoot. If they were unlucky, they would all die here.
Ling Lan did not believe that in the face of such a sudden attack, the people inside could still calmly assess the situation. It was already good enough that they did not fire a volley of arrows. If they lost a classmate here, she would not be able to rest easy.
Little Four was dealt a heavy blow by Ling Lan. He could only go back to squat down and draw circles, reflecting on his actions...
Was he going to use a large-scale mental attack? Ling Lan thought to herself. She actually had a plan. She could feel that the people inside weren't awakened with spiritual innate talents. Thus, her spiritual attacks could completely wipe them out in one fell swoop.
However, Ling Lan had a concern in her heart, because Ling Xiao and Mu Shui-qing did not wish for this ability of hers to be known by others. They had been on the battlefield for a long time and knew the importance of keeping a trump card. At a critical moment, it was a trump card that could save their lives.
Ling Lan agreed. Although her trump card was not just a mental attack, no one would complain about having more trump cards, so Ling Lan nodded in agreement.
Ling Lan was not a person who liked to go back on her word. Since she had promised her father and master that she would not use her spiritual attack unless it was a matter of life and death, Ling Lan had to keep her word. Thus, she decisively abandoned this plan and thought of another way.
Ling Lan began to think of something that she could use them to move about. Suddenly, Ling Lan had an idea. She thought of those guards they had knocked out. Could they make use of their uniforms and weapons?
Ling Lan immediately returned to Han Jijun's side and quietly told him of her plan. Han Jijun thought that this plan was excellent, and the other team leaders beside him also nodded in agreement. As long as the other side hesitated even a little, it would be their chance.
Although the other side had the advantage in numbers, the staff members were not very strong. As long as they did not have the chance to draw their guns and fire in unison, they would definitely be able to control the situation. Their chances of winning were undoubtedly very high.
Young and courageous scout students all had a spirit of adventure, so everyone thought that it was worth a try.
Thus, Ling Lan led the group back to the room where the guards were locked up. Before entering, Ling Lan had Little Four check to see if anyone inside was awake. After confirming that no one was awake, she opened the door. Everyone entered the room together, and very soon, they had stripped off the clothes and weapons of all the guards.
Little Four used this time to check around the ship, and found that the teams here were split into groups of ten. From the looks of it, the first batch of people to enter the main control room should not exceed ten people.
After listening to Little Four's report, Ling Lan was even more certain that this was definitely a military ship in disguise. This was because the arrangement of moving in groups of ten was the smallest operational unit in the Federation's official army (excluding mecha battle squads).
In the room, everyone quickly put on their guard uniforms. Although they were only 16 years old, their physiques were already almost the same as an adult's. At a glance, there was almost no flaw in their disguise.
Only Ling Lan put on her uniform and then took it off. This was because Ling Lan was not the muscular type of a male. Her muscles were soft and beautiful, so when she was not circulating her Qi or fighting, it was impossible to tell that she was a combat expert. Her entire person was slightly thinner than the average male, so these uniforms were obviously too big for her, and did not fit her well.
Everyone thought that Ling Lan would be better off not wearing them, because if she wore them, people would be able to tell at a glance that they were fake, and there would be no point in hiding them.
Ling Lan smiled wryly. The gender difference was still reflected, but Ling Lan very quickly felt balanced again. This was because there was still a man in her team who was even weaker than her, Luo Lang... with this thought, she immediately had no regrets.
Ling Lan, don't you think there's something wrong with your way of thinking? You're a woman, and Luo Lang is a man...
To ensure their safety, Ling Lan, Han Jijun, and several other intelligent team leaders discussed several action plans in this secret room. Among them, Gao Jinyun's performance was outstanding, providing a plethora of possible scenarios after entering the central control room, as well as corresponding countermeasures. With this, the other team leaders of the Central Scout Academy began to think more highly of him.
The students of the Central Scout Academy were all people with their eyes at the top of their heads, never believing that there was anyone more talented than them in the other academies. Thus, when Gao Jinyun had first joined, they had not thought much of him, their attitude clearly cold. If not for the fact that Gao Jinyun's team had performed decently so far, they might have directly shown looks of disdain.
But this time, many of the plans Gao Jinyun had proposed were unexpected. This made them understand that this Gao Jinyun was not simple. Their initial contempt slowly disappeared, and they began to treat Gao Jinyun as a comrade of the same level.
When no one was paying attention, Ling Lan and Han Jijun exchanged a glance, the meaning of which only they knew.
In the end, each team leader received their own mission and returned to their respective teams. The moment Gao Jinyun returned, several team members secretly gave him a big thumbs up, expressing their admiration for their team leader. No matter how calm Gao Jinyun was, at this moment, the corners of his lips could not help but curve upwards...
Gao Jinyun wanted to say a few humble words, saying that it was the inspiration of the others that made him think of all this... he had just opened his mouth to speak when he suddenly stopped. His initial joy vanished, and with a complex expression, he looked towards Han Jijun, who was currently working on the final revisions of the plans with Ling Lan. Just now, he had discovered that all his ideas and plans had been completed under the guidance of the other, either intentionally or unintentionally. In other words, unknowingly, he had been controlled by the other.
"F * ck, what kind of people are they?" Gao Jinyun, who had been confident in his own intelligence, was once again dealt a blow. Could it be that monsters were all around monsters? Still, Gao Jinyun was not someone who did not know what was good for him. The other's actions were obviously hoping that he would be able to integrate into their team...
The first batch of team members to enter the main control room was selected. Other than Ling Lan, they were the 10 strongest scout students, while Lin Zhong-qing would pretend to be the leader of this guard team.
Ling Lan led everyone back to the main control room door quickly. In order to save time, Ling Lan immediately stepped up and let Little Four decipher the password for this door.
Of course, in everyone's eyes, all of this was done by Ling Lan. They saw their Boss Lan stand at the door and stare at it for about a second, then his fingers flew across the door, leaving afterimages on the touch screen. Several seconds later, he suddenly stopped and calmly gave out the password...
They were once again amazed by Boss Lan's prowess. They had not expected the powerful Ling Lan to be so outstanding in the field of deciphering. A question even surfaced in their minds — what did Ling Lan not know?
Lin Zhong-qing, who was pretending to be the team leader, took a deep breath and calmed his pounding heart. Now was the time for him to perform. He must complete the mission Boss Lan had given him perfectly and let Boss Lan see that he, Lin Zhong-qing, was definitely a trustworthy team member.
When Ling Lan had reached out to help him when he was at his lowest, when Ling Lan had still chosen to give him dignity despite knowing that he had not joined the team purely for the sake of it, giving him a chance to become stronger, Lin Zhong-qing had understood that Ling Lan would be the team leader he would follow for the rest of his life...
Lin Zhong-qing's gaze instantly became resolute. Ever since he had joined Ling Lan's team, he had been preparing for this day. Since that was the case, what was there to be nervous about? Perhaps his self-persuasion was effective — his initially tense emotions disappeared, and his entire person became calm and composed.
He reached out his right hand, and his fingers steadily entered the password on the screen. Then, he heard the door suddenly click, and then it automatically moved to the left, revealing a door about 1.5 metres wide.
The people inside heard the noise and reflexively raised their heads to look. Seeing that it was the guards of the spaceship, they relaxed and lowered their heads to continue with their work. Only one of the guards near the door asked in surprise, "Eh? Why are you all here? Is there a situation outside? "
Lin Zhong-qing replied calmly, "Yes! We're here to report. "
The guard did not even think about it. He immediately hung up the communicator on his wrist and shouted, "Team leader, a team leader from the guards said that there's a situation outside and is here to report to you."
"Let him come alone!" A vulgar voice came from the other end of the communicator.
"Yes, team leader!" After the guard hung up, he pointed in a direction and said, "The team leader is right there. You can go over there directly."
"Thank you!" Lin Zhong-qing thanked him politely, but in his heart, he gave himself a fierce 'yes'. He had not expected the security in the spaceship's main control room to be so lax, letting him in without confirming his identity.
He quickly threw a look at his team members behind him, and then quickly walked in the direction the guard had pointed. Lin Zhong-qing knew very well that every second counted now — every second wasted would increase the possibility of him being exposed.
