Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Hearing the white-clothed youth's words, Yong-guang could not help but smile wryly and say, "I'm tied up like this, how can I lift the ban? At least let go of my hands." He turned to look at Luo Lang and said, "Since Brother Xi has said so, why don't you let go of my hands first? I'll help you lift the ban on the hover car."
The white-clothed youth's gaze fell on Luo Lang once more, and he looked at Luo Lang expectantly.
Luo Lang hesitated for a moment. He saw the three hover cars nearby, and a thought came to him. He said, "There's no need to lift the ban. Aren't there still three intact hover cars over there? If you don't mind, then send one of them back to me. "
The white-clothed youth nodded vehemently and said, "I don't mind, of course I don't mind. You can choose any of these three hover cars."
Luo Lang smiled, but did not directly point out which car he wanted. He carefully lifted Yong-guang up, using him as a hostage to shield him from the other's path. Then, he carefully retreated, and when he was not far from the three hover cars, he suddenly leapt backwards to the side of one of the hover cars. Pulling open the door, he still kept Yong-guang in front of him as he slowly retreated into the car.
Luo Lang had just sat down when he saw that the other was still standing there, unmoving. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief — it looked like they really did not have any ill intentions. His grip on Yong-guang's hand loosened slightly.
Right then, Yong-guang, who had always been very cooperative with Luo Lang, felt the force around his neck weaken. With a sudden jerk, he successfully broke free from Luo Lang's grip, and his entire body fell towards the ground...
Luo Lang was shocked. Just as he was about to reach out and grab the other, he suddenly heard an extremely soft sound of mechanical friction. At the same time, a flash of silver light flashed before his eyes.
Luo Lang felt an unprecedented sense of danger. All the muscles in his body tensed up, but his many years of combat experience did not cause him to panic. His right leg kicked out, and Yong-guang, who was about to fall to the ground, was sent flying into the air. Using this rebounding force, he quickly slid into the hover car, wanting to dodge that silver light that made him feel threatened.
In the blink of an eye, even though Luo Lang's reflexes were extremely quick, he was still not faster than the speed of the silver light. Luo Lang wasn't able to dodge it completely. The silver light brushed past Luo Lang's right arm, drawing a stream of blood, quickly dyeing Luo Lang's green uniform red.
Luo Lang ignored the injury on his arm. As he slid towards the hover car, his right leg hooked onto the car door, and the car door closed. Luo Lang quickly pressed the lock button to lock the car door. Other than the people inside, if the people outside wanted to open the car door, they would have to destroy it violently.
After doing all this, Luo Lang calmly turned on his A.I., praying that he could successfully start the hover car and escape from this place before the other party destroyed it. Right then, no matter how stupid Luo Lang was, he knew that he had fallen into the other's trap. That white-clothed youth was full of lies, definitely not as sincere and pure as he appeared to be. He secretly hated himself for having such a good impression of the enemy so easily. In the end, he was careless and fell short of success, getting hurt by the enemy's plot.
Luo Lang decided that he would remember this bloody lesson. Next time, he would definitely not make such a stupid mistake...
Outside the hover car, the blue-clothed youth whose view was mostly blocked by the white-clothed youth lowered his hand in frustration. In his hand was an extremely intricate pocket-sized crossbow, and that silver light was the pocket-sized bolt that had been fired from the crossbow.
He put the crossbow away and said with a frown, "Brother Xi, what should we do now?" He hadn't expected Luo Lang to react so quickly despite his sudden attack, actually dodging it...
The white-clothed youth stared darkly at the now locked hover car, and huffed coldly, "What else can we do? Smash it. I don't believe he can escape from me."
He had been standing at the very front, so he had seen very clearly that when the bolt had brushed past Luo Lang, it had drawn a spray of blood — it had definitely wounded Luo Lang. He believed that with the things on the bolt, as long as there was a small scratch, it would be enough to keep the other here.
"Yes, Brother Xi!" After the others heard this, they quickly moved into action. They all ran to the other two hover cars and took out the metal clubs they had prepared beforehand. The military academy had very strict control over firearms, not allowing students to possess such powerful weapons outside of the classroom. Thus, the students all used these metal clubs in fights.
Seated in the hover car, Luo Lang watched nervously as the A.I. activated. He had already sensed that those people had already surrounded this hover car. Very soon, clanging sounds rang out from various parts of the hover car. Luo Lang knew that the other party was trying to destroy the car with brute force, trying to keep him here.
Time was of the essence — Luo Lang was so nervous that sweat beaded on his forehead. He stared fixedly at the A.I., so focused that he even ignored the slight numbness that had appeared on his right arm.
When the A.I. finally popped up with the information of the next destination, Luo Lang was overjoyed. As long as he successfully entered the address, the hover car would be able to take him away from this place... he was just about to raise his hand to enter the address when he found that his right arm could not move. His heart skipped a beat, but before he could think of the reason, he felt his vision blur and his entire body become heavy.
Not good! It was a special anesthetic! Luo Lang naturally knew what had caused this. There was no need to think — the silver beam that had injured him must have been smeared with a special anesthetic, otherwise he would not have shown symptoms so quickly.
Luo Lang did not hesitate to bite the tip of his tongue. Using the intense pain, he grabbed hold of his dissipating consciousness. He must successfully enter the address he wanted to go to at this last moment.
His right hand was already numb. Luo Lang gritted his teeth and struggled to raise his limp left hand to enter his lodging address, and then pressed the confirm button. When he saw the A.I. 'Destination: xxxxx, please press' yes' to confirm, press' no 'to ridicule, Luo Lang used almost all of his strength to press down hard on the' yes' button, and then he completely fainted.
In the virtual world, Little Four presented all of Luo Lang's movements after leaving the physical training hall to Ling Lan.
At 16: 09 pm, Luo Lang received a notification from the treatment centre. The content was as follows: Student Luo Lang, please be sure to arrive at the medical research centre by 17: 00 pm this afternoon for a final diagnosis. — — The treatment centre's main service desk.
At 16: 15 pm, Luo Lang took a hover car to the medical research centre.
At 16: 52 pm, Luo Lang appeared at the entrance of the medical research centre, meeting with a blue-clothed person.
At 16: 58 pm, Luo Lang and the blue-clothed person sat together in a hover car, destination still being searched...
At this point, Ling Lan frowned. "So, you still can't find any trace of Luo Lang?"
"The hover car has been tampered with by a hacker. The target entered has not been recorded in the mainframe's database. Right now, I need to search through all the surveillance equipment to find the hover car Luo Lang was in. This is a little more difficult, and will take a little more time." Little Four was meticulous in his answers to professional questions.
"Alright, Little Four, take your time." Even though Ling Lan was somewhat anxious, she did not want to show it and put too much pressure on Little Four.
Not long after, Little Four made another move. "Lu YongGuang, a third-year elite student of the hacker specialization..." Little Four found the identity of the blue-clothed person with Luo Lang.
"Has he joined any faction or faction?" Ling Lan perked up and asked hurriedly.
"The data in the mainframe shows that he has joined the Tianji Mecha Clan." Little Four quickly gave her an answer. In Little Four's eyes, the academy mainframe that was difficult for all hackers to hack into was like his own backyard. He could come and go as he pleased, and the data inside was as good as his own, able to be taken as he pleased.
"Tianji?" Ling Lan frowned slightly at these words. Ever since the Leiting Mecha Clan had lost the wager, the various factions had quieted down considerably. They were afraid that they would accidentally offend Leiting and give Leiting an excuse to vent their anger on them. If this matter was really Tianji's doing, why would they suddenly make a move at this sensitive time? Could it be that they wanted to use this opportunity to suppress Leiting and take over as the number one faction? Or perhaps some other faction had set up a trap, wanting to pit the New Cadet Regiment against Tianji? So that they could be the third party to reap the benefits?
Ling Lan had countless guesses in her mind. Even though she was unsure whether Tianji was the real culprit, she would not let the other off so easily. Thus, she said, "Little Four, without affecting the search for Luo Lang, can you take control of all the surveillance equipment in Tianji's headquarters?"
Little Four replied without hesitation, "No problem. Leave it to me." His voice had barely faded when multiple windows appeared before Ling Lan's eyes. There was a garden, a living room, a room, and also various passageways. Ling Lan understood that this was most likely the headquarters of the Tianji Mecha Clan. As expected, Little Four had no difficulty in taking control of the surveillance equipment currently in use.
Not all factions had their own headquarters. Only the top four clans in the academy would be given official locations of varying sizes as their headquarters according to their ranking. This was an honour unique to the clans. Thus, every year, the various major factions would engage in a cruel competition to fight for these four spots.
As the second largest faction in the academy, the headquarters given to the Tianji Mecha Clan by the academy was rather large. The security measures inside were also excellent — in the video feed, Ling Lan could occasionally see a patrol team.
However, Ling Lan was only looking around casually. Most importantly, she was still waiting for Little Four's final tracking results.
Time passed bit by bit. Not long after, Han Jijun and Lin Zhong-qing also finished their physical training classes and returned. After receiving this news, Han Jijun had Xie Yi contact Wu Jiong. Thus, the few of them sat patiently in the living room, waiting for Ling Lan to exit the virtual world.
As the sky grew darker and darker, the few of them began to feel restless. Boss Lan had not logged off for so long — did that mean that he had not found any useful information in the virtual world?
Xie Yi was the first to be unable to hold himself back. After all, Luo Lang had been with him at the very end — if he had been a little more alert back then and warned Luo Lang, perhaps this would not have happened. Feeling guilty, he suggested that they should have the New Cadet Regiment move out together to search for Luo Lang.
Wu Jiong was rather tempted by this suggestion. After all, he would not feel at ease just sitting here and doing nothing.
