"What words?" Zilong abruptly touched his own face, suddenly finding that his impatient nature was truly a form of torture when faced with someone as slow to react as [No Mecha Unrepaired].
"Boss Lan said that if we get separated, we should use the agreed upon pseudonyms to find each other …" Chang Xinyuan replied.
"Are you saying that Boss Lan will use a fake name? That's impossible. If Boss Lan really did infiltrate the Swift Dragon base, he would definitely have used the identity of one of those sacrificed soldiers. Otherwise, he would have been seen through by the other. "Zilong was the first to express his disbelief. Using a fake name... all they had to do was check the database and they would be seen through.
"But you all said that Boss Lan is a very capable hacker. Could it be that he can't change the database?" Chang Xinyuan was not very familiar with hackers, so he directly voiced out his thoughts.
"How can the database be changed so easily?" Zilong could not help but snicker. No matter how powerful a hacker was, they would not dare to do such a thing in the mainframe.
"No, perhaps [No Mecha Unrepaired] is right..." Han Jijun suddenly spoke up to interrupt Zilong.
Han Jijun's words immediately silenced Zilong. He trusted his best friend's judgment. He could only rub his nose helplessly and keep quiet.
"Boss Lan's hacker abilities are terrifying. I believe that everyone who understands Boss Lan's abilities knows this." Han Jijun's words made Zilong and the other three nod their heads furiously. Compared to Li Shiyu and Chang Xinyuan, who had only been with Ling Lan for a short period of time, the four of them had grown up with Ling Lan. They were very clear about Ling Lan's capabilities as a hacker.
"So, who can say that Boss Lan really can't change the database of the command mainship?" At this point, Han Jijun's eyes shone brightly. "I believe that Boss Lan must have considered our predicament. He will definitely add the pseudonym we agreed upon into the database, as well as the relevant information."
"If we reach the Swift Dragon base and someone really does come to verify our identities, we just have to report our fake identities to the higher-ups." Han Jijyun voiced his decision.
"What if Captain Ling Lan can't change it in time …" Li Shiyu didn't know much about Ling Lan's abilities so he was worried. He didn't think it was a good idea to rely on luck.
"Since we might be exposed no matter what we do, we might as well take a gamble. I believe in Boss Lan," Han Jijun replied firmly.
His words caused Zilong and the other three to agree. Seeing the determination in their eyes, Li Shiyu could only take back his doubts. He sighed and agreed. Chang Xinyuan, on the other hand, had no objections. As a mechanic who focused on researching and modifying mecha, as long as the team made the final decision, he would not have any other opinions.
Just like that, after a day and half a night, at 3 am in the morning, the mainship safely arrived at the Swift Dragon base.
The Swift Dragon base, who had long received the news, methodically arranged all the personnel of the mainship into a large camp. Under the instructions of the Swift Dragon base's military personnel, Zilong and the others calmly walked into the base.
They only took a few casual glances at the situation around them, and then stopped looking around. Still, those few glances made them secretly apprehensive, because every hundred steps they passed through the Swift Dragon base, there was a soldier on duty. It looked like the Swift Dragon base was extremely well-guarded in terms of manpower.
This was extremely rare in the Federation army which relied heavily on advanced technology. It should be known that most military bases relied on 360-degree surveillance cameras with no blind spots as their main means of surveillance. Very few bases were equipped with so much manpower.
Zilong and the others still looked unchanged on the surface, but deep down, they were already on guard. Trying to find their boss and complete the final mission under such tight security was definitely not going to be an easy task. They knew very well that under the tight surveillance of these personnel, there were also countless invisible electronic monitoring devices keeping an eye on them. As long as they showed even the slightest flaw, they would be discovered by the surveillance personnel of the Swift Dragon base, and the consequences would be unthinkable.
Due to the temporary arrangements, the base was unable to provide the survivors of the mainship with excellent accommodations. Regardless of military rank, they were all given a room for 10 people. Of course, for high-ranking personnel like the commander of the mainship, the conditions would naturally not be that bad.
Zilong's group of seven and the other three were assigned to a room to rest. They had just rested for several hours and had not fully recovered when they were jolted awake by a series of knocks on the door. It turned out that the logistics personnel of the Swift Dragon base had already run over to register their information.
Zilong and the others glanced at one another, and then Han Jijun indicated for them to continue their nap. One of the other three opened the door, grumbling. Han Jijun perked up his ears to listen carefully to their conversation.
Hearing that they were here to register their information, the attitude of the person who had opened the door also softened somewhat. He then stated his information: Logistical Leader of the Thunder Light Mecha Team of the Jinglong mainship of the Dragon River Transport Fleet, Yang Yilong!
After the logistics personnel of the Swift Dragon base keyed in the information, a smile appeared on his face. He immediately saluted and said, "Hello, Second Lieutenant Yang. I'm really sorry to have disturbed your rest."
Only then did Han Jijun open his eyes and glance at the other's epaulets. So that person's military rank was a corporal — no wonder his attitude had become so respectful. The status of the logisticians in the base was obviously not as high as the status of the logisticians on the warship. This was also why all soldiers aspired to be a warship soldier — their starting point was much higher than the ground troops.
At this time, the others were all startled awake. They all rubbed their eyes and yawned. Seeing this, the logistics personnel walked over to the bed closest to the door. The one lying there was Chang Xinyuan. Chang Xinyuan was rubbing his eyes, and when he saw the situation, his palms could not help but sweat. His hand that was rubbing his eyes also involuntarily stiffened.
Han Jijun, who was lying on the bed next to Chang Xinyuan, saw this and quickly yawned and said, "Register me first. The sooner I'm done, the sooner I can rest."
Seeing this, the logistics personnel of the Swift Dragon team hurried forward a few steps to Han Jijun's side.
"I am Ji Yinglong, member of the Cheetah Mecha Team of the Jinglong mainship of the Dragon River Transport Fleet." Han Jijun calmly listed out the information they had originally set up. The reason he had pretended to sleep at the beginning was because he hoped that one of the other three would register first. That way, they would know what the name of the mainship was. This was not much of a secret in the eyes of the official soldiers of the mainship, but for outsiders like them, they really did not know. Besides, he also wanted to know how to answer properly.
With Yang Yilong's answer, Han Jijun knew how he should answer.
Han Jijun's answer stunned Yang Yilong, the logistics team leader of the Leiguang Mecha Team, who was also on the Jinglong mainship. He looked at Han Jijun in surprise, but he obeyed the rules and did not ask. He also could not be sure whether his own mainship had this mecha battle clan that sounded so unfamiliar.
After receiving Han Jijun's answer, the logistics personnel of the Swift Dragon team entered this information into the search system of the Swift Dragon base, and then saluted and said, "First Lieutenant Ji, hello."
Seeing this, Han Jijun only returned the salute calmly, but inside his heart, he was shouting 'yes'. As expected, Boss Lan had changed the database; otherwise, the other would not have reacted this way. This further confirmed that Boss Lan had indeed survived the magnetic tsunami and had arrived at the Swift Dragon base unscathed.
Seeing Han Jijun successfully pass, the others were reassured. Han Jijun's answer also allowed them to understand what they should say.
Li Shiyu and Chang Xinyuan saw that Han Jijun had really passed safely, and could not help but click their tongues in amazement. They now had a new understanding of Ling Lan's hacker abilities.
Chang Xinyuan had already been impressed by Ling Lan's mecha piloting skills to begin with, and now he was even more impressed by Ling Lan's hacker abilities. Initially, he had not held much hope for the outcome of this mission, but now, he began to feel confident. Perhaps they really could complete this SSS-rank mission that no one in history had ever completed before... at this thought, Chang Xinyuan's heart thumped several times, but he quickly suppressed this thought.
Chang Xinyuan smiled wryly to himself. Being around Zilong and these other fearless youths, he had unknowingly begun to lose his composure, actually having such unrealistic thoughts... but if, really, just in case, really... Chang Xinyuan took a deep breath and decisively tossed the distracting thoughts in his mind to the back of his mind. He knew very well that this was just the beginning of the mission — even more difficult challenges were still to come.
Meanwhile, for the first time, Li Shiyu was facing Ling Lan squarely. The originally shameless and insidious Ling Lan in his mind began to form a positive image of him. As expected, to be able to become the boss of a region, he must have his own unique abilities...
The Swift Dragon logisticians checked everyone's information, and after confirming that there were no problems, they left the room. At that moment, Yang Yilong asked Zilong loudly, "Captain Luo (Zilong's pseudonym is Luo Ying), who would have thought that you would actually be the number two member of the Cheetah Mecha Battle Team? That's the ace of the battle team!"
Usually, number one was the team leader, number two was the main ace of the battle team, number three was the assistant ace, and number four was the main mecha operator. As for those below number five, it was uncertain. They might be logisticians, or they might still be main mecha operators. Although Yang Yilong felt that the name Cheetah Mecha Battle Team was very unfamiliar, he still expressed his admiration for Zilong.
Zilong scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, saying, "I'm not the ace. Our team leader is..."
His mellow face paired with this smile made him look somewhat silly, but also gave off the feeling that he was extremely pure and honest. Seeing this, Yang Yilong could not help but feel a great deal of goodwill towards Zilong.
Yang Yilong exchanged a few more words with Zilong, and when he heard that their team leader and number seven were still missing, he was instantly filled with regret. Seeing this, Zilong angrily expressed that he believed his team leader was definitely still alive. Zilong's display of absolute trust made Yang Yilong admire Zilong even more. The tiny bit of doubt in his heart disappeared with Zilong's performance.
Seeing this, Han Jijun sighed softly. When he had answered, he had been worried that the unfamiliar name of the battle team would cause these mainship members to be suspicious. Fortunately, Zilong's appearance was very deceiving — at least from Yang Yilong's current expression, he did not seem to be suspicious.
