Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr After walking for about a minute, Ling Lan suddenly stopped and gestured with her hands to indicate that there was someone ahead. The group, who had initially been somewhat relaxed due to Ling Lan's daring actions, instantly became cautious.
Ling Lan thought for a moment, and then decided to reveal her ability a little. Thus, she spread out her spiritual power, splitting it into eight tentacles and beginning to connect with the spiritual power of Zilong and the others.
Those who had awakened their innate talents all had higher spiritual power than those who had not. Moreover, Zilong and the others already had Ling Lan's spiritual power in their minds, so they were able to connect instantly. Meanwhile, [No Mecha Unrepaired] and [No Mecha Unrepaired] had awakened support innate talents and did not have much attack power. Thus, even though Ling Lan had wasted some time, she still managed to connect with them successfully.
However, the moment her spiritual power came into contact with Li Lanfeng, it would be swallowed up by the spectre power that Li Lanfeng had long ago deployed. Fortunately, the level of Ling Lan's spiritual power was extremely high, and she had a solid foundation. Even if it was swallowed up, she would not suffer much damage. Still, with her initially abundant spiritual power suddenly lacking a corner, Ling Lan still felt somewhat uncomfortable. She frowned, and then quickly circulated her spiritual power, instantly filling up that portion of spiritual power that had been swallowed up.
However, while Ling Lan did not feel anything on her end, Li Lanfeng's face had turned white with fright. He knew very well what his ability was. It was not the hacker ability he had told Ling Lan about, but the terrifying spectre power. The instincts of spectre power were to devour and obliterate — if Ling Lan suffered any permanent damage because of this, he would really regret it for the rest of his life.
Li Lanfeng was abnormally regretful. Perhaps he should have been honest with Ling Lan from the start about what his true ability was. Then, he would not have let Ling Lan recklessly use her spiritual power to connect with him now.
"Rabbit, are you alright?" In his panic, Li Lanfeng forgot about Ling Lan's warning and blurted it out.
Rabbit? This special form of address caused everyone's ears to perk up. Zilong and the others quickly exchanged glances, seeing the understanding in each other's eyes. As expected, their boss was the rabbit mecha that had caused a commotion in the newbie area.
Li Shiyu and Chang Xinyuan, on the other hand, were extremely shocked. They really couldn't associate the harmless and cute rabbit with Ling Lan.
"I'm fine!" Ling Lan, who was at the very front, instantly moved to the back. She used her index finger to press against Li Lanfeng's lips, her cold and sharp gaze warning Li Lanfeng to keep quiet. There were soldiers guarding the real exit in front of her. She wasn't sure if the other party was an NPC or a real person. If it was an NPC, Little Four could block all of this. However, if it was a real person, there was no guarantee that it would be foolproof. Therefore, Ling Lan didn't dare to be careless.
Feeling the warmth of Ling Lan's fingers on his lips, Li Lanfeng seemed to be frightened. He just stared blankly at Ling Lan's cold face that suddenly appeared in front of him, motionless.
"Lower your defences so that I can connect with your spiritual power." Ling Lan's voice seemed to ring out beside Li Lanfeng's ear. The warm breath caused Li Lanfeng's ear to redden, until it was a bright red.
After reminding Li Lanfeng, Ling Lan let her spiritual power extend and try to connect with Li Lanfeng's spiritual power. Meanwhile, with Ling Lan's reminder, Li Lanfeng desperately suppressed his restless spectre power. Only then did Ling Lan successfully connect with his spiritual power.
Very soon, the situation at the other end of the passageway was reflected in everyone's mindspace. This was the Divine Command sect's unique ultimate move — — Spiritual Sharing! Mind you, the reason Ling Xiao's battle clan was able to remain undefeated was largely because Ling Xiao also had this ability.
After successfully connecting with Li Lanfeng's spiritual power, Ling Lan used her spiritual power to order, "Zilong, Luo Lang, the two of you move out."
Hearing the order, Zilong and Luo Lang immediately moved out. Because of the spiritual power sharing, they knew that there were only two sentries at the other end of the passageway, so they knew their every move like the back of their hand. They controlled their footsteps so that they did not make any noise, quickly moving to the front of the passageway to hide, ready to attack at the most opportune moment.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Zilong and Luo Lang. None of them noticed that Li Lanfeng, who was at the very back, had his right hand quietly pressed against his chest, as if trying to calm something down.
In that instant when Ling Lan had approached him, Li Lanfeng, who had seen Ling Lan's face up close, suddenly realised that the rabbit was actually very good-looking... unsure whether it was out of shock or surprise, Li Lanfeng's heart actually thumped violently several times in that instant, his entire body temperature rising by several degrees...
However, Li Lanfeng's self-control was extremely strong, so he regained his composure after a few seconds. Right at this moment, Zilong and Luo Lang, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that the two sentries' gazes were no longer at the passageway entrance, and they abruptly darted out, like two deeply hidden cheetahs suddenly attacking their prey.
The two of them immediately used their left hands to cover each other's mouths, while their right hands gripped a miniature syringe, stabbing it viciously into each other's necks.
The miniature syringe had been prepared by Li Shiyu, and the special anesthetic in the syringe had also been provided by Li Shiyu. However, it had indeed been Ling Lan's instructions to turn a normal syringe into an offensive weapon that could even kill the four of them. Ever since Li Shiyu had joined the team, Ling Lan had never thought of letting Li Shiyu just be a medical doctor. Instead, she had made full use of Li Shiyu's medical knowledge to let Li Shiyu develop all sorts of medicinal weapons that could increase the team's combat strength and lethality, such as this simplest and most portable miniature anesthetic syringe.
The moment the two sentries' necks had been pierced, their final outcome had been announced. Li Shiyu's specially made anesthetic was even more powerful than the military's special anesthetic guns. Initially, Zilong and Luo Lang had been prepared to use all their strength to deal with the opponent's desperate counterattack, but unexpectedly, the moment the syringe had pierced the sentries, their initially tense muscles had suddenly relaxed, and they had fainted in the very next second.
Zilong and Luo Lang carefully placed the two sentries on one side of the passageway, while the others who had seen their success in the mindspace walked out of the passageway. When Zilong saw Li Shiyu come out, a greedy expression appeared on his face. In the mindspace, he made a request, "Senior Shiyu, that miniature anesthetic syringe you made is really too useful. Next time, please prepare a few more for us."
It was powerful, could instantly subdue an enemy, and was small enough to be carried around in large quantities — it could even be used as a hidden weapon. Towards this kind of useful and sneaky weapon, Zilong naturally coveted it. Unfortunately, the anesthetic in the miniature syringe could only be used once. The next time it was used, it would need to be refilled with anesthetic. Furthermore, Li Shiyu was more resistant to doing this, so each member of the team was only given three miniature anesthetic syringes. After using them, it would depend on when Li Shiyu was in a good mood and was willing to refill the syringe again... the sleeping agent was controlled by Li Shiyu — if he refused to do it, no one could do anything about it.
Hearing Zilong's reply, Li Shiyu's pale face instantly darkened. Hells, he was a military doctor, an angel who saved lives and cured illnesses, not a demon who specialized in making these harmful weapons...
"That's right, Senior Shiyu. With your anesthetic weapon, we don't need to kill anymore." Ling Lan calmly kicked the two unconscious soldiers lying on the ground. "You saved us from being tainted by evil. I don't know how to thank you." Ling Lan said words of thanks, but the gaze she looked at Li Shiyu was incomparably cold. It was as if she was telling Li Shiyu that it was fine if he didn't do it. At most, he would just let these youths commit crimes earlier and stain their hands with blood.
Li Shiyu bit his lips. Looking at the group of naive youths with expectant looks in their eyes, his heart softened once more. He replied, "Got it. When I have time, I will make some more for you. When you're done, come find me to refill the syringe."
Alright, Ling Lan had completely grasped the weakness in Li Shiyu's heart. Li Shiyu indeed could not bear to let these little juniors who had just entered their first year come into contact with killing and evil so early. They would have to bear the pressure and condemnation of their souls, becoming extremely terrified and unable to sleep at night.
Li Shiyu would never forget that in the Military Medical Research Centre, he had seen several cases of rookies who had just entered the battlefield. After killing for the first time, they had been unable to rid themselves of the guilt in their hearts, and had finally sunk into severe depression, even developing suicidal tendencies...
If Li Shiyu had known that these innocent and pure first year youths in his eyes had long before enrolling in the military, had already joined a civilian adventurer group, had come into contact with killing and had been stained with blood, and that their hearts had already become extremely strong and callous, he would definitely have regretted his decision. It should be said that Li Shiyu was like a kind and pure white rabbit. For the sake of this group of people who were just rabbits in his eyes but were actually wolves in rabbit skin, he had repeatedly refreshed his bottom line, overturning his original worldview, unknowingly evolving into a black rabbit...
Li Lanfeng saw that Li Shiyu had once again chosen to give in, and knew that his cute and pure younger brother was about to be gone. All sorts of feelings welled up in his heart, but he did not know what to say. In the end, he could only sigh...
Li Shiyu's reply made Zilong and the others cheer excitedly in the mindspace. Li Shiyu's initial gloomy mood instantly disappeared when he saw the happy expressions of these juniors.
Ling Lan, who had her back to them and seemed to be studying the door, smirked at the sight. How could this Dux Li be so gullible? They were both members of the Li family, but the leopard was much more two-faced...
Little Four did not open the door. He truthfully reflected the situation behind the door into Ling Lan's mindspace. Of course, Ling Lan immediately shared this information with her team members. The team members who had initially been in a state of excitement immediately calmed down, knowing that this was a difficult task. This was because behind the door, there were also two soldiers staring at the door from ten metres away. As long as the door was opened, they would know. And at a distance of ten metres, even if they chose to attack immediately, it would still be enough for them to react and activate the alarm.
"Boss, what should we do?" Everyone looked towards Ling Lan, waiting for Ling Lan's orders.
If this had been in the real world, Ling Lan would have been able to use a spiritual attack to knock down the other party. But now, in the virtual world, this killer move of hers was restricted. Just as Ling Lan was thinking of a perfect solution, Li Lanfeng opened his mouth to suggest, "Boss Lan and I are both hackers. We can make some disguises." He pointed at the two unconscious soldiers lying on the side and said, "The team will send out two people to disguise as these guards and stand at the door. Meanwhile, Boss Lan and I will disguise ourselves as people from the base and walk in. I think they won't suspect anything at first. As long as we can get a few steps closer to them, Boss Lan and I will have a chance to finish them off before they activate the alarm."
