Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr Adjutant Qiao's departure caused the senior colonel's lips to twitch, a trace of mockery flashing through his eyes. The general had already given this order, but this Adjutant Qiao was still so ignorant. It looked like when they got back, Adjutant Qiao would probably be laid off. He walked over to the JMC's position and watched as the JMC finished his work. Then, the general quickly piloted (Belief) out of the starship. Like a flash of light, it instantly cut through the starry skies, flying towards planet Newline. In just a few seconds, it had completely disappeared...
On the screen, only a crestfallen Adjutant Qiao was left.
"Senior colonel, what should we do now?" As the highest military rank after the general, he was originally the true commander of the assessment team, so the other officers could not help but ask for his opinion.
"What should we do? Of course follow the general to planet Newline. Also, send a report to the Federation mainframe about the dangers of planet Newline, "instructed the senior colonel. They could not let the general fight alone. They needed to get the mainframe to deploy a powerful fleet to help the general as soon as possible. Although he had confidence in the general, it was always better to be safe than sorry.
The other officers on the starship agreed wholeheartedly with the senior colonel's words. Thus, the starship quickly sent a report to the Federation mainframe, and at the same time, changed direction to follow Ling Xiao's mecha closely, flying swiftly towards planet Newline...
After 10 minutes of rapid marching, Ling Lan led the 100 or so members of the New Cadet Regiment, they finally arrived at the exclusive mecha storehouse of the First Men's Military Academy. All sorts of mecha of various levels were stored in the storehouse, used for practical mecha piloting practice by the cadets of the academy. Normally, they were locked up in the storehouse, not allowing students to touch them easily.
"Boss, the storehouse door has been broken open. Someone has already gotten in before us." As the vanguard team, Zilong led the other members of Ling Lan's team to take the lead, leading the way for the New Cadet Regiment. They were the first to come into contact with the main door of the mecha storehouse, and immediately found that the door that should have been tightly shut was actually not locked properly, leaving it ajar. Seeing this, Zilong quickly ran back to Ling Lan, who was holding the fort in the middle of the field, to tell her about the situation.
Ling Lan was stunned when she heard this. She frowned slightly and thought, "Could it be that someone has chosen the same way as her?"
Ling Lan had guessed this because the mecha in the mecha storehouse were all trainee mecha for the students, not proper battle armour. The weapons equipped inside were only the most conventional ones, and their power was much lower than that of proper battle armour. Most regular soldiers would not choose to fight with the mecha in the academy storehouse. The instructors of the academy had their own personal mecha, so they could not come here to pick them up. The only people who could come here to choose their mecha were the students of the military academy.
Ling Lan couldn't help but be curious about this student who had made the same choice as her. She didn't know who he was, but if she could make friends with him, Ling Lan wouldn't mind getting to know this like-minded classmate.
Ling Lan didn't know what was going on inside the warehouse, and she didn't want to cause any misunderstandings. She told the team leaders to keep as quiet as possible when they entered the warehouse.
The doors to the warehouse were pushed open by several people, and the new cadet regiment began to enter in an orderly fashion. The moment they entered the warehouse, they saw countless tall and mighty steel mecha standing before them. Everyone could not help but feel excited — they would soon be able to touch and operate these powerful combat weapons.
Ling Lan glanced at the mecha at the very front of the warehouse and found that they were all trainee mecha of the three major categories. Other than the necessary cold weapons, the trainee mecha were not equipped with any long-range firearms. Ling Lan decisively abandoned these mecha. These trainee mecha were obviously just target mecha — going out there would just be sending them to their deaths. She motioned for the members of the new cadet regiment to follow her and continue forward.
Because she had done her research beforehand, Ling Lan knew very well what the mecha piloting levels of the New Cadet Regiment members who came with her were in the virtual world. Those trainee mecha operators and low-level mecha operators had already been eliminated by her, leaving behind only intermediate mecha operator level and above.
It wasn't that Ling Lan looked down on those low-level students, but because low-level mecha operators were really too weak in actual combat. The casualty rate had reached 80%. Although the 20% who survived had the potential to become strong in the future, they still needed to survive.
Ling Lan believed that unnecessary sacrifices were not desirable. When these students' mecha operation level improved further, they could go into battle again. That way, there would be more survivors, and the future would be just as bright.
Therefore, for their safety, Ling Lan decisively eliminated these low-level mecha operators, leaving only intermediate mecha operators and above. This was also why the new cadet regiment had lost over 200 people in one go. To be able to advance to intermediate mecha warrior level in such a short time, they were bound to be some people with outstanding temperament and ability. As long as they were baptized by war, these people would grow even faster!
The mecha warehouse was pitch black and silent — no one could see the figures of the people who had just entered. When the first person stepped into the mecha warehouse, the sensor lights automatically lit up, and the initially dark mecha warehouse instantly became incomparably bright.
Although this situation gave some of the students who were not mentally prepared a fright, they remembered Boss Lan's instructions and did not make any sounds of panic. Then, seeing that the students beside them were still as calm as ever, they very quickly returned to normal. In the spacious mecha warehouse, only the orderly footsteps of the new cadet regiment could be heard.
Ling Lan led the way, walking quickly for three minutes, passing by the lower mecha area and soon arriving at the intermediate mecha area. Seeing that there were clearly several more powerful long-range and close-combat weapons than the other mecha, Ling Lan finally stopped in her tracks, satisfied.
"Students who have reached intermediate mecha warrior level in Mecha World, please choose a mecha you are familiar with." Ling Lan looked at the timetable on her communicator and then instructed, "Remember, you only have 10 minutes to familiarize yourself with your mecha. Once the time is up, you will be led out by your team leader. It's still the same words — when you see the enemy, stay calm. Pay attention to teamwork, and don't rush up rashly. Also, try your best to come back alive to see me! "
"Yes, Regiment Commander!" Ling Lan's words were exceptionally loud and powerful in the silent warehouse, stirring up the nearly 80 students who responded loudly.
With a wave of Ling Lan's right hand, these people quickly boarded the mecha they had chosen. These were the mecha they had always been incomparably familiar with in Mecha World. Of course, there were definitely some differences between the mecha in Mecha World and real mecha, but they were still generally the same. Familiarizing themselves with the mecha was not very difficult — this was also why Ling Lan had given them 10 minutes to familiarize themselves with the mecha.
Of course, no one would choose an unfamiliar mecha. Everyone knew that even if there was a better mecha than the one they operated, they would not choose it. This was because only a mecha they were familiar with could bring out the full potential of the mecha's combat power, and this would be the key to whether they could survive on the battlefield.
Students who could enter the Central Scout Academy were already the cream of the crop, and those who could consider the First Men's Military Academy were the most outstanding of them all. They did not lack rationality and calmness, so they knew what they should do.
Seeing these people busily familiarizing themselves with their mecha, Ling Lan nodded to herself. She turned to look at the remaining students beside her — there were only 35 of them left. Other than the 7 members of her team, there were 28 left. Among them, 21 were the team leaders of the various teams of the New Cadet Regiment.
Sure enough, those who could become team leaders were the most outstanding. Of the 27 teams of the New Cadet Regiment, only 6 team leaders had not reached this level. Of the remaining 6 advanced mecha operators, 4 were members of Wu Jiong's team, including Ye Xu, while the other 3 were from Li Yingjie's team. Without question, the strength of Wu Jiong's and Li Yingjie's teams was clearly stronger than the other teams.
Ling Lan silently acknowledged the strength of Wu Jiong's and Li Yingjie's teams, but she did not know that in the eyes of the members of Wu Jiong's and Li Yingjie's teams, Ling Lan's team was even more ridiculously strong.
When they saw the 7 people following closely behind Ling Lan walk towards the advanced mecha area, their expressions could not help but shift slightly, their eyes revealing a trace of shock and admiration. They were of course shocked that the members of Ling Lan's team had actually all reached the level of advanced mecha warrior (they were still unaware of the three newcomers, thinking that Ling Lan's team was still the original 6). At the same time, they were also sincerely convinced — Boss Ling Lan was indeed Boss Ling Lan — the team members under him were also ridiculously strong. Thinking about it, it was understandable. Boss Ling Lan was already so strong — if the members of his team were weak, what right did they have to follow him?
Just like that, Ling Lan led these 35 students into the advanced mecha area. Another 2 minutes passed, and then Ling Lan had the remaining members quickly board their mecha. Meanwhile, the time they had to familiarize themselves with their mecha became 8 minutes. Because they needed to meet up with the team members in the intermediate area, the time they had to familiarize themselves with the mecha could only be reduced accordingly because they had wasted 2 minutes. However, those who could advance to advanced mecha warrior were all geniuses who were extremely talented in mecha piloting. Familiarizing themselves with the mecha in 8 minutes would definitely not be a problem.
After explaining all this, Ling Lan ordered Little Four to contact Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie, telling them the area they were coming to. She also sent the coordinates of the mecha storehouse to the other party to prevent them from wasting time. After all, they also needed to familiarize themselves with the mecha — every second they had to familiarize themselves with the mecha would increase their chances of survival.
Fortunately, the direction of the air defence area was roughly the same as the mecha storehouse, just a slight turn. Because Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie had arrived first, they were not too late. According to their answers, they had just arrived at the storehouse. Based on their speed, they should be able to reach it in 3 minutes.
Ling Lan calculated for a moment. Based on Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie's abilities, the remaining 5 minutes should be enough for them to familiarize themselves with the advanced mecha. At this thought, she relaxed. She informed her team members and prepared to go alone to a secret space Little Four had discovered. That place was still inside, in the innermost area of the advanced mecha area. From the outside, it looked like they had reached the bottom, but in reality, behind that wall was a completely different world.
