Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Planet Qiming time 11 pm. On this unknown planet, although it was still daytime, the situation was terrible. One second, the sun was shining brightly, and the next, it was raining cats and dogs. The dark weather and heavy downpour caused the visibility of the mecha's screen to decrease rapidly. It was not much better than that night when they could not even see their own fingers.
Perhaps the weather was just too bad. Area P's originally busy airspace was now almost empty. Under these conditions, not a single mecha could be seen taking off or landing.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst the sound of the rain hitting the leaves and the ground, there seemed to be a few dull roars of engines. Perhaps the rain had blocked out these sounds, or perhaps the engines were moving at low speed. At this moment, the sounds were vague, making it hard to tell if they were real or fake …
A few seconds later, a team of mecha teams could be seen flying above Area P at a constant speed. The route they took was very ingenious. They actually avoided a large area where there was a base camp and passed through an area where there was no one.
Xie Yi stared closely at his mecha's screen. Other than the misty rain, there was nothing else on the screen, including his teammates in front of him. He knew they were right in front of him, but he could not see any of them. The only thing he could feel was the flashing green signal on the radar that represented his teammates. This proved that he was not alone in this rainstorm …
The silent environment and the loneliness of not being able to see his teammates made Xie Yi, who had always liked a lively atmosphere, feel irritated. Finally, after a few minutes, he could not stand the depressing atmosphere and scolded in a low voice, "F * ck, this damned weather is so f * cking annoying! “
"Although the outside environment is indeed a little bad, we are in the mecha. Other than our vision being affected, there are no other problems." A gentle voice rang out in the team channel. It was Li Lanfeng, who had always been good-tempered.
Hearing this, Xie Yi's face turned red. It turned out that he had forgotten to turn off his communication microphone. His impatient voice had been heard by the entire team … sob sob sob, the sunny boy image he had always tried to maintain was completely ruined now! Xie Yi was very upset.
"Yes, and because of this weather, the mecha in the sky above Area P are obviously much lesser. It's just enough for us to pass through without too much interference. I think this is our luck. This rain is really good." Luo Lang's soft voice rang out in the team's comms channel. "Xie Yi, be patient. This isn't like you." Luo Lang's tone carried a hint of confusion. Perhaps the image of Xie Yi as a sunny and reliable brother in front of Luo Lang was too deeply etched in his mind. He was unable to accept the impatient and irritated Xie Yi at the moment.
"Ha, don't I like it when it's lively? It was so quiet just now that I felt very uncomfortable and irritated. I'm really sorry, everyone. " Xie Yi hurriedly explained and apologized. He had to save his image. He couldn't let Luo Lang and his friends down.
"When I didn't speak just now, I did have the illusion that I was the only one left in the world," Zilong interjected casually.
"It was so quiet that it was suffocating." Xie Yi laughed bitterly.
At that moment, Ling Lan, who was leading the way, heard this and had a thought. Could it be that the sunny Xie Yi also had a story behind him?
Perhaps because he felt that Xie Yi was sensitive to the silence, Luo Lang tried to find a topic to talk about. "Boss, is it really okay to just leave the headquarters like this?" Alright, in reality, he was also a little uneasy.
"It's fine. We have two special-class mecha battle teams formed by the cooperation of other mecha clans. In addition, we have Wu Jiong, Li Yingjie, Ye Xu, and Lin Zhong-qing to form a logistical battle team. We also have Jijyun to stay behind and give advice. As long as the opponent isn't an ace level mecha master, this arrangement is enough to deal with it," Ling Lan replied calmly.
"Jijyun's luck is really bad!" Ling Lan's words made Zilong sigh.
Li Lanfeng had a slight smile on his face. A hint of satisfaction flashed through his eyes. For this trip, Li Lanfeng had actually used some tricks. He had used his innate talent to forcefully influence Han Jijun's judgement. That was how he had won against the other party and made him stay in the headquarters.
He didn't know if Han Jijun had realized what he had done. However, no matter how angry the other party was and how despicable he was, he would still do it. He didn't want to miss any chance to go on a mission with the rabbit. This was Li Lanfeng's obsession. If he missed it in the past, he would have missed it for the rest of his life. Now, he didn't want to miss it even once.
As the strategist of Lingtian, one of Li Lanfeng and Han Jijun had to stay behind to guard the headquarters. Since Li Lanfeng didn't want to stay behind, then it could only be Han Jijun.
This time, there were only six people going with Ling Lan. They were Li Lanfeng, Zhao Jun, Zilong, Luo Lang, Xie Yi, and Li Shiyu.
Han Jijun had been arranged by Li Lanfeng to stay behind to guard the headquarters. Chang Xinyuan had to lead a modification team to modify all sorts of equipment and weapons in the headquarters. He was so busy that even if he wanted to follow, he couldn't. Meanwhile, Lin Zhong-qing was in charge of the logistics of the entire team and also couldn't leave to follow Ling Lan. This made the other three feel very regretful. They believed that following Boss on a mission would definitely be more fun and exciting than staying behind at the headquarters.
Seeing that they were about to fly past Area P and reach Area S, Luo Lang asked in confusion, "Boss, isn't our target Area P this time?"
"No!" Ling Lan replied decisively.
"Then what area is it?" Luo Lang continued to ask.
"Go to Area S first!" Ling Lan told her team members the answer.
"Isn't Qiao Ting in charge of Area S?" Ling Lan's words made Li Lanfeng pause. He still remembered that in the operation plan they had come up with together, Qiao Ting was fully in charge of Area S. Could it be that the rabbit was worried that Qiao Ting was weak alone? Was that why he had come to help?
However, if even the 24 special-class mecha led by Qiao Ting couldn't solve the problem, then even if the seven of them came to help, they wouldn't be of much use. Although the rabbit was an ace operator like Qiao Ting, he had hidden his true strength and was piloting a special-class mecha. In addition, there were special-class operators and advanced operators among the seven of them, so their strength was uneven. Compared to Qiao Ting's battle team, they were too weak.
"Area S is still under Qiao Ting's control. I just want to borrow a path in Area S," Ling Lan explained.
"Borrow a path?" Luo Lang's face was filled with confusion, while the others fell into deep thought. At the end of the day, other than the original Luo Lang who was somewhat simple-minded, the others were not simple characters. They all had their own plans.
"Is it Area Q? Or Area M? " The map of the battle royale appeared in Li Lanfeng's mind. He recalled the headquarters of those military academies that Ling Lan had memorized. Suddenly, the Second Men's Military Academy in Area Q appeared in his mind. Li Lanfeng instantly cried out, "Could it be for the Second Men's Military Academy in Area Q?"
Li Lanfeng's words made the corners of Ling Lan's mouth curl up slightly. She was very satisfied. She realized that Li Lanfeng knew her thoughts very well. He would be able to guess her thoughts eight or nine times out of ten. It looked like Li Lanfeng had truly put his heart into their intimate interactions when they were young. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to understand her so well.
Thinking of Li Lanfeng's body that was extremely weak due to his spirit being too strong, she couldn't help but feel pity for him. Because Li Lanfeng's bodily functions had already matured, the effects of the Qi exercises weren't as good as when Ling Lan was young. If he wanted to recover to his peak condition, he might need five to six years or even ten years. Ling Lan had also just discovered this problem. If Li Lanfeng's goal wasn't to become a powerful mecha operator, then it wouldn't matter if he recovered a bit slower. However, Li Lanfeng's goal was very clear, and that was to become a powerful mecha operator. Thus, ten years of recovery seemed too long.
The best time for a mecha operator to evolve was between the ages of 20 to 30. If Li Lanfeng's body condition could only reach its peak after the age of 30, then he would have already missed the best time for him to evolve. This would have a huge impact on his future development …
It looked like she needed to spend some time and energy to completely solve the problem of Li Lanfeng's body condition before he reported to the division! Ling Lan thought to herself.
Only now did Ling Lan truly take Li Lanfeng's matter to heart. For the past year or so, Li Lanfeng's wholehearted, sincere, and outstanding performance had finally paid off. He had become the first person to enter Ling Lan's heart after Zilong and the others who had grown up with her. This was truly worthy of celebration.
Zhao Jun heard Li Lanfeng's exclamation and frowned slightly. "Didn't you say that the Second Men's Military Academy would be in the hands of the First Co-ed Military Academy?" He, who had been at the scene the whole time, had clearly heard the alliance agreement between Ling Lan and Lin Xiao. If Boss Lan suddenly went back on his word and interfered, wouldn't the First Co-ed Military Academy be unhappy and cause the alliance between the two sides to completely collapse?
Hearing this, Ling Lan's lips curled up again. She said calmly, "When I said 'deal', I meant that I agreed to the alliance between the two schools. I didn't say that I agreed to give the Second Men's Military Academy to them."
How could Ling Lan let the Second Men's Military Academy go? Those who dared to touch her people, no matter if it was her younger brother or sister, would have to be prepared to pay a painful price. Tianji's headquarters was like this back then, and this time, the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters was also like this. From the start of the Mecha Tournament, Ling Lan didn't want the Second Men's Military Academy to get a single point in the battle royale. Yes, she had long since made up her mind to be the first to kick the Second Men's Military Academy out of the battle royale. This was also one of the reasons why she had traveled thousands of miles from the northernmost part of the map to the southernmost part. It wasn't for the so-called points or tactics.
Ling Lan was just this kind of pure person!
Ling Lan's words made the others remember the scene from back then. As expected, it was just as Ling Lan had said. She hadn't promised the First Co-ed Military Academy anything. When she said 'deal', it could be understood that she had agreed, but it could also be understood that she had only agreed to the alliance between the two schools.
As expected, Boss was two-faced! Zilong and the others were all worried. They decided that in the future, when they listened to Boss, they would have to be more vigilant so that they wouldn't be betrayed by Boss and still be counting money for him.
When Zhao Jun heard that they were going to attack the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters, he instantly became excited. If they could really take down the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters, then that would definitely be a huge and exciting event. He hadn't forgotten that they had already been pushed to second place by the Second Men's Military Academy for seven consecutive tournaments. This humiliation had already been deeply engraved into the bones of every student of the First Men's Military Academy.
However, after calming down from his excitement, Zhao Jun's face fell. Faced with an ace operator like Jiang Shaoyu at the helm, there were at least 5 to 6 mecha battle teams protecting their headquarters. Could the 7 of them really take it down with just the 7 of them?
He smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, with just the seven of us, isn't it … too difficult to take down the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters?"
Hearing this, Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "Actually, there's something I've always been curious about. That is, why is everyone's attention focused on the mecha battles in the battle royale?" Ling Lan once again touched the little thing in her pocket. She really did want to try and see if what she was thinking was true or not.
"You're saying, sneak in alone? That … is too dangerous, "Li Lanfeng, who understood Ling Lan, instantly understood what Ling Lan was thinking and objected agitatedly.
Why did the battle royale become a mecha battle royale? It was because in a mecha battle, mecha operators wouldn't be easily injured or die with the protection of mechas. However, once they gave up on their mechas and relied on their physical bodies to sneak into the battle, not only would they not be able to defend against all kinds of artillery and weapons, but with the harsh environment of the planet, without the protection of mechas, it would be difficult to even move an inch. Li Lanfeng definitely wouldn't let Ling Lan take the risk alone.
"Don't be nervous. I won't do it unless it's absolutely safe," Ling Lan could feel Li Lanfeng's concern and worry, so she immediately opened her mouth to comfort Li Lanfeng.
As expected, it wasn't good to be understood too well by others. She had only revealed a little and Li Lanfeng had already noticed! While Ling Lan was gratified, she also felt a bit of a headache. She was better at attacking people rather than comforting them …
Ling Lan's words only made Li Lanfeng sigh in his heart. He knew that once the rabbit had made a decision, it definitely wouldn't change its mind. In addition, he was already a Domain stage physical skills master. The environment's influence on Domain stage masters was already very weak. Furthermore, even if he was up against a special-class operator, even if a Domain stage physical skills master couldn't win, escaping wouldn't be a problem. In reality, even if he wanted to object, he didn't have any valid reason to object to Ling Lan's decision.
The seven of them quickly arrived at a corner of Area P close to Area S. Ling Lan suddenly stopped her mecha and said, "Find a place to hide immediately. Shut down your mecha. If I don't move, no one else is allowed to move."
That said, she was the first to operate her mecha to land on the ground. She found a large tree with dense foliage and hid inside it. Zilong and the others reacted quickly, quickly finding a suitable place for themselves to hide in. At the same time, they shut down their mecha's engines and silently hid.
After about 10 minutes, a mecha battle team rushed over from the south-east.
This scene made Zilong and the others, who were hiding at the side, feel shocked. Even Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng were shocked. They were all special-class mecha, so why was Ling Lan able to discover this mecha battle team but not them? Could it be that Ling Lan's special-class mecha was different from theirs? Or perhaps Ling Lan had some other secret?
These questions only flashed through Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun's minds. They immediately focused on circulating their physical skills to lower their body temperature to the lowest point they could endure, and their blood flow also began to slow down to the lowest point. A mecha with its engines shut down had no isolation devices or protective devices. The mecha operator's body temperature and the energy produced by their blood flow could easily be detected by the mecha's thermal sensors. In order to avoid exposure, lowering one's body temperature and blood flow was something every mecha operator needed to do.
Fortunately, quite a few of them had decent physical skills, so they were almost all able to control their body temperature and blood flow. Of course, it was also possible that these mecha did not have thermal sensors installed, or perhaps they only had their radars activated. Radars were very sensitive to mecha's engines, but unfortunately were ineffective against the human body … in any case, this battle team did not discover them. After circling above them for a while, they flew away.
Ling Lan and the others did not move. They maintained their original position, not moving at all. After about 10 minutes, the mecha battle team that had already left flew back. They circled a few more times before slowly flying back in the direction they had come from.
Ling Lan was very patient. She waited patiently like this. 10 minutes passed, 20 minutes passed, 30 minutes passed. The others were almost losing their patience. If they had not seen Ling Lan hiding in some corner and not moving at all, Zilong and the others would have thought that Ling Lan had already left.
Another 10 minutes passed. Xie Yi, who was very resistant to this kind of silent environment, was just about to press the button to start his engine when Ling Lan's cold voice suddenly rang out in his mind, "If I don't move, no one else is allowed to move!"
Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. He quickly retracted his finger, and his initially frustrated heart calmed down once more.
"Looks like Boss has already found out." After returning to normal, Xie Yi understood everything. He instantly smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps I should discuss this with Boss Lan. Hopefully, he has a way to solve this problem of mine." He had always pretended to be a sunny side of himself, but in the end, he was just fooling himself.
At this moment, Xie Yi was once again envious of Luo Lang. Luo Lang, who had so many personalities, was actually able to maintain the purity of his original body and not be corrupted. To Xie Yi, this was definitely a miracle. On the other hand, he only had one more personality, but it had interfered with his original self. Moreover, this problem had become more and more serious as time passed.
It was also at that time that he liked to follow Luo Lang around. Seeing Luo Lang's original body smiling happily and living without restraint, whether it was talking, laughing, or scolding, it would make him feel happy. This made him feel that his problem was actually not serious at all. He felt that he could overcome the side that was interfering with him. He felt that his future was still full of hope …
Yes, he liked that pure Luo Lang. He hoped that he could be like Luo Lang, not being affected by his original self. He wanted to be that pure self. It could even be said that Luo Lang was the reason why he had persisted until now!
"I won't admit defeat!" Luo Lang's unbridled smile once again appeared in Xie Yi's mind. Xie Yi clenched his fists tightly. If Luo Lang could do it, he would definitely be able to do it too.
In Xie Yi's heart, he could lose to anyone but Luo Lang. If he could not even win against that delicate and beautiful Luo Lang, how could he still have the face to stay in Boss Lan's battle clan?
Everyone had their own bottom line, and Luo Lang was Xie Yi's bottom line that he could not lower his head to …
Perhaps it was because of Ling Lan's mental attack, or perhaps it was because Xie Yi's boundless fighting spirit had once again been ignited in his heart, but the negative emotions that had been interfering with Xie Yi rapidly weakened, and Xie Yi regained his original tolerance …
Another ten minutes passed very quickly. At this time, the downpour began to lessen. Two to three minutes later, it was no longer rain that fell from the sky, but a terrifying hail.
The weather immediately changed from hot summer to cold winter. Because the mecha's engine was not turned on, the thermostat could not be activated. The temperature in the mecha's cockpit dropped rapidly, directly dropping to negative 10 degrees. Ling Lan could not help but frown at this. Her innate talent was Ice Affinity. No matter how low the temperature was, it would not affect her, but it was different for her team members …
Zilong's physical constitution was strong, so Ling Lan was not worried. Zhao Jun was the same — he should be able to withstand this bit of cold. Luo Lang had multiple personalities. If he really could not bear it, he could activate another personality to withstand the cold. Xie Yi's physical constitution was not bad either. Even if he suffered a bit, it would not affect him much. Li Shiyu was a military doctor, so he would definitely have a way to withstand the cold. What worried Ling Lan was Li Lanfeng — with that lousy body of his, could he really withstand this low temperature?
Ling Lan's fingers subconsciously rubbed together. She considered whether she should continue waiting. This sudden situation made her hesitate. Should she stick to her original plan, or should she take the risk for the sake of Li Lanfeng's body?
"Boss, do you still remember the introduction to planet Qiming?" Just as Ling Lan was hesitating, Little Four suddenly spoke up.
"I remember that the specialty of planet Qiming is that you can experience the cycle of the four seasons in a single day." When she had first seen this, she had been surprised and had looked forward to experiencing it for real. However, during this period of time on planet Qiming, the temperature had always been around 20 degrees. The weather was so good that she had forgotten that planet Qiming had this specialty.
"Right now, I'm wondering if we're still on planet Qiming," said Little Four.
Ling Lan was shocked at this. "Didn't you say that the route and coordinates are no longer related to planet Qiming?"
"Yes, the coordinates and the route of the starship have all deviated from the known coordinates of planet Qiming. However, in the records of our Mandora star system, there was once a strange planet called the Gemini Star!"
"Gemini Star? The Gemini constellation of the twelve constellations? " Little Four's words stunned the usually calm Ling Lan. The Gemini constellation — wasn't that the legendary constellation? Could it be that there really was a Gemini constellation in the real world?
Little Four understood what Ling Lan was talking about. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Boss, it's not the Gemini Star mentioned in the constellation. Actually, it's a bit correct. That is to say, in the vast sea of stars, if there are two planets that are more than 99% similar in terms of climate, resources, life forms, and other things … these two planets will be called the Gemini Star."
At this point, Little Four realized that he had missed the most important point and hurriedly added, "Also, these two planets are on a star map. If they are opposite or connected to each other, they will be called the Gemini Star or a fake Gemini Star."
"You're saying that we might have come to planet Qiming's Gemini Star? Little Four, open the star map where planet Qiming is, "Ling Lan hurriedly instructed.
