Shen Rufei's expression changed when he heard Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun's words. He exclaimed, "What? You're from Lingtian? "
Shen Rufei's exclamation surprised everyone. They realized that they didn't hear wrongly. The two of them really said that they were from Lingtian. How was that possible? They couldn't find such a battle team in the 23rd Division. Did their team leader go to another division? If that was the case, they wouldn't be able to join a battle team unless they were from the same division.
Everyone was confused. They didn't know if Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng wanted to stand up for their junior or if they had really joined the non-existent Lingtian.
In reality, for the past few years, Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng had rejected the recruitment of all battle teams and announced to the public that they had a battle team. This was because no one had seen them activate their battle team totem. This caused everyone to think that Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng were just making excuses. In reality, they wanted to officially join the Nameless battle team. Hence, they used such words to prove their loyalty to the Nameless battle team.
Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng didn't reply to Shen Rufei's question. Li Lanfeng stood at the side with a faint smile on his face. Zhao Jun held a chair leg and walked towards Shen Rufei slowly.
Shen Rufei was the commander of a mecha clan and was an ace operator. However, his physical skills were only at the late stage of Qi-Jin. Zhao Jun was at the peak stage of Qi-Jin. Even if he fought Shen Rufei alone, he would be able to defeat him easily.
Shen Rufei knew that his physical skills couldn't be compared to Zhao Jun's. If they fought, he wouldn't be able to win. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He started to regret coming here personally. He should have sent an assistant over. Even if he got rejected, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Could it be that he was really going to lose all his face here? Shen Rufei could almost see his future. He would be humiliated in the 23rd Division. He would never be able to raise his head again. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead as he thought of an idea. He shouted loudly, "The 23rd Division doesn't have a Lingtian Battle Team. Zhao Jun, don't try to persuade me. You have no right to challenge me." He turned around and glared at the team on duty. "How are you guys doing your job? Zhao Jun is trying to take revenge on me. Shouldn't you stop him?"
The team leader on duty didn't want to get involved in this matter. Most of the officers had a higher military rank than him. However, Shen Rufei didn't allow him to do so.
The team leader on duty looked at the staff helplessly. The staff member immediately checked the optical supercomputer. He shook his head and told the team leader that there was no information about the Lingtian Battle Team in the system. Shen Rufei was right. Zhao Jun didn't have the right to challenge Shen Rufei.
The team leader on duty coughed and said, "Major Zhao Jun, I'm sorry. The Lingtian Battle Team doesn't exist in the system. You can't challenge Senior Colonel Shen Rufei."
The team leader on duty looked calm but he was crying in his heart. Both of them were stronger than him. How could he stop them?
Shen Rufei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the captain's words. However, he was immediately enraged. "Zhao Jun, how dare you humiliate me like this …"
"You have a problem with that? You can challenge me to a duel! " Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows in disdain. Since Shen Rufei dared to humiliate Lingtian, it meant that they couldn't get along with him. Although Shen Rufei had a powerful background, he had Ling Lan as his backing. Zhao Jun wasn't afraid of him at all.
His boss was the heir of the 23rd Division. This was great. Zhao Jun finally experienced the feeling of relying on one's father, boss, and background. It felt great! Huh? He seemed to have fallen. Back then, he hated this kind of second-generation heir who had a strong background. He didn't expect that one day, he would be willing to be the heir's henchman. He even sat there happily ….
Zhao Jun looked down on himself. Then, he looked at Shen Rufei with disdain. He seemed to be saying, 'Bite me if you're angry.'
Zhao Jun's expression almost made Shen Rufei explode. Some of the officers who didn't have a good impression of Shen Rufei laughed when they heard what Zhao Jun said. They admired Zhao Jun for not being afraid of authority. It should be known that they didn't dare to express their dislike of Shen Rufei so directly.
Alright, with Shen Rufei's capabilities, he didn't have the right to be the commanding officer of a mecha clan. However, he still got the position because he had a powerful background. Many people didn't like it but they could only suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts. This was why when Zhao Jun mentioned a duel, even if some people noticed the loophole in Zhao Jun's words, they still pretended to ignore it.
Shen Rufei wanted to beat up Zhao Jun, who was three ranks lower than him, but he wasn't Zhao Jun's match. He could only swallow his anger and humiliation. His gaze turned vicious. His originally righteous face was instantly destroyed.
Many people started to worry for Zhao Jun when they saw Shen Rufei's twisted expression. Those who knew Shen Rufei knew that he would definitely do something after he went back. However, when they thought about Nameless behind Zhao Jun, they felt that the powerful Nameless should be able to protect his team members.
The timer on the registration hall rang again. Shen Rufei looked at Zilong and the others coldly. All of this was caused by these people. If they had happily agreed to join his mecha clan at the start, none of this would have happened and he wouldn't have lost so much face.
Shen Rufei decided that he wouldn't let Zilong and the others off. He said coldly, "There's still one hour left. Prepare yourselves and wait to join my mecha clan."
Zilong and the others remained calm. They weren't affected by Shen Rufei's words. Only Li Yingjie's expression changed slightly. Zilong and the others still had Ling Lan to rely on but he wasn't a member of the Lingtian Battle Team. In reality, he didn't have a battle team. Was he really going to fall into Shen Rufei's hands?
Just as Li Yingjie's heart was burning with anxiety, a handsome young man suddenly appeared at the door, attracting everyone's attention. This was because he was the only one who wasn't wearing a military uniform, only a set of sterile clothes with a white coat on the outside …
Those who knew the uniforms of the military would know that this person was a military doctor. Furthermore, he was a military doctor with a high status. A white coat wasn't something that could be casually worn out of the hospital. Those who had the right to wear it must have achieved great results in the medical field.
All the officers felt their buttocks tighten when they saw this person.
Li Yingjie's eyes lit up when he saw this person.
That person looked around and saw Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng. He quickly walked towards them. He was the famous Ghost Doctor Li Shiyu in the 23rd Division. He was a pain in the ass for countless low-level officers but they didn't dare to offend him.
"Why is there no news yet?" Originally, he wanted to come with Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng. However, before they left, an emergency patient was sent to the hospital. The hospital director didn't have much confidence so he dragged him into the operating theater and asked him to monitor the entire process. He had no choice but to wait for the surgery to end before he could leave. As he was in a rush, he didn't have time to change into his military uniform. He just put on a white coat and rushed over.
Li Lanfeng shook his head. Li Shiyu had a worried expression on his face. "Do you think our captain will …" He didn't say the word 'fail'. He felt that Ling Lan was not destined to fail. However, he knew that in all these years, there had never been a new recruit who had successfully formed a battle team. This made Li Shiyu a little worried. He wanted to believe in Ling Lan, but he was also afraid that this mission would be an impossible mission and that his team leader would return empty-handed.
"No, he can definitely do it," Li Lanfeng said firmly. He knew Ling Lan very well so he knew that Ling Lan would either not do it or not. If he did, he would definitely be prepared. He would definitely not fight a battle that he wasn't confident in.
Li Lanfeng, who was confident in Ling Lan, turned and said to Zilong and the others, "Go and register. Then, wait patiently for the good news from your captain."
Zilong nodded. He was the first to register. He was the same as Li Lanfeng. He didn't think that Boss would fail. It didn't matter if they registered early or late. They just needed to join their battle team before the registration ended.
Zilong brought a group of people to register. Li Yingjie's team members were very nervous. They didn't have a battle team. In the end, they would definitely be split up by the mainframe and distributed to the various battle teams in the division. They liked to follow Li Yingjie and show off their strength. However, they didn't have the confidence to fight alone.
They grabbed Li Yingjie and wanted to ask for his opinion.
Li Yingjie kicked them in annoyance. "How would I know? At most, you guys will just go to the big teams and mess around. Your captain, I, might very well fall into his hands. At that time, I might not even be able to come back alive." He lifted his chin and signaled his team members to look at Shen Rufei, who had a gloomy expression on his face. He told them that their captain's situation was worse than theirs.
"What should we do?" His team members suddenly thought of their captain's predicament. They started complaining softly. Although they were birds of a feather and had been together ever since they were in the Scout Academy, they had never done anything good. Although they had done a lot of annoying things, no matter what, this was still a kind of "revolutionary" friendship. This made the team members really worry about Li Yingjie's future.
"Captain, why don't you join Boss's team?" One of his team members suggested to Li Yingjie.
"Huh? You want me to be Ling Lan's subordinate? No, no. I'm an arrogant person. How can I be someone's subordinate? "Li Yingjie shook his head furiously.
When Li Yingjie wasn't paying attention, his team members secretly looked at him with disdain. 'Damn it, you have already submitted to Boss. Why are you still so stubborn?'
However, since Boss had protected them for so many years, his team members decided not to expose his lie. They looked at each other and decided to trick their captain for his safety.
"Captain, this is a strategy. Do you understand?" One of his team members said seriously.
"Strategy?" Li Yingjie blinked his eyes in confusion.
"Use Boss to get through this difficult situation. If you want to do things alone in the future, you can come out. When you successfully activate your battle team, we will definitely join you." One of his team members started persuading him.
"Is that possible?" Li Yingjie was tempted. That's right. He had been suppressed by Ling Lan for so long. If he could successfully plot against Ling Lan, wouldn't he be able to take revenge? Damn it, this idea was too cool.
"Of course, ace operators have the right to make their own decisions. They can leave the main team and form their own battle team …" One of his team members said guiltily. He remembered that this was something a team member had when they advanced to ace level. He didn't know if they would still have this right after they became ace level. However, his captain didn't pay attention to such small matters so he definitely didn't know.
As expected, Li Yingjie nodded his head and didn't really reject this suggestion.
The team members saw that victory was in sight so they all added fuel to the fire. In the end, Li Yingjie was fooled by his team members' words and decided to join Lingtian first to avoid this crisis.
Li Shiyu glanced at his cousin, Li Yingjie, who had always been on bad terms with him, actually waved at him secretly. What was going on? He walked over suspiciously and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"This … this …" Li Yingjie didn't know how to explain to his cousin who he had always looked down on.
"You don't want to say? Then forget it. " Li Shiyu glanced at him and prepared to leave. Speaking of which, for the sake of his eldest cousin, he didn't have a good relationship with his cousin. He was already giving him face by coming over to look at him. How could he still ask him to speak?
Just as he took a step forward, he felt his white coat being tugged.
Li Shiyu glanced at the hand that grabbed his white coat and said coldly, "Let go!"
"No!" Li Yingjie raised his chin and said firmly.
Li Shiyu tried to pull his coat but he realized that Li Yingjie's grip was really tight. If he really used force, his white coat would definitely be torn apart. If he took another one, he would have to spend money.
Li Shiyu, who was influenced by Lin Zhong-qing, understood the importance of being thrifty. Thus, he controlled his anger and turned around. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you one more chance! Tell me, what do you want? "
Li Yingjie knew that he couldn't back down now. Thus, he quickly said, "Help me tell Boss Lan that I want to join the Lingtian Battle Team!"
Li Shiyu dug his ears. "What did you say?" Did he hear wrongly just now? The arrogant and overbearing Li Yingjie who thought that he was the most powerful person in the world actually wanted to join Boss Lan? Did the sun rise from the west?
Li Shiyu acted as if he didn't hear anything and instantly angered Li Yingjie. "I said, I want you to tell Boss that I want to join the Lingtian Battle Team. Do you hear me?"
Li Yingjie's team members all covered their faces. This idiot was definitely not their leader! Yes, yes, yes, he wasn't. In the future, it would be Boss's responsibility. The team members felt that they made a very accurate decision. At least, they wouldn't be the one to be embarrassed.
Li Yingjie realized that everyone in the registration hall was looking at him. Instantly, his face turned red. He looked at Li Shiyu with hurt eyes and complained, 'Brother, how dare you trick me!'
For the first time, Li Shiyu actually felt that Li Yingjie was very cute. He couldn't help but touch Li Yingjie's hair and said, "I know, I will tell Boss."
"Don't touch my hair, you bastard!" Li Yingjie slapped Li Shiyu's hand away. What was this expression and action? Did he think that he was a child? He flipped the table and slammed it on the ground!
"Okay, okay, okay. I won't touch your hair. Did you not register your name yet? Hurry up and register your name. Otherwise, when Boss Lan successfully activates his battle team, you won't be able to register your name. "Li Shiyu finally felt that he had a younger brother so he happily coaxed him.
Li Yingjie heard this and felt that Li Shiyu was right. Thus, he decided not to be angry at Li Shiyu. He obediently walked towards the staff and registered his name.
Li Lanfeng saw the interaction between Li Shiyu and Li Yingjie. His eyes darkened. He seemed to be thinking about something.
However, the conversation between the two brothers of the Li family almost made someone explode in anger. That person was Shen Rufei.
Only now did he know that this Li Yingjie didn't have a battle team. He wanted to join his mecha clan but he still dared to reject him. Now, he was even openly trying to find connections to join a battle team in front of him. This was a slap in his face. He was completely humiliated as a senior colonel and a regiment commander of a mecha clan.
Shen Rufei completely forgot that he didn't ask Li Yingjie. When Zilong rejected him, Li Yingjie remained silent. He didn't want to let Zilong and the others off so he was enraged by Li Yingjie's actions.
He raised his head and laughed. He said with disdain, "Hahaha, the boss you are talking about should be Ling Lan who defeated Lian Shaojing, right? A new recruit wants to activate his battle team? You must be dreaming. You won't succeed. In the end, you will enter my mecha clan. I will let you know the price of looking down on your superiors in the military! "Shen Rufei said the last sentence viciously. He didn't even bother to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
Shen Rufei wasn't stupid. He quickly guessed the truth from the conversation between the Li family brothers. The other team leaders also guessed the truth. No wonder Zilong said that he didn't have a battle team now. It didn't mean that he wouldn't have a battle team in the future. However, could that new recruit really succeed?
Everyone sighed. No new recruit had ever succeeded in activating his battle team. Even General Ling Xiao only succeeded in activating his battle team in his second year.
"What price do you want them to pay?" A cold voice suddenly sounded beside Shen Rufei's ear.
Shen Rufei was shocked. He lifted his head and saw a cold person standing beside him.
"Who are you?" Shen Rufei shouted in surprise.
"Me?" The person looked at him indifferently. "I am just a new recruit who is daydreaming."
"Ling Lan!" Shen Rufei's expression changed. Ling Lan, the person who defeated Lian Shaojing who was at the peak of Qi-Jin, actually appeared.
"Boss!" Zilong and the others were elated when they saw Ling Lan.
Li Lanfeng looked greedily at the person he missed dearly for the past three years. After being separated for three years, he understood what it meant by 'one day apart feels like three years'.
Ling Lan felt Li Lanfeng's burning gaze so she raised her head and nodded at him.
Li Lanfeng immediately understood what Ling Lan meant. He was shocked, elated, proud, and satisfied. His rabbit was indeed the strongest. He would never disappoint him.
