Lin Zhong-qing looked at the various corps commanders who were discussing animatedly, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. He clapped his hands forcefully, attracting everyone's attention to him.
"Our regiment commander said that from now onwards, the logistics department of the base will not give us any resources. All the resources will be used to support the protective shield of the base."
"Can we use the protective shield to block the enemy's attacks?" The commanding officer of Base 14 asked uncertainly.
Hearing this, Lin Zhong-qing didn't reply. He just stood up slowly, picked up the military cap on his left hand and put it on carefully. Then, he looked around and smiled. "It can last for a while, but once the energy is used up, the base will be destroyed by the enemy. We can only hope that the reinforcements will arrive before the enemy destroys our base. "
Lin Zhong-qing's words made everyone silent. If they didn't attack the base, it meant that they were placing their hopes on the reinforcements. If the reinforcements didn't arrive in time, they would be destroyed along with the base.
"Commanders and regiment commanders, I have to go and prepare the energy for the protective shield. Please allow me to leave first." Lin Zhong-qing nodded to everyone. Then, he left with Yuan Youyun, who was the only one who came with him.
On the way, Yuan Youyun scolded angrily, "I'm so angry. We sacrificed so many seniors to get the resources and water. How can we waste it on these cowards?"
"Boss isn't angry. Why are you angry?" Lin Zhong-qing said helplessly. Actually, Boss didn't want them to die. However, he didn't expect them to use up all their energy after 20 days.
"What do you think Boss is thinking? Although the mainframe of the base has successfully evolved through Boss's hands and has become more intelligent, allowing it to manage its energy consumption more rationally, our base's energy reserves aren't much to begin with. In the face of an all-around attack, we can only hold out for an hour at most, and this is an optimistic result. Yuan Youyun looked anxious. Even the members of the Lingtian Battle Team started to feel uneasy when they saw that there was no hope left for them.
Lin Zhong-qing looked at the anxious Yuan Youyun. Suddenly, his expression turned serious. "Yuan Youyun, do you have no confidence in Boss anymore?"
Yuan Youyun was shocked. His expression changed slightly. "How is that possible? Boss has always been able to lead us to the best of our abilities. During the grand armed melee and the Grand Mecha Tournament …"
"That's not all. You guys didn't go to the First Men's Military Academy with Boss, so you don't know. When we were in the military academy, Boss led us to successfully steal a spaceship during the military academy's entrance exam. When the military academy was attacked by a mysterious enemy, he led us to fight and survived in the end. He formed a new faction during his freshman year and became the number one faction in the military academy in his second year. Then he unified the military academy and became the king of the military academy. He didn't lead us to do our best. Instead, he led us to create miracles. This time, Boss will also lead us to create miracles and survive. "
Lin Zhong-qing's words made Yuan Youyun lower his head slowly. Lin Zhong-qing continued, "Yuan Youyun, if you don't trust Boss anymore, then there will be no place for you in Lingtian Battle Team. We don't need someone who doesn't trust his comrades. Think about it carefully."
Lin Zhong-qing turned and left. Yuan Youyun gritted his teeth and followed. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I'm sorry."
"You didn't let me down. Instead, you let down Boss, who tried so hard to keep us alive," Lin Zhong-qing replied calmly.
"I know. I will apologize to Boss," Yuan Youyun replied firmly. In the face of death, all kinds of distracting thoughts might appear. Yuan Youyun wavered. However, Lin Zhong-qing's words made him sober up. Their Boss Ling Lan had never given up hope of survival. Even if he knew that it was impossible, he would still create miracles. Weren't those resources and water sources the proof? He was really blind. He actually couldn't see Boss's true thoughts.
Boss would definitely not give up. He would definitely think of a way to survive until reinforcements arrived.
Lin Zhong-qing's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He didn't care if the other people in the base wavered, but he couldn't allow the people from Lingtian to waver. This was something he couldn't accept. If not, Boss's efforts and sacrifice would not be worth it.
In the command center, there was no one from 250 Ace Mecha Clan left. It seemed that Ling Lan's decision wasn't to loosen the reins only to grasp them better. He was really prepared to do this.
Everyone was in deep thought. They didn't want to die but they didn't want to wait for death either. Many regiment commanders couldn't make a decision. They all lit up the only cigarette they had left beside them. At this time, they were very tired of all kinds of things, including these luxurious consumables. At first, they treasured them a lot. Every time they took them out, they would just look at them to satisfy their cravings. However, now, they were confused. They could only use cigarettes to numb themselves.
Very soon, the command center was filled with smoke. Song Yiqing, who had been silent all this while, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He stood up abruptly and said loudly, "I don't want to be an old turtle that will be killed by others. Even if I have to die, I want to die a glorious death on the battlefield." After saying that, he left with his adjutant without hesitation. People who walked different paths couldn't make plans together. He wouldn't force himself to stay here.
Although many of their comrades had died when they snatched the resources, they were still much better off compared to 250 Ace Mecha Clan. That day, 250 Ace Mecha Clan fired into the air to send off their comrades. That solemn scene was still in his mind. Song Yiqing finally understood the true meaning of a soldier's existence. Song Yiqing blushed when he thought about what he had done in the past. He felt guilty for the honor and responsibility that his military uniform gave him.
He was wrong in the past. However, from now on, he wouldn't be wrong again.
Yan Three stood up too. He put on his military cap and said coldly, "I agree with Regiment Commander Song. From the start, there are no cowards in Base 013." In the first battle, the Evil Wind Mecha Team went up against a famous ace mecha clan from Hailiya. They sacrificed almost two-fifths of their members. It was a heavy loss. Yan Three almost broke down because of this result. However, before he could banish himself, 250 Ace Mecha Clan sent him and the other members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team to a scary training ground. They trained like dogs every day. He didn't have any time to feel sad or regret.
After they crawled out of the death training ground, Yan Three realized that everyone had regained their strength. Sacrifice was painful. However, this pain also motivated them to move forward. They couldn't disappoint their comrades. Only when they stood at a higher position would they be able to look up at their comrades. Only then would they have the right to say that their comrades' sacrifice wasn't in vain.
