911: I Can Wait! (Jade Annulus of He Clan +)
"I understand." Luo Chao nodded. However, she didn't leave. Instead, she went to the healing pod and started controlling it. Soon, the healing pod opened. Ling Lan was covered in bandages as she lay in the healing pod. Only her head was exposed.
However, no one could see Ling Lan's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Her entire body was covered in bandages. She looked like a mummy.
Luo Chao signaled Li Shiyu to inject the awakening agent. Li Shiyu shrugged at Li Lanfeng and went forward to inject the agent. He didn't chase her away.
Ling Lan slowly opened her eyes. She saw Luo Chao, Li Shiyu, and Li Lanfeng staring at her anxiously. She nodded slightly to show that she was fine.
"Boss, Big Leader Li wants to talk to you in private." Luo Chao signaled Ling Lan with her eyes. If it wasn't safe, she would stay here.
Ling Lan smiled and nodded at Luo Chao. Then, she looked at the door and signaled Luo Chao to leave.
Luo Chao decided to leave. When she turned around, she didn't forget to glare at Li Lanfeng fiercely.
Li Shiyu was stunned. When did Luo Chao become so fierce? Wasn't she the only one who was like this?
Li Lanfeng frowned again. After the battle, he noticed that Luo Chao treated Ling Lan differently. What happened during this period of time?
Li Lanfeng threw away his doubts. He couldn't disturb Ling Lan for too long. If not, it might cause harm to Ling Lan's injuries.
Hence, he went straight to the point. "Shiyu thinks that because of the Nuwa agent, all the recovery agents from the Federation will be ineffective against your injuries."
Ling Lan wasn't shocked. When she used the Nuwa agent, she had thought about this side effect. She nodded and signaled for Li Lanfeng to continue.
"To heal your wounds, we need to use the Nuwa agent again. We need to go to Planet Juhao to harvest the plants. So, we need to contact General Ling Xiao and let him arrange it." Li Lanfeng shared his thoughts. With General Ling Xiao's arrangements, they would be able to enter Planet Juhao smoothly.
Ling Lan closed her eyes and thought about it seriously. Then, she shook her head gently.
"Why not? Without the Nuwa agent, do you want to lie in the healing pod for the rest of your life? "Li Lanfeng shouted angrily when he saw that Ling Lan had rejected him. His usual calmness had disappeared.
"That's inappropriate!" Ling Lan squeezed out these two words with all her might. Her voice was very hoarse. At the same time, the backlash had also seriously injured her throat. Saying these two words made her feel as if her throat was on fire, and the pain was unbearable.
Ling Lan used the Qi exercises again to moisten her throat. She felt more comfortable after that.
Ling Lan continued, "Planet Juhao has a lot of benefits in it. Everyone in the military is watching it closely. My father's every move is watched closely by the higher-ups too. Although those plants are worthless now, there is still something wrong with a general's order to pick them. Once people find out that Shiyu can concoct the Nuwa agent, Shiyu will be controlled by the military … I don't want Shiyu to lose his freedom. "
He didn't expect Ling Lan to give up on the Nuwa agent for his safety and freedom. He blurted out, "I don't care. I just want to heal your wounds."
Li Lanfeng's gaze flickered. He clenched his fists tightly and remained silent for a few seconds. When he looked at Ling Lan again, he was extremely calm. "Right now, the most important thing is to heal your injuries."
Between his younger brother and his friend, he chose his friend! He was indeed a selfish person.
Ling Lan's gaze sharpened after hearing Li Lanfeng's words. She looked at Li Lanfeng coldly. She hoped Li Lanfeng would wake her up.
"Without the Nuwa agent, my wounds are not incurable." Ling Lan could feel that the Qi exercises had improved her condition, but this improvement was minuscule. It was difficult for the medical equipment to show any data, which was why Li Shiyu had assumed that the medicine had failed and that Ling Lan's condition was not improving.
Li Lanfeng felt as though a bucket of cold water was poured on him when he saw Ling Lan's gaze. He became sober and calmed down.
Li Shiyu's eyes lit up when he heard Ling Lan's words. "Is there any other way to heal your wounds?"
"The Ling family has a secret technique!" Ling Lan gave Li Shiyu a simple answer.
Li Lanfeng moved his lips and Ling Lan nodded. Li Shiyu frowned when he heard Ling Lan's words.
Li Shiyu frowned when he heard about the secret technique. There was a price to pay for using the secret technique. He thought about it and decided that it was safer to make the Nuwa agent himself. "Boss, I think it's better to go pick some plants. As for me, it's fine. I like to study this agent anyway. It's just a change of location. It's not a big deal."
Ling Lan shook her head. "You don't mind, but I do." It wasn't easy for her to kidnap a military doctor and he was such a good military doctor. She wouldn't be stupid to return him to the military.
Ling Lan's words moved Li Shiyu to tears. He finally understood why his eldest cousin brother had said to him that a gentleman would die for his bosom friend. With a friend like Boss, he would also be like his eldest cousin brother and follow him all the way!
"Alright, Shiyu, you have to believe in our regiment commander." Li Lanfeng had experienced the effects of the Qi exercises before. He knew that Ling Lan wasn't trying to comfort them. She was telling the truth. Thus, he turned to Li Shiyu. He didn't want his younger brother to lose his freedom and become a research tool for the military.
"I understand." In front of his eldest cousin brother and his invincible boss, Li Shiyu didn't have any resistance. He listened to his eldest cousin brother obediently.
"Also, according to the usual practice, those things that are deemed useless will be auctioned off in a large scale auction. That will be our chance." Ling Lan had never thought of giving up on those plants and the Nuwa agent from the start.
Ling Lan's words made the Li family brothers' eyes light up. Now, even if the Qi exercises were useless, they still had a chance. They just didn't know when the Federation would hold the auction.
"Don't worry. I can wait." That said, Ling Lan slowly closed her eyes. Her current spiritual power would not be able to keep her awake for long. This was also a side effect of operating a god-class mecha. Compared to her physical body, she was more worried about her spiritual power.
Seeing Ling Lan fall asleep again, Li Lanfeng looked at her intently. Then, he closed the healing pod and watched as Ling Lan was covered by the healing potion again.
"Shiyu, experiment with the healing potion like crazy. Then, announce that it's useless." Li Lanfeng's eyes were cold.
"Huh?" Li Shiyu looked up in shock. He didn't know why Li Lanfeng would do something he knew was useless.
"The battle to protect Boss has just begun." Li Lanfeng said coldly.
An imperial operator operating a god-class mecha for 24 minutes was too long. It was long enough for the higher-ups of the military to be tempted. Just General Ling Xiao alone might not be able to protect Boss. When Li Lanfeng saw Ling Lan operating a god-class mecha, he already knew that there would be a bloodbath.
