Chapter 897: Is It Appropriate?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the starship, everyone was nervous as they watched the satellites entering Planet Haijiao’s orbit. The gravitational pull of the Planet Haijiao was very high, so it was hard for the miniature satellite to resist the pull as they didn’t have strong engines in them. The reason why they didn’t use a normal sized satellite because they were afraid that the Hailiya army would notice the satellites if they were too large.

Around 20 minutes later, the miniature satellite finally entered the orbit of Planet Haijiao. The people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces finally heaved a sigh of relief. They were halfway to success.

Brain One activated the miniature satellite. He looked nervously at the images that were jumping on the screen. For the first time, he felt that the activation speed of these miniature satellites was too slow.

The Hailiyan army had received the order from their commander. They attacked Base 013 together and used their most powerful weapons to strike the protective shield.

“Beep beep beep, the energy reserves of the protective shield had depleted by 30%. 40%. 50%. Alert, alert...” The mainframe sounded the alarm.

Lin Zhong-qing shouted sternly, “Change shifts and increase the replenishing speed.”

The logisticians who were waiting for their shifts quickly took over their comrades’ position and started putting the energy storage units into the energy belts furiously. Those logisticians who were off their shift still helped out by taking out the empty energy storage units. This efficient cooperation allowed the energy reserves of the protective shield to maintain at around 50%.

The high intensity of the job tired people out easily. Hence, Lin Zhong-qing remembered to prepare more people to take over the shifts.

When the energy reserves of the protective shield reached 50%, the alarm sounded throughout the base. The people from Lingtian who were busy with their work suddenly stopped working.

“Is that finally going to appear?” Chang Xinyuan looked at the mecha hold and muttered to himself.

“What’s going to appear?” Chen Yi’an, who was maintaining a mecha, looked up and asked curiously.

“That’s none of your business. Hurry up and do your work. Those mecha operators are still waiting to board their mechas to kill our enemies.” Chang Xinyuan didn’t reply to him. Instead, he asked the mecha engineers to hasten their pace.

The mecha engineers didn’t know why their leader said this. All the mecha operators were stuck at the mecha hold. They couldn’t go out. However, the naive mecha engineers still worked faster.

When no one was looking at him, Chang Xinyuan sneaked into the mecha hold and walked to the portion of the mecha hold for 250 Ace Mecha Clan. He walked to the front of a huge unopened container.

A man in white gown was standing there. He looked at the container intently as though he was wondering what was inside.

“You are here.” Chang Xinyuan wasn’t surprised by his appearance. If Boss wanted to use the thing inside the container, she needed Li Shiyu’s agent.

“You’re here.” Li Shiyu seemed to be expecting him too. If Chang Xinyuan didn’t come at this time, he wouldn’t be Chang Xinyuan anymore.

“Does Boss have to use this thing?” Chang Xinyuan appeared serious.

“The energy reserves of the protective shield is maintained at 50% with Lin Zhong-qing doing his best,” Li Shiyu didn’t seem to be answering his question. “Hailiya have gathered more soldiers, so the next round of attack will be even worse. There is not much energy storage units left in the base, so we must help to lessen their burden.”

“Can’t we hold on a while longer?” Chang Xinyuan knew what the price their boss had to pay if he used this thing. He really didn’t wish their Boss would use this thing.

“Have you ever seen Boss betting our fates on luck?” Li Shiyu smiled bitterly. If he had the choice, he would disagree with his Boss’s decision too. However, his disagreement wouldn’t affect anything.

Chang Xinyuan became silent. He felt touched and helpless. This was why they followed their Boss so willingly. This was why they would hate themselves for being too weak. They were unable to help their Boss in the moment when she needed them the most.

At the command center, Ling Lan heard the alarm and turned serious. She stood up and looked at Li Lanfeng and Han Jijyun. “I’ll hand this place over to you two.”

“Have you decided?” Li Lanfeng grabbed Ling Lan’s hand. He lost control of his emotions.

Ling Lan nodded. “I won’t place all my hopes on the reinforcements. Since my father dared to go against the world to give it to me to protect me, I mustn’t disappoint him. I believe that I’ll bring you all home.”

“Boss, you must keep your promise.” Han Jijyun stood up with red eyes. Even if their Boss used that thing, he would be in extreme danger if he went out to the battlefield now. He was operating a mecha which was at a higher level than her too. No one could predict the results.

“I will,” Ling Lan replied sternly. She wasn’t going to seek death. She was going to protect everyone.

“Don’t worry.” Ling Lan broke free from Li Lanfeng’s grip and walked out of the command center without turning back even once. From this moment onwards, she wasn’t a commanding officer. She was a soldier who wanted to protect her comrades.

Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan as she disappeared. He looked up and swallowed his anger and bitterness. In the end, he could only watch his Rabbit fighting alone. There was nothing he could do. How could someone as weak as he talks about changing his destiny? What a joke.

Li Lanfeng scoffed as he jeered himself.

Han Jijyun was astounded when he noticed that the forever calm Li Lanfeng had lost control of his emotions.

“Li Lanfeng, calm down. Boss will definitely come back alive. He always does what he says.” To Han Jijyun, Ling Lan was an invincible person. This was the image Ling Lan had created in their minds. Hence, he couldn’t understand why Li Lanfeng was emotional. This battle might be dangerous but someone as powerful as their Boss would definitely be able to overcome everything and hold on until reinforcements would arrive.

“I know. I just hate myself for being too weak. If I’m as powerful as him, I can take his place and not have to watch him fighting alone.” Li Lanfeng spoke his true thoughts.

Han Jijyun’s expression changed when he heard this. He had never thought of being on par with his Boss. He just wondered how he could perform his role in the team more perfectly. Han Jijyun looked at Li Lanfeng intently. ‘Is this why I am not as good as Li Lanfeng?’

‘However, is it appropriate for Li Lanfeng to want to be as strong as Boss?’ Han Jijyun couldn’t understand what Li Lanfeng was thinking. He felt that Li Lanfeng’s thoughts were too hard to comprehend. ‘Does Li Lanfeng just want to become a good comrade of their Boss or does he have other intentions?’ A shadow appeared in Han Jijyun’s heart.

“Han Jijyun, show what’s happening at the ejection port on all the screens in the base,” Li Lanfeng ordered after he calmed down.
