Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1257

“Little Four, take control of the mecha. I'll leave the rest to you,” Ling Lan endured her immense pain wrecking through her entire body and spoke to Little Four with gritted teeth.

“I-I know, Boss. Please drink your medicine quickly.” Seeing Ling Lan being covered in blood and on the brink of death, Little Four almost couldn't hold back his tears from falling out.

While Instructor Number Three was fighting with Lord Jindao, Little Four had attempted to infiltrate the latter's mecha's mainframe in hopes that he could cooperate with Instructor Number Three to kill Lord Jindao. However, when he tried to hack into the mainframe, he quickly realized that the firewall of a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha was something he couldn't break through in such a short amount of time…

Of course, if he was given enough time, he believed he could definitely hack through Lord Jindao's mainframe. Unfortunately, Ling Lan's current condition of her body did not have the luxury to provide him the time he needed to hack through it.

Ling Lan endured the mind-shattering pain and drank the medicinal agent hanging on her c.o.c.kpit's wall. Soon after, the familiar feeling of itching and pain began to course through her body.

Ling Lan was not afraid of pain. In terms of enduring pain, Ling Lan was confident if she said she was second in the world, no one else would dare call themselves the best at enduring pain. However, this bone-chilling, challenging limit of human endurance type of numbing itch made Ling Lan's unwavering expression crumble apart. She actually let out some uncontrollable moans a few times to slightly decrease the pain she was feeling. Luckily, Ling Lan was quick enough with her hands that she turned off the commlink channel with her team before they could hear it. That way Li Lanfeng and the others didn't know that she had moaned.

However, this G.o.dsakened feeling meant the vial of medicinal agent was still effective on her body and was helping her to heal her wounds.

Ling Lan released a sigh of relief. If she didn't feel anything after drinking the agent, it would be the worst possible scenario.

Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng controlled their mechas and quickly retreated to where Luo Lang and Xie Yi were at, even when they had grouped together, they didn't stop. Under Ling Lan's orders, the four of them backed up many kilometers, moving far away from Ling Xiao and Lord Jindao's battlefield.

Ling Lan knew very well that the battle between G.o.d-cla.s.s operators would be very destructive. It would be best for cannon fodder like them to stay as far away as possible from the battle between G.o.d-cla.s.s operators. Otherwise, if they weren't careful, they might become pigs in a slaughterhouse, they wouldn't even have time to cry about it then.

“Just stay there. Don't get too far away from me,” Ling Lan wanted to retreat a little further, but she suddenly heard her father's words.

The message was sent through spiritual power. Although Ling Lan was shocked, she still obeyed her father and stopped in her tracks. Li Lanfeng, Luo Lang and Xie Yi followed Ling Lan closely, so after seeing Ling Lan stopping, they also stopped and waited for their Boss's next orders.

“We should be safe here.” Ling Lan held back the anxious feeling she had and calmly spoke.

Although Li Lanfeng felt their current location was still too close for comfort, he still believed in Ling Lan's judgement. When it came to Ling Lan, Li Lanfeng had 100 percent confidence in her.

Luo Lang and Xie Yi didn't complain either. Luo Lang always listened to his Boss and Xie Yi would be wherever Luo Lang was. Even if he felt the distance between them and the two G.o.d-cla.s.s operators was too close, and the fact that it would still be very possible for them to get caught between the battle between G.o.d-cla.s.s operators and become fodder if they weren't careful, he still wouldn't say anything about it as long as Luo Lang was beside him.

Moreover, it was also because Xie Yi knew speaking up would be useless. Luo Lang was Boss Lan's number one fan since they were young. He would unconditionally listen to Ling Lan's orders and go to where Ling Lan pointed him towards, never going against even some of the more crazy orders.

Of course, the biggest part of the reason why Xie Yi didn't say anything was because he trusted Boss wholeheartedly and believed that Ling Lan wouldn't make a poor decision.

While Ling Lan's group of four stopped to spectate the battle, Ling Xiao and Lord Jindao were already clas.h.i.+ng using close range weapons.

In the dark void of s.p.a.ce, two white specks of light were colliding into each other at top speeds, creating countless sparks in the area around them. Sometimes, silhouettes of large mechas could also be seen by the naked eye. Someone with poor vision wouldn't be able to see the flight patterns of the mechas and could only see random beams of light s.h.i.+ning brightly in the void.

Ling Lan's group of four didn't have this problem. Their eyes could clearly see the movements and motions of the battle between G.o.d-cla.s.s operators. Even if they couldn't see it clearly, the modified optical supercomputer on their mechas would still be able to record the movements and slow the speed down to let them watch.

“Dad is pressuring the opponent. Dad is the best,” Little Four, who was also watching, said excitedly as he put his arms up in glee.

“I expected no less from the Federation's strongest G.o.d-cla.s.s operator. The Twilight Empire's Lord Jindao is no match for our general,” said Luo Lang in admiration.

Xie Yi also had a fiery look in his eyes. Lord Jindao was the strongest mecha operator in the Twilight Empire. Similarly named the strongest, Lord Jindao was still completely suppressed by the Federation's strongest G.o.d-cla.s.s operator, Ling Xiao. He was even retreating back in fear when the general almost struck his mecha's body.

Although the G.o.d s.h.i.+eld was powerful, one good attack from a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator was still enough to completely deplete the s.h.i.+eld's energy. Even though the one second of recovery time seemed short, that instant was still enough for a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator to kill his opponent a few times over.

Lord Jindao was constantly suppressed throughout the fight. In reality, he was already putting in all of his effort, but he still couldn't turn the tide. Reality told him that Ling Xiao wasn't as weak as he had previously thought. He might not be the top ranking G.o.d-cla.s.s operator of the Federation, but he definitely was second or third in the ranks.

Lord Jindao had a bitter taste in his mouth. If it was possible, he wanted to personally kill Ling Xiao and take revenge for the Twilight Empire. Now it seemed he could not complete such a goal.

After thinking about that, Lord Jindao gnashed his teeth in anger. Then, he pushed down on the connect b.u.t.ton that he originally didn't want to press on.

“This is Jindao. I now request…” Right as Lord Jindao was about to request for reinforcements, all of his hair suddenly stood up on ends. A never before feeling of crisis went straight to his head. He didn't even think as he quickly retreated back with his mecha as fast as possible.

In that instant, the beam sword in Ling Xiao's hands stabbed into Lord Jindao's c.o.c.kpit area. However, because of Lord Jindao's quick reaction and speedy dodge, the sword just managed to slightly miss him. The beam sword skimmed the outer sh.e.l.l of the c.o.c.kpit. Perhaps the distance was still too close as Lord Jindao's mecha lit up in a protective glow. The beam s.h.i.+eld on his mecha made the energy from the stab explode outwards, stopping the mecha operator inside the c.o.c.kpit from getting injured.

Right as Lord Jindao thought he had gotten away with his life, he felt his hairs stand on ends once again. It was an even stronger sense of crisis than before.

Lord Jindao activated his mecha's rainbow s.h.i.+eld. At the same time, a beam sword hit Lord Jindao's c.o.c.kpit area.

The beam sword's energy was instantly depleted. However, Lord Jindao's G.o.d s.h.i.+eld's energy was similarly depleted in that instant. The rainbow colored glow instantly dissipated and his mecha darkened.

After escaping the attack with his life, Lord Jindao immediately backed up his mecha and wanted the one second of time to pa.s.s by.

He originally thought Ling Xiao was going to push forward once more, but Ling Xiao's mecha just stood there and didn't move. It floated in the void and watched him as he got further and further away.

Lord Jindao didn't know why, but he still actually managed to capture a glimpse of coldness from the eye slits of Ling Xiao's mecha.

Despite being a bit surprised, he was still piloting his mecha and flying away from Ling Xiao as quickly as possible. That was because the feeling of danger in his mind didn't decrease but instead increased even further.

What was actually happening?
