Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1433

“Predict their trajectory.” Zhao Jun's heart skipped a beat, but he still asked with hope in his voice.

“They are going towards the 7th Preserve District, where we are. We're exposed.” Not only after, the scouts team predicted the target the enemy mecha clan was moving towards.

“d.a.m.n it,” Zhao Jun cursed softly in consideration of the children around them. He then jumped into his mecha's c.o.c.kpit.

Doctor Ju had just settled in the secondary seat. When she saw Zhao Jun jumping in with a dark expression and hurriedly closing the c.o.c.kpit, she knew something was wrong.

“Retreat at top speed,” Zhao Jun ordered in his clan's commlink channel.

“Yes, Regiment commander!” Without saying anything else, all of his team leaders knew what had happened.

Zhao Jun piloted his mecha, quickly leading his mecha clan out of the 7th Preserve District. Doctor Ju then asked loudly, “Regiment Commander Zhao, tell me! What is wrong?”

Zhao Jun didn't answer, only the sounds of his fingers tapping on the control panel echoed through the c.o.c.kpit. His fingers quickly danced around the control panel and his mecha speed increased by one level once again.

“Tell me, is something happening to the 7th Preserve District?” Doctor Ju wasn't stupid. Zhao Jun's att.i.tude proved what she had guessed.

Zhao Jun didn't answer. One reason was because he didn't know how to answer. The second reason was because he believed answering wouldn't result to anything.

“I want to go back.” Doctor Ju was still worried about her friends and family in the 7th Preserve District.

Zhao Jun totally ignored her, and the mecha still quickly rushed forward. He was trying to rush out before the enemy could encircle them.

If the enemy had sent out one mecha army, perhaps Zhao Jun would still try to fight. However, this time, the scouts gave him the intel that it was clearly three mecha armies cooperating with each other. Even if the mecha operators in his clan could fight 1 against 3, Zhao Jun wouldn't be dumb enough to go against enemies that had 10 times the number of people they had.

“Did you not hear me? I want to go back.” Doctor Ju wanted to grab onto Zhao Jun's hand with the intention of stopping him.

Before she could reach him, she felt a force instantly push her hand back.

“Calm the f*ck down,” said Zhao Jun angrily.

“Elder Father is there. My friends and family are all there. How can I be calm?” Doctor Ju shouted.

It was easy for bystanders to say that, but it was her own family members they were talking about, who could actually stay calm in her situation? Doctor Ju knew if she went back, she wouldn't be able to do anything, but she couldn't control herself. She wanted to go back, even if it meant dying with them.

“What can you do if you go back?” shouted Zhao Jun. “If they can't find us, they won't have a reason to attack the 7th Preserve District. Don't make things more difficult.”

Doctor Ju became silent. After a few seconds, she said softly, “They aren't going to attack the 7th Preserve District? Can you really fool yourself like that?”

Zhao Jun turned silent. It was just as Doctor Ju had said. The words he said just now couldn't even fool himself. With three mecha armies surrounding the 7th Preserve District, there was no doubt that they had solid intel about their location. If they couldn't find them, it would quite possible they would wipe out 7th Preserve District to let out their rage.

“Elder Father predicted it would come to this. That's why he told me to take the children away…” Doctor Ju now understood everything. She slumped back down to her chair with tears rolling down her face. She didn't know whether she should resent or thank Zhao Jun for saving their lives. She couldn't even look at Zhao Jun with a straight face.

“I'm sorry.” Zhao Jun squeezed those words out of his mouth with difficulty. If it was possible, he also didn't want to do this. However, at that moment, they had lost contact with Boss so they were all on their own now. After fighting constantly for so long, they had already reached the point where they were running out of bullets. Reality forced them to find a safe place to let his clan members rest and treat their wounds. The appearance of Doctor Ju and the 7th Preserve District was like a silver lining of hope for Zhao Jun. Perhaps his selfishness made Zhao Jun unwilling to think about the consequences of his actions.

He was still a selfish person. He also didn't have Boss's ability to easily resolve a difficult issue.

“It's me who caused the death of everyone in the district. I'm too simple-minded to think it would be fine.” Doctor Ju mocked herself while smiling as tears dripped down her face. Her smile was depressing.

Zhao Jun's hand on the control stick tightened for a moment before loosening again.

“But I must go back. Regiment Commander Zhao, please put me down. I beg you. Please take Little Qing and the others to a safe place and let them live peacefully…” said Doctor Ju.

“Do you know how far away we are from the 7th Preserve District now? If you go down now, you would have to walk back for an entire day,” said Zhao Jun.

“I have to go back no matter how far I am.” Doctor Ju looked towards Zhao Jun with a determined look in her eyes.

Zhao Jun knew Doctor Ju had made up her mind. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, “F*ck!” Then he pushed down on his commlink connect b.u.t.ton, “Leader Mu, the mecha clan will be under your command now.”

Leader Mu shuddered when he heard those words. “Regiment commander, where are you going?”

“I need to go back to the 7th Preserve District.” He was indebted to Doctor Ju. Plus, the 7th Preserve District being on the brink of destruction was because of him. If he didn't go back to take a look, he wouldn't be able to live with himself.

“You can't, regiment commander! Going back to the 7th Preserve District is too dangerous.” Leader Mu immediately refused. He couldn't watch as his regiment commander planned to give up his life.

“That's an order.” Zhao Jun was also a person who wouldn't change a decision he made.

“F*ck!” Leader Mu also swore under his breath. He pushed down on the commlink connect b.u.t.ton, “Have the team leaders without the children come out and follow our regiment commander.”

If that was the case, then he must increase his chances of survival. He couldn't just let his regiment commander go there and give up his life.

Not long after, ten team leaders came out from the clan and followed behind Zhao Jun.

Then, Zhao Jun's entire mecha turned 180 degrees towards the opposite direction. The 10 mechas behind him also followed suit. They were just as elegant and agile, without stagnating.

Zhao Jun ran for a short while before seeing beeps on his radar. “Activate the chameleon system.”

The 11 mechas stopped nearby the district. They soon camouflaged themselves with the scenery around them. Other than touching them physically, the mechas on the Lawless Lands wouldn't be able to discover them.

This was also why Zhao Jun had been able to escape the enemy armies' encirclements. However, the enemy seemed to have discovered this as they would destroy the environment around them every time they patrolled the area, ensuring that Zhao Jun and them didn't hide around them.

A few minutes after they hid themselves, they saw a large team of mechas coming towards them.

“It looks like their encirclement has successfully trapped us in.” Zhao Jun frowned. At the same time, he rejoiced that the others had left quick enough. They managed to get away in a crack of the enemy's encirclement before the enemy could completely surround them.

“What do we do now?” Doctor Ju asked worriedly.

“We'll see how the situation goes. If we don't get discovered, we will follow behind them.” Of course, in order to avoid being discovered on the enemy's radar, they must change into manual mode.
