Xu s.h.i.+ming and Cui Yunxuan were unable to sit still after they heard the explosion. They rushed to the entrance of the camps of the Evil Wind Mecha Team and 250 Ace Mecha Clan.

When they arrived, they saw many people had already arrived before them.

Before they could ask around, the alarm at the Evil Wind's camp sounded.

Xu s.h.i.+ming was the leader of the scouts team so he immediately knew something was amiss. "d.a.m.n it!"

Cui Yunxuan asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

"250 Ace Mecha Clan has started its action." Xu s.h.i.+ming gave a bitter smile.

"But they didn't come out." Cui Yunxuan was confused.

"The Evil Wind Mecha Team and 250 Ace Mecha Clan are just separated by a wall. They can break the wall and get into the camp of Evil Wind directly." Xu s.h.i.+ming felt frustrated. 'Why didn't I think of this earlier?'

"But that is against the rules of the base. They won't do this." No one could destroy the boundaries segregating the different camps. If someone broke this rule, they would be charged with treason. This rule was enforced because the military was afraid there were spies in the camps who would damage the walls that protected the base and the various camps so that their enemies could enter without any hindrance. Once this rule was released, no matter how bad the relations.h.i.+ps of various mecha clans were, no one dared to break into someone else's camp through the walls. They were afraid that they would accidentally damage something, allowing their compet.i.tors to find a reason to charge them with treason.

Because of this, Xu s.h.i.+ming and Cui Yunxuan didn't expect Ling Lan to destroy the wall between the two camps. They were not the only ones who thought this. The commanding officer and the other commanders at the base probably didn't think of this too. This was why everyone only looked at the entrance of the two camps. They believed that any disputes would occur at the entrance.

"Aren't they afraid that Du Mingyi would charge them with treason?" Cui Yunxuan gasped.

"Did they damage the camp?" Xu s.h.i.+ming asked him back.

Cui Yunxuan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand what Xu s.h.i.+ming meant.

"What if the Evil Wind Mecha Team's camp belongs to 250 Ace Mecha Clan now? He has the right to do anything within his own camp." Xu s.h.i.+ming's eyes shone. If what he thought was true, Regiment Commander Ling was a difficult person to deal with. He was arrogant and domineering but smart too. Du Mingyi was definitely not his match. It looked like he needed to consider his own stand.

"But that is the camp of the Evil Wind Mecha Team." Cui Yunxuan still couldn't get what Xu s.h.i.+ming was saying.

"Evil Wind is part of 250 Ace Mecha Clan now so their camp belongs to 250 Ace Mecha Clan." Xu s.h.i.+ming didn't beat around the bush anymore.

"…" Cui Yunxuan was speechless. He realized that if that was really the case, they couldn't do anything to 250 Ace Mecha Clan now. "But will Evil Wind be willing to submit to them?"

"I don't know. They are the most important factor now. However, I suspect that Evil Wind will not be able to appear in front of us anytime soon." Xu s.h.i.+ming seemed to be in deep thought. He wasn't sure what method Regiment Commander Ling would use to force the people of Evil Wind Mecha Team to bow down to him, but he knew if the Evil Wind Mecha Team didn't appear soon, 250 Ace Mecha Clan would be safe for the moment.

It wasn't easy for Du Mingyi to harm 250 Ace Mecha Clan as 250 Ace Mecha Clan belonged to the 23rd division. They were sent by the higher authorities to guard Base 013. Even as the commanding officer of Base 013, Du Mingyi didn't have the right to enter the grounds of 250 Ace Mecha Clan to carry out an inspection unless he had ample evidence and courage to strike before reporting. If not, he had to follow the procedure and submit a request to the military headquarters or the headquarters of the 23rd division and wait for the 23rd division or the military to send an inspection squad to inspect 250 Ace Mecha Clan. This would take some time. If 250 Ace Mecha Clan had some background and managed to get the 23rd division to suppress this issue, the time for the inspection squad to come over would be even longer. Thus, Regiment Commander Ling definitely had enough time to settle the issue with Evil Wind.

The crux of the matter was whether Regiment Commander Ling was able to force the members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team to admit that they belonged to 250 Ace Mecha Clan before the inspection squad came.

"This means that 250 Ace Mecha Clan is fine for now but it doesn't mean that they would be safe in the future." Cui Yunxuan was enlightened. However, his focus was different from Xu s.h.i.+ming. He didn't believe that Regiment Commander Ling could make the people from the Evil Wind Mecha Team submit to him.

"Even if the people from Evil Wind didn't submit to them, the 250 Ace Mecha Clan has other ways out too." Xu s.h.i.+ming sighed. Cui Yunxuan's perspective was too shallow. Regiment Commander Ling was someone who was able to gain the respect of the young master of General Qi Yaoyang's household. He was definitely not a simple person. If not, would General Qi Yaoyang allow his son to be under him?

As the leader of the scouts team, it had to be said that Xu s.h.i.+ming was an expert at a.n.a.lyzing. After putting all these links together, he believed that Du Mingyi had no chance of succeeding against Ling Lan.

However, Xu s.h.i.+ming didn't think that 250 Ace Mecha Clan would be safe too. Du Mingyi was not the only person that could affect 250 Ace Mecha Clan's future. There was still Song Yiqing, the young master of the 2nd division. Before Song Yiqing acted, no one knew what the result of this battle was.

At that moment, the people of 250 Ace Mecha Clan were very busy. The logisticians entered the camp of the Evil Wind Mecha Team and started tidying the place.

Lin Zhong-qing was having a headache now. His four deputies, Li Jinghong, Luo Shaoyun, Yuan Youyun, and He Chaoyang were asking him for more manpower.

"Our general management department is lacking in manpower. There are 400 more people for us to attend to. The pressure is high. We must have more people," He Chaoyang wore a bitter smile on his face as he said. All his logisticians worked from 4 am till 10 pm. There was no break for them in the middle. Every time they ended their work, they would be so tired they instantly fell asleep in their bed. Now, there were even more people at their base. His logisticians would not be able to handle the workload.

"Your general management department is still able to push through but my coordination department is really having a hard time. Everyone looks for us. One person has to handle the workload of three people. My logisticians have to run all the time. This time, the medical department came to ask people from us. We sent the JMCs too but there is still not enough people. I really have no one I can spare now." Li Jinghong was desperate too. Han Xuya and Luo Chao kept pestering him. If he didn't send them people soon, they might come over and flip his office table over.

"My resource department has no one to gather the statistics of the input and output of our mecha clan. I have to do it personally many times. Is this what a person-in-charge should do?" Luo Shaoyun had many complaints too. He was like a general without soldiers. All his men were transferred to other departments.

"Me too! There should be two logisticians for each mecha operator but we only have one for each mecha operator. Now, the number of mecha operators doubled. Are we supposed to let one logistician take charge of two mecha operators? Is there any other mecha clans like us?" Yuan Youyun had a hard time. His logisticians were outstanding so they were able to handle one mecha operator each. However, if they were asked to handle two mecha operators each… they should not be called logisticians. They should instead be called invincible warriors.

"Head, Zhong-qing, we grew up together. Please give us some manpower!" The four of them surrounded Lin Zhong-qing and begged him.
