It Is Not Easy To Be A Man After Travelling To The Future Chapter 1081: Sleepwalk!

He raised one of his eyebrows and said, "This is interesting." He wondered if the mecha clan was really powerful or were they just trying to boost their image.

"Why? What's wrong?" Ke Yufeng was curious when he saw Yu Huan's change in expression.

"A mecha clan which has around 5800 soldiers has double the amount of mechas. Don't you think that this is interesting?" Yu Huan asked.

Ke Yufeng was shocked. "That number is probably just used to inflate their image. If we minus the number of logisticians… they can use one, have one as a backup, throw one away, and destroy one mecha. They won't be able to use all of them."

The Proud Wind Mecha Clan was one of the top t.i.tled super mecha clans in the base. Yet, they only had around 3000 mechas. Besides the reserve mechas for the team leaders, every mecha operator only had one mecha.

"If he is able to get his hands on so many mechas, it means that Lingtian Mecha Clan is not a simple mecha clan. I wonder what kind of person their regiment commander is. I hope that he won't disappoint me," Ke Yufeng said.

"You'll know in a while. I just received a report from the s.p.a.ceport. The regiment commander of Lingtian Mecha Clan is coming over with his men." Yu Huan frowned slightly. The captain of the s.p.a.ceport seemed hesitant about something when he reported to him just now. In the end, the captain didn't say anything.

'Did he feel that what he wanted to say was unimportant or was it because he felt that he wasn't able to explain the situation clearly so he decided not to say anything?'

No matter what the reason was, the expression of the captain was enough for Yu Huan to be serious.

Yu Huan was able to reach his position today because of his thoughtfulness and cautiousness. Thus, he wouldn't overlook the change in his subordinate's expression.

"Commander Yu, Major General Ling Lan would like to meet you." The mainframe of Base Nebula received Ling Lan's request and contacted Yu Huan about it.

"Major General Ling…" Yu Huan frowned. The regiment commanders for new t.i.tled super mecha clans were usually colonels. A lieutenant colonel was good enough to become a regiment commander.

"Major General? It seems like Lingtian is not a simple mecha clan." Ke Yufeng sat up straight.

"Let him in." Ke Yufeng's words helped Yu Huan regained his senses so he quickly gave his command to the mainframe.

The door of the office opened automatically. Three figures were seen. One of them was standing in the middle while the other two stood beside him. They were half stepped behind the person in the middle. It was obvious that the person in the middle was the regiment commander.

The three people were all wearing blue and white uniforms. The regiment commander had his head down so Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng couldn't see his face. They just felt the malevolent aura around the regiment commander. The great sense of danger emanating greatly shocked Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng.

'That is a dangerous person!' They exchanged glances with each other and communicated through their eyes.

This dangerous person had the major general badge in front of his chest.

This was the regiment commander of Lingtian Mecha Clan, Ling Lan! However, from Ling Lan's aura, they could tell that she wasn't an easy person to deal with. Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng turned vigilant after they confirmed the person's ident.i.ty and felt the malevolent aura around her.

However, this was just the start. When they focused their attention on the two people behind Ling Lan, they were stunned once again.

The person standing on Ling Lan's left was a major general!

d.a.m.n it, it's already astonis.h.i.+ng enough for the regiment commander to be a major general. Why was there another major general? When did major generals become so cheap? There were two major generals in a mecha clan that just became a t.i.tled super mecha clan.

Then, Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng looked at the person on the right…

Pfft! They wanted to vomit out blood.

What the f**k! This was another major general!

As the only two major generals at this base, they suddenly felt that their rank wasn't that important anymore.

"Regiment commander, the door is opened." Yang Mingzhi noticed his regiment commander was sleepwalking again so he reminded him. He was used to this behaviour after so many days.

Ling Lan looked up when she heard the voice and she saw the two major generals looking at them with a dumbfounded expression.

Huh? What did she do? No wait, she was waiting for the door to open just now. She didn't do anything weird, right?

Ling Lan was puzzled as to why the other party had such expressions. She did plan to do what she did at Base 013 again if the commanding officer in this base wanted to suppress her. However, this plan was not confirmed yet. They didn't know that she was here to destroy… I mean, to take over their power… nevermind, whatever it was, they weren't her opponents yet.

Ling Lan felt a little dizzy so she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.

In order to ensure that all the members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan… Lingtian Mecha Clan could gel together and reach the basic requirements of going on the battlefield, Ling Lan had no choice but to act personally. The viciousness of this devil regiment commander made the recruits realized that the past few days, which they felt was like h.e.l.l, was actually their most relaxed and happy moments.

After spending much of her time and effort on the recruits, their weakness, arrogance, and unruly behaviours finally disappeared. They were now all hot-blooded and strong soldiers.

However, her attentiveness caused her to lose focus on whatever was happening around her. Her entire mind was only filled with one thing, training, so to the other team leaders, she seemed to be sleepwalking.

The other party tried to control their expressions so that their real thoughts wouldn't be revealed. However, how could they be able to escape Ling Lan's Profound Insight? She instantly saw through them with one look.

During this period of time, Ling Lan was always in a daze. However, this didn't mean that she was unaware of her surroundings. It could even be said that the sleepwalking Ling Lan was even scarier and more vicious than the calm Ling Lan.

The calm Ling Lan would kill her enemy without wasting any energy. However, the sleepwalking Ling Lan would… well, you have to pray that Ling Lan would wake up before you got torture to death.

Based on what the team leaders said, their boss was currently just a devil with an automated self-defense system. Anyone who b.u.mped into her would die.

"Let's go in." Ling Lan decided to disregard the two stunned people in front of her. She signalled to Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong and asked them to enter.

"Nice to meet you. I'm the commanding officer of Base Nebula, Yu Huan. Welcome to Base Nebula, Regiment Commander Ling." Yu Huan regained his senses and hurried over. He smiled and welcomed the three people.

"Nice to meet you. I'm the regiment commander of the Lingtian Mecha Clan, Ling Lan." Ling Lan introduced herself and then pointed to the two people beside her. "This is the team leader of Mecha Team 01, Major General Yang Mingzhi. This is the team leader of Mecha Team 02, Major General Liu Furong."

Liu Furong gained merit for pa.s.sing the information of the mineral veins to the military. Hence, with Ling Xiao's help, on the day before Lingtian Mecha Clan came to Base Nebula, Liu Furong was finally promoted to a major general. He became the third major general of Lingtian Mecha Clan.

After introducing Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi, Ling Lan went into a daze. She started sleepwalking again.

"Welcome! Welcome!" Yu Huan greeted Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong enthusiastically.

When Ke Yufeng heard the introduction of these two people, he found that their names were quite familiar to him. After a few seconds of deep thought, he suddenly shouted, "North Star and South Star."

Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong looked at each other in shock. Yang Mingzhi smiled. "I didn't expect someone to remember our past t.i.tles."

"Of course. When the military gave the t.i.tle of the Seven Stars of the North and South that year, it was really grand. It has almost been 20 years since the ceremony. It's time to give new t.i.tles soon." Ke Yufeng was reminiscing about the past.

Every twenty years, the military would award t.i.tles to the outstanding mecha operators of the era. In some twenty year cycles, there might be no one who was awarded a t.i.tle. Sometimes, there might be many people. During Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong's era, there were many powerful mecha operators. It was an era where many stars shone together. Besides the Seven Stars of the North and South, the heaven and earth powerhouse duo and the fire phoenix, which represented eternal life, Ling Xiao, appeared in that era too.

Ling Xiao had already 'died' when he was given this t.i.tle. As a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator, he didn't have to be awarded this t.i.tle.

However, this t.i.tle represented the hope of the citizens of the Federation. They hoped that Ling Xiao would come back just like how the fire phoenix got reborn in a sea of fire. In the end, General Ling Xiao didn't disappoint everyone and came back alive.

"Yeah, time sure flies. One year later, the new bestowing ceremony will be held. I wonder what kind of outstanding people would be given a t.i.tle." Yang Mingzhi looked at Ling Lan as he spoke. If no accidents happened, their regiment commander would be bestowed a t.i.tle.

"I didn't expect the two of you to be here. I have long desired to meet you." Yu Huan was excited too. "Have a seat, everyone."

Ling Lan and the two of them sat down. Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng were stunned when they saw the position Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong chose to take. They were sitting beside Ling Lan. They were proclaiming that they were Ling Lan's subordinates.

When they knew that Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were from the Seven Stars of the North and South, they thought that they were the real owners of the Lingtian Mecha Clan. Yet, their positions made them question their guesses again. Were they wrong? The regiment commander of Lingtian Mecha Clan, Ling Lan, was actually the person in power?

With this query in mind, Yu Huan and Yang Mingzhi chatted with Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong for a while. As for their regiment commander, Ling Lan just continued to keep her head down. She didn't say anything.

Fine. Ling Lan had been sleepwalking all these while. She never woke up.

Ling Lan couldn't get out of her character as a devil instructor yet. Her mind was filled with brutal plans on how to train the new soldiers.

Battles could happen at any time so Ling Lan didn't have leisure to slowly train the new soldiers until they were fully capable of protecting themselves. She could only train the new soldiers viciously so that they would be prepared for war as soon as possible. Ling Lan believed that if you trained more and sweat more now, you would lose less blood in the future.

"Regiment Commander Ling, actually, you just need to send either Major General Yang or Major General Liu over for the registration process." Yu Huan wanted to wait for Ling Lan, Yang Mingzhi, or Liu Furong to start the topic first. However, when he saw that Ling Lan showing no intention of doing so and Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong seemingly ignoring the topic, he had no choice but to raise the topic himself.

d.a.m.n it, other mecha clans pa.s.sed him their registration doc.u.ments automatically but for the Lingtian Mecha Clan, he had to ask for it.

"Cough!" When Yang Mingzhi didn't see any reactions from Ling Lan, he knew that his regiment commander must be daydreaming again so he coughed out loud to wake her up.

Ling Lan looked up at Yang Mingzhi curiously.

Yang Mingzhi knew that they couldn't rely on their regiment commander now. He gave a wry smile and said, "Our regiment commander felt that it is his responsibility so he must come personally."

After explaining, he turned to Liu Furong. "Major General Liu, pa.s.s the doc.u.ments to Major General Yu."

"Yes, Leader Yang." Liu Furong took out the doc.u.ments he kept and pa.s.sed them to Yu Huan.

Although everything was controlled by the mainframe, some orders were still given through pen and paper to prevent their enemies from finding it, especially orders given by the higher authorities.

Yu Huan took over the doc.u.ments and compared the symbols on the paper. He made sure that the symbols were correct before proceeding to the mainframe and activating his commanding officer authority. After that, he entered the information of the Lingtian Mecha Clan into the mainframe.

This was when Lingtian became an official mecha clan of Base Nebula. If its information was not entered into the mainframe, it was just a temporary mecha clan that came to Base Nebula which authority could be taken away at anytime by the mainframe.

Ke Yufeng smiled after he saw Yu Huan entering the information of the mecha clan. "You should be here to take over my position. Let's go back to the camping ground together and do the handover."

The camping ground of Lingtian Mecha Clan was the best camping ground in Base Nebula. It was five times bigger than the average camping grounds. It could fit around 40 thousand people. No matter how huge a mecha clan was, it would at most have 8000 people. This camping ground was big enough to let any sized mecha clan to live a comfortable life.

"Sorry to trouble you," Yang Mingzhi said gratefully.

"It is nothing. Base Nebula will be in your hands now." Ke Yufeng smiled.

Suddenly, the room turned quiet. Yu Huan, Ke Yufeng, Yang Mingzhi, and Liu Furong gave an awkward smile to each other.

'Sob, can't we converse properly?' (Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng were frustrated.)

'Sob, regiment commander, hurry up and come back. We can't continue this anymore.' (Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong felt resentment in their hearts)

"Regiment commander!" Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi couldn't handle it anymore so they shouted to remind their regiment commander.

Ling Lan looked at them in a daze.

"We can leave now!" Yang Mingzhi lowered his voice.

"Oh…" Ling Lan replied. Then, she closed her eyes. When she opened them the next second, a cold light flashed by them.

'Yay! Our regiment commander is finally back.' Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong heaved a sigh of relief.

At that moment, the malevolent aura around Ling Lan disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a cold aura.

Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng couldn't help but s.h.i.+ver from the cold aura. Ke Yufeng's expression changed slightly as he looked at Ling Lan in astonishment.

Ling Lan slowly got up from the sofa. She raised her head and looked at Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng.

Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng finally saw the regiment commander's face. He was actually a cold-looking young man with faint scars on his face, and if he was given more time, the scars would disappear.

"So cold!"

Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng couldn't see Ling Lan's features clearly. They only felt the cold air she was exuding. They felt that if they were to look at Ling Lan intently, they would be frozen to death by her coldness.
