Ling Lan put the Firmament on her back and coldly asked, "Qi Long. How long did you take for those two mecha?"
Qi Long knew he was in trouble. He didn't dare to conceal anything, and replied with a face full of pain, "1 minute 17 seconds."
"When we return, you're going into the secret room for a month," Ling Lan said determinedly.
"Why, only 17 seconds. That's seventeen days." Qi Long stomped his foot.
"You alerted the opponent. You have to be punished," Ling Lan said coldly. He had almost caused the entire plan to fail. If she didn't punish Qi Long, she wouldn't be able to face her terrified little heart.
Upon hearing this, Qi Long immediately lowered his head and dared not to speak again. He was afraid that if he spoke further, Boss would increase the punishment exponentially. He had already experienced this kind of result many times while growing up. Having learned his lesson, he would definitely not let the month become two months or even three months. That would really be considered inhumane.
After taking care of this battle team, Ling Lan's team carefully and cautiously hid their mecha. They looked towards the temporary tent the Jianqiao Military Academy had set up for resting at the center of the headquarters. They originally thought that the noise that Qi Long had made would alert the people inside, but they discovered that the other side hadn't moved at all. It was probably because of the peace they had up until now, as well as the allied patrol pattern of the Second Men's Military Academy that made the Jianqiao Military Academy numb to danger.
"There's a total of 22 people in there." As the scout, Luo Lang didn't need Ling Lan to order him and immediately turned on the thermal detector and determined the exact number of people in the tent.
"Zhao Jun, you support. Everyone else, we're battling using physical skills." Ling Lan instantly came to a decision. She was the first to open her c.o.c.kpit and jump out.
Everyone was hot on her trail and all flew to the ground. Zhao Jun looked on as Ling Lan led Qi Long, Luo Lang, Xie Yi, and Li s.h.i.+yu into the tent like monkey demons. He felt really miserable. Why did he leave him here to support? He wanted to fight toooooo.
Li Lanfeng enviously looked at the silhouettes of Qi Long and the others. He really hoped that he was the one who was following Ling Lan.He took a look at his own weak and entirely bandaged body and couldn't help but sigh.
Going against 22 people who weren't really on guard didn't give Ling Lan and the others any pressure. It was just that Qi Long, Luo Lang, and Xie Yi were brutal enough. They defeated a bunch in just a few seconds. This made Li s.h.i.+yu, who was extremely nervous, discover that he had nothing to do after he had knocked out only one opponent and was getting ready to go onto the next. He deeply felt that this team that he was in, whether it was its captain or its members, was made up entirely of a bunch of brutal individuals.
Ling Lan ordered her team members to lock the stunned opponents into their mecha, and then they searched around many times. After confirming that there weren't any more enemies, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the hot meals that the Jianqiao Military Academy had made, they were wild with joy. Although the nutrient solution's taste was pretty good thanks to Boss' modifications, they had already consumed it for many meals and couldn't take it anymore. Especially when it came to a glutton like Qi Long, his eyes were glowing green upon sighting the food.
Ling Lan picked up Li Lanfeng who was still in the mecha. Although Li Lanfeng wanted to walk himself, Ling Lan glanced at him and made him not dare to say anything that objected to her picking him up. "Wuwuwu, Rabbit's cold eyes are so cruel!"
Of course, Zhao Jun was still miserably guarding the mechas cautiously. Zhao Jun hid in the mecha and bit on his little handkerchief. "Wuwuwu, is it really okay for you guys to bully the new guy? That's despicable right?"
Now content with a full belly, Ling Lan made Qi Long switch places with Zhao Jun, asking him to come down from his mecha to rest up. When Zhao Jun finally ate the hot food he had been waiting for, he instantly cried tears of joy. He felt so happy and he finally felt alive again.
"Cough…" Li Lanfeng coughed uncontrollably. Ling Lan looked at Li s.h.i.+yu. Li s.h.i.+yu felt his pulse and calmly said, "It's alright. It's just the temperature inside the tent is lower than the c.o.c.kpit. Li Lanfeng's body can't get used it quickly."
"Do you want to go back to your mecha to rest?" Ling Lan asked with care. Li Lanfeng's injuries were severe. Ling Lan had taken it to heart all along. She was afraid that his injuries would worsen.
"No, it's alright. If I can't even get used to a temperature difference like this, how would I be able to go on the battlefield in the future? The conditions there won't have the same conditions we have here." Li Lanfeng raised the bowl of hot soup in his hand. Being able to drink a bowl of hot soup right now made his body and soul feel comfortable.
Ling Lan didn't oppose Li Lanfeng. It was just as Li Lanfeng had said. Right now, they were in the mecha tournament's battle royale. It was only simulating some of the environments on the battlefield. In reality, it wasn't difficult because their supplies and everything were fully prepared. If it was something he couldn't handle now, Li Lanfeng would definitely not be able to go onto a real battlefield.
Li Lanfeng drank a bowl of hot soup and felt much better. He then took out the map and spread it out on the ground. He pointed at the Second Men's Military Academy on the map and said, "Captain, the Second Men's Military Academy is here. They are around 147 kilometers away from us. It would take around 7 minutes to reach it with an advanced mecha's speed. There's only half the time left until the battle royale ends and that is 36 hours. I suggest that we hide here and wait for the very end. We attack when the Second Men's Military Academy's defense is at its weakest."
"How will that happen?" Ling Lan asked plainly.
"When Jiang Shaoyu leaves, that will be our opportunity to strike," Li Lanfeng said without hesitation.
Ling Lan lips perked up a bit and glanced towards Li Lanfeng. "You're that confident that Jiang Shaoyu will leave the headquarters?"
"I've carefully studied Jiang Shaoyu before. He is a strong-headed person who likes to perform. How can he give up on attacking to sit calmly in his headquarters?" Li Lanfeng's mouth showed a smile with a hint of confidence. "He will definitely lead a team and move out."
"What do you think he will do?" Ling Lan showed a hint of praise in her tone. Li Lanfeng's prediction was the same as her own. Now full of expectations, Ling Lan couldn't help but increase the difficulty for Li Lanfeng. She wanted to know whether or not Li Lanfeng could predict the timing at which Jiang Shaoyu would move out.
"After 12 hours, I believe, Jiang Shaoyu will use the last hours of daytime, which is the last 24 hours, to attack Area S and P," Li Lanfeng said decisively.
Ling Lan went silent for one second. Jiang Shaoyu was a rash person… When he found out that something had happened in Area S and P, could he really be patient enough to wait until the last 24 hours? However, moving out after 12 hours would not bring about any danger to them if anything happened during that time. Li Lanfeng's judgment was very accurate. Thinking to this point, Ling Lan nodded and said, "Then we move out after 12 hours."
Luo Lang saw that Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng had decided on the time to move out. Knowing that they had 12 hours to rest up, he was instantly overjoyed. He looked at the receiver in the tent and smilingly took out a transmitter from his pocket. "Then I'll make this headquarters into ours first."
Right when he moved, he heard the sound of a hidden weapon flying towards him. Luo Lang promptly dodged and caught the hidden weapon—it actually turned out to be a large metal pot. He immediately jumped up, exclaiming, "Hot, hot, hot!" The large pot was tossed between both of his hands. It wasn't because he didn't want to throw it on the ground, but because Luo Lang clearly felt the information that was being sent by Ling Lan's ice-cold glare. If he dared to throw it down, he would definitely be dead.
In this situation, even if Luo Lang felt like it was burning, he still wouldn't dare to throw it down easily. He could only change his hand to save the two hands that were being burned to a crisp.
Finally, the large pot was no longer hot, and Luo Lang then slowly put down the large pot. His looked at Ling Lan with grief and said, "Boss, why did you throw a big steel pot at me." That brutal steel pot was actually kicked towards him by Ling Lan.
"Turn on your calm personality." Ling Lan glared at him coldly. As expected, it was better for the normal Luo Lang to appear during normal times.
"You need something from me?" Luo Lang was very obedient. Right when Ling Lan finished speaking, he turned on his extremely calm personality.
"Save some intelligence for your original personality," Ling Lan said plainly.
The extremely calm personality's eyes lit up and showed a hint of dread. He hadn't expected that the boss of the original personality actually knew the secret of this talent.
"Next time, I don't want to see such a dumb Luo Lang." Ling Lan pointed her finger at the extremely calm personality. "Don't try to provoke me. When I defeated you guys, it was to increase Luo Lang's strength. It wasn't to let you guys take abilities from the original." Right when Ling Lan finished, a powerful wave of spiritual charge made the extremely calm personality shake. His face was pale, and his eyes were no longer calm. They actually showed fright, as though he had seen a ghost.
"If I can defeat you guys, then I can easily get rid of you guys! There's a limit to my patience." Ling Lan glared coldly at the extremely calm personality. The killing intent that was held up in her body was released. The thick killing intent made the extremely calm personality become even paler. He even felt that Ling Lan's expression that was full of killing intent was enough to swallow up this personality of his. What was this power that made the extremely calm personality be this surprised and frightened?
"I understand," replied the extremely calm personality as he bit his lip.
"Call me Boss!" Ling Lan's eyes coldly glared at him, her aura increasing once again. It pressured the extremely calm personality, making him unable to stand and uncontrollably kneel down.
"Yes, Boss!" replied the extremely calm personality with a pale expression.
"You understand what to do, right?" Ling Lan stared at him and continued.
"Yes, I know. I will discuss this with the other personalities."
"Discuss?" Ling Lan's eyes narrowed and her killing intent flashed by in an instant. The extremely calm personality suddenly felt his heart become cold as ice. He discovered that the original's boss really wanted to get rid of them, the personalities, and was not just saying it to scare him.
"I will notify them. We will definitely be able to do it." As expected, the extremely calm personality was extremely calm. He instantly made a decision and decided to completely submit to Ling Lan.
Ling Lan's eyes sparkled, the look in them switching between killing intent and hesitation. Luo Lang's talent was a double-edged sword. Although it could increase Luo Lang's capabilities, the original could easily be controlled by those other personalities… Perhaps getting rid of Luo Lang's talent was the safest choice for him.
How could the extremely calm personality not notice Ling Lan's hesitation and killing intent. He immediately said, "Give me another chance. We will crown the original as king."
Ling Lan's sudden pressure on Luo Lang's different personalities made everyone at the scene nervous. They knew that what Ling Lan was doing had meaning, and thus they just watched silently on the side. They didn't dare to make any noise to interrupt Ling Lan and Luo Lang.
Ling Lan started at the extremely calm personality for a few seconds. When the extremely calm personality almost couldn't handle it, Ling Lan finally said, "I hope you guys can do what you say. You can go back now."
Upon hearing Ling Lan's words, it was as though the extremely calm personality was reborn and he instantly disappeared. Luo Lang saw that he was kneeling, scratched his head, suddenly realized something and his expression changed a little bit.
"Do you know what happened?" Ling Lan asked indifferently.
Luo Lang's face color changed for a bit. After a while, he replied, "Thank you, Boss. I understand." He looked at the transmitter in his hand and laughed coldly. "If it wasn't for the fact that you discovered it, Boss, I would really have become an idiot. Those guys, they actually…" The anger on Luo Lang's face showed only for a second. They had actually silently taken way the intelligence that was his and he actually had no idea.
"It's because you're not strong enough yet. If you were strong enough, you would be king," Ling Lan said coldly.
Luo Lang nodded his head with great force. "I will definitely become stronger Boss. I will, definitely." His right hand instantly clenched together and the transmitter in his hand was crushed into pieces. The beautiful face of his showed a smile wrought with anger. It looked so demonic that it made it hard for others to look straight at. This made many of the onlookers involuntarily turn their eyes to the side…
If he had put the transmitter onto the receiver, all of the military academies in Area Q and Area M would know that Jianqiao Military Academy was taken over. He had almost done something so idiotic like exposing themselves just now… Luo Lang's eyes went cold from the thought. These personalities really did need a beating.
At the Second Men's Military Academy, Jiang Shaoyu received a new report. He looked at and frowned, saying, "I didn't think that the First Men's Military Academy, the First Co-ed Military Academy and the Third Men's Military Academy would form an alliance. They are now clearing the headquarters of the other military academies in areas S and P."
Upon hearing Jiang Shaoyu's words, one of the captains beside him worriedly said, "What do we do, Commander? Are we going to give up on Area P?"
"Give up? If we wait until they take down Area P entirely, even if we swallow up Area M and Q, our c.u.mulative score would still not as much as theirs. How could us, the Second Men's Military Academy, become fourth place?" Jiang Shaoyu denied that possibility.
"However, with our strength, if we wanted to go against the cooperation of the three military academies, it would be very difficult," another captain smiled bitterly and said.
"And their headquarters are all in Area S and P. Even if we wanted to set up a sneak attack, we wouldn't have the chance," said one captain who was going through the information on the report. He felt great dismay. How was it that those three academies were so lucky as to actually be placed into the two dream areas.
"They're all in Area S and P? No, that's not right…" Jiang Shaoyu seemed to have remembered something. He asked his deputy, "Zhuge, where is that map that we drew earlier?"
Zhuge smiled and set the mentioned map out in front of everyone. He pointed at Area G17. There, the First Men's Military Academy was indicated.
"What's happening?" One captain looked at the marking on the map and looked at the report in their hands. It was clearly written that the First Men's Military Academy was in Area S and the one guarding it was Qiao Ting.
"It's just a game of hide and seek. The First Men's Military Academy created a fake headquarters in Area S to fool everyone. The real headquarters was hidden by them. The person who came up with this plan is a genius. If it wasn't for the fact that we remembered the real location of the First Men's Military Academy, I would perhaps have been fooled as well." Zhuge's eyes showed some surprise. He was very curious as to whom had created this plan. It was definitely an insanely good move. Even he hadn't thought of this.
Jiang Shaoyu looked at Area G17 and immediately laughed out loud, saying, "A divine blessing from the heavens. I didn't think that Qiao Ting would be so daring and actually leave his headquarters."
Zhuge was not surprised. He smiled and asked, "Commander, are we preparing to attack G17?"
"You're the one who knows me best, Zhuge. Since they created a fake headquarters, I believe the defenses of the real headquarters in G17 won't be too strong. This is our chance. As long as we take down the First Men's Military Academy, all the points they have gained will be given to us. We will not give up first place to anyone," Jiang Shaoyu said coldly. The previous tournament games had made them lose a lot of their dignity. From the very beginning, he had thought to take revenge for the embarra.s.sment incurred through the battle royale.
Zhuge nodded and gave Jiang Shaoyu another piece of paper. Jiang Shaoyu opened this and his eyes showed that he was overjoyed. "So you've already arranged it, Zhuge."
"Yes. When I received word that the First Men's Military Academy was in Area S, and with Qiao Ting defending it, I created this plan and hoped could be of use to the commander."
"Of course it's useful. It's amazing. Your plan is to keep most of the military strength of the three big military academies in Area P… Hehe, the First Men's Military Academy, the Third Men's Military Academy—I will let them fall completely from the heavens. It's too bad that we made it easy for the First Co-ed Military Academy," Jiang Shaoyu said with regret.
"We don't have a choice. The First Co-ed Military Academy's headquarters is in the center of Area P. Our guys have no chance of getting close to there. I hope those allied forces are good enough and can take down the First Co-ed Military Academy's headquarters." It wasn't because Zhuge didn't want to swallow up all three big military academies, but because the First Co-ed Military Academy's location was at an advantage. No matter how he thought about it, it wouldn't be successful. It would even affect the other two plans. In the end, he had no choice but to give it up. However, although he said this, he still didn't think that the allied battle teams would succeed.
"We can only do it this way. However, having the First Men's Military Academy and the Third Men's Military Academy as trophies will be more than enough." Jiang Shaoyu wasn't too greedy.
Immediately moving out was better than just thinking about it. Jiang Shaoyu couldn't wait any longer. He quickly gathered up the battle teams, splitting them into going towards two directions. One direction was on the surface, composed of ten or more battle teams who would move towards Area S. Their target was the Third Men's Military Academy's headquarters.
The other half of battle teams was led by himself to quietly sneak into Area S. They prepared to go around Area P at the border and move into Area G.
"It is indeed a good plan. The real headquarters of the First Men's Military Academy has been exposed. It looks like the First Men's Military Academy and the Third Men's Military Academy will face the most difficult time in this battle royale." Those in the monitoring room who had discovered Jiang Shaoyu's movements began to worry for these two military academies.
"I think that I'm more worried about the Second Men's Military Academy," said one officer. He pointed at the headquarters of the Jianqiao Military Academy. Although it was still the Jianqiao Military Academy's headquarters on the surface, everyone in the monitoring room knew that it had already been taken over by that small mysterious team.
