<h4>Chapter 1081 Sleepwalk!</h4>
Yu Huan, who was in themand center, received a report from the spaceport.
He raised one of his eyebrows and said, “This is interesting.” He wondered if the mecha n 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 n 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 inte 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 n was one of the top titled super mecha ns 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 n is not a simple mecha n. I wonder what kind of person their regimentmander 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 spaceport. The regimentmander of Lingtian Mecha n ising over with his men.” Yu Huan frowned slightly. The captain of the spaceport 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 exin 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 Neb received Ling Lan’s request and contacted Yu Huan about it.
“Major General Ling...” Yu Huan frowned. The regimentmanders for new titled super mecha ns were usually colonels. A lieutenant colonel was good enough to be a regimentmander.
“Major General? It seems like Lingtian is not a simple mecha n.” Ke Yufeng sat up straight.
“Let him in.” Ke Yufeng’s words helped Yu Huan regained his senses so he quickly gave hismand 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 regimentmander.
The three people were all wearing blue and white uniforms. The regimentmander had his head down so Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng couldn’t see his face. They just felt the malevolent aura around the regimentmander. The great sense of danger emanating greatly shocked Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng.
“That is a dangerous person!’ They exchanged nces with each other andmunicated through their eyes.
This dangerous person had the major general badge in front of his chest.
This was the regimentmander of Lingtian Mecha n, 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 vignt after they confirmed the person’s identity 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!
Damn it, it’s already astonishing enough for the regimentmander to be a major general. Why was there another major general? When did major generals be so cheap? There were two major generals in a mecha n that just became a titled super mecha n.
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.
“Regimentmander, the door is opened.” Yang Mingzhi noticed his regimentmander 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 n to do what she did at Base 013 again if themanding officer in this base wanted to suppress her. However, this n 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 n... Lingtian Mecha n 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 regimentmander made the recruits realized that the past few days, which they felt was like hell, was actually their most rxed 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 bumped 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 themanding officer of Base Neb, Yu Huan. Wee to Base Neb, Regiment Commander Ling.” Yu Huan regained his senses and hurried over. He smiled and weed the three people.
“Nice to meet you. I’m the regimentmander of the Lingtian Mecha n, 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 passing the information of the mineral veins to the military. Hence, with Ling Xiao’s help, on the day before Lingtian Mecha n came to Base Neb, Liu Furong was finally promoted to a major general. He became the third major general of Lingtian Mecha n.
After introducing Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi, Ling Lan went into a daze. She started sleepwalking again.
“Wee! Wee!” 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 titles.”
“Of course. When the military gave the title 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 titles soon.” Ke Yufeng was reminiscing about the past.
Every twenty years, the military would award titles to the outstanding mecha operators of the era. In some twenty year cycles, there might be no one who was awarded a title. 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 title. As a god-ss operator, he didn’t have to be awarded this title.
However, this title represented the hope of the citizens of the Federation. They hoped that Ling Xiao woulde 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 yearter, the new bestowing ceremony will be held. I wonder what kind of outstanding people would be given a title.” Yang Mingzhi looked at Ling Lan as he spoke. If no idents happened, their regimentmander would be bestowed a title.
“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 proiming 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 n. Yet, their positions made them question their guesses again. Were they wrong? The regimentmander of Lingtian Mecha n, 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 regimentmander, 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 ns 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.
Damn it, other mecha ns passed him their registration documents automatically but for the Lingtian Mecha n, he had to ask for it.
“Cough!” When Yang Mingzhi didn’t see any reactions from Ling Lan, he knew that his regimentmander 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 regimentmander now. He gave a wry smile and said, “Our regimentmander felt that it is his responsibility so he muste personally.”
After exining, he turned to Liu Furong. “Major General Liu, pass the documents to Major General Yu.”
“Yes, Leader Yang.” Liu Furong took out the documents he kept and passed 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 documents andpared the symbols on the paper. He made sure that the symbols were correct before proceeding to the mainframe and activating hismanding officer authority. After that, he entered the information of the Lingtian Mecha n into the mainframe.
This was when Lingtian became an official mecha n of Base Neb. If its information was not entered into the mainframe, it was just a temporary mecha n that came to Base Neb 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 n. “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 n was the best camping ground in Base Neb. It was five times bigger than the average camping grounds. It could fit around 40 thousand people. No matter how huge a mecha n was, it would at most have 8000 people. This camping ground was big enough to let any sized mecha n to live afortable life.
“Sorry to trouble you,” Yang Mingzhi said gratefully.
“It is nothing. Base Neb 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, regimentmander, hurry up ande back. We can’t continue this anymore.’ (Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong felt resentment in their hearts)
“Regimentmander!” Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi couldn’t handle it anymore so they shouted to remind their regimentmander.
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 shed by them.
‘Yay! Our regimentmander 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 reced by a cold aura.
Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng couldn’t help but shiver 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 regimentmander’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.
