Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1068

Chapter 1068 Let Him Go!

Yan Zheng was a responsible chief but he didn't earn much respect from those unruly soldiers.

Qiu Yang ignored Yan Zheng and stared at Ling Lan intently. He looked up slightly and sneered. “Regiment Commander Ling, are you not willing to give us this chance?”

Qiu Yang knew that Regiment Commander Ling was their only chance to leave this h.e.l.l-hole. There was a very slim chance of this succeeding, but it was still better than doing nothing and wasting their lives here.

Yan Zheng realized this when he heard Qiu Yang. He turned around and waited eagerly for Ling Lan's reply. If Qiu Yang was able to gain this opportunity for the soldiers in his department, he would be happy for them too. Of course doing so, they must not destroy the chances of those 32 elite ace mecha masters.

Ling Lan looked at Qiu Yang coldly. The icy glare caused Qiu Yang to feel a chill down his spine. He started to wonder if he acted too rashly. At this moment, Ling Lan said, “Since you want a chance, sure. I'll give it to you.”

A portion of the soldiers in the room got excited when they heard this. These people were mecha operators who were very close to reaching the elite ace level. Just like what Qiu Yang said, this was their only chance to get out of this h.e.l.l-hole. No matter how slim the chances of them succeeding were, they must try it.

“Not only those soldiers who are close to elite ace can partic.i.p.ate. Any soldiers who think that they have the ability can take part in the a.s.sessment. However, the a.s.sessment will start today.” Ling Lan sneered. “Of course, those that are useless and not confident, don't come. There is no luck in 250 Ace Mecha Clan's a.s.sessment. If you make a mistake, you might even die.”

Ling Lan said everything calmly but the soldiers in the cafeteria felt as though her voice was exploding beside their ears. They looked fearful.

250 Ace Mecha Clan lacked people but Ling Lan didn't want to take in any useless people. Hence, she decided to use her spiritual power to eliminate a bunch of soldiers who had weak willpower first.

If she had a lot of time, she wouldn't do this. However, her father told her that the military would give 250 Ace Mecha Clan their verdict around ten days later. This was the result after her father tried his best to drag the time.

Within these few days, she must blend everyone together. If not, internal problems might occur and if that really happened, she wouldn't be able to handle so many problems coming from all different directions.

Once again, Ling Lan realized how lucky she was to have her father behind her protecting her.

Ling Lan hoped that her mecha clan would be sent to the 13th division. With Qi Long's father as the general of the 13th division, everything would be easier for them. If something really happened, she could just throw Qi Long to his father and let his father vent his anger on Qi Long.

In a faraway place, Qi Long, who went with Han Jijyun to recruit soldiers from a corps, shivered. He felt cold all of a sudden.

“What happened? Are you sick?” Han Jijyun immediately noticed his strange behaviour and asked him in concern.

Qi Long rubbed his arms quickly to disperse the chill. He shook his head. “No, I just suddenly feel cold all of a sudden. It's better now.”

Han Jijyun looked at the bright and sunny sky. Then, he turned and said to Qi Long seriously, “We must work hard and not pull anyone down. You know how brutal our regiment commander is when he gives punishments.”

Han Jijyun believed in Qi Long's instinct. It looked like their situation was quite bad.

Qi Long instantly understood what Han Jijyun meant. He rolled up his sleeves and revealed his muscular arms.

“What are you doing?” Han Jijyun asked curiously.

“It looks like we have to do it the forceful way,” Qi Long said seriously. They waited for half a day but the representative from the corps still hadn't appeared yet. Qi Long didn't want to wait anymore.

Qi Long was a bold person. He had a general as his father too. No one would dare to have any opinions against the heir of a division.

Qi Long pressed his communicator. “Deputy Leader Sun.”

“Leader!” Sun Yaofei's voice came from the communicator.

“Time to move!” Qi Long ordered.

“Yes!” Orderly footsteps could be heard from the communicator.

Qi Long smiled. With the help of his deputy and his team members, they wouldn't be the last to complete their mission.

Qi Long and his team started s.n.a.t.c.hing soldiers from the corps. They would s.n.a.t.c.h anyone that they were interested in. What to do to those soldiers who didn't want to follow them? The answer was to just simply knock them unconscious and carry them away. The logistics department of 250 Ace Mecha Clan had already prepared many hover cars for them in case this situation happened. They were for carrying these unconscious people.

The Middle Second Corps was in a frenzy. However, if they didn't use their mechas, none of them was Qi Long's match, but without the orders from the headquarters, they wouldn't be able to use their mechas. Hence, by the time the commander of the Middle Second Corps rushed over upon receiving the news, Qi Long had already left with all the mecha operators he s.n.a.t.c.hed. Only a bunch of tumbleweed was left behind.

“Commander, this… this is too much.” The adjutant who came with the commander was furious when he saw this.

The commander wanted to curse out loud but he took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, it's too much.”

“Commander, shall we report this to the headquarters and ask them to remove them from their positions as team leaders?” The adjutant suggested.

The commander remained silent for a moment. “We can't.”

“Why not? 250 Ace Mecha Clan is not Ling… that person's mecha clan anymore. No one can protect them.” The adjutant didn't mention Ling Lan's name. After knowing that Ling Lan was Ling Xiao's son, the adjutant never dared to call Ling Lan by her full name anymore.

“You don't know anything. If Qi Long didn't betray the Federation, he wouldn't be affected by anything.” The commander knew more of the Federation's secrets than his adjutant.

“Huh?” The adjutant was stunned.

The commander looked at his confidant. To prevent him from offending people he shouldn't, the commander explained, “Qi Long is Qi Yaoyang's son.”

The adjutant gasped. He always thought that Ling Lan was the only prince in 250 Ace Mecha Clan, but surprisingly there was another Prince Qi below him. Although Qi Yaoyang was the general of the 13th division and didn't belong to the 23rd division, he was still a general. Even their general, Ling Xiao, had to give some respect to Qi Yaoyang.

“What should we do now?' The adjutant didn't dare to give any more ideas. He couldn't offend a prince of a division.

“What should we do?” The commander replied helplessly, “Let him go.”

Since their soldiers were already s.n.a.t.c.hed by Qi Long, there was nothing else they could do. Were they supposed to s.n.a.t.c.h them back? They already received the order from the headquarters for their corps to cooperate with them.
