Chapter 877: It Could Only Be Me!

“Lanfeng, if I’m afraid of danger, I won’t be able to improve.” Zhao Jun was resolute. “I already missed my chance to advance on Planet Azure. I don’t want to miss this chance again.”

“Even if you might die?” Li Lanfeng told Zhao Jun every possible outcome.

“Yes,” Zhao Jun replied firmly.

“I’m just a commoner. If I didn’t befriend you and follow Boss Ling Lan, I might be satisfied with my current status. However, if I stop moving forward now, I won’t be able to find my position in Lingtian anymore.” Zhao Jun seemed a little lost. “There is no weakling in Boss Ling Lan’s team. Lanfeng, you are afraid of being abandoned by Ling Lan, right? Me too! I don’t want to be left behind alone. I don’t want to see your backs anymore. I don’t want to get further and further away from all of you. I want to fight with you all and walk till the end with everyone.”

Zhao Jun revealed his true thoughts. Li Lanfeng had been lost before, and so did he. Li Lanfeng accompanied Ling Lan for a period of time when he was young but he didn’t. The distance between him and Ling Lan’s team was the greatest. Although his Boss tried his best to be fair, he could still feel the difference between him and the other people. Xie Yi was in the same awkward position as him. However, Xie Yi was in a slightly better situation than him, as he had been with Ling Lan for a longer period of time.

The person who couldn’t find his position in Ling Lan’s team was him. He kept this uneasiness deep inside his heart, but this feeling of uneasiness It gave him a strong desire to become more powerful.

Li Lanfeng was shocked after hearing what Zhao Jun had said. He didn’t expect the confident and aggressive Zhao Jun to feel unconfident too. This feeling of uneasiness ballooned even further when Zhao Jun couldn’t advance to the domain stage when seemingly everyone around him was already in the domain stage. Hence, he wanted to challenge the impossible this time.

“Fine.” Li Lanfeng finally replied after keeping quiet for some time.

“I’ll give you a chance. However, you must promise me that you’ll come back safely.” Li Lanfeng stared at Zhao Jun intently with eyes filled with sincerity and seriousness. Zhao Jun managed to convince him, and as Zhao Jun’s close friend, he must support his decision.

“Lanfeng, thank you for trusting me. I’ll definitely come back.” Zhao Jun nodded and quickly left the command center.

Li Lanfeng looked at Zhao Jun’s back and felt complicated. He was touched and consoled at the same time. However, most of his heart was filled with a strong fighting desire. He whispered to himself, “It seems like I’m not the only one who doesn’t want to be abandoned by you. But, I’ll not lose to anyone. Rabbit, the person beside you has to be me. It can only be me.”

At this moment, Ling Lan and Qi Long made use of their radar system which was more advanced than Hailiya’s radar system, evading many of the patrolling mechas around them. As time went by, more search parties were sent out by the various bases. The search area got bigger and bigger. It was harder for Ling Lan to evade their enemy.

Yet, they were only halfway between the first line of defense and the second line of defense.

“Boss, there is a patrol team 13 degrees to our right and another one at 30 degrees.” Qi Long looked at the two teams on his radar and instantly reported to Ling Lan.

“Calculate their widest searching range. We’ll go around it.” Ling Lan was decisive.

“70 degrees to the left. We can evade them if we move at our fastest speed,” The deputy leader of team 03, Jin Lin, answered Ling Lan immediately.

Without waiting for Ling Lan’s command, the mecha operators from team 03 accelerated their mechas to its fastest speed and flew at low heights in the 70 degree direction. They managed to escape the radar of their enemies just in time.

After escaping many dangers, everyone’s back was soaked full of sweat. They were at a state of high alert every second. If they were found, they would really be surrounded and have almost zero chance of escaping. Before they could heave a sigh of relief, their radar sounded again. Red dots that represented their enemy blinked furiously. This time, there were as many as five teams. They came towards them like a fan. Unless Ling Lan retreated, they wouldn’t be able to evade them.

“Boss?” Qi Long asked nervously.

“Land immediately and activate the chameleon system,” Ling Lan ordered in her cold voice. They mustn’t be discovered now.

The mechas quickly flew down and activated their chameleon system. They concealed themselves perfectly.

The chameleon system was hard to get but it was nothing to Ling Lan, as nothing was too hard for her to get. To ensure the safety of the mecha operators in her mecha clan, she personally went to look for He Xuyang and got these rare chameleon systems. Because of this, He Xuyang ordered his subordinates to reject all of Ling Lan’s calls and visits in the future. This showed how frightened He Xuyang was.

This was the reason why Ling Lan dared to bring Qi Long along. Although having the chameleon system didn’t mean that they were 100% safe, it could still fool the normal mecha operators from Hailiya but in the face of the imperial operators, Ling Lan wasn’t sure if they would be fooled too. She suspected that these people had systems that could decode the chameleon system.

Five patrol teams flew past them. They didn’t seem to have noticed them. Ling Lan felt relieved. She waited for them to leave the range of her radar before letting team 03 moved again. They rose 50 meters into the air and flew low.

“Boss, they came again.” After some time, another patrol team appeared on the radar.

“Hide!”

Everyone activated the chameleon system again.

“Damn it. We couldn’t find those thieving rats after searching for so long. Where did those bastards go?” This was a small team from the God-Killers. They had been searching for a few hours but found nothing. This made these elites of the elites furious and impatient.

“Li Ang, our regiment commander said that they might have split up. That’s why he asked us to search carefully. Everyone, be cautious. We’ll definitely find them.” As the team leader of this team, Jia Na calmly reminded his team members that their regiment commander had predicted this situation.

“Do you think that they are hiding?” One of the team members voiced out his thoughts.

“Even if they’re hiding, we’ll find them. We have the most advanced searching system. It is able to detect even the slightest anomaly,” another team member said proudly.

Their country had been preparing for this battle for a long time. The mechas they were operating now were specially built for this war too. It looked like a normal ace mecha but the equipment inside had reached the basic requirements of an imperial mecha. When they operated normal ace mecha, they would only be able to unleash half their abilities. Now, if they operate their current mechas as per normal, they could unleash 70% of their ability. If they were good enough, they might even be able to reach 80%. In simpler words, they were invincible among ace mecha masters.
