Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1244

Li Lanfeng didn't care about Xie Yi's opinion on the matter. He rushed out of the room hurriedly after giving the order.

At that moment, Ling Lan had already reached the mecha hold. She quickly boarded her mecha.

The logisticians in the mecha hold were shocked and excited to see her. They knew that they were in a dangerous situation when the base kept shaking and jumped around.

As the logisticians of the commander, these veteran logisticians quickly understood why their commander was here. They have been following Ling Lan for a long time as they went through the life-or-death experience on Planet Haijiao.

Just like in the past, their commander always appeared on the frontline during the most dangerous times. He would use his blood to clear a safe path for them.

“Quickly equipped the mecha with the best weapons.” The leader of the logisticians controlled his excitement and shouted to his team members.

They were unable to fight with their commander due to their lack of strength but they could prepare the best mecha for him to use. They would equip the mecha with the best weapons they could so that their commander would have a greater chance of survival.

“Yes!” Ling Lan's mecha logisticians quickly proceeded with their jobs at their leader's command.

Normally, the commander's mecha would already be prepared when the command to prepare for battle was given. However, equipping the weapons and recharging the energy was done only after the commander had decided to enter the battle.

Through this, we could see how outstanding the commander's logisticians were. They managed to equip the mecha in 30 seconds. Of course, it was easier to equip Ling Lan's mecha because she only had one set of weapons. Other mechas might have different weapons depending on the type of battle.

Ling Lan boarded her mecha and ejected out of Base Nebula under the guidance of a JMC.

Around ten seconds after Ling Lan was ejected out of the base, Li Lanfeng arrived at the launching port next to Ling Lan's.

Ling Lan stabilised her mecha once she was in s.p.a.ce. She floated in s.p.a.ce while she waited for Lord Jindao's arrival.

“Master, Li Lanfeng is coming.” When Li Lanfeng contacted the JMCs, Meng Lan told Little Four what happened.

Ling Lan was speechless. She frowned and scolded indignantly, “What the h.e.l.l is he doing?”

Ling Lan knew that she had little chance of surviving a battle with a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator. The difference in ability couldn't be made up with courage and perseverance. Even if Li Lanfeng came, he would just be adding to the death count.

Ling Lan didn't choose to sacrifice herself because she wanted to be a hero or because she couldn't bear to watch her men getting killed.

She knew that staying in the base would only allow her to survive for a few more minutes. Little Four calculated that one minute and three seconds later, Lord Jindao would catch up with base Nebula. Everyone on Base Nebula could only wait for death then.

They had requested for help the moment Lord Jindao appeared but there was no reply from the Federation. After a while, Little Four realised that someone had blocked all signals from reaching or leaving this area. Their distress signal wasn't sent out. Nothing could be sent out. To get out of this blocked zone, they needed four minutes and forty-seven seconds.

However, Lord Jindao would reach them in one minute and three seconds. They had no chance of escaping. What was the point of staying in the base then?

Ling Lan knew that everyone would die if they remained in the base. However, if she sacrificed herself, there might be a chance her men could escape.

Ling Lan wasn't really a cold-blooded or ruthless person. She wouldn't let her subordinates die just because she couldn't live. She wasn't a psychopath. She had her morals. She chose the path that benefited the most people.

'Since there was no way I can live, why not choose the most worthy way of dying?' This was Ling Lan's thought when she decided to fight with Lord Jindao.

Ling Lan chose to risk her life because she knew that she wouldn't be able to escape death. However, Li Lanfeng had the chance to live. Yet, he acted rashly and came to seek death. Ling Lan was so angry she almost vomited blood.

Why couldn't he let her die a valuable death?

“Hurry up and go back.” Ling Lan contacted Li Lanfeng immediately before he ejected out of the base.

“Rabbit, I said that I will fight with you.” Li Lanfeng was firm. In the next second, his mecha was ejected out of the base.

“You!” Ling Lan was furious. Wasn't Li Lanfeng a selfish person? What happened to him this time? Was there something wrong with his brain? Why did he become so stupid?

Li Lanfeng operated his mecha and flew beside Ling Lan. He smiled and said, “I can't catch up with Base Nebula now.” Their mechas weren't G.o.d-cla.s.s mechas. It couldn't travel so fast.

“You took the wrong medicine.” Ling Lan took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She knew she couldn't push Li Lanfeng away now

“Yes. I think so too.” Li Lanfeng smiled happily. He didn't mind Ling Lan mocking him.

Ling Lan wanted to reply to him but she suddenly sensed danger. “He's here. Move aside. Reinforce me whenever needed.”

Li Lanfeng quickly controlled his mecha and retreated. His mecha created a line in s.p.a.ce. In an instant, he was a few thousand meters behind Ling Lan.

While Li Lanfeng was moving back, a huge mecha suddenly appeared within Ling Lan's line of sight. Ling Lan immediately pulled the trigger of her long-range beam gun.

A beam shot out. It landed accurately at the place Lord Jindao appeared.

“Huh?” Lord Jindao raised his eyebrows in surprise. The Divine s.h.i.+eld system of his mecha was activated instantly to block the attack.

“Interesting. He managed to accurately predict my position and my speed.” Lord Jindao glanced at Base Nebula. Then, he looked at the mecha which shot him. He wanted to see what the mecha looked like. Once he destroyed Base Nebula, he would come back and finish this mecha.

However, a familiar totem entered his view. His expression changed slightly. He stopped his mecha and floated in s.p.a.ce.
