Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1275

Chapter 1275 Helpless!

Little Seven finally found a deserted satellite base to dock the Destruction Devil at. Little Seven carefully controlled the 7th Bugle Call and docked onto its port.

Li Lanfeng saw the cargo doors to the main hull slowly opening, so he held onto Ling Lan's mecha and flew into the main part of the s.h.i.+p. On the other side of the tail area of the s.h.i.+p, Luo Lang also flew inside the s.h.i.+p. After finding the mecha hold to dock their mechas, Li Lanfeng crawled out his mecha with a b.l.o.o.d.y and battered body. Even with such heavy injuries, he didn't tend to his injuries but instead went directly to Ling Lan's mecha.

He opened a latch near Ling Lan's c.o.c.kpit, revealing a keypad that could manually open the c.o.c.kpit from the outside. Li Lanfeng carefully keyed in the pa.s.scode for the c.o.c.kpit to open. Stepping backward a few steps, Li Lanfeng saw Ling Lan lying inside there with blood and grime sticking all over her mecha suit. It would be difficult to get her out of mecha suit without injuring her any further.

Having no choice, Li Lanfeng took a deep breath and grabbed a multipurpose knife he kept in his pocket. He concentrated his gaze and slowly cut open the suit inch by inch before carefully pulling Ling Lan out.

This was his first time seeing Ling Lan so weak and fragile. Back when they were on Planet Haijiao, he was commanding the battle in the base so didn't see what Ling Lan was like when she was sent to the medical department. Despite knowing Ling Lan was severely injured and being very worried about Ling Lan, he didn't see it for his own eyes so he didn't feel as much pain as he was feeling right now. If it was possible, he didn't want to see Ling Lan like how she was right now ever again. He liked to see the dominant Ling Lan standing before him, snorting coldly at him and smacking him down with one hit then saying, 'Li Lanfeng, don't make me look down on you…'

That was the version of Ling Lan he loved and wanted to see.

Even with turbulent emotions wrecking them internally, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang slowly collected themselves as this stars.h.i.+p was still unfamiliar territory so they were still not really safe. They quickly took out the medicinal agent they had pre-prepared in their mechas and fed them to Ling Lan.

Right at that moment, a door connecting to the corridor of the s.h.i.+p suddenly opened. Major General Tian Fang was bringing medical personnel to the mecha hold.

“How is Lieutenant General Ling doing?” Tian Fang asked worriedly.

Although General Ling Xiao might have perished, his admiration for both Ling Lan and Ling Xiao had not diminished in the slightest.

In reality, Tian Fang and Luo Yang already had some clues on how General Ling Xiao fell into this trap. If the Federation didn't secretly allow it, Caesar, Twilight and the Aran Alliance wouldn't have been able to send out this many G.o.d-cla.s.s operators to the battlefield at the Twilight Empire. It was clear that this battle was clearly a plot against the general, and the Federation definitely had a hand in it. This undoubtedly hurt the love these soldiers had for their nation. Even if it was just a normal general, they still wouldn't be able to accept it, not to mention the person was the idol of all the soldiers, General Ling Xiao. “It's no surprise, politics are disgusting and sinful.” After being disappointed by the Federation, they accepted the fact that Little Seven had taken them away from the Federation. Otherwise, Little Seven would not have piloted the Destruction Devil out of the Federation without any obstruction. The reason why everyone on the 7th Bugle Call calmly accepted it was because Tian Fang and Luo Yang told everyone the reason behind leaving the Federation. Of course, it was also mostly due to the fact that most of the people on the 7th Bugle Call were part of Tian Fang's original crew. This was why Ling Xiao was confident in them. Tian Fang wasn't like other regiment commanders, who would be afraid of their subordinates separating themselves to factions and then losing control of them in the end.

Ling Xiao was confident in his own capabilities and the strict regulations of the 23rd Division. Even if these stars.h.i.+p commanders were to take their confidants with them and become factions on their own, they still would function as one during a war and fight bravely against the enemies of the Federation and the 23rd Division.

Ling Xiao's way of doing things, along with the strict yet fair regulations, did indeed make all of the commanders in the 23rd Division loyal and happy at the same time. It was just like Tian Fang's 7th Bugle Call. Once their commander gave an order to fight, they would most definitely rush to the front lines. They wouldn't change their course just to protect themselves.

After hearing Tian Fang's question, Li Lanfeng shook his head depressingly, “Our commander's condition isn't good. He is injured too severely.”

“I have already prepared a surgery room for Lieutenant General Ling. I request Major General Li and Senior Colonel Luo to take him there,” suggested Tian Fang.

Right as Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang were about to nod in agreement, Ling Lan opened her eyes and said with a soft voice, “Unnecessary. Just give me a quiet room. I will treat my own wounds.”

“Commander, your wounds need immediate treatment.” The veins on Li Lanfeng's forehead were popping. He held back his anger and spoke softly.

“I know my wounds. I know how to treat myself better.” Ling Lan stared at Li Lanfeng with a look of determination. Her gaze told Li Lanfeng to not go against her will.

The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds. In the end, Li Lanfeng gave in and said, “Alright. However, if things get worse, don't blame me for forcing you to get treatment.”

“Okay.” Ling Lan knew she just needed to give Li Lanfeng a peace of mind. Otherwise, that guy would definitely use forceful methods. With her current condition, if he was to force her to do something, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it. What was more important was that she didn't want her ident.i.ty as a female to be exposed before reaching the top of the food chain of the galaxy.

Soon, Tian Fang had prepared a private room for Ling Lan. Li Lanfeng held Ling Lan in his arms and slowly laid her on a soft mat.

The medic who followed them quickly put the bandages and treatment agents Ling Lan requested on the coffee table on her side.

Li Lanfeng knelt half way down beside Ling Lan and asked softly, “Do you need me to help you…”

“I don't have any thoughts of marrying a male just yet.” Ling Lan took the bandages and lowered her head towards Li Lanfeng and said indifferently, “I think you also don't want to get married to me.”

Li Lanfeng's mouth writhed as he swallowed the words 'I want to'. At this current moment, in this current situation, it wasn't a suitable time for him to confess his feelings. Ling Lan was already injured badly, she should not be bothered by his emotions and should just concentrate on healing herself.

Li Lanfeng was usually selfish, but that was only towards others. When it was Ling Lan, he would always let Ling Lan dictate everything. At that moment, Ling Lan needed time, rest and peace. Even if he wanted to tell Ling Lan about his feelings, he still needed to hold them in. He could only wait for Ling Lan to slowly recover from her injuries. Only after everything had returned to normal, would he consider confessing his feelings to Ling Lan.

“Alright. I'll be outside. If you need anything, just call me.” After receiving a peace of mind, Li Lanfeng stood up, slowly walked towards the door of the room and closed the door.

He leaned on the door and slid down to the floor slowly. Then he patiently waited for Ling Lan to call him.

At that moment, Li Lanfeng had already forgotten that his injuries were not light either. Just holding Ling Lan tightly in his arms reopened the injuries on his body. After waiting in a daze for a short while, the place where he sat down had a pool of blood under him. Luckily, he could recover pretty quickly so the blood gradually stopped flowing as his wounds began to heal.

However, Li Lanfeng was not aware of what was happening to him. He was only focused on listening to the movements in the room behind him. As long as Ling Lan needed him, he would rush in at a moment's notice.

Ling Lan slowly unzipped her clothes and took them off piece by piece. Her underwear was stuck on her wounds because the crusty and dried up blood. Separating them from her body was the same as opening all the wounds. However, this pain wasn't anything Ling Lan couldn't handle.

“Little Four, did you ascertain that there's no surveillance equipment here?” Ling Lan was always careful so she began to ask Little Four about the situation around her.

However, Little Four, who usually loved to speak, didn't make any sound.
