Ling Lan's eyes lit up. “You have it?” That's good news.
However, Li s.h.i.+yu's reply crashed all of Ling Lan's hope. “Not now.”
“Didn't you say that you'll prepare it for them if they need it?” Ling Lan asked him back.
“I need time to a.n.a.lyse how it's made. Or maybe the Jialan s.h.i.+p can bring some of it along when it comes back with the next batch of goods.” Ling Lan was very disappointed by Li s.h.i.+yu's words. No matter how fast the Jialan s.h.i.+p was, it would take at least two months to make a trip back. Including the time needed to load and unload the goods, it would take at least three months. That meant that she had to endure three months of her menses.
“No matter what, we should prepare all kinds of agents just to be careful,” Ling Lan said helplessly.
“I was in a rush when I came so I only had the time to bring the agents that we needed the most. I ignored those that aren't necessary,” Li s.h.i.+yu spoke righteously. Ling Lan was crying in her heart. Was she able to tell him that hormone suppressors were what she needed the most?
“Also, Boss, the thing that Luo Chao and Xuya want might do harm to their bodies. You should persuade them against using it.” Li s.h.i.+yu's expression was filled with worry. He sincerely hoped that his two younger sisters wouldn't use hormone suppressors.
“If they don't need to use it, I also hope that they won't use it either. However, no one knows what will happen in the future, so it's better to prepare while we can. It might be harmful but it's better than dying,” Ling Lan said calmly.
Li s.h.i.+yu trembled a little when he heard Ling Lan's words. He started self-reflecting. Was he too extreme when he rejected his younger sisters? After all, life was the most important thing. If you were dead, everything else would be useless.
Also, if there were really any harmful implications from using the hormone suppressor, they still had him, right?
Li s.h.i.+yu managed to convince himself. He nodded his head heavily and said, “I understand. Boss, after I finish making the healing agents, I will start researching on the medication Luo Chao and Xuya need.”
Since they needed to use it, he would rather make it himself. He had more confidence in his own medication… He didn't like hormone suppressors, but as a top-cla.s.s military doctor standing at the peak of the medical world, he knew all the formula of all the medication in the Federation, including hormone suppressors.
Now, he just needed to take out the portion that he felt would cause harm to the body or use other medications to suppress the harmful effects. That way, he might be able to create a hormone suppressor that he felt was safe.
“I'll rely on you then,” Ling Lan replied in a composed tone. The result wasn't as satisfying as what she expected but at least Li s.h.i.+yu didn't despise the thought of making hormone suppressors. This was extremely good news for her. She would be able to get the agent she needed from Li s.h.i.+yu and she didn't have to resort to think of other ways of finding it.
After that, Ling Lan disappeared from the laboratory. Li s.h.i.+yu shook his head with a bitter smile when he saw that he was alone again.
Boss personally came for such a small matter. It looked like Boss really placed much importance in his two fiancées.
By right, Li s.h.i.+yu should feel relieved. However, for some reason, he had a bitter feeling in his heart. It felt as if the younger sisters he doted so lovingly was being s.n.a.t.c.hed away. Although it was by his well-respected Boss, he wasn't able to chase away the sense of grief at the bottom of his heart.
This was probably the feeling of being an older brother. This was the first time he experienced this feeling. Li s.h.i.+yu was inexperienced in this area so naturally, he used this to explain his emotions.
As the battle royale at Kamoda got more chaotic, the mecha clans from both sides started engaging in violent fights. At the start, the result was evenly split but as time went by, Lord Zhen and Lord Gen's side started winning.
How did this happen? That was because after every huge fight, Lord Demon and Lord Li's mecha armies would be ambushed by a mysterious mecha clan.
There weren't many people in this mecha clan, but that was the exact reason why they were able to move around quickly and mysteriously. However, they would only appear after a mecha army had won a tough fight, taking them out instantly when they were fatigued from the earlier fight. On the other hand, if there were still a huge number of mecha operators left, this mysterious mecha clan would swiftly retreat after creating the first round of casualties. They really came and went like the wind. People were caught off their guards.
Lord Demon and Lord Li's army suffered heavy losses. Thus, they started collecting information on this mysterious mecha clan. But, there was too little information on them. They were unable to conclude within a short time if this mecha clan actually belonged to Lord Zhen and Lord Gen.
No one knew who they belonged to but the remaining mecha clans and mecha army of Lord Demon and Lord Li started keeping their guards up…
However, it was not very useful. After they fought a tiring battle with Lord Zhen and Lord Gen's army, when they were already tired and drained of energy, they would always meet the ambush of this mysterious mecha clan.
“Haha, Lanfeng, your strategy is really amazing.” After Zhao Jun once again easily annihilated a mecha clan that belonged to Lord Demon, he patted Li Lanfeng's shoulder and laughed excitedly.
“Don't be happy so early.” Li Lanfeng glanced at him. He didn't hide the look of pity in his eyes.
Zhao Jun's laughter was stuck in his throat. He remembered the first sentence Li Lanfeng said to him when they met. “You're dead.”
“What's wrong?” Zhao Jun asked in confusion. They just won a huge fight.
“Haha, fighting ten thousand people with 2000 men. You're really awesome!” Li Lanfeng mocked.
“I didn't have a choice then.” Zhao Jun touched his nose cheekily. After he calmed down, he realised that his decision at that time was indeed a little impulsive.
Fortunately, they had Military Doctor Li's Nuwa agent to help them. That was why they took the victory with only three casualties. If not, they might have to sacrifice close to a thousand mecha operators in order to win over their opponent. However, to Boss, this wasn't a victory at all. Only idiots would do something like this. This was a huge failure in his book.
“You need to explain to Boss after you go back.” Li Lanfeng scoffed. “However, I don't think you will have a chance.”
“Lanfeng!” Zhao Jun grabbed Li Lanfeng's shoulder and looked at him lovingly. “We are best friends, right?”
“No!” Li Lanfeng replied decisively.
“Lanfeng, you can't be so heartless,” Zhao Jun said with a pitiful expression.
“I'm not stupid.” Li Lanfeng wanted to break free from Zhao Jun's large hand. He didn't want to interfere in this affair.
Li Lanfeng was always someone who never allowed himself to get into a pa.s.sive or disadvantageous position. Based on the mistake that Zhao Jun made at the start, Ling Lan would definitely punish him. It would definitely be a torturous punishment too. He wouldn't be stupid to help Zhao Jun.
“No, you must help me.” Zhao Jun held Li Lanfeng's shoulder tightly. He wasn't willing to let him go.
Li Lanfeng didn't say much, but he understood that Boss was unhappy. If Boss was unhappy, he was dead, and the only person who could solve his problem was Li Lanfeng.
Everyone in Lingtian knew that Boss never changed his decision easily. If there was anyone that could make Boss change his mind, it was this sly fox Li Lanfeng.
