With the help of all the mecha operators, the search and rescue proceeded quickly and efficiently. Not only did they save the injured mecha operators from dying needlessly, but they also found many mecha operators from Hailiya who managed to survive.

As a humanitarian, Ling Lan would, of course, choose to rescue them. However, they had to wait until all the mecha operators from the Federation were treated first before it was their turn. It was up to them whether they were able to last until then.

Ling Lan sat in her c.o.c.kpit and looked at the busy logisticians below her. She quietly arranged the patrols and asked Little Four to use radio signals to supervise their surroundings. This was to prevent Hailiya from returning.

As she was observing everything silently and vigilantly, a familiar mecha flashed pa.s.sed her screen.

"Li Lanfeng!" Ling Lan gritted her teeth. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d was still operating his mecha.

"Yes, regiment commander." Li Lanfeng felt frustrated when he got caught. 'Why did I let my mecha enter Ling Lan's sights?'

"You are injured, so why aren't you getting treatment?" Ling Lan questioned him.

Li Lanfeng was the one who almost succeeded in taking down attacked He'er Li. But, he paid a huge price for his recklessness. He took the impact of two heavy blows from He'er Li. One of the blows came close to his c.o.c.kpit. Luckily, his c.o.c.kpit was not damaged but the residual force from the blow was still enough to injure Li Lanfeng.

"My injury is nothing. s.h.i.+yu needs to attend to more serious patients," Li Lanfeng replied quickly. He mustn't let Ling Lan know that he was seriously injured. If not, he would die a terrible death.

Li Lanfeng didn't go back to the base to recuperate because he realized the secret Ling Lan had mentioned about the Qi exercises. They were not only useful for recuperation, but they could also let the mecha operator regained his strength and energy after operating his mecha for a long period of time. Li Lanfeng was elated at his finding. Li Lanfeng had spectre abilities as he was born with powerful spiritual power. He used his spiritual power when using his domain and not his domain energy like Ling Lan and his other friends.

Li Lanfeng knew what it meant to him if he could replenish his spiritual power during a battle. Once he mastered this technique, he would be able to fight for longer periods of time. This advantage might not be apparent when he fights with someone much weaker or stronger than him but when his opponent was on par with him, this advantage would be a decisive factor.

Li Lanfeng had found this secret so he didn't want to go back to the base. He operated his mecha and started experimenting with this newfound technique. Li Lanfeng had a natural talent in mult.i.tasking, so after some time, he was able to understand how he could operate his mecha while practicing the Qi exercises. He was so happy that he forgot to evade Ling Lan. That was why he accidentally appeared in Ling Lan's sights, and hence got caught by her.

Ling Lan was not satisfied with his reply. She said coldly, "Even if it's just a small injury, we don't need an injured person to carry out the rescue mission. Go back to the base immediately and get treatment."

Did this b.a.s.t.a.r.d forget about his weak body? If he gained some hidden trauma because of this, all her efforts in the past few years would be in vain. Li Lanfeng looked scheming and reliable but in actual fact, he was as worrisome as Qi Long and Luo Lang.

Li Lanfeng detected Ling Lan's emotions. He felt that his injuries were not serious so he really didn't need any treatment but he didn't dare to say so. Everyone in Lingtian Battle Team knew that once their Boss made a decision, he wouldn't let anyone go against it.

"Yes, regiment commander." Li Lanfeng had no choice but to listen to Ling Lan. He controlled his mecha and quickly entered the base.

Ling Lan rubbed her temples as she sighed in her heart. When she looked up again, the tiredness in her eyes just now was gone. She resumed her cold expression. It was as if her emotions never change.

Four hours pa.s.sed. The sky started to turn dark. In the operation room, the logisticians had already hung a few lamps on top of the tents. Li s.h.i.+yu never stopped working for these past four hours as no one was able to replace him. Those with small injuries were taken by other people while the ones who were sent to him were those on the brink of death. Li s.h.i.+yu was like a G.o.d of life that was fighting with Hades for the life of the person lying in front of him.

Finally, Li s.h.i.+yu ended his last operation. When the patient got carried away, Li s.h.i.+yu picked up a new surgical knife instinctively, but a gentle small hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Brother s.h.i.+yu, the operations have all ended." Luo Chao's voice sounded beside him.

Li s.h.i.+yu looked up in a daze. He suddenly felt dizzy before he fell towards the ground. As he was falling, two small arms caught him. The small arms seemed weak but they were able to hold him up.

Li s.h.i.+yu closed his eyes. He had been looking down for a long time, so when he raised his head up again, he felt dizzy. It was normal. He just needed some rest.

When the dizziness subsided, Li s.h.i.+yu opened his eyes. He smiled at Luo Chao who was holding him. "I'm fine."

Luo Chao didn't say anything. She looked at Li s.h.i.+yu's pale face and took out an agent from her bag. Li s.h.i.+yu smiled. He gave Luo Chao and Han Xuya that strength recovery agent because he was afraid that something would happen to them. That agent would be able to save a person, as long as the person still had his last breath. It even had the ability to regrow an amputated limb. For the ladies, this agent had anti-aging effects too, an irresistible effect one might add. As long as a lady drinks this potion, she would maintain her looks for her entire life. She would only age when her life had reached its end.

The ingredient of this agent was the amazing plant they found during their land clearing mission. He named this ingredient the Nuwa plant. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he was only able to make 20 such agents using the available Nuwa plant.
