Chapter 1076 Why?

“So, I found someone to lessen the burden on your shoulders. This person is quite talented, but how you use him will be on you. Don’t disappoint me,” said Ling Lan calmly.

Lin Zhong-qing held in the excitement in his heart and took a deep breath. Then, he calmly said, “Yes, Boss!”

Ling Lan waved her hand to tell Lin Zhong-qing that he could now leave.

Lin Zhong-qing saluted her and turned around to leave.

“Another thing…” Suddenly, Ling Lan’s voice rang from behind him. Lin Zhong-qing quickly turned around and waited for his boss’s next order.

“This is a military camp, so don’t call me ‘Boss’. Otherwise, you’ll be punished by military law.” Ling Lan sounded a bit helpless. She had already said it countless times, but these kids still blatantly broke the rule in front of her. Luckily, she was tolerant enough to ignore their mistakes.

However, she couldn’t continue to ignore their mistakes anymore as there were thousands of new recruits entering the clan, so they had to act like a clan not like some mafia gang. The reason she was suddenly being strict with that rule was to prevent these new kids from straying to the wrong path and becoming a group of bandits… Ling Lan couldn’t imagine herself being able to hide her embarra.s.sment when they called her ‘Boss’ so loudly in public.

“Understood, Boss!” Lin Zhong-qing replied loudly and smirked slightly.

Seeing his Boss shot him a cold yet helpless glance, Lin Zhong-qing left right away and disappeared from Ling Lan’s sight.

These guys want to watch the world burn!

Ling Lan rubbed her aching forehead… On the bright side, she finally managed to resolve Lin Zhong-qing’s issue. Lin Zhong-qing was too tightly bound to the logistics department and with the expansion of the mecha clan, his workload and the burden on his shoulders would increase tremendously, something Ling Lan didn’t want to see. This was why when she saw that Yan Zheng was a great logistician, she decisively made some calls and rea.s.signed him to 250 Ace Mecha Clan to help Lin Zhong-qing.

In the cafeteria, the 2500 or so soldiers were served with high-quality food and drinks. They thought that they were treated well because 250 Ace Mecha Clan was concerned that they would be hungry on their way back to the unused prep department, so they gave them a meal to ease their hunger. These soldiers were very grateful of 250 Ace Mecha Clan officers’ kind gesture.

However, their feeling of gratefulness quickly disappeared. When they were told that they were staying for special training for one more week for the a.s.sessment of logistics personnel, everyone became furious.

There was no doubt in their minds that 250 Ace Mecha Clan was humiliating them. Just as they were about to gather together and revolt against the decision, they saw a surprising scene when they were taken to the training grounds.

On the training grounds, thousands of outstanding cadets, majors, lieutenant colonels, senior colonels, elite and peak-level aces were taking on brutal training regimens. There were also instructors standing all around them with a few medical teams on hold.

No matter if it was elite ace operators or peak-level ones, or cadets who were looking forward to the merits of the future, or any other types of soldiers, they were all training on this training ground.

These soldiers completed different training regimens one after the other as if there wasn’t an end to it.

Finally, some soldiers who had reached their limits fell on the ground. The instructors closest to where they fell would only shout, “Stand up.”

Some soldiers stood up, while some couldn’t even stand even if they wanted to. When the instructors saw that they had really reached their limit, he would gesture towards the medical team to come over.

The instructors only seemed to be ruthless on the outside, but when someone were to actually reach their limit, he would still send a medical team to treat those soldiers. The soldiers from the unused prep department had this thought in their minds.

However, what happened next completely changed what they knew about the world.

One of the soldiers that fell down instantly became reinvigorated when the medical team came near him. He quickly pushed himself to get up and finally stood up just before the medical team could get near him. However, that was just his last spurt. After walking only a few more steps, he fell down on the ground once again.

However, he still didn’t give up. That soldier had a savage look on his face as he ignored the immense pain wrecking his entire body, he dug his nails into the hard ground and crawled forward slowly with all of his might.

Seeing the soldier could still move, the instructor waved his hand, signalling to the medical team to stop moving temporarily.

Why? Why did this happen? Why didn’t he accept the treatment? Why did he have to crawl forward until his last breath? The soldiers from the unused prep department couldn’t understand the reasons behind his desperation to continue.

However, their questions were quickly answered as there were still people who completely exhausted their energy and went unconscious. At that moment, the instructor would let the medical team go in and inject a medicinal agent into their bodies.

As expected, they were treating him… right?

The soldier that was injected instantly woke up with bulging eyes. This made the soldiers watching him breathe a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, these soldiers had terrified expressions on their faces.

“AH!” The soldier that just woke up suddenly screamed towards the heavens. His entire body began to struggle and squirm, and his face formed a horrified expression because of the pain.

“Just kill me! Just kill me!” That soldier was struggling so fiercely that he needed two medics to hold him down.

How painful must it be to make a soldier rather die than to accept the torment?

“If you can’t get past this, you’ll die even if you don’t want to die.” The medics who were holding that soldier down didn’t have any sympathy and instead sneered at him.

“AH!” That soldier screamed again with a sound that could send chills down everyone’s spines. He struggled even more. His eyes, ears, nose and mouth had black blood dripping out which made him look even more savage and terrifying. This scene terrified the soldiers watching from the side.

“Oww!” A large force suddenly came from the struggling soldier which sent the two medics flying. Right at that moment, an instructor who was watching from the side jumped up and used one hand to hold down the soldier who was struggling onto the ground to make sure he couldn’t move anymore.

“Thank you, Leader Liu.” The two medics quickly stood up and saluted towards the instructor who stepped in. It turns out, the instructor who stepped in was the Leader Liu Furong from Team 02.

“You actually couldn’t hold down an exhausted logistics personnel. Go back and train for three days,” Liu Furong said coldly.

After hearing the order, the faces of the two medics began to twitch, “Yes, Leader Liu.” Training for three days meant that they had to go through this terrifying experience three times… After thinking up to this point, the two of them instantly trembled at the thought.

The other medics on the other hand, became even more serious as they raised their awareness of their surroundings. They warned themselves that they must not follow in the footsteps of those two medics.

At that moment, everyone also discovered that the instructors, who were surrounding the training grounds, were all colonel rank officers, many were even senior colonels. The person who stepped in was a senior colonel. They were the type of existence these soldiers looked up to.

After remembering how the medics called him, everyone took in a deep cold breath. Could the 56 instructors standing around them actually be the team leaders of 250 Ace Mecha Clan?

The soldiers, not knowing how 250 Ace Mecha Clan was organized, believed that this mecha clan was full in terms of personnel and thus had 56 team leaders. In reality, some of the Federation’s top tier t.i.tled super mecha clans were composed with the amount of people of five to six standard clans combined. These t.i.tled super mecha clans had 400 to 500 mecha teams and were well-known across the entire galaxy

Even those elite ace operators, who were originally confident in themselves, had stunned expressions the instant Liu Furong stepped in to stop the soldier.

These instructors were too strong! And that medicinal agent that was injected into the soldier was terrifying as well.

The rebel spirit of these soldiers instantly cooled down.
