Very soon, all the mecha operators were split into 10 teams. There was an average of 22 people per team. The remaining three of each team were still sleeping in the dormitory.

The 10 team leaders rushed to the dormitory district with their team members and kicked opened the closed door without any hesitation. Their regiment commander said that the last team to complete this mission would be punished. The entire team would have to run 30 km with weights on.

The mecha operators were not afraid of running 30 km. They hadn’t been running for a while but their foundations were still there. However, they dread carrying weights. The weights that Ling Lan asked Chang Xinyuan to bring over were not the normal 5 kg or 10 kg weights. One set weigh 150 kg.

A person who reached refinement was able to lift more than 500 kg of weight but that was just for a short moment. It was different from carrying the weights for a long period of time. Even at their peak physical state, the mecha operators could only run 10 km with 150 kg of weight on them. But, with their current physique, they might only be able to run for 5 km. 30 km… they might just die halfway.

No one wanted to die. They had given up on themselves but they didn’t want to die. Hence, the mecha operators accepted their team leaders without any retaliation. Although most of them belonged to Lingtian, they had no objections.

No, that’s impossible. It’s just that in their situation, they had to put down their unhappiness and focus on completing the mission together.

When these mecha operators saw their comrades wandering alone in the dormitory district, they pounced on them like a tigress who saw a deer. They grabbed the person tightly and dragged him to find Li s.h.i.+yu.

Every team was doing the same thing. Within a short time, all the remaining mecha operators in the dormitory were taken away by the ten teams.

Ling Lan relaxed when she saw the empty training ground. She asked in a low voice, “Little Four, am I doing the right thing?”

She was confused about her decision. The training she planned was extremely tough. The people going through the training were her brother-in-arms as well as mecha operators who had many achievements. They were not her enemies. Was this the correct decision to make?

“Anything you do is right!” A cute voice sounded in her mindscape. The person who replied to her was Little Blossom. Ling Lan remembered that Little Four was still sleeping, as he needed to evolve. Little Blossom was the one accompanying her now.

“Everything I do is right? What do you know?” Ling Lan knocked Little Blossom’s head. Little Blossom was obedient. If she didn’t give any order, Little Blossom would not do anything on his own. If she gave a decision, Little Blossom would support her entirely. He was not like Little Four who liked to do stuff behind her back and always give her stupid ideas.

However, she missed Little Four. She missed the person who always created trouble for her.

“Master, do you miss Little Brother Four?” Little Blossom could sense Ling Lan’s thoughts. He bit his fingers in confusion. As a newborn, he was unable to understand why his master missed Elder Brother Four. He couldn’t comprehend the relations.h.i.+p between his master and Little Four.

“Yes, I miss him. I don’t know when he will wake up, whether his evolution is successful, and whether he is in danger.”

“Don’t worry, Elder Brother Four is strong. Nothing will happen to him. Also, Elder Brother Four thinks the same way as me. You are the most powerful person I know. Anything you do is right,” Little Blossom replied.

Little Blossom was speaking the truth when he said that Little Four was powerful. He was not just trying to console her. As an intelligent ent.i.ty, Little Blossom knew how scary Little Four was. This was why he was willing to recognize Little Four as his elder brother. He willingly bowed down to Little Four.

Ling Lan didn’t know that Little Blossom was speaking the truth. But, she still felt Little Blossom’s good intention. She rubbed his head and said gently, “Thank you, Little Blossom.”

These mecha operators had given up on themselves. Normal methods wouldn’t work on them. She needed to use harsh means to get them to stand up again. Thus, she must let them struggle between life and death every day. This would release their hidden potential.

Ling Lan’s gaze turned firm. Little Blossom was not good at speaking like Little Four but she still gained strength from his words.

At that moment, the first team came back. It was Team 01 led by Yang Mingzhi. Yang Mingzhi saluted to Ling Lan and reported his group’s progress. Then, Gu Dongyang’s team came back.

They had stayed at 250 Mecha Clan for a long time so they were familiar with the mecha operators in 250 Mecha Clan. They knew who didn’t come so they specifically went to the dormitory where the missing mecha operators were at. Hence, they used lesser time than the other teams.

After the two team leaders finished their mission, they exchanged glances and felt relieved. They could run 30 km with the weights on but their team members couldn’t. As the team leader, they could not let anything happen to their team members on the first day of training. Based on how vicious their regiment commander was, he would definitely give them a harsher punishment if they couldn’t finish the task on time.

They couldn’t care much about their brother-in-arms in the other teams. All the other teams were their compet.i.tors. There was no such thing as helping each other.

Very soon, the other teams started coming back. Yang Mingzhi saw Liu Furong running back and felt happy for him. When Li Yingjie came back, he saw that all the other teams were present already. His expression changed.

He left 250 Mecha Clan for two months so he was not familiar with the people in the mecha clan. Qi Long had the help of Han Jijyun so he was able to find his team members quickly.

Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng faced the same problem as Li Yingjie but they cooperated with each other and managed to finish the task before Li Yingjie.

Li Yingjie was alone and could only run around the dormitory blindly. He took a long time to find the final three members of his team and became the last team to complete the task.
