Yan Three was puzzled as he walked towards the logistics department of the base with a large group of people. The group consisted of people from Evil Wind, but most of the group were from 250 Ace Mecha Clan.

It was a coincidence that they were with the people from 250. It all started when they were released early from the training ground and they got spotted by a team leader in charge of handling the goods and materials of the mecha clan. The team leader didn’t ask them anything when he saw them, and he just brought them with him. His reason for dragging them along was, his department lacked manpower so he asked them for their help.

Along the way, Yan Three had clarified the situation. They were here to take the supplies allocated to 250 Mecha Clan. Normally, these resources would be sent directly to the various camps, but Ling Lan must have angered the commanding officer of the base when she laid her hands on Evil Wind. Thus, the commanding officer purposely didn’t send them any supplies, forcing them to come and take it themselves. He must be trying to make things difficult for them purposely.

Yan Three secretly felt grateful towards Du Mingyi for protecting them like that. He was glad to see 250 Ace Mecha Clan experiencing some inconveniences. However, Du Mingyi lawfully still had to give the supplies to 250 Ace Mecha Clan but it was alright for him to inconvenience them a little by asking them to get the supplies themselves.

Yan Three still had resentment towards 250 Ace Mecha Clan but after a week of training together, his resentment got lesser and lesser. On the other hand, his fear of it got greater. He remembered the time when they first met and he gave 250 Ace Mecha Clan an opening gambit, he felt that he was looking for death in hindsight. Even the logisticians that trained with them were already as powerful as them. Moreover, the team leaders were even better. Anyone of them was stronger than him.

Oh right, the team leader that he was following to the logistics department of the base was stronger than him too. 250 Ace Mecha Clan was filled with powerful people.

Yan Three admitted that he was quite motivated to work harder in this kind of environment. He had always thought that his capabilities were enough for him to get into a t.i.tled ace mecha clan easily. However, in this normal ace mecha clan, his capabilities were only considered in the middle range among the logisticians.

‘How powerful are the mecha operators of 250 Ace Mecha Clan? How powerful are they to have such amazing logisticians?’ Yan Three couldn’t help but remember the two team leaders who came out to teach Song Yiqing a lesson. They were extremely young but very formidable for their age, one of them was even the son of Lieutenant General Qi.

‘Is this because of their background or is it undisputable power?’ Yan Three wasn’t certain of the answer. What he could be certain about was that this 250 Ace Mecha Clan was not an ordinary ace mecha clan. It definitely wasn’t.

Yan Three noticed that the team leaders here, whether it was the team leader of a logistics team or a mecha team, were all majors and above in rank. Yan Three had difficulty recognizing people but he was good at remembering military uniforms. Once he saw a uniform, he could memorize all the details on that uniform.

Hence, Yan Three memorized military uniforms first. Then, only after many interactions with the person, would he combine the face of the person with the uniform. That was how he remembered someone. Yan Three had never told anyone this problem. In actuality, this problem didn’t really cause him any inconvenience either.

“250YF11001.” The team leader, who they were following to the logistics department of the base, suddenly called Yan Three’s number.

“Yes, leader!” Yan Three immediately pushed away his wandering thoughts and came forward.

“Bring some men with you to the warehouse.” The team leader gave him an innocent smile. Yan Three suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with that smile.

Yan Three was confused by that smile, so he took some time before he replied to the team leader. However, before he could say anything, the head of the logistics department of the base shouted angrily, “How dare you!”

“Didn’t you say that there is nothing in the warehouse?” The team leader raised one of his eyebrows and smiled at the head.

The head of the logistics department was speechless. The team leader smiled. “If there really isn’t any supplies, we will not force Base 013 to give us any. However, if you purposely withheld our supplies, we will report to the 23rd division and ask the headquarters to send someone down to see whether the commanding officer is embezzling any military supplies.”

The team leader’s att.i.tude was sincere but his words were threatening. Cold sweat started appearing on the forehead of the head of the logistics department, because he knew the warehouse was full. There was no lack of supplies in the base. However, his superior, the commanding officer of the base, didn’t want to give 250 Ace Mecha Clan any of it.

If 250 Ace Mecha Clan were to realize that it was a lie and reported it to the military headquarters, he would be dead. The head of the logistics department understood that once something like that happened, he could only be the scapegoat.

“So, are there supplies in there?” The team leader asked again.

If the head of the logistics department didn’t give them, he would offend 250 Ace Mecha Clan, and they would request an inspector from the headquarters of the 23rd Division to come and investigate this case. In the end, he would probably become the scapegoat for his commanding officer. If he gave it to them, he would provoke the highest ranked officer in this base, dangering his position as the head of the logistics department.

‘No! I couldn’t let that happen. I took so much effort to climb to this position. As long as I keep the people of 250 Ace Mecha Clan away from the warehouse, no one will realize my lie.’

The head of the logistics department firmly made a decision. He shouted, “No!”

The team leader’s mouth gaped open in surprise. “Enter the warehouse!”

“Stop them!” The head of the logistics department shouted instantly. A team of soldiers on duty rushed in fully armed. They raised their beam guns and aimed it at Yan Three and everyone else on the scene.

Yan Three looked at the head of the logistics department coldly. He thought that the other party would just make things difficult for them, but instead, the head of the logistics department refused to give them any supplies at all. This was the battlefield. If they were unable to replenish their weapons, equipment, and food supplies, their mecha operators would definitely be in much more risk due to the lack of resources they had. This was not simply venting one’s anger anymore. They were trying to harm the lives of innocent soldiers! Even if the commanding officer did it for the sake of Evil Wind, they would not feel grat.i.tude towards them.

They should know what could be done, and what could not be done. Yan Three hated Ling Lan because he forcefully destroyed Evil Wind and integrated them into his team. However, once he enters the battlefield, he would put down his personal hatred and fight with Ling Lan against their common enemy. He was willing to show them his back. This was how a qualified soldier from the Federation should act. Therefore, the head of the logistics department was unworthy to be a soldier. He was an embarra.s.sment to the term ‘soldiers’.

“Team leader Qi, no one is allowed to enter the warehouse of a military base without permission. This is a military rule. If someone breaks this rule, he will be charged with mutiny without trial. Team leader Qi, I cannot let you make such a huge mistake. Sorry to offend you,” The head of the logistics department scoffed. If the person that came was not the young master of the 13th division, he wouldn’t have been so polite with his words.
