It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

"That is…" The people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan looked at the familiar creature in surprise. That frightening creature was the one that gave them so many troubles during the land clearing mission. They remembered that their regiment commander had personally killed it. 'What is happening? Did our regiment commander show mercy on it and brought it back to the Federation? Then, he brought it along with him to Planet Haijiao?'

"What's that? It's so scary?"

"However, the giant creature seems to be helping us. That's good."

"I wonder who called it."

"Is there such a creature on Planet Haijiao?"

The other soldiers from the Federation didn't know what was happening so they were very puzzled. The people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan just kept their mouths shut, as they were afraid that they would say the wrong things in a moment of excitement. They mustn't tell this secret to anyone, because their regiment commander had sneaked this creature out illegally. They didn't want to bring their regiment commander to the military court.

By right, everything found during the land clearing mission must be handed to the military. Then, the military would then give a portion of it back to the mecha clan based on the agreement. The people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan believed that once they gave this creature to the military, the military wouldn't pass it back to them.

Only their regiment commander would dare to do something like this, but he did the right thing, sneaking this fellow back to the Federation. Now, this fellow came to help them before their reinforcements could come.

Li Lanfeng looked at the circular creature and relaxed a little. He had brought Little White out for a walk many times so he saw Little White changing back to its true form to eat. He knew that the circular creature was Little White.

From the looks of it, Little White was a loyal creature. It didn't hide at such a crucial moment and came out to help Ling Lan fearlessly. It was better than those reinforcements that were still not here. At first, Li Lanfeng had his qualms against Little White. After all, it was a powerful creature with not much intelligence and had a brutal nature. Who knew if it would eat its master one day?

"How long has our regiment commander been out?" Li Lanfeng asked Han Jijyun softly. He was afraid that he counted the time wrongly so he wanted someone to confirm it for him.

"22 minutes." Han Jijyun was focused on this point too. The people in Lingtian Battle Team knew that if a person jumped levels in mecha piloting, he wouldn't be able to last for too long. Han Jijyun looked at the screen worriedly. The huge mecha with colorful lights all around it was displayed on the screen.

Li Lanfeng stood up suddenly and said in a low voice, "I'll pass the base to you."

Han Jijyun's heart stopped for a moment. "What are you planning to do?"

"I can't wait for the reinforcements that are nowhere in sight. Our regiment commander needs our help now," Li Lanfeng replied calmly.

"But our Boss doesn't want any of us to go out." Han Jijyun appeared hesitant. He always listened to Ling Lan so he didn't know what to do when Li Lanfeng wanted to disobey Ling Lan's order.

"Han Jijyun, who's the acting commanding officer of Base 013?" Li Lanfeng raised one of his eyebrows and asked.

"You." Han Jijyun replied firmly. When their Boss left, he passed the command of Base 013 to Li Lanfeng. He was only supporting Li Lanfeng.

"Then, I've got the right to release a new order." Li Lanfeng pressed the button in front of him and his voice echoed through the entire base. "I, Li Lanfeng, acting commanding officer of the Base 013, will give a new order. Anyone who is willing to go out now can do so."

After he finished speaking, Li Lanfeng left the command center. Han Jijyun wanted to fight too but Base 013 needed someone in command.

Han Jijyun clenched his fist tightly and closed his eyes with a painful heart. When he opened them again, his gaze had turned calm.

"Everyone needs to make a choice. Li Lanfeng chose to fight alongside Boss. As for me, I choose to guard Boss's back and make sure that nothing happens to the base. Nothing must happen to the base!" The confusion he had during this period of time disappeared. He regained his confidence and became the calm and confident Han Jijyun again, as he had found his answer.

Li Lanfeng's order sounded throughout the base. The mecha operators who stayed in the mecha hold had their fighting spirit ignited by Ling Lan's dominating fight. They shouted out loud. The mecha operators from 250 Ace Mecha Clan even cried in excitement.

As Ling Lan's direct subordinates, the mecha operators of 250 Ace Mecha Clan didn't want to see their regiment commander fighting their enemies alone. They wanted to fight with him side by side. Now, after waiting for more than 20 minutes, they finally got their wish. This kind of feeling was not something the mecha operators from other mecha clans could comprehend.

The mecha operators from other mecha clans stood up too when they heard this command and rushed to the mecha hold. Even their commanding officer was fearlessly fighting for any chances of survival. What right do they have to be afraid and hide in the base?

The soldiers of the Federation were the bravest and purest soldiers in the world. They would never shrink in the face of danger. The people that force them to retreat were normally those high-ranking officers who lost their spirit to fight. Actually, those people couldn't be considered soldiers anymore. They were just politicians wearing the military uniform.

Han Xuya, who was staring at her Boss in the JMC office, turned serious immediately when she heard this command. She wiped the tears off her face and shouted, "Sisters, our battle is starting!"

"Yes, leader!" All the JMCs stood at attention with their eyes shining brightly. They quickly got into position and guided the mecha operators out of the ejection ports as quickly as possible. This was their most efficient and perfect session ever, as not a single second was wasted on messing around.

Li Shiyu heard this command and looked at the time on his communicator. He turned and said to Luo Chao whose eyes were glued to the screen. "Luo Chao, we should start preparing."

Luo Chao retracted her gaze unwillingly. When she looked at Li Shiyu, her gaze was calm and cold. She nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

Luo Chao lowered her head and started preparing all the medical equipment and emergency agents. She never looked at the screen again.

After Li Lanfeng left the command center, he arrived at the mecha hold in a blink of an eye. To help Ling Lan as fast as possible, he used his domain.

Li Lanfeng knew that Ling Lan only called for Little White because she couldn't hold on any longer. Little White's appearance was enough to prove that Ling Lan had reached his limit.

Li Lanfeng had the same personality as Ling Lan. They never liked to pass their fate to things that were not certain, such as the reinforcements. Ling Lan believed in relying on herself. Li Lanfeng was not confident enough but he wanted to defy his destiny so he must take control of his own fate.

Hence, Li Lanfeng decided to help Ling Lan personally. This was the equivalent of helping themselves. As for the damn reinforcements, let them come whenever they want.

The moment Li Lanfeng appeared in the mecha hold, he saw his mecha operators in position. His deputy saw him and smiled. "Leader, I know that you'll come so I came here to wait for you."

Li Lanfeng boarded his mecha and started it instantly. He spoke on the team channel, "Team 06, let's go!"

Boom! A beam flew past all the tentacles and hit Little White's body. A hole was formed and black liquid started flowing out of it.

Little White screeched in pain. Its huge size caused it to be less agile than its small form. Hence, it was an easy target for the beams. It already had many injuries but this attack injured him seriously.

"Little White!" Ling Lan quickly moved her mecha in front of Little White. Little White's appearance reduced some pressure for her but she felt her heart hurt when it got injured.

"Little White, return to the base." She couldn't let Little White die here so Ling Lan decisively gave an order to Little White.

"Rawr…" Little White is not going back. Little White will stay with master. Little White wants to protect master.

Master brought me to eat good food and experience many interesting things. Master won't ground me from eating unnecessarily. I must protect this good master. Little White was pure. It would repay anyone who treats it well.

The pain ignited Little White's brutality. It started attacking the mechas furiously. Many mechas got hit on its vital spot and exploded.

Little White could fight with normal ace operators but it couldn't fight off the numerous imperial operators of the God-Killers. Fortunately, Ling Lan was beside it so she helped Little White to block all the imperial operators that tried to stop it.

"Regiment commander, we're here!"

"Commanding officer, we're here!"

"Commanding officer Ling, let us fight with you!"

Suddenly, Ling Lan heard many people talking to her using the Huaxia language. Numerous mechas from the Federation started appearing on her screen. There were people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan, the Evil Wind Mecha Team, the scouts team, Song Yiqing's 224 Mecha Clan, and some other mecha clans that she was familiar with but forgotten the names of.

Ling Lan suddenly felt energized. She bore with the pain and took the last bottle of agent. Then, she shouted, "Let's fight together!"

"Attack!"

As her voice sounded, the mechas of Base 013 rushed towards the Hailiyan army. Ling Lan started firing her beams even more furiously. For a moment, the Hailiyan army had to retreat under their fearless attack.

Above Base 013, the starship finally reached its designated position.

Multiple mechas shot out of the ejection ports and flew towards the atmosphere of Planet Haijiao.

"Beep beep beep. Entering the atmosphere of Planet Haijiao soon. Collecting data. Please be prepared…"

All the mainframes of the mecha operators gave a warning. The heat caused by the speed of the free fall and the air current was harmful to the mecha operators. It might even hurt the mecha operators internally. Hence, it was forbidden for mechas to enter a planet directly from the atmosphere. However, to save more time and to prevent the Hailiyan fleets from finding them, the mecha operators had the take the risk.
