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

Chapter 1243 I’m The Most Suitable

“60 degrees to the left,” Ling Lan suddenly shouted.

Luo Lang followed Ling Lan’s command like a robot and forced the entire base to maneuver to his will.

A beam scrapped the outer metal shell of the base. If the base moved a little slower, the beam would have pierced a hole through it.

Still, the huge force behind the beam caused the entire base to shake violently. Meng Lan activated the alarm of the base before Ling Lan ordered her to. The soldiers were alerted of the potential dangers and they started preparing themselves.

“Master, the right OVR of the base is damaged. The second door has been closed. Please send people to repair it as soon as possible. If not, the integrity of the base might be compromised.” Meng Lan reminded Ling Lan that the beam had caused damage to the shell of the base.

Ling Lan frowned. It would be dangerous to send repairmen out to repair the base now.

The damaged part of the base was in bad condition. The oxygen supply equipment there was destroyed. Thus, the repairmen had to wear thick spacesuits to do the repairing work.

Base Nebula was moving at a high speed so the damage was worsened by at least four times. The base still needed to evade more attack from the god-class mecha so the movements of the base were going to be unpredictable which increased the difficulty of repairing work.

If something happened to their protective mechanism, the repairers would be thrown into space. There were two outcomes of this scenario. First outcome, they would slowly suffocate and die after finishing their oxygen supply. Second outcome, they would be discovered by the enemy and killed.

They were in a dire situation now so Ling Lan knew that they wouldn’t be able to save the repairmen if they were thrown into space. It would take too long for them to come back after escaping from the god-class mecha. By that time, the oxygen supply of the spacesuits would be depleted.

However, if she didn’t send out repairmen, the surface damage of the base would increase due to their high speed. This would affect the structural integrity of their base. The entire base might collapse because of this.

Ling Lan made her decision. She called the logistics department and ordered them to repair the damage.

Ling Lan would be ruthless when she needed to. She wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice some repairmen if it could protect the majority of her men.

“Yes, lieutenant general.” The logistics department quickly sent a team of repairmen out after receiving the order.

Ling Lan started multitasking. She kept a close watch on the repairmen while she focused on her Profound Insight. She didn’t want to miss any feelings or reminders from her innate talent. She was afraid that a small negligence on her side would cause the destruction of the entire base Nebula.

Luo Lang and Ling Lan cooperated perfectly. Even if their teamwork wasn’t perfect, it was close enough. The giving of command and the execution of command was done almost simultaneously. It looked as if the one commanding and the one maneuvering the base was the same person.

Base Nebula managed to evade Lord Jindao’s beams but the sudden maneuvers caused one of the repairmen to get thrown into space. He didn’t manage to buckle his safety belt in time.

Ling Lan knew of this incident but her face remained expressionless. From the moment she gave the order to send the repairmen out, she became the cold blooded Lieutenant General Ling.

“We can’t continue like this,” Li Lanfeng said when he noticed that Lord Jindao was getting nearer to the bse.

“What should we do?” Ling Lan didn’t turn around. Her eyes were still glued to the screen that showed what was happening outside.

Li Lanfeng didn’t answer immediately. He looked at Ling Lan with a complicated expression. In the end, his gaze turned firm.

“Send a mecha brigade to stop him. They will be able to buy us some time.” Li Lanfeng finally said his suggestion.

His words caused Ling Lan to shift her eyes away from the screen. She glanced at Li Lanfeng who was wearing a stern expression.

She raised her eyebrows. Her gaze was intense. “Who are you planning to send?”

“I’ll lead Mecha Brigade 06 to stop him.” Li Lanfeng chose himself.

Ling Lan rejected him instantly. “No.”

“Why not?” Li Lanfeng asked sincerely.

“You won’t be able to defeat Lord Jindao. He will be able to kill all of you with a single attack. These are unnecessary sacrifices. You won’t be able to buy much time,” Ling Lan replied indifferently. Her tone was resolute.

“Rabbit, you know that if we continue like this, Lord Jindao will catch up with Base Nebula sooner or later. We will all be dead by then. In that case, why can’t we take a leap of faith? A miracle might happen.” Li Lanfeng suddenly called Ling Lan by her nickname. He hadn’t used it for a long time. His emotions seemed to be seeping out of his eyes.

He was willing to die if Ling Lan could remain alive. Maybe this was the best ending for him. Ling Lan wouldn’t know of his dirty thoughts. He wouldn’t drag Ling Lan to hell just because of his selfish feelings. Ling Lan would be able to lead a happy life with his two wives and climb to the peak of the Federation.

He just hoped that Ling Lan would remember him!

F**K!

Damn it. He was so jealous.

When Li Lanfeng thought about Ling Lan marrying Luo Chao and Han Xuya, his heart bled. He even thought of dying with Ling Lan. That way, he would be the only one by Ling Lan’s side in the end.

Ling Lan frowned at Li Lanfeng’s words. She suddenly stood up and walked to the door.

“Ling Lan, where are you going?” Li Lanfeng got affected by his negative emotions so he reacted a little slower.

Ling Lan was the most important person in his life. The moment she moved, Li Lanfeng threw all his emotions away to the back of his head.

Ling Lan stopped and turned around. “You’re right. We can’t sit and wait for death. If we take the risk, we might be able to create a miracle.” action

“...” Li Lanfeng frowned. From his understanding of Ling Lan, he knew what she was thinking. “I don’t agree. The base needs you. The people here are waiting for you to bring them home.”

“Base Nebula will only be able to escape if we stop Lord Jindao. I’m the best mecha operator here. Thus, I’m the most suitable candidate,” Ling Lan replied calmly.

She immediately gave her order. “Li Lanfeng, you’ll stay here and be in charge of the base.”

“No...” Li Lanfeng wanted to reject Ling Lan but she had already disappeared.

Li Lanfeng gritted his teeth as he stared at the empty room. He contacted the control room and told Xie Yi in a hurried tone, “Xie Yi, come to the command center immediately. You’ll take charge of the base from now on.”

“Huh?” Xie Yi was stunned when he heard this arrangement.
