Chapter 360: The cha Storehouse!
Editor: H2dH2mr Adjutant Qiao’s departure made a subtle sneer tug at the corners of the senior colonel’s lips, a trace of mockery flashing through his eyes.
The general had already declared that this was an order, yet this Adjutant Qiao was being so obtuse — it looked like once they returned, Adjutant Qiao would probably be dismissed from service.
The senior colonel walked over to the JMC’s position and watched as the JMC carried out his guide duties and swiftly launched with the general inside.
drew a trail of stars across the starry skies as it flew off in the direction of planet Newline.
In just a few seconds, they could no longer see any sign of its figure …
On the screen, all that remained was the dejected Adjutant Qiao.
“Sir, what do we do now?” As the person holding the highest rank after the general, he was originally supposed to be the true leader of the assessnt team, so the other officers naturally turned to him for direction.
“What to do?
Of course we will follow the general to planet Newline.
Also, send a report to the Federation mainfra about planet Newline being in danger,” ordered the senior colonel.
They could not let the general fight solo; they needed the mainfra to deploy a strong fleet over to assist as soon as possible.
Although the senior colonel had faith in the general, it was always good to play it a little safe.
The senior colonel’s words were greeted with enthusiastic agreent by the other officers.
Thus, the military ship swiftly sent a report off to the Federation mainfra, changing directions at the sa ti to follow after Ling Xiao’s cha, flying rapidly towards planet Newline …
******** After rapid marching for more than 10 minutes, Ling Lan and her group of about 100 New Cadet Regint mbers finally arrived at the exclusive cha storehouse of the First n’s Military Academy.
The storehouse stored various cha of different grades, to be used during the practical training of control skills of the cadets.
Usually, these cha would be sealed away in the storehouse and could not be easily accessed by the students.
“Boss, the storehouse doors have been broken open already.
Soone has entered before us.” Moving ahead of the others, Qi Long had led several others from Ling Lan’s team to scout ahead.
They were the first to make contact with the main doors of the cha storehouse and had imdiately noticed that the doors which should have been shut tight were actually unlatched and remained half-opened.
Seeing this, Qi Long quickly ran back to where Ling Lan was to report this situation to her.
Ling Lan was taken aback by the news.
Frowning, she thought, ‘Could it be that soone had decided to do the sa thing I was planning to do?’ This speculation of Ling Lan’s was based on the fact that the cha within the cha storehouse were all trainee cha for students and not proper battle cha.
The weapons equipped on these cha were only the most basic types, which had a much lower damage output than true battle cha.
Generally, soldiers would not choose to use cha from the academy storehouse to fight.
Furthermore, all the academy instructors had their own personal cha and so would not co to retrieve any cha from here either.
The only possible candidates remaining were the academy cadets.
Ling Lan could not help but beco curious over the student who had co to the sa conclusion she had.
Who were they?
If she could befriend them, Ling Lan would not mind getting to know the student whose mind had walked the sa path as hers.
As she was unsure about the situation inside the storehouse and was afraid that their entry would cause the party before them to misunderstand, Ling Lan asked the team leaders to pass on the word — when they entered the storehouse, the team mbers were to maintain silence and make as little noise as possible.
The storehouse doors were shoved wider by a few of them, and then the New Cadet Regint began to slip inside in an orderly manner.
The mont they entered the storehouse, they saw countless tall and formidable steel cha standing before them.
Everyone felt their heart rate pick up — they would soon be able to touch and use these great combat weapons.
Ling Lan glanced at the cha right at the frontmost end of the storehouse and saw that they were all trainee cha from the major three categories1.
Besides the requisite cold weapon, trainee cha were not equipped with any long-range firearm.
Ling Lan decisively turned away from these cha — trainee cha were just going to be sitting ducks; using them on the battlefield was just asking to die.
She motioned for the New Cadet Regint mbers to follow her onwards.
Because she had investigated beforehand, Ling Lan was well aware what level the mbers of the New Cadet Regint who followed her were at in terms of control skills in the virtual world.
Those trainee cha operators and lower cha operators had already been removed by her; all who remained were interdiate cha operators and above.
It wasn’t that Ling Lan looked down on those lower level students, but the combat power of a lower cha operator was just too weak in a real battle.
The death rate for low-level cha operators was as high as 80%.
Even though the 20% who managed to survive were likely to beco strong fighters in their own right, the key point was that they needed to survive first.
Ling Lan felt that unnecessary death should be avoided.
It would be best to wait for these students’ skills to advance further before letting them go out and fight.
That way, more would survive and the future would be just as lovely.
Therefore, in order to ensure their safety, Ling Lan decisively removed those lower level cha operators from her group, only keeping those mbers who were at the level of interdiate cha operator and above.
This was another reason why this New Cadet Regint group had suddenly shrunk by over 200 people.
Those cha operators who were able to beco interdiate cha operators in such a short amount of ti were all certain to be outstanding in terms of talent and heart.
As long as these people were baptised by war, they were sure to grow even faster!
The cha storehouse was pitch dark and silent.
They could not see the figures of those who had entered before them.
When the first person of their group stepped into the cha storehouse, the sensor light turned on automatically.
The initially dark cha storehouse was instantly bathed in bright light.
Although this situation startled the ntally unprepared students, they rembered Boss Lan’s instructions and did not utter any sounds of shock.
After that, seeing how steady their schoolmates were, they very quickly regained their composure.
In the vast cha storehouse, only the orderly sound of the New Cadet Regint’s footsteps could be heard.
Ling Lan led the way at a clipped pace for about 3 minutes, skipping past all the lower cha sections along the way, and soon, they had arrived at the interdiate cha section.
Finally seeing so cha which had several more types of long-range and close-range weapons, Ling Lan halted in satisfaction.
“Schoolmates, those who have already achieved interdiate cha warrior status in cha World, please choose a cha you are familiar with.” Glancing at the ti on her communicator, she instructed, “Rember, you all only have ten minutes to get used to your cha.
Once ti is up, you all will be led out by your respective team leaders.
Overall, we return to that sa idea — keep your calm when you sight an enemy.
Be mindful of teamwork; don’t rush into the fray on your own.
Also, work hard to return and see again alive!” “Yes, Regint Commander!” Ling Lan’s words reverberated in the silence of the storehouse, stoking the excitent of the near 80 students, causing them to shout loudly in response1.
With a wave of Ling Lan’s right hand, these people swiftly boarded the cha they aid for respectively.
Those cha were the ones they were endlessly familiar with inside cha World.
Of course, the cha in cha World and the actual machines were sure to have so differences, but it was overall largely the sa.
Familiarising themselves with these cha was not a very difficult thing — this was also why Ling Lan had only allocated them 10 minutes to adjust.
Of course, no one was dumb enough to go and select an unfamiliar cha.
Everyone understood that even if there were cha much better than the one they piloted, they still could not choose it now.
They would only be able to bring out the full capabilities of a cha they were familiar with, and whether they could do so would be the key determining whether they lived or died on the battlefield.
Students who could make it into the Central Scout Academy were originally already an outstanding bunch, and among them, those who could even consider going into the First n’s Military Academy were the most exceptional of the group.
They did not lack rationality or composure, so they knew what they should do.
Watching as these people began busying themselves adjusting to the real world cha, Ling Lan nodded silently.
She turned her head to look at the remaining students by her side.
There were only 35 left.
Other than her team’s own 7 mbers, there were 28 other mbers.
Twenty-one of these were the team leaders of the various teams in the New Cadet Regint.
As expected of those capable of being team leaders, they were all the most exceptional of the lot.
Of the 27 teams within the New Cadet Regint, only 6 team leaders were not yet at this level.
anwhile, of the remaining 7 advanced cha operators, 4 were mbers of Wu Jiong’s team, which included Ye Xu, while the other 3 were from Li Yingjie’s team.
Without question, Wu Jiong’s and Li Yingjie’s team mbers were obviously stronger than those of the other teams.
Ling Lan ntally acknowledged the strength of Wu Jiong’s and Li Yingjie’s teams, but unbeknownst to her, in the eyes of the mbers of those two teams, Ling Lan’s team was strong beyond understanding.
When they saw the seven people following closely behind Ling Lan as they walked over together to the advanced cha section, their expressions could not help but shift, a trace of shock and awe appearing in their eyes.
They were naturally astounded by the fact that all of the mbers of Ling Lan’s team had actually managed to achieve advanced cha warrior status.
(At present, they still did not know about the three new mbers of Ling Lan’s team, and so thought that Ling Lan’s team still only consisted of the original six1.) At the sa ti, they were utterly convinced — sure enough, Boss Ling Lan was Boss Ling Lan.
Even the mbers under him were strong beyond reason.
It made sense if you think about it.
Boss Ling Lan was already so strong — if a team mber was too weak, what right did he have to follow Ling Lan?
Just like that, Ling Lan led the 35 students into the advanced cha section.
Two more minutes passed and Ling Lan quickly urged the remaining mbers to board their selected cha.
The ti this group had to adjust to the real cha was only 8 minutes.
As they wanted to et up again with the mbers at the interdiate cha section, they could only take 2 minutes out of their allocated adjustnt ti.
That said, those who had advanced to advanced cha operator at this age were all the extrely talented prodigies of cha control.
Eight minutes for them to familiarise themselves with real cha was definitely no problem at all.
After settling all of this, Ling Lan ordered Little Four to contact Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie to tell them which section to co to.
He sent the exact coordinates of their location in the storehouse to the two, preventing them from wasting ti.
After all, they too needed so ti to adjust to the cha — each extra second of adjustnt ti ant an increase in the chances of survival.
Fortunately, the direction of the anti-air shelter was roughly the sa as the cha storehouse, just at a slightly different angle.
As Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie had left ahead of this party, they were not slowed down by much.
Based off their reply, they had just arrived at the storehouse.
At their speed, they should catch up within three minutes.
Ling Lan calculated for a mont — with Wu Jiong’s and Li Yingjie’s skills, the remaining 5 minutes’ ti was sufficient for them to adjust to real advanced cha.
At this thought, she relaxed and gave her team a heads up.
She was planning to go to a secret room Little Four had discovered.
That room was deeper into the storehouse, in the innermost area of the advanced cha section.
From the outside, it looked like they were already at the end of the section, but in truth, there was a whole new world behind that wall.
This should be referring to humanoid, bestial, and avian.T/C: What happened to not making noise?
=.=…
the numbers the author is giving don’t add up.
Seven people behind her, yet original six?
