Chapter 705: Starship!
Editor: Henyee Translations The cha operators from Bing Ge were very efficient.
They took so ti to confirm the direction and soon, they got to the location where they t the monsters accurately.
When they reached their destination, everyone turned silent.
The scene was tragic.
Many cha operators chose to self-destruct with the creatures that were crawling over them, leaving many burned cha parts scattered around the area.
Broken branches and leaves were all over.
There was smoke everywhere.
Many trees were still burning and you could hear the sound of fire crackling.
There were so cha operators who didn’t choose to self-destruct.
These cha operators limply sat in their cockpits which had been bitten through.
They were covered in blood.
The ground was stained with the red blood as well as the purplish-blue blood.
Ling Lan frowned.
From the looks of it, the cha operators from Bing Ge didn’t manage to survive until rescue ca.
Most of them died in the battle.
“Regint commander…” “Team leader…” “Little Tiger…” “Old Duan…” “Dragon…” Screams of anguish ca from the five cha operators.
They started crying uncontrollably.
However, their comrades would never be able to co back alive.
The fallen chas proved that the battle with the creatures was a hard-fought battle.
The cha operators from 250 cha Clan saw the traces of the creatures on the corpses of the cha operator.
They could determine the creatures bit through the cockpit of the chas and slowly devoured the cha operators’ whole body only leaving so bits of flesh and bone… Ling Lan frowned.
She controlled her emotions and imdiately ordered, “Qi Long, Luo Lang, have your team guard this area.
The rest will search the area and look for survivors.” Ling Lan always knew the death rate of land clearing missions were extrely high.
However, before this, all she saw were numbers.
Now, she saw how cruel land clearing missions could be personally.
The resources gained from land clearing missions were built on the lives of many cha operators.
At that mont, Ling Lan finally understood what land clearing missions really represented.
“Yes, regint commander!” Everyone started moving.
Although the 250 cha Clan were made up mostly of experienced cha operators, they still felt uncomfortable as they searched through the debris.
Usually in a war with enemy countries, although there were cases where an entire cha clan got annihilated, the cha operators that sacrificed themselves normally have a clean death.
However here, the cha operators either self-destruct, were bitten to death by the creatures or watched themselves dying from blood loss.
These were all painful ways of dying.
The efforts of 250 cha Clan paid off.
After so ti, one of the cha operators shouted, “The person in this cockpit seems to be alive.” Everyone rushed over when they heard this.
They realized that this cha operator managed to survive because two chas had fallen on top of him.
The protection of these two chas prevented his cockpit from being bitten by the creatures.
Everyone carefully took the cockpit out of the cha.
One of the cha carried the cockpit carefully.
No one dared to open the cockpit now.
The air on this planet was not suitable for humans.
Additionally, no one knew what the situation inside the cockpit was.
They could only tell the person inside was still alive from the information shown on their screen.
If they wanted to save this person, they needed to go to a safe location first.
After they found the first survivor, everyone got motivated and started hastening their pace.
Qi Long and Luo Lang’s team were nervous.
They carefully surveyed their surroundings in fear that the creatures would suddenly appear and interrupt their rescue mission.
Qi Long and Luo Lang were not afraid of fighting.
However, the main aim of this mission was to rescue the survivors.
Hence, the lives of Bing Ge’s cha operators were the most important.
If the creatures ca and interrupt them now, all their efforts would be in vain.
Luckily, the creatures didn’t appear and attack them.
They searched through all the debris and found 19 survivors.
They even had the ti to count the number of cockpits that were still intact.
Although they managed to save 19 cha operators, the five people from Bing Ge stated that there were close to 800 cha operators from their clan who participated in this mission.
Adding the five people who ca to seek help, only 24 cha operators from Bing Ge survived.
This number was only accurate if they managed to rescue all the 19 cha operators from the brink of death.
After searching through the debris a few tis and confirming that there were no more survivors, Ling Lan decisively gave an order.
“Retreat!” She glanced at a direction coldly before retracting her gaze indifferently.
“No, I want to look for the creatures and take revenge for my comrades!” One of the cha operators from Bing Ge shouted in agitation.
The death of his comrades incensed him.
He operated his cha and rushed towards the other end of the forest.
A figure flashed passed him.
The limbs of the cha were amputated.
The cha’s body fell to the ground helplessly.
Behind this cha was a balanced cha.
The cha placed its cold weapon behind its back.
It was Li Lanfeng.
Ling Lan turned around and spoke to 404 calmly, “You will be in charge of bringing the operators from Bing Ge back.” All the cha operators from 250 cha Clan looked at the cha operator from Bing Ge with pity.
How dare he disobeyed their regint commander.
If Li Lanfeng didn’t act, this cha operator might only have his cockpit left.
Although the situation didn’t seem much better now, at least he still had his engine so he was able to at least fly his way back.
“Yes, regint commander!” 404 imdiately went to help the cha body up.
He hoped the cha operator would not provoke his regint commander further.
If not, his cockpit might be blasted out of his cha body.
He rembered Ling Lan did this before when soone perford too badly during their training.
Everyone had chills when they saw what is happening.
It was too shocking.
They didn’t want their regint commander to gain a cruel reputation.
Although their regint commander was violent, they didn’t want other people to know about it.
Why?
You don’t wash your dirty linen in public.
Ling Lan made so arrangents.
She asked Liu Furong’s team and 404’s temporary team to send the cha operators from Bing Ge back to 250 cha Clan’s base.
After they left, she called Qi Long, Luo Lang, and Li Lanfeng.
“Let’s go further in and investigate this place.” Ling Lan made this decision after much thought.
Qi Long had a strong intuition.
He could sense any threats around them.
Luo Lang had many personalities so his spiritual power was stronger compared to normal cha operators.
This was why he wasn’t affected by the circular creature.
As for Li Lanfeng, he had spectre abilities.
Ling Lan felt that his spiritual power was as strong as her.
It would be safer to explore this area with three cha operators with strong spiritual power and their teams.
When Ling Lan ordered Liu Furong and 404 to bring the cha operators from Bing Ge back, these three people already knew that their boss wanted to explore the area.
Their Boss was not soone who was afraid of risk.
Ling Lan brought three teams with her as she went to the direction where she sensed sothing.
After flying for a certain distance, Ling Lan’s gaze turned cold.
She controlled her cha and shot a beam.
A flash of white light was seen.
The creature was hit and fell on the ground.
Qi Long imdiately went to the creature and inspected it carefully.
After a while, he said, “Boss, this should be the creature Bing Ge t in the video.” This creature looked like an ant but it was 100 tis bigger than an ant.
The sharp teeth in its mouth told everyone why it could bite through the chas easily.
“This creature had been present ever since we arrived.
I thought that it wanted to attack us while we were searching for survivors but surprisingly, it didn’t,” Ling Lan replied calmly.
She had blanketed the entire area with her spiritual power so she was able to detect things that other people couldn’t.
This creature was an instance of sothing she was able to detect .
Ling Lan thought that since this creature didn’t attack them at the start, it would just continue to watch over them all the way.
However, it attacked when they moved deeper into the forest.
“This creature probably attacked us because it didn’t want us to go further in.” Ling Lan was curious.
Were these creatures protecting sothing and they didn’t want them to disturb them?
This might be the reason why they didn’t attack them while they were searching for survivors.
“If the 7th division reacted quickly, help should have arrived,” Li Lanfeng reminded Ling Lan.
“True.
I almost forgot about this.
We inford the Rising Sun fleet instantly after we got the news so they must have inford the 7th division imdiately too.
Based on the timing, help from the 7th division should have arrived.” Ling Lan nodded her head.
“However, there seems to be a communication error between the cha clan and the starship.” Luo Lang couldn’t forget the tragic scene of what happened to Bing Ge.
The starship was one of the reasons why this tragedy happened.
He felt that if they went for a mission in the future, they must find a starship that would collaborate well with them.
If they board a starship like Bing Ge’s starship, Luo Lang couldn’t confirm if their cha clan would be able to persevere until help arrives.
“Starship…” Ling Lan’s heart started to beat faster.
She was soone who liked to control her own life.
Now, she realized that there was still another uncertain factor that could affect her life.
This made her unhappy.
“It would be great if we can have our own starship,” Ling Lan muttered.
This was the only way to make sure that sothing like this would not happen to them.
“cha clans do not have the right to owe a starship.” Ling Xiao couldn’t help it and cough.
He reminded Ling Lan that she shouldn’t be too greedy.
It was impossible.
The only thing he could do was to get trustworthy captains to cooperate with Ling Lan.
“I don’t believe it.
There must be a way,” Ling Lan replied angrily.
Li Lanfeng got enlightened by what Ling Lan said.
He recalled the rules the Federation created for owning a starship and tried to find a loophole in it.
It had to be said that Li Lanfeng’s mory was really good.
He actually managed to find a way around it.
He smiled slightly and said, “Actually, there is kinda a way.
cha clans are able to register a personal transportation vehicle.
A starship is a kind of transportation vehicle.
There is no rule stating the transportation vehicle can’t be a starship…” Ling Lan’s lit up.
“Lanfeng, we can exploit this loophole.” Since there was no rule stating that a starship couldn’t be registered as a transportation vehicle, their 250 cha Clan would get one.
“When I go back, I’ll talk to the chief of staff and ask him to give the funds to buy a transportation vehicle.
We will buy the starship on our own.” “Even if you get the funds, the amount will only be enough for you to get a normal transportation vehicle.
You will be unable to afford a starship,” Ling Xiao remained Ling Lan weakly.
How could you say such things in front of ?
Daughter, aren’t you being too arrogant?
“No worries.
After this land clearing mission, there should be enough money given to us so we will be able to buy a starship.
Also, I believe that there are other ways of buying a starship.” Ling Lan glanced at her father.
She didn’t have any worries at all.
She didn’t believe that her father would be fair and just, especially about a matter that concerned her safety.
Actually, as long as Ling Xiao closed one eye, Ling Lan would be able to get a starship.
Little Four had many ways of getting a starship through the black market.
The gene agents that Ling Lan had over these years were all bought from the black market with the help of Little Four.
Little Four was a master at this area.
He had even beco the diamond-level VIP mber of the black market.
It was easy for him to get his hands on a starship.
