Xu Shiming’s scouts team had already gone out of the base. The other mecha operators left at the mecha hold had all boarded their own respective mechas and were waiting for the JMCs to contact them.
Cui Yunxuan watched as his mecha operators boarded their own mechas. Then, he walked towards his ace mecha. At this moment, Qi Long and Xie Yi, who were supervising them, exchanged glances with each other. Qi Long suddenly moved his body and disappeared, and in the next second, he appeared in front of Cui Yunxuan.
Cui Yunxuan recognized Qi Long as he was the famous heir of the 13th division, the team leader of team 03 from 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Cui Yunxuan smiled and asked, “What is the matter, Leader Qi?”
“Major Cui, could your mecha clan wait for a moment and let the other mecha clans move out first?” Qi Long put on his humble expression. He looked as though he was here to ‘discuss’ a matter with Cui Yunxuan.
Cui Yunxuan felt his heart pounding furiously when he heard that, but he still replied calmly, “Of course, our mecha clan will listen to your orders.”
“Thank you.” Qi Long suddenly grabbed Cui Yunxuan’s right arm. He smiled and said, “My friend over there wants to know you better. Please come with me.”
Cui Yunxuan tried to struggle free but Qi Long’s grip was like a metal clamp. He was unable to break free so he gave up and showed a forced smile. “Leader Qi, I would like to know the young talents from 250 Ace Mecha Clan too. Can you...” He looked at his right arm.
Qi Long laughed loudly when he saw this unintentional mistake. “I’m sorry. I was just too excited.” Qi Long let go of his arm and invited him over.
Cui Yunxuan started weighing his options in his mind. In the end, he chose to follow Qi Long obediently.
They came to find Xie Yi. Xie Yi smiled and nodded at them when he saw them coming over, but he didn’t say anything. Moreover, Qi Long also just turned and looked at the other mechas that were entering the ejection ports, not initiating any conversation at all.
Cui Yunxuan stood between them awkwardly. Beads of sweat started forming on his forehead. ‘Did they realize what I was doing in secret?’
He placed his hands behind his back as he wanted to touch his communicator surreptitiously. Suddenly, Xie Yi called him, “Major Cui!”
Cui Yunxuan’s hands froze.
“Don’t make things difficult for yourself. If not, we can’t let you go even if we want to.” Xie Yi turned and smiled at Cui Yunxuan.
It was a sincere smile. That was what Xie Yi thought. However, to Cui Yunxuan, the smile was eerie and frightening. Cui Yunxuan’s expression changed for the worse. He understood that his sneaky actions had been discovered by the other party.
While Du Mingyi appeared to be unhappy with Cui Yunxuan, behind everyone’s back, they were on the same side. Cui Yunxuan was one of Du Mingyi’s spies. He would tell Du Mingyi all the people or mecha clans that had an opinion against him so that Du Mingyi could get rid of them.
Speaking about this, it has to be said that Du Mingyi truly had some capabilities as a tyrant. He was lenient on the leader of the scouts team, Xu Shiming, but it made things difficult for Cui Yunxuan’s mecha clan, making it seemed like Cui Yunxuan was one of his greatest opponents. No one would have imagined that one of his biggest enemies was his men. Hence, everyone spoke some of their real thoughts about Du Mingyi in front of Cui Yunxuan.
“What are you saying? I don’t understand.” Cui Yunxuan lowered his hands and stopped his sneaky actions. He realized that the ten teams from 250 Ace Mecha Clan were all strategically stationed around his mecha clan. If his mecha clan did anything suspicious, they would definitely suppress them at the speed of light. They definitely had been guarding against him from the start.
Cui Yunxuan agreed to work with Du Mingyi because he realized that no one was able to subdue him, even Song Yiqing couldn’t do it. But from the looks of it, the command structure of Base 013 was going to change soon, all because Ling Lan was more vicious and brutal than Song Yiqing. She decided to take down Du Mingyi without worrying about the consequences she would cause. He still remembered the emergency message he had received from Du Mingyi just now. Since Du Mingyi couldn’t even protect himself now, he shouldn’t continue working with him anymore.
Cui Yunxuan was a decisive person. To be safe in Base 013, he had betrayed his friend’s trust in him and worked with Du Mingyi, taking advantage of both sides. Now, to protect his mecha clan, he stopped working with either side and just stood on the fence about the power upheaval that is going to happen in the future. Undoubtedly, Cui Yunxuan was a selfish person. This kind of person would always choose the path that benefited him the most.
Cui Yunxuan’s indifferent expression made Xie Yi and Qi Long frown.
This type of person was the most difficult to handle. He never refuted or offended them so they didn’t know what they should do with him, so it was probably better for them to pass him to Li Lanfeng. The two of them thought of the same person simultaneously. They turned and looked at ‘Li Lanfeng’ who was talking to Luo Chao and they secretly sighed in pity.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t here. The ‘Li Lanfeng’ in the mecha hold was actually Li Shiyu in disguise, and with his non-scheming nature, he was not Cui Yunxuan’s match.
‘Unless he uses his medicines...’ Qi Long and Xie Yi suddenly trembled in fear at the thought of that. They couldn’t comprehend how a righteous and forthright person like Li Shiyu was able to invent such frightening medicines. ‘Is it because deep down inside, he is an evil person?’
Because of Cui Yunxuan’s obedience, the other mecha clans move out of the mecha hold in an orderly manner and stood their grounds at the front of the base. They were prepared to fight anytime.
When everyone had moved out, Qi Long looked at Cui Yunxuan, “Major Cui, it seems that our mecha clans will have to cooperate for the upcoming fight.”
Cui Yunxuan was not surprised by Qi Long’s words. If the other party allowed him to act on his own, he would have looked down on them.
Cui Yunxuan had already decided that he wouldn’t participate in the battle between Ling Lan and Du Mingyi. Hence, he wouldn’t reject Qi Long’s arrangement. After all, they were the soldiers of the Federation. No matter how much internal strife they had, they wouldn’t harm the lives of billions of people in the Federation.
“Am I boarding my mecha too?” Luo Chao looked at the majestic ace mecha and asked excitedly.
“This mecha is not for you.” Li Shiyu patted Luo Chao’s head and destroyed her dream.
“Why not? I’m Luo Lang. Why can’t I control Luo Lang’s mecha?” Luo Chao replied unhappily. She really wanted to board her brother’s mecha and know what it feels like to operate an ace mecha.
“Is your body able to withstand the backlash from the leap in level? Do you want to die?” Li Shiyu asked with a stern face.
Luo Chao looked at Li Shiyu hopefully. As his assistant, she knew what Li Shiyu’s newest experiments were about.
“Don’t even think about it. No live testing had been done on it so it only works by theory. No one knows whether it really works or are there be any dangerous side effects to it. I’ll not give it to you.” Li Shiyu rejected her blatantly.
“Shi... Brother.” Luckily, she had noticed her mistake in time and called out to Li Shiyu sweetly.
“Even if you call me ancestor, it’s useless.” Li Shiyu pulled Luo Chao to their special-class mechas and patted on one of them as he said, “This beautiful piece of art is yours to use. Feel free to use it anytime.”
