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

Chapter 1265 What Should I Do?

The direction where Ling Lan and her comrades were heading wasn’t the direction that Base Nebula took. It wasn’t where King Muqi and Falling Snow were too. It was where the 23rd division was.

The 23rd division was currently fighting with two divisions of Caesar.

The number of casualties of the 23rd division suffered in this unfortunate encounter was one of their highest recorded rates of casualty ever since they were formed. However, the Zaoyi Army and the Hejia Army were in an even worse state. Even when they had the advantage of numbers, they were unable to finish off a relatively new division that was created for less than ten years. This was unexpected. Their number of casualties was more than twice that of the 23rd division.

Ling Xiao pulled many outstanding officers from the other divisions into his division the moment he returned. He also accepted some veteran soldiers who got weaker due to old age. He recruited them because they had a wide range of experience on the battlefield. He asked these veteran soldiers to guide the young and inexperienced soldiers. He was willing to spend time to slowly groom his soldiers. Ling Xiao focused on quality, not quantity. That was why this new division had such a strong fighting ability and teamwork.

Another reason why the 23rd division had lesser casualties than average was that their elites were placed at the frontline. They blocked the most powerful ace mecha clans, lightening the load for the newbie mecha operators behind them.

“Pfft-” Ling Lan coughed out blood again. Her entire face was pale. She looked as if she would faint at any moment now.

“Boss!” Little Four shouted agitatedly. They needed to run away quickly, so Little Four increased the speed of the mecha to its maximum. Although he tried to lower the backlash to its minimum, Ling Lan was still not able to handle it. She was too severely injured, even Li Shiyu’s Nuwa agent couldn’t help her to resist the backlash.

She tried her best to bear with the pain, but she just couldn’t withstand it anymore. Just travelling this short distance was already worsening her condition.

“Don’t mind me. Continue.” They were still too close to her father. As long as one god-class operator broke away from her father’s suppression, he would be able to catch up with them almost instantly. They were not safe yet.

Ling Lan believed that once she reached a safe location, her father would be able to escape unscathed, even if his opponent was the most powerful god-class operator in the universe.

She had complete trust in her father.

“But...” Little Four couldn’t bear to see Boss getting injured by the backlash again. She was already on the brink of death.

“Go.” Ling Lan suddenly spoke to Little Four sternly before closing her eyes. She seemed to have fainted.

Little Four gritted his teeth. He wiped his tears off his face and continued controlling the mecha. The three people following Ling Lan didn’t know what had happened to her. They just thought that she was silent because she was worried about her father.

“If only there is a starship as powerful as Base Nebula here, we will be able to leave without harming Boss.” Little Four suddenly thought of an idea. “Right! I can control a starship that can travel as fast as Base Nebula. I don’t care which country the starship belonged to. I just need to search for one.”

Hence, Little Four started searching for signals around him as he continued flying forward. He was looking for his target.

Little Four soon found a satellite that belonged to Twilight. He used the satellite to expand his radar.

As long as there was a signal, Little Four was invincible. In less than a minute, he came to the area where the 23rd division was fighting with Twilight. He saw numerous starships in the air. Little Four was elated. His eyes shone brightly.

“Which one has the highest speed? R8 series of Twilight. No, not fast enough. 24 series, well, passable. Oh my god, it’s a Destruction Devil.” Little Four exclaimed happily when he saw a Destruction Devil amidst all the other starships.

A Destruction Devil could travel as fast as Base Nebula. This was because the Destruction Devil’s engines were created using the engine of Base Nebula as a reference. Their relationship was like a mother and son.

However, all the starships were in battle mode now. Little Four remembered what Ling Lan said. They were citizens of the Federation. They mustn’t do anything that could harm the Federation. If he forcefully took control of the Destruction Devil, it would be a fatal blow to the 23rd division.

“What should I do? What should I do?” To Little Four, the safety of his Boss was the most important. However, if Boss woke up and knew that the 23rd division was annihilated because of his inconsiderate actions, she would be furious. She might even kick him out. Plus, the 23rd division was his own father’s division. He didn’t want his father to suffer any losses. Little Four was in a dilemma.

“Huh? Boss, is that you?” A young voice suddenly appeared.

“Who is that?” Little Four got a shock because of the voice. He jumped.

“It’s really you. It’s me, Little Seven!” Little Seven jumped up excitedly. He was a fat little child that looked around three years old.

“Little Seven? Oh, Little Seven!” Little Four finally remembered who Little Seven was. He was the mainframe of the starship that he took control over when Boss went to report to the military academy. He hadn’t seen the mainframe for eight years. Little Four was surprised that the mainframe had a conscience now. It had evolved, causing him to have the intelligence of a three-year-old child. Little Four was shocked by his advancement. Normally, intelligent entities evolved really slowly. If he didn’t meet Boss, he might not be able to evolve for a hundred years. What was Little Seven made up of?

Little Four grabbed Little Seven and inspected him carefully. Nothing weird was found.

“Why are you here?” Little Four asked.

“I joined the 23rd division eight years ago along with an old man,” Little Seven replied honestly. He always referred to Tian Fang as an old man because he felt that this middle-aged man was shameless and childish. He didn’t have the aura of a major general at all.

“Oh right. Boss, since you’re here, let’s control the starships and make them crash into each other.” Although he didn’t like the old man, he felt his heart hurting when he saw them getting beaten up by Twilight so badly.

“That’s right. Once I destroy Twilight’s starships, I can use the Destruction Devil.” Little Seven gave Little Four a solution to his problem.

Thus, the two of them started their cooperation. Little Seven was still young so he wasn’t powerful enough but he had Little Four beside him.

Soon, Little Four took control of all the starships from Twilight. Since the distance between them was too far, he had to make replicas of himself. He had reached the maximum number of replicas he could make.

Although Little Four was invincible in the virtual world, he was still restricted by his main body. The further away from the main body, the weaker the replica was.

But, it was enough. These replicas could be formed again and again. If Little Four could do it once, he could do it again.
