Chapter 123: Stay Until the End
The man sitting on the bench reading a book with a gentle smile stood up and said.
"You must be Classmate Luo."
"Come in quickly."
"You are quite impressive."
"We also watched the trial."
"It’s hard to believe that you are just a first-grade student unless you see it with your own eyes."
He lifted his glasses and said, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself."
"My name is Kang Shun."
"This is Dugu Changxin."
Kang Shun pointed to the man with long silver hair.
He turned to look at Liu Yan in a combat suit and said, "The lady behind is Liu Yan, Sister Yan is the most experienced in our team."
"Sister Yan, next time change your clothes in the changing room."
Liu Yan was zipping up her combat suit, which accentuated her chest.
She glanced at Kang Shun and said, "What are you afraid of? Afraid I’ll eat you up, huh."
"Don’t worry, you skinny little guys."
"She doesn’t like me."
"I don’t enjoy doing this work at all, I don’t care."
Kang Shun kept coughing as he awkwardly told Luo Yan, "Sister Yan always speaks directly."
"You’ll get used to it slowly."
The man with silver hair and the strange name Dugu snorted, "It’s best not to get used to it."
"Those who use the back door all end up in our Team Four."
"Does the squad leader think of us as a garbage dump?"
He was very upset and had a gloomy expression.
He walked past Luo Yan in a firm manner.
And deliberately bumped into him.
Luo Yan squinted his eyes.
Standing there.
Not moving a muscle.
Bang!
The two collided.
Dugu Changxin didn’t step back, but he didn’t knock Luo Yan down either.
"Move aside, don’t stand like a log in the doorway."
Luo Yan looked up.
He glanced at Dugu Changxin’s neck.
Dugu Changxin’s pupils shrank, "What are you doing, you want to start a fight?"
Luo Yan looked directly at him and said simply, "Next time, for sure."
He meant.
If Dugu Changxin provokes him next time.
Then he will definitely fight.
What Luo Yan didn’t say was.
If a fight really breaks out.
There might be bloodshed.
Someone will die.
He knew he was a newcomer.
But who made the rules?
Newcomers always get bullied by veterans.
If you’re not happy, fight back.
There’s nothing much to say about this.
Inside the rest area.
Liu Yan chuckled and stuck out her tongue to lick her lips. "This kid, he’s quite interesting."
"Just too young."
"I don’t eat tender grass."
Kang Shun quickly stepped forward and said, "From now on, we are a team."
"Let’s talk it out."
"Let’s not ruin our friendship."
Dugu Changxin glared at Kang Shun and said, "Hypocrite."
Then he passed by the gate sideways.
He left with long strides.
Kang Shun couldn’t help but laugh and said, "That’s just how he is."
"Actually, I understand him too."
"He is where he is today because of his own hard work, taking one step at a time."
"I handle personnel matters for the family, and you were appointed by Captain Di."
"It’s normal to feel uncomfortable in Changxin’s heart."
"Don’t take it to heart, Classmate Luo."
"The captain should be back soon."
Suddenly, he stood up straight and exclaimed, "Captain!"
Luo Yan turned around.
Only to see a man standing behind him, without knowing when he appeared.
Around thirty years old.
He looks handsome.
But his face is pale, with dark circles around his eyes, and he is thin.
He seems to be not very healthy.
"Are you the new recruit assigned to our team?"
"Yes, that’s right."
"On your first day reporting, you dared to confront Longxin, who’s like a powder keg."
"I have high hopes for you."
Yan Wenbo patted Luo Yan’s arm, "Have you put on your combat suit?"
"Not yet, I will change into it, and then we can set off."
"Explain the specific tasks on the way."
Luo Yan was about to respond.
Yan Wenbo’s expression changed and he said, "You guys go to the attack site and wait."
"I’m going to the restroom."
"I’ll be there shortly."
After speaking, he hurriedly left.
Inside the rest area.
Liu Yan with a big chest and long legs came out and said, "I feel sorry for that guy’s wife."
"Probably never experienced the taste of satisfaction."
She shook her head as she walked away.
Luo Yan had a blank expression on his face.
Kang Shun chuckled and said, "Don’t listen to Sister Yan’s nonsense."
"Actually, Captain has a prostate problem, not a kidney deficiency or any other illness."
Luo Yan glanced at him.
He thought, "Your explanation is really unnecessary."
On the way to the attack site.
Kang Shun roughly explained the structure of the Exploration Legion.
The Legion is divided into several major departments: Mechanical Armor Department, Strategic Department, Logistics Department, and Maintenance Department.
Luo Yan and his team are frontline Mecha Masters who belong to the Mechanical Armor Department.
The Mechanical Armor Department has three classes.
Each class has five to six squads.
There are around 70 serving Mecha Masters.
Currently, there are only 58 mecha available for combat.
Of course.
This does not include Luo Yan and the other reserves.
Reserve pilots have many unknown factors.
They are therefore not included in the statistics.
"Today should be a regular task."
"I checked the task list, it’s just a level 6 task."
Kang Shun patiently explained, "The task level is the same as the reward level."
"Level 6 is the lowest level, usually involving tasks like escorting supplies, protecting maintenance crews, or surface inspections, which are low-risk jobs."
"Of course, encountering a giant beast during this process will increase the task difficulty assessment according to the giant beast’s level."
"Payment will be calculated based on performance afterwards."
Luo Yan listened, made a mental note, and asked, "What is the highest level of task?"
"Is it level 1?"
Kang Shun chuckled, "No."
"Above level 1 is the Top level, and above the Top level is the Doomsday level."
"Usually, a mission related to the safety of an underground city is considered a level 1 mission."
"The Top level is related to several underground cities."
"As for the Doomsday level, you should be able to guess."
Luo Yan looked very serious.
He certainly could guess.
The ‘Doomsday level’ means a mission of no return, where death is certain.
Furthermore.
It concerns the survival of humanity.
Kang Shun chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, our underground city has not issued any Level 1 missions yet."
"Even the threat of the high-level giant beast from last time was only a Level 3 mission."
"You don’t need to worry too much."
Speaking of which…
They arrived at the launching point.
Inside the launching point.
Dugu Changxin closed his eyes for a nap.
Liu Yan played with a dagger.
Captain Yan Wenbo arrived.
Exploration Legion, Class Three, Team Four.
Move out!
Because it’s not an urgent mission.
Luo Yan and the others didn’t use the deployment chute.
Instead, they rode in a mecha transport vehicle to the surface.
On the way.
Yan Wenbo announced the mission details.
It’s a security mission.
Class Three, Team Four must ensure the safety of the technicians testing the light concentrator in the Great Lake District.
After the captain announced this task.
Dugu Changxin said unhappily, "These guard tasks should be done by the students in the academy."
"Why are we given these trivial tasks?"
After saying that, he opened one eye and glanced at Luo Yan.
"It seems like the captain is favoring someone."
Luo Yan looked ahead.
Ignored it.
Dugu Changxin smiled slightly.
Thinking to himself that this kid is quite patient.
It’s time now.
Luo Yan spoke up.
"I told you."
"Next time, for sure."
"Then."
"Choose between a mecha battle or a martial arts match."
"A Deathmatch will do."
"I’ll see it through to the end."
The temperature inside the carriage dropped suddenly to freezing point!
