Chapter 1241: 1241
Li Lanfeng knew that his suggestion wouldn’t work . Since their opponent planned so carefully, they wouldn’t give them any chances to stay in Base Nebula .
He sighed . “It looks like we can only wait and see what happens . We’ll deal with whatever comes our way . ”
Ling Lan said with regret, “We lack information . Our intelligence network is still lacking . Our opponents didn’t give us enough time to solve this weakness . ”
“In general, we lack time . ” Li Lanfeng knew what was truly limiting them . He suddenly had the urge to fight for the position of the family head of the Li family unlike in the past when he didn’t have any desire for it .
If he became the family head of the Li family, he would be able to use the intelligence network the Li family had built over the years to help Lingtian . This would solve the problem .
After a series of handover, the logistic supplies on the transport ships were all unloaded . The transport ships prepared to leave .
Soon after, Ling Lan received an order to scout the Qingri wormhole . This was to ensure that the transport fleet would have a safe journey back .
The Qingri wormhole was within the planetary sector of the Federation . However, a part of it was close to the planetary sector of Twilight . The Federation had already encountered one ambush there so they wouldn’t allow another ambush to happen .
This seemingly safe order caused Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng’s expression to turn grave . Both of them detected the impending danger in this mission .
“Do you think they will attack us there?” Ling Lan inspected the route to the Qingri wormhole while Li Lanfeng inspected the order they received carefully .
“I feel that they’ll attack us on the route to the Qingri wormhole . An ambush had already happened in the Qingri wormhole so patrols in the wormhole are much denser than before . Hence, if they want to attack us in the Qingri wormhole, they must be prepared to sacrifice an army to do so . ” Li Lanfeng expressed his opinion .
“Our enemy is an ambitious person . He might have hid in our nation for more than ten years . His rank is probably very high now . To him, sacrificing an army is nothing . He might even be happy to see that . ” Ling Lan held a different opinion .
“Hence, it’s possible that a second ambush might happen in the Qingri wormhole . ” Li Lanfeng immediately understood what Ling Lan meant .
“Yes . We might meet an ambush at any moment now . ” Ling Lan sneered . “However, I feel that they will choose to ambush us in the Qingri wormhole . They might think we will feel safe there . ”
Most would never expect a second ambush would occur, at the same location nonetheless . Thus, it was possible that their opponent used this mindset against them .
“That makes sense . However, there is another possibility . Our opponent might predict our mindset and ambush us before we enter the Qingri wormhole . That way, they can catch us while we’re still preparing for battle . ” Li Lanfeng proposed another idea .
“Well, we can look at it that way too . ” Ling Lan closed her eyes . Her thoughts became clearer after discussing Li Lanfeng . “They might have already expected the first ambush to fail . Once we escape from the first ambush successfully, we will be complacent in our victory . During this time, they will lay a second ambush to destroy us completely . ”
“The best place for the second ambush is… here . ” Li Lanfeng and Ling Lan pointed at a certain spot on the map simultaneously .
Their fingers touched . Ling Lan smiled at Li Lanfeng when she noticed that he had the same thoughts as her .
Li Lanfeng blushed when Ling Lan smiled at him . He took his finger back and lowered his right hand slowly . While Ling Lan was looking away, he rubbed his forefinger with his thumb and felt the spot where he and Ling Lan touched . He smiled secretly as he recalled the feeling
Right after Base Nebula departed, Ling Lan ordered all the soldiers to be combat-ready . All the mecha operators would board their mechas and wait in the mecha hold .
The atmosphere in Base Nebula was tense . No one knew why they needed to be prepared when they were in such a safe location . They hadn’t even left the planetary sector of Base Feiyu . However, Ling Lan was the highest-ranked officer of the base . Their commanding officer, Commander Ye, also chose to listen to him . Hence, everyone still obeyed Ling Lan’s order and arrived in their positions .
The fastest team to be prepared was unsurprisingly the Lingtian Independent Army . All the team leaders quickly gathered their team members and waited outside their personal ejection tunnels .
Han Xuya was dispatched to the transport fleet so Lady Mei was currently in charge of the JMC department . During the expansion of the Lingtian Independent Army, Lady Mei performed exceptionally well and was recommended by Han Xuya to be one of the candidates for vice-head . After a series of tests, Lady Mei defeated the other candidates and became the vice-head of the JMC department . She didn’t miss the opportunity Han Xuya gave her .
Lady Mei had already brought all the JMCs to their positions . Once Ling Lan gave the order, they would activate the launching ports and eject the mechas out .
This was Lady Mei’s first time handling such an important mission . She looked calm but her tight fist revealed her excitement and uneasiness .
“Mei Mei, you mustn’t be anxious . You can’t embarrass your head . You mustn’t do that . ” Lady Mei cheered herself on . She respected her head, who was as capable as a man . She hoped that she could complete this mission perfectly to prove that her head’s recommendation was correct .
When you respect a person, you won’t want the said person to be disappointed or questioned . This was how Lady Mei felt towards Han Xuya . Anyone could be disappointed in her but Han Xuya . Other people could question her but they couldn’t question Han Xuya .
Although the atmosphere of Base Nebula was tense, nothing amiss could be detected from its appearance . It continued to move forward slowly and lazily .
Meng Lan controlled the radars in Base Nebula and diligently searched the areas around them . Since this mission was taken by Meng Lan, Little Four started capturing all the signals around them, hoping to find some useful information .
Base Nebula proceeded safely for ten minutes . Their surroundings were quiet . It seemed as though there wasn’t any ambush .
Li Lanfeng frowned . Were they wrong?
“Don’t be anxious . This is just the start . ” Ling Lan was calmer .
“I’m afraid that problems might occur if we wait for too long . ” Li Lanfeng knew that the soldiers below them were just normal people . They would be tired when they maintained a state of high alert for a long period of time . If their enemy attacked them while their pilots were fatigued, it would be disastrous .
