Zhao Jun’s excitement instantly turned cold. “Then I would have to do two things at once. I can’t operate the mecha and sing at the same time.” Zhao Jun’s face fell after saying this. He couldn’t imagine that other than being a tone-deaf man, he would also have to sing at the top of his lungs and lose all his pride in the process.

“Why do you have to sing? Is there a rule that says you have to sing to use your Decadent Voice? You can’t use normal conversation?” Ling Lan asked again.

“Talking?” Zhao Jun’s spirit was shaken once again.

“Yeah. As long as you keep talking, you don’t have to think and just speak whatever, then let infuse your talent into your words,” Ling Lan recommended.

“Yeah, you’re right. How come I didn’t think of this?” Ling Lan prompt had made Zhao Jun finally realize it. He had found a path that was suitable for him, and this would allow him to become a terrifying killing machine in future battlefields and make opposing countries fear him. He would also get the alias, “The Reaper”.

“Of course, you’d have to think about it yourself since the talent is yours.” At this moment, Ling Lan didn’t think that the conversation they had unintentionally would break Zhao Jun out of his shell and in the end make him become a god of killing on the battlefield.

“I understand, Boss!” Zhao Jun said excitedly. He had surreptitiously changed the way he addressed her, and this meant that he had truly recognized Ling Lan as his real boss and was not just calling her Boss Lan out of respect.

It seemed like the two of them had conversed for some time, but because they were in the mindspace, in the eyes of Qi Long and the others, Boss Lan and Zhao Jun had only gone silent for a few seconds, following which they heard Zhao Jun sing softly with his eyes closed.

Zhao Jun had never tried to use his talent through speaking; thus, Ling Lan still let him use his own way to do it.

Not a single word of his singing was on beat and note, making Qi Long and the others feel irritated. They subconsciously shut out this irritation and the sound disappeared slowly. As they stared blankly into space, their cognitive reaction actually becoming sluggish, they suddenly felt as if their minds were given a prod and they woke up. It turned out that Ling Lan saw that they were being affected as well, so she used her spiritual charge to wake them up.

Zhao Jun had hardly ever used the ability of his innate talent and hadn’t learnt to control it, which led to his Decadent Voice being unable to differentiate between friend and foe, affecting everyone.

Ling Lan carefully used her spiritual power to make the energy from his Decadent Voice expand towards a certain direction. It had covered almost the entire center location.

The movements of the mecha that were originally patrolling around suddenly grew slowed and in the end, they made a pose towards one direction and stopped moving.

“This is a good opportunity.” Being able to multi-task, Ling Lan immediately instantly waved her hand upon seeing the situation, telling her team members to begin the operation. She first dragged Zhao Jun along and jumped out from the bushes and forest. They landed on the ground and darted into a tent.

Qi Long and the others followed them inside. Their luck wasn’t bad because the tent Ling Lan had chosen was the tent for supplies. There was only one person responsible for the distribution of supplies, and he was currently leaning on a box with his eyes closed due to Zhao Jun’s ability.

Ling Lan took a miniature tranquilizer dart and shot it towards him, instantly knocking the other party out cold. After discovering the power and convenience of the tranquilizer darts, everyone in Ling Lan’s team had enough of them in their bags. In addition, Li Shiyu was very obsessed with making these tranquilizer darts. In short, these weapons would never go out of stock.

Ling Lan had naturally chosen this tent for a reason; it was close to ten other tents and it had only one person inside along with countless boxes which made for good hiding places.

Right then, Zhao Jun took a deep breath. Singing was really something that was difficult for him. In order to achieve the maximum effect, he held his breath and sang with a single breath.

Zhao Jun’s singing had stopped, and the mecha operators outside seemed like they had awoken as they continued their original movements. Since Ling Lan and the rest of her team were quick and took only a few seconds moving into the tent, the mecha operators ignored this delay in time.

Right then, one team of people were walking towards this tent. Hearing the sounds, Ling Lan waved her hands. Out of the six of them, Xie Yi was the one whose physique was most similar to the person who was responsible for distributing supplies. He quickly took of that person’s clothes and put them on himself. The others all hid in the back, with Qi Long holding on to that person that they took the clothes off from. He darted behind a box in the corner and hid.

A few seconds later, the curtain at the entrance of the tent was lifted up, and seven or eight people immediately entered. One of them mumbled, “This weather is really unpredictable. It was so hot I was dying just a moment ago and now it’s so cold that I can’t take it anymore.”

“It’s already day 3, and you’re still not used to it?” a companion asked in surprise.

“You know that I come from planet Flame. No matter how hot it is, I will be able to endure it. However, once it gets cold, my body will automatically reject it,” the first speaker replied with a bitter smile.

“I guess that’s right. Actually, if you said that earlier, you could have just stayed in the resting area and not come out here. These supplies can actually be taken just by the rest of us,” his companion said with concern.

“It’s alright. The more I stay still the colder it gets. It’s better if a move a bit. It’ll feel better,” the first speaker said indifferently.

At this moment, Xie Yi had his head down and was leaning towards a box as though he was very tired and had fallen asleep.

The person leading the group saw this and was not happy. He said, “This guy Zhou Jiyun used his connections to get himself an easy job and actually decided to just be lazy.”

One person beside him said with a hint of jealousy, “It can’t helped that he’s someone from the Zhou family, a top class elite family. The commander had to give it to him for their sake.”

His words made the other people show an expression of envy and jealousy. The Second Men’s Military Academy and the top class elite family had an agreement. Although they would supply much battle strength for the Second Men’s Military Academy, their special privileges were still there.

The leader of these people let go of his discontent and walked forward. He bent down to nudge Xie Yi’s shoulder and yelled, “Zhou Jiyun, wake up.” Not all those who were from the Zhou family were exceptional and outstanding. For example, this person that was in front them was useless beyond the scope of useless. He had gotten this close to him yet he could actually still be fast asleep and not wake up. He was really slow in reacting.

Just as this thought crossed through his mind, he saw a silver flash in front of his eyes. He felt a slight sting on his forehead and then he instantly went unconscious.

Xie Yi used his right hand to push against that person’s chest to make sure he didn’t fall over, while he used his left to show he wasn’t happy being woken up, immediately pushing away the hand that the other party had placed on his shoulder. He mumbled, “Who is it?”

The people in the back didn’t feel anything wrong. Right then, Xie Yi immediately grabbed hold of the unconscious person’s shoulder, bit his lip and said, “You again!?” Then he turned around to tackle him onto the ground, holding up his right hand and getting ready to beat him up.

Since Xie Yi had blocked off the vision of the people in the back, they didn’t discover that their companion was already unconscious. They saw that Xie Yi was about to beat him, so they quickly ran up to stop him...

Their attention was all on Xie Yi. Seeing this, Ling Lan and the others, who were hiding elsewhere, each shot out one miniature tranquilizer dart. Ling Lan shot three of them consecutively and took down the rest of the members of this group in an instant.

Seeing that his team had taken down all them, Xie Yi stood up. Ling Lan waved her hand, signaling for everyone to change their clothes, and they immediately found the most suitable clothes that fit for themselves and changed into them.

Everyone quickly changed. Although Ling Lan was leaning towards a more slim and small body figure and if she chose a small size to wear, it would be still too big for her. However, Ling Lan didn’t think that this was an issue because there was someone who had a bigger issue; the clothes didn’t fit Luo Lang when he wore it, and this immediately made him make a face. He wore a seemingly bullied expression which made everyone laugh.

Ling Lan didn’t know how to feel. She didn’t whether she should be grateful or hateful regarding Luo Lang’s existence. While helping her hide her gender, he had also simultaneously reminded her that she didn’t really have the beauty and tenderness of a young teenage girl.

In the end, everyone decided that Luo Lang would walk in their middle, in case someone found out that their clothes didn’t fit. Everyone also took some things from the tent and walked out towards the other tents, brash and forthright. They even conversed amongst themselves as they went. This extremely normal scene make the patrol mecha operators in the entire area glance at them before looking elsewhere in the next second.

The mecha operators definitely didn’t imagine the possibility of others successfully sneaking in when they had surveillance in the entire area. They also didn’t think that such intruders would be so daring and change into their uniforms right under their noses.

Every time they went past a tent, Ling Lan would use her spiritual power to investigate it. When she discovered that the tent didn’t contain the beacon, she would then turn towards another tent. After continuing to walk like this, they finally found their objective and Ling Lan was delighted. She was about to lead her team members in that direction and had yet to get close, when suddenly the curtain of a tent beside them was opened. One person peeked out, saw their backs towards them and yelled, “Why are you guys going to the Commander’s quarters? We’re waiting for you to bring the ingredients to make some food.”

Ling Lan’s hand shook slightly and one tranquilizer dart was surreptitiously shot out. Qi Long, who was in the rear-line, tacitly jumped towards the door and held up the person who was falling out of the tent. He softly said, “Why are you yelling? There’s a situation in the supplies area. We’re afraid that it’ll be leaked and wanted to surreptitiously report it. If you want to know, then come with us...”

“... It’s that Zhou Jiyun...” Qi Long deliberately said this in a lowered voice. Amidst his mumbling, he clearly disclosed this part. The conversation they heard at the supply area revealed that it seemed this Zhou Jiyun wasn’t very liked by his team.

As expected, the other people in the tent, who had looked towards the guy who had yelled at the tent entrance, heard Qi Long’s indistinct words and understood. It was possible that Zhou Jiyun had offended someone again. However, in the past, people were still willing to endure it. Now that the commander had left, without the commander’s pressure, some couldn’t take it anymore.

These people instantly looked away, but their ears perked up. They were trying to clearly hear Qi Long and the others’ conversation. They wanted to know how they were going to take revenge on Zhou Jiyun.

When they looked away, Qi Long dragged that guy out of the tent entrance and drew down the curtain as he left in order to block off their line of sight.
