“Boss, what should we do? Should we wait or circle around them?” Luo Lang observed the happenings from a distance, making contact with the team at the same time.

Ling Lan did not make a decision immediately, instead asking Qi Long, “Combat, what do you think?”

The battle maniac Qi Long had long been driven stir-crazy by these past calm and uneventful days. The moment he heard Boss’s question, he quickly replied, “Let’s go straight through. If any among them are blind enough to dare rob us, let’s just end them.” These words were said with a great thuggish air, but it was also Qi Long’s true opinion.

“I think it is very necessary for us to hone our blades 1 beforehand.” As his sworn brother, Han Jijyun naturally had to show his utmost support for Qi Long’s stand. Besides, he too felt that going through a battle would allow their team to become closer. After all, they had just added three additional people, so they had to adapt to the new additions’ skills and work on their teamwork. Han Jijyun liked to have everything in hand.

[No Mecha Unrepaired] had no opinion on this matter, while Li Lanfeng’s thoughts ran parallel to Han Jijyun’s without any prior discussion. So, Li Lanfeng piped up in support, “Abacus speaks truly. We’re working together as a team for the first time after all. There is indeed a need for a chance for a real battle. If there are any problems, we can then take some time to adjust before we get too deep into the mission. This will also be extremely beneficial to the future of our clan.”

Lin Zhong-qing did not say outright whether he agreed or disagreed — he only told his boss that he had enough power blocks saved up to support this battle. Indirectly, he was also conveying that he too approved of this fight.

Since everyone had the desire to fight, Ling Lan of course would not refuse. Thus, she ordered Luo Lang’s team of three which was a distance away observing to stay put, saying, “Razor, wait till we get there, then we will move together.”

Ling Lan was afraid Luo Lang would act impulsively — even though the other side’s combat power was just at the level of a typical civilian expedition team, their numbers were not few. For Luo Lang’s team of only three people to go up against them was still rather dangerous.

“Understood, Boss,” responded Luo Lang firmly. He took Ling Lan’s orders even more seriously than Qi Long did — Qi Long might still nod on the surface but disobey secretly, while Luo Lang would never disobey something he had promised his boss.

Very soon, Ling Lan had led the rest of the team to Luo Lang’s side. Then, she indicated for everyone to move forwards in their original formation, acting as if they knew nothing as they approached the heart of the combat. But secretly, everyone was already mentally prepared for battle. The moment they found the others’ arrows pointed at them, they would swoop down upon them at lightning speed and destroy the other side.

“Leader, there’s a mecha squad incoming.” A sentry member noticed Luo Lang’s 3-man team, and he quickly reported the sighting to his team leader at the heart of the fight.

“How many people?” The team leader, who was currently using firepower to suppress their opponents, could not help but frown and ask.

The opposing 5-man team, which was currently being pummelled by them and could only resist futilely, had long been their target. They had discovered them when the other side had managed to collect a rare and precious power source. The team leader knew very well what power sources represented. As long as they could possess this power source and hand it over to the military, they would become filthy rich overnight. Therefore, they had long lain in ambush here, planning to kill the other party to snatch this rare and precious power source.
