Chapter 1421 - Disappear!

1421 Disappear!

Ling Lan waited for the leader to reply. The leader tried his best to gather his strength and forced an awkward smile on his face. He said weakly, “Everything I said was normal. Why does Duke think this way?”

Even if he was to die, he needed to know the reason.

Ling Lan replied nonchalantly, “That’s because you were too composed. This isn’t the attitude of someone without a backing.”

The leader was enlightened. All in all, they were too careless. Lone scavengers wouldn’t be as daring as them. They wouldn’t have left any traces of them, especially when they realised that someone was coming closer. For their own safety, they should escape as far away as possible as soon as they notice someone.

Ling Lan pouted her lips secretly. She had read many novels in her past life. The situation here was the standard configuration of such an organisation. It would be hard for her to not think of it.

“The rules of the Mecha Scavenger Organization are very strict. If you take me away, we might never be able to work there anymore.” The leader changed his attitude and started acting pitiful.

Ling Lan didn’t reply to him. She just raised her head and looked at Li Lanfeng who was at her side.

Li Lanfeng raised his beam gun and aimed it at the forehead of the leader. It was obvious that Ling Lan was warning him. If he didn’t agree, none of them would be able to stay alive.

The leader started getting anxious when he saw this. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “You can follow us secretly. We will not be aware.”

Ling Lan didn’t reply to him. She silently disagreed with his suggestion.

The leader took a deep breath and said resolutely, “If you don’t accept, kill us.”

If they blatantly brought them to the Mecha Scavenger Organization, they would forever be on the hit-list of the organization. When that happens, not only them, but their families would also get implicated. The leader knew clearly the methods of the Mecha Scavenger Organization. He wasn’t willing to harm his family members so he would rather end this here. Maybe the organisation might take care of his family since he worked up and made many contributions in the past.

Although the leader made a decision, he was still perturbed. No one would want to die if they didn’t have to. This was his thought. His brothers were having the same thought too.

Just as the leader was feeling despair because Ling Lan hadn’t replied to him, he heard Ling Lan’s voice. “Okay.” It sounded like a nightingale.

The leader was elated at the sudden new lease on life. He quickly gathered his companions who were still able to move and picked up the two mechas that Luo Lang had damaged badly. They also carried a mecha they had laid their eyes on with them. Then, they started going back to their base camp.

As for Ling Lan and her comrades, they followed behind the mecha scavengers secretly.

Kamoda was huge. Ling Lan and her comrades flew for two hours before finally arriving at the mountainous portion of the district.

The leader was very cooperative. He took a short rest at the side of a mountain before rushing towards the mountain as though he wanted to slam into it. Then, he disappeared entirely.

The other mechas followed the leader and all the mechas disappeared right in front of Ling Lan and her comrades’ eyes the same way.

Ling Lan waited for a moment before controlling her mecha and flying over. By this time, they had all activated the newest generation chameleon system equipped on their mechas. The chameleon system was able to stimulate the dynamics of their environment. It allowed Ling Lan and her comrades’ mechas to appear invisible while they were moving using dynamic simulation while also blocking radar searches.

Of course, the new generation of the chameleon system wasn’t perfect. The mecha was moving so it would naturally produce heat. Thus, if their enemy used infrared detectors, they would still be able to notice them.

However, there were problems with infrared detectors too. Due to the environment, radiation, as well as the heat produced a human, it would taint the environment which would affect the result of the infrared detectors. Among all the tracking devices, infrared detectors suffered from the most amount of errors. Thus, most places wouldn’t use this kind of outdated and problematic device. They preferred the universal and accurate radar detector.

Li Lanfeng walked to the hillside where the mecha scavengers had disappeared and inspected it carefully. He also used all the devices equipped on his mecha to search the area. The three mechas were well-equipped with tracking devices. They had all kinds of systems, including the heat detectors that were given up by most people.

As the results of the search flashed on his screen, Li Lanfeng’s fingers started flying over his control panel. Using his spiritual power, numerous amounts of data reflected through his eyes furiously.

Luo Lang looked at Ling Lan standing calmly at the side with Li Lanfeng standing motionlessly at the hillside. He couldn’t help but asked curiously, “Boss, why aren’t we looking for the door?”

Waiting here without doing anything wasn’t a good plan.

“There’s no need to hurry. Let Lanfeng analyse his data first. Maybe we’ll get an answer soon,” Ling Lan replied calmly. She trusted Li Lanfeng’s capabilities, especially when it comes to data.

Of course, if Little Four was here, Ling Lan would definitely take charge herself. It wasn’t because she trusted Little Four more. As an intelligent entity, Little Four’s speed at solving this kind of problem was much faster than a human. This was the advantage of his kind. Even if Li Lanfeng’s talent in virtual data exceeded the boundaries of a human, when compared to Little Four who was an amalgamation of data himself, he was incomparable.

They didn’t have to wait too long as Li Lanfeng’s stable voice was heard. “I found it.”

“What is it?” Luo Lang was impatient so he asked anxiously.

“Actually, it’s similar to our chameleon system. There’s a door here but the door is disguised as part of the mountain,” Li Lanfeng explained.

“So we just slam into it directly?” Luo Lang was excited to try.

“Well, if you want to alert the people inside, you can do that,” Li Lanfeng mocked him.

“I see. Is there a mechanism here or do we need a passcode to open the door?” Luo Lang appeared enlightened. He was a little slow so he didn’t realize that Li Lanfeng was teasing him.

Li Lanfeng took a deep breath. Sometimes, talking to simple-minded people wasn’t very fun.

He turned and said to Ling Lan, “I’ve already deciphered the passcode. However, I’m not sure about the situation behind the door. Do you think they will take the chance to lay an ambush or they may have gone to inform the Mecha Scavenger Organization directly?”

“They won’t inform the organization. They will never lay an ambush too.” Ling Lan shook her head. “If they do that, they will just expose themselves. They had already shown they rather die than to get exposed. Now, they won’t do it either.”

“I’m just worried that there might be guards behind the door.” Ling Lan was more worried about this. Once the door was opened, if there were guards inside, they would definitely be discovered.

Before she understood how deep the waters of the Mecha Scavenger Organization was, Ling Lan didn’t want to alert her enemies.

“We can only take the risk,” Li Lanfeng said calmly.

“Of course. We can’t give up halfway.” Ling Lan had her worries but this wouldn’t affect her initial decision. However, when she was executing her plan, she would try her best to think of all the dangers so that they would be well-prepared.
