Chapter 1443 - Family Rule Again?
It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future
By this time, their enemy had no thoughts of fighting anymore. They got the news that their alliance army had already retreated and they were the only army still fighting. In addition, the continuous swarm of mechas from Lingtian and the fact that there were no commanders giving orders caused their psychological barrier to break down. Within a short time, they had all ran away like the tides of the ocean.
Ling Lan gave the order to chase them for 50 kilometers. The Lingtian army only came back after they chased their enemies for exactly that distance.
Zhao Jun opened his cockpit and came down with Doctor Ju.
Doctor Ju rushed to Elder Fatherâs mecha and shouted agitatedly. âElder Father, Elder Father, are you alright?â Elder Fatherâs mecha was already lying on the ground. She was really worried.
Elder Fatherâs cockpit opened with a loud bang. Elder Father crawled out with some effort and said tiredly, âIâm fine.â
He had rested for a while so he finally had the energy to move.
Doctor Ju saw this and immediately took out the agent she had prepared from her medical bag. She passed it to Elder Father.
âUse ours.â A cold voice sounded behind her. Doctor Ju turned around hurriedly. She saw a soldier full of killing intent standing behind her. He had a bottle of agent in his hand. It was tightly sealed but her instinct told her that this agent wasnât simple.
âThank you,â Doctor Ju said with pleasant surprise.
She took the agent from the soldier and wanted to open it for Elder Father to drink. However, Elder Father reached out and grabbed her hands to stop her. âThis is just a minor injury. Thereâs no need to waste such a good agent.â
Ling Lan said calmly, âThis medicine might be good for your old injuries.â
âReally?â Doctor Juâs eyes lit up. Her reason for becoming a doctor was because she didnât want to see Elder Father being troubled by his old injuries again.
âIf thatâs really the case, this medicine is too precious.â Elder Father was touched but he still rejected. âItâs better to leave it for those who need it more.â Elder Father looked at the mecha operators that were injured and reminded her.
âThereâs enough.â Ling Lan looked up slightly at the horizon. âThis battle royale is ending soon.â
âBased on past experiences, itâs almost the end.â Elder Father smiled bitterly.
Ling Lan smiled slightly.
Doctor Ju had already opened the agent at the side. She calmly passed it to Elder Father. Seeing Ling Lanâs insistence, Elder Father didnât refuse anymore and drank it directly.
âThank you for taking care of them.â Ling Lan glanced at Zhao Jun who was standing diagonally behind her.
âThereâs no need to thank me. It wasnât my idea to care for them,â Elder Father replied. He frowned slightly. He just drank the agent but he had already started to feel the effect.
Elder Father wasnât able to hide his change in expression from Ling Lan. Seeing this, Ling Lan raised her hand and asked Elder Father to just focus on recuperating, rather than continuing to talk to her.
Elder Father nodded gratefully. He found an empty spot and sat down. After some time, his expression gradually turned hideous. Doctor Ju, who had been observing him, felt her heart pounding furiously in fear.
âThatâs how the Nuwa agent works. The greater the pain, the more effective it is,â Zhao Jun walked up to her and explained hurriedly.
Doctor Ju nodded to show that she understood. Then, she started waiting patiently at Elder Fatherâs side.
By this time, the search and rescue had ended. The leader in charge of the search and rescue looked gloomy. This time, they had lost two leader caliber soldiers. Fortunately, the other two leaders still had one breath left so after drinking the Nuwa agent, they managed to survive.
âWar!â Ling Lan closed her eyes to hide the pain in them. When she opened them again, she had resumed her calmness.
âBring them back home,â Ling Lan said in a low voice.
âYes, Boss.â The leader took the order and left. Even if the leaders died here, they would bring them home to the place where they grew up in.
âBoss.â Luo Lang looked at her worriedly.
âWhatâs the matter?â Ling Lan raised her eyebrows.
âBrother Lanfengâs condition seems terrible.â After the battle ended, he went to treat Li Lanfeng.
Ling Lan was shocked. She moved her body and immediately came in front of Li Lanfengâs cockpit.
âWhat happened?â Ling Lan frowned and asked when she saw the medic standing outside the entrance of the cockpit with a helpless look.
âAh, report. Regiment Commander Liâs body is covered with wounds. It has been a long time since he got injured. In addition, the automatic drying system of the cockpit caused his undergarments and his skin to get stuck together. If we want to take them apart, it will reopen the wounds again.â The medicâs face scrunched up with frustration. Li Lanfeng seemed to be experiencing excruciating pain. If they wanted to take off his clothes to treat him, it was almost the same as peeling the entire skin off.
âZhao Jun,â Ling Lan shouted.
âYes.â Zhao Jun immediately came beside Ling Lan.
âImmediately built a temporary medical tent,â Ling Lan ordered. âWeâll treat his wound right here.â
Ling Lan knew that the longer they dragged, the more serious Li Lanfengâs injuries would be. Although the Nuwa agentâs self-healing ability was very strong, it was not enough to heal all the gaping wounds on his body, not to mention the internal injuries. If they didnât separate the clothes from the skin as soon as possible, once the clothes got stuck in the wounds... it wasnât just about peeling the skin. They would need to dig into the flesh too.
âYes.â Zhao Jun knew that they couldnât waste any time so he hurriedly led some men and built a new temporary surgery tent.
âCough, cough...â Li Lanfeng suddenly coughed a few times. A drip of blood flowed down the edge of his lips. His body was breaking down. If it wasnât for Li Shiyuâs life-saving agent, he might have died this time.
âCommander, the Li family has its family rules too,â Li Lanfeng smiled and said to Ling Lan weakly.
âHuh?â Ling Lan frowned. âDonât speak. Save your energy for the treatment later.
âI have to say it. Iâll bandage my wounds personally later.â Li Lanfengâs expression suddenly turned serious.
âWhat do you mean?â Faint anger appeared in Ling Lanâs eyes.
âI canât let anyone see...â Li Lanfeng gave a bitter smile.
Ling Lan then remembered Li Lanfengâs beautiful face. She understood a little of what he was saying.
âThey will just be bandaging the wounds on your body,â Ling Lan explained. âI will watch over them.â
âNot only that. Everywhere...â Li Lanfeng forced himself to keep conscious. âAlthough it isnât as strict as the family rules of the Ling family, it isnât any better...â He grabbed Ling Lanâs hand. âIt will affect my future. Donât let... anyone... see it... anyhow... go back to the base camp, find... Shi...â
Before he could finish his sentence, he fainted.
Ling Lan furrowed her brows even more furiously. It was obvious that Li Lanfengâs injuries didnât allow him to wait until he went back to the base camp for treatment.
âBoss, weâre done.â Zhao Jun had already finished building the temporary tent.
âBoss?â The medic looked uncertain. Were they going to carry out the treatment?
âPrepare all the antiseptics and bandages.â Ling Lan made a decision swiftly. She would take care of the problem when it came but now, she must save Li Lanfeng first.
âYes, Boss.â The medic rushed to prepare the medications and bandages.
Ling Lan carried Li Lanfeng up and swiftly walked to the temporary tent built by Zhao Jun and his men.
She carefully placed Li Lanfeng on the stretcher. After some time, the medic came back with all the necessary medications and bandages. He placed them at the side.
He took the pair of scissors and was just about to cut the clothes. Just then, he heard Ling Lanâs voice. âLet me do it. You can go out.â
âHuh?â
âYes?â Ling Lan glanced at the medic. Her gaze wasnât cold but the medic still felt as if an icicle just penetrated his soul.
âOh, oh, alright. Alright.â The medic didnât know what he was saying. By the time he regained his senses, he had already ran out of the tent.
He patted his chest lightly. Only the regiment commanders would be able to withstand the aura of their commander. You could really kneel in fright from just his glance.
âI donât know what your family rule is but since youâre so afraid of it, itâs not something simple. Maybe itâll be easier to solve it if Iâm the one doing this.â Ling Lan sighed softly. Then, she took the pair of scissors and started cutting the undergarments that were stuck to the skin.
Wait... My Ling Lan, have you forgotten that youâre a lady? How can you look at a manâs naked body? Even though itâs covered in blood and badly injured.
