It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1253 I Can Persevere!

“We can only take the gamble.” Ling Lan realised that she didn’t have a choice.

“Yes. If you want to live, pray that Base Nebula will get out of the no-signal zone quickly and the reinforcements will arrive soon.” Number Three didn’t stop attacking while he was speaking to Ling Lan. His assault on Lord Jindao even got more ferocious.

“Ask Li Lanfeng, Xie Yi, and Luo Lang to leave first.” Ling Lan didn’t want her comrades to die with her.

Number Three had taken control of her body. Hence, she needed to let him do the talking.

“Don’t think about it. They won’t leave even if you tell them to,” Number Three replied with certainty.

Ling Lan knew that this was the truth. Since they came here, they were already prepared to live or die with her. After sorting out her thoughts, she let out a deep sigh. She could only hope that her body would be able to pull through until the reinforcements arrived. She didn’t want to die with her comrades.

Time passed slowly. Ling Lan suddenly vomited blood.

“Have you reached your limit?” Number Three frowned.

“Three minutes has passed.” Ling Lan bore with the excruciating pain in her body as she looked at the timer on her screen. She had reached her limit. From now on, the longer Number Three controlled her body, the greater the damage her body would receive.

“Damn it, these imperial operators are so slow.” Number Three started becoming irascible when he saw Ling Lan getting hurt. However, he needed to continue taking over her body. Once he left, Lord Jindao would be able to kill Ling Lan.

“You can’t blame them. The most important thing is whether Base Nebula had managed to leave this zone and call for reinforcements,” Ling Lan kept her cool.

“There’s only one minute left. If they haven’t arrived by then...” Number Three was worried. If their host died, they could just find another host. However, Ling Lan was like a child to them. They didn’t want her to die.

Actually, they were already breaking the rules when they decided to take control of her body. Based on the guidelines of the learning space, they weren’t allowed to interfere with the host’s matter. But, they wouldn’t be punished even if they broke the rules so this was why they could help Ling Lan whenever they wanted.

“They will come. Even if they don’t, I know one person will.” Ling Lan was confident.

She started practicing her Qi exercises. She also asked Number Three to drink the third generation Nuwa agent in her cockpit.

Ling Lan hoped that she would be able to resist longer with the help of these two things. This would increase their chance of survival. action

Number Three dodged Lord Jindao’s attack while drinking the Nuwa agent. Ling Lan immediately felt numb and itchy. Fortunately, the excruciating pain was still there so it covered up the numbness and itchiness a little. If not, Ling Lan might go crazy from this weird feeling

“The side effects of this agent are so frightening.” Number Three was in control of Ling Lan’s body so he had a taste of the strange and uncomfortable feeling too. His expression turned hideous.

“Number Three, bear with it.” Ling Lan didn’t expect the third generation Nuwa agent to be so powerful. It was many times stronger than its second generation. She felt that her endurance was good but she almost lost control of herself too.

“Howl!” Number Three roared. His fingers moved furiously over the control panel. Ling Lan could almost see green smoke rising from the panel.

Ling Lan’s mecha started attacking Lord Jindao crazily as if this was its last burst of fire.

“Increase the frequency of our beams.” Li Lanfeng frowned deeply when he saw Ling Lan’s actions.

He felt that Ling Lan might be preparing for something. He just didn’t know what it was since Ling Lan didn’t give him enough hints.

Lord Jindao felt the increase in strength and speed of Ling Lan’s furious assault. His expression changed as this meant that his opponent’s hand speed had increased again. When Ling Lan managed to block his attacks, he was already very puzzled. He thought that Ling Lan might have taken some forbidden medicine and activated an innate talent that could strengthen his abilities.

However, this usually could only be done once. Did this mean that his guess was wrong? Did Ling Lan manage to advance to a god-class operator during this fight?

Malicious intent appeared in Lord Jindao’s eyes. He had the urge to ignore the plan and kill Ling Lan immediately.

Luckily, he managed to control his impulses in time. He didn’t launch his ultimate technique but continued defending instead. If anyone else saw their fight, they might think that he was suppressed by the combined efforts of the four mechas.

Once Ling Xiao arrived, he would kill Ling Lan instantly and let him have a taste of what it was like to lose his son. This was the reason why Ling Lan still hadn’t been killed by Lord Jindao. Lord Jindao purposely let her off.

The sudden burst of fierce attacks lasted only for a short while. Ling Lan changed her offensive stance to a defensive stance.

Li Lanfeng watched Ling Lan attentively. He started analysing her actions.

One minute had passed. Ling Lan’s condition was getting worse and worse. Blood was flowing continuously out of her mouth. Her clothes were drenched in blood. The smell of blood filled the entire cockpit.

“Ling Lan, can you still handle it?” Number Three’s heart was in pain. Was Ling Lan really going to die?

Ling Lan gave a bright smile. “Of course, I can last one more minute.”

Number Three nodded. He knew that she would only be able to resist another thirty seconds at most, that was if he slowed down his attacks to minimise the backlash to her body.

Number Three was also trying to drag the time as much as he could.
