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

Little White's eyes lit up with fighting spirit. In the next second, numerous tentacles moved towards the forest fervently and pulled back the soldiers who had already left the forest.

The frightened soldiers landed on the ground with blood drained from their faces, but before they could feel relieved, the tentacles attacked them again. This time however, they weren't thrown back. They were thrown to the other end of the forest which was closer to their destination. The numerous soldiers could be seen whizzing through the air.

"Ah…" Frightened high-pitched screams filled the air. They became flying humans again.

Li Lanfeng looked at the whizzing figures in the air and smiled. "I hope that you won't be scared to death. The assessment of 250 Ace Mecha Clan is not that easy to get over."

"This is enough, Little White." Li Lanfeng noticed that Little White was getting carried away so he hurriedly reminded it.

The excited Little White quickly retracted its tentacles. In the next moment, it turned back to its pocket-size Little White again.

"Rawr!"

'Master, how was my performance? Was it good?'

Little White had already forgotten that it almost made a mistake after its spectacular showing just now. It rushed out of the forest happily and jumped into Ling Lan's arm. It started rolling around and acting cute in front of Ling Lan.

Ling Lan flicked Little White's forehead softly. She communicated with it using her spiritual power. "You made a mistake, but I'll forgive you this time."

Maybe this flying experience was better than the assessment they planned to give the soldiers in the first place.

"Rawr!"

'Master isn't angry. That is good. That is good…'

Little White jumped onto Ling Lan's shoulder happily. It rubbed its round and fat body against Ling Lan's cheeks to show its excitement.

"Erm, is that your pet?" Yan Zheng, who was standing beside Ling Lan, asked in surprise.

He had never seen such a weird and cute-looking creature before. He didn't expect a cold man like Ling Lan to have such a cute little pet. In his mind, Ling Lan didn't look like someone who would have a pet. Even if she did, it might be a ferocious pet like a giant savage beast .

"I guess so." Ling Lan reached out and pinched the little bastard who was attempting to touch her. Then, amidst Little White's screeching, Ling Lan smooshed Little White into different shapes.

"It feels good to squeeze it." Ling Lan smiled slightly. She liked to squeeze Little White. It's really fun.

However, to Yan Zheng, he felt that Ling Lan's smile was vicious and ruthless.

Yan Zheng shivered silently. As expected, for a killing machine like Regiment Commander Ling, cute wasn't a reason for him to raise a pet.

It had to be said that sometimes, certain impressions that other people had about Ling Lan wasn't what she wanted to portray. It was other people's own thoughts which they felt was the reality. In actual fact, Ling Lan really took Little White in just because it was cute.

Yan Zheng felt that this conversation couldn't carry on anymore so he changed the topic. "Regiment Commander Ling, was that part of the assessment?"

Ling Lan smiled as she glanced at him. "You noticed it?"

"If you just want them to go to the destination, you wouldn't have place ambush inside the forest." As a bystander, Yan Zheng managed to see the motive behind Ling Lan's actions.

"I wonder if the 2500 soldiers could see this point," Ling Lan asked calmly. Actually, the assessment was the journey to their destination. If the soldiers didn't understand this point, it would be useless even if they reached the destination.

Yan Zheng smiled bitterly. He sighed. "Regiment Commander Ling, I have a request. It might be hard but I wonder if you can give them some hints. These soldiers spent a long time in the unused prep department so…"

These soldiers might be able to maintain their strengths but their vigilance and alertness to their surroundings might decrease due to the environment they were previously living in. It couldn't be compared to those veteran soldiers who always went on the battlefield.

"I'll give them what they deserve. As for the rest, they have to rely on themselves," Ling Lan replied coldly.

Yan Zheng wanted to say more to help his soldiers but in the end, he didn't say anything. He just sighed and hoped that the soldiers would realize this point.

Qiu Yang was very lucky and unlucky at the same time. He got thrown into the air again but this time, he landed right at the exit of the forest.

Qiu Yang was dizzy from all the throwing around so he staggered as he tried to get up. After a few minutes, he finally felt better. He quickly inspected his body. He realized that after he flew into the air two times and fall to the ground both times, he wasn't hurt at all.

After that, Qiu Yang started looking around him and he saw many soldiers around him. They were all struggling to get up from the ground. Their eyes were in a daze too.

After examining his surroundings, Qiu Yang narrowed his eyes in contemplation. He realized that all the soldiers around him were powerful soldiers. Some were even stronger than him. The elite aces were beside him too. Qiu Yang counted them and concluded all of the elite aces were present.

The other people around him were mostly normal ace operators like Qiu Yang. There were a few special-class operators too.

It seemed like the tentacle monster didn't select the soldiers at random. It did it with a purpose.

They were thrown to the exit of the forest but most of the soldiers were still at the entrance of the forest. Those soldiers at the entrance needed to start all over again. Qiu Yang wasn't sure if they were able to escape the attacks from the tentacle monster.

'Has the assessment started yet?' Qiu Yang suddenly thought of something and he quickly opened the map that he downloaded.

On the map, he could see his position at the exit of the forest. Qiu Yang stared at the map intently. Suddenly, he noticed that the time on the upper left hand corner of the map had changed into a countdown.

"01:23" Everyone overlooked this point because they left at 2 pm in the afternoon. The countdown on the map was at 2:00 too. Hence, everyone thought that this number represented the time of the day.

"1:22" Qiu Yang waited for one minute and saw the countdown decreased by one. He confirmed that the time was actually a countdown.

By now, Qiu Yang realized that the assessment had started. Although he didn't know what the criteria for the assessment was, he knew that if they didn't arrive at their destination within two hours, the results wouldn't be good.

Qiu Yang calculated the distance between him and the destination. If he continued at the pace he was walking at just now, he wouldn't be able to reach his destination within the allocated time. If he wanted to finish this mission, he had to do his best, or more than his best.

Qiu Yang finally understood why the Senior Colonel Liu told them that they had to rush to their destination. They really had to rush there.

As Qiu Yang was confirming his guess, many soldiers had already left. Qiu Yang quickly caught up with them and joined this group of people.
