It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)-Chapter 1400 - A Heaven-defying Cheat Code!

After lying prone there waiting patiently until their bones were about to creak from exhaustion, finally, most of the opposing mecha army had entered their trap. Seeing that none of them had been discovered yet, the team leader let out a minute sigh of relief. The sigh of relief coming out of his body was like a burden on his heart being slowly lifted, it felt as though he had been liberated and was ready to fight to the bitter end. With his whole heart and soul being all geared up to fight, he let out a magnified roar that traveled through the whole jungle.

As his roar died out, shadows started raining down on the unsuspecting mecha army. While they were raining down the air, silver sheens of light were falling along with them.

To prevent their opponents from discovering them from using infrared equipment, they didn’t bring any heat-generating weapons, which meant they were executing this ambush with only cold weapons.

Before long, a scene of massacre and desolation followed with the descent of the silver sheens. In the back of their minds, they knew this day might possibly be their end, but they did not agree with that notion, so they would fight and fight until they were the only ones left standing.

“Regiment commander’s orders: Once the Nuwa agents are finished, we will retreat from the frontlines.” As the gruesome fight carried on, it naturally would get more intense, and as such it was inevitable that mecha operator’s on Zhao Jun’s side would get hurt in the process. Once someone sustained any life-threatening injuries, they would be sent back to the medics to be injected with the life-saving Nuwa agent, and after a few minutes of rest, they would jump right back on their feet and continue to fight. However, even with such a powerful lifeline, it was still limited in supply, and thus it was why Zhao Jun ordered his men to stop when they ran out of such powerful medicinal agents.

Although Zhao Jun’s mecha clan was outnumbered by the enemy by five times the amount, they still managed to grasp the overall tempo of the fight as they were able to get the jump on the enemy first. Moreover, with their powerful combat ability and with the help of the Nuwa agent, they continued controlling the tempo of the fight within a tight grasp, and thus the situation started tilting in Zhao Jun’s favour.

With their unrelenting spirit and seemingly undying status, the feeling of fear started to spread across the whole army. As the number of comrades on their side got fewer and fewer, that feeling of fear took over their already erratic mind. Before the commander could even order a retreat, a portion of the mecha operators already had a mental breakdown. They actually started running away.

Once one mecha operator started to flee in fear, it caused a domino effect within the others as they all started slowly taking steps back before fully running in a mad dash.ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

Soon, Zhao Jun’s mecha clan started to wake up from their semi-bloodcrazed state, as they looked around the jungle, they realized the ground was littered with corpses and dyed with blood. They look around their vicinity, but not a single enemy in sight. They were seethed that the enemy would take the fun away from them.

Zhao Jun did try and chase after the fleeing enemies, but when he realized that they were going towards the flatlands, he decisively called back his mecha operators and hid back in the jungle.

Zhao Jun won this battle but the number of agents on his hands were severely depleted. The more saddening fact was that casualties were sustained. Although only three mecha operators had died, it was enough to sadden their comrades.

Although the Nuwa agent was able to save a person’s life even if they were at the brink of death, if you were unlucky enough to get hit in the fatal spot, you would die immediately. No amount of Nuwa agent would be able to save your life. This was the situation the three casualties faced.

However, these mecha operators grew up on the battlefield. They were used to saying farewell to their comrades. After they grieved for a while, they recovered from their grief and started clearing up the battlefield. They sharpened the weapons and started searching for any survivors from their enemy’s side.

Based on the rules of the Lawless Lands, if these survivors weren’t saved by their surviving comrades or some sort of reinforcement, once the battle ended, they would become slaves of the winner.

Zhao Jun and his men knew clearly that Boss lacked everything, including men. The more capable slaves they captured, the better it was for Boss.

Of course, to ensure their safety, these slaves were chased away from Zhao Jun’s mecha clan by some of his men to be locked up in a temporary location. There would be a small mecha team stationed there watching over them.

“Regiment commander, how are we going to act after this?” The team leaders couldn’t wait for their next fight after they tasted their first success.

Zhao Jun pondered for a while. He said, “Control this jungle first. Close all entry and exits.”

“Huh? We’re not fighting anymore?” The team leaders were a little disappointed.

“I’ve thought about this carefully. I don’t think that Boss sent 2000 of us into Kamoda to fight on the frontline.” Zhao Jun said, “That was the mission of the mecha army directly under the previous Lord Gen and Lord Zhen...”

“Then what do we do? Be an onlooker?” One of the team leaders asked curiously.

“No, we’re going to completely crush our defeated enemy.” Zhao Jun smiled.

“I see.” Anyone that was able to become a team leader wasn’t stupid. Hence, the team leaders instantly understood Zhao Jun’s ambiguous words.

“When both sides suffer heavy losses, it will be the time we act.” Excitement was seen in Zhao Jun’s eyes. Fortunately, he got enlightened just in time. If not, he might have died to pay for his mistake.

“Boss, news finally came back from Zhao Jun’s side.” Han Xuya, who had always been waiting for the result of the fight, jumped up in excitement immediately when she received a report back from Zhao Jun.

Li Lanfeng, who had always been calm and composed, couldn’t control himself either. He stood up and shouted, “Hurry up and say it.”

“We won completely. We destroyed more than 4200 enemy mechas and gained a total of 4577 prisoners. 2800 mechas escaped. But, three mecha operators on our side died.” When she read the last past, Han Xuya’s voice sounded slightly dejected. However, she regained her composure quickly. Compared to what they had gained, these deaths were negligible.

Luo Chao, who was worried at the start, gave a bright smile when Han Xuya read the result of the fight.

“It looks like Zhao Jun didn’t fight with his opponent directly. He at least used tactics,” Li Lanfeng smiled as he said. Based on Zhao Jun’s intelligence, he should have thought about using tactics, but there was still the possibility of Zhao Jun going crazy and ordering his men to fight the enemy head on. But, luckily, that didn’t happen.

The only person that remained indifferent was Ling Lan. When she heard the result, there was no change in her emotion. She just asked calmly, “Ask Zhao Jun what he plans to do after this.”

Han Xuya immediately sent Ling Lan’s inquiry over to Zhao Jun. Within one second, Zhao Jun gave his reply. “Wait and see. Bear the fruits of other people’s labor.”

After hearing Zhao Jun’s reply, Ling Lan gave a light smile. It looked like Zhao Jun had understood how to become an outstanding regiment commander.

“Very good. Li Lanfeng.” Ling Lan shifted her cold gaze towards Li Lanfeng. This was the look of a person who had been accustomed to hold a bunch of power and authority.

Li Lanfeng stood up straight. “Yes.”

“Immediately lead two medical battle teams to reinforce Zhao Jun.” Ling Lan knew clearly that Zhao Jun lacked all kinds of medical agents at this moment, especially the Nuwa agent. Nuwa agents must be the main reason why there were so few casualties. Without the Nuwa agent, at least half of Zhao Jun’s mecha clan might have died in order to take down a ten thousand-men mecha army.

A fight was tough, especially when you wanted to fight against an enemy that had overwhelming numbers. If he didn’t have those agents, the price he had to pay for a victory would be expensive and tragic. At this thought, Ling Lan was glad that she decisively took Li Shiyu under her wing. This decision allowed Lingtian, as well as her, to have the most heaven-defying cheat code——more lives. Ling Lan felt that this cheat code was on par with Little Four, maybe even more useful than him. With the Nuwa agent in hand, she could own the entire world.

(Little Four cried sadly. You can’t just throw me into the dusty corner just because I’m in a coma... No, I must wake up immediately to prove that I’m the most useful and heaven-defying cheat code. Li Shiyu, you bastard. Move to the side... Sob, I understand it now. Li Shiyu must be my natural enemy. He wants to take away my position as the most important underling to Boss. How irritating!)

“Yes.” The moment Li Lanfeng replied, he disappeared from the spot.

The medical teams had already finished their preparations. They were just waiting for Ling Lan’s order.

Luo Chao and Han Xuya left the meeting room and started getting busy with their work. When Ling Lan was left alone, she slowly opened her hands, revealing her completely wet palm
