“What are you saying?” Qi Long rubbed his face roughly, suddenly finding that for someone with an impetuous nature like him, dealing with someone with such a slow reflex arc like [No Mecha Unrepaired] was really a kind of torture.

“Boss Lan said that, if by any chance we got split up, we should use pre-arranged aliases to find one another …” replied Chang Xinyuan.

“So you’re saying that Boss Lan will use an alias? Impossible. If Boss Lan really managed to infiltrate the Swift Dragon base, he would definitely use an identity of one of the fallen soldiers, otherwise the other side will see through him.” Qi Long was the first to express disbelief. An alias would be easily exposed once the other side checked their databases.

“But you all said that Boss Lan is a powerful hacker. Couldn’t he have changed the database?” Chang Xinyuan did not know much about hackers, so he just shared what he believed.

“How could a database be so easily changed?” Qi Long could not help but burst out into snickers. Even the strongest hacker would never dare to do any hanky-panky in the mainframe.

“No, perhaps [No Mecha Unrepaired] is right …” said Han Jijyun, interrupting Qi Long.

Han Jijyun’s words instantly shut Qi Long up. When it came to his sworn brother’s judgment, Qi Long had full faith. Therefore, he could only rub his nose helplessly and say nothing more.

“Boss Lan’s hacking skills are very formidable. I believe that anyone who knows about Boss Lan’s ability knows this.” Han Jijyun’s words received emphatic nods from Qi Long and the other three of Ling Lan’s original team. In contrast to Li Shiyu and Chang Xinyuan who only knew Ling Lan for a short time, the four of them who had grown up beside Ling Lan were well aware of Ling Lan’s exploits in terms of hacking.

“Thus, who can say that Boss Lan really can’t change the database of the command mainship?” At this point, Han Jijyun’s eyes were shining, “I believe that Boss Lan would have already predicted our current circumstances. He will definitely add the aliases we agreed to in advance into the database, along with all the other relevant info.”

“Once we’re at the Swift Dragon base, if someone actually comes to check our identity, we just need to report the fake identity that has been arranged for us,” Han Jijyun stated his decision.

“What if team leader Ling did not manage to change it in time …” Li Shiyu, who was not very clear on Ling Lan’s abilities, was still rather worried. He felt it was somewhat inappropriate to use this kind of gambling-like method.

“Since there is the possibility of exposure no matter what we do, we might as well take the gamble. I believe in Boss Lan,” replied Han Jijyun with determination.

His words drew the agreement of Qi Long and the other three original members. Seeing the determination in their eyes, Li Shiyu could only tuck away his doubts, sigh, and consent. Chang Xinyuan had no objections. As a mechanic who was focused on researching and modifying mecha, as long as the team has made a final decision, he would not have any opposing opinions.

Just like that, another day and half a night later, at 3 o’ clock in the morning, the patrol ship safely arrived at the Swift Dragon base.

The Swift Dragon base, which had long been informed, systematically placed all the personnel from the mainship in a large battalion. Qi Long and the others entered the base calmly under the direction of the military personnel of the Swift Dragon Base.

They only took a few casual glances at the situation around them and then they stopped looking around. But those few glances were enough to shock them, because there was an on-duty soldier every one hundred steps within the Swift Dragon base. It looked like the Swift Dragon base was extremely strict in terms of manning the defences.
