Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 213 Army of the Living Dead

The anti-aircraft turrets scattered on the outer wall of the Abava Satellite Fortress quickly rotated the angle of the muzzle, pulling out an extremely dense air defense firepower network, controlling the airspace of the final defense circle of the Abava Satellite Fortress. Hold it firmly in your hand.

"Ardesia. No need to go too deep."

The Stamen Gundam, which broke into Area E in the form of a fighter plane, pulled up the nose of the aircraft and began to climb amidst He Ming's voice.

The same goes for the SV52 that followed.

The mission this time is not to attack the enemy, but to conduct fire reconnaissance.

With the speed of the two transforming fighters, this fire reconnaissance mission was not difficult.

As long as the executors don't be too aggressive.

Fortunately, He Ming had no intention of rushing into the Abavakong Satellite Fortress, and Artesia directly followed He Ming's instructions.

But even if they don't want to go too deep into Area E, or even face the final air defense network of the Abawa Satellite Fortress, the enemies that should appear will still appear.

An electric shock-like feeling instantly exploded in the minds of He Ming and Aldesia.

"Lieutenant Colonel."

Artesia frowned slightly and looked at He Ming on the communication screen.

"Yes. They are here."

He Ming nodded, turned his head and looked in the direction where the strange feeling came from.

"No abnormal contamination data detected. 』

The current situation can be imagined.

The strangeness that He Ming and Artesia could feel was not the intelligent AI cube, or even the pollution that Velos could detect.

Or the contamination may have been artificially diluted.

"Ardesia. Be careful! The enemy is coming."

"understand!"

In the air defense fire network that filled the sky, a hole gradually appeared.

Two MS troops flew out of the opening and flew quickly towards the location of Stamen Gundam and SV52.

Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of He Ming and Artesia.

"Zaku? No. Not Zaku."

Artesia was confused for a moment, and then noticed the clue.

The opponent's maneuvers in space completely exceeded Artesia's impression of Zaku.

flexible.

As flexible as human action.

It seemed that the Zaku that appeared in front of Artesia was not a mechanical creation, but a human being wearing Zaku's skin.

"Be careful! Artesia. The team on the right is mine."

He Ming also noticed the abnormality.

But no matter how much doubt you have, it can't be as satisfying as just starting the fight.

No matter how much the other party hides, as long as there is a fight, there will always be a moment when it is exposed.

"Yes! The team on the left is mine."

As soon as the two of them joined together, they immediately drove their bodies to separate left and right, quickly widening the distance and attracting the target.

As the Stamen Gundam and SV52 separated, the two attacking MS units dispersed.

"Team [-], that white machine is mine."

"Understood! Then, the black one is mine." These Zaku are all gray-black as the main body, with light gold outlines on the edges of the shoulder armor, and a decayed skeleton as a logo.

Legion of the Living Dead.

This is the legion formed under the personal order of Kilian Zabi, and it is also the legion to which Daryl Lorenz, the first publicly recognized new human being in Zeon history, belongs.

In this legion, most people exist as verifiers of certain technologies.

The limbs and eyes they lost in the war have now become the key to their ability to easily control the machine.

When the mechanical connection mechanism protruding from the back of the cockpit connects with the mechanical prosthetic eyes, Zaku's eyes suddenly become the pilot's eyes. Everything Zaku sees can be directly projected into the pilot's mind. Among them, the data is no longer converted and projected onto the display screen of the cockpit.

However, the hands and feet as mechanical prostheses were directly unfolded, revealing the body wrapped in artificial skin and artificial muscles. Through direct insertion, the power to directly control Zaku was obtained.

Under the influence of these powers, these Zaku have become the mechanical incarnations of the Legion of the Living Dead.

The pilots of the Legion of the Living Dead no longer need to hold the joystick. They can easily control Zaku to fight with just a thought.

"attack!"

This is not.

Driven by the thought of constantly accelerating and chasing the enemy, the Zaku team of the living dead army chasing the Stamen Gundam quickly bit the Stamen Gundam, and launched a decisive attack the moment they entered the optimal attack distance.

The fire of the 100MM machine gun suddenly tore through the darkness.

Three chains of uncertain light and shade of fire burst out from the six o'clock direction behind the Stamen Gundam.

He Ming pulled the joystick with his right hand and stepped on his feet alternately. The Stamen Gundam immediately raised its nose, almost turning somersaults, to avoid this wave of attacks, and even at the same time, it attacked this army of the living dead. The Zaku team was let go.

Immediately afterwards, He Ming did not let the Stamen Gundam transform from fighter plane to humanoid form, but continued to speed up and fly downward with the engine at full speed.

"So fast!"

This is not an excuse to avoid fighting.

It is the trap of the Zaku team of the living dead army.

When the Stamen Gundam somersaulted away from the attack of the Zaku Squad of the Living Dead Legion, the squad immediately changed their tactics.

All it takes is the Stamen Gundam to attack the Zaku team with its back exposed, and then this Zaku team will definitely give He Ming a big surprise with its system that is almost integrated with Zaku.

However, He Ming did not step into this trap.

Instead, they decisively evacuated.

"Captain. The enemy doesn't fall for the trap."

The team members were very surprised.

As a member of the reborn Legion of the Living Dead, when he gained the ability to control mobile suits again, he had conducted many simulated confrontation trainings with the elite pilots of the Zeon Army.

At first, even the battle-hardened Zeon veterans were bewildered by the actions of these former cripples, and were defeated in one fell swoop.

"It's a bit difficult! Let's chase!"

Captain Zaku of the Legion of the Living Dead immediately issued the order.

"Adino. Is the data collected?"

After feeling another pursuit behind him, He Ming looked at his intelligent AI cube.

"There is a lack of data and it is impossible to build a calculation model in a short time. 』

The smart AI cube Adino paused.

"But based on the data currently observed, the mobility of the Zaku we are facing now far exceeds the mobility of the Zaku we encountered during the battles of Granada and Odsa.It is very likely that the body has undergone some targeted improvements.Master, please be careful! 』

"understand!"

The attack struck again. While rolling lightly, the Stamen Gundam suddenly pulled up, once again trying to fly over the enemy and forcefully seize the right to attack.
