Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 216 Zeon’s reformer?

"Has the real owner come on stage?"

The smart AI cube Adino puts the number of fleets that appear on the screen.

There are 10 Musai-class light cruisers, and the mobile suits accompanying the operation include 30 Zaku and three Daemons.

This formation seems to be used to welcome the spiritual force Zaku.

Amidst the overwhelming artillery fire, Mental Zaku seemed to have given up on the idea of ​​fighting the Stamen Gundam, and gradually retreated to join the approaching fleet.

"Captain Daryl. The commander-in-chief orders you to return to Abavakong immediately. There are new combat orders issued."

As soon as the spiritual Zaku joined the fleet, a Zaku stepped forward and put his hand on the arm of the spiritual Zaku, and the order from Kilian Zabi sounded.

"Commander? I understand."

Daryl Lorenz, who was determined to continue chasing the Stamen Gundam, finally chose to give up in the face of the order.

No matter what he was thinking at the moment, the only thing he knew was that the person who made him a "new human being" was Kilian Zabi.

Kilian Zabi's order is the highest priority in Daryl Lorenz's heart.

The retreat of Zaku's spiritual power made He Ming lose the meaning of continuing to fight.

Looking at the slowly approaching fleet, the Stamen Gundam driven by He Ming quickly turned around, transformed into a fighter plane, and accelerated towards the area where Artesia was.

While the Stamen Gundam fought against the Psychic Gundam, Artesia also achieved a lot of results.

Two were recorded as shot down and one was recorded as damaged. The remaining Zaku also turned around and fled back towards Abavakong at the moment Abavakong's warship appeared.

Artesia, who had won the victory, did not pursue, but carefully controlled Zaku, who was injured and lost the ability to move.

"Artesia. The enemy fleet has appeared. We are leaving."

As soon as Stamen Gundam approached, He Ming's voice came.

"clear."

Artesia changed her movements, keeping SV52 in human form, grabbing the incapacitated Zaku with both hands, and speeding away.

"There are some things that need to be verified."

Artesia seemed to be afraid that He Ming would investigate why she would drag this burden with her to evacuate, so she quickly explained.

He Ming didn't care.

What He Ming felt and noticed just now was probably also noticed by Artesia.

Although here, Zaku, the spiritual force that should be captured the most, has already withdrawn to Abavakong under the cover of Abavakong fleet.

But these seemingly ordinary Zaku should be able to discern some clues.

"I'll take cover! Speed ​​up the evacuation!"

"Yes!"

This temptation ends here.

With the evacuation of He Ming and Artesia, area E returned to peace.

However, the fleet that arrived belatedly was just like the one in Area N. As soon as it arrived, it immediately took control of the entire area and no longer looked like it was full of loopholes before.

The mobile fleet that recovered the Stamen Gundam and SV52 was greatly confused.

"Is this the new machine you discovered, Lieutenant Colonel?"

After hearing what He Ming and Artesia had discovered in Area E, Ray Bill and Stewart immediately came to the Gnaku and looked at Zaku's remains, which were surrounded by maintenance squads and were about to violently dismantle the cockpit.

"Yeah. There are some situations."

Although He Ming and Artesia firmly believed that there must be something inside this Zaku that the Earth Federation didn't know about.

But if Ray Bill gets serious and He Ming wants to provide a concrete explanation, He Ming will have to scratch his head to think of the reasons.Ray Bill nodded without delving into the reason.

In fact, before and after the Battle of Odsa, Rebir personally stood up for the theory of the New Humanity, and even defined the White Fortress as the gathering force of the New Humanity.

And now, the Gray Ghost is on Ray Bill's side, and the same is true.

However, Ray Bill did not make any announcement, nor did he let the Gray Ghost appear on the stage like the White Fortress.

Under the gaze of everyone, the maintenance team wearing protective clothing was divided into several teams, each operating the cutting machine, and began to dismantle Zaku's remains.

As the sparks flew, the cockpit cover on the remaining body suddenly sank.

The maintenance team member holding the cutting machine immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

At this moment, the eyes of He Ming, Artesia, Ray Bill, and Stewart all fell on the cockpit hatch that was lifted up by the maintenance team.

The next second, a cry of surprise rang out in Gnaku.

It was the voice of the maintenance team member who was looking into the cockpit with a flashlight after the cockpit hatch was lifted.

"General, Captain! There's a situation!!"

The members of the maintenance squad seemed a little panicked and waved repeatedly towards where He Ming and Ray Bill were.

Although He Ming could not clearly see the face of the training class member under the isolation of the mask, He Ming could clearly feel the fear of the training class member at the level of brain waves.

"General, Captain, wait a moment. Let me go up and take a look at the situation."

Before Ray Bill and Stewart could get up, He Ming raised his hand to support the railing, jumped up, and flew towards the Zaku wreckage with the help of the microgravity environment.

Artesia first saluted Ray Bill and Stuart, then turned around and followed He Ming, flying towards the Zaku wreckage.

"Lieutenant colonel. Protective suit."

The members of the maintenance team who noticed He Ming flying towards the Zaku wreckage quickly picked up two sets of protective suits and chased after him.

"Do not."

He Ming waved his hand and thanked him.

"That's no longer necessary, Sergeant. Thank you very much!"

He Ming landed gently on the Zaku wreckage, followed the road that everyone had given way to, and came to the edge of the opened cockpit.

The moment he moved his eyes, He Ming saw a figure wearing a Zeon pilot uniform.

And, after being stretched by a large number of mechanisms, the pair of "hands" reveal the inner wiring, connect the plugs, and integrate with the control panel of the cockpit.

At this moment, He Ming was confirmed.

During this trial, the Zaku encountered, and even the source of the spiritual Zaku, were related technologies from the Thunder Universe, or even new technologies born based on this technology through continuous iteration.

"Lieutenant Colonel. Did you find anything?"

Ray Bill did not stand there and wait calmly, but after seeing He Ming standing on the edge of the cockpit lost in thought, he and Stewart landed on the Zaku wreckage.

"Yes. General. There are indeed some discoveries."

He Ming nodded.

"Next, the enemy we face may be more difficult than we expected."

Under the guidance of He Ming, Ray Bill saw the corpse in the cockpit whose arms had been integrated with the operating panel.

That horrifying scene made Rebel, a battle-hardened general, feel a chill.

"The Zeon MS troops we will face next may be driven by these modified humans."
