Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 3
Time flies.

When Lin Mingmei woke up from her sleep, she found that He Ming seemed to be preparing something.

Lin Mingmei blinked curiously. After unzipping the sleeping bag, she lightly tapped her right foot, and her whole body flew up from the sleeping bag lightly.

During this period, Lin Mingmei saw He Ming for the first time when she woke up from an injury. From unfamiliarity to familiarity, to He Ming's careful care and powerful survival skills, her understanding of He Ming was constantly refreshed. the impression of fame.

It was precisely because of He Ming's existence that Lin Mingmei was able to survive in this dark "isolated island".

Under He Ming's careful care, the weakness after the injury gradually subsided from Lin Mingmei's body, and she felt the vitality bursting out of her body again, and Lin Mingmei gradually became active.

The powerful survival skills possessed by He Ming are not what an ordinary civilian should possess.

At first, Lin Mingmei didn't think about it because of her injury and weakness. But after she adapted to the dark, yet far more leisurely and comfortable life than the busy past, countless questions and doubts began to arise. It emerged from the depths of Lin Mingmei's heart.

"What's your name? What are you doing?"

"Yeah. Get ready to leave here."

He Ming packed some clothes and other items that might be used and put them aside.

"leave?"

Lin Mingmei didn't react at first, but soon her eyes lit up.

"You, you mean we can leave here?"

He Ming nodded.

"Think about it, it's time. Maybe it was due to the damage suffered during the battle. MACROSS could only gradually clean up the ruins and restart many modules and areas that were damaged during the battle. So, calculating the time, it's probably It should also be the turn of this area where we are now.”

He Ming naturally would not tell the real reason.

As someone who comes from another dimension of earth and is familiar with the historical direction of this world, He Ming is almost certain of MACROSS's next actions.

"Really? That would be really great!!"

Lin Mingmei clapped her hands happily.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in a gravity-free environment, Lin Mingmei might have turned around a few times to show how happy she was now.

"Ah."

He Ming smiled and continued to clean up the items collected during this period.

Next, no matter what happens, He Ming must be prepared to deal with various situations.

The good thing is that there is no need to use these preparations.

As for the bad side, He Ming's eyes unconsciously drifted to the distance, to the wreckage of the damaged VF-1.

Although the VF-1 had been damaged, the investigators who could predict MACROSS from the wreckage found the clues they wanted from the aircraft body.

【Dynamic event update!Action goal: Try to become a member of the United Army, protect and assist SDF-1 to break out of the Geraldi alien encirclement and return to Earth. 】

"Is this considered a rainy day plan?"

Hearing the drifting and cold voice again, He Ming couldn't help but sigh.

While thinking, a warm breath floated over.

"What are you thinking about? What's your name?"

Lin Mingmei seemed to be very close.

He Ming's mind almost at the same time sketched out the appearance of Lin Mingmei's eyes full of exploratory light.

"Thinking about what happens after we get out."

In this regard, He Ming has nothing to hide.

"What happens after we get out!"

Lin Mingmei stretched out her finger, tapped her chin, and smiled.

"After I go out, I'm afraid I will continue the concert under the arrangements of my cousin!"

Speaking of her cousin, Lin Mingmei couldn't help but reveal a hint of sadness.

"I wonder how my cousin is doing?"

"It should be fine."

He Ming responded casually.

As Lin Mingmei's cousin, that guy seems to have very strong vitality.

"Really? That's really good."

Lin Mingmei said happily.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mingmei quietly took He Ming's right arm.

"By the way. After you go out, will you join the United Army?"

"Ok?"

He Ming couldn't help but glance at Lin Mingmei.

This girl seems to be sure that he will become a member of the United Army.

"Look! Your survival skills are so powerful! You were able to fly that fighter plane to fight aliens, and you even saved me during the battle. I'm afraid such a powerful person can't be an ordinary person, right?"

When Lin Mingmei finished speaking, she couldn't help but smile, and there seemed to be a glimmer of pride in her eyes.

"If I said that before you boarded this MACROSS, you were a cadet from a certain military academy, would that be the correct answer?"

He Ming was stunned for a moment, but then turned away to prevent Lin Mingmei from seeing his expression.

He couldn't help but secretly thought.

"How come this girl guessed the truth right all of a sudden?"

Such a smart Lin Mingmei is not the Lin Mingmei in He Ming's memory!

"What? Did I guess it right?"

Seeing He Ming turn away, Lin Mingmei's eyes shone with surprise.

Perhaps, at this moment, Lin Mingmei had gotten the answer she wanted.

However, He Ming did not respond to this question.

But He Ming was also destined to face Lin Mingmei's next offensive.

The warm breath keeps approaching,

The warm and soft touch from his arm made He Ming's brows jump wildly.

This girl, why are you pressing me so hard?

He Ming tried to break away, but found that Lin Mingmei was holding his arm tightly.

"He Ming, are you really a cadet from a certain military academy?"

He Ming turned around and saw Lin Mingmei's cunning eyes.

"you……"

The breath keeps approaching,

The figures of the two people also slowly rotated in this weightless environment.

until,

A roar came from the distance.

The area that had not been illuminated by light for a long time was once again favored by light.

At the same time, there was a burst of noise and chaotic footsteps followed.

"Wait. Someone is coming!"

He Ming woke up from the warm and touching breath and gently pushed Lin Mingmei away.

The girl's face was so red, like a ripe red apple. "You haven't answered my question yet!!"

He Ming's eyes flickered for a while, and finally he sighed and nodded silently.

Seeing this, Lin Mingmei's eyes became very bright.

The warm breath came again.

However, this time, the breath was gently tapping He Ming's ears.

"From now on, just call me by my name! He Ming."

After saying that, Lin Mingmei took advantage of He Ming's lack of reaction and gently tapped He Ming's side face, as light as a dragonfly touching water.

The footsteps from the distance were getting closer, and someone could vaguely hear someone calling Lin Mingmei's name in the noise.

The two felt a force gently pulling them down towards the ground below.

Overhead now was the dark area where they had lived together for some time.

At your feet is an area that is once again favored by light, buzzing with people, and visited by civilization again.

"It's agreed! We will meet again after we go out!"

"Ah."

The moment the light of the flash engulfed Lin Mingmei, He Ming was also stopped by several men in suits.

After showing his ID to He Ming, the other party made the expected invitation.

"Sir, please come with us!"

He Ming nodded, looked back at the reporters who were rushing over after hearing the news, and Lin Mingmei, who was surrounded by a crowd, then followed the investigators and boarded the car heading to the MACROSS central area.

At the same time, there was a commotion in the hospital.

"Captain Seryev. Your body has not yet recovered to the point where you can move! Please go back to the hospital bed and have a good rest!"

The nurse who had been chasing him all the way out of the ward stopped in front of Seryev with an anxious look on his face.

"Get out of the way! I have something to do now!"

Seryev took a breath and said firmly.

However, both sides knew that the other would not give in.

"Captain Seryev! If you want to go out, please submit an application with the doctor and wait for the news!"

The nurse gritted her teeth and still stopped in front of Seryev.

Although Seryev is tall, the petite nurse is not intimidated by this.

Seryev frowned, feeling troubled for a moment.

"Let him go, fair lady."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, making both parties sigh in relief.

"Roy! Why are you here?!"

Seryev looked at his friend who suddenly appeared in surprise.

Roy laughed, raised his right hand and shook it, then looked at Seryev's bright eyes.

"The application for traveling has been approved! Besides, you have a mission. Can your body still bear it?"

Hearing this, Seryev grinned, raised his hand, and wanted to pat his chest to make a promise, but unexpectedly the wound was pulled, causing his face to twist in pain and making him gasp.

"No, no problem!!"

Seryev said through gritted teeth.

This little pain?

What does it count?
The men of the Jevich family are no cowards! !

Roy shrugged his shoulders and looked at the nurse.

"The application has been approved. Does this big guy need to prepare anything for going out?"

The nurse nodded repeatedly, and after giving instructions, decisively turned around to prepare for Seryev's departure.

It seems that Seryev will not have an easy performance this time.

As a friend for many years, Roy knew that Seryev would not care about this.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Roy looked at the big man being carefully put into the car by the nurses. After making fun of him, he put on a businesslike expression.

"The matter has been investigated over there. As an ordinary citizen, you can fly the United Army's cutting-edge fighter jets and participate in battles without permission. This is already a violation of the United Army's confidentiality regulations and other related regulations."

Seryev's mouth moved, but he didn't speak.

He knew Roy just as Roy knew him.

He knew that the guy sitting across from him who was laughing at him just now must have something to say.

Roy seemed a little surprised when Seryev didn't jump out in a hurry.

"Ahem. However, in view of the fact that the boy still drove the VF-1 to provide strong support to the Second Defense Force even when the machine malfunctioned, and in the subsequent actions, there were many factors that would save Lin Mingmei, MACROSS The authorities decided to abandon prosecution of He Ming for violating confidentiality regulations and issued a wartime call-up order to He Ming."

After Roy finished speaking, Seryev, who looked calm, slowly exhaled.

"It's a happy ending. Isn't it?"

Roy glanced at the guy huddled in his seat.

"Isn't that what you planned from the beginning?"

"Who knows! I've never seen the guy who secretly took away my fighter plane."

Seryev grinned, looking like a rogue who said, "I'm not, I don't understand, I don't know."

Roy was already used to this.

"The boy was not brought to the captain now! Instead, he was taken to a place. And you also know that place."

"Oh? Where is it?"

Seryev seemed to notice something.

"Alexey Kuragin's laboratory."

"what?"

Seryev was stunned.

"Kurakin?!"

"Wait! Does the captain want that guy to..."

Roy nodded and sighed.

"Now, the combat readiness rate of VF-1 on SDF-1 is very tight. Therefore, even if a wartime call-up order can be issued, I am afraid there will not be any spare VF-1 for deployment."

"So, the captain has his mind set on Kuragin?"

Seryev laughed, glanced at Roy and said.

"How would you feel if Kurakin's SV51 really became your teammate?"

SV51.

This is a name that has been around for a long time, but not too long ago.

A year ago, during the battle that took place over the island, Roy participated in that battle as a member of the United Army.

The SV51, in that battle, was the transformable fighter piloted by Roy's enemy. It was a cutting-edge transformable fighter belonging to the anti-unification forces.

"SV51, just SV51. The person sitting in it is not DD-Ivanov, but our new team member."

"Hey! That's quite nice to say."
