Chapter 208: Damaged Victoria

"Is it true that there is data for a new machine in there?"

Jason sighed after listening to what He Kui said behind the heavy table.

"Yes, and because the reconnaissance equipment on that Baku itself is quite advanced, it has basically recorded most of the power data of the machine."

"What mission is the Baku team expected to perform?"

He Kui asked.

"It's okay to tell you now. Our special operations team went to the desert on the edge of South Africa because we received intelligence from spies that a new machine had appeared nearby."

"It was almost an uninhabited area over there, but we ran into it. However, the result was not as smooth as the operation on Heliopolis."

“But it doesn’t look like it’s going well at the moment.”

Jason said helplessly.

According to their expectations, it should be the same as when they were in Heliopolis.

Directly capture the opponent's body.

"After all, the Earth Federation has already achieved mass production of MS."

"What? Is what Director He said true?"

"Really? Even though its performance isn't that great, it's still a serious mobile suit."

Andrew confirmed.

“Has it finally come to this?”

"I'm afraid that enhanced operations will also be affected."

Jason smiled bitterly.

"Yes, it would be fine if there were strategic weapons, otherwise."

Andrew, like Jason, is a veteran and knows very well that even if MS is weaker than them.

But with their numerical advantage, their defeat was only a matter of time.

In the silence between the two, He Kui whispered, "If the enemy is limited to the Atlantic Federation, we still have a chance."

Of course, this is a bit of a presumption.

At least the Eurasian Federation is still chasing them.

"Anyway, I'll submit the report, and Sarah will decide the rest."

He Kui and Andrew nodded when they heard this. There was no point in worrying here.

"But why did Courtney follow along?"

He Kui suddenly asked.

After all, according to the organizational structure, Courtney should be his subordinate.

We should have returned to PLANT by now.

"You also know that we are short of manpower, especially after all the members of Baku's team were killed in the battle. We have no personnel to replace them for the time being. At this time, we just happen to have a machine and an elite pilot."

Jason was a little embarrassed as he spoke, as it was obvious that he had not been temporarily called up by his superiors to take over Courtney and the aircraft.

"We originally wanted to temporarily requisition that aircraft, but the test pilot said that others might not be able to get used to the operation of that test aircraft."

"That's right."

Kira can kill everyone as soon as he takes action, but not everyone is Kira.

Courtney also drove the simulator for a long time before she actually operated the machine.

"We will give the Design Bureau an explanation after we return."

"No, it can be considered as saving us."

He Kui bowed and said.

The reason he said this was because he was worried that the special forces would directly requisition their machines like this every time.

This is indeed an emergency, but this is a precedent that may lead to more.

It was requisitioned halfway through testing, which could have caused the data of the aircraft to be leaked. After all, it was an aircraft that had not completed the final test. If something went wrong on the battlefield, it would be unclear who was responsible.

After the three of them finished talking, the Lesseps also headed towards Victoria Harbour.

After settling into the officer's room with the thermostat turned on, He Kui didn't have the energy to do anything.

The two of them just washed off the sand and then lay on the bed to be affectionate with each other.

"It's still a little dangerous this time."

Shihe hugged He Kui tightly. She had not felt this kind of fear since He Kui went on his first expedition in a reconnaissance plane.

He Kui had always acted under the premise of absolute safety, so much so that she had forgotten it.

They are all human beings, and if they take one wrong step, death will await them.

"Aren't you fine now?"

He Kui gently stroked Shihe's back to comfort her.

This time he was indeed relaxed. He had just solved a difficult problem with Aegis, which made him feel a little proud.

And perhaps it was because Aegis had used it too much that he no longer considered his own life as a life.

This is something he needs to reflect deeply on.

At least it will be safer to wait for the main force to act together in the future.

No matter how elite the other side is, they are helpless against their large number of people.

Of course, except for Kira who sat free.

Who can withstand being able to blow up more than a dozen MSs in a few minutes?

"Let's not take such risks in the future." "Yeah."

When Shihe heard He Kui agree, she smiled peacefully and then touched her flat belly with her hand.

"When do you think we can have a child?"

The fertility rate of the second generation of adjusters is already ridiculously low. Although He Kui is considered to be of the first generation, it is still difficult for the two of them to have children.

Not to mention him and Su Lei, the lack of a match was ridiculously low.

But it is not impossible to change. Cosmic adaptability is a possibility, and genetic technology and nanorobots are also a possibility.

"Don't think too much, it will happen."

"Besides, Shihe is still young now."

He Kui's hand covered Shihe's hand which was placed on his belly.

The deep voice whispered in Shihe's ear.

Although the adjuster was precocious, He Kui and Shi He were only sixteen years old at that time.

"We still have time."

"Ok!"

Shihe smiled sweetly.

At the full speed of Lesserbus.

It was only in the early hours of the morning that they arrived at Victoria Harbour.

This was not the first time He Kui came here, but looking at the surrounding scenery which was different from Gibraltar and the desert, he took a relaxed breath and then walked outside with Jason and Andrew.

The air in the port was filled with gunpowder smoke and the smell of burning.

Many large trucks were transporting truckloads of fighter plane and MS parts to the scrap area.

There were not only Sky Tyrant and Vanguard fighters in there, but even some remnants of the Dagger were in there,
If nothing unexpected happened, they had already clashed with the daggers, and there was a faint red glow still shining in the sky not far away.

However, because this place is located in the innermost part of the base, right near the mass accelerator, it did not suffer much damage.

Just as she stood firm, Victoria's staff officer's eyes, which had been full of fatigue, brightened up when she saw the three people, and she walked towards them at a faster pace.

The fat on my belly was shaking.

Originally, the adjuster's physique would be neither too fat nor too thin.

Of course there are exceptions to everything, just like Rika is blind.

Their genetic technology is not yet fully mature and has significant flaws.

If genetic technology evolves, perhaps the regulators will also evolve.

But this is impossible at least for now.

"Director He, Captain Andrew, you don't know how anxious we were after we couldn't find any trace of you. I even sent three teams to search along the way. Fortunately, you are back."

Victoria's staff officer said thankfully.

"Thank you. Have you found the two pilots? They must have jumped out of the plane at that time."

He Kui followed Andrew, shook hands with him and then asked.

"not yet."

The staff officer shook his head.

"But we will try our best to search."

"It's troublesome."

“Is the damage to Victoria Harbour serious?”

He Kui asked after looking around the base.

"Only 43% of the outer building remains intact."

The staff officer sighed.

"The attack by the naturals this time was too fierce. Plus, the alliance also has a new type of mobile suit. If our Gates hadn't been installed, I'm afraid the entire base would be in danger."

"What about the mass accelerator?"

Andrew took over and asked the staff officer.

"There is no damage. We have sent people to guard it 24 hours a day."

"The first batch of supplies is almost here, but right now the moon happens to be near us, so the supply troops are delayed."

"The moon base is also attacking us?"

"Yes."

The staff officer nodded helplessly.

I thought I would be safe once I arrived in Victoria, but it seems that is not necessarily the case now.

"Speaking of which, Director He is here to help us strengthen our defenses."

"I can direct the maintenance work."

There wouldn't be any big problems if I just commanded from the rear.

Although it's a bit tiring to work non-stop.

However, He Kui's physical condition has improved a lot and he can still hold on.

At least this work still needs to be completed.

"Then I'll trouble you, Director He."
