Chapter 416 The Last Line of Defense
He Kui left Setona at the Waste Merchants Guild and walked out quickly.

"Where's the girl?"

"With them."

After hearing what He Kui said, neither of them asked any further questions. After all, compared to this matter, there was something more serious happening now.

"Currently the control programs for the escape pod and the gate have been locked."

Tiebi said this, and both of them looked at He Kui.

If there was anyone on the scene who could overwrite the program, it would only be He Kui.

"It's too late. We landed directly in the colony via jetpack."

"Can we contact the National Defense Committee?"

"Communications are being disrupted by a neutron jammer."

At this time Tiebi gritted his teeth and said, "That's right. After all, no one would feel good to be attacked by others using their own inventions."

"But if they sense interference, they will definitely send reinforcements."

However, He Kui's expression did not relax much after hearing this.

Although it was just He Kui's guess that they had an aircraft equipped with the Mirage System.

But he was cautious and didn't want to gamble his life on such a possibility.

In my memory, they also used the mirage to float to the armory and steal the Gundam.

No matter what the situation is, the most reassuring thing is to find a liberator.

"May City might be the target, I can't leave now!"

"May City is heavily guarded, they can resist."

Lika said hurriedly.

Although Lika and Tiebi did not think of the nuclear bomb, they understood that May City might be the target.

According to their duties, what they should do is to prioritize protecting He Kui's life.

Now, the safest thing to do is to retreat.

"How can you be sure that they don't have any MS outside? If there were any MS, May City wouldn't be able to resist no matter how well it defended."

Hearing He Kui's words, they were both stunned, and at the same time, a chill surged from the soles of their feet all the way up to the top of their heads.

If they really have MS here, then every one of their colonies will be like meat on the chopping board.

One nuclear bomb would kill 240,000 of them.

"impossible?"

Rika murmured.

"Don't we already have all the mass accelerators under control?"

“Never say never.”

He Kui shook his head and continued.

"How many of us are here?"

"The entire team is currently scattered around to guard the area. Including the two of us, there are twelve people in total. We are the elite reds, and the remaining four are reds and six are elite greens, all fully armed."

Hearing Tiebi's answer, He Kui immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's enough. Let's get started. We'll use the jetpacks at the emergency safety device to fly directly to the design bureau."

Before He Kui could finish his words, the entire port was shaken violently again.

Through the bird flying outside, He Kui clearly saw something unnatural, and soon after that, the radar he installed on the bird also began to sound the alarm.

Some MSs with Mirage activated have already begun invading through the gap in the port.

"Hurry up, they may have MS coming in."

Without explaining how, He Kui had already taken out three sets of temporary jet equipment and oxygen equipment from the emergency safety assurance device next to the Waste Merchants Union.

These emergency safety devices were deployed throughout the port. Following He Kui's order, everyone put on the emergency escape equipment at the same time.

"If a MS really gets in, then we can do it."

Lika clenched her hands tightly.

Even if he's an Adjuster, he can't possibly attack a Mobile Suit with his physical body.

"The design bureau has quantum firewalls and PS armor protection. They won't be able to break through it so quickly."

He Kui said directly. "Let's do it this way!"

Tiebi stopped Lika from continuing.

With so many lives at stake, this is no longer the time to follow orders.

Thinking of this, Tiebi saluted He Kui with extraordinary solemnity.

"We will leave everything to Director He for command."

This is his job title. Since Tiebi said so, it means that he has temporarily taken command of the entire team.

Lika, who was standing by, saw this and stopped talking, but also saluted He Kui.

There was deep admiration in the eyes of both of them at this moment.

In this situation, instead of just trying to save yourself, you should risk your life for the sake of the PLANT.

He Kui, at this moment, has rightfully become the patron saint in the eyes of the media and the citizens of May.

Of course, the two of them didn't know that although He Kui made this decision for emotional reasons, he would not die if it was really impossible.

He would only take the risk to save his own life, and if they lost several colonies in succession, or even lost Lacus, the entire ZAFT would definitely go crazy.

There's a good chance Genesis will launch anyway.

No one will survive then.

"Then the battle officially begins."

Just as the people above finalized the battle plan, there was a continuous fire in the design bureau.

"Are they crazy? Where did all these spies come from?!"

Soldiers from the design bureau's security department were defending the bureau with makeshift barricades.

They were so suppressed by the terrorists on the opposite side that they could only passively defend.

"Where's the support?"

"Not sure. Our communications are being disrupted by the neutron jammer."

The signalman said through gritted teeth.

"As long as they detect the interference, they will definitely attack. They don't have MS, so they will attack in a short time."

Before the team leader could say anything, the entire team had been pierced by the pale green beam of light. All that was left was a charred circular hole with a few strands of heated blood emitting a dark red light splattering out.

"They have MS!"

The team at the innermost part of the defense line also saw the tragic situation outside.

Countless guards were being slaughtered by that pitch-black MS, and wherever the green beam went was like purgatory.

"Captain, Design Bureau Area A has been captured!"

"How long will it take until the design bureau's PS protective layer is activated?"

"It will take another minute for the backup power supply to reconnect the lines!"

"Where are the researchers?"

"We have all entered the shelter, but what if we are attacked by MS?"

"Stop them before the PS Armor activates! Gather all the RPGs."

The captain gritted his teeth and said.

"We are the last line of defense! Behind us are the most advanced scientific and technological achievements of the entire PLANT and the lives of countless researchers. If we take a step back, we will fall into an abyss. Our sacrifice will not be the end!"

"For ZAFT! For PLANT!"

"team leader!"

Only under the leadership of this remaining commander, the already low morale was restored.

Although the RPG could not cause effective damage to the machine in front of him, the powerful impact force could still slow down the time of his attack.

"N1! Attack the design bureau immediately! This is an order!"

The commander said dissatisfiedly as he looked at the Thunder Dagger that was still slaughtering those Adjusters who posed no threat to No. 4 at all.

"We can attack more safely after clearing out the enemy~"

The driver's tone was frivolous at this time, and he was obviously enjoying the pleasure of killing.
