Chapter 436: A New Life at a Painful Price
While the uncles were talking, the soldiers around them also noticed the two of them.
"Aegis and Elena are still alive!"
I don’t know who started it first, but I saw many soldiers at the scene bowing deeply to them.
The scene was solemn for a moment, and He Kui could clearly see that Elena's parents were among them.
"Welcome back!"
The unanimous words echoed in the empty secret port for a long time.
"Thank you."
He Kui opened his mouth slightly, and finally nodded, indicating that he accepted it.
On the other side, Elena's face was already covered with tears again.
It's not just because my parents are fine, but also because of my current comrades.
He Kui breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
If Elena's parents were not dead, there would be a high probability that Elena would not turn evil.
Although for ordinary people, turning evil won't change the battle situation much.
But selfishly, He Kui didn't want Elena to indulge in hatred.
But saying anything at this time would only backfire.
So He Kui just manipulated Aegis to step forward and hold the girl's hand.
The robotic hand, which had no heating function, was a little cold, but it opened Elena's clenched fist.
Without further delay, the group walked all the way to the deepest part of the base.
“How’s the president doing?”
On the way, Edward first asked the guards in front.
".Not very good, you will know the details when you go in."
Hearing this question, the big man's dark face seemed to turn pale.
"it is good."
After hearing this answer, everyone present fell silent.
Soon, after the guards opened the door, the scene He Kui saw was much worse than he had imagined.
In the room filled with the smell of formaldehyde, the president's lower body was soaked in a treatment chamber imported from PLANT.
Both legs and one arm were long gone, and although the wounds had been treated, there were still faint traces of blood floating in the treatment chamber like blood snakes.
"Surprised?"
The president waved at them with his only remaining hand.
It's magical, although the other party should be in pain at this moment, his face still remains solemn.
"president!"
As former South American soldiers, Edward and Elena were truly horrified at this moment.
"I'm fine. The doctor said I have a few years to live."
As the president spoke, he looked at He Kui.
"Thank you Aegis for this time."
"But we are out of money again recently."
"It's okay. This is my way of repaying you for taking care of me."
Seeing the shrewd old man in front of him become like this, He Kui shook his head.
Hearing He Kui's words, the president slightly raised the corners of his mouth. He was not laughing, but he was not as serious as before.
"Because of the defense minister's betrayal, our current base is not safe. I plan to move the battle line to Brazil."
"Thanks to Edward's previous efforts, Brazil can barely be used as our territory. We have also moved many factory production lines and manufactured MS there. The next step is to slowly organize our forces."
"Then, Edward, I would like you to become the commander-in-chief of our troops."
"This"
After hearing the president's words, Edward's face showed a little more hesitation.
The commander-in-chief of the entire army took over the position of the defense minister.
This is a serious matter, and he can't say he has done it 100% well.
"It's just a request from an old man like me."
"No, don't say that. I agree."
Edward smiled bitterly and then nodded quickly.
"Thank you."
The president gave Edward an encouraging smile.
"And Aegis, can you estimate how long it will take them to repair the mass accelerator?"
"About two months."
Although it was only two months, the Genesis in the sky had already been created at that time.
And I believe that because of this matter, PLANT will not give up South America so easily.
It can also be regarded as a guarantee for their future in South America.
"Two months? I see."
They would not move until it was fixed, and after that, they had already established themselves in Brazil and beyond.
This battle was equivalent to them giving up Panama at a terrible price. ZAFT would not blame them and would even appease them.
And they also temporarily lost the mass accelerator they had always coveted.
Without such great power, no one will care about them.
But this indifference is also a kind of protection for small countries.
Because there is no benefit in continuing to bully them, so they are safe.
He Kui didn't know whether it was a calculation, or he just went with the flow, or he was powerless.
This one also paid his price.
"Will Aegis come with us to Brazil?"
"Ok."
There is no other place for this robot to go, so just exit control and use parts to upgrade the AI unit. It would also be a good idea to use it to protect Elena.
"Ah."
The president nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Elena behind Aegis.
"Then Elena, I will promote you to captain. I hope you can grow into a strong supporter of our country in the days to come."
"I will live up to your expectations!"
A light flashed in Elena's eyes, excitement and determination lingered in her heart, and her chest stood straight.
Since the matter has come to an end, He Kui also withdrew from the communication at this time.
Looking at the satellite from here, everything is so peaceful, although this peace may be broken at any time, but South America.
If they were hit by missiles it would be even more tragic than South America.
Therefore, we still have to keep this place.
"He Kui, South America has been conquered."
Faced with Jiuer's belated communication, He Kui also showed a surprised expression.
"what happened?"
"It happened three hours ago."
Naturally, He Kui already knew what Jiuer said later. After listening to him all the way, Jiuer quickly stated his purpose.
"So we need to speed up our Genesis."
"I understand."
"Ah."
Because he was already familiar with He Kui, Jiuer did not urge him anymore and continued.
"Tomorrow is the day the election results will be announced. You should prepare well. You will be going to May City this time, but we will arrange security."
"Ok."
After saying just two sentences, Jiuer seemed to hang up the phone in a hurry.
He Kui, who had a rare chance to rest, returned to his room.
At this time, Shihe and several other people had been waiting here for a long time.
When they saw He Kui coming in, they all stood up.
"how's it going?"
Su Lei, who had just helped He Kui invade the body, walked directly in front of He Kui.
He asked nervously.
"It's ruined. It will take at least two months to repair it."
That battle was related to the survival of their entire PLANT. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say so,
But if the mass accelerator really fell into the hands of the Atlantic Federation, there was no doubt that countless nuclear bombs would be waiting for them.
Although He Kui has nano weapons, the quantity of these things has never increased.
If the other side has too many nuclear bombs, they will be in trouble.
So this situation is actually the best.
Just as He Kui thought, Su Lei and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"It's okay."
".Rest early today."
He Kui hugged Su Lei.
Although there was still some fatigue on his face, his heart had recovered a lot.
Life must go on, and all he can do is keep making progress.
Nothing can stop him.
"Hmm~"
Su Lei had seen the tragic conditions there.
Even if He Kui's heart had already become cruel, that was only when he was facing his enemies.
So she also noticed that something was wrong with He Kui at this time, and just gently stroked He Kui's back.
The warm and delicate hands left waves of gentle touch on He Kui's back, carrying infinite tenderness and comfort.
Every touch of the girl was like a silent word.
He Kui only felt a warm current extending from his back to his whole body.
They are especially gentle tonight.
