Machine War: Infinite Frontier

"Auxiliary unit APU started."

"Ejection slot link."

"Start equipping the Assault Wing Backpack."

In the cockpit of the golden machine, Xiao Yun gently shook his head and let himself go in the BGM played by VT. With the voice of Mirialia, the golden machine was transferred from the restraint frame of Gnaku to the ejection channel and fell down. When I arrived, I happened to step on the ejection pedal, and the Strike Gundam's wing backpack was sent down from the top of the passage and connected to the back of the golden machine with a click.

Shields were sent out to the left and right respectively, and were linked to the arms of the machine under the control of VT.

"The equipment is completed and the line is cleared. Mr. Xiao Yun is ready to attack."

"Thank you, received." Xiao Yun patted VT to turn off the BGM, and then said: "But Miss Mirialia, can you cancel the attack program and help me open the front door."

Mirialia looked confused: "??? What's wrong, Mr. Xiao Yun?"

"I have no experience in this kind of ejection attack, and I have never used this backpack." Xiao Yunshi said matter-of-factly: "Although it is very exciting and ceremonial, I am worried that I will not be able to operate it after being ejected."

Mirialia was speechless: "..., I understand. The ejection procedure is canceled and the hatch is opened. Mr. Xiao Yun, please be careful."

"receive."

Seeing through the monitor that the passage ahead had been completely opened, Xiao Yun lightly stepped on the foot pedal, held the operating lever, and slowly operated the golden color to come out. The sound of clanging resounded in the passage, and the meter of the bridge could be seen. Lialia was worried that the golden opportunity would lose its balance and fall into the passage.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. When the golden machine reached the outermost part of the ejection channel, the golden machine bent its legs slightly and jumped down. It looked really embarrassing.

The propeller of the golden machine that landed on the ground slowly turned on. As the propeller of the Wings backpack behind him lit up, he saw the golden machine sticking to the ground at an extremely fast speed, bringing up dust and flying towards the distance. go.

"It's really embarrassing. I haven't learned lateral ejection." Xiao Yun leaned on the chair with his head in his hands and said helplessly to VT: "You must record the data well, otherwise it will be too embarrassing to come out like this in the future."

VT: "Received, the backpack operation data is being recorded, Xiao Yun, I can accept the attack procedure next time."

Xiao Yun pouted: "Whatever, after recording the data, find an opportunity to simulate a few more times. By the way, VT, have you started?"

"The backpack data is being interpreted. The estimated completion time is ten minutes."

He obviously carries a backpack with short-term flight capabilities, but on today's golden aircraft, the flying backpack is completely used as a large propeller, allowing the golden aircraft to activate the suspension and glide mode to soar very fast over the desert, far away. A line of salons can be seen flying towards Tasia's direction.

In the bridge of the Archangel, Malu had just sat on the captain's seat when he saw the dust left by the golden machine belt. He couldn't help but asked with some doubts: "Miriyalia, is the ejection channel broken? I I just saw that the machine jumped out on its own."

Mirialia was also a little speechless: "Captain Malu, Mr. Xiao Yun said that he had never used a similar backpack and had no experience in ejection sorties, so he asked me to cancel the sortie procedure and walk out on my own."

Malu: "…………"

At this time, Mu, who had also completed the attack and was already in the sky, also saw the scene of the golden machine flying very fast on the desert. Mu, who transmitted the scene back to the Archangel in real time, said in amazement: "Incredible. It is able to glide in the desert even though it has no tracks. It must have used some kind of special air cushion device. Could it be that this MS was specially prepared for desert operations? The air combat backpack is completely used as a reinforced balance thruster."

"This movement is so smooth, and the maneuverability makes Baku jump a few blocks!"

Ma Liu rubbed his forehead: "I didn't expect this, Major. Instead of watching other people's jokes, it's better to go over and see what the situation in the city is like."

"Understood, Captain."

The Air King began to accelerate, directly overtaking the golden machine that was gliding on the ground from the sky. It didn't take long to reach the sky above the city of Tasia. Looking at the city that was completely enveloped in a sea of ​​fire, Mu's expression also became heavy: "It's so tragic. The whole city is burning. It looks like there are no survivors."

"That's..." Mu turned around and passed over the edge of the city. He noticed the dark crowd on the ground and quickly reported: "This is Flaka. There are survivors here... It should be said that many residents are safe and sound. What’s going on?”

Ma Liu's voice appeared on the communication channel: "Where is the enemy?"

"I didn't see it. It has disappeared without a trace."

Xiao Yun, who was also in the communication channel, also heard the conversation between the two, and arrived only slightly later than the Air King driven by Mu. When he came over, he saw countless people and a burning city.

There was no expression on Xiao Yun's face. He took a look at the proportion of energy consumed during the distance and saw that the consumption was less than 2%. Xiao Yun nodded with satisfaction. With the backpack and without. The backpack is very different. If a golden machine without a backpack could cover this distance by itself, the energy consumption would have to go up by 4%.

But one thing to say is that the air suspension device currently installed on the golden machine is easy to use, but the energy consumption is indeed too high.

At this moment, the sky suddenly flashed with several rays of light, and several flares exploded in the sky and lit up. Xiao Yun looked in the direction where the flares appeared, and saw a ZAFT Baku on a sand dune in the distance. Above, the single eye on the head flashes red, seeming to be sending some special signal towards this side.

After the signal was transmitted, the Baku turned around and disappeared behind the dunes.

"What do you mean, inviting a fight?"

VT: "The signal code has been interpreted. The full text is: Golden MS, this is revenge for yesterday."

Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, "It's none of my business. I'll go to your hometown next time."

On the other side, Andrew Butterfield was sitting in the previous jeep, holding up a cup and taking a comfortable sip of the coffee in it. He watched the Baku send the message back and waved his hand to let his adjutant drive.

And his adjutant, Xiao Hongmao, had a puzzled look on his face: "Captain, what do you mean, you don't want to ambush the other party and you have to send a message to the other party now that they are so far away."

"I just want to see what kind of person the driver of that golden machine is." Andrew said unhurriedly: "For some people, it is better to die happily than to live in discomfort. I just want to I know what kind of person he would be.”

Andrew didn't wait for the little red hair to speak, and said to himself: "The fighting style is reckless but delicate, like a wild dancer in the desert, but the acting style is decisive, ruthless, but also vulgar, late at night He actually spied on that Earth Army warship, and after the battle, he chased me for more than ten kilometers. I can’t swallow this feeling!”

"Chased me for more than ten kilometers without saying anything and used me as a shield. Finally, when he got the chance to attack me, he deliberately pretended that the machine was malfunctioning and let me go like a mouse. It's so shameless! I guarantee that this person is definitely someone who can do anything for money. A mercenary with no bottom line! Judging from the shameless style of this pilot, he will probably pretend that nothing happened and just wait and see."

"Now that this machine appears here, it is basically certain that he was hired by the group of people in the Dawn Desert. Who made the new mobile suit? But if the other party does not come to pursue him, my guess about him will be confirmed. He's just a shameless mercenary who doesn't do anything unnecessary, but if he pursues me, it means that the opponent is not just a mercenary, and I can't play this game so easily."

The little red hair looked at Andrew Butterfield and wanted to tell him that it is you, the captain, who is truly shameless. However, considering the consequences of saying these words, he decided to drive as if he had not heard anything. leave.
