An hour after landing in the desert, through a terrain map that Erica took out, their team came to a deserted valley in the desert, and then quickly started to build a shelter using the materials dragged along by the golden machine.
It's a decent campsite.
After the containers storing supplies were cleaned, they turned into rest rooms in the blink of an eye. Generators, solar power panels, camouflage nets, etc. were also quickly arranged. It didn't take a dozen people much effort to arrange the base in a presentable manner.
.
The golden machine also parked under the camouflage net in a kneeling position, and then everyone got together and started preparing for dinner. Although today was Valentine's Day, it was obviously nothing like this group of people who had come all the way to settle down in the desert.
It doesn't matter, after simply eating something, we started to get busy again.
Erica has been using headphones to contact someone in the container room. Others are also busy with their own things, whether setting up a camp or adjusting equipment. Xiao Yun has become the only idle person in the container room. He originally thought that today would be so peaceful.
In the past, Erica came to Xiao Yun with a tablet computer.
"I'm sorry, although I know you are very tired, but the current situation may require you to run."
With that said, he handed the tablet in his hand to Xiao Yun's hand.
After taking over the computer and looking at it, Xiao Yun saw a white and red battleship with two long legs on the screen. Xiao Yun recognized the battleship at the first sight.
"Archangel, has it already landed on the earth at this time?" Xiao Yun thought to himself, then he looked up at Erica and said, "A battleship in the desert? What's the problem?"
Erica frowned slightly and said: "This battleship is the high-speed battleship Archangel built by Dawn Society and the United Earth Army in Heliopolis. Although I don't know why it appears here, our princess is very interested in this battleship.
It seems that they are very interested, and the people from Dawn Desert are approaching this battleship."
"At the same time, people from ZAFT seem to be eyeing this battleship." Erica said and couldn't help but shook her head: "In this case, you know what will happen in the end. No matter what, Dawn Desert belongs to Orb.
Collaborator, Cagalli’s safety must also be taken care of, and since I am not sure how much combat power this battleship still has, I can only leave it to you.”
"I have asked people to start preparing the golden machine. However, you are not Orb's soldier, so you can refuse this mission arrangement. But if possible, I still hope that you can fly the golden machine and join the battle as a mercenary.
please."
Xiao Yun looked at Erica with a helpless smile: "Although I had prepared for the possibility of facing ZAFT's regular army, I didn't expect it to come so quickly. However, my body is a little over the standard? It also exceeded the initial mission.
Category, according to you, it’s not about delaying time, but you want me to repel ZAFT’s regular army?”
Erica said: "Regarding this, I will try my best to compensate you in other ways."
Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows, looked at Erica, and said with a smile: "Then your sacrifice is quite big. Since you said so, this is your hopeful commission. It would be too hurtful for me to refuse.
"
"??"
Erica was stunned for a moment, but after noticing Xiao Yun's teasing eyes, she immediately understood what these words meant.
It was unclear whether Xiao Yun was joking or telling the truth, let alone whether Xiao Yun misunderstood her meaning or said it deliberately. Erica was a little confused by Xiao Yun's actions, and she didn't even know when she opened her mouth.
What should be said.
However, Xiao Yun continued before Erica could speak: "Send me the location, and I will try my best to assist Dawn Desert in protecting the safety of your princess. But if there is no way to repel the ZAFT army's offensive, which battleship?"
Erica took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "If you don't have the energy to spare, you can ignore the Archangel. Although this ship was manufactured by the Dawn Society, it belongs to the Earth Alliance after all, and essentially has nothing to do with us.
"
"Understood."
Xiao Yun nodded, turned around and started rummaging around in the box at the back, and after a while he found a pilot uniform.
Xiao Yun, who was holding the pilot uniform, looked at Erica, who was standing motionless, and said with a smile: "Why, are you so eager to help me change my clothes now?"
After all, Erica was someone who had been there before. After taking a look at Xiao Yun, although she didn't know what he was really thinking, Erica, who had calmed down, was not as thin-skinned as a young girl.
After glancing at Xiao Yun, he smoothed his hair with one hand, put his hands together on his waist, made a very intellectual and charming look, chuckled and said, "I am.
I don’t mind, but don’t you think you’ll feel better when you return in triumph?”
Xiao Yun took a deep look at Erica. He had seen Erica wearing Shuguang Social work clothes many times, and today's dress in a long skirt was also eye-catching.
After a pause, Xiao Yun smiled noncommittally and nodded: "That's fine."
A few minutes later, Xiao Yun put on his pilot uniform and walked out of the container room with his helmet and VT in his arms. Erica followed Xiao Yun after he walked out.
Following the lifting rope, he entered the cockpit of the golden machine. As soon as he entered, Xiao Yun fixed the VT on the side. He pressed the start button and flipped several switches in succession. He watched as the cockpit cover slowly closed and several screens lit up in sequence.
rise.
Xiao Yun pressed the communication button: "In addition to the standard armament, it also carries two large rocket launchers. Can the battery energy pack support the long-term operation of the jet air cushion device?"
Erica's voice came over the communication: "In addition to the batteries that come with the machine, the backpack is also loaded with more batteries. It will be no problem to survive a battle. The rocket launcher only has a capacity of five rounds."
Xiao Yun checked the weapons and equipment while confirming the condition of the machine body with VT, and at the same time replied: "Two ten-shot guns plus a beam rifle should be enough. Send me the location."
"The location has been sent. The coordinates are eleven kilometers away from here. There are many neutron jammers buried in this area. After passing by, regular communications may be interfered with and the communication will be unclear. These are normal situations, but the communication at this distance
The interference should not be big, and we will immediately set up communication equipment to strengthen the communication signal."
"learn."
Xiao Yun replied, controlled the body and slowly stood up and walked to an open container. He took out a rocket launcher with both arms from inside. After driving the body slowly out of the deserted valley where the camp was located, he adjusted it.
The output power of the body caused the air cushion device and backpack propulsion to start at the same time, and began to glide towards the coordinate location from slow to fast.
