Machine Lion Roar

Chapter 918: a bygone era

Remember [New] for a second,! The sky is clear, it is a good weather.

But Orn Bailey on the coastline of Oceania is as quiet and beautiful as the blue sky.

ornberry.

This is a city where a group of guerrillas gathered from all over the earth to fight against the Earth Federation.

This is a city where desperados live for various reasons, but with a similar ultimate purpose.

Now, these outlaws are here just because of the slogans shouted by one person, an organization, and the shocking actions made by them, trying to become a member of the organization called Mafti, to the **** Earth Federation , fired the bullets full of resentment and blood and tears at the federal officials who only knew how to be high and did not know the suffering of the people.

However, after the earth-shattering beam of light broke through the night sky last night, everything changed.

Whether it was the rare tranquility of Orn Bailey or the **** battlefield, from that moment on, it became Orn Bailey's nightmare.

Zerg.

At the moment when the beam of light that broke through the night sky descended to the horizon, the Zerg army lurking in the depths of Oceania rioted and attacked the coastal line of Oceania.

In addition to the cities guarded by the Earth Federation Forces, their targets are more similar to the cities occupied by anti-Federal organizations like Orn Bailey.

Between day and night, the rolling sand and dust from the depths of Oceania converged into a terrifying sandstorm that swept the coastline of Oceania.

It was a terrified scream!

It was a harsh, earth-shattering siren!

Whether it was the Earth Federation Army stationed in the major cities along the coast, or the city where the anti-Federal organizations were located, they instantly entered a state of battle.

This is no longer an infighting between humans!

Rather, it is a brutal war between alien races and human beings on earth, which will never be said or possible.

It's just that, compared to the Earth Federation garrison with the support of the entire Earth's resources, Aoun Bailey relies on anti-Federal people, as well as some social organizations hidden in the shadows, and even relies on looting past merchant ships to obtain funds for activities The anti-Federal cities of the United States are particularly stretched.

Even though, not long ago, Orn Bailey had relied on the Gaplan developed and manufactured by the Titans, which he had never bought from nowhere, and almost created a horrific hijacking incident.

Although it failed at the end of the incident, it is undeniable that this Orn Bailey, which was gathered by various resistance organizations, even the guerrillas, was not as simple as it seemed.

And the sudden zerg invasion now is the moment to force Orn Bailey to reveal the trump card hidden in his hand.

In the sandstorm that swept everything, the looming zerg monsters gave the people of Orn Bailey no way out.

The only thing they can do is to stand up, protect their rare home, and send a distress signal to the outside world.

Call for help to the real mafti, the real mafti Nabiyu Erin.

"Quick! Quick! You, you, and you, quickly pick up your weapons and enter the defense!"

Among Orn Bailey, there is no shortage of such roars that use all of their strength.

It can be said that these roars have become the main theme from the moment the Zerg army was discovered.

However, among these voices, among the figures driven by these voices, there is a very discordant figure.

When a name with a nervous, calm, or flustered face ran quickly across the street, on the other side of the street, in a corner shrouded in shadows, a haggard, disheveled, sloppy appearance. The middle-aged man stared at the figures carrying guns and rushing out of the city with his drunken eyes.

"Whoa..."

The weak right hand held the bottle of inferior wine with only a few sips left, and raised it slightly, and saluted the figures. After a few squeaks in his hoarse throat, the middle-aged man fell into the side effects of alcohol again. In a drowsiness.

————

When the salty taste of moisture rushed towards him, Lei Mingkai's brain, which had not fully woken up from his deep sleep, was brought to reality by the cold sea breeze.

"You haven't woken up yet? Lei Mingkai."

Kiki's voice came from the side.

In less than ten minutes, it was time for the action to begin.

With the cooperation of Mafti's many logistics personnel, the five MSs, including Cauchy Gundam, have been erected from the cargo hold and entered the countdown to the final takeoff.

Not far away, Hathaway was arranging the next tasks for his teammates.

This is a reconnaissance mission.

But it does not rule out the possibility of being involved in the war between Aoun Bailey and the Federation.

"How strange!"

At this moment, Kiki suddenly said such a sentence.

"Oh? What's so strange?"

Lei Mingkai blinked and looked at Qiqi.

I saw Kiki turned her head, looked in another direction, and pointed her finger there.

"That's the next mission target, right?"

Lei Mingkai was very sure that Kiki had never seen the map of the next mission, and was also quite sure that Kiki herself did not know much about their next actions.

"What do you feel?"

Kiki's intuition is very sharp.

And, after contacting Lei Mingkai, this intuition seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

"Well, it seems to be fighting with something, but those enemies don't seem to be people."

Kiki frowned and said hesitantly.

"not human?"

According to intelligence, in Oceania, apart from humans, there is only HIVE in beta that has not been cleared by the Federation and is the only base for extraterrestrial monsters that still exists in the earth's atmosphere.

At this moment, Ilam ran from the cabin in a hurry.

At first glance, he saw Lei Mingkai and Kiki standing not far from Keshida.

But he only had time to nod towards Lei Mingkai and Kiki, and then quickly ran to Hathaway and the others in front of the Mesa Commander.

"Things have changed."

Kiki blinked and looked at Lei Mingkai, like a little girl who wanted to be praised.

"Yeah. Kiki, your intuition is always accurate."

Lei Mingkai smiled slightly.

Immediately, he saw Hathaway who looked stunned under Ilam's narration.

Presumably, it is a request for help!

It's just that the content of the help message may have changed.

"Kiki. Next, you stay on the boat."

After Reminkay and Hathaway looked at each other from a distance, they were about to turn around and board the Cosy Gundam.

"and many more."

Kiki suddenly stopped Lei Mingkai.

When Lei Mingkai looked back, he found an extra mask in Qiqi's hand.

The mask itself isn't much of a problem.

But its style is a bit intriguing.

Silver mask.

If you can find a similar mask from memory, I am afraid it is the mask used by Fel?? Frontal, also known as the "pseudo-duck".

But upon closer inspection, there are more differences.

Several dark red lines extending from the corners of the eyes towards the back.

There is also the mechanism that can freely switch between silver anti-glare eye protection and red glasses.

They were all telling Lei Mingkai the difference between this mask and the two silver masks he remembered.

Lei Mingkai took the mask, and before she said anything, Kiki said to herself.

"Yesterday I suddenly felt that Lei Mingkai, you should need such a mask. So, I asked Maximilia to take the time to make it."

"yes?"

Lei Mingkai weighed the silver mask in his hand and smiled.

"It seems that it took a lot of thought! But, it's really helpful! Kiki, thank you! Also, thank you to Maximilia for me."

"OK!"

After being praised by Lei Mingkai, Kiki showed a happy smile.

So, under the watchful eyes of Kiki, Lei Mingkai boarded the cockpit of Cauchy Gundam.

The hatch is closed,

When the screen turned on, Lei Mingkai found that Hathaway had been waiting for him on the communication channel.

"Mafti. Something happened, right?"

"Yes."

Hathaway nodded.

"It's those bugs. Orn Bailey is being attacked by those bugs. Moreover, according to the feedback from our intelligence channels, the major cities along the coast of the entire Oceania are attacked by those Zerg monsters at almost the same time. "

"Are you scared?"

"No. This is to be expected. On that night, when the Federation used satellite laser cannons to clear the Zerg army near Davao, we expected it."

Hathaway paused, and there seemed to be a sigh.

"It's just that we didn't expect that the Zerg army hidden in the depths of Oceania would be so terrifying. It has a force capable of attacking the major cities along the coast of Oceania at the same time."

What a terrifying force that was!

What a terrifying army that is!

No human being will not be afraid of seeing the terrifying army attacking from the depths of Oceania towards the coastal front line.

That is an army of monsters that is enough to scare ordinary people instantly!

"Drip..."

A prompt to accept the message popped up on the screen in front of Hathaway.

"This is?"

"This is the intelligence that I have collected and gathered from my personal understanding and experience. Maybe, we can use it next."

That's information about BETA.

Since waking up in this world, Lei Mingkai has paid attention to the BETA of this world.

It is a pity that although this world has fought back and forth with BETA, it is strange that the information about BETA has not been gathered into a detailed information.

To this end, Lei Mingkai edited the information about BETA in his memory into a document at this suitable opportunity and handed it over to Hathaway.

"BETA? Is that what you call those zerg monsters, Reminkay?"

"That's it."

"I understand."

With the end of the countdown to the sortie, the moment all the maintenance personnel evacuated to the safe area, Lei Mingkai's Cauchy Gundam was the first to take off from the deck.

In an instant, in the sea area where the Valiant was located, there was the sound of the MS propulsion engine being fully activated.

———

"boom…"

The roar of the explosion swept through Aoun Bailey.

It was the sound of the fire of war, and it was the reminder of the death **** wielding his sickle to harvest life.

"boom!!"

The shock wave brought by the violent explosion knocked the debris down the street.

The debris wrapped in the strong airflow rolled around, some rolled towards the end of the street, and some were swept into the corner of the street by the turbulent flow.

"Bang!"

The broken trash can slammed into the remote corner in the strong turbulence.

The harsh crashing sound not only awakened the middle-aged man who fell into a drowsiness under the influence of alcohol, but also made him notice the noise on the street.

"Quick! Go ask for help! Now, Castle and the others are trapped in the first line of defense, being besieged by those **** bugs!!"

After the shock wave of the explosion, the figure that reappeared on the street turned out to be the wounded person with a flustered face and large and small scars on his body.

Most people looked terrified and instinctively moved towards the depths of the street, the deepest part of the city.

It looked like he was escaping from some terrifying existence.

But among these people, there are still a few nervous, anxiously looking to the people around them, and even holding the simple communication equipment to the leader of the armed forces occupying the city for help.

However, no matter how much they called for help, they could not get any response.

Because, now the city is not just asking for help, but the entire line of defense is asking for help.

"Hey!! Hey! Is anyone there? Hey..."

The young man pushed to the edge of the crowd kept calling for support that didn't exist with the communicator in his hand.

Even so, he was still screaming hard.

first line of defense.

Second line of defense.

Even the last line of defense has been rushed by the Zerg monsters.

Even if there are humans who persist in resisting on these lines of defense, they cannot persist for long.

This city…

I'm afraid it's over!

When the powerless reality was drenched in front of the young man's eyes, he found that he couldn't do anything at all.

"Casle... where is it?"

At this moment, a heavy palm patted the young man's shoulder.

The young man was startled and looked back subconsciously.

It turned out that the person who patted his shoulder was the man who had been despised, even disgusted, by these young people in the past.

"Castle, Castle is trapped in the first line of defense, and there is no way to withdraw! Now! No one can support them now."

disgust, disgust.

But the other party is still Castle's father. As Castle's good friend, even at a critical juncture, he still does not give up and keeps finding life for Castle's best friend. The young man still tells about Castle's current situation. .

"First line of defense? Yes? I see."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then he stopped paying attention to the young man, and swayed back to the dark corner step by step.

"Hey! Where are you going? Now the first and second lines of defense have been breached. You should retreat to the headquarters with me now. Castle is now..."

When it comes to the close friend who is currently in the first line of defense, the young man gritted his teeth in unbearable expression, and then raised his head to look at the middle-aged man.

"At least, at least you have to withdraw with me! Castle's father!"

The young man's cry, the middle-aged man did not hear at all.

His footsteps were still swaying, which was the after-effect of indulging in alcohol anesthesia day and night, but for some reason, as the footsteps progressed, as the figure was shrouded in the darkness of the street corner, the middle-aged man's ear actually slowly There was a burst of shouting.

It was not a scream of terror under the sound of gunfire,

Not even the last roar in the face of the enemy's slaughter,

But decades ago, the still young self was standing in the midst of a passionate crowd, holding his girlfriend's little hand, waving his right hand vigorously, following the people around him, and shouting frantically at the figure on the screen.

"ZICKZIEON!"

"ZICKZIEON!"

"ZICKZIEON!"

"…"

During the shouting, his girlfriend always looked at him tenderly.

Gradually, the clothes on his girlfriend's body became a wedding dress, and a ring was put on her ring finger.

On a sunny day, he and his girlfriend who became his wife, along with the newly born son, landed on the earth with the army.

Those were not warm days, but terrible days with **** slaughter and fierce battles.

In those days, he chose to escape the battlefield with his wife and son and hide in an unknown island.

In a blink of an eye, his wife finally died of illness in the dark and dark escape life.

A middle-aged man who lost his beloved wife took his newly grown son, and after burying his beloved wife, he finally fell into the anesthesia of alcohol and did not care about the world.

until this moment,

Until his own son, because of his parents' experience, and because of his father's neglect of him, hated the Federation's Castle, joined Orn Bailey, and was now surrounded by zerg,

The middle-aged man woke up from the anesthesia of alcohol.

"Bah!"

walk in the dark,

The wine bottle in the middle-aged man's hand was slammed to the ground by him.

The shattered glass mixed with the drink was scattered all over the place, and the strong smell of alcohol filled the surrounding moment, the middle-aged man's body couldn't help shaking a little, and he almost didn't stand still.

But after the middle-aged man fumbled around for a while, he finally caught a cold handle.

"Ho...ho..."

The middle-aged man couldn't help breathing hard, and his body devastated by alcohol was constantly squeezing the last trace of potential.

"Hey...hey...hahahahahaha!!"

The harder he breathed, the more the middle-aged man wanted to laugh.

Run away!

Run away!

From the one-year war to the present day,

Fleeing from that frenzy to the present,

From that **** cry to the now powerless body,

The middle-aged man finally came back here.

Back to the... MS that was supposed to belong to him.

"ZICKZIEON...ZICKZIEON!"

"ZICKZIEON!!"

"Finally, give me a little more strength at the end!"

"ZICKZIEON!"

The middle-aged man squeezed the handle with all his strength and pushed it upwards.

"Snapped!"

Power on!

Under the bright white light, the scarred MS was standing there quietly, as if decades ago, he was still in that cruel battlefield, waiting for its pilot to arrive.

"Zagu..."

"Long time no see!"

"Sorry! Finally, give me a little more strength to save Castle!"
