Chapter 1377 Chain Reaction
Victoria Airport.
This is not a good day to go out.
Although the Eurasian Federation has urgently allocated a batch of much-needed anti-radiation materials and sent them to Victoria Airport and the surrounding cities, for a period of time, all authorities including Victoria Airport strictly prohibited people in the surrounding areas from going out. They had to stay indoors and wait for relevant rescue personnel to come and pick them up, and leave this area which is temporarily unsuitable for human habitation as soon as possible.
"It's a terrible time."
Cheng Yi, who was wrapped in protective clothing from head to toe, came out of the underground passage to the hangar provided for He Ming and Cheng Ying's team. He frowned and looked at the slightly dim sky.
The previous nuclear bomb detonation caused some strange phenomena in the sky in this area, and also caused the sky to suffer strong radioactive damage in a short period of time.
"Special Envoy Cheng. The ground is not suitable for you to come at the moment."
He Ming noticed Cheng Yi's arrival and couldn't help but speak.
Since the end of the battle, he and all the members of the Niyu team have not changed out of their pilot uniforms. Instead, they continue to wear them, return to the cockpit from time to time, take some anti-radiation drugs, and stay in this hangar, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Solar Energy Construction Alliance.
"No. There are some things that you can't fully understand just by listening."
Cheng Yi moved his gaze and looked at the remains of Vidofolnir placed in the open space in front of the Niyu team.
At this moment, the Niyu team is trying to crack the password lock of the cockpit.
With the joint efforts of Shin Asuka and Sally, the cracking work seems to have come to an end.
"Success."
The two heads trapped in the protective helmets touched each other lightly, and then they gestured to Sasha and Stella at the same time.
Sasha and Stella immediately separated to the left and right, forming a square formation with Sally and Shin Asuka, firmly controlling all escapes outside the cockpit into the hands of the Niyu team.
"Don't be nervous. The pilot inside has passed out. There's no need to be so nervous."
When He Ming's voice came, he and Cheng Yi also came to the remains of Vidofolnir's body.
"Vidfornir? Doesn't this look like the Providence Gundam developed by ZAFT back then?"
Cheng Yi seemed to have done some research on the war that year.
"Yes. That's true. From a technical point of view, it is indeed quite similar to the Providence Gundam back then. I'm afraid there are still many secrets hidden in it."
Cheng Yi pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed. I think so too. I have already reported the existence of Vidfornir to the country. And, I believe that the higher-ups have already launched corresponding countermeasures and questioned PALNT and ZAFT."
After saying that, Cheng Yi shook his head slightly.
"Personally, I think the possibility that PLANT and ZAFT can give us a satisfactory answer is not high. After all, ZAFT is the only one that has equipped MS with nuclear-powered engines since the last war."
"In fact, the origin of this machine is not important. What is important is the nuclear bombs. Where did the World Tree get those nuclear bombs from?"
He Ming recalled the time when he intercepted those missiles before. If it weren't for his amazing intuition, he would probably have been affected by the nuclear bomb.
Even if Chengying has excellent pilot protection equipment, He Ming himself would probably suffer some harm.
As for Salamantini, because there is still a lot of residual radiation in the nearby airspace, it is temporarily unable to rendezvous with Victoria Airport. It remains in the waters east of South Africa, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the East Asian Republic before rendezvous with them again.
"Nuclear bomb..."
Cheng Yi pursed his lips, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"In fact, I already have some ideas. Some people who are staying in the shelter have already revealed their true colors."
"Really?"
He Ming raised his eyebrows, revealing an expression that he expected it. "Well, for example, the Eurasian Federation's special envoy, Mr. Burlington, was stunned when he learned that the World Tree was willing to use nuclear bombs to destroy Victoria Airport. He has not spoken a word to anyone around him since then."
Cheng Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said jokingly.
"Perhaps, the special envoy was deceived by some false promises."
"Really? Then, the next thing will be handed over to you, Special Envoy Cheng. I am good at fighting and killing. As for the intrigue, I'll leave it to you."
Cheng Yi was stunned and shook his head helplessly.
"Well! General, you are in charge of the surface, and I will be in charge of the underground."
After saying that, Cheng Yi turned and walked into the underground passage.
"Don't you want to see who is piloting this machine?"
Hearing He Ming's words, Cheng Yi waved his hand.
"I won't watch it anymore. Anyway, it's just an insignificant discard."
Having said that, it is true.
If Frey, who was piloting Vidoflnir, was really an important person, how could the mastermind behind the scenes be so ruthless as to use a nuclear bomb in an attempt to completely destroy the land where Victoria Airport is located and turn it into a dead and scorched earth?
He Ming hesitated for a moment, but still walked up the maintenance stairs to the wreckage of Vidofolnir's body. Together with the members of the Niyu team, he transferred the unconscious Frey out. Then, he cracked Vidofolnir's nuclear power engine and related systems.
On the other side, in the Polaris which dived into the seabed again, Salamantini was talking with Lacus in Tianzhu City.
“I didn’t expect something like this would happen.”
Lux looked a little haggard.
During this period of time, she has been busy with the things she discussed with Patrick Sarah, and she must have been under a lot of pressure.
But after hearing that He Ming and Salamantini and others who were heading to Victoria Airport had encountered a nuclear bomb attack, she immediately tried to contact He Ming.
However, due to the communication paralysis caused by the high-altitude nuclear explosion, He Ming could not be contacted for a while. Finally, he learned the detailed situation through Salamantini.
"This is indeed an accident. But don't worry! A mere nuclear bomb can't hurt adults. However, the chain reaction after the nuclear bomb explodes may be a more troublesome matter."
Saramantini paused and asked meaningfully.
"Lacus, have you finished your preparations?"
Lux nodded, a hint of caution in her eyes.
"It's basically done. Now, we just need the right time. I have to say that this nuclear bomb explosion is probably an opportunity. As for the specific arrangements, I have to see how the alliance arranges it."
"Okay! Just concentrate on completing your tasks and missions. I will protect you here."
"Please! Sarah, sometimes, I really envy you. You can fly a mecha into battle, develop mechas, and even handle internal affairs. Sarah, you really are a perfect all-round player!"
Salamantini shook his head, a trace of nostalgia passing across his face.
"That was just the situation! If I hadn't worked hard to learn all the knowledge at that time, I'm afraid the dragon clan wouldn't have been able to hold on to the end."
Salamantini then smiled.
"Don't waste time on my past. Lux, now is the time for you to fulfill your mission."
"Well, I know!"
