The Thoughtful Maid!
Chapter 1886 The Thoughtful Maid!
The Psycho Gundam, now in MA form, hovered steadily about twenty meters above the ground, moving forward at a constant speed, leading the MS assault team behind it all the way into the interior of Level VI HIVE.
Whenever a group of BETAs appeared ahead, whether large or small, Murasame would not hesitate to destroy or scatter them with the Triple Spread MEGA Particle Cannon on the chest of the Psycho Gundam, causing them to run around and be picked off one by one by the MS assault squad surrounding the Psycho Gundam.
This tactic is very effective.
Since He Ming ordered Murasame and Psycho Gundam to act as the spearhead of this assault team and enter this underground tunnel, they have not encountered any enemies that can effectively stop the assault team's advance.
"Wow, that's amazing! At this speed, we'll probably reach the core of this nest very soon."
As part of the escorting Psycho Gundam, Shinji Ikari watched in amazement as the Psycho Gundam's diffusion particle cannon turned the bodies into piles of steaming wreckage in the blink of an eye.
"Don't let your guard down. This is the BETA's stronghold. We still don't have enough information. Don't let your guard down!"
While issuing the warning, He Ming also tried to release his brain quantum waves to sense the surrounding situation. But strangely, at the end of the tunnel, He Ming did not feel even a trace of hostility. It was as if at the end of the tunnel, there was only deathly silence and nothingness.
"Colonel, there's an situation ahead!"
The Psycho Gundam at the front seemed to have discovered something, and Murasame immediately reported it to He Ming.
When everyone stepped forward, they were immediately stunned by what they saw.
At the far end of the tunnel, there were BETA corpses everywhere.
Whether large or small, all became part of the corpses piled up in the tunnel before them.
Judging from the wounds and residual energy on these BETA corpses, they were probably caused by someone very familiar with them.
"This...this was caused by Lian?"
In the assault team, Alice looked in astonishment at the pile of corpses that filled half the tunnel.
"I'm afraid that's it. It seems our journey from here on out should proceed smoothly."
He Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
As He Ming gave the order, everyone raised the height of the flight platform, allowing it to pass over the pile of corpses, and also helping Murasame Feng check if the Psycho Gundam could successfully fly over the pile of corpses.
"We made it through! Let's go, Colonel, men. I have a feeling there's something else waiting for us ahead."
After successfully piloting the Psycho Gundam over the pile of corpses, Murasame Feng looked ahead and spoke.
"Okay, stay alert. Leave one person behind to support the logistics troops."
He Ming agreed with Cun Yufeng's suggestion.
The fact that this tunnel, which is large enough for a super-heavy beam-class aircraft to pass through, is filled with BETA corpses suggests that it was not a simple ambush.
It is likely that Lian did this intentionally.
The reason she did this, besides wanting to wipe out the BETA, was probably to attract all the BETA scattered throughout the intricate tunnels of HIVE in the shortest possible time, indirectly providing a safer environment for He Ming and the others to launch their attack later into HIVE.
"As expected of a maid trusted by the witch, such thoughtful service is hard to refuse."
Meanwhile, the logistics troops responsible for laying communication nodes and transporting ammunition were also quite frightened by the horrifying pile of corpses when they arrived at the tunnel.
Fortunately, with the pilots who had been left behind, the logistics unit, despite the brief moment of shock, quickly got to work.
After all, it wasn't humans who died, just those disgusting ugly monsters.
After the initial shock, some people even took advantage of the brief pause in the communication system's activation after the communication lines were laid to have the accompanying reporters take a photo of them with the piles of corpses.
"Communications are established, Colonel. Other squads are experiencing similar situations. Every tunnel that seems to lead to the core of HIVE is marked by numerous BETA remains as guides."
CC's ZETA Gundam Unit 4 circled behind the assault team and returned with new information. "As expected. Everyone, speed up! The BETA in the nearby tunnels should be mostly cleared out. Also, notify the other assault teams on the defensive lines to speed up as well, but remain vigilant!"
"Yes!"
News from other tunnels confirmed to He Ming that Lian, who had entered the HIVE earlier, had indeed caused a great disturbance, dealing with all the BETAs that could be gathered and leaving marks to guide the main force's advance.
"I and the Psycho Gundam are going first!"
Although there probably wouldn't be many enemies blocking the way ahead, Murasame still felt a little unwilling.
As the main force in punishing crimes and also He Ming's capable subordinate, Murasame Feng did not want to have a day when she could take credit for others' work.
"Feng, there's no need to rush!"
He Ming noticed that Cun Yufeng seemed a little impatient, so he spoke to comfort her and then called for everyone to follow.
As the Psycho Gundam and the assault team advanced, the familiar Gate-class BETA appeared ahead.
However, compared to the Gate-class BETA that He Ming had seen underground in the Second Tokyo urban cluster, the Gate-class BETA in front of him was broken and battered, covered in blood. The huge crater was the main reason that the Gate-class BETA died on the spot.
"go!"
Clearly, this is also Lian's masterpiece.
Without lingering, He Ming led the group forward again.
Although they hadn't calculated it precisely, the underground passage, which stretched for at least several tens of kilometers, was mostly unobstructed after the first half. Then, a familiar figure appeared before them, confronting a terrifying behemoth with its massive size, sharp claws, and gaping maw.
"lotus."
As the Psycho Gundam transformed from MA mode to MS mode and slowly landed on the ground, He Ming's Banshee Gundam also landed beside the Master Gundam.
"My lord, gentlemen, you have arrived."
With her arms crossed and a calm demeanor, she watched the mothership-class maid who had been threatening her and blocking her path for a long time chuckle, and waved to He Ming and Alice Tina's group.
"Colonel, this BETA, my Psycho Gundam and I can handle it."
The Mothership-class BETA is not unfamiliar to those in the Punishment faction; in fact, it can be considered an old friend.
During the Battle of Prague, the last Mothership-class BETA to appear did cause some trouble for the Punisher, but it also made the Punisher take notice of this type of BETA, which could burrow underground and launch surprise attacks on the rear of human defenses.
"No! Miss Feng. Leave this to me and the master! This was a target specifically left for the master."
Lian smiled and politely declined Cun Yufeng's suggestion.
"The objective left for the colonel?"
Murasame was taken aback and looked at the nameless banshee Gao Da.
"Lian, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes. There is indeed something."
Lian nodded and then opened her private communication with He Ming.
"I learned from Senior Brother Duomeng that you once learned the 'Mirror of Still Water' technique from another Senior Brother Duomeng..."
