Chapter 1914 The Vanguard of Death Strikes!
In the bustling playground, CC, fuming, was carrying a bunch of snacks. She walked at the front, eating as she went. Every now and then she would look at something she liked, and after picking through the snacks at the stalls, she would ask the stall owner to find He Ming, who was following behind her.
Seeing He Ming with a wry smile as he paid, and then looking at CC, who was beautiful but angry, the young men and women around them all smiled knowingly.
Some people even watched with a sense of schadenfreude, wondering when this couple, who were complete strangers but clearly had a falling out, would reconcile.
It has to be said that after this commotion, He Ming and CC, who had never appeared on this colony before, somehow managed to sneak into the school festival without anyone noticing.
After finishing with the snacks, CC looked around and walked to a spot near the stage where few people noticed her, where she waved to He Ming.
"I thought you had really forgotten me!"
He Ming followed closely behind, and after putting the messy little things in his hands aside, he teased.
"I'm really angry! Don't think that just because you're my boss I'll be afraid of you! Contractor!"
CC snorted coldly, lowered her gaze, and after browsing through the pile of small items she had bought in a fit of pique, she took out a bracelet with a small bear doll the size of a thumb and put it in her pocket.
"This is as an apology."
CC said something and stared at He Ming for a while.
"I really don't know where you got so much money. According to you, this must be a colony from the future, and the currency used in this world can be used here?"
"It's just a minor issue."
He Ming shrugged, indicating that it wouldn't be difficult for him.
Once the two successfully entered the colony, the intelligent AI cube Adino used its hardware network, connected to the colony's central computer, to find the relevant currency information and extract a sufficient amount for Heming's use.
Even if CC were to fly into a rage and buy everything on the spot, sweeping through the commercial district of this colony, it wouldn't bankrupt He Ming.
"How convenient! I never imagined your little thing was so powerful."
As the two chatted casually, the beauty pageant that CC had been watching finally came to an end.
The handsome, tanned host was enthusiastically announcing the results of the match to everyone.
"This year's Miss Ethnic Style beauty pageant winner is..."
"Oh, are you out yet?"
CC's gaze swept across the stage, finally settling on the blonde woman in the red dress, whose demeanor was elegant and poised.
"That's probably her."
"coming."
Unexpectedly, He Ming, who was standing next to her, was not paying attention to the beauty pageant. Instead, she turned her gaze in another direction.
CC reached out to tug at He Ming's sleeve, and upon seeing this, her expression immediately turned serious. Following He Ming's gaze, she looked in the direction of the colony's port.
"Enemy attack?"
"Hmm. There's something unusual."
He Ming nodded and then lightly patted his pocket.
"Adino, issue an air raid warning and direct the people here to the shelter."
"Understood! Proceed with evacuation orders!"
In an instant, before the students, who were excitedly watching the beauty pageant results were announced, could cheer for the beautiful and elegant Cecily Fairchild, Cecily Fairchild, standing on the stage, suddenly turned her gaze to the other side of the stage as if sensing something.
"Waaaaaah!!! Waaaaah~~~"
The deafening air raid siren suddenly blared, startling everyone on the colony into looking around in alarm. At the same time, they received warnings from various sources, demanding that they immediately seek refuge in shelters using extremely harsh measures and methods.
"What? What's going on?!" Among the crowd, the boy Sybook Arno, who was about to cheer for Cecily Fairchild, was also a little confused.
Why did the air raid siren suddenly go off?
Moreover, judging from the reactions of the people around, it seems to be for real.
"Everyone! Quickly!! Get out of here! Head to the shelter! This is war!! Rebels are attacking this colony!"
Cecily Fairchild's voice pierced the ears of everyone present through the microphone, causing them to scatter and flee in terror.
"Oh? This young lady is quite decisive."
CC, who was on the roof of a building near the playground, looked at the girl with a microphone directing the crowd to evacuate and said admiringly.
"Just now, she sensed my presence."
As He Ming spoke, his face suddenly rippled, and the ordinary face that was used as a disguise and simulated by holographic technology disappeared abruptly, revealing the original mask.
CC reached out and patted off non-existent dust from her body, then looked at He Ming's mask and said...
"Actually, if you take off your mask, no one here will recognize you."
"No. I wear this mask not to hide my face, but to hide my existence and prevent those behind the scenes from noticing me."
He Ming shook his head, looking in the direction of the colony satellite port.
There, tiny sparks of fire were flickering.
Clearly, the enemy has already invaded.
"Who can sense your presence?"
CC began to focus her mind slightly, sending a call to the ZETA Gundam Unit 4, which was hidden somewhere on this colony.
And He Ming, who was beside her, was the same.
However, compared to CC, who needed to concentrate his spirit to awaken the psychoframe on the ZETA Gundam Unit 4, He Ming's situation was much easier.
With just a thought, Banshee Gundam, kneeling to one side, slowly stretched out her hands, grabbed the ZETA Unit 4 that was parked beside her in MA form, and quickly released the three floating shields hanging on her back. Following He Ming's instructions, she charged forward, heading straight for the location of He Ming and CC.
"The full-body psycho-frame is really convenient! Only a monster like you could control it so easily."
Sensing the information relayed from the ZETA Gundam Unit 4, CC abandoned the idea of remotely controlling the mobile suit.
Compared to native NEW TYPEs like He Ming and Amuro, CC, who, thanks to the gifts bestowed upon her by the C world, was able to control the psychoframe of the ZETA Gundam Unit 4 with the force of a flying brick, required a greater amount of mental and physical effort.
With the battle imminent, CC, wanting to save some energy, decisively handed over the ZETA Gundam Unit 4 to He Ming, asking him to bring it along.
"You can give it a try! After all, you have the CODE. Even if you get drained a few more times, you should be able to control the Banshee Gundam smoothly."
"You!! How could you curse me so viciously!"
CC stared wide-eyed in disbelief, pointing at He Ming and saying...
"This isn't a curse, it's just stating the facts. After obtaining the CODE, we're practically immortal. Dying occasionally is just adding some fun to life!"
Upon hearing He Ming's words, CC sneered a few times.
"If I didn't know you really disliked CODE, I would really think you were a pervert! Colonel Ming, the Federation Hero!"
"Heh! Look at what you're saying! I just haven't had the chance to experience the taste of death!"
He Ming shrugged, and as streams of light gradually flashed across his mask, the Banshee Gundam, carrying the ZETA Gundam Unit 4, burst out of the ground surrounded by three floating shields and landed in front of the two.
"Besides, I don't think the enemy attacking here can kill me!"
