Chapter 364: Alarm from the Moon

Over here, after resolving so many issues, He Kui had already boarded the shuttlecraft back to the asteroid.

"He Kui."

Still sitting together with Meyrin, but after their more intimate interactions, He Kui had made some progress compared to before.

His hand was directly placed on Meyrin's delicate thigh.

"This isn't appropriate!"

Meyrin felt He Kui's movement and placed her hand on his wrist.

"I'm just checking on Meyrin's injury~"

He Kui whispered softly in Meyrin's ear, and then, as if it wasn't enough, he left a moist mark on the girl's earlobe.

"Injury."

Quickly understanding what He Kui meant by injury, Meyrin's face flushed even more.

"It's… it's already healed!"

Meyrin hurriedly replied.

"Is that so?"

"Then why is Meyrin's face so red?"

Hearing He Kui's feigned ignorance, Meyrin wanted to get angry, but her glare at He Kui quickly turned weak.

"Alright, wait for me tonight."

As the ship was about to reach the asteroid, He Kui returned to his serious demeanor, while Meyrin still looked adorably flushed.

Ten days passed swiftly.

Before long, He Kui had remotely prepared the Mobile Suit backpacks for both of them on the asteroid.

They were much larger than the usual MS, but that was unavoidable since the Mobile Suit itself was somewhat outdated.

To enhance the performance of the Mobile Suit, aside from completely replacing the internals, the only option was to make the Mobile Suit larger.

Of course, they weren't leaving so soon; after all, they needed to adapt to the new equipment before heading to the battlefield.

After saying goodbye to the excited Dearka and the still confused Nicol, He Kui continued to stay on his asteroid to study nanotechnology.

Recently, the battlefield with the Atlantic Federation had stabilized again.

The Atlantic Federation might be waiting for the Neutron Jammer, while ZAFT was undoubtedly waiting for Genesis and researching new countermeasures against nuclear bombs.

However, so far, everyone had not made much progress. He Kui remembered something called the Neutron Jumper, but he didn't have much insight into it.

After all, while some knowledge about it was part of his past research, he couldn't create it without the main technological data.

Amidst this strange peace, He Kui's wristband suddenly vibrated urgently.

"…"

Feeling the strong frequency of the vibration, He Kui jumped out of bed.

"I'll go out first."

After quickly telling the two, He Kui hurried towards the radar room.

This vibration frequency indicated the most urgent events from Aegis or other machines.

Aside from life-threatening situations or if someone invaded his estate in South America, it wouldn't go off otherwise.

But if it was the estate, why hadn't Ailina told him?

Could it be Flay's little bird?

Without time for He Kui to think further, he quickly reached the radar.

There were no issues with Aegis in Orb or South America, but the problem arose unexpectedly on the Moon.

His Black Communication Haro, given to Hoss, was now blaring alarms, and the Mobile Suit Hoss was piloting was also sounding alarms everywhere.

Fortunately, the main frame was still intact; it seemed Hoss had just fainted. However, He Kui looked outside through the cockpit display.

Without a doubt, the fierce battlefield was outside the Moon, and if he remembered correctly, the location was near their mining site.

The refinery had been completed and was starting a week of trial operations.

However, it appeared that their mining site was under attack by special forces from the Atlantic Federation.

They were clearly at a disadvantage; although his Red Uniform Squad and other defenders were fighting back, it was evident they couldn't hold out for long. The reason for this problem was that person.

From the monitor, He Kui could see the unusually active Dagger series equipped with Wired Guided Cannons entangled with his squad.

Lunar Mad Dog, it was indeed still here.

Heaving a sigh, He Kui's mind raced.

Due to the powerful impact, Hoss seemed to have fainted, and thanks to the Mirage particles from Haro, he had temporarily disappeared from the enemy's sight.

For the moment, no one came to finish them off.

But this small Haro's energy couldn't support invisibility for long.

Only one minute of invisibility remained.

They were still far from the rear; there was no way to run back.

Moreover, this Mirage particles was just a one-time film composed of particles ejected from Haro, and once he left this area, he would still be discovered.

Since that was the case, while still invisible, He Kui quickly checked the Mobile Suit.

A low-spec Gells-R, with only the right hand's Offense Shield System remaining.

Both legs and the left hand were gone, the main monitor was half-destroyed, and the cockpit had damage from blunt force attacks.

The metal panel of the cockpit was almost kicked open.

This injury was likely what caused Hoss to faint.

From the look of the injury, it seemed to have directly faced the rabid dog.

Then, in close quarters, he was probably kicked in the cockpit.

One had to say, the rabid dog's strength was indeed high; with spatial recognition ability, he had many advantages over elite pilots.

If He Kui hadn't also possessed spatial recognition ability back then, he might have been left behind.

However, given the current state of the Mobile Suit, he couldn't win either.

But if they lost this mining site, his employees would be in danger. Just waking up to face a life-or-death situation, He Kui's gaze was filled with resentment.

Let's give it a shot! Drive away the Lunar Mad Dog on the opposite side.

First, he needed to take out the artillery.

He just hoped he wouldn't blow up the GAT-X this time.

Thinking this, He Kui looked at the still unconscious Hoss.

In the past, it didn't matter if it blew up, but this time Hoss was here.

As the time for the Mirage particles was reaching its limit, He Kui didn't go full throttle; instead, he pretended to be a corpse and slowly drifted towards the Lunar Mad Dog.

Although the lack of leg thrusters slowed him down a bit, and maneuvers were more sluggish, it was still within an acceptable range.

But saving energy was key.

Perhaps due to his impressive corpse-dragging skills, he managed to drift to the edge of the battlefield without being noticed.

However, this method wouldn't work for long; this was just a small-scale skirmish, and a GAT-X was still too conspicuous. Before long, a Moebius had locked onto him.

Not intending to tangle with the Moebius, He Kui quickly activated the already warmed-up Mobile Suit, and then the rear thrusters powered up, rushing towards the rabid dog.

"Captain! A GAT-X is heading towards you!"

"Second squad, intercept."

The GAT-X pilot glanced at the photo sent by his teammate and ignored it. Mainly, this Mobile Suit only had one arm and half a head left; it didn't look like it had any combat capability.

Moreover, he had just engaged with the pilot, wh

o was only at the elite green uniform level.

"Understood."

Receiving the order, a Dagger series and three Moebius formed a squad and rushed towards He Kui.
