The smell of danger came unabashedly from the front.
Everyone's nerves were already tense, staring closely at the dim tunnel ahead.
Along the way, they saw too many wrecks lying on the road.
There are BETAs whose flesh and blood are mutilated and have lost all life reflexes, and there are Earth Federation MSs that have been destroyed to pieces.
Even though the ground was covered with blood, there were still corpses burning with raging fire. It was not difficult to see from the remains of the mobile suit that a fierce battle had already broken out here before Lei Mingkai and others arrived here.
"It's the MS belonging to the hunter team, as well as other MS teams that came to support."
Ren saw the identities of these soldiers who died in bloody battles with BETA from the icons on the MS wreckage that were partially covered with stains.
"Hunter Team."
Lei Mingkai pondered for a moment.
"Keep going. Captain Liddy, is there anything unusual on your side?"
Liddy shook his head.
Although the Banshee temporarily shut down the NTD system and returned to its normal form, it was still able to provide Riddhe with powerful psychic powers.
Judging from Liddy's mental perception, there is nothing unusual here.
Except for the front, the oncoming dangerous aura almost suffocates ordinary humans.
After Lei Mingkai and Hathaway exchanged glances across the screen, they continued to advance deeper into the tunnel in a formation with the Corsi Gundam in front and the other mobile suits in the back.
The deeper you go, the more corpses and wreckage you see.
Suddenly, Koxi Gundam sent a signal to stop advancing.
The MS following behind separated one after another, occupying favorable positions, and alerting themselves to possible surprise attacks in the surrounding area.
Hathaway was stopped by Lei Mingkai.
"Mafti, come over here and take a look. He's from Ornbeli."
This is the squad channel to which the Mesa squad belongs.
Hathaway was stunned for a moment, and after taking a look at the Banshee who saw nothing strange, he drove the Purple Mesa to the side of Kexi Gundam.
Several interceptor classes that had been chopped to pieces by the particle beam sword fell to the side of the tunnel.
And from among the bloody corpses, a section of dark green armor was stubbornly sticking out from the corpses.
Coupled with the distress signal received by Purple Mesa, the mobile suit pressed beneath these corpses is probably Ornbeli's mobile suit, Gaplan.
Hathaway was silent for a moment and looked at Lei Mingkai's profile picture.
"Let's take a look."
Lei Mingkai nodded.
Koxi Gundam stepped forward, reached out and tore apart the corpses of the interceptor-class BETAs, and threw them aside, revealing the broken armor covered by the piles of flesh and blood.
Looking at the broken armor on the screen, one can imagine Gaplan's ending.
Except for the head and the upper half of the chest, which were still intact, the rest was almost destroyed to pieces.
The dark green steel armor had long been shattered, revealing the underlying skeleton, internal parts, and the reactor filled with cracks.
"Is the MS on Ornberry's side still alive?"
The movements of the Corsi Gundam could not be concealed, and the Banshee also captured the subtle distress signal.
"I'm afraid it won't work."
Koxi Gundam raised his hand to brush away a piece of flesh and blood pressed against the cockpit, and then saw the outer armor that had been smashed into by heavy objects.
Judging from the appearance alone, the dented outer armor almost sealed the cockpit.
Although Gaplan's cockpit is designed with the protection standard of double armored protective doors.
But now, the cockpit, which is sealed by the outer armor that is supposed to protect itself, can be declared to be the pilot's coffin.
"Let's go! Time is running out."
The danger is already at hand.
Lei Mingkai and others can no longer stay.
In the dark, an urgent, almost breathless sense of oppression is approaching.
If the delay continues like this, even if Lei Mingkai doesn't know what exists in the deepest part of the underground tunnel, he can already foresee some ominous scenes.
The low roar of the Minovsky flight system sounded again.
This improvised assault force once again launched an attack deep into the underground passage.
corpse,
The wreckage of the MS,
Even after breaking through a pile of rubble blocking the passage, a huge pothole suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Bright sunlight casts down from the top of the pit, completely presenting the situation at the bottom of the pit before Lei Mingkai and others' eyes.
broken land,
Broken, armor fragments scattered to the surrounding corners,
And at the front, the ferocious body lying next to the passage that was half buried by rubble.
"Nidhogg?!"
As soon as he saw the ferocious body as huge as a mobile suit, Lei Mingkai recognized its origin at a glance.
"Over there, there are some over there too."
Gaouman, who had been keeping quiet, suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Jiawuman and found a mass of flesh and blood that had been melted by the high temperature, but the general outline could still be seen.
"Second Nidhogg?"
Before Lei Mingkai could be surprised, Koxi Gundam sounded a piercing alarm sound.
The radiation concentration from the outside world far exceeds the concentration that the human body can withstand.
Even the pilot uniforms they were wearing could only allow them to move around here for a period of time before they had to return to the cockpit with better protective equipment.
"Self-destruction? Moreover, it's not like a mobile suit will self-destruct."
Liddy, who had personally experienced the Turlington offensive and defensive battle, recalled a key point made by the three consecutive stars when summarizing the offensive and defensive battle.
That is, when a certain Zaku from the Zeon remnant party faced defeat, he chose to detonate the reactor.
Although it was stopped by the Three Stars in time, it was still included in the report. And now, don’t the MS debris scattered around happen to come from Zaku?
In this regard, Liddy shared his guess with Remingkai and Hathaway, and got the correct answer.
In fact, when Lei Mingkai and Hathaway saw the ending of Gaplan not long ago, they already knew the fate of Ornbeli's MS team.
"Self-destruction?"
Although Hathaway's face was calm, there was a ripple in his heart.
Driving an antique mobile suit from the One Year War era and the TTS era, I am afraid that when facing the zerg enemies from the stars, I am already powerless, but even so, those veterans who have come through the cruel battlefield are still able to
In this way, you will perish together with your enemy.
"Buzz!"
A beam of light pulled everyone back from their thoughts.
Seeing Nidhogg lying at the entrance of the passage half-buried by sand and gravel, turning into ashes all over the sky, Lei Mingkai pulled the trigger.
Kexi's two MEGA particle cannons fired suddenly, blowing away all the sand and gravel that buried the passage.
As the rolling sand and stones scattered around, a terrifying murderous aura surged out from the inside of the passage like a tsunami, rushing towards Lei Mingkai and others with the overwhelming force of a mountain.
"snort!!"
Ren and Gaoman let out a painful groan, and their faces became very painful.
At this moment, the Banshee automatically activated the NTD mode, protecting Riddhe's spirit.
But even so, Liddy's face turned pale.
"How...enemy?!"
Hathaway felt a sharp pain in his head and looked in agony.
But at the next moment, a pair of looming hands fell from the void and gently wrapped around Hassawi's neck.
"Don't worry! Hathaway. I'm here!"
Then, the looming right hand was raised and pointed forward, pointing at the Koxi Gundam who had unknowingly pulled out the beam sword blade and slashed at the terrifying murderous intent that was coming like a tsunami.
"Look! He is right there!"
Miraculously, with the slashing of Kesi Gundam, the terrifying murderous aura disappeared completely in the blink of an eye, leaving only the sunlight still scattered from the top of the pit illuminating this cruel underground battlefield.
"Can you still fight? If you can still fight, follow up! The enemy is very strong, but it's the end!"
