After working hard for three days and three nights, Luo completed the final work and announced loudly that the repair work of the Baku aircraft was completed.
As soon as they heard Luo's cry, the men, women, and children nearby who had been paying attention to the restoration work from beginning to end burst into loud cheers.
It seems that this Baku will become their strongest weapon against ZAFT.
In fact, this is also true.
"Thank you! Luo!"
Lei Mingkai looked at the armor with obvious color differences on Baku's body and nodded with satisfaction.
"No. This is what I should do. If it hadn't been for those Baku standard parts that Kai you got, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to repair it in such a short period of time."
Luo understood that no matter how strong his skills were, he could only be blinded if he lacked parts. Therefore, he was not praised as lightly by Lei Mingkai as before.
"By the way, can Baku's standard parts be purchased in nearby towns?"
Sure enough, because he was too busy with the repair work, Luo still noticed the problem of the source of parts when he had some free time.
"No. It's just a moment of good luck! Okay, Luo, now that the work has been completed, you can go to Qisaka to settle the bill."
Lei Mingkai raised his hand and patted Luo's shoulder, trying to divert his attention.
Lei Mingkai's approach was successful.
With just a gentle word, Luo's attention immediately shifted from the parts to the reward.
"Oh! That's right! Now we are still short of money to buy a new HOME! I'll go there first! Kai, I'll talk to you later about the restart."
Even if his attention was diverted by the reward, Luo was still very persistent about the fact that Baku could still start up again when the power unit was damaged.
Because, while the restoration work was going on, Luo not only took advantage of his free time, but even asked his AI assistant Xiaoba to search for the records at that time in Baku's system.
As a result, the abnormal records were naturally found, but it was of no help to Luo's search for the truth.
"Type Zero! Luo is eyeing you."
Looking at Luo Xing's leaving figure, Lei Mingkai smiled slightly and did not forget to tease the white cat Zero.
"Let him find it! If he can find my existence, I lose!"
White Cat Zero's disdainful voice sounded in Lei Mingkai's mind.
In order to save energy as much as possible, the current White Cat Zero has even given up the image of a white cat that is usually shown to others, and follows Lei Mingkai with a shadow-like existence.
Baku, it has been fixed!
Next, is the final battle to leave this desert.
Lei Mingkai looked at the Dawn Desert members who had painted Baku in platinum, gold and red colors according to Lei Mingkai's idea, and nodded slightly.
Sunset and moonrise.
The desert is still the same desert.
But in this blazing desert, there is a white, gold and red Baku that is moving slowly along the edge of the desert, as if it is a beast patrolling its territory, focused and alert.
A pair of eyes looked through the telescope at the white Baku slowly patrolling along the edge of the desert from a distance.
"Like a lion patrolling its territory!"
Butterfield put down the telescope in his hand, threw it back, and fell silent.
Yesterday morning, Butterfield, who had just woken up, was interrupted by an urgent message before he had time to wash up.
It's Baku!
An unseen Baku was slowly advancing along the desert controlled by the ZAFT army led by Bart Field.
During this period, a Baku patrol team tried to intercept the Baku of unknown origin, but at the moment of interception, it was easily eliminated by the white Baku.
Strangely, the opponent did not kill all the Baku squad, but instead allowed the pilot to escape from the scrapped Baku.
After learning about this situation, Butterfield, the man known as the "Desert Tiger", already understood that the other party was inviting a fight.
Whether it was an encounter with the Baku reconnaissance team, or whether he deliberately held back and let people come back to report the news, there was one message.
The other party is waiting for me!
Waiting for the man named "Desert Tiger" to fight to the death!
Adjutant Martin expressed objections to this.
In his opinion, the white Baku that suddenly appeared and behaved strangely might be a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
As long as the Desert Tigers lead the team away from the base, the base's defense will inevitably decrease, and it is likely to be attacked by then.
"Wouldn't it be better to leave two Baku behind? Now the Earth United Army's gang of grandsons are running away under Gibraltar's attack!"
Butterfield didn't pay much attention to Adjutant Martin's concerns.
The hot breeze blew in his face, and Butterfield's mind gradually woke up from his memories.
In the increasingly clear sight, a white flash of light rose quietly from the layers of sand dunes in the distance, like a small sun.
"Andy! It's coming!"
Behind him, Elsa, who had already changed into a pilot uniform, softly called to Butterfield.
"Well! Here it comes!"
Butterfield suddenly laughed in his heart.
No matter what the result is today, the Desert Tiger will probably have a title that makes people laugh.
"Coward? Making a fuss out of a molehill?"
Various thoughts emerged one after another, but in the end they were all dispelled by Butterfield's cold snort.
"Martin! Start! Attack with all your strength!"
"yes!"
Martin, who had been following the Desert Tiger for a long time, and other subordinates responded loudly to the orders of their respected captain.
Rolling sand and dust rose into the sky, covering most of the small half of the sky.
Even from a long distance, you can already see the billowing sand and dust surging towards this side, as sharp as a death scythe slashing towards the target's neck.
"Lux! Are you ready?"
In the cockpit of the white Baku, Lei Mingkai looked seriously at the dust sweeping ahead.
"Yes. I'm ready! Let this battle be the key to Scandinavia! Kai."
The cockpit of the white Baku has been transformed from a single driver's seat into a double driver's seat under the secret operation of the White Cat Zero.
The person sitting in the back driver's seat was not the black-haired girl named Audrey Brittania, but a girl with long pink hair named Lux Klein who was wearing a formal suit.
She wanted to watch this battle from beginning to end with her own eyes and witness the thoughts of the man named Desert Tiger, Andy Butterfield.
Then, make the choice that she, Lux Klein, should make!
"boom!"
In the dust that filled the sky, two phantoms tore through the dust and headed straight to the location of the white Baku like lightning.
Facing the lightning-like attack, White Baku just bent his legs slightly and jumped to the left on the spot. When the attack landed on the sand and set off an explosion, he landed just right on the back of the sand dune on the left.
Use it as a barrier to withstand the blast wave.
"Sit down! Lux!"
When Lei Mingkai issued a loud reminder, Bai Baku jumped from running mode to crawler propulsion mode, and rushed forward to face the rolling sand and dust.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Without hesitation, the moment White Baku launched his impact, Lei Mingkai emptied all the ammunition in the missile pod carried by White Baku in one breath, then accelerated up to a sand dune, and used it as a pedal to rush in.
Among the billowing sand and dust.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The missile fired by White Baku plunged into the dust in the sky first, and in the next second set off a series of violent explosions that were enough to disperse the dust in the sky.
Amid the roaring explosions,
In the shock wave that hit the surrounding sand dunes and dust wantonly,
The Baku led by Butterfield finally revealed themselves.
In the flickering firelight, the white Baku flew over the top of a Baku like an eagle with spread wings. A huge black shadow suddenly fell down, heavily pressing the unfortunate Baku onto the sand.
.
"It's a missile pod! Quick! Get out of Baku!"
Martin, who was closer to the unfortunate Baku plane, shouted loudly to the pilot to get out of the cockpit immediately.
"boom!"
The pilot's speed was very fast, but before the pilot could jump into the nearest sand pit, the explosion caused by the missile pod swept the entire scene.
dazzling firelight,
The deafening sound of the explosion suddenly became the master of this sand dune, dispersing most of the sand and dust that had previously been enough to submerge this sand dune, so that the Baku could no longer rely on the cover of sand and dust to surround the white Baku.
Chase.
"Pilot inventory, confirm! Captain!"
Seeing the pilot struggling out from under the dune, Martin breathed a sigh of relief and sent a report to Butterfield.
"Well! It seems that our opponent has given us a blow!"
Among the dispersed sand and dust, a machine with a triangular shape, orange paint all over its body, and two beam cannons on its back. Its shape was three-quarters more fierce than Baku's, standing condescendingly on a higher sand dune.
Looking down at the white Baku.
"Lakko. Andy Butterfield, the vehicle of the Desert Tiger. Lux, be careful!"
With Lakou at the top and White Baku at the bottom, Lei Mingkai's eyes became particularly solemn.
This is the first time that Lei Mingkai faces the world's ace Ace.
On the other side, on the other side of the dune where there was a fierce battle.
The Dawn Desert led by Sebu is marching towards the base camp of the "Desert Tiger" along the pre-determined hidden route.
This is the strategy formulated by Lei Mingkai to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west.
But on a deeper level, Lei Mingkai asked Luo and Yamabuki Juri from the recycling house.
"Just on guard?"
Luo was very confused when he accepted Lei Mingkai's commission.
"Yes! As long as ZAFT's MS does not appear, you are just watching from the sidelines. But after ZAFT's MS appears, I hope you can contain ZAFT's MS."
