Chapter 127

Pacific, a certain small island.

Li Boyong was communicating with Wang Liumei, "In short, the sequence of events is roughly like this: the ambush was very successful, and with Angel's help, we shot down one Throne, captured one Throne, and took Nena Trinity prisoner."

"Although one escaped, it seems the operation was quite successful; so, can the captured Gundam be used?"

Wang Liumei asked; today she had changed into a sailor suit, as cute and beautiful as ever.

"Shihe is changing the operating system; according to her, it might take some time, but it's not a big problem."

Li Boyong replied.

"That is truly a cause for celebration."

Wang Liumei congratulated him with a smile, but in reality, her heart could not help but ripple slightly.

To think Li Boyong actually managed to do it...

Although he had the help of the Goddess Gundam, he achieved such results with only two Flags.

This man is simply terrifying.

"By the way, what's the situation on your end?"

Li Boyong asked.

"Rest assured, the Human Reform League can be considered my territory; I guarantee the Observers won't find any evidence unfavorable to me." Wang Liumei looked proud, "Now that the Trinity's combat power has been weakened to the extreme, as long as Veda doesn't directly issue a clear order, the four Gundam Meisters on Ptolemaios won't list me as a target for armed intervention, so I am safe."

"Don't be too confident." Li Boyong reminded her: "Don't forget, the appearance of the Trinity means there is a traitor within Celestial Being; having suffered such losses, that guy won't let you off easily."

Originally, Li Boyong wanted to point out Alejandro Kona as the mastermind directly.

But clearly, the system did not allow Li Boyong to do so, almost crushing Li Boyong's little heart.

"Rest assured, everything is under my control." Wang Liumei did not take Li Boyong's reminder to heart.

She did not know the preparations Alejandro Kona had made in secret, nor the power of that permission-dog by his side.

After a pause, she continued: "I have already communicated with Sumeragi; she seems to intend to also classify the Trinity as a target for conflict assistance and will not pursue our actions, but because of this, the Celestial Being organization already shows signs of internal division; I am very curious about what kind of changes will occur in the world in the future?"

Li Boyong sighed in his heart; this black-bellied loli's obsession with world change is truly too deep.

But this time, she was indeed on his side; regardless of whether it was for her own interests or truly for Shihe, it made Li Boyong cast aside some of his previous prejudices against her.

If... she really encounters danger, let's save her...

I, Li Boyong, am not an ungrateful person.

Hmm... at least for the sake of the sailor suit...

Isn't that right?

"By the way, how is that prisoner? Can you get anything out of her?" Wang Liumei asked again.

Li Boyong shrugged, "After all, I can be considered the enemy who killed her brother; she is very stubborn. And Shihe won't let me use torture, so I have no way."

"Then, I will send people to receive her; Hong Long should be able to pry her mouth open." Wang Liumei said: "You follow the plan and take the machine to another hidden base I have arranged; you can get supplies there."

"Understood." Li Boyong hung up the communication.

He then walked to the side of the Throne Drei and said to Nena, who was tied up like a zongzi: "You heard what was just said; if you don't speak now, what awaits you won't be such gentle questioning."

Nena looked up at Li Boyong, her eyes full of hatred, "You are the enemy who killed my brother; don't even think about knowing anything from my mouth."

That hateful gaze, like a demon from the depths of hell appearing on a young girl's face, really gave Li Boyong a feeling of horror.

Honestly, he kind of wanted to just kill her.

It's just that he hadn't asked for the specific location of the Trinity's lair, so he was a bit reluctant.

After all, the usable compressed particles for the Drei shouldn't be much, and neither he nor Wang Liumei had supply equipment to recharge the GN Drive Tau.

Yes, unlike the permanent energy of the original GN Drive, the usable time of the GN Drive Tau, although much longer than mass-produced machines, still requires resupply.

Seeing Nena's uncooperative attitude, Li Boyong sighed; it seems he can only leave it to Hong Long.

Didn't expect human-shaped Gundams to be so versatile, even knowing how to interrogate.

Complaining in his heart, Li Boyong confirmed again that Nena, tied up like a zongzi, had no possibility of escaping, then climbed to the cockpit door of the Drei in a few leaps and asked Shihe, who was still changing the system inside: "Thanks for your hard work, how much more time is needed?"

"The pilot we captured can unlock the machine's biological authentication. It's just that Veda's control is too comprehensive; I plan to completely discard the original system and use the ZAFT OS I recompiled, but this way I won't be able to get Veda's operational assistance." Shihe answered without raising her head, clearly busy with the OS replacement, "And if that's the case, you might not be able to use this machine smoothly."

"That's exactly what I want; after all, no one knows if Veda will leave a backdoor in the operating system, and that thing is clearly unreliable now." Li Boyong smiled and said: "Leaving this machine for you to pilot is exactly what I want; I'm still more comfortable driving a Flag."

"Alright." Shihe nodded, "It will take about six more hours; I'll leave the vigilance during this time to you."

"It's already shorter than expected." Li Boyong replied.

Saying this, he left the Throne, climbed onto Shihe's Flag, and entered standby mode.

No choice, after all, the Flag is just an ordinary mass-produced machine; in the previous battle, although it exerted strong combat power under his ability-enhanced operation, the wear and tear on each joint and power nozzle was also astonishing.

Now, the joints of his Flag had already shown relatively serious deformation, especially the right foot that had kicked the Gundam, which was basically in a scrapped state.

So he could only use Shihe's Flag now.

It's just that the situation of Shihe's Flag was not optimistic either; the machine's condition could not be considered good, and the defense rod on the right arm had been smashed.

After all, it was a battle against a Gundam!

On the other side, after Wang Liumei hung up the communication.

Hong Long, who was guarding on the side, asked: "Is this okay? Our behavior might to some extent deepen the internal division of Celestial Being, and the Observers..."

"No problem!" Wang Liumei interrupted Hong Long's worry unceremoniously and said with disdain: "Brother, you just lack the capacity, that's why..."

Speaking of this, Wang Liumei remembered Hong Long's care for her when she was young, so she said no more.

She sighed, then slowed her tone and said gently: "The GN Drive, that is an extremely important part of Aeolia Schenberg's plan; if we can possess this technology, wouldn't it be better?"

"Hong Long, I still feel that the world's change is too slow; why can't we speed up this pace?"

After Wang Liumei took a light sip of the black tea Hong Long brewed, she put down the teacup and said faintly: "Perhaps the origins of Shihe and the others are indeed unclear, but so what? Li Boyong has already proven to me that he also has the ability to change the world, so what is wrong with me cooperating with him?"
