Chapter 79: Eve of the Plot

Human Reform League, BJ Military Region, 168MS Mixed Brigade unit station, MS combat training ground.

Two military green Ground Type Tierens were relying on the undulating sand dune terrain, moving to find advantageous terrain while looking for opportunities to shoot at opponents.

Two 200x25mm smoothbore cannons roared continuously, raising countless dust in the training ground.

After a period of shooting, one of the Tierens prioritized occupying the advantageous terrain. This Tieren relied on the advantageous terrain and shield as cover to suppress the Tieren moving on the opposite side.

The suppressed Tieren launched a counterattack, dodged the opponent's suppression first-hand shot with a feint, and then hit the Tieren on the advantageous terrain with a precise shot, but the paint left a trace on the shield and was not judged by the referee as shooting down the enemy machine.

And the Tieren hit on the advantageous terrain calmly added a shot, accurately hitting the chest of the Tieren below.

The referee judged it as shot down, and the battle ended.

The battle ended, and the two Tierens began to return to their respective hangars under the control of the pilots.

After the two Tierens stopped at various positions under the command of the maintenance personnel, the Tieren hit in the chest opened the cockpit door first, and Shihe, in a Human Reform League pilot suit, walked out of the cockpit door and stepped on the lifting pedal to the ground.

And Li Boyong got off the Tieren hit in the shield. He smiled at Shihe, made a victory gesture, and then squeezed his eyes and said: "A bet is a bet, don't forget what you promised me."

"No... I didn't promise such a thing..."

Shihe retorted with a slightly red face, thinking of Li Boyong's shameless request, she felt shy.

But she still pretended to be calm and explained, "This doesn't count, this is my first battle on the ground, and Tieren's OS is too terrible. I'll come back to compare after I improve it next time."

Saying that, Shihe ignored Li Boyong's shouting and walked away without looking back.

Watching Shihe leave, Li Boyong didn't chase after her.

Some things still need some sentiment, and cannot rely on forced means.

It's just that for the next battle, he might not be so sure.

You know, as Shihe said, he was bullying Shihe for having no ground combat experience and not being used to the operating system this time.

After all, to be honest, Shihe's comprehensive attributes are better than his.

Shihe Hanifusi (Coordinator)

Combat: 64

Shooting: 76

Reaction: 93

Will: 76

Skill: Shooter (improves hit rate when using shooting weapons)

Beam Weapon Researcher (Thorough understanding of beam weapons, reduces consumption when using beam weapons)

Title: Battlefield Balsam (Slightly increases accuracy and evasion when fighting in space)

At a glance, the comprehensive attributes were superior to his own, and the skills and titles were also relatively reliable.

But he could win, and it was all thanks to the land combat experience accumulated during the Third Victoria Battle.

As for the operating system, although he wasn't very accustomed to it, at least the various settings matched the reaction speed of a Natural like him.

But for Shihe, who was a Coordinator, it was a bit different.

Li Boyong smacked his lips and began to arrange the cleaning and maintenance work for the machines with the maintenance crew.

By the time he finished arranging things, the sunset was already hanging over the top of the base.

It was mealtime, so Li Boyong walked toward the cafeteria, collected his tray, and found Shihe, who had already taken a shower.

The two chatted about the Tieren while eating dinner.

During the meal, Li Boyong noticed the male soldiers around them glancing at Shihe from time to time.

He felt a bit dissatisfied, yet also slightly proud.

As a Coordinator, Shihe's appearance was undoubtedly very beautiful, and coupled with the aloof temperament of a researcher and pilot, it gave the eighteen-year-old a coldness that was untouchable amidst her youthful cuteness.

If the Human Reform League's uniform weren't so ugly, Shihe would definitely have attracted even more attention.

And such a beautiful girl was already Li Boyong's girl, which made him very proud, and he ate with such gusto that it made Shihe frown and tap his tray.

After dinner, seeing the ripple in Li Boyong's eyes, Shihe knew he was probably up to no good, so she hurriedly cleaned up and slipped back to the female barracks.

Seeing this, Li Boyong didn't pester her shamelessly; after all, this was a military base, and entering the female barracks privately was a violation of discipline.

Moreover, he could understand that Shihe was still a bit unaccustomed and nervous after just arriving in a new world.

But as a man, he believed he should still show the attitude he ought to show; as long as he didn't push too hard, he could give Shihe a signal that she wasn't alone in this strange world.

That night, Li Boyong returned to his dormitory.

After lights out, Li Boyong lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Every time he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but think of that cruel war again.

The Second Battle of Jachin Due was truly a grueling fight.

Although he had managed to keep his life and successfully shot and killed the Niaoren.

But the battlefield changed in an instant, which led to Natarle ultimately suffering a gunshot wound, forcing him to abandon the plan to control the Dominion.

The subsequent battles were even further beyond his imagination; he sent Natarle to the Archangel and went out to fight in the Strike Dagger himself.

Wave after wave of enemies made him exhausted while piloting the Strike Dagger, and even after joining forces with Shihe to shoot down the Raider, they both lost their machines and drifted in space.

With no rescue and no oxygen, relying entirely on the system's pity, he succeeded in taking Shihe out of that predicament at the last moment.

Yet he ultimately failed to take Natarle with him, and he didn't even know if she was still alive.

If she survived, Li Boyong was also very worried about whether she, as the captain of the Dominion, would be implicated by his act of shooting the Niaoren, and whether she would receive protection from the Three Ships Alliance.

Thinking and thinking, he thought of the world he was in, the world of Gundam 00.

Li Boyong didn't know the specific time when Celestial Being would appear, and his memory of the specific plot of Gundam 00 had become a bit blurry.

But at least for now, there was no information about Celestial Being appearing in front of the public, which probably meant that the main plot of Gundam 00 hadn't officially started yet.

And he and Shihe were now MS pilots for the Human Reform League; he had considered how to get involved with Celestial Being these past few days, but he hadn't had any leads.

First of all, as someone who knew that the ESU was about to invade, he was relatively supportive of Celestial Being's philosophy.

Ending war and such was ultimately just Celestial Being's superficial goal; Aeolia Schenberg's ultimate goal was to provide an opportunity for humanity to establish a unified government to deal with the upcoming dialogue with extraterrestrial life, or to resist it.

Secondly, to be honest, he had a good impression of some members of the Celestial Being organization and was willing to provide limited help within his capabilities.

Finally, as a grunt, he hoped to have the chance to obtain a machine equipped with a GN Drive; otherwise, always letting him and Shihe go to the battlefield in a Tieren really made him feel uneasy.
