Chapter 82: Every Dog Has His Day
4
Miss Friday had left for a few days, and Ade’s life returned to the two-person, no, man-machine world with Alice again. Alice was unusually happy and talked especially a lot these days.
0
Because Miss Friday ate a lot, plus Ade also gave her extra meals from time to time, which led to his food stock planning being completely disrupted. After she left, Ade had been working hard to find food around the island to stock up on more food.
0
When Miss Friday was here, he slept in the cockpit every day, which made him have a backache, now he can finally return to his longed-for bed and take a nap every day. This day, just when he was dreaming, his phone suddenly rang loudly. He opened his eyes, and what he saw was Alice’s panicked look on the screen, “Ade, high energy response approaching, presumably three MSs.”
0
He bounced out of bed at once, three MSs, it might be TITANS’s Hambrabi squad.
0
“What is Scirocco doing? Does he expect such a small squad could find anything?” He muttered and rolled out of bed, picking up his phone and sprinting in the direction of Hyzenthlays.
0
The three MA-form Hamblabis flew past before he got into the cockpit, but just in case, he was still in the cockpit on standby. However, something weird happened. Just a dozen seconds later, the other side turned back and the three MSs scattered around the island to start a search.
0
“It doesn’t make sense.” Ade was puzzled, “How come they suddenly saw me?”
0
“Ade, one MS approaching in.” Alice marked a high-energy reaction source on the map, “We’ll be spotted sooner or later at this altitude, want to go up?”
0
Hyzenthlays was not originally designed for intra-atmospheric combat, and now its Minovsky floating system is broken, it can only run and jump on the ground as a target. He lost most of the weapons when he fall into the atmosphere, now the only weapons he had were only one long-bladed rifle and one beam saber.
0
“Let’s sneak attack one first, at least it’s less stressful.” He adjusted VSBR’s power to maximum, “Let’s hope its pilot isn’t too alert.”
0
As that Hambrabi got closer and closer, he held his breath to gently put his finger on the trigger. Every now and then the other party adjusted his stance to look in a different direction, and just as the other party turned his back on him, the high-energy particle beam was shot out. At this critical moment, that Hambrabi suddenly made an evasive maneuver, and this sniping hit the empty space.
0
“Crap, an ACE.” Ade couldn’t help but exclaim his bad luck. “Is Scirocco so extravagant? He even sent an ACE to perform such a mission!”
0
Hambrabi quickly pulled up in altitude and retreated backward, while the other two MSs also flew to him in a flash. Ade had no choice but to turn on the public channel and use his ultimate skill, “I, Suzaku Kururugi, don’t kill nameless people. Who are you? Give me your name!”
0
“Yazan Gable of TITANS, remember me well.” The other party replied as Ade expected, “Suzaku Kururugi is already a Knight of the Round Table, do you think I’ll believe such nonsense? You’re Adrien Lingus, right?”
0
“What? Kururugi is already a Knight of the Round Table? What has happened this year?” Ade held back from shouting out and said instead, “Are you Colonel Scirocco’s beloved man, Yazan, who is known as TITANS Beast?”
0
He remembered that Britannia is just across the sea, so he tried to pretend to be Kururugi to distract them, but he did not expect that Kururugi had become so famous now. His trick was like moving a stone to hit his own feet in this situation. What’s worse is that Yazan directly turned off the public channel and didn’t intend to chat with him at all.
0
“My MS is no match for his.” Ade sighed with a headache, “And as a top ACE, even trash talks can’t distract him. How am I going to defeat such an enemy?”
0
The three Hamblabis lined up in the air and had no intention of landing. Each Hambrabi had two beam cannons on board and held a beam rifle, the three MSs firing intensively at Hyzenthlays. Ade could only lift the beam shield, evading on the ground with the remaining thrusters and occasionally taking time to return fire.
0
“I always relied on Inle’s firepower, but I never thought there would be a day I had to dodge the enemy’s firepower. Crap.” He moved around and tried his best to dodge the attacks, while the other side could fire at him from the sky at ease, “Alice, estimate their remaining ammunition and energy. The floating system is so energy-intensive, they can’t fly forever, right?”
0
“His Gundam is still not flying by now, so his floating system is probably broken. You guys, keep a safe distance and don’t approach.” Yazan calmly commanded his two men through the friendly channel, “He shouldn’t know that we already have nuclear power, and is probably still foolishly waiting for us to land.”
0
“But his beam shields and armor are tricky.” One of the men asked, “I don’t know when we’ll be able to blow it up this way.”
0
“What’s the hurry? It’s Lingus’ Gundam after all, let’s play it safe.” Yazan immediately made the best choice, “Prepare for a protracted battle, take turns shooting to consume his physical energy and will. There is a 90% chance that we can capture him alive.”
0
Ade immediately noticed that Hambrabi’s firepower thinned, and after observing for some time, he found that the opposite side was actually taking turns to rest. He tried to return fire more aggressively under such fire, but Hambrabi’s mobility was good, and the opponent also hid very far away, every of his shot was evaded.
0
As time went by, Ade’s spirit was worn down little by little. Now the situation has become the two sides are shooting at each other from far away, but in general, Ade was more tired.
0
“This is going to be a protracted battle?” He exclaimed, “Has Scirocco got nuclear power?!”
0
“Ade, what to do?” Alice’s voice was overwhelmed with anxiety, “We’ll be consumed at this rate.”
0
“There’s no way out, it’s time to fight for physical strength and energy.” Ade gritted his teeth, “My body is comparable to Coordinator’s, and I just had lunch and a nap. They flew all the way to this island without resting. We still have a chance of winning.”
0
So the two sides stood off from each other. As the sun began to set toward the west, after several hours of continuous confrontation, Ade found his attention began to lose focus. The opponent, on the other hand, was definitely in a much better mental state than he was because they could take turns.
0
“Ade, it’s all my fault.” Alice’s voice sounded heartbreaking, “If only I were more useful, if only the auto-battle AI was stronger, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s all my fault.”
0
“How can it be Alice’s fault? It’s only my programming level that’s too rookie.” He comforted her, “Put on some music to cheer me up. There’s still hope, don’t give up.”
0
“Yeah.” Alice agreed listlessly and was about to play the song when she suddenly exclaimed, “Energy response approaching in! Only one object, so fast!”
