Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2085 Mobilization!

"Welcome! You two little ones who followed the pioneers."

When the enormous Queen Vajura appeared before Lapis, the little girl's eyes widened in surprise. She stared blankly at the Queen Vajura, whose full form would have been completely obscured if she hadn't bent down.

"Hehe! Did my appearance scare the little ones?"

Queen Vajura made a rare little joke.

Lapis, regaining her senses, quickly released her embrace, letting the baby Vajura land on the ground. As she did so, she waved her little hands and gestured for a while before finally stammering out her words.

"Wow...wow...big, many times bigger than the Hugh Chalis."

"Of course. Queen Vajura is much older than us."

He Ming raised his hand and stroked Lapis's little head, pondering deeply.

"If we were to follow the human hierarchy, Queen Vajura would probably have to be called the Ancestor."

"Hehe! Pioneer, you flatter me. Actually, if we convert it to human age, I should be considered to be in my prime. There's no need for the term 'ancestor'."

As Queen Vajra explained, she led He Ming, Hoshino Ruri, and Lapis onto the floating platform, bringing them to her presence.

"Previously, Miss Lin Mingmei and Miss Jin Gang had already come to inform us to prepare for a threat from outside the solar system. Now that the Pioneers have come here in person, what do they need us to do?"

“Yes, I need Her Majesty the Queen’s help, or rather, I need the help of the entire Vajura race.”

He Ming nodded and extended his right hand, clenching it into a fist.

"We may have found a way to restore the solar system to normal."

A sudden roaring sound arrived.

It turned out to be Queen Vajura swaying her body slightly.

Clearly, He Ming's words surprised the Vajura Queen.

"Is that so? Then, I will obey the pioneer's command. I will ensure that my offspring are prepared to cooperate with the pioneer."

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty!"

"No. This is what we should do."

He Ming never expected things to go so smoothly.

After merely explaining the situation, Queen Vajura granted his request without hesitation.

In this way, the mission to restore the chaotic solar system to normal has taken its first step.

Seeing that there was still some time to spare, He Ming was no longer in a hurry to rush to the fleet. Instead, he chose to stay with Hoshino Ruri and Lapis with Queen Vajra, allowing Lapis to fully experience the enthusiasm from the Vajra cubs.

"Ah! Don't fight!! Everyone has snacks!!"

Looking at the Vajra cubs surrounding her, eagerly watching her pull out snacks from her little bag, a bright smile involuntarily appeared on Lapis's face.

Especially when the baby Vajura were playing the game where Lapis tossed the snacks into the air and they jumped up to grab them, Hoshino Ruri, who was watching from the side, seemed to be getting a little restless.

"Go ahead! Play as much as you want! We still have plenty of time."

He Ming smiled, gently patted Hoshino Ruri's head, and stuffed several small bags of snacks into her arms, indicating that she should go and help Lapis. Otherwise, judging from the pitiful amount of snacks in Lapis's little bag, it probably wouldn't be enough to feed the ever-growing number of Vajra cubs.

"Then I'll go too, brother!"

Hoshino Ruri narrowed her eyes, revealed a smile, and walked over with cheerful steps.

Amidst bursts of laughter and chatter, more Vajra cubs gathered around Hoshino Ruri and Lapis, waiting to be fed, making the two girls laugh even more heartily.

As dusk fell, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, He Ming carried Lapis, who had fallen asleep after playing, and held Hoshino Ruri's little hand as they headed towards the F Fleet, which they hadn't visited in a long time.

President Howard, who had already received the news, had been waiting with his men at the entrance to the passage leading away from where Queen Vajura was.

"General He, no, Marshal, welcome back!"

President Howard said from the bottom of his heart.

He never imagined that after their last farewell, He Ming would become the leader of the three Earth forces, working together to deal with the crisis of the solar system being invaded by an external enemy.

"Well, I'm back!"

After greeting everyone one by one, He Ming gave an apologetic smile.

"Sorry! More important than business is that I think I should go back to my room and settle my sister in."

"Oh! Of course! We've already made the arrangements, Marshal, please follow me!"

Upon learning of He Ming's return, Howard had already made arrangements, giving up the presidential palace for He Ming to live in, while Lapis and Hoshino Ruri's rooms were arranged next to He Ming's.

As he traveled, He Ming saw many of the fleet's residents accompanied by young Vajura cubs, or occasionally, adult Vajura flying alongside the fighter jets that swept over the fleet.

"It seems that the integration of the fleet with Vajura is going well."

"Yes. Thanks to Her Majesty Queen Vajura's understanding, the number of residents who have gained Vajura's approval and following now accounts for 40% of the fleet's total population, and this number is steadily increasing."

Upon hearing He Ming's praise, Howard quickly reported on his recent achievements one by one.

"In addition, among the residents who have been recognized by Vajura, there are a considerable number of cases of individuals infected with FLOD bacteria."

"Oh? There are many cases? Who are they?"

Lapis, who was sleeping on He Ming's lap, made a few indistinct murmurs and then turned over, but was held down by Hoshino Ruri to prevent her from moving around and disturbing He Ming and Howard's conversation.

"There are probably close to ten thousand people. And among these people, the most eye-catching is Sheryl Nome."

Howard said seriously.

"Sheryl Nome was among the first FLOD-infected individuals to gain the approval of the Vajura and be followed by Vajura cubs. However, judging from her case, she initially experienced adverse reactions such as rejection. But as the Vajura cubs followed her for an extended period, the FLOD infection that had caused Sheryl Nome health problems gradually stabilized, and eventually a symbiotic relationship was established between Sheryl Nome and the infection."

"is it?"

He Ming nodded slightly, glancing out the window.

Despite the significant changes in the timeline, the original path of destiny is still followed in certain details.

So, perhaps those infected with FLOD, including Sheryl Nome, and now perhaps those who should become FLOD bacteria co-existents, could participate in this plan concerning the survival of the solar system.
