Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 814 Reunion and Mystery! (1/3)

Siblings Sasha, Sally and Stella are very happy today!

Not only did they get leave approved by the school, but they also saw their favorite big brother He Ming and his people coming back, and also saw Natal Bakilulu, whom they hadn't seen since they left Alaska.

When they saw Natal Bakilulu standing beside He Ming with a somewhat uneasy look on her face, the Sashasali brother and sister cheered immediately and ran to Natal Bakilulu, asking her questions one after another, which made Natal Bakilulu unable to cope for a moment.

"Hey! Sasha Sally, everyone is watching! Let's go home first!"

He Ming's words immediately calmed Sashasali down.

The two siblings then saw clearly the people following He Ming. In addition to Natal Bakilulu, there were Sergei, Lockon, Salamantini, Lacus Klein and Malu Ramyas.

"Brother, Sister Bakilulu, Uncle Sergei, Brother Lockon, Sister Salamantini, it's been a long time since we last met! Also, are the two sisters the guests of this visit? Hello! I am Stella He."

What surprised He Ming was that Stella, whom he hadn't seen for almost a year, actually had the feeling of a lady from a noble family, and her words and actions were very elegant and appropriate.

On the other hand, the brother and sister Sasha Sally...
“Brother, don’t misunderstand anything! Stella deliberately chose extracurricular courses on social etiquette to achieve what she has now!”

Sally was the first to step forward and clarify any possible misunderstandings.

"Social etiquette?!"

He Ming was stunned. Xinxing’s school has such a course?
"It's just my passing interest. Does it surprise you, brother?"

Seeing that her actions surprised He Ming, Stella immediately returned to her lively and lovely appearance as a young girl, and walked up to He Ming and hugged his arm with a giggle.

"Come on! Brother, let's go home!"

As she spoke, Stella glanced warily at Lacus Klein and Maliu Ramias standing aside.

“What an energetic child!”

Malu Ramias followed behind, walking slowly, and suddenly sighed.

"Yes, that's right. I didn't expect General He to adopt the child."

Lacus Clyne nodded slowly.

"Surprised?"

"Some. But it seems reasonable. Captain Malu."

The family reunion time is happy, but Durandal, who is in L4 Mendel, a long-abandoned colony satellite, is not happy.

Because the matter he wanted to investigate finally had some clues.

It was inside Mendel, somewhere in a laboratory that had been mostly destroyed.

"Jill, where is this?"

Talia, wearing protective clothing, holding a flashlight in one hand and a pistol in the other, followed Durandal cautiously.

"This is where I used to work, Talia."

Durandal was very familiar with his surroundings.

Even if there are a lot of floating debris blocking the road, Durandal can always find a way to his destination among these debris.

After traveling back and forth and walking around, Durandal brought Talia to a closed gate.

"This door... is still functioning?"

Along the way, Talia saw too many devices that failed due to loss of power supply after the laboratory was destroyed, but the gate in front of her did not seem to fail due to loss of power.

"Here, there is an independent power supply."

Durandal moved slightly, floated forward, raised his right hand wrapped in protective clothing, and after groping on the right side of the gate, a touch screen popped up.

But Durandal looked sad.

"What's wrong, Jill?" Seeing that Durandal had not made any move, Talia leaned over slightly and asked.

"What a coincidence. This is a fingerprint verification combination lock."

"Fingerprint verification? Don't you have the authority, Jill?"

Just now, Durandal said that this was the research institute where he used to work, but when he turned around, he was slapped in the face by reality.

Durandal sighed.

"This is not my lab, Thalia. My lab, you just saw it."

Talia was stunned, and immediately thought of the scenes in the destroyed laboratories they had just passed by.

"So, where is this place? Do you know the owner of this laboratory?"

"Well, kind of! Our relationship was pretty good. It was just that we had opposite opinions on research, and sometimes, we even had fierce conflicts. In the end, before this place was destroyed, we parted ways because of our differences."

Durandal looked around, motioned to Talia to follow him, then turned and moved to another passage.

After another round of twists and turns, Durandal brought Talia to an unremarkable passage that allowed Durandal to grope around on the walls.

"Jill, what are you doing?"

"Talia, come and help me find it! I remember seeing the maintenance department open some mechanisms here when they were doing repairs a long time ago. Maybe the power supply system for the laboratory is inside."

“Isn’t this unlikely?”

Talia was a little skeptical, but she still did as Durandal said and began to grope and search.

As a result, it was found.

Only, there is no key.

"Jill, get out of the way!"

Talia stepped back a distance and asked Durandal to step back as well, then she raised the pistol in her hand, aimed it at the lock, and fired two shots.

There was a flash of fire in the dim passage, and the padlock broke with a sound.

Durandal stepped forward, opened the baffle, and after examining it carefully with a flashlight for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to look at Talia.

"Thalia. You are my lucky goddess!"

Even though she is already a mother, Talia still can't help but blush when faced with praise from her lover.

"Jill, what are you talking about? Let's move quickly. I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy."

"it is good!"

After Durandal turned off the power at the gate, he took Talia back and saw that the red light for emergency evacuation was on at the gate.

"Success."

After completing the emergency evacuation operation on the touch screen, the gate slowly opened, revealing the secrets hidden inside this abandoned colonial satellite to Durandal and Talia.

Talia raised her hand to block Durandal.

"I'll go first. Jill."

Durandal frowned, but did as Talia asked.

After all, Durandal is just a researcher, while Talia is a military personnel who has received considerable military training.

On this point, Durandal followed Talia's arrangement without any objection.

The light of the flashlight broke through the darkness, revealing every plant and tree in this laboratory that had been closed for more than ten years before Talia's eyes.
