Why would I join the army if I can’t drive a Gundam!

Chapter 334 The Remnants' Race Against Time (3)

"did you find it?"

"Still being cracked!"

Leopold shouted loudly, his forehead covered in sweat, and the remnant commander beside him shouted back even louder.

"We're moving too fast, the brothers are about to give up!"

"I know!"

Leopold's hands flew across the data panel. On the screen were strings of gibberish. Even if he was an undercover agent, the database's encryption firewall was not easy to breach. If the physical access hadn't bypassed the most difficult step, they might have spent several more days.

The remnant commanders were aware of the difficulties, but right now, they were indeed struggling to hold on!

After nearly half an hour of siege, the Self-Defense Forces abandoned their previous tactics and began a breakthrough attack, no longer concerned about the equipment in the database. This time, they brought heavy shields, which were held by the infantrymen as they launched the attack.

However, the commander had obviously received the relevant orders and did not forcefully suppress them all at once, but instead pushed forward little by little to compress the living space of the remnants. After all, those devices were still very important, and they should be preserved as much as possible!

Of course, that's what the remnants thought, but in reality, this was a signal from Ramball to remind Leopold to finish as soon as possible. After all, if they were quietly working on the hacking inside while sitting quietly with the enemy outside, anyone could sense the problem.

Therefore, this tug-of-war, taking two steps forward and one step back, can both lull the remaining party into a false sense of security and remind Leopold not to forget his mission.

Of course, Leopold hadn't forgotten his mission, but the problem was that the encrypted firewall was too disgusting. Even though he was an industry insider, it was impossible for him to force his way through. He was now using the backdoor that had been left for him, but this was his first time entering it, so his lack of experience had delayed him quite a bit.

At this moment, gunfire erupted in the narrow corridor of the database. The remnants' automatic pistols and grenades became their last line of defense. Under the threat of grenades rolling down the stairs, the Self-Defense Force's shield assault soldiers dared not take any risks. They could only hold up their shields and let their teammates and the enemy behind them exchange fire. Once they suppressed the enemy, they could advance a few steps, but then the remnants would throw grenades, and they would have to retreat back to their starting position.

Even with this delay, the Self-Defense Forces still managed to inflict some casualties on the remnants. After all, the P900 submachine guns in their hands were no joke; even the Federal Special Forces praised them.

Of course, the remnants in the database are much better off than the remnants in the port, since the enemy they are facing doesn't have machine guns or rocket launchers. But the worst off are those who tried to sabotage the colony satellite's defense laser cannons.

Their actions did not follow the internal personnel's timetable. Because the defensive laser cannons blocked the remnants' escape route, they could launch the attack whenever they wanted, as long as the mission was completed ahead of their allies.

However, when these commandos, dressed in spacesuits and carrying jetpacks, arrived at the outer wall of the colony, they discovered that the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations.

Because the Self-Defense Forces also deployed space forces to wait for their arrival on the outer wall of the satellite, and the enemy was not wearing the kind of infiltration tight-fitting uniforms used by secret agents. Although they had some defensive capabilities, they were not many. The Self-Defense Forces guards were all wearing heavy exoskeletons, and even the weapons they carried had been changed from live-fire rifles to laser weapons.

The remnant commando team, realizing something was wrong, immediately tried to warn their allies inside the satellite, only to discover that their communications were being severely jammed. The Self-Defense Forces had released a millimeter-sized jamming device, effectively trapping them.

Then, a battle with a huge disparity in strength ensued. The remnants could do very little, and were even unable to put up any effective resistance before being sent flying. Their out-of-control jetpacks then carried their already lifeless corpses and began to spin in space.

"It's done!"

"Proceed according to plan!"

After annihilating the remnants of the space infiltration force, these Self-Defense Force soldiers immediately began installing smoke generators near the defensive laser cannons. After all, they needed the remnants to send messages back, but they couldn't actually let them destroy the satellite's laser cannons, since these things were more important than warships, and the safety of the colony satellites depended entirely on them.

Therefore, annihilating the remaining enemy forces and then using smoke generators to create the illusion that the laser cannon had been destroyed was their only option.

Moreover, the remnants who chose to perish together with the enemy in order to destroy the laser cannon are obviously more in line with this tragic setting. Although Lanbaral has arranged everything for the remnants, it is impossible for them all to return alive. It is enough to complete the mission and cooperate with their next action. Are they really going to let them go back and become heroes?

Now, outside the colony, a squadron of fighters is in position, waiting for the remnants to escape onto the ship and send a signal so they can pursue and kill them. Ramball wants these guys to know that times have changed. Zeon is no longer a place where you can come and go as you please!

Mark Bay had absolutely no way of knowing what was happening on the satellite, so at this moment he could only silently pray that everything went well for the other side, simply because his feint attack had gone terribly wrong.

Mark Bay overestimated the deterrent power of his fleet and underestimated the Federation's defense capabilities on Kimmy Island. Upon discovering that Mark Bay's fleet had appeared in the public space, Kimmy Island's fleet immediately set sail and prepared to intercept. Dozens of warships and hundreds of mobile suits rushed out of the base as if in a swarm, which startled Mark Bay. Fortunately, they actually went up to fight, otherwise they would have suffered a great loss.

Then, Mark Bay ordered the release of meteor bombs, but just as these meteor bombs set sail, another huge object appeared in the Federation fleet.

It was a Birmingham-class battleship belonging to Kimmy Island. As soon as it appeared, it made a strong first impression with its 20MW mega particle main gun.

After sweeping away the meteor bombs launched by Mark Bay, the Mark Bay fleet consciously began to change course. Only Gevadan could withstand that fierce firepower, but this ship was Mark Bay's flagship, and Mark Bay wouldn't easily let it get involved in a fleet battle. Not to mention that Kimmy Island had also launched nearly a hundred heavy anti-ship missiles at the same time. These behemoths, which could give a battleship a good beating with a single shot, were no less effective at detonating meteors. Moreover, Kimmy Island had prepared more than just these. If ordinary missiles were ineffective, then nuclear weapons could be used. After all, in the era before the war broke out, the nuclear weapons launched by the Federation were mostly used to intercept various meteors that could threaten space facilities. Using them now wouldn't violate the Antarctic Treaty. After all, you can't expect mobile suits to push those meteors, can you?
"It's just a mere meteorite, why bother with missiles? I'll just use the Z Gundam to push it back!"

Marcarius's strike group followed closely behind Macbeth's trail of exhaust as it emerged from the Reef Space Region. However, Macbeth was moving very fast, even displaying Char's style of fleeing, so much so that Marcarius's strike group couldn't catch up and could only help Kinmi Island deal with the meteor bombs that had been mostly destroyed by artillery fire.

These meteorites were all powered by jet rocket engines, which were incredibly cheap in the space age. So, after the first round of missile salvo, the firepower interception was halted by Macarius. Then, he waved his hand and summoned all the mobile suits from Kinmi Island and the battle group.

"Just destroy the engine with the MG79 first, then use the mobile suit to change course. Why go to such great lengths when a single 90mm live round can solve the problem?"

"I think you just want to use your mobile suit to push the meteorite, don't you?"

Char sat in Markarius's command seat, watching the other man enthusiastically put on his equipment.

"This is a man's romance! It's normal that you don't understand. Look, Amuro has already set out!"

Char glanced out the window and saw that Amuro's mobile suit had already launched and left the warship, and was now circling around the flagship, obviously waiting for Macarius.

"Aren't you guys being a little too naive!"

Char glanced at Makarius, then turned to look at Bright, who shrugged, indicating that he was just a bystander.

"Maybe!"

After putting on his gear, Markarius snapped his fingers, then turned and left the bridge, leaving behind a parting remark as he went.

"Ciao!" A moment later, a blue and white Z Gundam appeared in everyone's sight. Then, the machine skillfully transformed into its mobile suit form and pounced on a meteorite.

"Actually, Makarius was just filled with regret!"

Perhaps worried that Makarius's childish behavior would give the Federation forces on the ship a bad impression of him, Nagase Hotaru, who had not gone with them, suddenly spoke up to explain.

"Back then, during the Battle of Britain, Iphishu Island fell right before his eyes. At that time, his mobile suit was already on the verge of being destroyed due to the intense battle, but he still wanted to stop the satellite from falling. If it weren't for the damage to his mobile suit, he really would have piloted the mobile suit to push the falling colony satellite!"

As soon as Nagase Ying spoke, the atmosphere on the bridge immediately became solemn. Several female soldiers looked at the Gundam that was pushing the meteorite, and their eyes were still filled with tears. Even Brad couldn't help but take a deep breath. He did not doubt that Nagase Ying was lying. He knew about her relationship with Macarius. So it was obvious that this Federation general, who usually seemed to be laughing and joking, was also carrying a heavy past in his heart.

Char, who was sitting in Markarius's seat, remained silent for a moment before standing up and quickly floating off the bridge. Then, in the corridor, he slapped himself hard across the face.

Then, the Federation troops on the bridge saw the third Gundam appear in their field of vision.

"Oh, Captain Cuvatolo is here too. Come on, Amuro, let's see who can push more!"

"Alright, Captain, the loser will get a hundred flicks on the head in the mess hall tonight!"

Amro shouted from inside the cabin.

"Okay, but don't let me make you cry!"

Char said this, but the monitor lens was pointed at Macarius's mobile suit. Although there was a gap between the cockpit and space, watching the Z Gundam's movements, Char still felt as if he was seeing a boy hysterically trying to save everything.

"This is what a new human is like!"

Marcarius had no idea that someone had already imagined a whole host of things. He chose to push the meteorite because it seemed there was no chance in this timeline. So, now that he finally had this opportunity, he naturally wanted to make a quick copy. He even hummed "Beyond Time" under his breath while operating the mobile suit.

"You belong to me, please don't say goodbye!"

I want to hug you no matter what!

…………

The Enterprise, meanwhile, lay quietly behind Makarius.

As Makarius recreated the classic scene, the remnants on Satellite Nine finally received good news.

"I'm in!"

"Quickly find information about the Chimera team!"

Searching!

"Damn it, there's too much stuff... wait, why are they all dead?"

"What did you say?"

The remnant commander felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

"The Chimera team's records show almost everyone as a casualty, with only Johnny Leiden listed as an MIA!"

"How can this be?"

The remnant commander rushed to Leopold's side, and upon seeing the list, he immediately sat down on the ground, his face turning ugly.

"However, there are some other things here, a model algorithm, wait, a minaret, what is that? Does this thing have its own fixed orbit?"

Leopold looked at the paralyzed commander, then deliberately read aloud about the minaret, and the commander's previously numb eyes suddenly twitched.

"what did you just say?"

"Minaret?"

"This is it. What did you find?"

"There's some kind of algorithm, this thing is used to find something with a unique trajectory..."

"This is it, this is it!"

The commander was now overjoyed, gesturing wildly and tugging at Leopold's collar.

"Quick, this is it, download it!"

"I know, I know, I'm doing it!"

"Great! Great! Zeon is saved!"

The commander was so enraged by the progress bar that it was beyond description, as if he were high on drugs. Leopold felt goosebumps all over his body watching him!

These remnants are really strange, but thankfully, he no longer needs to act!
As he downloaded the specially prepared data, Leopold glanced at his calf, where a small blood bag had already been placed. Soon, once the data download was complete, it would be time for this loyal remnant to meet his end!

Hmm, I must choose a heroic pose so I can go back and live a happy life with my sister!
