Gundam 00: Rise of China

Manekin, along with Patrick, escorted Wang Ye and his two companions to a base specially prepared for the Taliban mission before leaving.

They left so quickly and efficiently that they didn't even finish explaining the layout of the base before disappearing from sight.

Wang Ye and his two companions watched the direction in which the other party had quickly disappeared without a trace, and then looked back at the huge, empty hangar.

Only three AEU export-type thugs, covered in a thin layer of dust, sat forlornly in the corner.

The phrase "it's easy to stay at home but hard to leave home" perfectly describes the situation.

"Major, is this really something we're supposed to use?"

Anura circled one of the Thugs, tapping the armor of the machine with a dull thud.

"Isn't this just a cheap, inferior version of equipment that AEU is using to fool people?"

"Let alone using it to fight against Gundam, even our own export equipment is more powerful than this."

Wang Ye did not say anything, but instead climbed up the ladder to the cockpit.

As the hatch creaked open, a pungent smell of engine oil wafted out.

Frowning, Wang Ye hadn't expected AEU to be so pragmatic.

However, for the sake of the mission and his subordinates, Wang Ye suppressed his displeasure and got into the driver's seat.

Then, I skillfully turned on the power and stared at the dense system code that immediately appeared on the screen.

"So, Anura."

As he swiped through the underlying code line by line, Wang Ye spoke casually.

"It is indeed a luxury to expect humanity to remain rational forever."

"The idea of ​​uniting all of humanity is something that will only happen when everyone is about to die."

"They start dismantling the bridge before even crossing the river, calling themselves allies but unwilling to even give us a decent weapon."

"When it comes to actually carrying out a mission, they'll probably be the first to betray their teammates."

Scratching his bald head, Anula agreed with Wang Ye's words.

Then he looked at Wang Ye, who was inspecting the cockpit, with admiration.

It's fine to let Alura drive his MS out and kill people, but it's not so good to make him stare blankly at these gibberish-like codes.

Honestly, he would rather have a three-hundred-round duel with Patrick.

Even taking on a Gundam one-on-one is better than looking at those codes!

On the other side, Piris stood quietly, his gaze fixed on the white characters flashing on the screen reflected off Wang Ye's sunglasses lenses.

At first, she didn't react much, but as Wang Ye's fingers flew across the keyboard and lines of system commands were constantly being refreshed, Piris's eyes suddenly became somewhat unfocused.

Cold, hard code; white lab coats; the smell of disinfectant; piercing alarms…

Those unpleasant memories buried deep in the mind, from the super-soldier testing base, suddenly surged up like a tide.

Suddenly, Piris's body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his fingertips instantly turned icy cold.

These adverse physiological reactions were completely beyond Piris's control.

It was very light, and it happened very quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

But Anura noticed it immediately.

"Lieutenant Piris, are you alright?" The bald, burly man quickly turned around and asked with concern.

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Suddenly snapping out of her daze, Piris forced herself to perk up, reverting to her cold demeanor, and shook her head before speaking.

"fine."

Noticing the situation outside, Wang Ye in the cockpit stopped what he was doing and looked down at the girl standing below.

Although the sunglasses concealed Wang Ye's eyes, he already knew the truth in his heart.

He was actually well aware of what was going on at the super soldier testing base.

Those experiments that claim to enhance human strength are simply not in line with the tradition of the Human Revolutionary Alliance!

"Anura, take a look at this Thug I've inspected first."

As he stepped out of the cockpit, Wang Ye spoke calmly.

"I just checked the powertrain parameters of this car, and there's nothing seriously wrong."

"Test the operating system again to see if there are any lags or delays."

"Oh? Okay."

Although Anura was still worried about Piris, she understood what Wang Ye meant, even though she was slightly stunned.

Nodding, Anura patted Piris's arm, turned and climbed into the thug-like cockpit.

This gives Wang Ye and Piris a private and undisturbed space in the hangar.

"I only recently heard about the super soldier testing base."

Upon approaching Piris, Wang Ye didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Could you tell me about what's inside?"

Upon hearing the words "super soldier test base," Piris's expression grew even colder, his lips pressed into a straight line, and he refused to utter a single word.

She even took a half step back, adopting a defensive posture, her eyes filled with vigilance.

This is an instinct ingrained in the Super Soldiers after their training; when someone touches their forbidden zone, their first reaction is to fight.

Seeing the girl like this, Wang Ye sighed softly.

Then, in the next second, he suddenly moved.

Without any warning, Wang Ye stomped his right foot on the ground and shot out like an arrow.

He reached out, clenched his fist, and aimed it straight at Piris's face.

Piris's pupils contracted sharply, and his body reflexively dodged to the side, while his right hand formed a knife and slashed fiercely at Wang Ye's carotid artery.

This is standard military combat technique: fast, accurate, and ruthless, with every move aimed directly at vital points without any unnecessary movements.

Without dodging or flinching, Wang Ye changed his punch to a horizontal block, parrying Piris's hand strike.

At the same time, he took a half step forward with his left foot, squeezing his entire body into the wide-open doorway of Piris. Then, his right shoulder suddenly sank, and Wang Ye's shoulder slammed hard into the girl's chest.

This is the Iron Mountain Lean of Bajiquan, a hard and direct attack that breaks the opponent's defenses as soon as it touches them.

A muffled thud was heard instantly.

Piris felt a tremendous force slam into him, and he involuntarily took two steps back.

Before she could even regain her footing, Wang Ye's elbow was pressed against her throat again.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

With a cold look in his eyes, Piris was unwilling to accept defeat. He was, after all, a super soldier, yet he had been defeated so easily.

The girl immediately clenched her left fist and slammed it into Wang Ye's ribs. In response, Wang Ye flipped his right hand and grabbed her wrist.

Then, with a twist, he hooked his left foot around her ankle and tripped her gently.

Losing her balance, Piris fell backward, and Wang Ye followed closely behind, pressing her down again and pinning her to the ground.

Wang Ye pressed his knee against her back and twisted her arms behind her back with his hands.

"Don't move." Wang Ye whispered in her ear.

After struggling violently for a few moments, Piris was surprised to find that he couldn't move at all.

Wang Ye's strength was astonishing, and every movement he made precisely locked her joints, making it impossible for her to exert any force.

"Has the body been modified?"

After several rounds of combat, Wang Ye estimated that Piris's physical abilities were far from ordinary.

Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Piris remained silent and uncooperative.

So what if you see through the fact that my body has been modified? You said it yourself.

I'll deny it even if I did it. Do you dare to say for sure that I definitely did it?

Wang Ye loosened his grip a little, but he didn't let go of Piris.

"I don't know which internal system did this." His voice softened slightly. "If the methods were compliant, then I have nothing to say."

"But if it's non-compliant, let me know later."

"General Gao will not stand by and watch this continue."

"Even if General Gao's side is suppressed, I'll handle it."

These words struck Piris like a thunderclap.

She grew up in the experimental base and all she ever heard was "obey orders" and "complete the mission." No one ever told her "I'll take care of it."

Piris froze at Wang Ye's words, and for the first time, an emotion other than indifference appeared in his icy blue eyes.

Confused and shocked.

There was also a slight, barely perceptible wavering.

Unfortunately, just as Piris was about to say something...

A man's voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, suddenly came from the hangar entrance.

"Looks like you're quite adept at training young men."

"We can exchange ideas."

"Perhaps my methods will be of great help to you."
