Gundam: From Piece to Player

Ten minutes later, the city returned to calm, but wildfires started from the fighting and burned deep in the forest, illuminating half of Kolkata's sky.

When the local rescue helicopters arrived at the fire site, they were horrified to find a gray mobile suit looking down at the federal military base from its aircraft.

Clearly, these are Zeon mobile suits.

The bomber hangars and central command tower base below were all destroyed, and the remains of several stationary Type 61 tanks and defensive artillery emplacements were destroyed, while the fuel depot was engulfed in flames.

The federal government appears to have failed to mount any effective counterattack.

None of the surviving Union soldiers could stand upright.

They knelt on the ground, coughing violently, and a few even convulsed and rolled around, seemingly experiencing some kind of invisible pain.

Seemingly sensing the arrival of the helicopter, the aircraft turned its head, and the green-eyed monitor seemed to glare at the helicopter.

The helicopter pilot felt his heart stop beating and almost crashed due to a loss of control.

Fortunately, the demonic-looking machine did not target it, and disappeared into the night sky as its blue tail flames were pulled away by the skateboard below.

Trey, the owner of Kabas, sensed that something bad was happening recently.

Just this morning, he heard the devastating news on the news broadcast that Colonel Gareth, whom he had bribed at great expense, had heroically sacrificed himself in battle against Zeon last night.

It was a Zeon attack, the reason for which is unknown. Military facilities were destroyed, and the base's key facilities were completely wrecked. However, the Federation forces suffered relatively few casualties. Rumors suggest that the Zeon forces used a new weapon...

Trey wasn't actually very interested in this.

Whether Calcutta was occupied by the Federation or the Zeon was irrelevant to him.

He only cared about whether his business could continue. Of all his businesses, the Kabas Mansion was the most profitable. Even if Calcutta were to be occupied by the Zeon army in the future, he believed that the Zeon officers would still need Kabas's services, because that was human nature.

I heard Lala had a client last night, apparently a quirky Zeon officer. Maybe she could bribe him...

Just then, the phone rang.

"Boss, something terrible has happened."

"Calm down, what's wrong with that?"

"Lala was taken away by that Zeon officer," the sales manager said anxiously. "The brother guarding the fire escape was shot and killed; he was taken away through the hotel's back door."

"Hurry up and chase after them!"

"I dare not pursue them."

"What? The weapons I bought for you?"

"It's a huge robot, and it can fly, boss. It's flying towards the Cabass mansion."

"And the Federal Army? They just swaggered into the city."

"Boss, have you forgotten that the Federal Army base was attacked last night?"

Trey felt a connection being made in his brain.

Lala... She realized that the Zeon officer was capable of freeing her, so she used her beauty to seduce him.

That's why the federal military base was attacked last night, and now they're coming after us.

Lala!

I treated you well, even specially selecting good 'lovers' and ensuring your basic needs were met, and this is how you repay me? I should have sent you to serve customers with special fetishes.

But escaping is the priority right now.

They called for bodyguards.

He had originally intended to hitch a ride in a black luxury car, but after thinking it over, Trey followed his bodyguards into the mountains, where his armory was located.

Gundam rode on a skateboard and flew over the Cabass Mansion.

Karma quickly observed that there were many vehicles parked in front of the mansion, but these vehicles mostly belonged to the clients. Although the infrared heat source indicated that there were people inside the building, putting herself in the client's shoes, she knew that the boss would not sit and wait to die in the mansion.

Besides, there's now a 'humanoid radar'.

"Lala, can you sense your adoptive father's location?"

Lala, sitting in the chair next to her, closed her eyes and began to trust her so-called 'intuition'.

"there."

Lala pointed in a direction, clearly not knowing how to call out locations yet, but Karma still had absolute faith in her.

In less than thirty seconds, the Gundam circled and approached a ravine.

Just as they were about to activate the infrared detector to scan the mountainous area below, two anti-aircraft missiles roared toward Gundam.

Chapter 80 Punishment and Aftermath

Before Kalmar could react.

Alice had already taken the lead in controlling the machine.

The combustible metal flares were rapidly released into the air, and the aircraft evaded the enemy aircraft while rapidly descending in altitude. Anti-aircraft missiles flew past the aircraft, barely missing its target.

Even if it were directly hit, the explosive charge of this type of bullet would still be insufficient to penetrate the armor of a Gundam.

Considering that combat within the atmosphere might encounter stronger firepower, the Kalmar also added detachable Chobham armor to its body, sacrificing some of its excess mobility to enhance its defensive capabilities.

Not bad, they even managed to get their hands on infrared heat-guided anti-aircraft missiles designed to counter helicopters.

Unfortunately, this thing isn't so easy to aim at unless the direction of movement is known in advance, making it possible for a single soldier to carry out air defense interception.

Such blatant firing actually revealed their location.

As the aircraft dodged the anti-aircraft missiles, Kalma descended and pulled the trigger of the experimental weapon.

The high-power infrasound generator directly connected to the fusion reactor instantly caused the surrounding air to vibrate violently.

This weapon allows an adult to instantly experience the tearing sensation of every organ and tissue in their body resonating.

If the power were a bit greater, it could effectively clear out enemies hiding in tunnels and forests, just like chasing away rats hiding in their holes.

However, considering humanitarian considerations, Kalmar did not use this weapon in the hard-kill field, but rather as a non-lethal weapon for capturing enemies.

As they spoke, the Gundam had already landed on the ground. Without exception, the armed men who had been lying in ambush in the woods were all rolling around, struggling, and kneeling on the ground, retching as if they had been poisoned. They were too afraid to even pick up their weapons to fight back.

"Colonel, please don't do this, they are in great pain."

Lala shed tears.

The New Humans' sensory abilities... are really inconvenient in situations like this, Karma thought.

How many lives have these villains taken, and how many families have been torn apart?

If we sympathize with these perpetrators, who will sympathize with the victims?

Karma released the trigger. "Which one is your adoptive father? Point him out to me."

Lala pointed to the middle-aged man in the white suit who was overweight.

Karma immediately manipulated the Gundam and roughly grabbed the man from the ground, regardless of whether he had suffered internal injuries.

“Mr. Trey, can you tell me where your secret stash is?” Kalmar didn’t waste any more time and asked through the loudspeaker.

"Damn Zeon, you'll never get my wealth."

Without wasting words with him, Karma pulled the trigger again, but this time adjusted the power and direction, targeting only the area where the gang leader was.

Karma thought Lala would be very disgusted by this behavior.

Unexpectedly, Lala started laughing... laughing while crying.

After being repeatedly tortured by the infrasound weapon, Trey had become quite stubborn, even able to curse, displaying a fierce determination to never reveal the location of the treasure. No wonder he was a gangster boss...

But it's okay, there are still a few bodyguards, right?

Karma used her free hand to grab another one, intending to test their loyalty. Unexpectedly, this guy was so scared that he wet his pants as soon as he was grabbed by Gundam... His mental fortitude is terrible.

This comparison shows that there's a reason why Lao Da became the boss.

"I'll talk, I'll talk."

Seeing that the other party was so sensible, Karma did not press the matter further, but instead asked the other party to point out the address of the hidden vault.

Then there's no need to spare this guy's life.

Gundam released his grip.

The wicked gang leader fell from a height of 10 meters...

-

Gao Da turned and looked at the surviving bodyguards on the ground. These thugs were now performing an unidentified deep bow, begging Karma not to kill them.

Kalmar let Lala decide.

Lala quickly delivered her verdict.

Those hands are unclean;

Those actions were understandable, and some even involved helping the girls.

The verdict has been reached.

Karma allowed for the exoneration of the unclean... although she had considered having the victims execute the villains to vent their anger.

But he ultimately did not do so.

These villains might be good husbands or fathers at home, but if their relatives are driven to seek revenge, they could endanger the victims.

Applying the hatred of the villain's family members to the person with extenuating circumstances... can be seen as a form of subtle punishment and warning.

If these guys' relatives are foolish enough to seek revenge on him... he wouldn't mind eliminating them completely.

The warehouse was located deep in this forest, and it contained a lot of guns, ammunition, grenades, and a considerable amount of gold.

A total of fifty million helium.

This would be a considerable fortune for an ordinary person, but in Kalmar's eyes, it wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.

It's enough to buy at most one brand-new Zaku, and the maintenance cost for him to pilot that Gundam for 100 hours in combat.

Although the bodyguard said that the gang leader also had a considerable amount of real estate... it was basically impossible to take it with him.

Back at the Cabas mansion, Haywin's Zaku had already subdued the area.
