Chapter 258 [Tail of the Serpent] Arrival
The door opened, and she was very happy to see Yang Hui coming back with two plates. Lux was indeed hungry, but she was a little unhappy because Yang Hui brought two plates. !
Really, do you think you are a girl with a big appetite in his eyes?
But seeing the people following Yang Hui, he immediately became interested again.
“Eat.”
Yang Hui placed a piece of food in front of Lux and started eating with another plate.
This made Lux blush and feel shy. It turned out that she had misunderstood Yang Hui, and she ate her meal silently with her head down.
"Kira, this is Lux, Lux Klein."
"Hello, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me. My name is Kira Yamato."
>
“Hello, Kira, just call me Lux.”
Seeing Lux put on the mask again, the corners of Yang Hui's mouth twitched. This is really a monster. Thousands of people and faces can be picked at his fingertips, and there is no obstacle in switching states.
"Kira, are you also an adjuster?"
"Yes...yes."
"Then why did you board this ship? This Isn't it a ship of the Earth Army?"
"Um...this..." Kira didn't want to answer this question, so she looked at Yang Hui for help.
"I took him and his friends on board the ship. In order to survive, they had to board the ship." Yang Hui said.
"That's it...it feels uncomfortable, right?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Kira was stunned, but even Yang Hui paused in his eating movements and put down the tableware.
"...Yeah." Kira nodded with difficulty.
“Fighting... is a sad thing.”
"I...don't want to fight either, but..."
"Kira is really a gentle person." Lux comforted.
“Eh?”
“I don’t want to fight, but I still want to join in the fight. Is there any unavoidable reason?”
“…Hmm.”
"Yang Hui?" Lux looked at Yang Hui with a smile. Although there was no responsibility or anger, Yang Hui could see the silent questioning and accusation from Lux's smile.
"Who is not fighting in this chaotic and turbulent world? Aren't you the same?" Yang Hui turned his head and looked at Lux.
“…”
Hearing this, Lux’s mask was removed and she regained her mature temperament. A sad and sad atmosphere spread in the room.
“I don’t like others to control my destiny, and I don’t want it to be that when danger comes, I can only hide under the table and pray for others to save me. I want to control my own destiny, that’s all.”< br>
After saying that, Yang Hui quickly finished the food and left with the plate, but before leaving the room, he still relaxed the heavy atmosphere.
“By the way, Kira is a good friend of Aslan and I in elementary school, and Lacus is also Aslan’s fiancée. Speaking of which... the world is big, but it’s really small. Haha. "
After Yang Hui left, Kira stepped back from the shock and suddenly looked back at Lux.
"Eh? Eh~!!!?"
"Ah, so Kira, you are also Aslan's friend? It's really a fate." Lux asked with an innocent smile road.
"You...I...your...fiancée? Aslan's!?"
"Yes."
"Well...this is really..." Kira smiled bitterly Twice, I fully agree with what Yang Hui said. The world is really big, but sometimes, the small ones are really pitiful.
"Aslan...I saw him."
"Really? It must be a good meeting, right? Can you tell me about it?"
"...Well, it's just...different from what you thought, it's not that friendly."
Then, Kira began to tell Lux about everything she encountered in [Heliopolis] , why he joined the battle, and why he and Aslan... became enemies.
Maybe he is also an adjuster, Kira also opened up the chatterbox, without the slightest doubt about Lux, and told Lux everything he had experienced.
Lacus just listened quietly, occasionally speaking to comfort Kira, but most of the time she just acted as a listener, understanding how this kind-hearted young man was forced to get involved in the vortex of the war. among.
……
Yang Hui left the room and went directly to the bridge. He had already received one of the surprises sent by Madoc, and the second one was next.
"Yang Hui, you are here. How is she doing?" Ma Liu asked Yang Hui.
"No problem, Kira is looking at her."
"Kira..."
To be honest, leave Kira to guard Lux, Ma Lyu was still worried. She knew Kira was kind-hearted and was not a soldier. If Lux made some excessive demands, Kira would not be able to understand the deeper meaning, which might bring danger to them.
Moreover... Lux and Kira are both adjusters. What if... Lux instigates Kira to rebel? So what should we do with the Archangel?
"Don't worry, I said hello, Lux won't mess around."
"...That's good."
"By the way, Lax Captain Mias, have you received any communication requests from nearby?" Yang Hui asked. He had notified [Serpent's Tail] early in the morning that he was waiting for them nearby. Calculating the time, they should have made contact by now. right.
“Not yet…” “Beep beep beep…”
"Captain, received a communication request from an unknown signal!"
When Cao Cao arrived, Yang Hui had just asked about [The Tail of the Serpent] when the other party sent a communication request.
“Take it.”
“Yes.”
The screen lit up, and the girl on the screen had short brown hair, making it difficult to tell her gender.
“This is the [Snake’s Tail]. Is this the ship that Mr. Yang Hui is on?”
“Long time no see, Fenghua, why are you in charge of communications? Where is Mr. Yi? Where's Ledger? Where's Reed and Loretta? Are all the adults on your ship dead?" Yang Hui teased.
"I am the agent of [Snake's Tail], and I am naturally responsible for the contact with the client. Please don't underestimate me." The girl transformed into an angry Xiao Long Bao and asked Yang Hui complained.
Fenghua Azeh, an intern team member of [Serpent's Tail], is also the only daughter of another team member Loretta Azeh. Although she is not an official team member yet, she serves as a member of [Serpent's Tail] In his brokerage activities, he once represented Cong Yunqi in business negotiations. Although he is young, he has the insight and ability to act beyond adults.
"Hey, hey, hey! Master Yang Hui, we are listening!"
"If you want to scold us behind our backs, no way!"
As the rough and hot voice sounded, The burly man with short blond hair and the brown-skinned woman with a single ponytail squeezed past Fenghua Azhe and occupied the screen.
The rough and arrogant man is Lid Weller, a formal member of [Serpent's Tail] and a former sergeant of the United Earth. He was dismissed from his post in the past because he was addicted to alcohol and caused trouble, but due to his high reputation Tribute still has connections within the United Army, and has always been the intelligence core of [Serpent's Tail] due to his excellent intelligence gathering capabilities.
The woman's name is Loretta Azeh, Fenghua Azeh's mother. She is a single mother, a natural person who is good at fighting skills and blasting. She is a hot mom, mainly responsible for stand-up combat and undercover. Occasionally, he wears reinforced armor to support battles. He is good at taking care of others and is very popular among mercenaries. Many people aspire to become Fenghua Azhe's stepfather, but no one has succeeded yet.
"Haha, so as an adult, can't you be a little self-conscious?" Yang Hui joked.
“Tch, you nasty little brat, I wouldn’t have accepted your commission if I had known better!”
“My daughter is still the cutest!”
“You... What are you doing? Mom, we are on commission now!”
“Get out of the way”
A cold voice sounded, and Li De Weiler and Yazhe's mother and daughter simultaneously moved away from their positions, revealing the voice behind them.
The stern face and orange sunglasses cannot hide the tough and handsome appearance. The dark brown hair is not taken care of much and looks a bit messy, but it does not affect his tough temperament at all. On the contrary, it adds a touch of Chic meaning.
Cong Yungui, the leader of the mercenary unit [SerpentTail], is deeply trusted by his comrades. He has a long-standing reputation in the underground world for completing impossible tasks. He is the absolute core of the team. Cong Yunqi even has the reputation of "the strongest mercenary".
“Long time no see, Cai, you look like you’re doing well.”
“Well, have you started entrusting yourself now?”
"The commission begins. I will serve as the escort of this ship until I escape ZAFT's pursuit and arrive at the Atlantic Federation lunar base."
"Understood, the commission begins."
This is Cong Yunqi's His style is direct and straightforward. Even if he is a close acquaintance, he will not exchange too many pleasantries. Everything is focused on tasks.
However, Cong Yunqiu does not accept all commissions. Unlike other people who are willing to accept all kinds of "dirty work" for the sake of money, Cong Yunqiu often considers whether to accept task requests based on moral principles and political perspectives. Therefore, it rarely accepts intentional "killing", suppression or other sabotage missions, which also provides [Serpent's Tail] with a good reputation.
The communication ended and everyone looked at Yang Hui.
"...Didn't you tell them?" Yang Hui asked Ma Liu.
"Uh... I haven't had time yet..." Ma Liu was ashamed. She had indeed forgotten to inform the crew about this matter. In addition, Lux was rescued later, and she was really confused about what happened at first sight. Forget about it.
Immediately, Ma Liu informed everyone about Yang Hui’s hiring of [Snake Tail], and it did not cause any disturbance. After all, Ma Liu was the captain and their military chief. They only needed to obey orders. Okay, and the mercenary escort also adds an extra layer of security for them. They don't have to pay for it, so the fool won't be happy about it.
At this moment, a new hope appeared in front of everyone.
“Captain!”
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Encrypted pulse signal received... This is! The encrypted pulse signal of the Earth Army's Eighth Orbital Fleet!"
"Is it confirmed?"
“Can it be tracked?” Baji Lulu asked quickly.
"Doing...Start parsing!"
"...Zizzi...zizi...here is...the advance guard of the Eighth Fleet...Montgomery...the Archangel...answer..."
"It's the troops under Commodore Halbarton!"
“Yah ho~!”
“Is he looking for us?”
“Where is the location?”
"Is it Major Copperman's unit?"
"Great!"
The heavy hearts of Malu, Bucky Lulu, Arnold and others who came here are finally released. , they have a feeling that they have finally found home.
But... only Yang Hui showed a worried expression after everyone else.
