Chapter 24: The First Battle
The force of the sudden activation of the ejection groove made the unprepared Xiao Ran suddenly press on the back of the chair, but he already had almost two to three times the body of an ordinary earthling, and he adjusted his posture in an instant, looking at the ejection channel that was quickly crossed in the monitor, and at the position where he was about to reach the end point, Xiao Ran gently pushed it with his hand, and pressed the button on the operating stick in turn with his left hand in addition to his thumb, and stepped on it hard, and the six thrusters of the jetpack spewed flames at the same time, This allows Jean to reach his maximum speed by the time he catapults.
"Ding, number 678 gets the first mech, mecha model: Jean; Mech level: D+, whether to complete a side quest of the same level to convert the mech into an exclusive mech: Yes/No. ”
"Ding, the new camp side quest is triggered, rescue the advance fleet of the Eighth Fleet of the Earth Army, the completion of the mission will be judged according to the number of remnants of the advance fleet at the end of the battle, and the completion will affect the final reward, when the loss of the advance fleet is greater than 90%, the mission failure is judged to be a failure, and there is no penalty for mission failure, whether to accept: yes/no."
The voice that came out of Xiao Ran's mind did not affect his feelings, and the shield on Jean's shoulder was erected in front of him, and as soon as he came out of the Archangel, he made a climbing maneuver and quickly pulled up, and then quickly observed the surrounding movements.
The Archangel and the Nazca-class battleships were engaged in a fierce confrontation, missiles and light were flying everywhere in the middle of the two warships, and the Strike Gundam had already rushed into the chaotic battlefield of the advance fleet and the Zaft army farther away, and was entangled by the Holy Aegis and could only take time to help the advance fleet.
In front of the Archangel, the yellow Mebius Zero also faced the two Jeans, relying on the flexible maneuver and the surprise of the wired pod pod, it can be said that the combat power of the Archangel alone has already involved one-third of the combat power of the Zaft army and drawn, and the seven warships of the entire advance fleet plus more than thirty MA can not fight against the remaining one-third of Zaft's combat strength, which can also be seen how incompetent the Earth Army is.
Taking advantage of the time that Jean had not yet joined the battle, Xiao Ran's mind was running rapidly, and in less than ten seconds, he thought about the two prompts in his mind: "The exclusive mecha mission can be abandoned, the last main mission has not yet appeared, and maybe I can get a better body in the future, I don't need to waste time on this." The side quests can be taken, and having Lux at the worst in the Archangel can complete the quest, which means that this reward is for nothing. As for Frey's father, it would be his luck if he survived, but it seemed to be hanging. ”
Xiao Ran glanced at the main ship of the advance fleet that was taken care of by the Zaft army on the monitor, and it was also the only Nelson-class among the seven warships, and at this time it was being stared at by a Loracia-class and two Jeans, and the other Jeans would also send a shuttle of bullets to the Nelson-class from time to time, which made Xiao Ran shudder: "It's better not to die." ”
"Lieutenant Xiao Ran, what are you doing! Why not join the fight yet! Bucky Lulu's angry voice suddenly broke out in the communication channel, which made Xiao Ran laugh wryly: "It's Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, you know that I have to familiarize myself with the newly modified body, otherwise I will deliver food when I go up." ”
"Hmph." Bucky Lulu only snorted when she heard Xiao Ran's explanation, which can be regarded as agreeing with Xiao Ran's statement, and her voice was lowered slightly: "Go and help Captain Mu defeat Jean and then hurry up to help Kira." ”
"Roger." Xiao Ran nodded and hung up the communication, and after rejecting the exclusive body mission, he accepted the side mission of reinforcing the advance fleet, and a percentage figure appeared in the corner of Xiao Ran's eyes, 87%. Before Xiao Ran could react, this number plummeted by 10% again with a burst of bright light on the monitor in the cab.
"Rub!" Xiao Ran turned his head and saw that the light was burst out of a battleship belonging to the Earth Army, and there were only six remaining Earth Army warships: "Don't be so unbeaten!" ”
Xiao Ran snorted, his eyes were engrossed, and he drove the variegated lightning Jean to the location of the Mebius Zero battle.
Lightning Jean used the same speed as MA in the universe into a streamer and flew towards the Mebius Zero, under the high-speed rush, Lightning Jean's beam rifle kept shooting at a Jean, and his left hand touched back, a beam sword instantly popped out, and in just a dozen seconds, it broke into the battle center of the Mebius Zero and the two Jeans.
When he missed the middle of the two Jeans, Lightning Jean's left arm swung forward and unexpectedly cut off the legs of one of the Jeans, causing a burst of fire in the universe.
The Mebius Zero also took the opportunity to pop out the four wired pods, and shot at the same time at Jean, whose legs had been cut off by Lightning Jean, and the Jean only had time to turn on the jet before it was completely reduced to pieces.
"Well done!"
"Thanks for the compliment." Xiao Ran listened to the voice of the communicator Limu, and just smiled bitterly and pulled up the sense of operation, making the lightning Jean draw a big arc in the universe before realigning the remaining Jean, and then sprinting again.
"I don't think you're driving a ma, right??" Mu's voice came to Xiao Ran's ears.
"This mech is faster than MA, but it's not as strong as the Strike Gundam!" Xiao Ran replied a little helplessly, and said: "And it's not a whole like MA, and the skeleton has not been reinforced, I'm afraid that the frame will fall apart." ”
Xiao Ran's lightning Jean does have a speed that exceeds the D-level and can even reach the C+-level body in the case of fully open thrusters in the universe, but with such a speed, Jean has increased some firepower in addition to using the weapon of the Strike Gundam, whether it is performance, or flexibility, or reaction speed, energy output power, and armor, these have not improved in the slightest, especially the strength of the body, it can be said that it is even more fragile at such a speed.
"Probably not, Zaft's stuff, good quality......" Mu's voice hesitated, but his hand kept firing at Jean, who was pestering him for the rest of the day.
"Then we'll have to try again when it's safe to do so." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he disconnected the communication, and drove the lightning Jean like a nimble poisonous snake, moving forward in a curve and quickly approaching the enemy.
In the face of the attacks of Mebius Zero and Lightning Jean, especially when these two were still high-speed mechs, Jean wisely chose to evacuate. But Lightning Jean didn't let it go, and the beam rifle shot out six or seven rays in a row, each of which was staggered by the slightest difference in Jean's movements.
Seeing that his attack was useless, Xiao Ran also snorted lightly: "Run, run away, let you see what is called red horned triple speed!" Wrong, the color has an angular triple speed. ”
After speaking, Xiao Ran pushed the operating lever to the end, and the pedals of his feet were also pressed hard. Under Xiao Ran's control, the six thrusters of the jetpack, the sole thrusters of both feet, and the two small jets on both legs all burst out with a strong white light at this time, and at this moment, Lightning Jean's speed was raised again, and he approached Jean who fled first with incredible speed.
Even though the Jin thruster in front of him was fully opened, he still couldn't escape the pursuit of Lightning Jean, only to see a white streamer with a pink light passing by, and a ball of fireworks also exploded on the path of this streamer.
"Ding, defeat the D-rank mecha of the enemy camp and get 500 merit points."
Listening to the hint in his mind, Xiao Ran pouted and smiled: "On the battlefield, in the face of an unknown enemy, he dared to use his back to face each other and look for death." ”
After laughing, Xiao Ran stopped and drove the lightning Jean to the most chaotic battlefield: "Mu, I'll leave the rest to you!" ”
It only took less than thirty seconds, and the lightning Jean had already sprinted to the edge of the battlefield, and the speed like a streamer shook everyone in the starry sky, and everyone could clearly see on the radar and on the monitor that this was a Jean, but how could a Jean have such a speed?
Not to mention whether Jean's body strength can support this speed, it is already incredible to say that Jean's pilot's body can sustain such a speed, and resist the strong force while still operating at such a speed without making mistakes.
If you change to a Gundam, if you change to a new type of machine that you have never seen before, then some people will only be surprised by such a speed. But with this speed, it's a Jean, which makes people feel unbelievable. Jean's body parameters are well known to too many people in this star field, especially Zaft, who is the most stunned of them all. They knew very well that Jean's decompression system could not support the pilot's operation at such a speed, and the decompression system was closely related to the skeleton of the body, and it was almost impossible to modify, so they would see Lightning Jean and find it incredible.
Unless the mech isn't Jean at all, or it's a Gundam in Jean's shell, but is that possible?
Lightning Jean rushed into the hearts of everyone in this starry sky like a bright meteor, but no one thought that Xiao Ran was not a person from this world at all, and his physical condition alone was already three times that of an ordinary person, so the physical burden was not a problem for him at all. And he can still operate the body normally at such a speed, it is entirely because he has the skills that are more unscientific than the Gundam, as long as it is a D-level body, he can use the GuòD-level general mecha driving technology to drive normally.
If he accidentally turned into a C-level lightning Jean, then Xiao Ran would not dare to advance at full speed, because he could not fully control it, just like driving a strong attack, he could only exert eighty percent of his performance, and he was prone to make mistakes.
Although the lightning Jean who rushed into the battlefield gave Zaft a strong shock, it really played a role at all, not to mention that the shooting hit rate was not high, and he could not make normal basic movements such as V-shaped turns, so he could only intersperse back and forth in the battlefield, relying on the speed advantage to shoot back and forth to force the enemy back.
Every time he was interspersed in the battlefield, Xiao Ran felt that he was really dancing with death, countless bullets were slashed around, and even stray bullets from friends, which made him feel his scalp numb, and it was interspersed three times, Xiao Ran seized the opportunity to blow up the other party while breaking the battleship with Jean, and once again obtained 500 points of merit.
Xiao Ran didn't dare to slow down the speed of the body, once he slowed down, relying on his D-level miscellaneous driving skills, he was not at all the opponent of Zaft Jean, who had a numerical advantage, and there was also a Holy Shield Gundam next to him, and even once in the process of Xiao Ran's interspersed with special close to the Strike Gundam, who knew that the Holy Shield Gundam actually gave up the entanglement with the Strike and rushed directly towards the lightning Jean, if it weren't for the Strike Gundam's quick reaction in front, maybe Xiao Ran would have retreated gloriously at this time.
