Chapter 169 Old Classmate in Red
After returning from Erin, He Kui did not return to the Director's District first, but took Shihe from the Design Bureau to the supermarket near the Plant District.
The food freshly transported from Earth is everywhere in the supermarket's refrigerated area.
It has been reduced a lot compared to the previous situation of being expensive and scarce, but in some aspects it is still too expensive.
After all, taxes have also increased a lot.
There is not much happiness on the faces of passers-by.
In a way, given the current war-weariness of the people of PLANT, it may not be long before a large-scale anti-war march will begin.
Of course, it is only relative. There are also many marches in December City, but the marchers are too light. For the crazy gangsters like the United, they should be dealt with heavily.
On the other hand, there are more neutrals in May City, who advocate technology rather than force, so they are relatively conservative.
"It's rare to come out to buy vegetables~ What do you want to eat~?"
Looking at the passers-by who were all buying vegetables by themselves, Shihe happily took He Kui's wrist and smiled softly.
Both of them had changed their clothes a little, wearing sunglasses and masks, so they didn't have to worry about being recognized.
"Let's eat fish, and buy some lobster."
"I'm asking you!"
Hearing that they were all foods she liked, Shihe glared at him.
"I'm not picky, so just buy some beef."
Now that there are millions of dollars in turnover, the two of them don't have to consider the price when buying vegetables at least.
"I knew it~"
"Then buy some more food that my parents like~?"
Shihe nodded with satisfaction, like a happy kitten.
"Okay."
"Next week is George Grahn's Day, can you come back before the holiday?"
"No problem."
"Well, then be careful~"
In the supermarket, Shihe secretly kissed He Kui's cheek.
The time they spent together revealed a sense of tranquility and happiness.
But above the quiet life, they are still shrouded in the haze of war.
He still needs to strengthen himself.
Looking back at his current abilities, his micro-control is close to S-level at this time.
Just wait for him to come back from Julius VII, and he should be able to break through, S-level, and he can sit firmly as the director of PLANT, or even go to the next level. The weapons he rubs will be more powerful and the shields will be stronger.
That is the road to a generation of master craftsmen.
He Kui took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and looked at the escape pod lying quietly in his garage.
He still needs to adjust the escape pod before setting off.
Keeping calm and with absolute control of his hands, He Kui opened the front cover of the vehicle in front of him.
The sealing and the connection of various parts can be tighter.
Everything is done smoothly under his more powerful micro-manipulation.
The next day, He Kui drove his escape pod directly from home to the port with Su Lei.
"Is this Director He Kui's escape pod?"
"It's really handsome."
The familiar iron wall watched He Kui come out of the car and escape pod in the hangar and said passionately.
"It has a retro aesthetic."
"Really?"
After all, he made it according to the Porsche in his memory. Although it feels a bit like SU7 after making it now, it does have a different aesthetic for the square models in this world.
"Can I drive it when we return to PLANT?"
Iron Wall's eyes were enthusiastic.
"Of course."
"Captain Iron Wall, do you know who is driving the test aircraft this time?"
"Speaking of which, the person this time also has a connection with Director He."
"Me?"
While he was still wondering, three people entered the hangar not far away.
In addition to the most familiar Courtney Hieronymus, there were also his old classmates in red, Marie Strau and Lika Sita.
"He Kui, long time no see~"
Lika Sita whispered, her eyes sparkling with eyes behind her glasses.
Although this is the case, the girl is actually blind due to a congenital defect.
She can only see things with glasses.
In contrast to the enthusiastic Lika, the golden-haired Marle Straus nodded coldly at He Kui, looking proud and unwilling to say more.
He is a loyal supporter of the supremacy of the adjuster.
In short, the current Sara party is a bit too stable for him.
He looks like a perfect male protagonist, but he is too narrow-minded, which is incompatible with the male protagonist's personality.
"He is always the same~"
The lively Lika smoothed things over between the two.
"Hello."
Perhaps the other party was jealous or something, He Kui didn't care too much about it, just smiled at the three people.
"It's you who are driving the three machines this time. I didn't expect such a coincidence that I could meet old classmates."
"Although that's what I said, Director He didn't invite us to dinner even though he was promoted."
"Don't tease me."
For this old acquaintance who hadn't seen him for a long time in the military academy, He Kui smiled and naturally took out a Hello.
"For you."
"You're still doing Hello~"
"Old business."
As soon as He Kui finished speaking, Ma Lie snorted.
"Ma Lie!"
Lika glared at him unhappily.
"He Kui's machine is really amazing. We need to get familiar with it. Do you have any questions?"
"Please."
There was no message, He Kui just chuckled and let the three of them go to the Loracia-class hangar next door.
Soon after the two returned to the room, Su Lei, who had been following He Kui, sat quietly on the bed and looked at He Kui.
"Were those two your classmates just now?"
"Yeah, there's just no communication."
Although Lika would chat with him, she was too busy at the time to pay attention to him.
"Humph, I don't think so."
Su Lei's words were filled with jealousy.
"It's different. He's innocent, but he doesn't look like you."
"伱"
Su Lei blushed and glared at him.
Before he could speak, he felt a soreness and numbness in his chest.
"Grow up a little."
"No!"
"That's too small?"
"go to hell!"
"It's safe until we leave PLANT's space."
Su Lei seemed to react to He Kui's words. Su Lei straightened her waist in He Kui's arms and began to cater to the movements of He Kui's hands.
Soon the girl's shy voice echoed in the well-sealed room.
After a while, while the two of them were cooperating, two Nazca-class ships also arrived near Julius Seven near L3.
At this time, He Kui had also stood up neatly dressed. Su Lei was still lazy, but she was also dressed.
"Are we going to L3?"
Su Lei said curiously with a satisfied blush on her face.
"Yes, it must be within the range that the Artemis Umbrella can detect with radar."
"You won't attack, will you?"
"Don't you know me yet?"
He Kui glanced at Su Lei's smooth nose in a funny way.
"Yes, he is a coward after all."
"I'm actually quite bold in some aspects."
"Huh, let's go!"
She was afraid that He Kui would drag her to fight for three hundred rounds and the captain would find out.
Su Lei walked out of the room without looking back.
"Your cockpit is so narrow."
Sitting on He Kui's lap, Su Lei blushed and protested.
"Why can't you sit on that Xigu?"
"This time we also want to test the performance of this long-range backpack, and we are within the range of Nazca, so it is safe."
According to the current armament of the Eurasian Federation, I'm afraid they don't even have mobile suits.
For a normal attack, at such a long range, this Nazca-class aircraft can 100% deploy a light shield before the attack arrives.
"That's the problem!"
Su Lei squirmed restlessly in He Kui's arms, bringing with her a burst of girlish fragrance.
"It was probably like this when we first landed on Earth."
“Before was before!”
Now if He Kui were here to do something to her.
I don't know why besides fear, Su Lei also has some weird expectations.
".I really didn't plan to do anything."
He Kui explained.
He had just finished venting his anger. Although it was okay, no matter how crazy he was, he would never do it here.
Soon, the captain's warm smile came through the screen in the communication interface.
This captain is the same person who escorted them to DSSD last time.
Just looking at it made He Kui feel a little more at ease.
Tiebi and others were also on standby in the hangar at this time, ready to attack at any time.
"The test can start at any time, Director He."
The captain said that because He Kui did not open the video, the captain did not know that there was another person inside.
"Wait a moment, we will start testing the data monitoring system after we finish it."
While He Kui was talking, his hands didn't stop on the keyboard inside Gates. Although he was half-hugging Su Lei, his movements were still quick.
"Your information engineer is getting better and better."
Su Lei forgot her shyness for a moment and sighed.
"good."
After quickly debugging the sensors that were retained inside the Nazca class and connected to the three new aircraft bodies of the Gates, He Kui opened the communication with the captain again.
"Okay, let's start testing."
