Chapter 415 - Chapter 415: Nuclear Explosion in May City

That night, He Kui engaged in several intense battles with the enthusiastic women.

At this point, the unlocking of thirty thousand quantum communications and ten thousand electronic deceptions had been completed.

The fully developed Electronic Deception program could effectively disguise itself as enemy aircraft for a semi-permanent duration.

Of course, its utility on the main battlefield was limited.

However, it might yield some unexpected results in terms of surprise tactics.

As for quantum communication, it goes without saying that if he invested a billion to upgrade the base, its simultaneous reception range could exceed ten kilometers.

Naturally, the receiving devices on the machines also needed to be upgraded to be effective.

Fortunately, upgrading the machines was relatively simple; as long as there were parts, he could do it himself.

However, a billion parts could not be purchased through official PLANT channels.

The best method was to find a scrap dealer.

Mattias, as a long-time partner in the scrap business, had a reputation for reliability.

Mattias might have some suspicions, and it would be a good opportunity to test him; otherwise, who would he turn to for materials in the future?

"It would be nice to be the Speaker," He Kui remarked, gazing at the dim yellow streetlight not far away.

At least with his own power, he could account for these things.

Of course, the premise was to have power.

Otherwise, being the Speaker would only make him a puppet controlled by others.

As the Speaker, his authority was not limitless.

He wasn't also the Minister of Defense.

"What nonsense are you talking about at this late hour?" Sulei said, stretching lazily.

"I'm serious, okay? You all will be the Speaker's wives in the future."

"Then you have quite a few wives; is the Speaker leading the way in breaking the law?"

Sulei gave He Kui a hard slap on the top of his head.

"Of course not! I can amend the laws."

"Heh, dream on. Hurry up and sleep; everything is possible in dreams."

Sulei shot him a glare.

"I can't sleep. Want to go another round?"

After being enhanced by Cagalli, He Kui was not one to surrender easily.

Now, Sulei's favorability rating was nearing 180; with a little more effort, wouldn't he be able to cultivate new technology?

"Can you play by yourself?"

"Not really~"

With that, He Kui suddenly pinned Sulei, who was sleeping beside him, onto Meyrin.

Work hard; a bright tomorrow awaits them!

The next day, He Kui hurriedly took Setona to the scrap dealer's shop in May City.

"Mr. He, Miss Setona," the owner at the door greeted them respectfully.

"Is Mr. Mattias in?"

"Of course."

After responding to He Kui, the owner was about to welcome them inside when a loud bang suddenly echoed throughout the port, accompanied by a strong tremor.

Immediately, the entire central port of May City went dark.

The daylight-like lighting had vanished, leaving only faint orange emergency lights cycling to indicate the nearest escape pod direction.

"Enemy attack!?"

Panic appeared on the owner's face, and even the usually calm Setona couldn't help but grip He Kui's hand tightly.

"It's okay," He Kui reassured.

No one should know he was here.

Was it for him? Or for the Design Bureau?

Why hadn't the alerts he set around him gone off?

Thinking this, He Kui pressed on his wristband.

Instantly, the three Little Birds that were on alert around him scattered.

The five Haros beside him, which originally had light blue eyes, now glowed with a menacing red light.

Although they didn't seem very intimidating, their defensive capabilities were top-notch.

"Quick, both of you, get to the safe room!" the owner urged, watching He Kui's actions.

"Setona, you go."

"The safe room is very secure!"

The girl was unusually resolute, faintly exuding the authority of a princess, and she resembled Lacus even more.

"Waiting for death is not my style, and if I go in, it will expose me. Their target shouldn't be me."

He Kui gave Lika and Iron Wall, who were trying to rush in from outside, a calming look.

The reason his alerts hadn't gone off was simply that no one was targeting him, and there were no enemies nearby; perhaps they didn't even know he was here.

This meant it was clear: this was a feigned attack to draw attention, while also paralyzing the entire port and throwing May City into chaos.

And the reason for this? It was obvious that the Design Bureau was worth their trouble.

He Kui had a rough guess about how they infiltrated, although he wasn't clear on how they managed to transport so much equipment here in a short time without a mass driver.

But if it was as he suspected, it would be quite troublesome; there might even be a batch of Atlantic Federation MS nearby. If no countermeasures were taken, the Design Bureau could very well be breached.

If those Mobile Suits were carrying nuclear bombs, they wouldn't have much time left. If the people here died, it would be a headache for him.

As long as he remained in the safety of the shadows, with a group of elite troops outside, and his newly equipped Liberator with Nano Machines still parked at the Design Bureau, they still had a chance.

Moreover, the current situation was quite troublesome.

He had come here to conduct business; there was originally nothing wrong with that, as everyone cooperated in the scrap business. He was merely entering their VIP area. However, if he went in to take refuge, Lika and the others would definitely follow, dragging Mattias into it as well.

Retreating was not an option; the entire port was paralyzed, and he couldn't return to the asteroid. No matter what, he could only move forward.

"I'll be careful. Setona, do you have the Haro I sent with you?"

"Yes!"

"Release it and head to the safe room."

He Kui patted Setona's head.

Meanwhile, outside the radar station in the PLANT area, in the command room of a stealth Archangel-class ship, a woman named Mattias, the clan leader and commander of the Earth Alliance's special intelligence department, turned to Creuset, who stood behind her wearing a mask.

Her eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint.

"If the intelligence is false, I won't hesitate to bring your death date forward."

"Of course, Lady Mattias," Creuset replied, his tone as elegant as ever, tinged with a cold indifference.

It seemed he didn't care much for his own life.

"Hmph."

Mattias snorted coldly and continued, "But to think of using the natural movement of meteors to deceive the radar, you are indeed clever."

"Thank you; this can be considered knowing oneself and one's enemy," Creuset smiled.

He Kui's Mirage particles radar monitoring was not difficult to bypass; the radar detected based on the heat emitted by engines.

But what if there was no heat? If they lay on a meteor or even drifted past using inertia, they could evade detection.

He Kui's radar was far from making PLANT feel secure.

Seizing the Design Bureau's data and then nuclear bombing May City's first district would completely paralyze the research capabilities of mobile soldiers in the entire PLANT.

The deaths caused by the nuclear explosion would further exacerbate the already easing tensions between both sides due to the Atlantic Federation war.

This was the flame of nuclear explosion, the prelude to the end of the world.

As he thought about this, a sinister smile crept onto Creuset's face.

Unfortunately, that person's base was difficult to invade silently.

But it didn't matter now.

His colleagues, friends, and the masses who adored and trusted him to protect them, the foolish people who regarded He Kui as their guardian deity, had no idea how many were in that May City.

If they all died because of He Kui's radar vulnerabilities, he was curious to see what kind of person He Kui would become.
