Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

Watching Erica turn and leave, the smile on Xiao Yun's face showed no change. He picked up the box Luo gave him, started the car, stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

After passing through the uninhabited area and advancing twenty or thirty kilometers in the desert, Xiao Yun returned to the base of Dawn Desert again.

As soon as we drove into the canyon where the base was located, we saw the Archangel parked on the edge, and the Strike Gundam laying a camouflage net on the Archangel.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. At this time, the sun had just begun to set westward from the center. Only then did Xiao Yun realize that he had not slept all night.

After asking where the leader of Ashuman was, Xiao Yun followed the path and found Ashuman in a cave in the canyon.

Inside the cave is the headquarters of Dawn Desert. As soon as Xiao Yun entered, he saw Ashuman sitting on the sand table map in the middle. Ma Liu, Baji Lulu and Mu were standing aside. They seemed to be discussing something. .

"Hi."

Xiao Yun raised his hand and waved to a few people, sniffed the tip of his nose and said to Ashuman with a smile: "It tastes good, do you mind giving me a drink?"

Asiuman stood up and walked aside, poured a cup of coffee for Xiao Yun and handed it over: "Is the matter done?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yun took a sip of the coffee and suddenly felt a shiver all over his body: "Wow, it's so bitter. It smells really good."

Ashuman: “We don’t pay attention to taste here. The smell is the only thing that can be picky.”

Xiao Yun chuckled: "Although I say that, the effect is really good. This one sip makes me feel full of energy, but sweet coffee is more suitable for me."

Ashman shook his head, returned to the table just now, and said to the people on the Archangel: "The man is already here. Although he works for us, his main task is to provide protection and assistance, and he will not take the initiative to join. As for our battle, the battle that occurred last night was purely accidental, and we just encountered the ZAFT army that was originally going to attack you in advance."

"So if you have any requests, you can discuss them with him in person. If he agrees, we will not object. But if he refuses, I hope you will not force it. It is up to him to decide whether to join the war."

As soon as Xiao Yun heard Ashuman's words, he looked at Ma Liu and the others, which seemed to mean that there was something he wanted him to do.

"Of course." Ma Liu nodded and looked at Xiao Yun and said, "Hello, we hope to hire you to assist us in the next period of time until we open the passage out of here."

Xiao Yun pointed at himself, glanced at Ashuman strangely and said to Ma Liu, "Hire me?"

Malu affirmed: "Yes."

Xiao Yun pulled Asiuman aside and whispered: "What's going on."

Ashuman explained to Xiao Yun: "They want to break through the tiger's defense line, but their current combat power is insufficient. After knowing that you are a mercenary, they want to entrust you to help."

Xiao Yun thought thoughtfully: "Is that just it?"

Ashman nodded: "On the surface, it seems like this. It is indeed a bit difficult to break through the tiger's defense line with a ship and a mobile suit. In addition, our original goal is to resist the tiger's rule here. The other party's Although the goals are different, the result is the same. They can't leave without solving the tiger."

"They expressed the hope that you can participate in the war as a main combat force. Although I hired you in name, you know the actual situation, so I did not agree for you. After all, the decision of whether to participate in the war is in your hands. , I excused myself with the excuse that I only hired you for assistance and protection."

After Ashman explained, Xiao Yun finally understood the cause and effect, and said, "So they proposed to hire me as an additional employee?"

Ashuman said: "That's right."

"I understand." Xiao Yun nodded, walked back and said to Ma Liu and the others: "I can accept the employment matter, as long as the price is reasonable, there is no problem, but after all, it is to join the battle with the regular army head-on. So we have to have a good discussion about the price."

Ma Liu said: "Sorry, I'm afraid we can't meet your request in terms of money for the time being, but if you are willing to accept it, we are willing to use other things as payment for this employment."

Xiao Yun asked: "For example?"

Ma Liu said: "Equipment for MS."

Xiao Yun suddenly smiled: "It's interesting. What's the equipment used by your MS? As far as I know, those equipment are not worth the risk for me to fight against the regular army."

"Brother, those equipment are very valuable in the eyes of many people." Mu Hehe smiled and took over the conversation: "As long as you find the right seller, I will definitely make a lot of money for you, brother."

Xiao Yun pretended to hesitate and thought for a moment, then said: "Actually, I am a waste merchant and not a mercenary, so I can wait until the battle between you and ZAFT is over before going to search your ship. In this way, I can also We no longer have to face ZAFT’s regular army.”

Mu: "???"

"Just kidding." Xiao Yun chuckled and waved his hand: "But if you are willing to open your equipment library to me, then this matter cannot be considered. Besides, once I agree to you, even if I use your equipment, it will actually be for you. work."

Ma Liu smiled and said, "No problem."

When the three people on the Archangel left, Xiao Yun shook his head in confusion: "It's inexplicable. Why would these people be willing to use those things as reward for me?"

Ashman also shook his head to express that he was not sure, but he also had his own opinion: "The equipment that can be used is called equipment, and the equipment that cannot be used can only be regarded as decoration. I am afraid that the current situation does not allow them to put more things into it." It’s just put in the warehouse as a display.”

"Function?"

The two words Ashuman said made Xiao Yun suddenly understand something: "So that's it, maybe it's really just a decoration. The Assault is not needed but can be left to me."

Asiuman didn't quite understand what Xiao Yun said, so he shook his head and said, "I've asked someone to prepare a resting place for you. Do you want to go and rest for a while?"

"Alright."

Xiao Yun did not refuse, and then Cajiali appeared in front of Xiao Yun, and said to Xiao Yun with a straight face and a cold face: "Follow me."

After saying hello to Ashuman, Xiao Yun followed Cagalli out of the command room. Following Cagalli, Cagalli suddenly asked, "Why did you agree?"

"Agree to assist the Archangel?" Xiao Yun laughed and said: "Isn't your purpose to help Dawn Desert deal with the threat of tigers? Now that the help of the Archangel appears, it is the best chance to eliminate the tigers in one fell swoop. , I don’t agree, why should I hold back?”

"What's more, if you agree, you can get rewards from the Archangel, and even if I don't agree, I still have to fight ZAFT to protect your safety. In this case, of course I have to find some benefits for myself first, and besides, I have The MS equipment provided by the Archangel can also exert greater power, and my mission can be completed easily. No matter how you look at it, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in agreeing."
