Chapter 258 [The Tail of the Serpent] arrives

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, in his eyes, am I just a girl with a big appetite?

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 an adjuster too?"

"Yes, it is."

"Then why did you board this ship? Isn't this the Earth Army's ship?"

"Um...this..." Kira didn't want to answer this question, so he 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.

"Is that so...it's hard, right?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Kira was stunned, but also 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?"

"You obviously don't want to fight, but you still want to join the fight. Is there any unavoidable reason?"

"……Um."

"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 born in this chaotic and turbulent world who is not fighting? 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 to have to hide under the table and pray for others to save me when danger comes. I want to control my own destiny, that's all."

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 Aslan's and I's good friend in elementary school, and Lux ​​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 turned back to look at Lux.

"Eh? Eh~!!!?"

"Ah, so Kira, you are also Aslan's friend? It's really a fate." Lux asked with an innocent smile.

"You...I...your...fiancée? Aslan's!?"

"Yes."

"Well... this is really..." Kira smiled bitterly, agreeing very much with what Yang Hui said. The world is really big, but sometimes, the small ones are really pitiful.

"Aslan...I saw him."

"Really? That 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 talk to Lux about everything she encountered in Heliopolis, why she joined the battle, and how she and Aslan... became enemies.

Maybe he was also an adjuster, so Kira also opened up his chatterbox. He didn't have the slightest doubt about Lux and told Lux ​​everything he had experienced.

Lux 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 be involved in the vortex of the war.

…

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're here. How is she doing?" Ma Liu asked Yang Hui.

"No problem, Kira is watching her."

"Kira..."

To be honest, Malu was still worried about leaving Kira to guard Lux. She knew Kira was kind and not a soldier. If Lux made some excessive demands, Kira would not be able to see the deeper meaning. , it is very likely to bring danger to them.

Moreover... Lux and Kira are both adjusters. What if... Lux instigates Kira to rebel? What should we do with the Archangel?

"Don't worry, I said hello, Lux won't mess around."

"……That's good."

"By the way, Captain Lamias, have you received any communication requests from nearby?" Yang Hui asked. He had notified [Serpent's Tail] early in the morning to be waiting for them nearby. Calculate the time at this time You should have already been contacted.

"not yet……"

"Beep beep beep..."

"Captain, received a communication request from an unknown signal!"

It was said that Cao Cao had arrived. As soon as Yang Hui asked about [The Tail of the Serpent], 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 [Giant Serpent's Tail], is this the ship Mr. Yang Hui is on?"

"Long time no see, Fenghua, why are you in charge of communications? Where is He? Where is Elijah? Where are Reed and Loretta? Are all the adults on your ship dead?" Yang Hui teased.

"I am the agent of [Giant Serpent's Tail], and I am naturally responsible for contacting the client. Please don't underestimate me." The girl turned into an angry steamed bun and complained to Yang Hui.

Fenghua Yazhe, an intern member of [Giant Serpent's Tail], is also the only daughter of another member Loretta Yazhe. Although she is not yet a formal member, she acts as an agent of [Giant Serpent's Tail] and has acted as an agent for Cong Yunhe in business negotiations. Although she is young, she has insight and action beyond adults.

"Hey, hey, hey! Master Yang Hui, we are listening!"

"You want to say bad things about us behind our backs? No way!"

As the rough and fiery voices sounded, the rough and strong man with short golden hair and the brown-skinned woman with a single ponytail squeezed out Fenghua Yazhe and occupied the screen.

The rough and strong man is Reed Wheeler, a formal member of [Giant Serpent's Tail], a former sergeant of the Earth Union. In the past, he was dismissed because of his alcoholism, but because of his high reputation, he still has connections within the United Army. Because of his excellent intelligence gathering ability, he has always been the intelligence core of [Giant Serpent's Tail].

The woman is Loretta Yazhe, Fenghua Yazhe's mother. She is a single mother, a natural person who is good at fighting skills and blasting. She is a hot mom. She is mainly responsible for standing operations and undercover. Occasionally, she will wear reinforced armor to support combat. She is good at taking care of people and is very popular among mercenaries. Many people are eager to become Fenghua Yazhe's stepfather, but no one has succeeded yet.

"Haha, so as an adult, can't you be a little self-conscious?" Yang Hui teased.

"Tsk, you nasty brat, I wouldn't have accepted your commission if I had known!"

"My daughter is the cutest!"

"You...what are you doing? Mom, I'm accepting a commission now!"

"Get out of the way."

A stern voice sounded, and Li De Wheeler and Yazhe's mother and daughter made way at the same time, revealing the voice behind them.

His stern face, even with orange sunglasses, couldn't hide his tough and handsome appearance. His dark brown hair was not well-groomed and looked a little messy, but it didn't affect his tough temperament at all, but added a touch of chic.

Cong Yunhe, the leader of the mercenary unit [Serpent Tail], is deeply trusted by his comrades and has a long-standing reputation in the underground world for completing impossible tasks. As the absolute core of the team, Cong Yunhe is even known as the "strongest mercenary".

"Long time no see, He. You look like you're doing well."

"Well, shall we start the commission now?"

"The commission starts. I will be the escort of this ship until we get out of ZAFT's pursuit and arrive at the Atlantic Federation lunar base."

"Understood. The commission starts."

This is Cong Yun He's style. He is straightforward and straightforward. Even if he has a good relationship with an acquaintance, he won't exchange too many pleasantries. Everything is based on the mission.

But Cong Yun He doesn't accept all commissions. Unlike other people who are willing to do all kinds of "dirty work" for money, He often considers whether to accept mission requests from a moral and political perspective. Therefore, he rarely accepts deliberate "killing", suppression or other sabotage missions, which also provides a good reputation for [Tail of the Giant Serpent].

After the communication ended, everyone looked at Yang Hui.

"...Didn't you tell them?" Yang Hui asked Malu.

"Uh...I haven't had time yet..." Malu was embarrassed. She did forget to inform the crew about this matter. In addition, she rescued Lux ​​later, so she really forgot about the first encounter for a while.

Then, Malu informed everyone about Yang Hui's hiring of [Giant Serpent's Tail], but it did not cause any disturbance. After all, Malu was the captain and their military chief. They only needed to obey orders, and the mercenary guards also added a layer of security for them. They paid for it, so only a fool would be happy.

At this time, a new hope appeared in front of everyone.

"Captain!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Received an encrypted pulse signal... This is! The encrypted pulse signal of the Earth Army's Eighth Orbital Fleet!"

"Is it confirmed?"

"Can it be tracked?" Baki Lulu asked quickly.

"Doing it... Start analyzing!"

"... Zizi... Zizi... This is... the advance of the Eighth Fleet... Montgomery... Archangel... Reply..."

"It's the troops under Commodore Halberton!"

"Yahoo~!"

"Is he looking for us?"

"Where is the location?"

"Is it Major Koopman's troops?"

"Great!"

The heavy mood that Malu, Bakilu, Arnold and others had been feeling all the way here was finally released. They felt like they had finally found their home.

But... Yang Hui was the only one who showed a worried expression after everyone else.
