Chapter 252 An Irresistible Bait

The scarce supplies were fully replenished. No matter which route they chose, they no longer had to worry about shortages before arriving at the lunar base.

However... which road to take next became a problem for the three people.

"The wreckage area? It is indeed the shortest route, but..." Mu looked at the universe map with a headache. From their current position, passing through the wreckage area is indeed the shortest route, but the wreckage area is originally a large wreckage universe that is gradually gathered together due to the gravity of the earth. If you are not careful, the Archangel will also become a member of the wreckage.

But choosing other paths will take a long detour. Although ZAFT's pursuers have been temporarily shaken off, no one knows when the enemy will catch up. Taking a long detour means a longer time, which also means that the probability of fighting with the enemy will be greatly increased.

Moreover, the intelligence given by Maddock at the end is also worth thinking about by the three people.

"Surprise... To be honest, the last thing we want to encounter now is a surprise." Mu shook his head and said.

"But... Lieutenant Bakilulu, are you sure that the other party has known our identity?" Malu confirmed with Bakilulu.

"Can't be sure..." Baki Lulu shook her head. Even if the Waste Recycling Merchants Union has its own intelligence network, the information of the Archangel is confidential within the Atlantic Federation, and they can't get it.

Then combined with Maddock's answer to Baki Lulu, it should be only a certain degree of judgment, and her reaction gave the other party a definite answer?

Thinking of this, Baki Lulu wanted to slap herself.

"... But it is very likely."

"Is that so..." Malu couldn't judge for a while. She also agreed with what Mu said. The Archangel didn't need a surprise at the moment.

"Wait! I suddenly thought of a possibility." Mu suddenly exclaimed.

"What possibility?"

"Could this information... have been originally... intended for us?" Mu suddenly thought of a possibility, but quickly denied it, "No, no, no, it shouldn't be. Yang Hui also said that the other party's relationship with the Atlantic Federation is not very good, and with their style of doing things, they will not give information to customers who meet for the first time for free. Yang Hui is possible..."

"How about... let's ask Yang Hui to analyze it?"

"Hmm?" X2

Malu and Mu were stunned when they heard Baki Lulu's suggestion, and their expressions became very strange.

"Why... what's wrong?"

"No, it's just unexpected that you actually want Yang Hui to provide advice."

"Hmm..."

Baki Lulu's decision really surprised the two. According to Baki Lulu's personality, the three of them are now discussing the action route of the Archangel. This is the internal military affairs of the Atlantic Federation. It is impossible to invite Yang Hui, an outsider who is an important member of Orb, to participate. Even if Yang Hui wants to join, Baki Lulu should use the reasons of "internal military affairs" and "military secrets" to expel him.

"...I just consider that Yang Hui knows them best. Instead of the three of us making random guesses, it's better to ask Yang Hui to analyze it. Of course, the final decision still needs to be made by the captain." Bakilulu blushed and explained.

Malu and Mu looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Okay, then let Yang Hui come for reference."

"Yes, Captain."

Soon, Yang Hui was awakened from his sleep and was taken to the captain's office by Bakilulu.

"Captain Lamias, Captain Flaca, is there anything else you need help with?" Yang Hui asked a little depressed. He hadn't rested for a long time. Who knew that Bakilulu dragged him out of the bed not long after he fell asleep.

Malu and Mu were stunned. They heard complaints and dissatisfaction in Yang Hui's tone. At the same time, they looked at Bakilulu, wanting to know how she had offended Yang Hui again.

"The situation... the situation is urgent. The Archangel's navigation route is more important. You can sleep anytime..."

"Uh..."

The two understood that Yang Hui was resting, but was dragged here by Bakilulu.

"Well, Yang Hui, we really need your help now. The Archangel can't stay here forever, so... you have to bear with it." Malu apologized.

"Alas, the Archangel's next action trajectory is internal military affairs. Is it really okay for me, an outsider, to participate?" Yang Hui sighed and asked the three people helplessly.

"Uh..." The three people were stunned and smiled self-deprecatingly. They had worried about whether Yang Hui would explore intelligence or secretly control the Archangel. They didn't expect that the first sentence he spoke was to avoid suspicion.

"It's like this. The reason we invited you here is..."

Then Malu told Yang Hui the reason for their hesitation and the reason for inviting him.

After listening, Yang Hui also frowned and began to think. After about two or three minutes, he gave an answer.

"Madoc is a man who won't give away information until he sees the rabbit. He won't give away information for free. He must have some ulterior motive." Yang Hui said to the three people.

"Is it a trap?" The three people frowned and immediately rejected the idea of ​​going directly through the wreckage area, but Yang Hui's next words made them hesitate again.

"It is very likely a trap, but...Madoc will never do anything without a purpose. Judging from his cunning, even if this is really a trap, there must be bait, and this bait is very tempting to us, so great that we can't give it up."

"Such an important bait? What could it be?"

"...I don't know, a bait that is attractive to both of us...Wait! The wreckage area! [Julius 7]!" Yang Hui may have thought of what this bait is.

The [Julius 7] ruins in the center of the wreckage area, at this point in time, there is only one bait that is very important to Yang Hui!

Lacus Klein!

Because Yang Hui traveled between Orb and PLANT several times for the purpose of cooperation, he had contact with PLANT's top leaders Siegel Klein and Padrick Sara, and naturally met Lacus, and...

To be honest, after several exchanges, his relationship with Lacus is really not bad, and they are good friends. If Lacus really went to [Julius 7] to prepare for the memorial event as in the original plot, then her situation is very dangerous now!

But...that's not right!

Because in the original plot, before Kira found Lacus, he had already met the reconnaissance type [Zion] that went to rescue her. Logically, without the appearance of the Archangel, she should have been rescued by the ZAFT army. Is there any variable?

If this is true, then Lacus is really in danger, and Yang Hui must go to the wreckage area no matter what.

Lacus is important to Yang Hui, but what about the Archangel? What is important?

If Maddock guessed that the Archangel was a battleship of the Earth Army, he must have thought that the voyage of this battleship was not something Yang Hui could easily control, so the information he gave was definitely not for him alone. He hoped that the Archangel would also go to the wreckage area, so...

What is the bait that Malu and Bakilulu can't ignore?

"The Eighth Orbital Fleet... The Advance Fleet...!"

This conclusion cannot be drawn by just analyzing the intelligence in hand, but Yang Hui knows the plot. After learning that the Archangel was missing, Duane Halberton sent the advance fleet to meet the Archangel, but it was attacked by the Cruze team before the meeting and was eventually destroyed.

The Archangel that went to rescue was finally saved by Bakilulu using Lacus's life as a threat, otherwise, even the Archangel would sink here.

"But... the time, route, and events have all changed, so... will it be the same as before? Maybe... it will be even worse?"

Seeing that Yang Hui had entered a state of thinking, the three did not dare to disturb Yang Hui. Now, they still regarded Yang Hui as the backbone. Even if Yang Hui was not a soldier of the Earth Army, they would listen to his advice seriously.

"Go, go and see." Yang Hui finally decided.

"But... if it is a trap, what should we do?" Malu said worriedly.

"That's right, with the current combat power of the Archangel, it can't withstand the attack of the ZAFT Army at all." Mu added.

"Then find helpers to enhance the existing combat power."

"Helpers? Could it be friendly forces? But we are now..."

"No, not the Earth Army."

"Not the Earth Army?"

"Yes, wait a minute."

After speaking, Yang Hui turned and left the captain's office, and came back not long after. When he came back, he brought some sophisticated instruments that they had never seen before.

"What is this?"

"I secretly brought aboard with the Strike Gundam a quantum communication device that I developed independently. It can communicate over long distances in real time. It is still in the experimental stage, so it is not yet popularized. I only gave it to people who need to contact urgently when necessary." Yang Hui explained to the three people while starting the communication device.

"Long-distance real-time communication!?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Is this really possible?"

"You did it yourself? This... this is simply..."

The three people couldn't believe it. As soldiers, they experienced an isolated and helpless environment. They knew very well what this meant. If they had the same equipment and contacted the Eighth Orbital Fleet at the beginning, their crisis would be reduced by more than half.

"Zizi... Zizi... There is a commission... Zizi... Received... Answer... Zizi..."

"It seems to be connected." Hearing the voice of the other party in the communication, Yang Hui smiled. This was just a test product with the longest communication distance. The other party's position was erratic. Whether he could contact him was also unknown, but fortunately he succeeded.

"This is Yang Hui. Please reply if you receive it."

"Received... Zizi... This is... [Giant Serpent's Tail]... Zizi... I didn't expect... to use... one day... Zizi... The content of the commission..."

"How long does it take to reach the wreckage area, near the ruins of [Julius 7]?"

"Calculate the route... Zizi... It takes... three days..."

"Three days?... It's in time. I now formally entrust you to meet me near the ruins of [Julius 7] and serve as an escort. The reward... I heard from Luo that you have already obtained the machine, right?"

"That... recycler... Zizi... That's right..."

"The reward is that [Dawn Society] will customize your machine once, how about it?"

"... OK... I will go out immediately... Zizi..."

"This time, my life is in your hands, He."

"... Since it is a commission... Zizi... I will definitely... complete it..."
