Gundam UC Hunting Time

Of course, he didn't know at that moment that Lin Xingyuan had already destroyed four more machines, bringing his total to six, including the two he had just taken down—a truly ruthless killing machine. (I've forgotten exactly how many he shot down...)

"Is that so... The mission failed. Let's retreat."

Lin Xingyuan sighed and was about to step forward to help when suddenly, a chill, like an electric shock, rose from his tailbone and shot all the way to his forehead. At the same time, a strange feeling arose in his heart, a premonition that seemed familiar and carried a strong sense of danger.

This is--!?

An inexplicable sense of unease prompted Lin Xingyuan to move sideways rapidly at the first moment. The next second, a tracer bullet passed through his original position and hit the wreckage next to him.

Lin Xingyuan suddenly turned around and looked in the direction from which the shell had come—on a piece of broken Mse wreckage, a huge figure stood tall, looking down at them with its single pink eye.

The red Zaku, its color slightly different from Crimson Lightning—is Char!

【Quack! It's Char!】

How did it get here?!

Are you waiting for the PL (presumably a partner or salesperson)?

This is undoubtedly love!

The barrage of comments immediately went viral, further proving the other party's popularity.

"There are enemy planes again!?"

Captain Ricardo quickly assumed a fighting stance, but then heard Lin Xingyuan's warning.

"Run! That's a red comet; you can't handle it."

The Red Comet was infamous, and Ricardo's team captain had naturally heard of it. He broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly pulled his battered teammates back. Seeing that Lin Xingyuan was not moving, he anxiously asked.

"Lieutenant Lin, and you?"

"I'll hold him off, let's go!"

Lin Xingyuan said in a deep voice, raising the machine gun and aiming it. He already knew in his heart that Xia Ya's target was him!

Those Zaku guards just now, he might have deliberately sent them over to wear him down!

What a cunning fellow!

Feeling betrayed and manipulated, Lin Xingyuan spat in frustration.

"interesting……"

In the cockpit of the Red Commander Zaku II, Char Aznable muttered the same words to himself.

"What exactly is this subtle feeling?"

Filled with a sense of curiosity, Char Aznable pressed the fire button, firing at the black Zani. However, Zani dodged the incoming shells as if drifting, and was even able to retaliate.

Oh, just like I can feel you, can you feel me too!?

On the other side, noticing that the battle had resumed, the captain of the royal guard who had previously retreated returned, firing rockets while demanding Char's cooperation.

"Major Aznabul, you provide cover from the other side! Let's take him down! For Dozrukaka—"

however--

Tch, what a nuisance!

Char scoffed, not immediately cooperating as the other party had hoped. As a result, the black Zani executed a nimble turn while moving at high speed, its tracer round piercing straight into the chest of the captain's aircraft. Only after the captain's aircraft exploded into a dazzling fireball did he feign concern and speak.

"This enemy is tough to fight—sorry I warned you too late."

Thus, once again only two aircraft remained on the battlefield.

Lin Xingyuan, having successfully captured another machine, did not stop. He turned the muzzle of the Gatling gun on his shoulder toward Xia, intending to restrain him. However, the Gatling gun only turned twice before stopping, and the missile launcher on his left shoulder was also empty.

Lin Xingyuan was startled. Looking at the ammunition levels, he realized that after a series of fierce battles, he had run out of ammunition for his other weapons, and only his machine gun had one magazine left!

shit!

Chapter 54 Char's Luck Has Never Been E

Can you survive?

The long-lost voice echoed in his ears again, and Lin Xingyuan immediately dodged it. However, the red Zaku standing on the wreckage did not attack immediately. It looked down at the black Zani below as if it were mocking him.

What happened?

Why aren't you doing anything yet?

Lin Xingyuan was taken aback when he couldn't understand the comments, but he quickly grasped Xia's meaning.

"This guy wants an equal duel!"

Some viewers familiar with Char's personality pointed this out in the comments.

What arrogance!

Lin Xingyuan felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.

What does this guy think of war?!

[That's just how Char is, isn't it the same in Counterattack?]

What's the point of winning against a disgraceful MS?

Should we call him a proud warrior?

[Pi, he's just a capricious guy.]

As if to confirm the opinions of the viewers, the red Zaku standing on high took down a rocket magazine and threw it at the black Zani (who was using a captured Zaku rocket launcher).

This is now absolutely certain.

It must be said that Xia's actions were very charismatic and eye-catching, but as his opponent, Lin Xingyuan did not feel any fairness, only a sense of humiliation from being completely looked down upon.

That's why you always look down on people!

The famous lines posted in the comments section fueled Lin Xingyuan's fighting spirit.

However, since he was willing to do so, Lin Xingyuan had no objection. He manipulated Zani to catch the rocket magazine and insert it into the rocket launcher. After first consuming an energy potion to replenish his stamina, he raised the machine gun and opened fire on the Zaku standing high above!

The red Zaku leaped up, dodging the shells, then swooped down, mounted its machine gun, and launched a counterattack against the black Zani.

Lin Xingyuan quickly made a judgment, turned the control stick, and stepped on the pedal. The black Zani immediately moved sideways to avoid the attack, leaving the shells behind, and rushed into a piece of Magellan's wreckage next to it. Xia immediately stopped firing and changed positions, but at this moment, the black Zani, which had just crawled into the wreckage, leaned out from its original position again, aimed at the moving red Zaku, and pulled the trigger.

Unlike the tentative bursts of fire just now, this time it was a fierce, fully automatic barrage.

The red Zaku returned fire while in motion, unleashing a precise barrage. One shell grazed Zani's shoulder armor, throwing the machine into disarray. Lin Xingyuan was startled and hastily retreated, but Xia relentlessly pursued, firing continuously and forcing Lin Xingyuan to continue retreating. Meanwhile, Xia performed tactical maneuvers with almost artistic flair, dodging shells and relentlessly unleashing his firepower.

As expected of a red comet! Fast enough!

Seeing that he was on the defensive and would inevitably be defeated if things continued, Lin Xing made a desperate decision. He used his shield, the empty Gatling gun, and the missile launcher to take the incoming shells head-on, and then opened fire in full force to counterattack. The offensive and defensive situation immediately reversed. Xia Ya quickly maneuvered to evade and hid behind a piece of wreckage.

"Tsk!"

The wreckage was a Magellan-class ship, so large that it was impossible to predict where Char would emerge to attack.

Lin Xingyuan was focused on observing, while behind the wreckage, Xia Ya had already switched his weapon to a rocket launcher. He found a gap in the wreckage, extended the rocket launcher, and pulled the trigger towards Zani, who was moving towards him.

As the rockets came hurtling towards him, Lin Xingyuan immediately dodged. The missing rockets struck the wreckage behind him, and the shattered lock plates pounded against the aircraft, making a disturbing sound. With a moment's distraction, the Crimson Comet leaped out from behind the wreckage, performing eye-catching tactical maneuvers while unleashing a barrage of fire at the Black Zani.

"Well……"

Lin Xingyuan gritted his teeth, maneuvering his mech backward to reduce the area vulnerable to impact. Simultaneously, he used the main thrusters on his back to propel himself backward at full power, quickly retreating behind another piece of wreckage. This time, the Crimson Comet did not recklessly pursue, but cautiously approached, prepared to open fire at any moment.

Black Zani peeked out from the other side of the wreckage and was immediately bombarded by the Red Comet. However, Lin Xingyuan had also memorized the enemy's position and immediately peeked out from another direction, unleashing a fierce barrage in that direction. Xia Ya had anticipated this and moved ahead of time, launching a counterattack that forced Black Zani to retreat again.

In just a few seconds of pulling, Lin Xingyuan's back was soaked with cold sweat.

He quickly sketched out the positions of both sides in his mind, judged Xia's speed and angle of movement by intuition, and suddenly leaned out and fired the rocket launcher.

The rocket that suddenly attacked almost grazed the machine. Xia was so startled that he turned around and saw that the black Zani had jumped out from behind the wreckage and was rapidly approaching from the right. He immediately turned his machine around and retaliated.

The missing rocket struck the wreckage behind Black Zani, nearly splitting the warship in two. Black Zani quickly burrowed into another piece of wreckage and did not resurface for a moment.

"Well done!"

This relentless barrage of attacks was relentless, and the enemy managed to evade the fire at crucial moments—their reactions were so swift, it was as if they could predict the trajectory of the shells. Char couldn't help but give his opponent a thumbs up, but he also realized that such a firefight was unlikely to determine a victor quickly.

On the other hand, Lin Xingyuan made the same judgment.

He glanced at his remaining ammunition; there was only enough for two more bursts. He took a deep breath, once again maneuvering his machine to emerge from behind the wreckage, and fired a series of shots at Xia's Zaku. Xia swiftly shifted his position, his machine flipping and rising, then suddenly braking, firing wildly headfirst into the wreckage, forcing Lin Xingyuan back into the wreckage, while he himself simultaneously disappeared into the wreckage.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment, and only then did the barrage of bullets begin to pour out.

[Great! This is exactly what we wanted to see!]

That was so exciting!

[Simple yet dangerous, completely different from the animation]

[Watch out! Char is about to pull a dirty trick!]

As the barrage of prompts rolled across his vision, Lin Xingyuan realized this as well. His first thought was to learn from Amuro and set up a trap with a steel cable, but he lacked the right tools. So he simply chose a suitable position, fired the rocket anchor mounted on his waist at the wreckage, and then hung in the shadow of the wreckage like a spider, waiting for Char to show himself.

The intense battle and complete focus activated all of Lin Xingyuan's skills. Concealment made him harder to detect, rapid defense allowed him to evade at the first moment, and Eagle Eye and Insight ensured that he would not miss any clues.

Now is the time to try your luck.

As everyone knows, Char has always had terrible luck.

"There it is!"

The red Zaku moved silently to the other side of the wreckage, searched left and right, and finally found the black Zani in a concealed position. Char's lips curled into a confident smile, and he manipulated the machine to fire a rocket!

No sooner said than done, at the same moment Xia launched the rocket launcher, Lin Xingyuan, who had immediately noticed the anomaly, reacted instantly. The black Zani moved swiftly, dodging the rocket, and then charged toward the red Zaku amidst a deafening explosion. Xia immediately turned the cannon around and fired another rocket at the black Zani, who was now within arm's reach.

"This time, you can't escape it!"

The rocket was fired from the barrel, heading straight for the charging black Zani. However, the shot, which should have been foolproof, only hit the afterimage of the black Zani. In the nick of time, the winch connecting the rocket anchor cable started up instantly, contracting at high speed and pulling the machine off its original track. At the same time, the black Zani fired a rocket at the red Zaku!

I couldn't get down after cleaning the windows, just finished and am updating now.

Chapter Fifty-Five: I really don't want to admit it...

A massive rocket hurtled towards them. In a flash, the red Zaku swerved to the side, making way for the rocket. However, the missing rocket struck the wreckage behind it, engulfing it in the explosion. Taking advantage of this moment, the black Zani activated its thrusters, its machine swinging out of the shadows like a pendulum. With an incredible tactical maneuver, it broke free from the wreckage, severed the steel cables, and accelerated its escape.

[Did you take it down!?]

[Can't see clearly]

Seeing the red comet surrounded by the smoke and flames of the explosion, the comments section was in an uproar, but out of trust in the escaped Newtype, no one thought Char would be killed.

Lin Xingyuan didn't think so either. It wasn't because Xia was an escape type Newtype, but because he had already developed the 'feel' of a warrior. Whether he hit or not, the feeling was completely different.

"We're running low on shells...only two rockets left, and the fuel and coolant are almost gone..."

Although the modification increased the carrying capacity of this mobile suit, it's only a matter of whether it can last another minute—if it were a standard Zaku II, it would have overheated and crashed long ago.

As he assessed the machine's condition, Lin Xingyuan's brow furrowed in worry.
