Chapter 19: The Beginning of the Age of Chaos
By the time I arrived at the underground hangar, it was already in a sea of fire, the smell of smoke was in the air, and the boxes were burning in a mountain of goods. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the ground is mixed with human blood and spray water stains, it seems that someone tried in vain to put out the fire but was shot through the body by the enemy's bullet behind him. As a rough estimate, there are probably about fifty or so corpses left here.
Char frowned, he just smelled the smell of roasted meat. Lift a bucket and throw it at the nearest corpse, extinguishing the fire on the body, and the smell of flesh disappears. Only then did Char barely furnish his brows and continue to walk towards the interior of the warehouse.
The pipe, which was originally used to transport goods, was not engulfed in the fire, but it was the main passage to the surface and underground, so it was also the center of contention on the battlefield. More than a hundred humans have died on a battlefield that is even more tragic than the battlefield outside. Some fell with their fingers still on the trigger, the surrounding white walls stained red with human blood, and streams of blood flowing underground.
The Federation forces that invaded the area numbered about seventy people, but they were accidentally surrounded by the family guard regiment of the Bister Consortium, and a fierce battle ensued. The people of the Bister Consortium have the upper hand in numbers and are more well-equipped, but they are not as elite as the Federation soldiers who have survived from the front-line battlefields. So the scuffle lasted for a long time, and both sides suffered heavy casualties on each other.
Char walked in front of an iron gate that was fused with high temperatures, and looked at the fifteen-ton heavy metal iron door in front of him, which was blown away by a huge explosion in one go. The gate, which was supposed to be used to protect the "box", was blown away by the force of the explosion and slammed down on the thirteen-meter pipe entrance, where was the center of the battle, where more than half of the federal soldiers and Bist's private forces were.
Obviously, neither of the two parties that were caught in the melee at that time expected this to happen suddenly. By the time they noticed the crisis, the iron gate had smashed right above the pipes and penetrated them. The pipe could not withstand such heavy pressure, and with a sound like glass shattering, it collapsed in an instant, burying all the humans inside.
Click.
"This is it."
At this time, the battle situation outside is no longer optimistic, or it has fallen into a state of dire straits. But Char didn't seem to be in a hurry, and stood calmly at the feet of an MS and looked up.
Although the surrounding fire has become bigger and bigger, there is a great drive to engulf the entire satellite. However, within three meters of Char, the flames would be pushed away by an invisible force. Char just glared at the sea of fire around him, and said in an arrogant tone with a cold face: "Do you want to be devoured?" As soon as the words fell, a pitch-black flame suddenly appeared around Char's body, oppressive, terrifying, and even ordinary flames without life and consciousness did not dare to approach, and dispersed in all directions as if surrendering.
With a cold snort, Char withdrew Amaterasu.
And this scene was unfortunate by the man who survived accidentally, the head of the Bister consortium - Cadias. Bister witnessed firsthand the power of Charan's non-humans. Although it was a fortuitous adventure, the scene in front of him was still a great surprise to Cadias. For the first time in a century in the universe, humans are able to manipulate fire. No, as much as he was surprised, Cadias felt that it was not surprising that the man was able to do this.
At this time, Char also noticed the presence of Cadias. Quietly staying in the sea of fire, the silent pure white holy beast seemed to be waiting to wake up its master, and stayed quietly on the starting apron. As a "chest" and a "key", the white unicorn has its own unique mission, and the person who holds this mission should have been a teenager named Banaji.
Although it was said that Char had hit by mistake, Char had no intention of backing down. As soon as you step on the floor, your entire body floats until you reach the cockpit door of the Unicorn Gundam. He and Cadias were outside, the other in the cockpit, and they both looked at each other calmly, neither confronting each other nor immediately drawing their swords. No, or rather, it doesn't make sense to an old man who is about to die.
Cadias clutched the gunshot wound in his abdomen, his otherwise calm face was covered with beads of sweat, and his piercing eyes did not fade but became brighter before he died. This is probably the so-called awareness of death, even if you know that you will die, you have to complete your own tasks, and beyond the will of the gears of fate that belongs to the operation of destiny in addition to righteousness and benevolence.
However, in Char's eyes, Cadias was just being stubborn. "Your internal organs have been shot through that, and your liver has been pierced through three holes, and it is impossible to survive. Char said. He saw Cadias's visibly wry smile, and the somewhat arrogant face of the past now showed a hint of loneliness. Looking at the eyes that gradually became soft and reminiscing, I think I should miss a loved one.
“…… Any last words? Char was silent for a moment and then said. He is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and he is willing to do whatever he can for the other party if he has any last wishes. This compassion seems to have dissipated the previous unhappiness between the two.
"You're here to save her...... Hasn't your mood changed? ”
“…… Well, sort of. Char thought about it and replied. "After all, I have worked hard to save her several times anyway, and I will be very unwilling if I leave her alone so simply." ”
"Hmph, I see. Because I tried to save it several times, I can't leave it alone. Cadias laughed as if he had discovered something interesting. He said as he covered his wound with one hand. "It's like having a pet, and you can't abandon it because you've been raising it for a long time. However, a man of unknown power named Char. Do you really know who the other person is? ”
It was a look of confirmation again, and Char's pupils shrank slightly, as if she felt something change.
"What 'she' is carrying is very heavy...... Since you have decided to help her, it means that you also have to share this burden, do you think it is good? ”
Char felt that the strength of the arm holding Cadias holding the wound had become heavier, this was not an illusion, and after a moment's pause, Char asked reflexively: "...... For example? ”
"The Principality of Zeon - Revival!" The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a smiling face appeared in front of Char. Not a bitter smile or a mockery, but a satisfied smile mixed with helplessness and a little sadness.
"That girl has more power than you think. But then again, your name is similar to that red comet's name. Whether it's your personality or the style of speaking, if it weren't for your more radical looks and way of doing things, I would almost think Char. It is possible that Aznab is really not dead. However, he is still dead after all, and it is he who is dead that is the basis for the true coming of peace. It's just that...... Unexpectedly, after a short period of peace lasted for 3 years, everything will be over, the war will start again, and mankind will have to fall into endless civil strife. ”
"If this war and civil strife are to be prevented, "her" power is necessary. But now "she" is not enough to take on such a heavy responsibility. War will break out before she grows up, but as long as the "chest" is handed over to her and the forces loyal to her, peace will surely come sooner or later. In a tone that he didn't even dare to confirm, Cadias said.
“…… Kadias, you won't be wanting ......"
"No, with my body, I can't afford to hand over this 'key' to that adult anymore. Therefore, it can only be entrusted to the only hope in front of it. That's you. ”
Without saying anything, Cadias grabbed Char's arm with all his last strength, and then pulled him into the driver's cabin.
"You take this thing away."
Cadias puts the picture controller back in place and arranges for Char to hold the left and right joysticks with both hands. He then manipulated the touch buttons of the graphics controller and pressed his hand on the graphics screen.
