Chapter 152: The Transport Ship on the Edge of the Battlefield
Chapter 152
The sky, which was filled with fire and energy, occasionally fell sparkling steel wreckage. Whether it is the sea or the land, it leaves a huge problem that is difficult for the environmental protection aunt to deal with.
On the southern shore of the Straits of Malacca, off the coast of the Indian Ocean, an old, rusty transport ship is departing from here, and anyone with a little discerning will think that it is just an ordinary fishing boat. Combined with the current war situation, it is not difficult to judge that this ship carried local residents who went to sea to escape the war.
The fighting had spread here, so the makeshift refugee transport could only move slowly along the brink of the battle. The speed was as slow as a snail, but even at such an anxious speed, the captain of the transport ship who organized the escape did not dare to start the large turbine to accelerate. I'm afraid that I will be seen by the United Earth Army who have killed the red eye, those guys, whether you are soldiers or not, as long as you are not your own people, you will attack!
Driven by the small fan blade engine, the transport ship slowly sailed towards the vast sea, and the ripples wafting in the stern reflected the crimson sky, as beautiful as blood.
The battle lasted a whole day, and the sparks flying from the explosion of the airframe were more like New Year's fireworks, finally lighting up the bleak sky. The people huddled on the boat trembled, and if it wasn't a matter of life but a movie, it would have been a rare and magnificent feast.
Hiska was still in the corner reading a book with a cold and arrogant face, while Kim was in the cockpit discussing the next step with the captain and other prestigious people here.
I didn't expect Kim to be quite famous in the local area, it's really an incredible thing.
Hiska is not at all interested in where to go next, because of the presence of the male nanny Kim, he will take care of everything. And the self who has lost his strength and become an ordinary person can only go with the flow under the instinct of survival.
"Hiska, our next step is to go to the Zaft military base in the Indian Ocean, my former teacher has recently been transferred to serve there, we can stay there for the time being!"
Kim's passionate words were exchanged for a merciless look from Hiska and a faint voice: "Oh! ”
Jin expressed helplessness, sighed silently in his heart, and then said almost to himself as usual: "My teacher's name is Jace, he used to teach me for a few years at the Superior Military Academy in Brando, and now he has the rank of general, and he was a very powerful battlefield commander when he was young......"
Hiska is not a good person to talk to, but he is a very good person to talk to, he will obediently listen to you say everything you want to say, and if you ask him how he feels after speaking, the first thing he will say is "What does this have to do with Uncle Ben?" Then he put forward one or two opinions sharply and continued to pretend to be cold. Kim used to Google and Google called this personality ...... Tsundere ......
――
The sky gradually darkened, and the bloody sky gradually faded, but the battle between the Zaft army and the earth was still in full swing, and some differences from the daytime were that around dusk, the Zaft army, without backup, was gradually defeated by the endless attacks of the Earth army.
Therefore, although the boat has been traveling for most of the day, it still has not run out of the brink of war, and can only move forward cautiously like a fallen leaf, quietly in the gap between two incomparable existences, to prevent itself from being overturned on the sea.
The falling wreckage of the body brought up layers of undulating ripples as it fell into the sea, which made the transport ship tremble and be more careful.
――
"Shiskar-chan!"
Hearing Kim's call, Hiska turned her head impatiently and looked inquiringly at the male nanny who had been taking care of her.
"You know what? Tomorrow is your 13th birthday! ”
"Huh?!" Hiska was stunned. Seriously, he didn't know when his birthday was, in his previous life, from the day he was born, he was labeled as an experimental animal, how could a party who didn't even know who his parents were know his birthday, and it should be said that a party who didn't even bother to explore his own life history would look for his birthday. For the party who has witnessed the real hell, there is no real point in looking for the meaningless things other than to feel very stupid.
Therefore, this time Jin suddenly mentioned his birthday, no, it was her birthday, which made Fang Tong slightly stunned.
In the dark, Kim didn't see Hiska's stunned expression, and thought that she was still the same as before, waiting for her to continue talking with a cold and arrogant face.
"It's a shame that you don't have a birthday cake, but the birthday gift is ready for you!" As he spoke, Jin proudly hooked the corners of his mouth, a special ghost smile appeared on his face, and said, "Looking forward to tomorrow!" Good night, Hiska! ......At that moment, Hiska suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
Gold...... What exactly did he prepare for his birthday?
――
In the dark night sky, an orange lightning bolt flew into the sky again with a new power. After fighting all day long, even if the spare thruster is damaged, it still has endless vitality, and it looks even faster when equipped with infrared night vision devices at night!
"Major Mikoto Misaka, Major Mikoto Mikoto!"
The communicator, which had been silent, suddenly heard an urgent call, and Mai Trin was a little confused, but still turned on the communication as soon as possible.
"This is Mikoto Misaka, please tell me something."
The small screen to the right of the fighter's operation table lit up, and Avril's cold, iron-blooded face appeared on the screen, with a little praise and solemnity.
"Major Mikoto Misaka, it's me!"
Mikoto Misaka was slightly surprised when she heard Avril's voice, but she didn't expect that it was Avril who personally summoned her, "Teacher, what's the matter?" ”
"Call me Sergeant Avril!" Avril stroked her forehead with a headache, this soldier is good at everything, but once he is familiar with it, he is not big or small.
"Yes, Avril Lavigne, what's the matter?"
"......" Avril felt that she would not discuss the issue of titles with this hateful fellow for the time being, and said solemnly: "Major Misaka, on the left edge of the combat sea area, there is a transport ship suspected to be carrying a high-ranking officer of Zaft, heading for the waters of the Indian Ocean!" ”
"Transports? What if it's a civilian? They ......"
"No!" Avril interrupted Misaka's speculation and made her own conclusion: "That transport ship has been on the verge of battle since the beginning of the battle, and it stands to reason that if it were a civilian, it would have accelerated its escape!" And the transport ship has been hovering around the edge for a day. ”
"Okay, I got it!" Mai Trito nodded, that's true, the average refugee boat escapes the battlefield as fast as possible! The transport ship was indeed abnormal. After thinking about it, he asked, "Captured or sunk?" ”
Hearing Mikoto Misaka's words, Avril asked with some amusement, "Do you have time to capture a boatload of people?" ”
“…… Okay, I see! (To be continued.) )
