Chapter XXVII
(Today, the baby was scratched by the dog's teeth, although there was no bleeding, but he was quickly brought to the injection and was scared to death.) In other words, the tickets for these two days are not very powerful! Ask for tickets, ask for tickets! οΌ
"It's just that I really didn't expect that the Strike Gundam was just a C-class body, so what would it be like to be an A-class and S-class body." Xiao Ran sighed slightly in his heart, and glanced at the extra 1500 reward points because of the completion of the task, and smiled helplessly: "Only 500 reward points were given for completing the task, if it wasn't for breaking the two Jeans and rewarding 1000 points, this mission can be said to be really not profitable, forget it, as long as you don't lose and can pick up so much in vain, you should be content." β
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran began to close his eyes and pretend to sleep to replenish the consumption and fatigue of the battle, and did not wake up until more than two hours later, took a shower and went to the bridge, and picked up some water bottles in the canteen on the way.
In the bridge, Xiao Ran looked at the tired people, said hello, distributed the water in his hand to everyone, and then stood beside Maliu, and asked, "How is the situation?" β
"Not so good." Maliu shook his head with a heavy face and whispered, "The losses of the advance fleet are too great, and the search and rescue team has found less than ten people so far. β
Xiao Ran scratched his head: "A Drake-class battleship has at least a few dozen people, right?" β
Ma Liu raised his head in amazement, and asked in an incredible tone: "I really don't know that you are so shrewd sometimes, how come you don't know so much about common sense?" β
"Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Ran spread his hands and pouted: "Isn't the current establishment of the Archangel less than 100 people, and those warships are not as big as the Archangel." β
"Now I really believe that you were just an ordinary teacher before." Ma Liu glanced at Xiao Ran speechlessly, and the heaviness in his heart that had been caused by the sacrifice of friendly troops unconsciously dissipated a little, and began to popularize common sense to Xiao Ran: "The basic establishment of a Drake-class is about one hundred and thirty to one hundred and fifty people, and if there is a Ma formation, then this number will have to be doubled." Because the Nelson-class battleship appeared to carry MA, the basic number of personnel is about 500 people, and it is not ruled out that there will be many people. β
Ma Liu looked at Xiao Ran with some surprise, and sighed slightly: "Although the Archangel has broken through the three-hundred-meter Cheng dΓΉ, in fact, the internal space is about the same size as Nelson's except for Gnaku. Because it is a new type of ship, it adopts new technologies and concepts, and the overall control system does not need too many people to start operating, so it can sail normally with less than 100 personnel. But in fact, the standard configuration of the Archangel is more than three hundred, but this is not the limit configuration of the Archangel, and I can't tell you about the specifics. β
Xiao Ran listened to Ma Liu's words, and silently turned his head to look beyond the bridge, where there were scattered debris and fragmented battleships everywhere: "In other words, in such a half-hour battle, more than a thousand people were sacrificed?" β
"Hmm." Malu nodded slightly.
Xiao Ran looked at the endless universe and paused, raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath lightly, turned to Ma Liu, and smiled: "I'd rather drive MS to die outside than stay in the battleship and don't know how to die, this feeling is very bad." β
"Huh." Ma Liu smiled, what Xiao Ran said is also a kind of sadness of fighting in the universe, if there is a problem with the battleship, even if you are given time to run, you don't know where to run, and before you even react, you will follow the battleship and become a piece of garbage in the universe forever.
It didn't take long for the silent Maliu to suddenly raise her head, as if she had suddenly thought of it, and said to Xiao Ran: "By the way, someone from Zaft's side contacted us a little ago, but I temporarily rejected their request for negotiation on the grounds that I wanted to search and rescue people. β
Xiao Ran spread his hands: "It's good that you are the captain of the ship." β
"I'll arrange the time." Marloue looked at the two Drake-class battleships parked on both sides of the Archangel and said: "Let these two battleships leave first, I set the time at 2100, a few hours is enough time for these two battleships to get rid of the enemy, but the contact with Zaft and the delivery of personnel can only be done by you." After all, we are still soldiers, and whether we can do it is one thing, and whether we can do it is another. β
"Like a deal with Zaft." Xiao Ran laughed, did not object to Maliu's arrangement, and said with a smile: "No problem, but Lieutenant Bucky Lulu's side?" β
Ma Liu smiled: "No problem, Mu and I have already convinced her." β
Xiao Ran heard that Bucky Lulu would not be involved, and immediately made a sigh of relief and agreed to Maliu's arrangement.
It didn't take long for Malou to start broadcasting to the whole ship, although at first the civilians did not understand why they were handed over to Zaft, and even sent civilian representatives to understand with Malot, under Maliu's explanation and assurance, most of them also agreed with the Archangel's plan to send them to Zaft, after all, Zaft's ship was much safer than on the Archangel, and it was possible to send a special ship to see them off, not as dangerous as on the Archangel who still had a mission.
Xiao Ran also smiled after seeing that the civilians agreed, although he didn't know if he could get the side quest to rescue these inconsequential people, but being able to avoid their death was also what Xiao Ran was willing to see.
At about 18 o'clock, the two Drake-class battleships docked on both sides of the Archangel ignited and activated their thrusters at the same time, and in a short period of time, they rose to their maximum speed and left this star field. Maliu watched as the two ships farther and farther away from the radar, and finally contacted Zaft and asked them to let the shuttle arrive at the Archangel at 21 o'clock.
Subsequently, Xiao Ran found Kira, and after telling him about the arrangement to return Lux and the green-clothed pilot named Moria, Kira asked Kira to go to Lux with Kira's face full of gratitude, and get along with this last time.
Kira's gratitude is naturally because Xiao Ran proposed to return Lux, in the past few days of getting along, Kira and Luxe can also be said to have become close friends, as for whether Kira's kid has fallen in love with Lux, Xiao Ran doesn't know, but in short, whether it is Lux, or Kira, maybe he has left his own shadow in the other party's heart, and has laid the deepest foundation for the subsequent Freedom Gundam incident.
After more than two hours, the time finally reached the appointed time, and a white shuttle appeared in front of the Archangel, and next to the shuttle, the Aegis Gundam and a Jean followed the shuttle to escort it.
The Strike Gundam piloted by Kira also flew by, stopping directly in front of the Aegis Gundam and blocking the way: "We will send personnel to check the shuttle to make sure that there are no dangerous items on the shuttle." β
After a few seconds, a silence was followed by a voice with suppressed anger: "I agree with you to inspect the shuttle. β
Kira, who was in the cockpit of the Assault Gundam ......, shook her head vigorously with a sad look on her face, and was about to say something, but from behind him, an arm wrapped in a spacesuit stretched out from behind him, and the communication was turned off.
Kira turned her head to see that it was Lux's gentle smiling face, which made him stunned and then lowered his head.
I don't know if I felt the hesitation and sadness in Kira's heart, Lux reached through the chair and gently hugged Kira, let Kira lean on her body, and gently comforted: "The battle is over, you don't want to fight, I also heard the same meaning from Aslan's voice, why are you still sad?" I'm sure you'll get back together one day. β
Kira's face showed a hint of wistfulness, and she murmured, "Thank you." β
The two workboats slowly flew out of the Archangel and stopped after connecting to the small white shuttle, and after half an hour of extremely detailed inspection, the white shuttle also slowly drove into the second Gnaku that had not been activated under the guidance of the Archangel.
After the gnaku hatch closed and re-inflated, Xiao Ran, who had been waiting with him, also gently waved his hand to let the soldier open the isolation door in front of him, and slowly walked over. Behind him, more than a dozen soldiers in Earth Army uniforms were holding weapons and standing guard against the shuttle's hatch.
"Shhh The sound of exhaust gas rang out in the empty second Gnaku, the door of the shuttle slowly opened, and a staircase reached out of the shuttle and touched the floor with a soft sound, like the first-level alarm of the Archangel, which made all the soldiers nervous at once.
"Is that how the Earth Army people treat guests?" The voice came out without seeing it, and the magnetic male voice made the soldiers look at each other, but without receiving the order, they still pointed their weapons at the open hatch of the shuttle.
Xiao Ran laughed after hearing this voice, he could be sure that the person who spoke was Kreuzer Undoubtedly, sure enough, a few seconds later, Kreuzer, dressed in white and wearing a mask, appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes, looking at his plain appearance, it seemed that he didn't care that he had been targeted by more than a dozen weapons that were enough to take his life at this time.
"Lay down your arms." Xiao Ran waved his hand slightly, took a few steps forward with a hint of a smile, and stretched out his right hand towards Kreuzer who had not yet stepped off the shuttle.
Kreuzer's eyes behind the mask glanced at Xiao Ran with interest, and with a slight kick from his feet, he floated out and landed on the ground, holding Xiao Ran's outstretched right hand: "You are the pilot of that Jean?" β
"Yes." Xiao Ran smiled, looking at the man in front of him who was also quite interested in being perverted because of his misery, and after both sides let go of their hands, Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I'm just a civilian, and I'm only fighting to protect my students and other civilians on the ship." And what happened to the director, isn't Captain Kreuzer exactly you? β
"Hehe, then I can only apologize for what happened to you." The corners of Kreuzer's mouth curled, his eyes swept over the many civilians who had been waiting, and he narrowed his eyes slightly after seeing a woman in a green Zaft combat uniform, and then asked, "What about Lux Klein?" β
"By their first name, as far as I know, most people from Zaft or Plant will at least call Miss by honor." Xiao Ran pouted and smiled: "It seems that you don't have much respect for her or her father." β
Xiao Ran's words made Kreuzer turn his head in an instant, and although his eyes were also blocked by the mask, Xiao Ran still felt a feeling as sharp as a sword.
Perhaps sensing that his behavior at this time was a little strange, Kreuzer snorted lightly and said, "Although Lux Klein is the daughter of the Speaker of the Plant, she is still a commoner at all, and although it is important, it is not worthy of my respect. β
"Hehe, I'm sorry." Xiao Ran nodded as if understanding, and said, "Don't worry, you will see her after the civilian is contained." β
Kreuzer raised his hand slightly with a hint of a smile: "Please." β
