Chapter 41: Escape

Chapter 41 of the second helpless journey

With a soft "snort", the door of the cabin quickly slid to the side, and two armed soldiers stood solemnly at the door. In the middle is the cold ice cube face of Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu.

"Raysor Rogge, it's time, we're here to take you back."

I looked at the upright javelin-like woman in front of me, and said coldly, "From today on, I will stay by Miss's side and will not go anywhere." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu suddenly blushed when he heard my words: "Is this a suspicion of our Earth United Army?" ”

"What does it mean, you know it in your own hearts, what happened today is obvious, and I doubt that you will use the same means next time the Zaft army catches up again, so I will take care of the security of Miss in the future." I glared at her without flinching.

"You. Hmph, whatever you want. Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu slammed the door shut and rushed out.

Looking back at Lux's inquiring eyes, I explained to her, "I'm sorry, Lux, I made such a decision without your consent, it's too dangerous today, and I'm worried that it will happen again, so please bear with me if it's rude?" ”

Lux shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't care about this, it's just that you don't need to make such a big fuss, I believe that what Second Lieutenant Natal did today was also out of helplessness." With her character, she should have regretted doing such a thing once, and she will never use me to threaten Zaft again next time she dies in battle.

Leonard, who is also a soldier, should be able to see what kind of person she is. ”

Thinking of what Lieutenant Bucky Lulu has done since I entered the Archangel, I also have great admiration for this conscientious soldier in my heart, but maybe my temperament is very similar to her, we who belong to two different camps seem to be out of place from the beginning, basically in a state of a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days. But if I had switched sides, I would probably have been glad to have such a comrade-in-arms. As an excellent soldier, it is the most reassuring thing to hand over your back to an equally good soldier.

As my thoughts drifted farther and farther away, I smiled a little dazedly, "Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu is a person who looks a lot like me before." ”

"Were you before?" Lux tilted her head a little curiously: "Speaking of which, I only knew you half a year ago, but you and Ensign Natal didn't have much in common at that time, if you had her calmness, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been expelled to Orb." "At the end of the day, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, which made me very embarrassed, and now I can imagine how much effort Lux and the Speaker father and daughter have done for my affairs, and the inside story at that time will definitely not be so simple, judging from the fact that the elder Brownsis left the Supreme Council three months after I left, the scale and bloodshed of the political struggle involved is probably beyond my imagination.

I couldn't help but divert the subject: "That was a long time ago, and you weren't sensible at that time." ”

Hearing my vague answer, Lux snorted twice in dissatisfaction, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, I'm not sensible?" I'm a month older than you. ”

I looked at Lux with some amusement, and only then could I get a glimpse of her sixteen-year-old girlhood. But there are some things that she won't believe even if I tell her, in my previous life, I was a ruthless soldier like Second Lieutenant Bakki Lulu who took serving his country as his primary goal, and the meaning of the army and the country at that time was more important in my mind than that of Lieutenant Bucky Lulu today, but when I woke up, I found that everything that was once familiar had become a thing, my former friends had long since turned to dust, and the country that I had sworn allegiance to for the rest of my life was no longer the same as it used to be. There is now a strange country called the Republic of East Asia in that familiar land, not the one in which I was born, raised, and fought.

"It doesn't matter to you, Leonard." When I came back to my senses, there was a concerned look in Lux's eyes, and that was what I was trying to protect now.

"It's fine, it's just something that comes to mind." I shook my head vigorously to wake myself up, "Go to sleep, or your skin will get worse." With a small joke, I leaned sideways on the wide couch by the wall and closed my eyes.

**********************************************************************

C.E.712/7 nights

In the dark cabin, although I was lying on the couch, I was still vigilantly watching the movement outside the door. The environment without light is like a no-finger sight for the average person, but it is as clear as day in front of my strange vision.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and the faint light immediately colored the otherwise dark cabin with a soft halo, and I immediately hid silently in the shadow by the door, trying to see what this uninvited guest was trying to do. A small, slender figure crept up to Lux's bed, and although he was careful, I could easily tell that he was a complete layman in this matter, and even if the Earth Union wanted to disadvantage Miss Lux, it would be impossible to send such an inexperienced fellow.

The shadow walked to a short distance from Lux's bed and listened, standing on the bottom line of my attack, and as soon as he took one more step, I would immediately pounce on him and knock him to the ground.

"Miss, Miss Lux, please wake up." As soon as the shadow spoke, the voice was Kira. I looked closely, and it turned out that Kira was wearing a dark dress that she had never worn before, and it didn't fit well, and it looked like it was borrowed, so I didn't recognize him for a while.

Lux, who hadn't fully fallen asleep, was awakened by the sudden sound and rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"Are you...... Mr. Kira. Is there anything wrong with this late hour? "I focused on Kira the last time I introduced them, and Lux remembered that he was a good friend of Aslan, so it was quick to remember.

"Please hurry, there's no time." Kira said anxiously, "Hurry up and clean up, I'll go and call Rayser up." ”

"No need, I'm right here." Kira heard the sound that was close at hand, and immediately turned around in a hurry.

"Oh my God. Rayser, you almost scared me to death. Kira patted her chest with palpitations, "Why are you here...... Forget it, now is not the time to ask this, you guys quickly clean up, I'll let you go now. ”

"Is it okay? Lack of security? I quickly asked the most important question.

"Don't worry. Everyone was in a bad mood today because of the incident in the afternoon, and everyone went to sleep except for a limited number of people on the night shift. Kira said with a hint of shame on her face, and it seemed that he also had a lot of criticism of Lieutenant Bucky Lulu's approach.

I figured out that if Kira did what she said, then today was the best time to escape, and there was a reason to fight anyway. As soon as I made my decision, I pulled Kira out the door and told Lux to change into a light outfit. After five minutes, Kira and I, as well as Lux in a United Earth uniform, began to sneak in the direction of the MS warehouse. There weren't many police posts along the way, as Kira had said, and we made our way to the outskirts of the warehouse. At this point, following Kira's suggestion, we walked on a passage that was said to be a dead end. After all, the warehouse is one of the most important areas on the Archangel, and the gate must be guarded by guards, although there are only two guards, but we can't afford the consequences of startling the snake, and this passage full of all kinds of waste actually has an unknown secret exit to the warehouse, which Kira accidentally discovered a few days ago.

According to Kira's advice, once you enter this passage, you can swagger and stride straight forward, but after walking less than a hundred meters inward, we reversed his words, and when I reached the first corner, a short body turned out from behind at the same time, and hit me in the chest, and I stood firmly with great strength, but the other party fell directly on his back.

"How is that possible? There's probably no one here. Kira said in surprise.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, let me get rid of this guy first." I slowly pressed against the thin figure. Only then did the thin figure look down on me, his expression was extremely surprised, and then he stammered, "Ray, Brother Leonard, are you trying to escape?" ”

"Nonsense, otherwise what would we be doing when we came out so late?" I said angrily: "Hurry up and cooperate with me to knock you unconscious, and there will be nothing tomorrow."

Originally, I thought that according to the character of the person opposite, he would hesitate before coming, but he did not retreat and pounced on me and hugged me and cried: "Please, take me with you, if I return to the Earth Union like this, I will definitely be assassinated by their secret security services." ”

"Damn, Joseph, you bastard hurry up and let go of me, you know that we are running for our lives, how can we take your oil bottle, and if you don't let go, you're welcome." I kicked the director of the death-scared ghost who was holding my thigh.

"No, I absolutely don't. When they get back, they will find out that I have had a lot of contact with you after a little investigation, and then they will definitely torture me to ask if I have leaked their military secrets to you, and I will definitely not be able to stand it then. Uncle Leonard, you can take me away, I am familiar with all the secrets of the new MS of the United Earth Forces, as long as you Zaft have me, you Zaft can find out all the information of the new MS in a very short time, which saves a lot of time compared to your own research and development. The ghost who was afraid of death hugged my thighs tightly and didn't dare to let go, an old face smiled like an old bustard picking up customers, and Lux said a little unbearably: "Leonard, just take him, we Zaft also need a talent like Director Joseph." ”

I nodded nondeniably, anyway, taking this guy with me was just a little cumbersome when it came to escaping, and I would soon be able to return to the battleship pursued by the Zaft army.

In this way, a timid scientist was pulled onto the escaped thief ship, and with Kira's help, we stole the ATTACK parked next to the STRIKE without much effort, and then left the Archangel without much effort.

Looking at the long-legged battleships farther and farther away, I imagined what it would be like to wake up early tomorrow morning to find that we were gone. Anyway, Kira, Archangels, let's see you again.
