Part 2: A Helpless Journey, Chapter 30: The Enemy Army's Singer

C.E.712/3

After several days of sailing, the Archangel finally made its way through the dangerous gravel terrain to the site of the former Junius 7 moon that day, and we had some food and water on the way, but because the meteorite fragments and space junk here were so much of a way, it took more than a dozen hours to collect enough supplies to last two days. Realizing the inefficiency of this method, Marius and the others immediately decided to gather enough supplies to make it to Junius 7 and set out as soon as possible.

Since the conversation a few days ago, my relationship with the members of the Archangel has been very awkward, except for Kira, who seem to be separated from almost everyone, and I haven't even met with Malu and the others.

Early this morning, Kira drove the STRIKE to protect Sey and Dole and the others to the wreckage for supplies, and I stood alone in front of the porthole, looking at the dead airspace with nostalgia, and trying to recall in my mind the former glory and beauty of Junius 7. Five years is enough time for me to understand every minute part of this artificial satellite. For example, the devastated building was the largest hospital for Junius 7 at the time, the earth-covered spaceport where we landed when we first came here, and the dead snake wrapped around a mass of metal was the main pipe in the internal route of Junius 7...... The unrecognizable objects gradually reverted to their original appearance in my recollection, and there were many references to their former usefulness or significance.

Suddenly there was a message on the radio about the return of the supply pod, and I immediately ran to the warehouse to see what Kira was doing. As soon as he entered the warehouse, he saw Kira with her head bowed and being reprimanded by Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu.

"How many times have I said that we're in the middle of a battle right now, and you're always picking up some mess."

"Hey, what's going on? What is that menopausal woman angry about? I touched Dole's shoulder and whispered.

Dole smiled bitterly: "It's not Kira yet, he picked up a rescue pod and came back while on patrol." And it seems to be something from the Zaft army, and Second Lieutenant Baki Lulu is very dissatisfied. After speaking, he pouted to the side.

I LOOKED IN THE DIRECTION HE WAS POINTING, AND A LIGHT GREEN, ALMOST TRIANGULAR SURVIVAL POD WAS PLACED IN FRONT OF THE STRIKE.

"How is that possible? Why is this kind of rescue pod here? My head was confused when I saw the pod, and I spoke incoherently.

"What, what's wrong with this survival pod?" Malu, who had just arrived, heard my words and asked curiously.

"This is a rescue pod for the upper floors of the PLANT." I said incredulously: "This pod is designed for one person, has a lot of space inside, and can store enough supplies and oxygen to sustain the victim's life for seven days." State-of-the-art, it can also use the data stored by the computer to find passing ships in the airspace within 50 distances and send distress signals to them, and only those above the rank of captain are eligible to fly such a rescue pod in PLANT. ”

Dalida Cao patted his chest with palpitations and said, "No wonder we met Zaft's scout MS just now, they should be looking for this thing." ”

"If you look at it this way, it should be an important person in the adjuster." Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu gave the order with a serious expression: "So the personnel are on alert, and if there is any change in the people inside, they will shoot immediately." Several soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed at the exit of the rescue pod and waited nervously.

At this time, my mind is also full of questions, why the rescue pod of the PLANT high-level appeared here, you must know that this place has become a buffer zone between the United Earth Army and Zaft after the Battle of Junius 7 last year, although neither side has officially sent troops to station, but the patrols on both sides regard this as their own sphere of influence, so small-scale conflicts occur from time to time, and generally speaking, it already belongs to the front line. Moreover, this kind of rescue cabin is generally used by the personnel of government departments, and everyone in the army is accustomed to using lifeboats with very low comfort and supply carrying, but with the ability to escape independently, after all, it is impossible to sit on the battlefield and float around in the rescue cabin, which is clearly the target of death.

Uncle Cojero was busy for a while and unlocked the code to open the rescue pod, and the hatch slowly opened. Everyone in the warehouse fell silent, except for the hum of the machines running.

The hatch opened, and with the sound of snapping, a small pink spherical robot flapped and flew out of the shape of something like wings or ears, and this unique little thing instantly evoked that deep memory in my heart. Looking up, the beautiful girl with pink hair floated into everyone's sight gracefully and slowly like an angel descending to the mortal world. Her pure and sweet smile still attracted the attention of the people around her, and her crystal clear temperament like spring water unconsciously infected everyone who approached her, and several soldiers who were originally extremely nervous had already inadvertently lowered the muzzle of the gun in their hands. Dole beside me had opened his mouth to the limit, and I doubted that I could easily put down a fist, and if Mirri saw it, I don't know what punishment would await him. But his luck is obviously good, at this time Mirri is also dumbfounded, there is no time to pay attention to him, Lux's lethality is not divided between men and women, everyone who sees her for the first time will feel like this.

The pink robot "Hello" and "Hello" screamed, flew around the crowd and returned to the girl's side. At this time, a panicked look suddenly appeared on Lux's face, I knew that a young lady like her had never experienced a spacewalk in a weightless state, so I quickly pulled her lightly, smiled and said, "It's been a long time." Miss Lux. ”

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

At the same time, in the official residence of the Speaker of PLANT, the current President of the Supreme Council of PLANT, Shjer Klein, looks at the depths of the universe through a huge screen with a melancholy face.

A crisp bell rang.

Speaker Shigar said lightly: "Come in." ”

A middle-aged man who looked a little flustered walked in softly, and he didn't even dare to gasp in the face of the supreme authority of PLANT.

"How? Haven't found Lux yet? ”

"I'm sorry, Speaker, we've tried our best to find it, but ......"

The Speaker waved his hand a little tiredly: "I know you have done your best, but please keep looking, although Lux is my daughter, she is important to the whole PLANT, no matter what, you must find her." ”

"Yes, yes, I see." The middle-aged man bowed and stepped out.

Speaker Shgar walked around his office twice in frustration before making a phone call.

"Vera, how did I want you to do that?"

A powerful voice came from the phone: "Don't worry, my lord. We've completely cracked the data on the new United Earth Forces' new MS, and we're ready to use them to develop a PLANT-owned mech. ”

"Will the mech I asked you build be completed on time?"

"No problem, it will definitely be completed on time, but ......," Vera said hesitantly, "My lord." Although we were able to complete the mech, there was a big problem with the pilot. AT THE SAME TIME, FREEDOM AND JUSTICE HAD VERY HIGH REQUIREMENTS FOR DRIVERS, AND ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF DRIVERS IN THE ENTIRE PLANT COULD FULLY EXERT THEIR PERFORMANCE, BUT KNIGHTS (KNIGHTS) DEMANDED MORE FROM DRIVERS. Now that the best drivers in the entire PLANT are concentrated in Zaft's hands, it is difficult for our faction to find a suitable candidate. ”

"Don't worry, when the machine is finished, I'll bring you the best driver in the whole PLANT."

Turning off the communication, the Speaker leaned his eyes back in his chair and muttered in an inaudible voice, "Leonard von Findrad, it's time for you to come back." Lux, I've prepared your knight for you, and you can take him to fulfill your dreams. ”
