In the bizarre and condensed bubble-like space at both ends and entwined with countless twisted rays, a huge fleet was advancing at an unimaginable speed towards a destination in front of it.

"The signal is good and the route is stable. This is the Phoenix MACROSS, the flagship of the Phoenix fleet, all units pay attention, all units pay attention, the current route of this fleet is stable, and the course is not abnormal. The fleet will arrive at its destination in 80 hours, so please get ready! "The routine notification from the flagship was quickly transmitted throughout the fleet.

Due to the shortage of manpower caused by the shimmer of information interference caused by the witch just now, He inexplicably immediately ordered the fleet composed of humans to temporarily retreat to the rear of the blue fleet and maintain a minimum combat capability.

On the bridge of the flagship, He inexplicably lowered his head and pondered, but his thoughts did not last long.

Because, a special communication interrupted He inexplicable thoughts.

"General! Received a psychoanalysis from Miss Vivigne. I've detranslated and visualized it. CIC's voice came.

"Put it on the big screen." He inexplicably tapped the index finger of his right hand on the handle of the chair.

In the next second, the image played on the main screen immediately caused an exclamation on the bridge.

Earth.

A beautiful planet dotted with verdant earth and blue oceans.

Although the Earth in the Macross World has survived the invasion of the Zeniths, after the battlefield that almost wiped out humanity, the Earth of the Macross World is left with barren deserts and heavily radiated oceans.

In the decades after the war, even if the Earth Unification spared no effort to restore the ecology of the earth, the recovery of the ecology could only be maintained in the surrounding areas of the large urban circles, and the deeper barren land could only be left to be gradually dealt with in the future.

Therefore, looking at the beautiful earth on the main screen, the fleet members from the Macross world couldn't help but let out a burst of amazement.

"Ahem. How much time do we have to reach Earth? Looking at the CIC who was looking at the earth with a fascination on his face, He coughed a few times helplessly.

"Ahh The CIC girl exclaimed, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, General! We will reach Earth in 79 hours. ”

"Hmm. Notify in accordance with operational procedures. After inexplicably explaining casually, he got up and left the bridge.

As soon as he stepped out of the bridge, He inexplicably found Lin Mingmei waiting for him in the aisle.

"Akemi, you're here."

"Hmm." Lin Mingmei nodded, naturally stepped forward, grabbed He Mo's arm, smiled and said, "Vivi is tired now." I'm resting under the care of Sister Mei.。 So I still have some time. ”

He nodded inexplicably, and then remembered that Lin Mingmei was now the little guy's vocal teacher. "Oh. Is it? The little one worked hard. By the way, how is she now? This time, our fleet was able to break out of the encirclement thanks to the talent of the little guy. ”

Lin Mingmei blinked, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's not bad." Viviarne is smart. I only taught it once, and she did. If this continues, I'm afraid that my title of Galaxy Singer will be given away. ”

Although the meaning of the words seemed to be very frustrated, He inexplicably looked at Lin Mingmei's smile and was very proud. O contradictory woman!

He nodded inexplicably, and did not dwell on this, he patted Lin Mingmei's little hand and said, "Since the little guy is going to rest, you should also rest as soon as possible!" In 79 hours, we were on Earth. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be a big war. ”

"Hmm."

————————

Early morning.

A cool morning breeze blew into the room, gently raising the curtains that hung on either side of the window.

"Good morning! Miss Alicetina. Under the nurse's smile, the blonde woman sleeping on the bed gradually opened her eyes.

"Click."

In that gradually clear vision, the smiling nurse took two steps back in shock, and then rushed out of the room with a panicked expression.

"Doctor! Doctor! Miss Alice Tina is awake!! Miss Alicetina is awake! ”

The nurse's screams tore through the silence of the morning.

Soon after, a chaotic sound of footsteps and a constant sound of apologies came from far and near.

"Phew!"

At the same time as the door was violently opened, the figure who had rushed into the room recklessly received the unkind gaze of the doctors and nurses gathered around the bedside.

"Ahh Under the watchful eyes of the doctors and nurses, the visitor finally realized his recklessness. I saw him hurriedly exit the room, close the door, knock again, and after getting the doctor's permission, the visitor opened the door again and entered the ward.

"It's rude! How's the situation going? After sincerely apologizing, the visitor stared at the doctor and asked.

The doctor silently glanced at the visitor, then gave way to the side, and the blonde woman sitting on the bed appeared in front of the visitor.

"This..."

The visitor was stunned, a little unconvinced of his eyes, and after quickly wiping his eyes, he called out a little unsurely: "You are Alicetina Bernhard." ”

The sunlight gently dispersed from the open window, as if draped in a veil of light, the blonde woman looked at the appearance of the visitor for a while, and then slowly spoke, her voice a little hoarse. "You, are you Second Lieutenant Theodor Eberbach? Long time no see. You're old! ”

After the person who came was recognized by the blonde woman, her face was full of surprise.

"Captain! Really the captain! You're finally awake! ”

Alicetina nodded, turned her head slowly, looked at the blue sky, and sighed, "Wake up." It may have been a long dream! ”

After the doctor did a medical examination, the space was finally left for the two.

Silence came quietly.

In the entire ward, one person sat on a stool, his head bowed, thinking about something alone. One sits on the bed and looks up at the blue sky outside the window.

For a long time, when the morning breeze blew the curtains again, in the sound of the curtains rolling up, the blonde woman lowered her head and no longer looked at the blue sky outside the window.

She turned her head to look at the silent man sitting on the edge of the bed. The flaming red hair is still there, but the cold face of the past has been much thinner, and even the beard is unkempt.

"Ensign. No, Theodor Eberbach. How long has it been? I felt like the world wasn't the world I was familiar with anymore. Alicetina asked softly.

The silent man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then patted his head and suddenly shouted, "It's all my fault." Captain, you've just woken up, and it's true that you're not familiar with the status quo. ”

Theodore paused, and organized the language.

"Captain, the homeland we are guarding has fallen. With the help of friendly forces, we left the European continent and lived in North Africa for a while, and when we heard the news that it could accommodate some refugees, we came here with us. ”

"Here? Not North Africa? Alicetina asked rhetorically.

"No, this is not North Africa. This is a refugee camp around the Yukon in Alaska. Oh yes. The Yukon Base is a dedicated base provided by the United Nations to countries to develop a new generation of tactical aircraft. And we, the refugees, also rely on this base to get a bite to eat. ”

As Theodor spoke, a strange thing flashed between his eyes.

"Really? Looks like a long time has passed! "Alicetina did not feel sad when she heard the news of the fall of her homeland. On the contrary, I felt a surprisingly light-hearted feeling.

Theodore, who had a faint wrinkle at the corner of his eye, looked up at Alicetina's still young and beautiful face, and sighed, "Yes." It's been 18 years. It's been 18 years since the captain fought Beatrice! ”

"18 years? Is it? Alicetina lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Hmm. 18 years have passed. I'm old. Captain, you are still so young and beautiful. Theodor sighed, raised his hands and patted them.

"That's right. I forgot to tell you the news that you woke up, Captain. Captain, why don't you stop here for today. Please take a good rest. The day after tomorrow, I'll call everyone over and take a look at the captain, how are you? ”

"Everyone? Is anyone else alive in Brigade 666? ”

Alicetina had a wistful look on her face, which made Theodore feel a pang of joy. Unexpectedly, after sleeping for 18 years, the captain could still remember everyone in the 666 Brigade.

"Yes. Everyone is still alive. Katya, Sylvia, Gretel and Volta, everyone is still alive. Theodor counted the names of his former teammates and smiled as he talked about their recent life tracks.

"I didn't expect Katya to survive. This strong little girl is truly admirable. Allistina's mind gradually came up with the little girl she had seen who had defected to East Germany in order to find someone.

"Hmm. Captain. Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll see them. Theodore's smile grew brighter and brighter.

Theodore then spoke with Alicetina for a while before taking his leave.

On the way, the departing Theodore also met Alistina's attending doctor. Theodore, who was in a good mood, even took the doctor by the hand and thanked him repeatedly.

However, Theodore's good mood did not last long.

As he walked out of the hospital, a figure suddenly flashed out of the corner of Theodor's eye.

Theodor remained silent, looked around for a moment, and then followed the figure in the distance.

"Bang!"

Half an hour later, in an unknown corner, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Say! Who let you come here! Theodore's face was enclosed in a black scarf, leaving only a pair of piercing eyes.

Under his hands, a man who had been beaten to a pig's head was struggling.

Theodor frowned.

"Huh. I didn't expect it to be a hard bone. Very good! ”

"Hmm! Not! ”

The muffled sound of screams being covered constantly echoed in this corner.

"I ...... I say! Spare your life! ”

Under Theodor's torment, the man has become a man who has more breath and less breath. Maybe in the next second, this man's soul will return to the western sky.

"Yes...... Be...... Bishop, it was the bishop who commanded me...... Sneak into...... Sneak into...... That ...... That hospital...... Seed...... To give...... Security System ...... Planted...... Virus. ”

Despite the intermittent words, the contents of this suddenly made Theodor excited.

"Why? Which hospital is not included in our plan? Say! Whose idea the hell was it! ”

Theodore jerked at the man's collar and roared.

However, by this time, the man had lost all signs of life due to Theodor's previous torture.

Theodor looked at the corpse under his hand expressionlessly, and was silent for a while, then wiped his left hand from his waist, and a cold light appeared.

"Poof!"

The man's heart was pierced in half.

After drawing the knife, spatula, putting away the knife, and throwing the body in the shadow in the corner, Theodor walked away from the place after doing all this very naturally.

"Our purpose is not to target civilians. Our enemies are the United States and the United States! What do you want to do? ”
