Tight gasps,

Panicked footsteps,

panicked crowds,

Crying child,

Panicked parents,

Eyes in horror as he looked at the sea of fire that was getting closer and closer in the distance

All this, everything is a sign to the people who live in this coastal city......

War is coming!

"Mom's ......"

The little boy, who was being pulled by his panicked mother, suddenly fell to his feet and fell heavily to the ground.

The mother screamed, quickly turned around and knelt down, picked up the little boy, looked at it hurriedly, and comforted the little boy softly.

The sensible little boy endured the pain, and just wanted to show a smile to reassure his mother, when suddenly his throat was sweet......

"Poof!"

Huge streams of blood gushed out of the little boy's throat without warning, and instantly stained his mother's white robe.

"Forrest Gump! Forrest gump! ”

Looking at her son's mouth that kept gushing blood, and the body that suddenly convulsed, the mother suddenly panicked.

however

The mother, who was stunned by her son's sudden change, did not know that in a nearby corner, several pairs of eyes were flashing at them.

"Subject behaves unusually. Execute Plan Z now. When you're done, evacuate immediately. ZAFT's monsters are coming! ”

As Sen Leng's voice sounded, a cross cursor also fell from the void on the mother who was trying to wake up her son.

"Target locked. Please instruct. ”

Holding the sniper rifle steadily, the sniper lurking in the shadows asked coldly.

"Attack ...... allowed"

However, at the moment when the order was given, a puff of smoke and a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the concrete wall where the sniper was hidden.

"02, answer quickly! 02！ The eyes hidden in the darkness stared at the floor where the sniper was, until a huge steel figure appeared from the billowing smoke, then turned around and said hatefully, "We'll see! Ominous funnels, and monsters! ”

Shin-Asuka examines the floor that had been destroyed by the Pulse Gundam's Vulcan cannon through the sensor, and is secretly relieved to confirm that the sniper is dead.

"This is the real Asuka. A patient with an unknown illness was found, identified as a young boy aged 6-8 years. He is currently accompanied by a woman who is suspected of being a mother. ”

Minerva received. A medical team will arrive later. Please confirm and protect the object for the time being. ”

"Understood."

Ma-Asuka nodded, indicating that he had received a new order.

This is the fifth case of an unknown disease discovered and handled by Asuka Shin himself since the beginning of the war.

At first, all of the Minerva pilots, including the three Aslan FAITH, thought it was just an extreme reaction of over-frightenedness.

In previous battles, there have indeed been similar cases. Despite these cases, all of them were convulsions all over the body and blood spitting from the mouth.

However, Aslan, Asuka and others, who were focused on fighting the defenders, did not put too much focus on these people who fled from military facilities and fled towards the evacuation point.

In this situation, it was not until the emergency contact of the intelligence officers arranged by ZAFT in the city was connected that the Minerva, Captain Taria, realized that the city was now enveloped by a terrible plague.

The plague occurred just a few days before the Minerva attacked, and the main body of the plague was children under the age of 10. Other than that, no one was infected.

It is as if this unidentified plague has a high degree of self-selectivity, specifically selecting children under the age of 10 to infect them.

"Biological, bioweapon?" Arthur stood in place with cold hands and feet, screaming.

"Calm down! Arthur. We don't know the situation yet. After scolding Arthur, Talia looked at the intelligence officer's avatar on the main screen and said, "I'm very sorry! The ship is now in combat condition and cannot be distracted from other things for the time being. ”

The intelligence officer was not discouraged by Captain Talia's statement, but gave a new piece of information.

"What? In addition to the forces that are still lingering in the third line of defense, the enemy has reduced all his forces and is ready to defend the fortress dozens of kilometers away from the city? ”

Faced with the new information provided by the intelligence officers, Captain Talia suddenly felt a headache.

The unknown plague, the enemy's shrinking forces, the relationship between the two is to look at it no matter how you look at it, it should be digging a pit for ZAFT, or even PLANT.

Otherwise, why did the plague quietly break out a few days before the Minerva's attack, and it didn't break out until after the Minerva launched the attack?

"Why should I trust you? Although I am now FAIHT, there are three other FAITH presences on the Minerva. My opinion does not speak for everyone. ”

Despite the glimmer of trust in his heart, Captain Talia made a conservative decision.

ZAFT and PLANT carry too much notoriety. Even if this unknown plague was planted on the head of ZAFT and PLANT, Talia didn't want to, and didn't dare to gamble with the lives of the entire ship.

However, the next moment, a person appeared on the screen that Captain Talia did not expect.

"Captain. The words of this compatriot can be believed. Just now, when I was flying the Savior Gundam for high-altitude reconnaissance, I realized that the enemy was indeed shrinking its forces. It seems that he wants to stay in the military fortress that has just been built. ”

Appearing on the screen is Aslan.

I saw that he didn't even wear a helmet, so he was directly exposed to the environment with a high risk of infection.

If the plague does exist, Aslan is at risk of being infected. Even this unknown plague will only select children under the age of 10 for the time being.

Captain Talia glanced sideways at Arthur, and the meaning was self-evident.

Arthur hurriedly stirred up, and quickly confirmed the information sent back by Aslan before.

"Captain, it's true."

Arthur's words made Captain Talia feel even heavier.

no doubt

This has come to this,

The events that took place in the city were indeed directed at the Minerva.

"Arthur. Send out an emergency medical team. Set up epidemic prevention points as quickly as possible! In addition, I would like to report the situation here to the Supreme Council and also to our new friends. ”

Captain Talia clenched his fists and said fiercely, "This situation is no longer something that can be solved by the Minerva alone. ”

After seeing Captain Taria's quick reaction, Aslan also nodded and said, "I will arrange for them to search for patients in the city, and at the same time, I, together with the other two FAITH, will drive all enemy MS from the city." ”

"Hmm. Please! Aslan. "That's the best way to do it right now. Captain Talia thought silently.

－－－－

I can't bear it! Let's send 2000 words first! I'll make it up tomorrow. I've been working overtime so much lately! Let's go to bed first!

Oh! That's right! There will be an outbreak of this problem! Finish the work in hand the day after tomorrow, and then get out! When the time comes, it's time to explode!

Now, the wheels are really photosynthesizing (╥_╥)
