"Whew..."

"Boom..."

In the flickering lights, the sound of chains tugging on the ground mixed with footsteps echoed in the dim, narrow aisles.

"Step, step..."

When the hard soles of the leather shoes stopped tapping on the ground, a rusty, bloodstained iron door was rudely opened.

"Squeak~~"

The iron door opened.

I saw that the two tall shadows raised their arms in unison, and with a forceful throw, a limp figure was thrown into the room like garbage.

In the next second, a pale, tired face emerged from the darkness and crouched next to the figure that had been thrown into the room, taking a quick look.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it,

At first glance, it was terrifying.

A few hours ago, although I looked very tired, I still knew that it was my companion who had been taken out, and when I came back, it was...

This picture is not a ghost, but it is not a person.

Scars all over his back, scars all over his face, and a trail of blood silently flowed out of the mouth where most of the teeth had been extracted.

The chilling wound turned out to be formed in the space of hours!!

he

What kind of treatment did you suffer!!

"You, you! What the hell did you do?!!!! ”

The man crouching beside his companion jerked to his feet and yelled at the two burly guards standing in the doorway watching coldly.

The prison guard, who was standing on the left side of the gate, with a falling eye and a horse's face, sneered and said coldly:

"Didn't do anything! It's just a matter of promoting our friendship with the inhabitants of the universe! ”

"Friendship!! What kind of friendship is this! It's nothing more than unilateral abuse..."

"Smack!"

Before the man could finish speaking, a whip swung at him struck him. The force was so fierce that it even knocked some gravel on the ground away, and hit the man's body hard, causing the slightest pain.

"Humph! Don't get too complacent! ”

The man standing next to the horse's face with a scar on the left side of his face let out a loud shout.

"Even if you are a prisoner who has been specifically instructed by your superiors to be treated differently, don't point fingers at our actions!"

With that, the scarred man put away his whip and pointed to the figure that had fallen to the ground, saying, "What's wrong with that?" All the inhabitants of the universe are potential terrorists! In order to protect the earth, to protect our families, we can kill any inhabitant of the universe at the slightest suspicion! So, Amuro Ray, even if you were the hero of the one-year war, and now you are a prisoner, what can you do!! ”

"You!!" The person whose identity was revealed by the prison guard was about to rush forward, but when he was about to theorize, he was caught in his right foot.

Amuro was stunned for a moment, looked down, and found that it was his companion who was enduring the sharp pain caused by the wound, and shook his head slightly at him.

"Humph! Remember! Amuro Ray! Don't get too complacent! Otherwise, it will fall into our hands, and you will have to bear it! ”

After seeing Amuro being held back by the prisoner who had lost half his life, the two prison guards sneered, dropped a warning, and then closed the door and turned to leave.

After a moment of silence, listening carefully to the movement outside, Amuro sighed secretly, turned back and carefully helped his companion who had lost half his life to sit on the bed.

"Thanks, ahem, thanks."

The man was about to speak, but coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.

"Don't talk! Let's take a break! You can't afford to toss any more now. Amuro shook his head and motioned for his companion to stop talking.

The corners of the man's mouth moved, but a look of pain immediately appeared on his face. It seems that according to his current situation, it is a problem to move his mouth.

"Ahem... Ahem, ahem. ”

"I, I'm fine."

The man coughed a few times, relieved himself, and continued, "Your Excellency Amuro, I'm very sorry! I didn't expect there to be a traitor among our Avengers. Poor little Link, and Dani, they didn't expect that their father, and husband, would betray all their comrades and kneel down to the enemy in a pinch. ”

Hearing this, a hint of darkness immediately flashed across Amuro's face. Words like these have been heard many times since he was captured by the Titans and sent here.

Unexpectedly, when everyone was about to board the shuttle to the universe, the Titans rushed in under the leadership of that person, captured everyone including Amuro with lightning speed, and finally fell here.

Amuro looked up at the small window that was high up and brought a glimmer of light into the cell.

Even though he couldn't see out the window, he heard the gust of wind outside the window and felt the room temperature that was starting to drop.

"Heh... Ahem... Hehe! ”

The man's laughter was mixed with coughing, but it couldn't stop his laugh.

"Lord Amuro! Please keep it up! Despite the appearance of traitors between us, rescue soon came! Hold on... Persistence··· Strong..."

Amuro was shocked, and hurriedly leaned forward, grabbed the man's shoulder, shook it, and called out twice quickly and loudly, but received no response.

In the end, Amuro gritted his teeth and handed his slightly trembling fingers under the man's nose, and the next moment, Amuro understood.

"Ahhh Damn it!! ”

Amuro shouted angrily, slamming his fist into the cold wall, the rusty, blood-stained iron door until his hands were bloodied.

One

Again,

One more !!

Since he was brought here, the people he had just met among the Avengers were taken away one by one by the prison guards here under various names, and sometimes even too lazy to even take a verbal name.

Soon after, a corpse was returned!!

"Damn!! Damn it!!! The inhabitants of the universe are also human beings!! Why do you treat your compatriots like this!! You brutes!! ”

Amuro's roar echoed through the aisles over and over again, but there was no response.

After a long time, Amuro's voice was hoarse and tired.

He, turning slowly, looked at his companion who had fallen on the bed, having lost all breath of life, slid limply to the ground, clenched his fists hard, and gritted his teeth and whispered words that even he himself could not hear.

Outside the window, the wind is still blowing.

"Squeak!"

The door opened.

A man in a windcoat walked into a room that had a fireplace lit and seemed very warm.

"Oh! Captain. You're back! How's it going? ”

A blonde man with his hair combed a bit like a big back and a somewhat old face smiled as he raised his cup and smiled at the man who walked into the room.

"Stop calling me Captain. Captain South. ”

The man said as he took off his coat.

"Oh. Then don't call me a captain. After all, both of us old guys are retired. The old blond man, South, turned around, picked up another cup full of hot coffee that had been placed on the table, and handed it over.

"Come on! Warm up with a cup of coffee. The weather is getting really fast. ”

"Oh! Thank you! After all, after several satellite downs before and after the one-year war, the Earth's environment is now barely maintained. The man took the cup, took a sip, felt the warmth from the inside out, and then breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I went out this time, and I confirmed a few things. ”

As soon as he heard this, Souths immediately put down his cup, took out a pen and paper from the cabinet next to him, and showed a look of attentive listening.

"One, recently, an MS team flew in from the Pacific South into Fairbanks. According to visual intelligence, this MS team should have consisted of four mobile Zagu and one new crew of unknown type. According to my analysis, I am afraid that it will have an impact on the next action. ”

After saying that, the man picked up the cup again and took a sip of hot coffee, waiting for South's record to finish.

Before he could swallow his coffee, Souths gave him an inquiring look. In desperation, the man had no choice but to finish the coffee, then put it on the table and continued the work just now.

"Second, from the analysis of the frequency of waste vehicles in recent days, I have come to a conclusion with a confidence rating of 80%. That is, except for Amuro, the rest of the Avengers members who were twisted to Fairbanks are probably all killed. ”

After a pause, the man's eyes flickered a few times, and he said a little unbearably: "Add an additional speculation!" Also, according to my speculation, Amuro Ray may suffer some unequal treatment,"

"This..."

South's pen stopped.

Somewhat confused, he looked up at the man.

"Let's send it all together!" The man nodded.

"Well, then!" After a few strokes of the floor, Sauss wrote it down. "Anything else?"

The man nodded, and continued:

"Three, according to recent weather forecasts, within the next week, there is a possibility that a wave of cold air from the Arctic may occur within 300 kilometers centered on Fairbanks, and at that time, there may be a storm."

"Suggest, if the commander is bold enough, he may be able to rely on this blizzard to launch a surprise attack."

Souths blinked, but still wrote down the man's words one by one, and took one last look at the man, ready to get up and send the information to the rear.

"Wait."

At this time, the man called out to South.

Souths turned and looked at the man, waiting for orders.

"Well, put my name after the suggestion! Thanks to Admiral Rebeer for saving him after the Dilaz Rebellion, it's time to show up! Otherwise, it will not be possible to gain a foothold in front of the members of the XVII Separate Fleet! ”

South's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and saluted:

"Yes! Colonel Epa Schinaps! ”
