"Yo, boys, you're here. www.biquge.info"Everyone turned their heads to look, and it turned out to be Smadek looking for them at the door.

"Captain, they told you to come over." They were called to the bridge to give an account of the supply. Hearing the supplies, the teenagers all cried out.

"Can you accept supplies? Where is it? Mu's answer seemed a little unspeakable, "If you want to say that you accept it, hey, or it is a self-help ......."

As he chose the words, Malu seemed to make up her mind, and continued, "We are now sailing towards the gravel belt. ”

"Gravel belt ......?" The teenagers quickly glanced at each other. Say was the first to realize, "Well, please wait a minute! No way? ”

"Your instincts are so sharp." Mu Da patted him on the shoulder, and Ma Liuling said in a heavy tone, "—there are all kinds of things floating in the cosmic space in the rubble belt. Of course, there will also be some warships that were damaged in battle, so ......" Hearing her say this, Kira and the others finally understood the meaning of the so-called "supply", and suddenly all changed their faces.

"Ah...... Is it to 'replenish' ...... from there? ”

"Take the water ...... there? Is this serious? Back on the Archangel's bridge, Kira raised her voice in astonishment.

"Because there's almost 100 million tons of water frozen there." Without giving any reason, Natal just told the truth. They have just decided to transport water from the remains of "Junius7".

"But...... You saw that too, right? That's where hundreds of thousands of people died, ......! Kira protested desperately. For him as a adjuster, that place has a special meaning. In fact, apart from him, most people also feel similar psychological resistance. But they had a reason to do so.

"That's the only source of water we've found." ”

Kira swallowed the words back.

"No one wants to set foot in that place if they can!" As if to leave no room for rebuttal, Mu immediately continued, "However, this is also a last resort! We're alive – so we have to live too! ”

"It's helpless, isn't it? If we don't, we're going to run out of it! As if he had figured it out, Mu said straight to the point. The teenagers all had a look of confusion and disgust on their faces. In the face of these long-anticipated reactions, Malu sighed.

"When the time comes, I'd like to ask for your assistance in the outboard activities of the dinghy." Mu's plan also made her hesitate strongly from the bottom of her heart. And yet—"We have no intention of disturbing the sleep of the dead, but only to get a little bit of what we need most at the moment from what has been lost." To survive—" She said resolutely, even though she felt the sound of sophistry echoing in her words. Yes, we must live, even if we are stigmatized as scavengers or grave robbers.

………

"It's a destroyer, probably the engine was broken...... "The wreckage floating in the rubble belt is mostly of an earlier type.

"It's not too much damage, I think there will be some ammunition or something......" Say spoke to Parr in the control seat. The initial psychological resistance to "tomb robbing" was soon forgotten with the excitement of leaving the ship for the first time in a working boat, and a certain feeling of treasure hunting. So when Parr muttered such a sentence, he couldn't help but be shocked again.

"Hey, yes, I really hope everyone inside escaped safely......" The large empty hole in the engine department looks like a tomb.

The Strike Gundam accompanies the dinghy piloted by Thor and Mirialia into the Sea of Gravel. After circumnavigating the wreckage that looked like the outer wall of a spaceship, an extremely strange sight appeared.

"Ah......h

"Wow......"

“…… This...... Be......? Kira and Thor and the others shouted at the same time.

In front of me, there is a frozen land. It's a bit like a rural landscape somewhere in the past. The withered and frozen wheat has been erected into a pale field, with only scattered farm-like buildings, which have been preserved almost in a vacuum.

The land was frozen in the blink of an eye boiling under decompression, like a sea of grief and protest over the fate of the colony star. The central axis tower was horribly broken, and around the high-tension strings that were torn like drifting wires, the few remaining outer walls were broken with a little self-repairing glass, enveloping the sea of ice.

It was once part of the plant - now it's just a wreckage.

Kira and the others, who were wearing outboard overalls, descended to this vacuum-covered land. Everyone was speechless. The empty scene in front of me was even more lonely than the darkness of the universe, as if returning to a home without family was terrifying. Unconsciously slowed their pace, and walked down the road to what looked like a storeroom. As soon as the door opened, Mirialia screamed in fear.

Kira looked at the floating objects in front of her as if she was frozen, she must have rushed into this room desperately before this place was destroyed. It was the corpse of a miserable mother who held her child tightly to her chest as if she wanted to protect her. Hiding under the mother's arm, the child's gender could not be seen. I saw a baby bear floating next to them with lost eyeballs, probably the child's puppet.

What an indescribable sight. The people who once lived on this colonial planet have now all suffered the same fate as the mother and son. This is the scene of "junius7" - "Bloody Valentine" takes place.

Standing on the now-frozen sandy beaches of the past, Milia scattered her hands full of flowers. Of course, there are no flowers on the Archangel, so she and Thor and others folded these paper flowers with colored paper. A little girl from the refugees also came to help them fold. On the surface of the sea, which solidifies into angry waves, small colorful flowers are flying.

Once upon a time in this place, people were like them, running, laughing, growing and breathing. On the frozen earth, or in the ship, people prayed silently at the same time. Maybe it's just to appease their consciences, but at least they all feel they should. It's a graveyard, it's earthly—and it's the mark of their sins.

The job begins. Kira is on guard in the nearby Sky Outpost in the Strike Gundam while guarding the transport boat carrying ice and ammunition. In silence, his watch sounded an emergency call. In the cockpit of the Strike Gundam, the alarm sirens sounded. Kira, who was in a trance to let her thoughts drift away, was so frightened that she quickly checked the screen.

On the opposite side of the gravel belt is a moving object. - It's MS! An electric shock of tension rushed through Kira's body. The computer quickly confirmed the model. The text that popped up on the screen showed ZGMF-LRR704B, the Forced Scout Double-seated Jean.

“…… How at this time! Kira gritted her teeth and cursed. The Archangel's material movement is not over yet, if Jean finds out and calls for support, ......! He pulled the beam of the rifle into front of his eyes with a telescope. The crosshairs have locked on Jean who is looking for something.

A locked beep sounded, and the word 'fire' was urging him before his eyes.

(Go away......!) Come on...... ）

Don't look at anything, get out of this realm. As if hearing Kira's prayers, Jean's thrusters erupted in flames, about to leave the place. Unexpectedly, it turned around and came back as if it had discovered something, and Kira glanced at the screen in surprise, and it turned out to be the Archangel's work boat that had broken into Jean's field of vision.

"Bastard! Why should you notice? Jean raised his rifle and began to shoot. The bullets grazed the dinghy.

"Why ......!" Kira's finger pulled the trigger. A beam of light shot out, straight through Jean's body. The flames of the explosion lit up all around.

"Thank you...... Thank you! Kira! Kaz's voice jumped through the megaphone. It turned out that he was sitting in the dinghy.

"I almost thought I was going to die-" "Strike Gundam, what's going on......" Kaz's voice seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but the Archangel's communication cut in. Kira didn't answer, and turned off the radio with a rough bang. Facing the earth destroyed by the Earth Army and the monument to the tortured and killed adjusters, he prayed silently.

However, he was not qualified to pray. He was in the company of the United Earth forces that carried out the slaughter, and was forced to fight the soldiers who were also adjusters; In this way, he is not even allowed to pray for his compatriots. He didn't want to kill at all. It's just- just trying to protect ......!

And then—the electronic voice sounded again. Kira jerked her face up.

- Are there still enemies? However, this time, it was not the enemy plane that was shining on the screen.

…………

"Huh? They noticed so quickly that a small lifeboat was missing? Through the screen, Lin Yiyan, who looked up from the book, looked curiously at ms not far away.

"Won't it be discovered?" It seemed that Lin Yiyan's calmness had affected Lux, and Lux also looked at Lin Yiyan quietly and asked.

"No!" Lin Yiyan thought for a while, and then said, "Soon, that MS will be finished!" Sure enough, as Lin Yiyan's words fell, a beam of light instantly pierced the MS, and the explosion occurred directly in the vicinity of Lin Yiyan and Lux's lifeboat.

The violent impact made the lifeboat shake slightly, and at the same time, the illusion spell was lifted. Then came Lux's strange words, "It seems, we've been discovered?" ”

"It must have been found, and it was picked up!" With Lin Yiyan's complaint, the Strike Gundam appeared in front of Lin Yiyan. Then, the other party carefully picked up the lifeboat. Silently moving towards Lin Yiyan's goal, the Archangel.

"Did Mr. Yi Yan already know about this situation?" Lux asked meaningfully. (To be continued.) )
