C.E.2 February 71

After a few days of sailing, the three of Marius, who were running out of fresh water stored by the Archangel, were discussing the issue on the bridge with sad faces, and on the screen beside them, a complex map of the intended path of the voyage was facing them.

"Is this the limit?? Can't we find another faster route to the moon base? The fresh water on the ship will only last a few days!"

Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu said with some irritation.

If the Archangel is fully studied, it will not be a problem to sail for dozens of days, but when the fresh water can only support a few days according to the minimum consumption, these routes will take at least ten days is a complete joke. Before they reached the lunar base, it was estimated that all of them would die of thirst, unless the three of them had the kind of ruthless idea of reducing the redundant population on the ship and ensuring the supply of fresh water for the main operators, which obviously no one could make up their minds until the last step was reached.

"It's impossible, this is the shortest route calculated, if the channel is shortened, it will run directly into the gravel belt! Of course, if the Archangel could pass through the gravel belt, the voyage would be much faster."

Malu rubbed her forehead with a wry smile and said, of course, her last words were just a joke.

Mu, who was looking at the route map on the side, shrugged his shoulders and said in a more neutral voice: "But if we rush over at this speed, we may become part of the gravel belt."

However, Mu, who was laughing at himself, seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked at the fairway map and muttered, "Wait a minute! Gravel belt"

After a while, Mu raised his head, he/she? A smug smile appeared on his face, he looked at the people in the bridge who were still frowning, clapped his hands, and said to everyone who was looking at him, "Maybe I am a 'man' who makes the impossible possible?"

Ten minutes later

Liuqi, Kira, Sey, Dore, Kaz, Miriaria, and the inconsequential Frey were all summoned to the bridge by Maliu.

"The main reason for calling everyone here this time is to talk about supplies."

In the middle of the bridge, Mu, who was standing among the three of Maliu, felt the encouraging gaze of Maliu and Bucky Lulu, and then spoke to the others.

"Supplies??"

Dore said suspiciously.

"Can you accept supplies? Where??"

Sei hurriedly asked, he knew that the supply on the Archangel was not sufficient.

"It's not so much that we can resupply, it's that we can get it"

Mu said with some embarrassment.

The others were okay, Liu Qi, who knew Mu's current situation, looked at Mu's embarrassed and delicate expression, and couldn't help grinning in his heart.

"Now we are heading to the gravel belt"

Maliu, who was sitting in the captain's seat, saw that Mu was a little speechless, so she took the initiative to explain.

"Gravel belt?"

Dole clearly didn't quite know what the term rubble belt meant.

"Gravel belt?? Is it true that there are indeed considerable supplies to be found there?"

Liu Qi had an expression of approval on his face, showing that he was born as a cosmic waste recycler and had the intelligence knowledge he must have.

"The rubble belt is home to the stuff and garbage that humans have been floating in space since the AD era, and of course there are warships that have been destroyed in battle, and if we're lucky, we should be able to find the supplies we need on it."

Malu explained to Dole and the others, who still didn't understand.

"Do we have to resupply there?"

Dore asked, surprised, to get the answer.

"This is also helpless, if we don't do that, our current supplies will not be able to last."

Mu immediately took over the conversation and explained.

However, in addition to Liu Qi's indifferent expression, several teenagers who were not deeply involved in the world all had a look of confusion and disgust on their faces - although Mu and Ma Lu didn't say much in their words just now, the actual meaning was to pick up dead people's things and use them! As college students in Heliopolis, they are still very clear about the meaning behind this statement.

"I think you used a workboat to help with the transportation at that time, was there a problem?"

Malu explained her ultimate intention in gathering the students.

However, Malu got a cold spot, and several teenagers looked at each other and did not answer immediately.

"Actually, we don't want to do this, but we can't do anything better, and this is so that we can continue to survive!"

Sitting in a chair, Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu explained and commented on the motives for this action in order to dispel the resistance in the hearts of Kira and the others.

"We're not trying to take away the dead people, we're just asking them to share something we're sure to use now in order to survive—"

As she spoke, she felt the sound of sophistry echoing in her words, but she still said resolutely, for the survival of all the people on the Archangel

However, looking at the expressions of Kira and the others, there was still an expression that we were very embarrassed, so Liu Qi spoke.

"Needless to say, I agree! No matter what, I have to live, let alone dig up the dead people's things in the rubble belt, and it's not unacceptable to use the dead people's corpses as food if necessary - anyway, there are more such things in the history of the East!"

Liu Qi, who has a small world as a warehouse, does not have a backache when he stands and talks, but his big truths make others, including Ma Liu, show disgusted or frightened expressions, which can be regarded as some kind of sequelae - the main thing is that the people of the Atlantic Federation are not very suitable for this kind of heavy food, and the people of the East Asian Republic and the Eurasian Federation are estimated to be stronger.

However, with Liu Qi's appearance, the persuasion work of the three of Ma Lu to Kira and the others was much smoother.

After using the excuse of survival, everyone, including Kira, accepted Maru's Tiyì and began to learn how to operate the engineering vehicle

Five hours later

The Gravel Belt region of the world of Gundam SEED

The Strike Gundam and several spacecraft get busy after entering the gravel belt.

However, after the Strike Gundam accompanied several dinghy into the depths of the Gravel Belt Sea, bypassing the wreckage that looked like the outer wall of a large spaceship, an extremely strange and spectacular scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Ahh

"This is this"

Except for Liu Qi and Bucky Lulu, who remained calm and did not shout, everyone, including Kira, screamed at the same time.

In front of everyone's eyes, there is a frozen wreckage of the continent! The continent is a bit like a rural landscape somewhere on earth, with withered and frozen wheat erected into a pale farmland, with only scattered buildings like farms and cities, a qiē that has been preserved almost in a vacuum, surrounded by countless rubbish or debris.

"How did the continent end up here?"

"It's Denius 7"

Although it is not clear, most people still recognize the origin of the wreckage of the continent that caused the fuse of the all-out war between PLANT and the United Earth - the tragedy of Blood Valentine's Day, the agricultural satellite of the PLANT satellite group that was nuke-bombed - Dinius 7!!

When Kira and the others, dressed in cosmic overalls, descended to the vacuum-covered land, the people who were still discussing on the dinghy were speechless.

The empty and silent scene on the wreckage of the continent in front of me was even more lonely than the pitch-black cosmic space, as if returning to a room that had not been inhabited for decades.

Everyone, including Liu Qi, unconsciously lightened their pace, and along a dilapidated street, several people walked towards a residential building.

"Ahhh

As soon as the door opened, Miliaria screamed in horror at what she saw, and ducked into the arms of her boyfriend Dole.

Including Liu Qi and Bucky Lulu, everyone did not laugh at Miliaria's timidity, and everyone looked at the scene illuminated by the light in front of them with an ugly face - it was the corpse of a mother who held the corpse of a child tightly to her chest and half-bowed her back. Beside them, there was a tattered baby bear doll, apparently the toy of the former child.

The unspeakable spectacle is overwhelming, and the people who once lived in this colonial satellite city are now suffering the same fate as the mother and son

Except for Liu Qi, who still maintained a relatively indifferent view, the others, including the people on the bridge of the Archangel, were obviously a little mentally stimulated. Not everyone has given an order to clear tens of millions of people like Liu Qi, and in the face of the place where more than 200,000 people died in the original news, he suddenly appeared in front of him, and saw the death of these people alive

Anyway, when he returned to the Archangel, no one including Bucky Lulu showed a happy look, and although Liu Qi didn't care how many people died on this continent, he could only show a heavy and lamenting expression on his face.

However, Kira and the others, who had just returned, did not know that they would have to face an even more difficult task that would test them even more

On the bridge of the Archangel

"With the water there? Are you serious??"

Kira suddenly raised her voice and questioned Ensign Bucky Lulu, who had proposed this building, with an excited expression.

"Because there's nearly 100 million tons of water frozen there!!"

Without giving any other reason, Natal Bucky Lulu told the most crucial truth with a straight face - it's so straightforward, so let's use a tactful excuse, right?

"But Natal saw it too?!! That's where hundreds of thousands of people died, go get their water."

Kira protested desperately.

For him as an adjuster, the wreckage of the satellite of Denius 7 has a special symbolic meaning - in fact, in addition to him, most natural people also have similar psychological resistance, including Marius, Mu and others.

But now they have a reason to do it!

"We only found out that there was water there"

In a helpless voice, Malu stated this tangled truth.

"Now no one on board will be happy about the situation, and no one will cheer that we have found water"

Mu said at Maliu's note. After everyone was silent, Mu continued in a neutral voice: "If you can, no one wants to alarm those who died, but there is no way, we are still alive!" And we need water to keep us alive!!"

When he said the last sentence, Mu's love became a little excited, and even his voice couldn't help but be high-pitched.

"Cedinius7, if it weren't for the fear of Zaft's retaliation, it would have been hollowed out long ago, right? I'll go! I just want to live!!"

Liu Qi put on a vanguard, which made Ma Lu and Bucky Lulu breathe a sigh of relief, everything is afraid that no one will come forward, and it will be easy to do if someone eats crabs first.

Hearing the persuasive words of several people, Kira and the others also recalled the inconveniences caused by the lack of water in the past few days, and soon everyone, including Kira, acquiesced in the plan to go to the wreckage of Denius 7 to get water. In the face of the cruel reality, personal thoughts and the like can only be thrown aside for the time being!

Then, after unifying everyone's minds, the Archangel began to turn around and fly towards the wreckage of Denius7, where water was found.

Taking advantage of this free time, the construction of the paper flower exchange water source agreed by Miria Lia and Sei in the Archangel ship began to be carried out, and then several people began to fold the paper flowers. The Archangel finally came to the wreckage of Denius 7 with water more than half an hour later, and stopped near it.

Then, several space boats and strike gundams flew out and flew towards the wreckage of Denius 7. A few minutes later, Miriaria, dressed in a space suit, stepped out of the boat docked on the ground, holding a large pile of paper flowers of various colors, and stood on a wreckage platform for a moment of silence. Immediately, in front of everyone's attention, a large number of paper flowers of different colors flew out and floated in the wreckage of Denius 7, adding a different color to this lonely wreckage.

After Miliaria threw out the paper flowers, all the personnel on the Archangel, including Maliu and Mu, saluted in silence for three minutes, and mourned in silence for the tragic place of Denius7, which was considered to be a masturbation for disturbing the sleep of more than 200,000 undead souls.

After a short mourning ceremony, Marius and the others regained their appearance as soldiers, and began to direct the crowd to cut and transport the ice in the wreckage of Denius7.

However, because the task was relatively heavy this time, and some of the battleships and MA wreckage from the original Denius 7 Blood Valentine's Day battle were found around, and a lot of useful ammunition and supplies were found in them, so in addition to the necessary operating personnel, most of the staff in the bridge were sent out.

It's just that the people who thought they would complete the task of collecting water and collecting ammunition and materials in a few hours were finally discovered by a raid reconnaissance type Jean who didn't know what to do here, but just as it launched an attack on the work boat, it was immediately destroyed by a strong attack piloted by Kira hidden on the side, but Kira, who couldn't destroy the opponent, looked at the scene of his first active killing since piloting the assault Gundam, and felt very painful and unbearable. Especially looking at the wreckage of Denius 7, which was destroyed by the United Earth Forces not far away, Kira was in a bad mood, ignoring the words of gratitude in the communication channel, and smashed his fists directly on the bridge of the Strike Gundam in front of him with a fist "Peng" - fortunately, the Strike Gundam did not cut corners, and the quality of the bridge was excellent.

"Didi"

But before Kira could finish venting her pain and cementation, the radar in the cockpit of the Strike Gundam rang out again.

"Lifeboat ?!!"

Looking at the lifeboat that appeared in front of him, Kira said with some surprise, and Kira, who was unconsciously unaware of the soldiers, did not hesitate to manipulate the Assault Gundam to hug the lifeboat, and then began to return under the order of the Archangel.

Because of the sudden appearance of the Raid Reconnaissance Jean, the other space boats also ended their operations and began to return to the Archangel

In the garage of the Archangel

"You really like to pick up things, are you planning to use waste recyclers as a career after retirement like Liu Qibing?"

Bucky Lulu looked at Kira and said helplessly, but when she saw someone on the other side, she said something to Liu Qi by the way.

"Ahem, isn't the waste recycler good, Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu is right, looking at the style of this rescue pod, it seems to be a high-end cargo, plus the raid reconnaissance type Jean that Kira said, I bet this rescue pod is definitely a big man in PLANT!!"

Looking at the meaning of revenge in Bucky Lulu's eyes, Liu Qi, who was originally in the crowd to see Lux, the black-bellied woman of "Gundam SEED", coughed a few times, opened his mouth to explain, and then changed everyone's topic.

"Big shot?? Really?"

"I think it's possible."

"I don't know who it is"

After Liu Qi's words, the other people around who were watching the excitement all ordered to turn their heads and ears, and even Ma Lu discussed the topic of who was in the rescue cabin with great interest.

"Stop! Silence me all!!"

Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more oriented towards the vegetable market and the tea party, Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, who was born in a military family, finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to stop this undisciplined scene.

Well, everyone including Marlu gave Lieutenant Bucky Lulu face, and after seeing Lieutenant Bucky Lulu go berserk, everyone kept their mouths shut.

After Lieutenant Bucky Lulu glanced at it for a week, she finally stopped satisfied, but her gaze stabbed the culprit N times by the way, but Liu Qi's indifferent look was immune to Bucky Lulu's gaze!

"Alright, it's going to be opened!"

At this time, the person in charge of the repair squad finally came forward and drew everyone's attention, including Bucky Lulu. Either way, the pod was right in front of you, and you knew who was inside.

Click-

Several soldiers, armed with automatic rifles, raised their weapons and aimed them at the rescue pod. Then after the person in charge of the repair squad pressed a key in his hand, the rescue cabin made a soft sound, and the hatch slowly opened, and everyone looked at the open rescue cabin, ready to witness the people in the rescue cabin.
