Outside the blue planet, there was a huge stone monument that instantly buried nearly 250,000 lives.
Euneus 7.
In the shocking event called Bloody Valentine's Day, it, which was once the agricultural base of PLANT, was destroyed.
It became this tombstone that forever floated in space, circling the earth over and over again from the earth's orbit.
A year after that shocking incident, a civilian spaceship, the Silver Wind, with the condolences of all the citizens of PLANT, docked above the tombstone to pay tribute to the souls of their compatriots who died tragically that day.
However, this should have been a solemn memorial service, but it was overshadowed by a layer of shadow.
A shadow that came from the call of death.
"Da da da da!"
Looking from space, the porthole of the Silver Wind flashed with flashes of light, and then a black figure fell down with a trace of red.
Stepping on the gradually expanding red liquid that dyed the cold floor red, figures covered in combat suits quickly passed through the tunnel and charged into the depths of the Silver Wind.
"Da da da da da!"
The sound of gunfire continued to echo in the tunnel.
In the flickering fire, the attackers became denser and denser.
"Tsk! This damn alliance!! "
The bodyguards, who only had pistols in their hands for self-defense, gritted their teeth. Taking advantage of the gap in the attackers' firepower, they suddenly raised their hands and fired bullets at the attackers.
"Lux! Let's go to the back! "
The bodyguards guarded the door in front of them, but Ray Mingkai knew that the enemy came prepared.
The bodyguards' pistols alone couldn't defeat the enemy.
Yes!
The attack in Ray Mingkai's memory happened.
Although Ray Mingkai had repeatedly hinted that this trip was risky before the Silver Wind departed, Lux still didn't take it seriously.
Until now, everyone realized that the original plan couldn't deal with the unexpected situation in front of them.
Although the bodyguards were tall and strong, the pistols they carried were not semi-automatic rifles at all. They might even be a match for the attackers with more powerful weapons.
The corner of Lux's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything.
This was because Lei Mingkai had already grabbed her and was trying to bring Lacus to the rear cabin where the escape pods were stored.
"Be careful! Grenade!! "
After a few steps, the bodyguards' screams made Ray Mingkai turn around abruptly and block Lux, who couldn't react in time.
"BOOM!"
The next second, the roar of an explosion swept across the area.
The pungent smell of gunpowder, the buzzing noises caused by the explosions, and the bright red floating in front of her eyes under the microgravity were all deeply stimulating Lacus's senses.
"Let's go!"
In the buzzing noise, Lux seemed to hear Ray Mingkai's voice.
Looking up, Lux saw a trace of blood at the corner of Lei Mingkai's mouth.
Under Lux's gaze, Ray Mingkai only raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then pulled Lux up again and continued to walk to the back cabin.
Before leaving, Lux subconsciously turned around and looked behind her. She saw the bodyguards lying on the ground. Among them, some of the bodyguards who could barely move but whose faces were covered in blood shouted loudly.
"Miss Lux! Don't worry about us! Quickly follow Mr. Ray Mingkai! "
"Tatatat!"
The gunshots continued.
Even though Ray Mingkai brought Lux away from the tunnel that had become a battlefield, she could still hear the buzzing and gunshots mixed with the sounds of death.
Lux gritted her teeth and tried to shake off Ray Mingkai's hand, but she couldn't do so.
"Sorry! Miss Lux. The opponent isn't someone who can be moved with words. They came prepared. "
Ray Mingkai, who was walking in front, felt Lux's resistance and naturally understood what Lux wanted to do.
"But, but …"
The buzzing noise in Lux's ears gradually faded, but the gunshots became clearer.
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, Lux's vision turned black as she was pushed into the tunnel by Ray Mingkai.
"Tatatatat!"
A series of gunshots whizzed past.
Enemies also appeared in the tunnel leading to the back cabin.
After inadvertently seeing the bullet wound on Ray Mingkai's arm, Lux finally accepted the reality in front of her.
The attackers were here to take her life!
Ray Mingkai's brows were tightly knitted. He protected Lux with one hand and took out a pistol from his waist with the other. After shooting down the attackers who rushed to the middle of the tunnel, he ran into another tunnel with Lux.
Fortunately, before the Silver Wind set off, Ray Mingkai had forced himself to memorize the escape routes of this spaceship.
Although Ray Mingkai didn't know how much he could memorize, the situation in front of him made Ray Mingkai rejoice.
Even if Ray Mingkai's firepower was far inferior to the attackers who came prepared, Ray Mingkai had a slight advantage over the attackers in terms of familiarity with this spaceship.
"Boom!"
A violent tremor swept over, causing the careless Lux to fall.
Fortunately, Lei Mingkai reacted in time and shifted his feet, using himself as a meat cushion in front of Lacus, preventing her from being smashed by the cold wall and bleeding profusely.
"Lux, we need to get to the escape pod immediately. The enemy is probably using heavy firepower! "
Although he had a soft woman in his arms, Ray Mingkai was still clear-headed.
The reason why the Silver Wind would shake so violently and engulf the entire spaceship was probably because the attackers used heavy firepower.
Ray Mingkai's guess was correct.
However, in reality, there were some discrepancies with Ray Mingkai's guess.
It was true that the attackers used heavy firepower.
However.
The attackers' heavy firepower wasn't from weapons such as RPGs.
It was …
Figures shouting the slogan "Give me the power to revolutionize the world", withstanding the attacks of the bodyguards, rushed into the tunnel that the bodyguards had been guarding.
Then …
A terrifying explosion erupted.
Amidst the explosion, the Silver Wind's hull was blasted open. The sudden imbalance of air pressure sucked the bodyguards and some of the attackers into the void, ending the battle.
Amidst the occasional tremors, Lux saw Ray Mingkai who was leading the way, cautiously observing the surroundings, but didn't say anything.
Right now, she knew that the only thing she could do was to remain silent and follow closely behind Ray Mingkai, until this sudden attack ended and they arrived safely.
In the empty tunnel, a few figures flitted past quickly, seemingly searching for Ray Mingkai and Lux's traces.
"It's over. Lux, this way! "
Ray Mingkai looked at the figures disappearing at the end of the tunnel and let out a sigh of relief.
As long as they walked past the tunnel in front of them, they would be at the location of the escape pod.
"En, let's go!"
The following operation went smoothly.
It seemed that the attackers had already searched this area and wouldn't return in a short period of time.
This also gave Ray Mingkai and Lux a chance to retreat.
"Lux, you go in first! I'll come back later! "
Originally, Ray Mingkai wanted to follow Lux into the escape pod.
However, when he saw his red sleeves, he stopped.
"Ray Mingkai. You … "
Lux went into a daze, then immediately thought that Ray Mingkai might stay behind like those bodyguards.
Ray Mingkai smiled slightly and shook his head.
"No! Lux. I'll be there soon. "
After saying that, Lei Mingkai turned around and tore off the red uniform that represented the elite Zaft pilot he was wearing. He casually changed into someone else's clothes that floated to his side.
If he continued to wear the Zaft Red Coat, Lei Mingkai would probably be locked up by the Archangel crew who were scared out of their wits by Kreutzer.
Furthermore …
After quickly changing his clothes, Ray Mingkai took out the pendant of the Star, Moon, and Sun Trinity from the Red Shirt's pocket.
"Maybe, I need to get Lux to disguise herself!"
"Ta ta ta!"
At this moment, a series of messy footsteps came from the end of the tunnel.
It's the attackers!
"We've been discovered!"
When Ray Mingkai heard the footsteps, he didn't dare to delay and immediately turned around. Under Lux's relieved gaze, Ray Mingkai returned to the escape pod and raised his hand to close the door.
However, before Ray Mingkai and Lux could rejoice, an even more intense and terrifying tremor swept over.
In an instant, the escape pod was turned upside down.
In order to prevent Lux from hitting her head and bleeding, Ray Mingkai once again pulled Lux into his arms and protected her tightly.
Meanwhile, the outside of the escape pod had already turned into a sea of fire.
It was a hellish scene.
The Silver Wind, which served as the mourning and consolation ship for the Bloody Valentine's Day incident not long ago, suddenly exploded.
In the turbulent sea of fire that tore apart the hull of the ship, this spaceship that was supposed to comfort the souls of the dead became a new member of this sad PLANT.
The tumbling sea of fire and the explosive energy that tore everything apart dragged this spaceship and the humans who were still on it, regardless of camp or identity, into an irrecoverable hell.
"Beep beep beep beep beep …"
Amidst the ear-piercing and urgent warning, Ray Mingkai, who slowly opened his eyes, saw a flashing red light.
"Hiss!"
Just as he was about to reach out to turn off the warning system, he was stopped by a burst of pain.
"Ray Mingkai, are you okay?!"
In the flashing red light, Lux looked up and saw Ray Mingkai's furrowed brows, then turned back to look at Ray Mingkai's sleeves that were still stained red by his wounds even though he had changed into casual clothes.
"No. I'm fine! It's just some superficial wounds. Lux, you've changed your position slightly. I want to see the state of the escape pod. "
Ray Mingkai shook his head and motioned for Lux to change positions with him. He then raised his hand to turn off the escape pod's warning system.
After a round of inspection, Ray Mingkai felt very lucky.
Other than the light system, the escape pod's other systems were all intact.
However, the current situation was not considered lucky.
This was because the rescue light system that allowed the escape pod's location to be known by the outside world among the countless wreckage that separated from Younus 7 had been damaged.
After losing this relatively safe method of requesting help, Ray Mingkai and Lux were left with a rather risky method of requesting help.
That was to actively activate the rescue signal and let the outside world know the location of the escape pod so that Ray Mingkai and Lux could be saved.
However …
At this moment, Ray Mingkai had no way of knowing the situation outside the escape pod.
"I'm afraid that the Silver Wind has met with mishap."
Lux said faintly.
Ray Mingkai nodded silently.
"Then, I'll leave everything to you! Ray Mingkai. "
What Ray Mingkai did not expect was that Lux would make such a quick decision.
The moment she realized that the Silver Wind had met with mishap, Lux actually handed her safety over to Ray Mingkai.
"This is the Silver Wind! Ruth calling Miss Lux! Ruth calling Miss Lux!! Please reply if you copy!! "
Before Ray Mingkai could reply, a communication from the international public channel suddenly rang.
"It's Ruth! Is she okay? "
Lux exclaimed and subconsciously wanted to press the communication button, but her hand was caught by Ray Mingkai.
Ray Mingkai did not say anything and only shook his head with a solemn expression. His eyes were full of vigilance.
Seeing this, Lux hesitated for a moment, but still retracted her right hand and looked at Ray Mingkai quietly.
Just like what she said just now, she would leave everything to Ray Mingkai.
Although she wanted to reply to the other party out of impulse, Lux, who had calmed down, understood that her actions were a little rash.
"Tsk! Kai, you've saved me a lot of trouble this time! "
Lux did not know.
The reason why Ray Mingkai stopped Lux just now was because a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"State Zero. Where are you now? Can you come over? "
"I can't! The MDE bomb from before caused me to be seriously injured. Being able to chat with you now is the limit of what I can do for now. "
White Cat State Zero's voice echoed in Ray Mingkai's mind for a long time.
"Well ~ Come to think of it, there are a group of people watching you from outside. Don't reply! As for when to call for help, let me do it! "
"Understood! I'll leave it to you! State Zero. "
Although White Cat State Zero could not provide support, being able to see the situation outside was already the biggest help at the moment.
"Mm. You should think about how to help your little princess hide her identity. Almost everyone around here is your enemy, isn't it? "
White Cat State Zero's voice faded away, and Ray Mingkai subconsciously held the pendant in his hand.
"Lux, I'll lend you this pendant temporarily."
Lux looked over and saw that Ray Mingkai had a pendant with stars, moon, and sun on it.
"This is?"
"This is a magical pendant!"
C.E71, February 2nd, 18: 00 pm.
A sudden emergency message sent all the patrol fleets stationed within PLANT's territory into the highest state of alert.
At the same time, a small white spaceship with the highest priority communication identification code issued by Zaft headquarters quickly passed through the readjusted defense line and silently slid into PLANT's capital — April City.
The sound of hurried running could be heard from the entrance of the hospital. A red figure knocked down three carts and four medical staff. Panting, the figure finally arrived at a ward guarded by many soldiers. The two most powerful people in PLANT, Patrick Sara and Sigel Klein, were standing at the door.
"You're here! Aslan. Lux was seriously injured by the assassination team sent by the Earth Alliance. Everyone on the Silver Wind, including our compatriot Ray Mingkai, died together with the assassination team in order to protect Lux. "
Standing in front of the ward and looking at his son who was panting, Patrick Sala said a shocking fact with a cold face!!
