The roar of the jet engine engulfed the entire airport. With the permission of the tower, the passenger plane filled with passengers quickly took off and headed east.
Amidst the roar, a man and a woman stood on the roof and watched the passenger plane gradually rise into the sky.
"Selene. Although I'm a little nosy, I think you agreed a little too quickly. "
When he was the deputy head of the D.S.S.D Security Department, Edmund was also Selene's bodyguard when she was out.
"What are you referring to? Or are you curious about what's inside this envelope? "
Selene raised her hand and shook the envelope in her hand.
Edmund looked up at the blue sky and spread his hands, indicating that he was just curious.
"I didn't expect you to be so curious! You're still so curious. "
Selene put the envelope in her arms and shook her finger slightly.
"Although this isn't considered a secret, before the mystery is solved, I don't want too many people to know. I'm afraid that even the eldest daughter of the Sas family thinks so too. "
"The Sas family? What a mysterious family. "
Edmund wasn't angered by Selene's rejection of his curiosity. Instead, he sighed at the fact that there were still unknown families hidden in this world.
"Mysterious? Probably so! But the reason why the D.S.S.D can continue many cutting-edge technological research is because of the help of these mysterious families. Okay! The mysterious eldest daughter of the Sas family has gone back. So, it's time for us to work. Otherwise, we'll be letting down the big boss who funded our research. "
Lux's journey to find someone ended in such a short time.
Ray Mingkai, who was sitting in the first class cabin, turned his gaze slightly and glanced at Lux who was looking at the sea of white clouds outside the porthole.
At this moment, she seemed to have become a child who was experiencing the atmosphere for the first time. She was filled with curiosity about the sea of white clouds that could only be seen at a height of ten thousand meters.
It was due to this reason that when Lux met Jemengard and Selene earlier, she felt as though she was in a dream and didn't feel real at all.
"Kai. What are you looking at? "
Sensing Ray Mingkai's gaze, Lux turned around and looked at Ray Mingkai.
Sure enough, her eyes sparkled with the light of seeing something novel.
"No. I'm just thinking about something. "
"Is it about Miss Selene?"
The corners of Lux's mouth curled up slightly, as if she was very satisfied with Ray Mingkai's puzzlement.
Or rather, Lux was satisfied that Ray Mingkai, who had been silently protecting her, bringing her to Scandinavia, and was able to smoothly resolve any crisis, still had doubts.
"Yes."
Ray Mingkai immediately saw through Lacus's intentions.
However, he didn't expose her and readily admitted this point.
The corners of Lux's mouth gradually curled up.
She raised a finger to her lips, putting on a secretive gesture.
"That's a secret! Kai. Now was not the time to reveal the truth! Moreover, that should only be one of my guesses. "
"As the saying goes, a woman's secret?"
Of course, Ray Mingkai didn't say that out loud. He only nodded, indicating that he already knew.
Unexpectedly, Ray Mingkai's attitude made Lux mistakenly think that Ray Mingkai seemed to be angry. She looked at Ray Mingkai cautiously.
"Kai. You … are you angry? "
Ray Mingkai was startled, then shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"No. I'm not angry. People always have secrets, don't they? Alright. The matter here is over. Next, we will be going to Scandinavia. Over there, do you have a way to contact that Sas Family? "
Ray Mingkai changed the topic without leaving a trace so that Lux wouldn't continue on this topic.
"Yes. Although my memory is a bit blurry, I have a way. "
Lacus chuckled and said confidently.
"Is that so? Then there's no problem. According to the route, we will reach Scandinavia in 6 to 8 hours. Audrey, you take a rest first! "
"Yes, okay!"
After the excitement brought about by the novel sea of clouds subsided, fatigue followed closely.
In less than a few minutes, Lux fell into a deep sleep.
After covering Lux with a small blanket, Ray Mingkai also closed his eyes to rest.
After some time, the White Cat State Zero's call made Ray Mingkai open his eyes again.
"Kai, wake up! There's a situation! Look out the window. "
Ray Mingkai, who opened his eyes, saw the panic-stricken cabin at first glance.
Those who were usually well-dressed and called successful people looked out of the window in panic and kept exchanging their opinions.
However, these so-called opinions were more of spreading the panic in their hearts to the surrounding passengers.
"That's … Earth United's fighter jet."
In the distant airspace where flashes of light were constantly erupting, one after another, the figures of the green MS fighter flying on the flight pedals pierced deeply into Lei Mingkai's eyes.
"There's a battle airspace nearby! Oh no! "
Ray Mingkai and the others were only on a civilian passenger plane. Once they were involved in this aerial battle, it would only end in destruction.
The panic in the cabin was getting stronger and stronger, almost swallowing the human's rationality. Lux was awakened by the noises that were getting louder and louder.
"Kai, what's going on?"
With both hands holding the small blanket that Ray Mingkai covered her, Lux looked at the panic-stricken crowd and asked.
"It should be the battlefield between Earth United and Zaft in front. This plane should be turning to avoid this battlefield. Don't worry! It'll be fine! "
Ray Mingkai briefly told Lux what happened and comforted her softly.
At the same time, Ray Mingkai called out to the White Cat State Zero in his mind.
"State Zero. Pay attention to the situation nearby! We have to prepare for the worst. "
"Understood! I'm now monitoring the situation in the cockpit. The captain seems to be preparing to bypass this airspace. Just that … "
"Just that?"
Ray Mingkai was constantly paying attention to the battlefield in the distance, afraid that a stray bullet would suddenly fly over and destroy the passenger plane.
"The fuel of this passenger plane seems to be unable to continue the journey. According to the captain, the fuel was supposed to be replenished at the next airport. But in the end, we encountered this battle … "
Before the White Cat State Zero finished speaking, a scream swept over.
At the same time, Ray Mingkai's right hand tightened — Lux reached out and grabbed Ray Mingkai's right hand.
There was no other reason for this scene.
It was because of two Earth United fighter jets that came out of nowhere and flew past the passenger plane from both sides.
In particular, when the two fighter jets flew past, they deliberately lit up the missiles hanging under the wings. This action frightened all the passengers.
"Quick! Quick! Change the route! Those bastards are for real! "
The fighter jets that flashed the missiles constantly made warning movements in front of the passenger plane.
Under the flashing of the tracers, the captain of the passenger plane finally made a choice.
Rather than being blown up by the missiles here, it was better to try to use the last of the fuel to find the next airport that could replenish fuel.
Hence, under the extremely panicked eyes of the passengers, the passenger plane turned and quickly left the battlefield under the "escort" of the two fighter jets.
"It's over! Kai. This passenger plane can't hold on for much longer! "
As everyone heaved a sigh of relief, State White Cat Zero sang a different tune.
"Are they being expelled?"
Ray Mingkai looked at the two fighter jets that were still flying together even though they were far away from the battlefield.
It was not hard to imagine that the passenger plane was gradually being forced to fly away from the original route under the "escort" of the fighter jets to an unknown destination.
"Audrey, get ready!"
Ray Mingkai raised his hand and patted Lux's hand, nodding slightly.
Seeing this, Lux nodded in response and began to pack the few belongings she had with her.
Ray Mingkai took the backpack from the luggage cabinet above his head when no one was paying attention.
"They're gone! The two fighter jets have left! "
After the "accompanying" fighter jet left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Regardless of the purpose of the fighter jets' appearance, their existence did make everyone feel a great deal of pressure.
During the few hours that the fighter jets were flying together, everyone was afraid that a missile would be launched at any time and swallow the passenger plane.
"Kai."
Lacus, who secretly heaved a sigh of relief, saw Lei Mingkai's increasingly solemn expression.
"Get ready!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent tremor swept over like an avalanche. Without giving the passengers any time to react, the passengers who had not fastened their seat belts were knocked up and slammed into the cabin wall.
In an instant, screams were heard and the dazzling red light quickly occupied everyone's vision.
"This passenger plane is out of fuel! Kai! "
White Cat State Zero retracted its gaze from the cockpit, from the two captains who were trying their best to maintain the balance of the passenger plane that had lost power, and loudly reminded Ray Mingkai.
"Get ready! State Zero! "
"Understood!"
At this moment, there were not many choices.
Ray Mingkai, who could only gamble on the White Cat State Zero's ability, protected Lux under his body.
"Don't move! Be careful and protect yourself! "
"Okay!"
"Boom!!"
In the next second, a loud roar tore everyone's consciousness apart.
The Sahara Desert had the worst climate on Earth, and was also known as the "forbidden zone for life".
In this desert, where the temperature difference between day and night was extremely large, sand and dust were stirred up.
"Seb! Can't you go faster? "
It was not the wind in the desert that stirred up the sand and dust, but the off-road vehicles that sped across the desert.
At the front of these off-road vehicles, a middle-aged man with a big beard and scalp was driving an off-road vehicle. A blonde girl was anxiously looking into the distance. Behind the undulating sand dunes, a jet black smoke column was rising into the air, and it was particularly eye-catching.
Half an hour ago, the girl's organization suddenly received a piece of information.
An unknown passenger plane suddenly crashed into a desert at the edge of the organization's traditional area of activity.
In order to find out the truth, and to save the lives that might still be alive, the blonde girl brought along the organization's person-in-charge, Seb Ahlman, and the manpower that could be gathered in a short period of time.
The jet black smoke column,
The pungent smell,
The scorching flames,
And the luggage that was thrown out of the broken cabin and scattered all over the ground.
"Quick! See if there are any survivors!! "
Seb saw the terrible situation in front of him and immediately issued a rescue order.
In fact, when they saw the plane that could be considered to have completely fallen apart, everyone almost subconsciously thought that there might be no life worth saving here.
However, fate would always play a little joke in this moment of despair.
"Seb! Carly! Here! Come quickly! There are still survivors here! A man and a woman!! Quick! Come and help! "
The desert was scorching, but in this scorching place where no life could survive, there would always be a paradise for life to reproduce.
"This weather is really hot!"
In a house with a small lake behind it, a kettle was buzzing.
A man with short brown hair and wheat-colored skin was rummaging through the cabinet next to it.
"Oh! Found it! It's here! "
In the small drawer, there was a pack of ground coffee powder lying there quietly.
When he saw the pack of coffee powder, the man's expression suddenly became interesting.
However, before he could carefully open the coffee powder and make himself a cup of delicious coffee, his adjutant, Martin Da Costa, knocked on the door.
"Is it Martin? Come in! "
The man calculated the ratio with a spoon and poured the coffee powder into the cup while casually responding to the adjutant who knocked on the door.
"Yes! Excuse me! Captain! We have the latest information. "
"Oh? The latest information? Let me guess, is it the Earth Union or the idiots in the Dawn Desert? "
The man poured the boiled hot water into the cup. In an instant, the entire room was filled with the aroma of coffee, causing Martin to involuntarily sniff.
"Mmm! Mmm! It smells good! "
After the carefully prepared coffee was made, the man turned back to his seat and slowly enjoyed the coffee while waiting for the adjutant to continue.
"No, it has nothing to do with the Earth Union. It should be said that it has something to do with the Dawn Desert. Three hours ago, an unknown passenger plane suddenly appeared at the edge of the desert and crashed. At that time, before our intelligence system had time to investigate clearly, Dawn Desert was one step ahead of us and searched the crash site of the passenger plane. "
"Oh? A passenger plane? "
He put down the coffee and looked at the adjutant.
"Then, what do you think the idiots in the Dawn Desert will find on the passenger plane? The secret weapon of the Earth Union? Or a passenger who was seriously injured and on the verge of death? Well, no matter which answer it is, the Dawn Desert has already taken a step ahead. "
Speaking of this, the man sighed.
"It's really difficult! Hehe. Forget it! I've had enough leisure for this period of time. It's time to move my muscles! Martin, inform everyone to get ready to go! "
"Yes!"
