The signal flares launched from the Menellao suddenly affected the hearts of countless people, especially after seeing the meaning of the combination of those signal flares. Whether it was Zaft or the Earth Army, they didn't dare to fully believe whether what they saw was real or not, but the Menellao, which had no reaction, seemed to have explained everything.
The originally chaotic battlefield suddenly quieted down. Both sides stopped attacking at the same time. The MS and MA also quickly separated and regrouped, guarding against each other. Thunderbolt and Gundam, who had already left the battle, also rushed in the direction of the Archangel at the first moment.
On the Menellao, Halbarton and his men knew that they couldn't stop the attack of the four "traitors", so they took the initiative to completely lock the door of the passage from the bridge to the outside, and destroyed it from the inside. They cut off all the switches that controlled the door. In this way, the people outside couldn't come in, and the people inside couldn't go out. This was indeed a good way for Halbarton, who had already made up his mind to die, but for the three participants outside the door, it was a very big headache.
Even though they prided themselves on being of a higher race, they were still helpless in the face of a steel door that was tens of centimeters thick. They were obviously there to protect Halbarton's life, but that stupid donkey kept sending himself to his death time and time again. Especially when the silver-haired man, Baines, reported the situation from time to time. It was easy to imagine the hatred and anger in the hearts of the three participants who stood outside the bridge but couldn't enter.
Fortunately, among the four participants, the silver-haired man, Baines, was an expert in electronics. It should be said that most people in Baines' world were experts in this field. They were implanted with extremely advanced biochips since birth, so they had a natural advantage in computing. The ability Baines had awakened was also related to this.
Although Barnes couldn't do anything about the disconnected bridge, in addition to the tightly shut bridge, he had a way to control all the other devices in the battleship that were controlled by the quantum computer. He immediately cut off the bridge's control to the battleship and cut off all external communications.
They couldn't bring Harbarton away from the bridge, but since they had accepted the mission, they couldn't accept the punishment and consequences of failing the mission. So, whether it was for their own lives or for the mission about Harbarton, the eldest sister of the four decisively ordered Baines to take control of the ship and issue the order to surrender.
If they failed the mission, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences of being hunted down by both factions. Instead, they might as well complete the mission and join the other faction, a faction that seemed more powerful. This was Aeschi's thought process, and he had no choice but to do so.
"How did they do it?" Mu slapped the armrest beside him heavily and said with a tone of disbelief and relief, "A few people can actually control a complete warship!"
"Why do I feel like you're rejoicing because Zaft stopped attacking Menelrao and the 8th Fleet?" Xiao Ran turned to look at Mu, shook his head and frowned, thinking to himself, "Menelrao was completely controlled so quickly? The abilities of these aliens really can't be underestimated. Fortunately, they didn't board the Archangel, so I didn't have to come into contact with them. But the 8th Fleet wasn't completely wiped out here. Will it affect the future? "
"No, it shouldn't. The most important thing is the landing site of the Archangel. After all, once Harbarton is captured by Zaft, it also means the end of his political career. No matter what the reason is, a general who surrendered and was captured in front of the enemy will have no right to speak in the future even if he is released. Even if he can be reinstated, at least in the near future, Zaft won't release Harbarton until the end of the war."
"The landing procedure has officially started. Everyone immediately fix themselves in a safe place according to the landing procedures and take all safety measures."
"Damn it, the brat isn't back yet." As soon as Mu finished speaking, the Archangel began to shake violently. The continuous shaking made people feel more flustered and irritated than the intermittent shaking during the battle.
Feeling the cabin shaking more and more violently, the mood of the two also fluctuated with the shaking. This was especially true for Xiao Ran, who had never experienced something like this before. He could clearly feel the gravity beneath his feet, and the feeling of being bound by gravity made his heart jump into his throat. His body was bound by various forces, and the feeling of being unable to control himself made him squirm in his throat. He even used both of his hands to grab the sides of his body tightly. The red alarm in the waiting room flashed again and again, and the combination of the oppressive atmosphere almost made Xiao Ran open his mouth and scream.
At this time, every minute and every second was incomparably torturous for Xiao Ran. Time had already become an illusion in his senses. Every second was as unbearable as a minute. He could only bury his head like an ostrich. He could only hope that this landing would end in the blink of an eye. The feeling of losing control was really terrible.
After an unknown period of time, Xiao Ran suddenly felt himself being pulled and thrown. The Archangel's interior was also filled with the sound of metal clanking. The creaking sound entered his ears, as if the Archangel was about to fall apart. After a soft bang, the creaking sound of the Archangel came to an abrupt stop. Xiao Ran's heart, which was in his throat, finally calmed down. Within a few minutes, the feeling of being pulled and pulled completely disappeared. It seemed that everything had returned to normal, except for the fact that his body was getting heavier and heavier.
Xiao Ran clenched his fists and felt that he had regained control of his body. He only felt that the air around him seemed to have relaxed. After taking two deep breaths, he raised his head and leaned against the back of the chair.
"Not used to it?" Mu saw Xiao Ran's sweaty face and smiled. "You must have rarely experienced this kind of thing."
Xiao Ran was stunned, then nodded and said ambiguously, "Rarely. I don't like this feeling of losing control. The interaction of inertia and gravity is very uncomfortable."
Mu smiled, released the protective safety measures, and stood up. He stretched his body and said, "It's good to get used to it. It seems that we have broken through the atmosphere. I really don't know where we fell. I hope it's not just Zaft's sphere of influence."
Xiao Ran was a little confused. "Huh? How do you know? "
Mu replied, "When the Archangel landed just now, it should have deviated from its original path. The small angle from the universe will make our landing site change dramatically. Just now, it should have changed the landing angle because of the brat. Go to the bridge and see what's going on. You have to know where we are."
"Okay." Xiao Ran felt that her head was a little muddled. She did not know if it was caused by the change of environment from the universe to Earth. After nodding, she loosened her seat belt and stood up to follow Mu out of the waiting room.
Xiao Ran and Mu did not speak all the way to the bridge. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the two of them, but in fact, there were a lot of things on their minds. Xiao Ran was very worried about the landing site, and he was also worried about the Eighth Fleet that had not been completely destroyed. This worry was different from other people's worries. Xiao Ran was afraid that the Eighth Fleet would eventually become a huge foreshadowing that would change the plot. He only hoped that the Eighth Fleet would not reappear until the end of the war as he thought.
But Xiao Ran had completely ignored a problem. From the time they came to this world until now, they had more or less caused the original trend of the world to change a lot. These changes were more or less, but if they were to accumulate, one day they would be so big that they could not be ignored. And today, Xiao Ran simply did not have the strength to face such changes.
Mu was worried that the Archangel would land in the enemy's sphere of influence, which was completely normal. He was also worried about whether Kira would really be caught by the Archangel. He was also quite worried about the future of the Eighth Fleet and Halbarton. But as a man, like Xiao Ran, he did not write all this on his face. Instead, he tried to make himself relax so that the atmosphere on the Archangel would be good.
As soon as the two of them walked into the bridge, they heard Miriya calling Kira's name, but she did not get any response for a long time.
"What happened?" Mu walked up to Miriya and asked.
Miriya shook her head with a worried expression. "I don't know what happened to Kira. I've been calling him for a long time, but he hasn't replied."
"Has the Assault Gundam boarded the ship?" Xiao Ran rubbed his head, trying to wake himself up.
Mary gently twirled her hair and answered Xiao Ran's question with a gloomy expression. "The signals of the Archangel and the Assault Gundam have overlapped. We can confirm that the Assault Gundam is currently above the Archangel."
"Maybe it's exhausted from the high-intensity battle. It's impossible to send people to check the situation now. How long until we reach the ground?" Xiao Ran slowly adjusted his breathing rate. As someone who had never experienced landing in space, Xiao Ran found it difficult to get used to it like the others. Of course, this included his students, Miriya and the others.
"A few minutes," Arnold, the helmsman, answered loudly.
Xiao Ran nodded and asked the question he was most worried about without batting an eyelid. "Can we confirm where the final landing point is from this angle?"
After some calculations, the intelligence officer, Dalida, answered with an ugly expression, "We can confirm that it's within Zaft's sphere of influence in North Africa."
"That's troublesome." Mu shook his head helplessly.
"It is indeed troublesome." Xiao Ran nodded and suddenly sighed. "Let's start praying."
Mary was a little stunned. "Praying?"
Mu spread his hands and smiled. "Praying to escape from this place?"
Everyone in the bridge turned to look at Xiao Ran, even Arnold, the helmsman, was no exception.
"Not only that, other than praying that Archangel can safely escape from Zaft's sphere of influence, I'm afraid we also have to pray that General Halbarton didn't send the information about the Assault Gundam to the moon for insurance purposes during the battle." Xiao Ran shook his head and finished speaking. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave the bridge.
His words stunned everyone on the bridge. Those who didn't understand didn't understand at all, while those who understood had ugly expressions on their faces.
Mary stood up and hurriedly said to Xiao Ran who was about to leave, "Where are you going? Aren't you going to explain to me why you said that?"
"There are still a few minutes before we land. I want to check on Kira's situation. Besides, if he really fainted, we need someone to pilot the Assault Gundam back to Gnacou, right?" Xiao Ran stopped and turned to look at Mary. Seeing the sadness and sadness in Mary's eyes, Xiao Ran couldn't help but say, "I'll be back soon. It's just to pick up Kira. Don't show such an expression. Seeing you like this, I really don't have the confidence to discourage you. "
"Who will discourage you?!" When Mary heard Xiao Ran's words, she turned her head away and sat back down. "Hurry up."
