When Xiao Ran piloted the Sky Overlord to the town that he had visited during the day, the entire town had changed beyond recognition. It was no longer as bustling and lively as it was during the day. Various houses were ablaze, and countless small stalls on the streets had long been burned to ashes. Looking down from the sky, the entire town was covered in red flames. It stood tall in the desert, looking as shocking as the Flaming Mountain.
However, none of the people present were Monkey King's disciple. When they saw the Flaming Mountain transformed from a city, their emotions were completely different from the Monkey King's. When the people of the Dawn Desert saw the Flaming Mountain, they only felt anger and sorrow. The thought of revenge for the destruction of their home had occupied all their thoughts. The resistance soldiers in the vehicles gripped their weapons tightly. Their faces were full of anxiety and worry. Of course, the anger in their eyes was not to be underestimated.
When the lights of the Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of a group of people that could be clearly seen under the illumination of the flames, Xiao Ran piloted the Sky Overlord and slowly landed on the ground. At this time, the Assault Gundam had also arrived with the convoy. However, Mu, who was piloting the other Sky Overlord, had already landed on the ground. He immediately transmitted the current situation to the Archangel. After that, he stood aside and used the candies on his body to tease a few crying children.
"As expected of an uncle. He actually carries these things with him." When Xiao Ran saw Mu's action, he shrugged his shoulders and took out a large bag from the back seat of the Sky Overlord. When he placed the bag on the ground and opened it, more children, as well as mothers carrying children, rushed in front of him.
The entire bag contained more candies than what Mu had taken out. Almost all of the supplies of the Archangel, including candies, chocolates, and biscuits, had been requested from the logistics department before Xiao Ran set off. The quantity was not too much, but at least there was a full bag.
Then, under Mu's astonished gaze, Xiao Ran distributed the things in the bag to the children one by one. Mu looked at the only candy left in his hand and then at the big bag in Xiao Ran's hand. Suddenly, he had the same thought as Xiao Ran. "He's really an uncle. He's even more well-prepared than I am. No wonder he used to be a teacher."
When the people of Dawn Desert found their loved ones among the refugees who ran out of the town, they didn't even notice that there weren't many people injured or even sacrificed in the burning of a small town in the desert that was comparable to a city. Such a situation that was almost impossible to happen in a battle was not worth mentioning in the face of the fury of the people of the Dawn Desert over the destruction of their homeland. After confirming that their families were safe and sound, a few of the Dawn Desert resistance soldiers who had been intimate with them for a while began to clamor, urging more people to get on the vehicles and chase after Zaft for revenge.
The calm people tried to persuade them, but their anger had already burned all their rationality. More than two-thirds of the resistance soldiers picked up their weapons and got on the vehicles. Perhaps it was the ambush yesterday that killed a few of Zaft's Baku units that made them full of confidence. Soon, the convoy of the Dawn Desert set off.
"Is it really appropriate to chase after them like this?" Mu walked to Xiao Ran's side and asked with a sigh.
Xiao Ran shook his head. He glanced at the still burning town from afar. He could feel the heat from it. His hand kept on distributing snacks to the children who reached out to him. He said leisurely, "Don't you realize that other than the sadness for their homeland, these refugees aren't injured at all?"
"Huh?" Only then did Mu react. If it was Zaft's sudden attack, there wouldn't be so many refugees here. Moreover, there were so many children and women.
Mu quickly asked the refugees about the situation and ran back to the Sky Overlord. He used the communicator on it to call Kira to follow the departing Dawn Desert. Then he had the Archangel speed up and said to Xiao Ran, "Zaft's people broadcast to the city before the attack, giving these people a lot of time to evacuate. It should be a trap. I have to go take a look."
"Go. Although I can pilot the Sky Overlord, I'm not confident that I can pilot it as well as you." Xiao Ran waved his hand at Mu and continued with his work. After glancing at Xiao Ran, Mu shrugged his shoulders and sat on the Sky Overlord. Soon, it flew into the sky with a gust of wind and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
While waiting for the Archangel, Law also appeared here. Xiao Ran was not too surprised. After Law hurriedly drove away the car belonging to the Archangel, Xiao Ran was sure that Law would eventually come here. This guy is a good person who can't bear to see death. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rescued Andy, the Desert Tiger, and sent him back to PLANT without knowing him in the original work. He also made prosthetics for Andy. He also saved Kira from the Gundam that was destroyed by Aslan. He carried Kira to a safe place.
Two other people, a man and a woman, appeared with Law. It was his companion, Liam Jaffield, and Shuri, who has always liked Law Jule. The three of them drove a large truck and even brought along some supplies that Xiao Ran didn't know where they got them from. Although it wasn't a lot, in Xiao Ran's opinion, it was probably all they had.
The Archangel came slowly and stopped near the crowd. A group of soldiers led by Bakirulu walked out of the Archangel and took most of the supplies from the Archangel. The refugees in the whole town, even if the Archangel had just received a complete supply from the Eighth Fleet, could not help these refugees much at all. It could only ensure that they would not starve for the time being.
Until the sun appeared, the people from the Archangel and Law had been very busy, distributing water and food to those who didn't get anything, helping the injured to dress their wounds, and helping the doctors in the town and the Archangel to check the children. Although they didn't sleep all night, almost everyone here didn't feel sleepy.
When the sun shone on the earth again, Mu's Overlord also landed again. Seeing Mu's heavy face, Xiao Ran could probably guess what happened. It must be that the people of Dawn Desert were ambushed or attacked by the Zaft army, and many people died.
Xiao Ran shook his head slightly. This kind of thing couldn't be stopped even if he knew about it. The mentality of the people in the Dawn Desert wasn't something that could be dispelled with just a few words. That was why Xiao Ran was indifferent from the beginning. He didn't have the slightest intention to help. He just minded his own business here because he knew that it would be useless to say anything. Even if he went, he wouldn't be able to help. It was better to stay here and play with those crying children.
"He's here too?" Mu saw the busy Law. Seeing Law with a sincere smile helping others, Mu suddenly felt that Law did not seem to be the waste merchants in his impression. "I can't imagine that those waste merchants who value profit so much have such a kind heart. They don't go to the city to pick up scraps, but instead they help others here."
"Is it not allowed to have good people in the waste merchants?" Xiao Ran smiled and said, "They not only came to help, but also brought some things, some tents and food. It's not a small number."
Mu said, "It's really rare."
"The situation is not good." Xiao Ran suddenly asked.
Mu, who knew what Xiao Ran was asking, nodded silently and said, "Some people died."
"As expected, it's time to lick the wounds." Xiao Ran said and yawned, waving his hand to Mu, "I'll say hello to my friends and go to rest. You guys are okay, but I haven't slept for two days. Even if I'm made of iron, I can't hold on."
