The handsome Michelle's words caused many people to look around in confusion. Safe? Where was the safe place? At this time, the entire satellite was full of devastation. There was no home, no road in sight. How could there be a safe place?
In the current environment of the satellite, it was needless to say that it was full of devastation. At a glance, at least half of the entire satellite's environment had been destroyed due to the attacks of the Earth Federation Army. This sealed environment was full of all kinds of black smoke produced by the battle. The flames from the previous battle had also caused some changes in the air inside the satellite. The decrease in oxygen was something that anyone could feel. Even if they found a safe place to hide, if the situation inside the satellite was not dealt with and no one came to rescue them, they would only be waiting for death in vain and linger on with their last breaths.
The word 'safe' had instead expressed the fear in many people's hearts. This led to dozens of people running out of the originally hundreds of people. They either left on their own or pulled their companions to leave in a hurry, hurriedly running to the place they thought was safe. However, more people still chose to stay in a place with more people.
"Everyone, don't run around. I know where to ensure our safety." Nalor did not stop the dozens of people from leaving. Instead, she shouted to the remaining people, "The Earth Federation's ships are parked at the port. It seems that they are not under attack. We can go over and ask them for help. Now, let's move forward together. If you meet any injured people on the way, don't leave them behind. Saving an injured soldier is equivalent to saving ourselves."
Many people suddenly reacted. Although this satellite was under the control of the Earth Federation, this did not mean that the people living in the satellite were members of the Earth Federation. The Earth Federation was a governing body and also a military organization. However, this did not mean that they were human and lived here, and they were part of the Earth Federation.
Some people began to think, "Yes, the Earth Federation's ships are at the port. Won't we be safe if we go over there?"
Some people also thought, "It's because the Earth Federation's ships came to this satellite that this satellite was attacked. Those Earth Federation people must have been targeted by Gu Wenjun's people. It was all because they had built a military base here.
Some people blamed the Earth Federation Army in their hearts, but at the same time, they also hated Gu Wenjun for attacking them. The war between the Earth Federation and Guyon might have implemented a certain standpoint, but it only represented the interests of a small group of people. Not daring to voice their anger without power was perhaps the only choice for the commoners in this world.
Or, they would join one side with anger, forcing the anger of their friends and family who died because of the war between the two sides onto the other side. Then, they would be led by those who hid at the back and waved their hands, but could make countless people rush forward one after another. They would be led to hate everyone other than their own side, leading them to become a warrior. Leading them to battle, leading them to become insignificant numbers on the battle report.
These commoners were pathetic. They had no will of their own. They didn't know what to do, and they didn't know what to do. In such an era, they couldn't even guarantee their own thoughts. It was pathetic.
Now, even though these commoners weren't led to battle, they were led by Captain Vry. Under the guidance of the others, Nalo also became a blind follower. She even felt motivated to work together. Along the way, they cooperated and helped each other to find usable vehicles. They listened to the surrounding sounds and tried to save the soldiers and civilians who were injured but not dead.
As long as there was someone leading the way, these panicked commoners easily followed the others' footsteps. Under the guidance of Nalor and Vry, rescuing people became the priority of this group of people who gathered together. They also gathered resources that could be recycled along the way. For example, food, water, clothes, medicine, and so on were not left behind. Gradually, the number of people in this group increased, but the speed at which they advanced also became slower and slower. Many people's emotions also began to become polarized. They were either too busy to care about anything else, or they were too busy to see anything else.
When the group of about 1000 people rushed into the spaceport, the spaceport opened. When they saw the majestic battleship that wasn't affected by any battle, everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The white battleship's gigantic frame and steel structure gave these people, who had already lost their wits, a lot of courage. In addition, the three Gundams also stood at various points of the battleship, protecting it like soldiers. Although it would make some people suspicious, how could ordinary civilians care so much?
On the white fortress, after the appearance of the 1000 people, the people inside fell into the awkward situation that Xiao Ran had set for them. The purpose of these people was obvious, which was to enter the battleship for protection. Therefore, the crew of the battleship only had two choices.
The first was to open the door and let the refugees and injured soldiers in. This was the right and humane choice, but the result was very likely, no, it was very likely that random people would sneak into the battleship. Furthermore, if there were too many refugees and injured soldiers, the order in the battleship would be completely disrupted.
The second choice was to continue to close the door and ignore all the injured and refugees. From the perspective of the Earth Federation, this choice was the only right one. Even if the captain of the white fortress chose not to open the door and continued to maintain this awkward situation, the Earth Federation would not punish him and even reward him. However, for the civilians and injured soldiers in the spaceport, it wasn't that easy to accept.
This awkward situation made the captain of the White Fortress frown a little. In such a situation, choosing to open the door or not would not lead to a good result. After all, there were more than half of the Earth Federation soldiers in the crowd below who were in urgent need of rescue. No matter what he chose, it would be the right choice, but it would also be the wrong choice.
Therefore, the captain of the white fortress looked at the person standing next to him. He had a first-class family background, and perhaps he would achieve great things in the future, Brad Noah.
"Brad, what do you think we should do?"
Although at the beginning of the animation, Brad had shown extraordinary commanding ability, maturity, calmness, and foresight at the age of 19, but after seeing this scene, he didn't know what to do because the people below were not the enemy. They were the people on their side.
Although he didn't know what to do, Brad still stood up straight, raised his head, and answered, "We must first find out who the pilots of the three Gundams are and what their purpose is. Do the appearance of these refugees and injured soldiers have anything to do with them? "
"But no matter what, now that most of the official crew members have left the ship and can't be contacted, even if we don't choose to open the door and let these people in, we can't start the battleship with the normal configuration and leave here. Even if the three Gundams let us leave, without enough supplies, we can't avoid Gu Wenjun's battleship. "
"You're right." The captain was not young. After looking deeply at the crowd that appeared on the display screen, he ordered, "Contact the three Gundams, I want to talk to them."
"Yes, sir." Brad saluted the captain.
The three Gundams' cockpits sounded at the same time, all of which were issued by the White Fortress. But whether it was Ryukino or El Erf, after seeing this notification, they just turned silent. Only Xiao Ran reacted a little after seeing the communication. The corners of his mouth curled up as he took out a mask made by Luo and put it on his face.
Among the several masks that he had replaced before. The mask made by Uncle Ian in the world of Gundam 00 was the one that Xiao Ran had used the longest. In the world of Gundam 00, the mask could still be supported by the network, and the lens at the eye position could display data. Although these messy functions were useless after leaving that world, they were very comfortable, but in the end, they were destroyed in the world of revolutionary machines.
The new mask now was basically the same as the previous one. It had the same color, the same half of the face, the same breathable, but lighter and softer. It also had the strength to resist the direct impact of bullets. It was made by Luo for Xiao Ran. It also had the function of connecting to the network and receiving information, but in fact, it could only connect to the battleship and body currently owned by Xiao Ran. And the network of the 25th Fleet.
After putting on the mask, Xiao Ran opened the communication channel unhurriedly. The inside of the White Fortress bridge also appeared on the screen of the cockpit. It was a middle-aged man that he had no impression of, a young man who left his figure in countless Gundam games in Xiao Ran's memory.
Xiao Ran took a deep look at the young man in the Earth military uniform, Brad. But because of the mask, the two people on the other side of the communication channel could not feel where Xiao Ran's gaze was focused on.
"Who are you, and why are you snatching the top secret of our Earth Federation?"
The conversation had begun. There was no tit-for-tat, only a calm and puzzled exchange of questions. The old captain was very clear about the current situation. Being forceful would not bring about anything. Offending the three Gundam pilots would only make things more difficult for them. However, if they communicated well, they might be able to get some hidden information from Xiao Ran's mouth.
Xiao Ran looked at the old captain and did not feel anything about the other party's attitude. As for their identity, Xiao Ran had already planned for a long time. Using the name of the third force was absolutely unacceptable. In the UC world, at least at this time, there were only two forces, Guyon and the Earth Federation. If other forces dared to show their heads, they would be courting death. Xiao Ran naturally would not court death by leaving his name, and then one day, he might be targeted by the agents of the Earth Federation.
So Xiao Ran smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who we are. We just received some news that there will be something new here, so we came."
Xiao Ran's words stunned the old captain and Brad. Both of them understood the meaning of Xiao Ran's words. Although they had already thought that it was not surprising that Xiao Ran and the others had snatched the mecha, hearing this answer from Xiao Ran's mouth made them think more.
They received some news. Where did this news come from? It was inevitable that Project V would be exposed. The more secret something was, the easier it was for others to know about it. However, everyone knew that it would be exposed. Basically, they would exchange space for time, and in the end, the three Gundams would be tested and received on this satellite.
But even so, Guyon's side did not know the real information about Project V. Even the appearance of the Guyon battleship outside the satellite was completely because it bumped into something on the way to the satellite and was then tracked. Even Xiaya on the battleship could not guarantee that there was a product of Project V in this satellite, so he sent Zagu to investigate.
However, because a guy who was courting death wanted to make a contribution, he took the initiative to attack the satellite, leading to the series of events that followed. But then again, if the two Zagus didn't attack the satellite, it was hard to say whether Amulo would have been able to board the battleship, and whether Blayde would have been able to become the captain of the White Fortress was still uncertain.
Therefore, when Xiao Ran was bored, he also felt that the key reason for Gu Wenjun's defeat in the year-long war was that the guy who fired at the satellite and forced Amro to sit on the Gundam had an unshirkable responsibility.
The topic digressed. Even Guyon did not receive accurate information, and not everyone on the Earth Federation side clearly knew about it. Yet, Xiao Ran was able to accurately seize the opportunity to snatch the three Gundams. For the old captain, this was not just a matter of receiving a little bit of information, but a problem within the Earth Federation Army.
The old captain was silent for a while, and then asked again, "Your goal from the beginning was these three Ms?"
"Not only that, but also this ship." The corners of Xiao Ran's mouth curled up, and he said matter-of-factly, "Our goal from the beginning was these three Gundams, serial number RX-78, and this battleship called White Fortress. We never thought of attacking you from the beginning, but the timing of Guyon's appearance was too coincidental, and it also gave us a suitable opportunity."
"But now you've seen it for yourself, those two Zagus II's have been destroyed by us."
"Gundams …" The old captain and Brad were now even more certain of one thing. Xiao Ran accurately said the codes and serial numbers of the Gundams that had not been announced yet. Putting aside the possibility that Xiao Ran found the codes and serial numbers on the Gundams' computers, if Xiao Ran, the masked man, knew about them from the beginning …
In addition, Xiao Ran said that he did not intend to attack them from the beginning, intentionally or unintentionally, led Brad and the old captain to think in a certain direction. As for whether they believed it or not, that was another matter. (To be continued.)
