Chapter 18 Captives

(Ask for tickets and collections)

After being taught by Mu and Kira, Xiao Ran also reorganized the driving skills that only existed in memory and instinct, and finally became his own after a little bit of understanding.

Afterwards, Xiao Ran also enthusiastically invited Mu to a confrontation again. The final result was that Xiao Ran used the performance advantage of the Strike Gundam to destroy all four wired pods of the Mebius Zero Type. Because the body's energy was exhausted, he lost the confrontation again.

Kira, who has been watching the battle between the two, finally discovered a key problem: "Teacher, the operation instructions you issued when operating the mobile suit were not accurate enough or fast enough, the response during the aiming process was not fast enough, and the effective prediction was not enough. Ten percent, the initiative is not enough, and the full performance of the Strike Gundam cannot be fully utilized without mentioning the hit rate."

Xiao Ran nodded his head lightly, smiled slightly and said without hesitation: "There is no way to do this. After all, driving an industrial MS is not as complicated as fighting. I think I can operate the Strike Gundam like this. It must be a natural talent. Of course, compared to you, I am still far behind."

"Where..." Hearing Xiao Ran's praise, Kira patted her head in embarrassment: "After all, I am an adjuster, and there is nothing comparable to a teacher who is a natural person."

"Speaking of adjusters..." Mu Ye walked up to the two of them, looked at Xiao Ran quite strangely and asked, "How do you operate the OS that only adjusters can use?"

"Huh?" Kira froze for a moment.

"I'm not too clear about what you said." Xiao Ran shook his head, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because of what I said before, the extraordinary talent, ha ha."

Although Xiao Ran couldn't say clearly, he was sure in his mind that it was because of the D-level general-purpose mech driving skills that he could ignore the problem of the different OS between the adjuster and the natural person. But first, the OS must be normal, and the key lies in the word "universal".

However, although it is universal, it is not an OS specially written for Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran's driving experience is too short, and his driving skills are not enough to ignore some subtle differences. Naturally, there will be some small mistakes in the operation process. For example, a few meters more when moving forward, and less when going backward.

In this case, although Xiao Ran can rely on the skill of proficiency in space warfare to make up for it in space warfare, if he encounters an enemy at the elite level, his flaws will expand infinitely, and the enemy will seize the opportunity at any time and give him a fatal blow. hit.

"It's strange, it's really strange." Mu shook his head with a puzzled expression on his face. After he couldn't figure out what was going on, he gave up thinking about it, patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder, and looked at Xiao Ran and Kira. The man said: "Okay, I've wasted enough time here, and I have to hurry up and adjust the new equipment of Mebius Zero."

"En." Xiao Ran nodded, and left Ganaku with Kira after Mu left.

On the way back to the room, Xiao Ran saw Kira's hesitant expression several times, and felt a little strange: "Kira, what's wrong with you? If you want to say something, just say it."

"Teacher..." Kira looked up at Xiao Ran who was a head taller than him, and asked hesitantly, "Teacher, why do you drive a mobile suit?"

"Why?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows, knowing that Kira had doubts about him. There was no reason why Xiao Ran could drive a mobile suit but let a student set it in front, so he said, "This question is very strange. I can't drive a combat MS,

Although I may have experience in driving industrial mobile suits, you should understand that combat use and industrial use are completely two concepts. "

Kira nodded slightly: "Yeah."

Xiao Ran raised his head slightly, seeming to be recalling and describing, but he was actually thinking about what he should say: "I found a virtual training machine in Gnakuli a few days ago, which aroused my interest, and I also want to try myself Whether or not I have the ability to drive a mobile suit, these days I will be conducting virtual battles in Ganakuri every day. Maybe I really have some natural talents. Relying on my previous experience of piloting an industrial mobile suit, I will soon be able to use it. hand."

After saying this, Xiao Ran turned his head to look at Kira beside him: "What do you think of my driving skills?"

Kira turned to look at Xiao Ran, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.

Xiao Ran smiled, and said indifferently: "Speak."

"Very bad." Kira buried her head in a low voice, and said realistically: "The teacher's driving skills should not be much different from Zaft's general green clothes, but compared to the red clothes, especially the holy shield, the storm, In a duel, the pilots of Thunder's four Gundams are still far behind, and when facing any of them, all they can do is protect themselves."

"It seems that I am still a soldier-level character, haha." Xiao Ran smiled without hesitation, and stretched out his hand to rub Kira's hair: "You are my target now, just wait, although you are Adjuster, but I am not that simple, maybe one day I will catch up with you."

Just after finishing speaking, the announcement on the Archangel rang: "All personnel on the bridge, Ensign Kira, Captain Mu, please come to the bridge to gather, repeat, please all personnel on the bridge, Ensign Kira, Captain Mu to the ship Bridge assembly."

Xiao Ran and Kira looked at each other, and they started to trot. A few minutes later, they arrived at the bridge. At this time, except for Captain Mu, all the staff on the bridge had arrived, including Mirialia and the student army, Mu also rushed over not long after.

Standing on the bridge, Xiao Ran looked at the universe in front of him through the transparent tempered glass inside the bridge, where a long string of gravel belts seemed to be indistinct before his eyes, which made Xiao Ran's thoughts Unconsciously, he drifted into the distance, and it was not until Mu patted him strangely that he came back to his senses. At this time, except for the three top officers of the Archangel, Mu, Bucky Lulu and Mariou were still on board. Outside the bridge, other people left at some unknown time.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu asked, and Maru and Baki Lulu also looked at Xiao Ran suspiciously.

"The unjust souls of more than 200,000 people in the gravel belt." Xiao Ran shook his head lightly, and smiled lightly: "It's sad, it's just a nuclear bomb, I don't know how the person who launched that nuclear bomb feels now, two More than 100,000 people died because of him. Heh, I don’t know why, but I actually feel like crying. I don’t know, what is the will that you real soldiers are proud of, to slaughter innocents? Haha.”

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving behind the three people who were buzzing in their heads, looking at each other, unable to say a word for a long time.

After leaving, Xiao Ran returned to his room, half of what he said on the bridge was to cover up his thoughts, and half was to express his feelings. Thinking of Lux meeting Kira, Xiao Ran found it very interesting. But after all, being in this world, being really close to Junius 7 and the bodies of more than 200,000 dead people, Xiao Ran also felt lingering fear.

Xiao Ran, who had been resting in the room, was not disturbed by anyone until Kira and the others came back from resupplying supplies from the sunken warships in the gravel belt for the first time. He left the room and was called by Marius to the bridge where the dispute was taking place. middle.

After Xiao Ran entered, he calmed down the excited students with just a few words, and agreed to go to the debris of Junius 7 to replenish the most important water source and lacking items.

"Those people are dead after all, but we are still alive. It is true that we must maintain a certain respect for the dead, but what about the living, are they thirsty to death in the universe because of this respect? I don't want to disturb their rest, but in order to live There are some things that must be done when going down, death is not terrible, what is afraid is that you cannot face death, if you are not willing to go, then I will go, and I will complete this supply with the necessary respect and silence."

Xiao Ran's words made the student soldiers have no reason to refute, and Maru did not force everyone to go to Junius 7 for supplies immediately. More than an hour later, Xiao Ran drove the workboat and carried Millie, who was full of origami lilies. Aria went to Junius 7 and paid tribute to the souls who died unjustly.

Looking at the land under his feet, Xiao Ran couldn't help but close his eyes after only persisting for a minute. The pictures that appeared in his eyes were much more terrifying than those seen in the animation. Although it can't be seen everywhere, as long as you pay attention You can find all kinds of distorted corpses on Junius 7 that make people feel horrible, and some of them even have their stomachs and eyes popping out. There are almost no corpses that appear in good condition in the animation, and they are hideous. Their faces are also telling the world about their injustice.

Immersed in this atmosphere of mourning and terror, Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling an extreme dislike for the Earth Army. When watching animations, he didn't like the various behaviors of the Earth Army, but it was far from what it is now. Such intense disgust and anger.

After the mourning was finished, Xiao Ran started to work. Knowing the plot, he also focused on other places while working, scanning the small radar and monitors on the ship over and over again. But because the interference here is too serious, the effect of the radar is not even comparable to the external monitor of the work boat.

A few hours later, the lack of ammunition on the Archangel was almost replenished for the last time, and other living materials, especially water sources, had to continue to work for another four hours because of the difficulty in mining. Don't let yourself miss something in the process of moving the goods, except that after returning to the Archangel for the first time and sending Miria Ria back, Xiao Ran directly took over all the work of water mining and stayed in Junius 7 stayed on the Internet for a long time.

When Xiao Ran saw the sudden movement of Strike Gundam from the monitor, a look of surprise appeared on his face. While manipulating the external monitor of the workboat to change the angle, he directly connected to Strike Gundam's separate communication: "Basic Pull, find a way to capture it!"

"Teacher? Capture? Did you?" Kira's voice entered Xiao Ran's ears, only hearing Kira's words paused, and then said: "I see, I will try to capture, but what about the people inside?" ?”

"I'll solve it when the time comes." Xiao Ran fixed his eyes on the black body that appeared on the screen, showing an extremely excited expression, and without thinking, he said directly in a deep voice: "If you can't, just casually." Just find a chance and let it go.”

"Uh, that's not good..." Kira was worried that the scout-type Gene, who didn't know anything yet, would find the working boat, but because of Xiao Ran, he became a little helpless instead.

"Don't worry, I have my own plan." Xiao Ran's tone was full of encouragement, and when he saw that the scout-type Gene was about to leave as soon as he turned around, he also hurriedly said: "Kira, it's leaving!"

"I see, teacher." Kira's helpless voice was transmitted to Xiao Ran's work boat. In an instant, Xiao Ran saw Strike Gundam rushing out of the bunker quickly, and raised the beam rifle in his hand, just in front of the reconnaissance model. At the same time that En discovered the heat source induction, the three beams fired from the beam rifle in the hand of Strike Gundam also hit the scout Jean almost at the same time.

In Xiao Ran's eyes, the Strike Gundam's actions were quick and accurate. Three attacks directly scrapped the arms and head of the scout-type Gene, and quickly rushed to the scout-type Gene, aiming at it with the beam rifle. Gene, with the other hand resting on the body of the scout type Gene.

Through the unbroken communication, Xiao Ran also heard Kira's voice: "Surrender, in this case, if you continue to resist, there is no possibility of surviving, we will guarantee your safety."

The pilot of the investigative Gene didn't answer all the time, and Xiao Ran's heart tensed up. To be honest, he didn't care about the choice of the Gene's pilot at all. Even if he wanted to blew himself up, he was unwilling to surrender, so Xiao Ran would naturally pass by the mobile suit in front of him.

The pilot of the detective Gene may still be hesitating, but for Xiao Ran, every second has become a torment of fear and joy. Fortunately, this torment did not last too long. With results.

The cockpit of the Scout Gene opened, and a green-clothed pilot also slowly stood up from the cockpit and raised his hands in the direction of the Strike Gundam. Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran felt an uncontrollable joy and excitement in his heart. His eyes were fixed on the damaged body, showing an expression of incomparable satisfaction.

Just when Xiao Ran was imagining that he was driving Gene to fight in all directions, Kira's startled voice interrupted Xiao Ran's association: "Is it a girl?"

Xiao Ran looked at the figure flying out of Jean's cockpit. In a happy mood, he couldn't help but whistled when he saw the perfect figure that was stretched tightly by the space suit.
