Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

At night, all sounds are silent.

Occasionally, stars twinkled in the sky.

In the middle of the night in the jungle, silhouettes flashed one after another.

The leading man squatted down on the edge of a cliff, took out the night vision binoculars and looked into the distance.

After a while, more than a dozen soldiers who were fully armed and wearing night vision goggles came behind the man without saying a word.

The leading man retracted the telescope, turned and nodded slightly towards the figure behind him. Everyone raised their hands and looked at the watch in their hands.

After setting the time, everyone looked at each other and nodded and left quietly in groups of three and three.

There was no sound in the middle.

at the same time.

The Aegean Sea rolled over, and a submarine quietly surfaced.

Dozens of soldiers boarded the speedboat without saying a word and rushed towards the mountains and forests in the distance.

Early morning.

woo-

The harsh siren rang through the forest.

But it came to an abrupt end at some point.

——————

The next day.

"what--?"

Zhen Asuka couldn't help but shouted loudly, and was stared at by Lei beside him, and quickly changed his tune and continued to ask: "...Uh, you mean exploration mission, right?"

Arthur stood in front of them, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right—! And this is an official order directly from the military headquarters!"

The military headquarters directly deployed the mission, and before you knew it, the Minerva also became a 'big man'.

Thalia squinted Arthur, this vice-captain is really—

"According to the information of the local residents-"

Arthur didn't find Thalia's sight, just called up the panel and the nearby map.

On the map, an inland region far from the Aegean coastline has a twinkling orange dot.

"—There is an unidentified research institution in this area. It is said that it is likely to be related to the combined military. There seems to be no movement at present, but there were frequent vehicles, planes and MSs coming and going. I heard that it is a large-scale research institution. mechanism."

"The siren also sounded over there last night, but it stopped suddenly for some unknown reason."

Zhen Asuka listened glumly. He thought it would be a big task, but he didn't expect to investigate some research institution.

"I hope you will set off to investigate tomorrow morning."

"That kind of work also calls us—er, are you going to belong?"

Shin Asuka still couldn't help but ask back.

After all, they are also top combat pilots, so they are going to scout? And still to scout the research unit of the unknown hall.

Is it necessary to drive two MS for such a small errand?

"Really, you are too presumptuous."

Ray spoke up as usual.

Arthur also corrected the real words, but did not appear displeased: "Hey, how can you say that kind of work, what if the family hides force inside?"

"what……"

It turned out to be the case, so of course you need to carry weapons.

Shin Asuka accepted this speculation for the time being, but heard Arthur still assuming there: "There is no movement now, who knows if someone is still using it, and if it is where an important institution is located, it must be heavily guarded... No no no , maybe it has a large secret base underground..."

Weird!

——Shin Asuka almost didn't spit out these words to ridicule the officer, so he had to cough a few times on purpose.

Arthur quickly came back to his senses from his whims: "—Uh, anyway, that's what the task is, you guys do it well!"

"receive."

Lei, who was always watching and listening intently, got up and saluted full of energy.

Shin Asuka followed suit, but his expression of disgust was very dazzling.

On the other side.

"Where's Mr. Andrew?"

Cagalli, who had just finished taking a bath and was about to eat dinner, suddenly found that there was one person missing at the table.

"He has something to do."

Lux stood aside and replied.

"Is that so?"

When Cagalli heard this, she didn't ask too many questions.

————

Zaku Mirage and Pulse Gundam leave the battleship.

The two airframes are not equipped with too much armed equipment. After all, for reconnaissance missions, ordinary equipment is enough.

They flew over the Gallipo Peninsula from the Sea of ​​Marmara to the Aegean Sea on the island of Starlo.

The blue sea was sparkling, and the two continued to fly along the coastline for a long time until they came to a north-south mountain range.

As the two of them advanced, the scenery below changed to folk houses and countryside, and gradually turned into forests and wasteland.

After flying over the deserted woodland for a while, there was an open flat field ahead.

"...that's right there."

Ray made a judgment, and the two flew there, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

They hovered in the sky for a while, but didn't notice any attack.

There was not even a human figure on the huge floor. Every building looked very old, and the asphalt on the ground was mottled and peeled off, and the damage was quite serious.

I don't know what this place was used for before, but it must have been abandoned for a long time, at least it looks like this.

"It seems that no one has attacked us."

Ray expressed his usual cautious reflections.

"Is that all right? Lei, I'm going down!"

Ma Asuka said in annoyance, and Dazai landed the Pulse Gundam inside the mechanism.

When he walked out of the plane, there was nothing but silence around him. Under this absolutely silent surround, Shin Asuka suddenly felt a touch of unease.

This place is not empty, but instead it concretizes the quiet atmosphere.

The overwhelming silence rushed towards him, as if the hand would be bounced back, there was an unpleasant silence everywhere.

After a while, Lei also got off the plane and walked over.

"Really, you are too flippant, no one is sure where the enemy will hide, maybe they just haven't shown up yet!"

"……I know!"

He said that he didn't care, but Ma Asuka carefully picked up the pistol.

What is this strange sense of unease? Is it the sadness of abandoned ruins? Or is it the slanting sunshine that makes the wide factory even more desolate?

"Let's go, let's go around first."

Under Lei's urging, Shin Asuka walked nervously.

The air was cold and heavy.

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, just as True Asuka looked nervously around, Lei in front of him suddenly reached out and stopped Asuka.

Asuka hurriedly pointed the muzzle of the gun, and then——there was nothing.

"What are you doing, scare me!"

Shin Asuka couldn't help but replied.

Lei didn't answer, just walked carefully to a corner, bent down and picked up a special cartridge case from the ground.

Looking at the markings and textures on the bullet casings, as well as the footprints that were swept but not completely swept away in the corners of the walls, Lei couldn't help frowning slightly.

This is the bullet of the Zaft special forces.

The weapons and ammunition of the Zaft special forces are all special, completely different from ordinary standard weapons.

"What's wrong?"

Shin Asuka came behind Lei, probed and asked ~www.readwn.com~ nothing. "

Lei Wenyan quietly put the bullet case into his trouser pocket, and the soles of his feet quietly swept across the footprints in the corner.

The two continued to walk forward.

But at this time, the thunder alert level was significantly higher.

As Lei continued to walk, Ma Asuka's nervousness gradually eased.

There really seems to be no one here.

Just when he started to think so, he couldn't help but secretly laugh when he remembered how much he made a fuss just now.

Now, he has no right to make fun of the deputy captain.

The two walked into one of the larger buildings one after another, and Lei led the way carefully up the stairs, paying attention to every step he took.

True Asuka was not so vigilant, but Jue Lei's behavior was rather troublesome.

Obviously there is no problem, he will always take a look there, or raise his leg to scan it.

However, only Ray himself knew that there was something wrong with this place.

Although the battlefield was cleaned very cleanly, the small traces of the battle still exist.

Traces of bullets, traces of blood, everywhere.

There must have been a battle here recently, and the members who participated in the battle were all elites in the army, even the kind who didn't give in too much to the task force.

I just don't know why, the traces of this battle are a little disordered, it seems that there are not only two forces but multiple forces.
