Gundam, Iron Banner

……

A few days later—

The lounge was completely surrounded, not only the members of the Black Otter team stayed inside, but even other staff squeezed in, and all of them stared straight at You Bai with eyes that wanted to eat people.

You Bai was a little embarrassed: "You, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Carl took a step forward and emerged from the crowd.

His face was gloomy, he looked You Bai up and down with strange eyes, and after a long time he asked in a heavy tone: "... Is that true?"

Hearing his questioning words in awe-inspiring tone, You Bai couldn't help being awed, and also felt quite uneasy in his heart, guessing whether it was the fact that he shot down the transport ship was exposed.

"Carl, what are you referring to—"

"Don't play stupid!"

Carl forcibly turned up the volume, interrupted You Bai's words, and said viciously, "We've heard about it! Audrey wrote a resignation report to the captain, saying that she would marry you for a honeymoon! Is there such a thing!"

"Huh!?" You Bai instantly raised his voice higher than his.

marry?

I never even thought about it!Let alone report to the captain.

But judging by the way other people wanted to eat people, this matter could not be groundless. There is no doubt that this is April's arbitrary action.

You Bai suddenly didn't know what to say.

I thought it was the exposure of the traitor's behavior, but the topic turned to the strange angle of marriage, and I felt a sense of emptiness in my heart, as if I lost all my strength after eating ten rounds at the beginning of a game of machine warfare.

Having said that, those men who have a crush on the lieutenant are just jealous, Lieutenant Rose, why are you gnashing your teeth, a woman?

"Wait a minute, Lieutenant April's good idea is probably this."

You Bai calmed down, thinking about it in his heart, marriage seems to be a good idea indeed.It can not only let the two of them leave together, but also eliminate the vigilance of their superiors.

Some people may doubt that I am unwell, but when it comes to getting married, no one will specifically censor it, right?Especially if the target is an old qualification like Lieutenant April, no one will suspect her.

If there is anything wrong with April's method, it should be impossible to explain to the captain.

You Bai ran away by himself, and kidnapped April, a skilled staff member, together. Ao Tuo was absolutely pissed off.

Just at this time, You Bai saw April's figure on the periphery of the crowd.

She rested her index finger on her lips, with a sly smile on her face, her eyes seemed to say: Don't confess me.

You Bai pointed there without hesitation, and said loudly: "Here! The lieutenant is there, you can ask her yourself!"

April's eyes widened, he didn't expect You Bai to be so decisive in betraying her, he couldn't even speak, and fled in a hurry.

The people in the lounge were instantly emptied, and You Bai leaned back on the chair, moaning uncontrollably.

"What is this called..."

Chapter 66: Departure

For the soldiers, there are very few opportunities to make troubles. His colleagues like to make troubles, so You Bai will make trouble with them, and he has the right to leave some good memories before parting.

Karl and the others thought that You Bai and April would come back, but they knew that there was a high probability that this departure would be a farewell, and the worst case would be to meet each other on the battlefield.Because of this, facing the smiling faces of Karl and the others, You Bai felt a little lonely.

Time passed day by day, and at the end of this month, You Bai's resignation procedures were completed.At this moment, Wes Murphy's injuries are almost healed. Although the actual combat is still a little bit reluctant, testing the MS is no longer a problem.

The Aswin docked at the Jinping Island Base, and You Bai completed all the handover procedures, and the two prepared to depart from the port here and take the shuttle to Earth.

Everyone in the Black Otter team sent them all the way to the ticket gate. Standing outside the gate, You Bai stretched out his hand to Wes Murphy: "Captain, thank you for your care and teaching during this time."

Unlike Carl and the others, Murphy knew that You Bai would not return to Titans, so the smile on his face was a bit forced for a while.He held You Bai's outstretched hand, and said with a wry smile, "Why are you so polite? From now on, we won't be in a superior-subordinate relationship."

You Bai smiled and said, "You will always be my captain."

Carl's face on the side was wrinkled, and his eyes were delicate: "Come on, this kind of words sound weird, like the FLAG in the movie that goes wrong..."

"Don't worry, I have set up so many death flags, but they have never taken effect. I am professional in pulling flags."

"Wait for me, how come the more you say it, the more unlucky you are?"

Eliard couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly interrupted: "You two, can you stop entangled in this strange place?"

"It's not that I want to be entangled..." You Bai sighed, his eyes moved to the vast galaxy outside the port, his face was a little dignified.

Eliard was a little concerned about his actions, and subconsciously asked, "What are you looking at?"

You Bai withdrew his gaze, smiled and shook his head: "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Go now?" Carl pouted and said, "Strange guy, isn't there a bathroom in the shuttle... eh? What's wrong with you, Audrey?"

April watched You Bai leave, but her expression became more and more ugly. From Carl's point of view, she seemed to be expecting something bad to happen, and she seemed a little nervous and hasty.

She was as stiff as a puppet, where was she in the mood to talk?Hitting a haha ​​to perfunctory the past, finally fell into complete silence.

After a while, You Bai came back.

Carl leaned over to You Bai, and said in a low voice, "I said, Audrey doesn't seem to be in the right condition? Her face is ugly."

You Bai knew that she was worried about what would happen later.It's inconvenient to explain this kind of words, so I shook my head and said perfunctorily: "I can't bear to miss everyone, girls are always more emotional. In short, the lieutenant and I are leaving first, everyone take care."

"Okay! Then go back early!"

"Bon Voyage."

"Three meals must be eaten on time, remember to save money! Also, don't follow strangers!"

Carl and Eliard spoke well before, but Murphy suddenly yelled out such a sentence, and April, who was in a bad mood, almost couldn't hold back: "Captain...we are not elementary school students going out for an outing..."

"Who told you to always make people worry?"

You Bai smirked: "I don't deny this."

"..."

The joking smile on Murphy's face gradually faded, replaced by a quiet smile, like an elder looking at a child who has traveled far away.

"You Bai, remember what I told you before. Believe in yourself, even if the result is not good, when you reach the end, you will definitely get what you want."

The two looked at each other, and You Bai suddenly realized something.

The captain probably guessed that he was going to leave a long time ago, otherwise he would not have said such words to encourage himself at the time.No need for more explanation, You Bai nodded with a relaxed mood.

"I'll keep it in my heart."

After waving goodbye to everyone, You Bai and April entered the shuttle, found their own seats and sat down, both of them kept silent, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first.

The sweet female voice on the radio is reminding passengers to fasten their seat belts; perhaps because of the imminent start, the children sitting nearby are a little restless, coupled with whispers coming from all directions, the entire cabin is very noisy.

But for the silent You Bai two, they can only feel a different kind of silence. The more this kind of silence spreads in their hearts, the more people can taste the bitterness of uneasiness, which is really frustrating. It's unbearable.

"Let's say something..." April lowered his head, clenched his jaw tightly, and clenched his fists, feeling even more anxious than before.

You Bai gently held her fist, helped her loosen her fingers little by little, and whispered in a low voice: "Don't worry, lieutenant, the plan will be fine."

"The guy you asked for was originally the remnant of Jean. Is this kind of person really trustworthy?"

"Trust me, my feelings are right."

April leaned his head on Youbai's shoulder, and murmured: "Don't say things that this kind of new human beings understand."

……

Three days later—

Bad news was received at the Jinping Island base.

"A shuttle departing from Jinping Island to Earth was hijacked by the Zeon remnants. Two Titans members on board were killed, and the rest of the passengers survived."

This news was like a hurricane blowing from Cape Verde to Jamaica, sweeping through the entire base immediately.Everyone knew in their hearts that the two Titans members whose names had been withheld in the news must be the two You Bai who were going back to Earth to get married.

The happy event turned into a mourning event, and the Jinping Island base was shrouded in dead silence for the whole day.

In the command room, the remaining three members of the Black Otter Squad stood by the table as if petrified.Second Lieutenant Rose's bitter cry in the corner was like a life-threatening note, which made people feel heartbroken.

Even Carl, who has always been talkative, seemed to be lost at this moment. His whole body was like a fish dying of thirst. His mouth opened and closed, and his voice could not come out of his throat. Finally, his eyes went dark and he sat down on the ground.

Murphy knew that You Bai was planning to withdraw from Titans, so seeing the news, he was still at a loss. He couldn't tell whether it was the result of You Bai's calculations or an accident encountered in the middle.

Eliard was the first to react. He slammed the table and said sharply, "Captain! Let's attack! No matter what, the remnants of Jean must be wiped out!"

"...It takes too much time to find the remnants scattered in the universe."

"Even so! We should dig the ground and dig out those bastards!"

"I--"

Just as Murphy was about to speak, there was a sound of the door opening behind him.

Major Otto walked in with a gloomy face holding a roll of materials, and said in a cold tone: "We don't have time to avenge You Bai and the others right now."

"What?" Eliard was stunned, he didn't understand, what could be more important than avenging his teammates?

Otto slapped the information in his hand on the table and took a deep breath: "A new enemy has appeared in the universe, and that is the opponent we have to deal with now."

"enemy?"

"That's right!" Otto's face turned extremely pale, "Anti-Earth Union Group, or AEUG for short. Just yesterday, this organization was announced to be established! The universe is about to be set off to war again!"

"Augu..."

Wes Murphy chewed the name and fell into a deep silence.

Chapter 67: Chasing Soldiers

In a certain corner of the universe, a modified old Zaku is on its way back.The chest is equipped with a winch unit, and the end of the twisted rope is connected to a separate arm, giving it a unique look.

Perhaps because of the hijacking of the shuttle just now, it deliberately chose a return route with a gravel belt in an attempt to avoid the federal army's pursuit.

The gravel strip is a dangerous place for most drivers. The speed of mobile suits is extremely fast. If a mistake hits a rock, there is a high probability that the machine will be destroyed and people will be killed. This kind of thing has often happened in history.

But the driver of this Zaku has a considerable degree of self-confidence. As a former Zeon Army ACE, avoiding gravel is completely the foundation of the foundation, and he even has the leisure to chat with his fellow passengers.

"Is it my illusion? I haven't seen you for a month, and you seem to be much more capable than before, Captain Zola."

"Probably because of a different mentality. If you want me to say, you are the one who has changed the most, Lieutenant You."

The person who spoke was Gabriel Zola, a Zeon officer, and You Bai, who should have died in the attack.

You Bai sat cross-legged next to the driver's seat, with a leisurely smile on his face, how could he look like he had been attacked?

The same is true.

That hijacking was originally the result of his own directing and acting, in order to get rid of Titans' surveillance.He intends to be an enemy of the Titans, so it is naturally impossible to carry a small tail everywhere.

After thinking about it, You Bai felt that feigning death was a good way to escape.So he contacted Gabriel Zola before getting on the shuttle, and asked the remnant of Jean to ambush him in advance, hijack him to leave, and then release the information about tearing up the ticket to get rid of the identity of "You Bai".

Zola glanced at this strange young man, and sighed: "...To be honest, I thought you would stay in Titans for another two months, but I didn't expect you to send me a signal so soon."

"Stay for another two months, and the day lily will be cold. The situation in the universe is changing too fast, and there is no room for delay."

You Bai shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, thanks to your help this time, Captain Zola."

It was rare to hear him express his gratitude so bluntly, and Zola smiled slightly: "It's just as a favor to you. But you really dare to think about it, pretending to be hijacked by the remnants of Jean and tearing up your ticket, so as to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Federation. One day set."

"It's nothing more than a helpless move. After all, you are a member of the test team, and you may be monitored even if you leave your job. You have to find a way to get out, right?"

"That's true."

April squeezed behind You Bai, staring blankly at him chatting and laughing with that Zeon officer named Zola, unable to get back to his senses for a while.

"Lieutenant You, are you familiar with this...well, Captain Zola?"

Zola glanced at April with a strange look, and replied with a strange expression: "I owe him a few favors."

After finishing speaking, he frowned and looked at You Bai, as if asking: Why are you taking a woman with you when you run away?

You Bai ignored this, and said in a deep voice: "After this time, the identities of Lieutenant April and I will be grayed out. Do you know where you can get fake identities?"

"It's very easy. There are too many people who died in the One Year War, just find someone missing to replace them. Many people in Jean have mixed into the Federation in this way. It shouldn't cost much. Speaking of which, did you bring any money? "

"What do you think?" You waved his hands.

"...I still have to come." Zola shook her head, "What are you going to do after you have settled your identities? Go to Earth, or join us?"

"Gene? Come on, I'm not interested."

"We've-"
