CC has been restless these days, exuding an unhappy air all over her body, and even Mayu didn't dare to talk to her.
Since a few days ago, Ed's phone has been completely blocked, and his emails have not been returned. She knew that Ed had a habit of surfing the Anaheim forums every day and handling emails along the way. In his words, "If you don't study for a day, you will feel uncomfortable." For this kind of abnormality, either he was fooling around with some woman, or something happened to him. But if Uruki, who was with him, couldn't get in touch, it was undoubtedly the latter.
On the night she lost contact, she directly reported "Dr. Lingos is missing, life and death unknown" to Anaheim executives through her previous relationship. It stands to reason that Roland or Diana should handle an incident of this magnitude in person. But after that, the moon did not give her any feedback, and she could only wait for news irritably every day.
The last time Ed's name appeared in the media was on the 14th to participate in a blood-stained Valentine's Day commemoration, but there was no trace of this event.
"Miss CC, big news, big news!" Mayu suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Hurry up and read the headlines! It's Mr. Ed's business!"
CC quickly took out her mobile phone and opened the news. On the home page was the big Roland's avatar. She clicked on it, and there was a short video at the top. She took a deep breath and pressed the play button.
"I, Roland Sayak, issued an ultimatum to the Earth Federation on behalf of the Moon Government." Roland's handsome face in the video was full of suffocation, "Please stay sensible and safely hand over Dr. Adrian Lingus to the Earth as soon as possible. Our side, do not continue to test our patience, or we will not be able to guarantee that we will not take drastic action."
The video is very short, and it ends in less than half a minute, but the amount of information is so large that CC is full of question marks, what is this all about? Why did Ed suddenly change from being in PLANT to being in federal custody? This has been detained for a few days, so that now Roland has personally threatened to hand over someone? And where did the Earth Federation come from people who have the guts to buckle the moon? But fortunately, one thing is certain, he is safe, CC does not believe that the people of the Earth Federation really dare to fight against Roland.
She searched for relevant information again, but it was all unreliable speculation and no useful information.
"Really Asuka asks to return." This is Asuka who has finished walking Gundam, but today's voice is very serious, "Miss CC, please ask the staff in the infirmary to prepare, I found Mr. Pumu at sea, and he is very dehydrated. ."
An hour later, everyone left the infirmary. Although Pumu is not life-threatening, he is still in a coma. Long-term exposure to the sun and insufficient hydration have led to skin burns and severe dehydration. The bird may not be so lucky to find him two days later.
"...the two were attacked, Urumgi was shot down, Ed was picked up by the federation and detained, it should be like this. As for who the attacker is, we can only ask him after Urumki regains consciousness." CC Xiang Asuka Say your own speculation, "You don't have to worry too much. With Prince Roland personally coming out to protect someone, it would be difficult for him to die."
"Death? Death?" The girl behind Asuka suddenly widened her eyes, showing a look of horror, "Don't... I don't want to die...!"
Asuka hugged the girl gently, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her head: "Don't be afraid, it's alright, Stella won't die. I will protect you, so don't be afraid."
"Really...protect..." Stella was obviously relaxed, and hugged Asuka in an attachment, "Really!"
"Miss CC, you did it on purpose." Asuka looked at CC dissatisfied, "Don't irritate her anymore, Stella is very pitiful."
"Aren't I helping you?" CC turned and left with a blank expression, leaving only his voice and back. "It's best that Ed come back and demonstrate to him, so that he can recognize the gap between people."
"Mayo, what's wrong with Miss CC?" She looked at the direction CC left, "Mr. Adrian, shouldn't you be happy when you found it?"
"Brother...why are you so skilled!" Then Mayu also pushed the wheelchair away.
Really looked at it blankly for a while, then took Stella's hand and walked outside: "Forget it, let's go out to play?"
Today, the ship needs to replenish some resources, and it is rare to stop at the port of Orb. I really took Stella to the pier for a walk. Of course, I have also asked CC why we have a dedicated wharf, why our ships can park anywhere near the sea, and why we, as cargo ships, can drive in and out of high-speed ships, etc. The answer he got made him very sad: "Because we have money. ."
This pier was contracted by them, and there were no other people waiting. Stella was happily jumping on the coast, standing not far away with a smile and looking at her.
The girl in front of her couldn't remember anything except her name. When she was just picked up, Miss CC kept her under quarantine for two days, during which she was really taking care of her. Maybe it's because the first person I see when I open my eyes is Feizhen, and Stella is also very close to him.
Stella is usually well behaved and not very talkative, and she was very honest during her imprisonment. Now even if I have regained a certain degree of freedom, when I am not there, I will be alone in a daze or sing, and when I am there, I will stick to it. As long as you don't deliberately say keywords, it is completely harmless to humans and animals. Even if the mind goes out of control, Zhen can handle it as easily as before. Therefore, CC allowed Stella to move freely under the supervision of him under the repeated assurances.
And he probably knew Stella's identity. He had seen in the girl's medical report that there were a lot of hormonal drug residues in her body, and memory loss was most likely the sequelae of overuse of some dangerous drug. When Mr. Adrian gave him an analysis of the primary and secondary contradictions between natural persons and regulators, he mentioned the relevant research on natural persons. Compared with the situation in front of him, Stella's identity is ready to be revealed.
But since he had already promised to protect Stella, he must do it. It is impossible to hand it over, and Aub's Jianghu Langzhong is obviously not credible, but as long as it is brought back to the moon, the all-powerful Lunar Capital First General Hospital will definitely have a solution. Miss CC said before that feral cats can't be picked up, he understands, because it will be very painful to throw them away. But he's not like Stella, he won't lose it.
"Really! Really!" Stella smiled and waved at him, and Zhen also waved back to her.
Stella's vocabulary is very poor, and she probably didn't have the opportunity to receive a good education. The way to express her emotions is to call his name. Every time I think about this, it really hurts. Before going out for a walk with Gundam today, he went to Aub to buy some storybooks and planned to read them to Stella later. He had done this to Mayo before, and he was very familiar with it.
Just when he was distracted, there was a loud explosion-like noise not far away, and the ground beneath his feet shook slightly. He woke up suddenly and looked at Stella reflexively, and the girl lost her balance and fell into the water in front of his eyes.
"Stella!"
She really flew to the shore, the girl couldn't swim, she was at a loss in the water and struggled very hard. Although it was a deep water area, it was fortunate that it was right next to the pier, and Shin grabbed Stella's hand and pulled her out of the water. The frightened Stella threw herself wetly into his arms and shivered.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'll protect you." He gently patted the girl on the back, calming Stella. Then, when he raised his head to look in the direction of the explosion, the dense mass of MSs in the sky shocked him, "... liar, right?"
No time to think about it, he picked up Stella by the waist and ran towards the boat. After putting Stella back in the room, he came to the bridge at the fastest speed: "Miss CC, the sky outside is full of Zaku!"
"I see, so things about Ed and Uruki make sense." CC looked at him seriously, "This place will become a battlefield at any time, and we must set off immediately. Asuka, please."
"It goes without saying that I came here because I was worried about this situation! Mayu, Stella, Miss CC, everyone on board, I will definitely protect everyone!"
Fortunately, the F91 just replaced the battery, and really drove the Gundam to the outside of the ship quickly. He let F91 stand on the boat to save the power consumed by the Minovsky flotation system. He is the only one here. I don't know how long it will take, and there may not be time to go back and change the battery later.
The sky is full of Zagu falling like raindrops. Is this the ZAFT army attacking? Why fight Orb again? Or the despicable means of undeclared war, Aube was caught off guard for a while, and he has not seen any decent resistance until now. It is conceivable that many warehouse barracks must have been blown up before they could function.
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon under his feet finally began to accelerate slowly, but at this time, ZAFT's MS finally began to enter the dock area. Part of the Zaku II began to bomb the warehouses on the dock indiscriminately, and a Zaku III began to approach.
"This is a civilian ship, I have no intention of participating in your war, please don't open fire!" Zhen shouted to Zaku, who was getting closer, through the public channel, "I repeat, this is a civilian ship, please don't open fire!"
No one responded, I don't know if the public frequency communication was turned off or not on purpose, but this Zaku III has raised its beam rifle and aimed at this side.
Wait, the target isn't me? The full-open thruster rushed to the shooting route at a high speed, and at the critical moment, the beam shield was opened to block the shot that was fired at the hull.
"Why do you want to shoot? It's said that it is a civilian ship!" Zhen roared at the public channel, "You and Aub can go and fight, we just want to leave!"
"Little brother, do you think I'm blind?" The pilot of Zaku III finally said, "That ship was obviously modified from a battleship, right? That's how wars are, so if you want to blame yourself, you have to blame yourself for your bad luck."
Again, again, again! Bad luck, that's all! Mom and Dad died, Mayo lost her legs, Stella went through such a tragic life, Mr. Adrian was in danger, and Mr. Urumki was unconscious, all because of our own bad luck!
"Uncle, are you blind?" Zhen said in a cold voice that he had never heard before, "My MS is obviously a Gundam type, right? That's how wars are, you can blame yourself for your bad luck."
