After that battle, the Alliance seemed to have forgotten Orb. However, the military industrial companies and technology development companies controlled by Logos began to devote all their efforts to the development of new equipment, more powerful MS, more powerful weapons, and more powerful biomass. Physical CPUs are within the scope of their research and development. Now that they can't attack Orb, but they can't ignore Orb, the alliance can only enhance their own combat capabilities as much as possible, thus obtaining a more advanced combat power. Then he took down Orb, the most uncertain factor on earth, in one fell swoop.
However, although Orb is temporarily ignored, United also knows that Orb today also does not have the power to attack United except for defense, so it is relatively easy to deal with the current larger enemy, zaft, with all its strength. They even planned an attack on the Gibraltar base of the Zaft Army and an attack on the Minerva.
The day after the battle, Aslan said goodbye to Xiao Ran without waiting for the situation in Orb to truly stabilize. After exchanging the black Savior Gundam x11, Aslan drove his red Savior Gundam to Gibraltar. Base, Aslan left without encountering any obstacles when heading to the Gibraltar base. He easily arrived at Gibraltar and then joined the Minerva.
Just like in the original plot, when Aslan came down from the Savior Gundam, the people on the Minerva saw that the MS pilot newly equipped on the Minerva turned out to be Aslan, and he still had an independent character. When the authority came to faith, everyone on the ship was shocked, but Zhen Feiniao just looked at this person who originally belonged to Orb, but now joined Zaft in great amazement.
Zhen Asuka also hurried back when he saw the Savior Gundam entering the Minerva when he was shopping outside. Although Zhen Asuka didn't know why Aslan appeared here, he also felt a feeling in his heart. The feeling of being connected with the same fate, no matter what kind of person Aslan was before, at least in Zhen Asuka's understanding, Aslan is Orb's person, and he is also Orb's person, but now they have all come to Zaft , came to Minerva.
At first, Zhen Asuka didn't notice the faith badge on Aslan's chest. Although he was wearing red clothes, his collar was open. He was holding a plastic bag filled with things and looked at Aslan in surprise. Lan asked: "Why are you here and joined Zaft? Are you tired of the princess who doesn't understand anything?"
Fortunately, Zhen Asuka knew his identity and didn't say a single word, making the sentence become "Why are you here too?" Otherwise, the people next to him would definitely look at him, causing unnecessary suspicion.
Aslan was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhen Asuka's words, but Lunamaria, who was standing next to Zhen Asuka, quickly pulled Zhen Asuka and whispered: "Zhen, what are you talking about? He is faith."
"Uh?" It wasn't until Lunamaria reminded him that Zhen Asuka noticed the badge on the chest of Aslan's driving suit. In shock, he quickly stuffed the plastic bag in Lunamaria's hand and quickly buttoned the collar. button, and saluted Aslan with a military salute: "Sir."
Aslan did not rise up because of Zhen Asuka's rudeness just now. He nodded slightly towards Zhen Asuka, and then said: "Can someone take me to the captain's room? I want to report to Captain Thalia." .”
Zhen Asuka was just about to say that he was taking Aslan, but unexpectedly Lunamaria stuffed the bag in her hand back into Zhen Aslan, grabbed Aslan's arm and walked out: " I’ll take you there.”
Facing Lunamaria's Jiraiya, Aslan also nodded blankly, and was taken by Lunamaria's hand to leave the crowd, while Zhen Asuka watched the two people leave blankly, and then became annoyed. He patted his head, and then his full attention was attracted by the red Savior Gundam.
A few hours later, Aslan reported to Captain Thalia and officially settled in the Minerva. The unfamiliar environment and previous encounters with Cagalli and Kira made him feel extremely lonely. After wandering around on the Neva, I walked out of the ship and went to the observation deck, lying on the railing in a daze.
And Zhen Asuka didn't know why he ran to the observation deck. Maybe he came just to look for Aslan. After seeing Aslan's figure, he quickly ran to Aslan's side, and his hurried steps also Aslan also noticed that before Zhen Feiniao could speak, he turned to look at him and smiled at him.
"I know you, Zhen Feiniao, were not sure at first. After all, it was two years ago. At that time, I thought you should have seen me. At that time, I remembered that you were with your family. Why, you guys The whole family immigrated to PNT, why did they leave Orb and join Zaft?"
Zhen Asuka was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly showed a hint of panic as he looked around, but fortunately there was no one else in the entire observation deck except the two of them, so no one knew about the conversation between the two.
After seeing that there was no one around, Zhen Feiniao approached Aslan with a dissatisfied and frightened expression on his face and said: "What's the matter with you? How could you talk nonsense about this kind of thing? It's so hard that that guy didn't tell When you come here, do you have to be careful not to expose the news that my family is still alive?"
Zhen Feiniao's words immediately made Aslan's eyes widen. He opened his mouth and seemed to have stopped breathing for a moment. Then he frowned and smiled bitterly: "What's going on? Could it be that the adult arranged to come here to lurk?" At zaft, right?"
The sluggish man turned into a real flying bird following Aslan's words. The stiff expression was full of shock and panic, and his throat did not move. It was not until a long time passed that he uttered three words: "You No?"
"Ha..." Aslan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Hey, a lurker like you is really unqualified. How can you expose yourself without confirming the identity of the other party? If I am really myself. I chose to leave Orb and join Zaft, and then lied to you and told Captain Thalia about you. Do you know what the consequences will be for you in the end?"
"No... No way... Are you really not that guy who sent me to help me?" Zhen Feiniao suddenly started to cry and looked at Aslan in panic. He was really worried that Aslan would tell his situation. His eyes were looking around from time to time, his fists were clenched tightly, and it seemed that he was ready to escape at any time.
To be honest, Asuka's fighting ability is not much better than Aslan. Both of them graduated from Zaft Military Academy with the first place in combat, so if they really fight, they can be considered evenly matched.
After Aslan saw Zhen Asuka's actions, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said quickly: "Don't worry, I won't tell your story. Although I am a zaft now, Orb is the same to me. It is important and has special meaning. I joined Zaft just to find some answers, and the adult who arranged for you to come here should have some ideas. "
"The Lord also knew that I would come to the Minerva. I also participated in the previous battle of the United Army against Orb, and I participated after joining Zaft. In the end, there is no difference between you and me. Since He can rest assured and let me leave Orb and come here without telling me anything. It is also a kind of trust in me. He believes that I will not leak your information even after knowing it."
"If you don't believe it, you can confirm it with the adult yourself."
"Really?" Although Zhen Feiniao was relieved after hearing Aslan's words, he still looked a little skeptical.
Aslan nodded affirmatively: "Of course, I can go with you to confirm with that adult."
In fact, even Xiao Ran didn't expect that Zhen Feiniao would be so clumsy. Without really confirming Aslan's identity, he took the initiative to expose his identity in just a few words, and Xiao Ran didn't specifically tell Aslan. This is also the reason for Lan's matter about Zhen Asuka, and he also believes that even if Aslan discovers something from it, he will never expose it without meddling. Instead, he will try his best to help Zhen Asuka cover it up within his ability. .
Although Aslan said those words, Zhen Asuka, who obviously knew that he had indeed made a big mistake, did not believe it like a fool. Instead, he dragged Aslan away from the Minerva and stayed in Gibraltar. Luo Ji began to think of ways to contact Orb. Of course, it is definitely not possible to use the base's communication facilities in the base, but as a faith and a red shirt, they naturally have their own methods.
Anyway, under the current situation, Orb and PNT have not severed contact. It is not difficult to contact Orb if you want to.
In the evening, Zhen and Aslan also returned to the Minerva. The message was sent to Orb, but there was no telling how long it would take to receive a reply from Orb. Aslan reported The letter method was an urgent special code that he knew when he served as Cagalli's guard in Orb, which could ensure that this message would be seen by Xiao Ran as soon as possible.
While waiting like this, Aslan could also understand the thoughts in Zhen Feiniao's heart, so he also took the initiative to get closer to Zhen Feiniao. But gradually Aslan discovered that Zhen Feiniao was in many cases. Nervous, but the person who really pays attention to him is not just Zhen Feiniao. The person who has the best relationship with Zhen Feiniao, and who is also the most unlikely person for Aslan, actually pays attention to him when Zhen Feiniao is not around. every move. (.)
