Chapter 87: Here he comes!
It actually took less than a minute to transform from the swarm of light particles into this terrifying super-large beetle monster.If the Earth Army and ZAFT had chosen to give up at the same time and leave without hesitation, this time would have been enough to last until they left the most dangerous core area.
But even in the face of unknown threats, the two sides are still immersed in the entanglement of the battle, sticking together, dragging their feet, and finally creating a critical situation where both sides are now in deep danger.
The clock is ticking.
In this sense of oppression, every second seemed to be stretched ten times longer.Excessive mental pressure caused everyone's somatosensory time to be disordered at different levels.
This psychological influence on the physical is deepening its traces every moment.
Exactly one second has passed?Five seconds passed?Or did it just pass for a full minute?
Facing this colossal monster, Aslan couldn't figure out how long it had been since its birth.
It was not as manic as it was when it was born. After discovering this pile of larger and smaller metal objects, this big guy didn't choose to immediately wave those sharp limbs that shone with cold light to turn Aslan and the others into into new rubbish in the gravel belt, but quietly examines them.
Yes, Aslan thought it was right to scrutinize the word.
He could clearly feel that the pair of deep black compound eyes contained an inorganic sense of scrutiny.
It's like a person found a bunch of ants nesting in the middle of the road blocking his way.Generally speaking, most people will choose to go straight, even if they step on and kill a few ants, they will not care much.
So what if these ants drive the robot model and the battleship model one by one?
Do you subconsciously take a few more glances?
In Aslan's view, this huge creature was in such a state at this time.
Yes, Aslan realized, maybe it was just an exception, but not all huge creatures were beasts, and they were probably sentient.
Even this intellectual height...
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The yelling that suddenly sounded in the ear interrupted Aslan's thoughts, and the hysterical fear was completely conveyed to Aslan at this end through the instrument.
But to him, this was one of the voices that Aslan least wanted to hear at this moment.
Because this familiar exclamation means——
"Wait! Nekron! Can't move now!"
Before the words finished, Aslan had already seen Gene, who was wrapped in layers of pitch-black fire, on the main display screen.
The dark black flames wrapped around Jean's body tightly, unlike the instinctive struggle of human beings when they were scorched by the flames. Except for the first two swayings, Jean in the flames soon fell into silence.
Immediately afterwards, it was only a breath interval, and the entire Jean disappeared in the flames.
If it weren't for opening the jet pack at full speed at the beginning, from turning around and trying to escape until there was no fly ash left, this Gene and its pilot might not even move more than ten meters.
"……hateful!"
After thumping the main display screen hard, Aslan lowered his head and clenched his teeth.
It all happened so fast that he couldn't even see how Nekren's Genn was ignited.
Observing and scrutinizing does not mean that they will not be killed.
For this huge hideous creature, human beings may not even have the qualifications to talk about life and death.
It was not that Aslan had not witnessed the demise of his teammates.
The wounds of the war are often painted with blood and flesh and blood, carefully depicting sorrow and hatred on his soul.
It can be seen that teammates are like this...
Dying in this...unspeakable way undoubtedly widened the scar on Aslan's chest.
Powerless.
unwilling.
hatred.
sad.
and inescapable fear.
Even when he was roaring and beating the instrument, Aslan could still feel the uncontrollable tremor in his fist.
He really realized what he was dealing with.
It's no longer about people hurting each other.
It is no longer an entanglement between the adjuster and the natural person.
It is no longer a life-and-death battle between soldiers.
This is a threat far beyond the past.
A threat from the unknown!
"what should I do now……"
he murmured.
Expecting to save one's life without moving is obviously a dream.
The other party is not doing anything now, just because it "needs".When it was no longer "needed", despite the fact that there were three frigates, three mobile suits and four mobile suits here, in terms of odds, Aslan wouldn't even see any of them.
The only difference is how quickly the entire army is wiped out.
And this "unnecessary" moment may be much earlier than he imagined.
At that time...
"...Can we just sit and wait?"
Ask yourself, but find no other answer.
Just like at that time, no matter how much he howled in front of his mother's tombstone, no matter how many tears full of pain he shed in the rain, no matter how much sweat he swayed in training to forget the pain.
On that day, when he saw his mother's clothes being gathered into a thick black wooden box and gradually disappearing under the pile of flying wet soil, the thing that gripped his heart forever became Aslan. shadow.
Whether in the dark or in the light.
Aslan never seemed to get rid of it.
Now, that thing is catching up again.
Aslan still remembered its name perfectly.
People call it, hopelessness.
So far... is it...
The fist against the display screen slowly relaxed, as if from soul to body, Aslan was losing something from his increasingly loose fingers.
The boy quietly closed his eyes.
In a daze, Aslan seemed to be able to see something galloping towards him from his dark vision——
"—Woo!"
Like a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath, the piercing radar siren shattered the silence in the cockpit.
Aslan subconsciously opened his eyes and raised his head suddenly.
——
"Captain Cruze! Now what the hell...?"
Looking at the huge creature surrounded by three Earth Army frigates and his own mobile suits on the main display screen, Addis's face was full of helpless impatience.
Just because everyone in the command room understood that it wasn't that the huge creature was surrounded, but that the huge creature blocked all the people who hadn't had time to evacuate by itself.
If it weren't for the Wesalis not joining the melee out of vigilance, everyone in the command room would be one of these unlucky ones.
But even so, it doesn't mean everything will be fine.
Addis knew very well that he and Kruse had to rescue the soldiers who were in crisis.
Or at least save Aegis GAT-X303 and its pilot, Aslan Sara.
Not only because of the importance of Aegis Gundam, but also because of Aslan himself.
The word Sarah is already one of the most important influencing factors.
However, while understanding this, both Addis and Kruse knew another thing better.
That is, with the current combat power of the Wesalis, let alone saving people, if you approach rashly, you can only follow in the footsteps of the Jean just now.
Crossing his hands, Kruse half leaned on the long table.
He is waiting.
Not only ZAFT belongs to the crisis, but also the advance team of the Earth Army.
What Kruse was waiting for was a new off-court factor, so he could take advantage of the chaos and pull out Aslan and Aegis.
Apart from that...
Just when Kruse and Addis were competing for patience, and the other was at a loss, the annoying siren of the radar raised his voice again.
This time, the young radar observer didn't hesitate any longer.
Because the things that appeared were no longer suitable for him to analyze!
"Report! A new huge thermal energy reaction suddenly appeared in the direction of 2 o'clock! And it began to accelerate! The speed is very fast—expected to be needed—no! Enter the front combat zone in five seconds!"
The hasty notification sound immediately drew everyone's attention back to the main display screen.
Among them, Kruse, who was silent, was also included.
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
