Chapter 302 The War of Two People
The sea breeze was blowing, the blue waves were rolling, and the seagulls were crowing constantly, but the harmonious natural beauty was broken by a modern fighter plane.
Sitting in the cockpit, Cagalli slowly woke up from her coma.
"I...am still alive?"
After groping up and down her body and finding no scars, Cagalli immediately tried to contact the Archangel, but not to mention the strong interference around her. All of Overlord's skills have stopped, and it is difficult to even turn on the power.
"This is Cagalli, please call Archangel... Archangel..."
Knowing that she could not ask for help from Archangel, Cagalli did not despair of feeling sorry for herself. She was someone who couldn't rest. He stayed in the cockpit and prayed that his companions could find him. It was better to leave and explore the island. Maybe he could find people and ask them to help him get out of danger.
Unexpectedly, the start was unlucky. Although Cagalli was a girl, she did not have the delicate thoughts of a girl. After leaving the cockpit, a wave came and washed away the emergency backpack.
"Ah..." Seeing the backpack drifting away, Cagalli couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. By the time she realized it, it was impossible to find it again, so she could only curse "Damn" secretly. , he swam towards the shore angrily and explored the uninhabited island alone.
"This island is really small." It only took more than half an hour for Cagalli to walk through the woods and reach the other end of the island.
Looking at the coastline that appeared in front of her again, Cagalli felt happy but depressed at the same time. Fortunately, the island was not big and could be explored quickly, and there were generally no dangerous creatures on such a small uninhabited island. ; What’s depressing is that there is probably no one on this island to help me. After all, this island is only so big. If there are other people on the island, the process of my crash can be seen, and I should be able to find him. Someone else.
Unexpectedly, Cagalli was looking around and saw the Aegis Gundam parked nearby, and Aslan, who was carrying a backpack and looking for a temporary camp.
"ZAFT soldier!" Without thinking carefully, Cagalli drew her gun and fired.
Aslan, a top student who graduated from the Military Academy and one of the few elites, heard a slight "click" sound when he looked around. He was sure that it was the sound of the gun bolt being pulled.
Looking back suddenly, he saw the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at him, and it was too late to dodge.
"Bang~!"
The sound of gunshots echoed on the island, and countless birds fled in fright.
Fortunately, Cagalli had never received professional training, and her marksmanship was poor. In addition, she fired hastily after being discovered, and the bullet only grazed Aslan's arm.
But Aslan did not dare to stay. He threw away the bag in his hand and hid behind the rocks in two steps.
“Bang bang bang…”
"Don't move!"
Fired several times, but all missed. Cagalli slowly approached Aslan's hiding place, and both of them were very nervous.
"A soldier of the Earth Army? Could it be the pilot of the fighter plane just now?" Seeing his gun and bag falling together, Aslan suppressed the tension in his heart and pulled out the gun tied to his leg. He held the dagger in his hand and slowly approached himself while listening to the subtle footsteps.
Perhaps due to inexperience or excessive nervousness, Cagalli came to the dropped pistol and kicked it away. As a result, the moment she diverted her attention, Aslan moved.
Aslan calculated the distance between the two, and was unable to reach the other party before the other party turned back his gaze, so he simply turned over and jumped towards the other side of the rock.
Upon seeing this, Cagalli immediately fired, but without exception, everything failed again. After several turns, Aslan disappeared. Cagalli did something stupid again. She looked away again and picked up the gun. He picked up the dropped pistol and looked at it in trance.
At this moment, Aslan, who was lurking behind the bunker, seized the opportunity, kicked off the ground, dived down, and when Cagalli turned around, he kicked away the pistol aimed at him. .
Cagalli took two steps back, intending to aim another pistol at Aslan, but he grabbed her wrist, twisted and pushed her, and she flew out and fell. On the ground, before she could get up, Aslan was riding on her, pressing her hands down with his knees, grabbing her collar with one hand, and the shining blade breathed out the coldness of death.
“Ah~!!!”
Seeing that she was going to die, Cagalli not only did not lose the ability to think like others, but instead let out a clear but piercing scream, Countless birds flew away, and even the holy shield that was not activated on the side had its eyes glowing green.
After screaming, Cagalli closed her eyes and waited for death, but did not wait for the pain and coldness of the dagger entering her body. She shook her eyelids tremblingly and turned her head to look at Aslan.
Aslan was also frightened by Cagalli's scream, but her voice and the softness of her left hand made him no longer think of killing Cagalli.
“Female?”
“Woo…Woo…Woo…” Cagalli glared at Aslan with tears in her eyes, “You…don’t go too far. ! "How should I put it... This evil person complained first, very Cagalli.
"Ha?"
After questioning, Aslan was a little dumbfounded. What is this? You are allowed to kill me, but I am not allowed to kill you?
Although he thought so, Aslan still put away the knife, but he did not foolishly think that Cagalli was no longer a threat, so he cut Cagalli's hands behind her back and tied them up. , and also tied the ankles of both feet, split Cagalli's pistol into parts, and threw them all into the sea.
"Are you really a soldier of the Earth Army? I haven't seen you wearing a military card." Aslan asked Cagalli while treating the wound. While tying him up, he simply searched for the card. Carrie's body did not find the military badges worn by soldiers.
Cagalli didn't answer silently. She didn't want to communicate with the enemy. She was determined to be a "dead person" and would never give the enemy any chance to gather information. But the next second, she broke through the defense.
"I've never heard that kind of scream on the battlefield," Aslan joked.
On the battlefield, screams must have appeared, but they were more of fear and despair of death, but Cagalli's scream...how to say, if anyone else hears it , will definitely suspect that Aslan is a wretched SP who plans to do evil things to young girls.
"Well...I'm really sorry about that." Cagalli also blushed for her gaffe. She claimed to be someone who had participated in the battle, but who knew that in the face of the crisis of death, her true colors were revealed.
“You were the one who shot down our transport plane, right? I saw the aircraft body on the beach opposite.”
“It was obviously you who shot me down!”
"...Which army are you from? Why are you flying alone there?" Aslan found out and couldn't reason with Cagalli, so he wisely chose to go straight in.
"I'm not a soldier, where did the army come from? Who would want to come to such a ghost place...ah!"
Everyone knows a truth, when a person makes up his mind, compromise There are only two results with making exceptions: zero times and countless times. No, Cagalli started to vomit everything out.
Perhaps her ugliness was seen, and she was not convinced because of her arrogance. She struggled to stand up even though her hands and feet were restrained, but in the end...
She was lying down and was fine. , now face down, squirming on the sand in a posture of utter shame.
"Hmm." Aslan thought for a while and felt that Cagalli was no longer a threat. She was tied up like this anyway, so he might as well leave her here and send a rescue signal first, and then find a temporary camp. Decide what to do with Cagalli.
"Are you... one of the members who attacked [Heliopolis] before?" Just as Aslan stood up to leave, Cagalli stopped Aslan.
"Huh?" Aslan turned around after hearing this, looked at Cagalli, and frowned slightly. The [Heliopolis] collapse incident has been spread, but ordinary people don't know the specific details. content, let alone [Plan G] which is classified as a confidential matter.
Ordinary soldiers don’t know the details. Cagalli is not a soldier of the Earth Army, so how did she know?
“I was there too, in the [Heliopolis] you destroyed!”
For a moment, Aslan didn't know what to say. He felt guilty about the collapse of Heliopolis, but as a soldier, it was necessary to carry out orders.
Without defending himself, Aslan turned and returned to the Holy Shield Gundam, ignoring Cagalli's questions and struggles. It was crucial now to get in touch with friendly forces as soon as possible.
But what made Aslan helpless was that he tried all the channels but could not get in touch with the friendly forces. He did not dare to use the public channels. Cagalli was also here. Although she said that she was not A soldier has no troops, but the machine is indeed that of the Earth Army, which means there is probably an Earth Army nearby searching for her. Once the Earth Army is attracted, he will be really in danger.
"Boom~"
There was a thunder explosion, and suddenly dark clouds gathered and heavy rain poured down. Aslan had no choice but to send a distress signal beacon to the sea. .
Thinking of the rain, Aslan couldn't ignore Cagalli. The cockpit was too small and couldn't accommodate two people. In desperation, he had no choice but to get off the plane and look for a temporary camp to take shelter from the rain. But wherever he looked, he saw A scene that left him speechless.
Cagalli is still very perseverant. She never gave up when she got tired of struggling. She was like a caterpillar, desperately crawling in the direction of the Aegis Gundam. Unfortunately, the Aegis Gundam The position of Cagalli was up and down. She moved along the rocks little by little. As a result, she shivered because of the sudden thunder. Her body immediately lost her balance and rolled down again. By coincidence, she also fell into the water. .
Cagalli struggled to get up, but the rope around her wrist got stuck in the cracks of the rocks. She had no choice but to lie in the water, letting the rain tilt, the sea water soak, and the waves beat.
Cagalli stared blankly at the dark sky, helplessness and frustration welling up in her heart, thinking... should she give up, or... was she really too willful?
At this moment, the cold touch of raindrops and skin disappeared. When she came back to her senses, a shadow enveloped her, and the shield of the Holy Shield lay across the air to protect Cagalli from the rain.
