Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 66 Different Goals ([-])

In the middle of the night, the three of Siegfried changed into a strange black combat uniform. It was strange because it looked very similar to the one on Hilde.

"Detect the heartbeat, body temperature and blood pressure, activate the constant temperature function, and the phantom particle distribution is OK."

The thing is naturally the product of Hilde's transaction. As a mass-produced version, some complex functions have been canceled, but some new technologies such as phantom particles have also been added, which is very suitable for the current sneak operations.

"Mayura, Mayura, are you alright? I'm waiting for you alone, why are girls changing clothes so slowly?"

There is a difference between men and women, Mayura and the two of them naturally changed their clothes separately, but now Siegfried has already changed and even had time to finish warming up, and Mayura next door has not seen anything for a long time, so naturally he will start nagging .

"Come here"

Mayura, who came out of the compartment after a while, pulled on the battle suit a little awkwardly, and the overly tight design made her a little shy.However, Siegfried, who has always been unrelenting, is extraordinarily serious about matters between men and women. He only took a look to confirm the departure status, and then emphasized the content of the action again.

"On the first day, our task is to get close and observe. Don't make any decisions without authorization. Even if you see something unbearable, don't act without authorization. Pay attention to the timing of phantom particles. This thing is still an experimental model. A bad set is expensive to die for.”

In Hilde's information, he only introduced the possibility that the Rhodesian laboratory may involve human experiments, but Siegfried clearly knew that the place was far more than that simple, so he needed to vaccinate his teammates. , because any conscientious person may not be able to control himself wherever he goes.

"Tch, you're exaggerating, who knows if you're trying to scare me."

"Mayura, remember your identity, and don't forget what is the most important duty of a soldier?"

"obey orders."

"It's good that you know, I don't care what you think, but now the mission has begun, Siegfried is our captain, and obeying his orders unconditionally is the only thing we need to do."

"Yes, I understand."

Siegfried didn't really care about Mayura's little temper. It wasn't because he realized it later, but after all, he didn't regard her as his own, so he didn't feel obliged to teach her anything. The only requirement for this 'add head' is not to add chaos.

It's just that Regret still keeps his responsibilities in mind. It's really unexpected that such a disciplined talent like him can appear in an organization with loose military discipline like ZAFT.

After being trained, Mayura tidied up her equipment obediently, and then Siegfried opened the holographic map on her wrist. After checking the coordinates for the last time, several people came out of the trailer one by one.

Under the cover of night, the three of them did not directly activate the phantom particles that were limited in use time, but only relied on the optical camouflage of the combat uniforms to lurk to the edge of the Rhodesian Institute.

"The defense here seems to be inconsistent with its importance?"

Regret was the first to discover the problem. He had read the combat instructions beforehand, and knew how important this place was to the future mobile suit plan of the Atlantic Ocean and the Eurasian Union. He was surprised to find that the outer defenses were so loose.

"There are two reasons. One is that it claims to be an ordinary research institute, and rashly increasing the perimeter security will cause unnecessary trouble. The second is that I suspect that they have arranged the limited guard force inside the research institute."

"Inside? Is there anything else that needs to be guarded in the institute?"

"If my guess is correct, there are far more threats inside than outside."

Hilde can't do whatever the real Doraemon wants, and the information she has obtained is already the limit of what can be done with the power of Orb's national-level intelligence agency.And Siegfried's judgment is also based on the fact that in his memory, this institute will contribute three humanoid monsters in the near future.And two years later, the trio, who are also subsidiary products here, even determined the direction of history to a certain extent.

"Let's go, activate the phantom particles after bypassing the monitor at the door, collect intelligence within the standard time and then retreat without causing a commotion."

The tactical mask was buckled backhanded, and as the phantom particles spread, the figures of the three of Siegfried gradually merged into the darkness, and then sneaked into the interior of the research institute smoothly in a blur of light and shadow that could not be detected by the naked eye.

In fact, just as Siegfried expected, the entire Rhodes Institute seems to have arranged all the security forces for internal defense.From the moment they entered the door, if it wasn't for the help of phantom particles, they wouldn't even be able to pass through the first door and they would be discovered.

As the trio continued to go deeper into the institute, everything the coalition forces did here was gradually revealed to Regret and Mayura, who were unprepared.

No matter which name is used to call the enhanced person, the three little strong, or the biological CPU, the future record of the trio in Siegfried's memory is based on a large number of human experiments.And all of this is the result of the alliance taking the lives of countless children behind the scenes in order to make up for the gap in MS driving skills between natural people and adjusted people.

In Siegfried's already vague memory, he vaguely remembered that the future Minerva seemed to have been here, but because of the long time and the need to consider the audience, he didn't remember what he had seen after many years. I felt uncomfortable in the scene, but I roughly remembered whether it was Lei or Asuka who vomited in it on the spot.

He used to wishful thinking that Asuka’s mentality was too fragile or that Lei Tian was born with flaws, but he didn’t know until he personally led a team to dive into the Rhodes Institute, which was not in an abandoned state, but even in its heyday. What Minerva saw two years later was a bunch of pediatrics.

(The following content cannot be described in detail because I am afraid that the book will be gone)
Before departure, he was still reminding Mayura not to be impulsive, and he had consciously prepared himself mentally when taking over the task, but when a group of children younger than him appeared in various containers, or were holding cold weapons, When fighting each other, Siegfried felt that his bottom line as a "human being" had been seriously challenged.

As the phantom particles were used more than half of the time, the three had to stop their progress. In fact, even if there was still time, they could only stop here.The laboratory in front was equipped with more advanced detection devices, even though the combat suits had already covered up their body temperature, but reason told Siegfried that it was indeed impossible to go any further.

After alternately withdrawing from the research institute and continuing to stay away from the warning range, Mayura, who took off her mask, was the first to be unable to restrain her physical reaction, knelt on the ground and began to vomit.

And Siegfried's face was also pale. Although Regret was better, the improvement was limited.After all, the three of them are MS pilots, and the battlefield they see while sitting in the MS will always deviate from the reality to a certain extent.

Just like what Siegfried comforted himself at the beginning, in MS, the so-called killing is to press a button, and then watch a fire erupt on the opposite side. There is no scream or blood in the whole process. Although it is also killing, it can be deceived. Live yourself.

And everything in the institute is to cut open the most cruel and bloody side of the world and put it in front of them, not to mention Mayura and Siegfried, even Regret, who has already served and suppressed in North Africa , Thanks to the tiger's gentle approach, he has never experienced close-range killings like other ZAFT ground troops.

After Mayura almost vomited bile, Siegfried rubbed his face vigorously, and then said to the two of them in a voice that gritted his teeth, "Things from hell should go back to hell, shouldn't they?"

At the same time, at the mansion of Klein, the capital of spring, as Kira recovered day by day, he also learned that Hilde sent him here. Under the comfort of her, Kira gradually accepted the reality in front of her.

"Are you sure Siegfried is not dead?"

"I saved it, I'm sure."

For Kira, the first thing he did when he woke up and saw Hilde was to ask for proof of Siegfried's life and death. After getting a definite answer, he seemed to have truly come alive.

But the situation in the entire Klein mansion did not get better with Kira's awakening. With the announcement of the final goal of the Spit Break operation as Alaska, Siegel knew that he was completely put together by his old friends.Correspondingly, it seems to be to verify Hilde's statement, not only Siegel himself, but now even Lacus will be followed by someone in the name of protection when she goes out.

As part of the deal, Hilde assumed the role of Lux's personal bodyguard, although in her own words, her genetic adjustment did not focus on physical combat.But after being double confirmed as Siegfried's sister by Mentor Marchio and Kira, Lacus insisted on taking Hilde by her side.

As Kira got the news that Alaska was selected as the target of the attack, she shed tears for a while, even though it was still the goddess Lacus Klein who appeared in front of everyone.But when she was alone with Hilde, Lux no longer hid her anxiety.

"Have you figured it out yet? There are more dark whistles today."

"Kira he understands what he needs to fight so he needs help."

"The environment is already very bad."

"That means it won't get any worse, doesn't it?"

"You will die, or your father, will die."

Maybe it was Hilde's question that touched the softness in Lax's heart, but she would not hide her weakness by shouting like Cagalli. Facing the indifferent tone, Lax showed her gentle smile, and at the same time Asked in the calmest tone.

"Is my deal with you still valid? Hilde."

"I'll protect you until I get what I want."

"Then, I will leave it to you in the days to come, my Miss Bodyguard."

"There is only a deal between you and me."

"Then tell me, what is it that you must fight, Miss Heard."

"Uninteresting question."

"Then, can you tell me, for Siegfried, does he like to kill people from the bottom of his heart? Sister Hilde!"

Responding to Lacus was Hilde's back suddenly turning away, ostrich-like silence, the weakness that human beings are best at.

　At the end, Lacus asked three times and called Bian three times, Hilde couldn't stand it at all, and the nature of the weakness of the siblings was clearly seen.
