Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 725 Unwilling
In the port of Genesis α, Gulveig was carrying out the final supply work. Due to the shortage of manpower, Compass was unable to complete the supply operation in the first wave of attacks. This also forced Orphie and others to attack from inside the fortress. It was precisely because of the absence of the battleship that they were almost successfully stolen by Bakilulu.

"Strike Freedom still refuses to return to the Fortress?"

"No, the driver seems to have a strong resistance to this matter."

Inside the fortress, Orfe was looking at the figure on the screen with an unhappy expression.

In fact, due to Frey's refusal to cooperate and the presence of Lux, Luo Pan's repeated attempts to hypnotize Kira in Berlin did not achieve the desired effect.

In the end, it was Lao who decisively changed his strategy, changing forced hypnosis to psychological suggestion. Finally, he waited until Frey died and Lacus ran away, then he seized the opportunity to destroy Kira's heart in one fell swoop.

But at this juncture, Orfe discovered that Kira seemed to be out of control. According to their original plan, Strike Freedom should be completely on the side of Compass. After all, the conditions they offered also included the demand for the legal identity of the copy man. Coupled with the copy man in the Minerva petri dish, Orfe thought he had easily controlled the nominal Kira Yamato, but he didn't expect things to go wrong.

"Increase the hypnosis intensity for me, you are just a low-ranking species."

Just as Orphie was giving the order with a fierce look on his face, Lao, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke up and interrupted his decision.

"I don't recommend that. The war is imminent. The presence of Athrun and Lacus will inevitably have an impact on Kira's heart. And until now we haven't found any trace of Siegfried. Once Kira loses control and Siegfried appears on the battlefield again, it will be a complete loss."

"That damn guy hasn't appeared in our sight since Rio. Could he be dead?"

"Do you want to bet? I don't bet anyway."

After killing the game with one sentence, Lao returned to his previous silent attitude. Siegfried's name was like a shadow hanging over Luo Pan's head, making everyone feel depressed. What's worse is that no one can tell whether the People's Revolutionary League is hiding a card or if there is indeed something wrong with Siegfried.

According to the information Liu Shenqiang sent back before his death, it has been confirmed that Siegfried was the one piloting the runaway golden plane in the Rio Light incident, and the embarrassed look of Celestial Being during the interception did not look like an act at all. But as Lao asked in return, who would dare to bet on this unknown possibility? Even Tria, the copy man who hated Siegfried the most, did not dare to make such a boast.

The meeting was hastily concluded in this suffocating atmosphere. At present, Genesis has begun to move towards the earth. No one thinks that the People's Revolutionary League will just accept its fate, so in the last twelve hours, the other party will definitely use its strongest force to stop the fall. What they have to do is to ensure that Genesis falls successfully. Only in this way can this minority group see a glimmer of possibility of winning big with a small investment.

In the aisle, as expected, Lao was called down by Tria. Looking at the bottle of medicine thrown to him by the other party, Lao took it calmly and still chose not to speak actively.

"A drug that strengthens neural reflexes and spatial cognition. It also speeds up cell regeneration so that it can adapt to higher G-forces."

"Do I need it?"

"I failed to take down your cheap son twice. I think you need it."

The eyes of both parties seemed to collide at this moment, and Tria vaguely sensed that the other party's aura had changed, but then Lao stuffed the potion into his pocket as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you for your reminder." However, just as he was about to leave again, Tria put his hand on his shoulder. This time, Lao no longer concealed his impatience, and turned around to push away the hand.

"I mean, it's best to drink it now."

The murderous intent that could not be concealed emanated from Lao's body, but Tria held his shoulders firmly as if nothing had happened. After a moment, Lao simply opened the potion and drank it all, then looked at the photocopied man with a mocking look.

"I forgot to remind you that the potion has some side effects, but it's not a big problem. Orphie has already taken it. Just come back in time to ask Queen Aura for the antidote. Of course, if you can't come back, then it's hard to say."

After saying that, Tria also let go of his hand. It was not until the moment when he turned around that a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lao's mouth, because in the very brief eye contact just now, he saw a familiar look in the other's eyes, which was similar to the look in Patrick and Durandal, full of unwillingness to his own fate.

Lao had seen too many geniuses with such eyes in his life: Patrick, who was unwilling to see his wife die an unnatural death, Jill, who was unwilling to see his research results buried, Azleru, who was unwilling to be ridden on by the Adjuster, Al da Frada, who was unwilling to see that he was rich but could not prolong his life, and Lao Lu Cruze, who was unwilling to see that he was just a clone.

I don't know if it was a destined coincidence, but in this fortress with the same name as Genesis four years ago, Tria's performance once again reminded Lao of the figure of Patrick Sarah. The figure who ordered Genesis to bombard the earth gradually merged with Tria's back today. And based on the previous record of being able to tie with Aslan, Lao could guess that this so-called strengthening potion might just be Tria's daily need.

"What a wonderful fate."

On the Minerva, due to the same shortage of manpower, Luo and Heinlein were successfully saved by Lao using the method of replacing the prince with a cat. Almost all the manpower in the huge battleship was concentrated in the bridge and the hangar, so the two of them even made their way all the way to the core area of ​​the battleship without being discovered.

"Connect the B12 line and test the central response module."

"immediately."

After a moment, Luo couldn't help but knock his left palm hard with his right fist as he watched the system successfully run on the screen. "The temporary operating system has been built. As soon as the MS battle starts, we can drive this ship away quietly. Whether we go to Granada or the First Fleet, at least our lives are saved."

"It seems that your best luck in the universe is not exaggerated."

The work was half done, and the serious Heinlein finally smiled. He and Luo could be said to be at two extremes of the technical spectrum.

One who is full of wild imagination and has the ability to turn his imagination into reality.

The other is extremely rigorous and will not tolerate even the slightest deviation.

These two extreme personalities actually became friends under high-pressure circumstances, which made them feel a sense of mutual appreciation when looking at each other.

"Do you still remember the mission assigned by the other party? The group of photocopies on the ship must not be in danger, and the professor's body is also in the petri dish. We must make sure that Luo Pan is unable to take action."
