Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 88: Not negotiating with terrorists is an international consensus (5000)

The small drinking party between Red, Mao, and Cruz went smoothly. Since they didn't know each other well, they only drank some beer during the mission and talked about things in the past. Even Sagara Sosuke, who had been looking for Chidori but failed, joined in.

During the cocktail party, Red also deliberately shared some stories about his time as a rookie on Earth. Mao and the others were successfully fooled into thinking that Red was trained in a secret special forces camp in Europe and had also been active in North America.

This made the three of them feel more at ease communicating with Red. When they parted, Mao also gave Red a gift, the "Sister Mao's Marine Corps Training Manual" she wrote herself.

Red clearly remembered the effect of Future Sagara Sosuke using this thing to train the football team. The people after the training were so fierce and loyal. Red planned to take this thing back to the CE universe and give it to Noin to strengthen those new recruits.

After bidding farewell to Mao, Cruz, and Sosuke Sagara, Red began to wander around the various areas of the Sons of Danu based on his memory, and even went to the bathroom to take a look. Of course, Red went into the men's bathroom.

The reason for doing this was to find a way to find the room where Jiulong was imprisoned. Red wanted to take the opportunity to put some slow-acting poison in the room where he was. Anyway, two of the SRT members guarding him were spies. There was basically no need to worry about accidental injuries. Moreover, if one of his own people was poisoned afterwards, as long as he was still alive, he could detoxify himself.

However, the interrogation of Jiulong obviously had nothing to do with him as an inspector, so Lieutenant Colonel Maducas did not tell Red the specific place of imprisonment. Red planned to slowly explore with his new human ability.

Even if Jiulong is still imprisoned, his already twisted thoughts should be as obvious as a bright light in the darkness.

However, after awakening as a new human and returning to Earth, Red finally understood why Char always said that the souls of Earthlings were bound by gravity. Red was not sure whether the souls were bound or not, but the emotional perception radius of his own new human ability had indeed become smaller.

Moreover, there were metal partitions everywhere in the Son of Danu, which again affected his perception of other people's emotions, but as long as he entered the 20-meter radius, he would definitely be able to sense it. In the unobstructed corridor, Red's perception range was still very far.

Therefore, Red knew that those places were heavily guarded, so there was no need for him to break into empty houses. Even if he wandered around, he would not arouse anyone's suspicion.

It’s a pity that after turning around for several times, Red couldn’t find the place where Jiulong was imprisoned. It is very likely that the place where he was imprisoned was not near the corridor that Red knew.

So Red went back to the room that was temporarily arranged for him to rest. Since he couldn't find Jiulong, he would just wait for Jiulong to make trouble. He needed to conserve his energy so that he could fight him.

Almost three hours later, Red was awakened by a shrill alarm. He looked at the information board in the room and saw a fire alarm warning, which was also marked as a drill.

Red said that Jiulong didn't know that he was here as an inspector. Have you ever seen a firefighter act out a scene and ask the inspectors to participate? Now, as long as Red pulled someone to explain the situation, Jiulong's trick would fall apart.

However, Mithril's mercenaries were all elite. When Red put on the special protective suit and went out, there was no one outside. He could only rely on his memory to find his way to the captain's room. Jiulong hacked the system of the Son of Danu, which was also a good opportunity for him. Red was still very interested in the fully automatic control AI of the Son of Danu.

However, Red was dumbfounded after only a few steps, because the road Red knew required him to go from the officers' rest area at the front of the ship back to the central mess hall and then go directly to the bridge from the road over there.

However, after the fire drill, in order to make it more realistic, the people from the Son of Danu closed all the hatches on the road to isolate the "flame".

These doors are not like the central partition door that cannot be opened manually, but opening them manually one by one is also extremely time-consuming.

But Red had no choice but to pray that there would be fewer people doing unnecessary things along the way, otherwise it would take a lot of time to open the door by himself. And remember that in the original work, Cruz and Sosuke Sagara didn't go to the hangar for training? Why didn't I meet them now?

In fact, the fact that Cruz and Sosuke Sagara did not appear was Red's own fault. There was no inspector named Red in the original work, so they were suspicious of the performance that was carried out suddenly without any prior notice.

But now Red's presence gave the two a reason, this exercise was done for Red to see. Not only did they think so, anyone who knew Red's identity, or knew that there was an inspector from above, had no doubts about the purpose of this fire drill, the troublemakers all cooperated, and the others naturally followed the rules, so now they were all locked up by Jiulong in the front half of the ship.

Red made his way to the cafeteria area before he ran into the first group of people, the escaping Chidori Kaname, and Nguyen Van Vu and John Dunnigan who were chasing her.

Since there was a long corridor in front of the corridor, Red could sense the three people running in front of him from a distance. He then found a corner and grabbed Chidori when she was about to run past him. Then he pointed his gun at the two people chasing him from behind, pretending to know nothing, and said in a serious tone:

"Now, can any of you tell me what farce the Sons of Danu are carrying out? Two SRT troops chasing an underage girl in an empty corridor? And this fire drill, who is this for?"

Nguyen Van Vu and John Dunnigan were obviously the kind of people who exercised their bodies and trained their muscles to work on their brains. They had some wisdom, but not much. When they saw Red, they remembered that there was such a person on the ship. The fire drill without any notice was naturally strange to the inspector.

Then they used the remaining brainpower to judge the battlefield. They had never seen the clothes on Red, but they could guess that they were bulletproof. They didn't know if the pistols in their hands could penetrate the defense.

However, Chidori would not give Ruan Wenwu and John Dunnigan time to think about how to answer. After confirming that Red and the other party were not in the same group, she immediately shouted behind Red

"They are traitors. They helped Jiulong escape and occupied the command room. I escaped under the cover of Tessa!"

Chidori hasn't experienced much war yet, so she doesn't know that her yelling behavior is simply a trap for Red.

Originally, the opponent might have wanted to fool around and find a flaw to attack, and this was also an opportunity for Red to find a flaw, but now that she was shouting like this, the opponent would definitely open fire immediately.

These were all things that Red knew without the new human's sense of murderous intent, so before Chidori could finish her words, he immediately took the initiative and shot at Ruan Wenwu and John Dunnigan.

Ruan Wenwu and John Dunnigan were indeed members of the SRT. Red's two shots were a sneak attack, but they immediately lay down and dodged Red's two shots to the head by observing the change in the position of the gun muzzle and their own intuition. Then they immediately fought back.

Seeing this, Red pushed Chidori to the corner of the aisle, replaced a bullet-proof shield from the system and placed it directly in front of him. The 9mm pistol bullets of Nguyen Van Wu and John Dunnigan could not even explode the bullet-proof shield.

At this time, Red simply discarded his pistol, exchanged it for a submachine gun from the system, and started shooting at the two people lying on the ground.

In the corridor without any cover, there was no way to avoid the bullets from the submachine gun. Nguyen Van Wu and John Dunnigan never figured out how the other side conjured up riot shields and submachine guns out of thin air, and they were shot to pieces.

After killing the two men, Red shot them in the head again before picking up the pistol he had dropped and walking back to Chidori. Seeing her trying to stick her head out to see outside, Red reminded her:

"Miss, if you don't want to go hungry tonight, you'd better not look at it. To be honest, there's nothing good about corpses."

After Red said this, Chidori also knew the outcome of chasing the two people, but she didn't doubt why Red suddenly had an explosion-proof shield and a submachine gun in his hands, because Sagara Sosuke had already shown her how exaggerated the weapons that a person could hide were.

So Chidori was not so stubborn as to watch the ending of Nguyen Van Wu and John Dunnigan, and just took a deep breath and said

"Captain Red, I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself when we last met. My name is Kaname Chidori, and I was invited to visit this ship."

Reid nodded, then asked knowingly:
"I understand, Ms. Chidori. Actually, Sergeant Sosuke Sagara explained your situation to me later. To be honest, he couldn't find you after you ran away, and he was actually very worried.

Okay, let's get down to business. You just said Jiulong took control of the command room. You escaped, right?"

When Red said this, Chidori suddenly remembered Tessa's instructions and immediately said

"Yes, Captain Reid, can you please rescue the command room? I need to go to the captain's lounge, and I have something to do later."

Here it seems that Chidori lacks experience. If Red has any bad intentions at this time, the key to the captain's lounge and the password to the safe in Chidori's hands will have to change hands.

However, Red was not planning to go to the Chapel of the Virgin Mary. That was a system that required the Whisperer's innate knowledge and complete resonance with Tessa to use. If he went in, he could only stare blankly.

So Red played the good guy here, pulling out a knife from his arm storage compartment, handing it to Chidori, and said, "I see. Let's separate here. This dagger is for self-defense. Guns are too dangerous for people who don't know how to use them, so a knife is just right. Remember, if you meet someone you want to kill, just stab them in the neck."

Chidori Kaname trusted Reid very much at this time. After accepting the knife, he bowed 90 degrees to thank him.
"Thank you, Mr. Reid. I'll try my best."

After saying that, he ran away with "thump, thump, thump".

Red didn't pay too much attention to Chidori anymore. She wouldn't encounter any enemies next time. His task now was to rush to the command room and do what needed to be done before she restarted the system of the Son of Danu.

Since Chidori was able to run all the way here, it proves that there should be no closed hatches on the road ahead.

So Red rushed to the door of the command room as fast as he could, leaned against the door, and used his new human abilities to sense the location of the people inside.

However, Red also overlooked one point. Jiulong was a person with extremely sharp battlefield intuition. Although he was not a new human, with his sixth sense, he felt as if someone was spying on him.

So Jiulong stood up from the captain's seat, pulled Tessa up, pointed a gun at her forehead, and said to the entrance of the rear command room:

"Strange feeling of being spied on, same feeling as on Belial da Orb. A visitor has arrived, right? That strange AS pilot. Open the door and meet me, how about that?"

Red knew that he was exposed, and he couldn't really watch Tessa being killed. Although the system didn't say the impact of the camp commander's killing on the battle, if Tessa really died, he wouldn't be surprised at all if the system directly judged that Red had failed in the battle.

So after Red replaced the nano-tracking bullets in his pistol, he held up the pistol generously (the submachine gun would 100% accidentally injure the crew members in the command room), opened the door, leaned out, pointed at Jiulong, and then said to Tessa
"Colonel Testarossa, I told you that there is no point in capturing this terrorist. It is better to kill him directly."

Red was talking, and at the same time, the new human's telepathy instantly connected with Tessa and passed on another message.

"I will save you, but I need you to act with me."

Tessa was obviously much more experienced than Chidori. She didn't make any moves, but answered with a firm look in her eyes.
"Indeed, perhaps I should have listened to you."

Jiulong felt a little unhappy when he saw that he seemed to be ignored. He poked Tessa's temple with the gun, causing Tessa to scream in pain and then said
"I say, you two don't understand the situation. What's your name, kid? Also, put down your gun, put your hands on your head and squat down, otherwise this delicate captain may never be able to speak again in his life."

Red responded to Jiulong's words by shooting him directly in the head.

When Jiulong saw Reid's gun move, he immediately squatted down reflexively to avoid the attack.

In fact, Jiulong didn't want to kill Tessa, because once the hostage died, he would have to fight with the kid outside. No matter what the result was, based on the other side's current actions, they would definitely not take the people in the command room into consideration, and then his plan to hijack the ship would fail.

Jiulong doesn't really want to be buried with those scum in the command room. He hasn't enjoyed killing enough.

So Jiulong hid behind the captain's seat and pushed Tessa out, pointed a gun at the back of her head and threatened again:

"Boy, do you really not care about the life or death of this little girl? Do you think you can explain to the higher-ups if a Whisperer dies?"

Reid also retreated into the corridor at this time and replied
"Oh, I'm not a member of the Sons of Danu, so I don't have any feelings for this girl. Besides, it's an international consensus not to negotiate with terrorists. I think that if I can destroy your plan, it's a good deal even if everyone in the command room of this battleship dies. As for the Whisperers, aren't their deaths enough?"

After saying that, Red exchanged for his own special grenade and threw it into the command room.

Jiulong saw that the grenade was a typical fragmentation grenade and immediately stopped questioning Red's words. This guy really didn't care about the lives of the people in the command room.

So he quickly threw Tessa onto the fragmentation grenade and let her body press down on the grenade, so that the killing range and power after the explosion would be smaller.

Jiulong used the captain's seat as a cover and shrunk to the other side of the seat, lest his body could not block the fragments and he would be injured.

However, Jiulong didn't expect that what Red threw was not a fragmentation grenade at all, but a combination container containing high-concentration isoflurane and a liquid atomizer, which was just made into the appearance of a fragmentation grenade.

It doesn't explode at all, but it sprays a large amount of isoflurane around it like a smoke bomb, which can make people fall asleep quickly.

The command room was so small that when Jiulong found out that Red was a smoke bomb, he had completely lost the initiative. Red had already rushed out again and aimed at Jiulong.

Jiulong now has two choices. One is to shoot directly at Tessa on the ground, so that at least he can have someone to take with him when he dies. The other is to dodge as much as possible and then shoot at Red. As long as he defeats Red, he can take the initiative again.

In fact, Red was also gambling, betting that Jiulong was not willing to trade one for one with Tessa. Because to Jiulong, Tessa was not important. If Sagara Sosuke was lying there now, Jiulong would most likely choose to trade one for one. Or he would consider trading the entire ship.

It turned out that Red's guess was right. Jiulong did not attack Tessa. After dodging as much as he could, he raised his gun and shot Red in the heart.

So this time in the firefight, Reid hit Jiulong's left shoulder directly, causing a ball of blood to splash out.

Red was eventually shot in the right chest because of his movement, but the Luna Titanium Alloy perfectly blocked the bullet. However, the gun in Jiulong's hand was specially made by the SRT troops and would only be worn when performing special tasks. He snatched it from John Dunnigan.

Red just felt that his chest was hit by a 200-pound fat man. He took four or five steps back, but he bumped into the wall in the command room and was not seriously injured.

Jiulong actually saw that the bullet that hit Red was blocked and sparks appeared, so he knew that Red was probably not losing his combat effectiveness. At the same time, he also realized that there was something wrong with the smoke, so he was holding his breath.

But Red's helmet is for use in space, with a built-in oxygen circulation system and first-class filtering capabilities. Isoflurane has no effect on him at all.

So when Jiulong saw that Red was not afraid of the smoke, he immediately judged that it would be disadvantageous for him to continue fighting in the command room. Red didn't care about the lives of other people in the command room at all. The fog had made everyone faint.

Jiulong saw that the exit of the command room was given up because of Red's stumbling, and he immediately ran out of the door. He was so fast that Red's follow-up shot should have only grazed his lower back, and he still did not lose his ability to move.

However, Jiulong ran away and Red did not chase him. Now everyone in the command room was asleep. Red immediately exchanged for a server storage disk (the one in Artemis Fortress, which was analyzed together with the G data) and a mobile computer, connected them to the data port on the captain's seat, and began to violently pack the data of the Son of Danu.

This time, Red packaged Kowloon's virus software together, so he didn't try to remove the virus first. If this virus had the ability to hack into the system through the factory module, Red would admit it.

The speed of information transmission in the CE universe era was much faster than this era. In less than ten minutes, all the server data of the Son of Danu was packaged and copied. At this time, Chidori had not restarted the system yet.

In fact, Red was not afraid of having a criminal record for doing this. After Chidori restarted the system, the hacked system would have been deleted anyway, and there would be no sign that a copy had been made.

Moreover, Red can complete the mission and leave after dealing with Jiulong, and Tessa may not even wake up by then.

After all the data was downloaded, Red placed the server storage disk and computer in the newly exchanged long bag. He turned on the tracker and went to hunt Jiulong with the bag on his back.
