Chapter 84 Wreckage
(Any book friends who didn't update yesterday know what happened. The power outage lasted for a long time until midnight. The late update today is purely a problem of Yi Zui. I accidentally overslept after eating. I will update one chapter now. There will be another chapter very late.)
The sky didn't know whether it was raining or the clouds were lifted. Xiao Ran's blindfolded eyes couldn't tell clearly, and he couldn't tell whether it was aches or tears in his eyes.
When Black Astray grabbed the two Gundams that were in tatters and only the cockpit torso position was still intact. After twenty minutes of swimming in the sea, they appeared in the island group. The moment they stood on the island, the joy and excitement of knocking off Buster Gundam had disappeared without a trace. He looked at the back of Archangel disappearing in the distance with some trembling. Only the wreckage of Skygrasper Unit 2, the completely damaged Strike Gundam, and the pieces of Aegis Gundam's wreckage were left in front of him.
Xiao Ran stared blankly at the Skygrasper body that had been scattered for several seconds in the wreckage. The image of Tolle being teased so helplessly by him flashed through his mind again and again. He didn't make any sound, but tears could not stop falling from his cheeks.
Black Astray controlled Black Astray to walk past the wreckage of Skygrasper with an expressionless face. Xiao Ran closed his eyes and tried hard not to look at the passing wreckage, but he couldn't help asking himself, "Why is this happening? Why? Why did he die? It should not have been now, and this battle should not have happened this time."
With a little bit in hand, a compiled message was sent out from Black Astray, and the rescue team and recovery team that Orb had prepared also set sail from Orb in the direction of Black Astray.
Not far away, a red aircraft body also fell from the sky and landed directly next to Strike Gundam. Luo's voice also sounded in the cockpit of Black Astray: "What are you still doing!"
"Have you been around all this time?" Xiao Ran heard Luo's voice and opened his eyes. At this time, the tears had stopped, and his eyes revealed a trace of freedom. Perhaps Xiao Ran was born selfish, or perhaps he had already understood that Tolle's death was doomed, and he knew that dying in Prometheus was more common.
"Nonsense, I knew you would be up to no good if you ran away. I was going to save you like a god descending to earth at the end of the battle. I didn't expect you to show off your power. I really can't believe it." Luo glanced at the wreckage of Skygrasper from the monitor screen. Unit 2 sighed helplessly, controlled Red Mecha to completely tear off the cockpit of Strike Gundam, picked up an earphone and put it on, then opened the hatch and jumped out.
"Ha." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled ugly, and also operated Black Astray to run towards Strike Gundam. A few minutes later, Xiao Ran and Luo took Kira, who was hot but seemed to be basically intact except for bleeding on the head, from the cockpit and sent it to Luo's Red Mecha.
Luo touched Kira's hot forehead, knelt at the open hatch of Red Mecha, stretched out his head, frowned and shouted loudly to Xiao Ran who was standing on Strike Gundam's body, "His condition is very bad. I will send him back first, and you can figure out a solution by yourself."
Xiao Ran took off the mask, rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, took a deep breath and replied loudly, "Don't go to Orb, the place now does not belong to him, otherwise once Earth Force knows that he is still alive..."
Luo was stunned by Xiao Ran's words, then took a deep look at Xiao Ran and nodded gently. "I understand."
Xiao Ran nodded, waved his hand to Luo, turned around and jumped out of Strike Gundam, watching Red Mecha slowly fly deeper into the sky and towards the island. It was the first time since he grew up that he felt the discomfort, sadness and emptiness of seeing someone around him die suddenly flooded into his heart, making his eyes turn red again.
But he also knew very well in his heart that it was okay to be sad, it was okay to cry, and it was okay to have a little bit of pain, but now he was not qualified to be miserable, and Tolle's relationship with him did not qualify him to be miserable. If he wants to be free and easy, he must be free and easy. Today's death of Tolle is just the beginning. In the future, death will follow him closely. He is arranged to walk on this road. In the future, he will go to other worlds one after another. It is inevitable to see the sacrifice of familiar plot characters. At most, he can avoid the death of some people if he has the ability. If he cannot avoid it, he will treat it casually. Your mentality must not be affected by who dies and who lives. If you don't want to die yourself, then you have to be ruthless and let others die.
He forced himself to calmly walk all the way to the location of Buster Gundam and Duel Gundam. Xiao Ran also took out the unconscious Nicol and Dearka from the cockpit respectively. As for the injuries of the two, Xiao Ran just took out First Aid Kit and touched the bleeding spots of the two people. When "bandaging" the two people, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Nicol, and comforted himself in his heart, "It is better to save the one who is capable than the next one who is incompetent."
Then they left the two of them behind a huge rock and boarded the cockpit to start looking for Athrun. They followed the wreckage of Aegis Gundam and finally found Athrun half-submerged in water on a beach. In the end, they just pulled Athrun away. Hai Hai didn't dare to move anymore, because Athrun's arm had already shown an irregular twist. Xiao Ran could tell at a glance that the other party's arm had been broken even if it hadn't been broken. If there were still invisible places, Xiao Ran didn't know, but for the sake of safety, he didn't dare to move.
After doing all this, Xiao Ran returned to Black Astray and leaned softly, staring blankly at the top of the cockpit until a rescue helicopter quickly approached ten minutes later under the protection of two armed helicopters.
The communication started to prompt Xiao Ran that there was a message coming in. Xiao Ran took a deep breath and connected the communication. Before he could speak, an urgent female voice sounded in the cockpit, "Masked Man, Kira... Kira, is he okay?"
Xiao Ran pursed his lips. Although he couldn't see the other person's appearance because there was no video of him, he could still imagine Cagalli's anxious look. After sighing in his heart, Xiao Ran said, "I don't know, I didn't find him."
"For you and Athrun, forgive me, Amen."
"What!" Cagalli suddenly raised his voice and became violent. "You are still a teacher, how can you be a teacher if you can't even protect your own students!"
Cagalli's words seemed to stimulate Xiao Ran, causing a ball of anger to surge out of his heart. He couldn't suppress it and roared out, "Teacher must be able to protect me, right? Is the teacher omnipotent? Teacher can do everything? What's wrong with my protection? You think I don't want to protect them? But what can I do? Tell me!"
Xiao Ran's roar made Cagalli choke and remain silent for a long time. After Cagalli really got to know Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran had always been amiable. He would joke with her, and would suddenly wander in front of him with a smile. He would also shrug his shoulders and laugh away her temper, but he never got angry. But now he roared out, knocking Cagalli awake.
After a long time, Cagalli finally said these three words: "I'm sorry."
With these three words, Xiao Ran also leaned on the chair as if exhausted, and said feebly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I captured the two pilots of Buster Gundam and Rage Gundam. The defeated Aegis Gundam driver was found. Now besides the duel, Buster Gundam, Blitz Gundam, Strike, and Aegis Gundam are all here."
"Aegis Gundam?" Cagalli's voice was hesitant.
"That's right." Xiao Ran hummed, shook his tired head and said, "I'm tired and want to take a rest, that's all."
After saying that, Xiao Ran unilaterally hung up the communication, and then sent the locations of the three people to Cagalli. After seeing the helicopter landing on the island and the rescuers jumping out from the screen, he closed his eyes, tilted his head and let himself fall asleep.
When he woke up again, it was already close to night, and no one had bothered him after sleeping for several hours. When he opened the hatch Xiao Ran, he saw that the island that should have been dark was brightly lit. Team after team of people were running around on the island, inspecting the wreckage of the four aircraft, and at the same time searching for traces of Kira.
