Chapter 245 I Am Just Using You

Everyone was silent, not knowing how to refute Yang Hui, especially Baki Lulu.

As Yang Hui said, in their eyes, scrap recyclers are a group of hyenas, who only know how to pick up garbage all day long, and are one of the most despised people.

But even such a group of people, when spoken by Yang Hui, gave a completely different evaluation.

"But... this... even if it is so... the Eurasian Federation is a friendly force, it must be better than..."

"Just follow Yang Hui's suggestion, we will go to the scrap recyclers' union for supplies."

In the end, Malu did not give Baki Lulu a chance to argue, and directly decided to support Yang Hui's suggestion.

The reason why they believed in Yang Hui was that Yang Hui was also on the Archangel ship, and he could not joke about his own life. Moreover, Yang Hui stood at a higher position than them, and everything he saw, heard, and touched was not comparable to them. She also knew a little about the filth within the Earth Federation, so compared with the friendly forces that seemed to be friendly forces but actually did not know what they would do, a simple trading relationship was more reassuring.

Maru also considered another point, that is, ZAFT's pursuit.

She didn't know whether the Cruze team would continue to pursue the Archangel. If they didn't, everyone would be happy, but if they wanted to pursue, going to the Scrap Recycling Merchants' Union would be a strange move, because its defense line was completely opposite to Artemis.

Baki Lulu could think that Artemis was the best choice for supplies, so would the enemy not think of it? The Nazca class is also a high-speed battleship. What if the opponent ambushed them on the way? Or if they were blocked in Artemis, what should they do?

Artemis's [Umbrella] can be called an invincible defense, but once it is opened, they cannot enter or exit. Do they have to stay in Artemis for the rest of their lives and pray for reinforcements from the Eurasian Federation or the Atlantic Federation to help them?

And... the performance of the other four Gundams must also be considered.

"Captain!"

"I'll explain later. The most important thing now is to leave this place." Maru said to Baki Lulu.

"...Understood."

"Prepare the bait. Start the main engine while dropping it. Correct the route to the Scrap Recycling Merchants' Union. Then, in order to prevent detection, switch to inertial navigation and secondary combat configuration to ensure that the ship adjustment is completed in the shortest time."

"It will take about four hours to escape to the coordinates marked by Yang Hui. The rest can only be left to fate." Mu said to himself.

The Archangel set sail. After throwing the bait, the main engine ignited, pushing the Archangel through the gaps in the debris and starting its legendary life.

...

On the other side, Cruze also decided on the next action plan, which was to continue chasing the Archangel.

"I didn't expect the situation to develop like this." Captain Addis worriedly said, he never thought of destroying [Heliopolis], otherwise it would not only be the MS attack, but also the warships. "What should we do? If the colony satellite of the neutral country is destroyed, the Council must..."

"How can the colony satellite that manufactures new MS for the Earth Army be neutral?" Cruze asked back.

"But..."

"Most of the residents have already escaped, so there won't be any big problems." As he said this, Cruze looked at Captain Addis, whose expression could not be seen clearly because of the mask, "...compared to the tragedy of Bloody Valentine's Day."

"..."Captain Addis remained silent.

The tragedy of [Bloody Valentine's Day] is a scar that is difficult to heal in the hearts of all PLANT people.

On February 14, CE70, the Earth Federation launched a nuclear bomb at the agricultural satellite [Junius 7] in the P.L.A.N.T satellite group, causing direct devastating damage and killing 243,721 people on [Junius 7]. Since February 14 is Valentine's Day, it is called [Bloody Valentine's Day] in history.

This is also the turning point when the war between the Earth Federation and PLANT enters a white-hot stage.

"Can you capture the location of the local new battleship?" Cruze asked the radar manager.

"No, it's difficult in the current situation."

"Should we continue the pursuit?" Captain Addis asked, "But we have no available MS."

"Don't we still have one? We snatched four from the Earth Army."

"You want to put that into battle? But..."

"It's enough to extract the data. Let me make the best use of it. Enlarge the space map and then send a telegram to the Kamov to expand the detection range."

"Yes."

The space map shows that Cruze and Captain Addis began to study the direction where the Archangel might appear.

"They must have left this space when [Heliopolis] collapsed." Captain Addis judged.

"No, that's impossible. They should be hiding somewhere." After making a completely different judgment, Cruze carefully observed the space map and made a suggestion, "How about casting a net?"

"You mean... casting a net?"

"That's right, let the Vesalius (Cruzer's vehicle, a Nazca-class battleship) go first and wait for the enemy ship here, and the Kamov will follow closely while conducting reconnaissance on the route that intersects with its orbital plane." Cruze arranged.

"Is this route... heading to Artemis? But if they escape to the moon..."

"A large heat source was detected, and based on dimensional analysis predictions, the target was diverted by the earth's gravity and headed for the Earth Army's Atlantic Federation headquarters on the moon's surface."

"Captain..." Captain Addis was convinced of his judgment. The Archangel was going to head directly to the lunar base.

But Cruze saw through the Archangel's trick at a glance and determined that it was a bait: "That is a bait."

"But... just in case, we should still confirm with the Kamov..."

"No, they will head towards Artemis. What just happened makes me more convinced of this. The Vesalius set sail and connected with Selman."

However, Kruse accurately judged the bait, but he also fell into a blind spot in his thinking and misjudged the Archangel's destination. The strategy of attacking from both front and back was bound to fail.

…

After successfully misleading the Cruze team, the Archangel also entered a short period of stability. It was enough to leave on-duty personnel on the bridge. Everyone did not need to stay on the bridge, so Yang Hui also left the bridge to find Kira. Although the reason for driving the Strike Gundam was different, Kira should still be confused and struggling at this time. Since he was the one who led him on this path, he must naturally take responsibility.

"Hey, Kira, you worked hard in the previous battle."

Yang Hui came to the ship and was confirming the identities of all the refugees. Kira and others were naturally resting here, but there was one more person than before. He was spurned and cursed by countless fans, but he was only harmed by the war. poor girl.

Her long bright red hair was tied into a single ponytail, she had an exquisite face, and her pink dress was refreshing and cute. However, she was standing close to Sai with an uneasy expression on her face, exactly like a young lady in distress.

"Yang Hui..."

"Yang Hui, we... what should we do now? Where is this ship going?"

Compared to Kira's complicated expression, Thor asked bluntly, because they were also forced to board the ship, and they had already guessed that the ZAFT army would keep chasing the ship. It would be more dangerous to stay on this ship. They thought Get off the ship as soon as possible and stay away from the whirlpool of war.

"This ship is going to the Scrap Recyclers Union for supplies. If you want to get off the ship, you should be able to. Although those scrap recyclers are jealous of money, I will help you pay for the return to Earth." Yang Hui replied.

"The Scrap Recyclers Union? What is that?" Mirialia asked.

"I've heard of them." Sai, who comes from a better family, is more knowledgeable than others. "They are a group of space nomads who make a living by looking for space junk everywhere in the universe."

"What? Aren't they just a group of rag collectors? Why do you need to go to them for supplies?" As a spoiled young lady, Fleur doesn't know many things, and she likes to judge others before they understand them.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Miss Astal, although they make a living by picking up space junk, there are still many talents in it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to survive alone in the universe, let alone form a team with All major organizations are related." Yang Hui lectured lightly.

In a way, Fleur does deserve sympathy, but in the vortex of war, who can be spared? This is not a reason to approve of what she did, and...

After all, looking at the environment, your current situation is that you are living under someone else's roof, and you are showing off to someone like a young lady. This is no longer pretentious, but silly.

"You! How can you say that to me? Aren't they just a bunch of rag pickers? Even if they have the ability, they are still picking up rags!"

"Okay, Fleur." Sai quickly comforted Fleur to shut up and apologized to Yang Hui, "I'm sorry, Yang Hui, Fleur doesn't understand..."

"It's okay, but you'd better let her control her temper. Temporarily getting rid of the ZAFT army doesn't mean we are completely safe."

"I see……"

If it were someone else, even if the other party was reasonable, Sai would speak up for Fleur, but Yang Hui's identity made Sai unable to temper. Firstly, the other party was reasonable, and secondly, Yang Hui could be considered to have saved their lives. If at that time If they were allowed to disembark, they would have become part of the space junk with the collapse of [Heliopolis]. Finally... Yang Hui is a top figure in Orb. As citizens of Orb, they must not Dare to offend Yang Hui.

"Speaking of which, Kira..."

"Yang Hui...I..."

"Come on, let's talk."

"……good."

"Wait! Do you still want Kira to fight? He is not a soldier, why are you doing this?" Thor stopped Kira from leaving with Yang Hui, and asked Yang Hui.

"...I didn't force him to do anything. It was his own choice." Yang Hui stared at Thor and others and said.

"But……"

After returning to the ship, Thor and others also asked Kira why he continued to fight. Kira also told everyone about the conversation between Yang Hui and him. Everyone also felt that Yang Hui was despicable. It seemed that Kira was given a choice, but in fact he was not. He just forced Kira to fight on his behalf.

"Thor, stop talking."

"But you don't want to fight either, do you?"

"Yes, but..."

"You are a bastard! I don't think you are a good person!" Thor couldn't find any words to convince Kira. In anger, he directly grabbed Yang Hui's collar and raised his fist to beat Yang Hui.

"Thor! Stop!"

"Don't be impulsive! He is..."

"So what? Can the young master of the Yang family take advantage of us ordinary people at will?"

"Thor..."

"If you want to hit me, feel free. I won't fight back." Yang Hui looked calmly at the aggressive Thor and the unfriendly Sai Yi and others. If they were enduring before, Thor's words aroused all their dissatisfaction.

"You bastard..."

"Yes, I forced Kira to fight, and I deliberately induced you to board the Archangel. I am indeed using you. I will not refute this."

"Yang Hui! You..."

"But everything I did was for Orb." Yang Hui said to everyone in a sonorous and powerful manner. His attitude and reality made them breathless for a moment. "As long as Orb can become stronger, break free from the current constraints, and no longer be controlled by the Earth Union and PLANT, I will use everything that can be used, including myself."

"..."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Hui finally said to Kira: "I'm going to the hangar. It's up to you to decide whether to come or not."

After that, he turned and left, leaving everyone with complicated expressions.
