Chapter 280: Go and Experience the Cruelty of War
The night was noisy and the flames were blazing. The town, which was still harmonious and happy during the day, was engulfed by the sea of fire in an instant. The smoke was billowing and the ruins were everywhere. It was destroyed.
The only thing to be thankful for was that no one died. They all left the town before the disaster came.
This is their home. Many people who joined the resistance organization have families living in Tasier. Looking at the sea of fire from a distance, their hearts were filled with despair and grief. Seeing their families standing outside the sea of fire safely, they cried with joy.
"Elder! Are you okay?" Seeing the elder walking out of the crowd with the help of the child, she was very surprised. At first, she also thought that everything was over.
"Well, I'm fine, everyone is fine."
"Eh?"
"They issued a warning in advance, saying that they would set fire to the city and let us run away quickly."
"What did you say?" The people of the resistance organization and Mu, Baki Lulu and others who came to help were all stunned and couldn't believe their ears.
"When we all escaped from the town, they set the fire, so only a few people were injured, but they were not serious."
"How could it be..."
"Fortunately, Mr. Yang Hui reminded us and moved some food and water in advance, but the ammunition and fuel were all gone, and the remaining food and water could only last for everyone for a week."
"Yang Hui?"
At this time, everyone looked at Yang Hui again. Cagalli and the people on the Archangel were very surprised, wondering why it was related to Yang Hui.
The lower-level personnel of the resistance organization didn't understand, but the leaders such as Sayib knew Yang Hui's identity and cast a grateful look at Yang Hui. Due to the presence of outsiders, they couldn't express their gratitude directly.
"Yang Hui! What did you do!?" Cagalli didn't know what she had in her mind, and she actually thought that Yang Hui planned all this, and ran to him angrily to question him.
"Didn't you hear everything?"
"You bastard!" Cursing, Cagalli raised her hand and punched Yang Hui in the face, but just as she raised her fist, she was caught by a big hand.
"Hey, little girl, don't ignore the existence of my bodyguard." Lyle teased, but his face was not very good.
"Let me go! I must beat him... Let me go!"
"Stop! Cagalli!"
Cagalli struggled endlessly, and the elder immediately stopped Cagalli from making trouble.
"Elder! But Yang Hui..."
"You don't think I asked the ZAFT army to attack them?" Yang Hui asked Cagalli with a strange expression.
"Isn't it? If it wasn't you, how could they find this place!?"
"..."
At this moment, Yang Hui really wanted to knock this girl out directly, and then dig a hole to bury her. How did your strange brain circuit connect me with the attack of the ZAFT army? Just because I reminded them to move the supplies in advance?
"Haha, that's it." Yang Hui didn't want to explain to Kagali, and he wouldn't explain, because they were all intelligence personnel developed by Wang Liumei. Not to mention that Mu and Baki Lulu were still present, Kagali, who was impulsive and reckless, must not be allowed to know about the intelligence network.
"It's you! You... let me go... I want..."
"Stop it!"
"Elder..."
"Kagali, you blamed Mr. Yang Hui wrongly. If it weren't for Mr. Yang Hui, we wouldn't even have the last bit of food and water. Do you want us to repay kindness with hatred?"
"Really... wasn't it him?"
"No."
"Uh..." Kagali was embarrassed. After a long time, she blamed Yang Hui wrongly. "Then... why don't you explain?"
That's right, it's all Yang Hui's fault. He didn't explain himself! It's not my fault!
"Haha, why should I explain to you?"
Not to mention that he couldn't explain, Yang Hui wouldn't explain to Kagali. For Kagali, if she thinks you are wrong, then you are wrong. No matter how much you explain, she will think you are wrong.
"You!"
"Can you calm down?" At this time, Mu stood up and persuaded, "Shouldn't the most important thing to consider now be what to do next?"
"Yes, but..." Saib, the leader of [Desert Dawn], was embarrassed, because he didn't know what to do now. Ammunition and fuel were easy to deal with. At most, they would stop resisting, but how to solve the problem of food, water and shelter?
Go buy? They don't have that much money; go rob? They can't do anything to hurt their compatriots.
"There is always a way, right? As long as people are still alive." Mu continued.
"What do you mean?"
"This is just revenge for what happened last night, right? Tiger is still kind enough to make you pay this price."
"What did you say!?"
After this, Cagalli was furious again, and even the people around looked at Mu with a much uglier look.
"What do you mean by 'this little price'? The whole city was burned down! How can someone who did such a thing be merciful?!"
"Ahaha, sorry, I apologize if I made you unhappy." Mu knew he had said the wrong thing and apologized quickly, but he still insisted on his point of view, "But the other side is a regular army, you should understand that if they really come, the loss will be more than this."
"That guy is a despicable coward! He set fire to the city while we were away, and he thought he won, right? We have been fighting bravely, and we defeated [Baku] not long ago! So this despicable coward can only play such tricks! What [Desert Tiger]? He doesn't deserve it!"
"Hehe." Yang Hui smiled coldly at Kagali's words.
"What are you laughing at!?"
"I laugh at your naivety, and I also laugh at your stupidity."
"What did you say!?"
"Nothing, just the facts."
"You..."
"Saiyib!"
Just when Kagali was about to argue with Yang Hui again, the people of [Desert Dawn] found the leader Saiyib.
"What's wrong?"
"Come here!"
Saiyib left with his companions, and the others who stayed looked at Mu and Yang Hui with unkind eyes. Even if they knew Yang Hui's identity, they still hated his attitude. After all, it was Wang Liumei, not Yang Hui, who was kind to them.
...
"What's wrong? What happened?" Saiyib found his companions and immediately asked about the situation.
"They just left not long ago. We can still catch up if we set out now!"
"What?"
"They just attacked the town. They should have very little ammunition left! We have to chase them! How can we swallow this humiliation?"
"Don't say such stupid things! You'd better bandage the wounded with this kind of effort! Stay with your wife and children, that's the most important thing!" Saib scolded. Mu's words were unpleasant to hear, but they were indeed realistic. Although they could fight back and forth with the Desert Tiger as a resistance organization, it was because the other party didn't take them seriously. If the other party was serious, they would not let go of the people in the town, and it would be easy to wipe them out.
It's okay to fight a little on weekdays, but now they have to chase the regular troops. Are they in a hurry to die?
"What's the point of doing that!? Look!" Someone was dissatisfied, pointing at the burning Tasiel behind Sayib, "Tasiel is finished! The house was burned to ashes, and there is little food left. Do you want us to cry with our wives and children?"
After saying that, he left angrily, ready to drive the vehicle to fight the enemy to the death.
"You don't want us to be dogs under the hands of the tiger, do you? Sayib?"
This sentence deeply hurt Sayib. Everything he did and thought was for his compatriots and companions, but he was suspected of wanting to collaborate with the enemy, which made Sayib unacceptable.
"Let's go together!" At this time, Kagali came over and said to everyone, "We can't just let the town burn down like this! It's not like we haven't defeated Baku before, and we can definitely do it this time! Let's catch up! Revenge!"
"Kagali is right! We want revenge!"
"Revenge! Let's go together to take revenge!"
It was too late to stop them. Kagali's encouragement completely ignited the anger and hatred in everyone's hearts. If anyone stopped them again, even their family members would be treated as enemies.
"Saib, let's go together! We can definitely defeat them." Kagali encouraged.
"Kagali! You..."
"Or... do you really want to join that despicable villain?"
"..."
Finally, Saib's blood was also ignited. He didn't dissuade them anymore, but returned to the position of leader and led everyone to set off.
"Let's go! Revenge!"
"Oh~!"
...
Yang Hui, Lyle, Mu, Bakilulu and others stood in the distance and watched everything that had just happened, watching their backs as they left.
"Is it really okay not to stop them?" Mu asked Yang Hui, "They will be in danger if they go."
"I can't stop them, and I don't have the right to do so."
Just like he said to Frey, he has no right to stop others from taking revenge.
"What should we do now? Just watch?" Baki Lulu asked.
"Want to help? Contact Malu, she should agree."
"What about you?"
"Me? There are only two of us, Lyle and I, what can we do?"
After saying that, he took Lyle away in the opposite direction of the crowd, leaving Mu and Baki Lulu with complicated expressions. To be honest, they are really not suitable for conflict with the [Desert Tiger] troops now, but the [Desert Dawn] people helped them and saved them, and they couldn't just watch these avengers die.
"What should we do?"
"Contact the captain, we go to help them."
"Huh?" Mu looked at Baki Lulu in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's just a little unexpected. Shouldn't you suggest giving up at this time?"
"..." Baki Lulu didn't feel embarrassed or refute, but looked in the direction where Yang Hui left, "Maybe... he was influenced by someone."
"Haha, that's true, but..." Mu also looked at the same line of defense, "I don't think he will do nothing."
"That's right."
...
After a few private words with the elders, Yang Hui got in the car with Lyle and chased the convoy that set off first.
"You don't really want to get involved, do you? I don't think two 9MM pistols can cause damage to Baku." Lyle complained.
"Of course not, we'll be the audience."
"Huh?"
"Malu will definitely let Kira attack. I want to see how much Kira has grown."
"That's it?"
"What else?"
"But Cagalli..."
"Let her feel how cruel war is."
