Chapter 330: Fight to the Death, Luo's Hesitation

A few days later, Aslan and Diego woke up one after another, and Yang Hui brought some fruits to visit them.

"Why are you here?"

"I was going to ask you, Cagalli, I heard that you have been staying here these days, aren't you afraid of rumors?" Yang Hui asked Cagalli with a smile. He knew that there would be sparks between Cagalli and Aslan, but others didn't know. If it was reported that the princess of the Ob Asha family and the son of the ZAFT military defense chairman had a scandal, it would be very troublesome.

"I... because of you, I can't go anywhere. Where else can I go if not here? Locked in the room?"

"Why are you locked up? Don't you know what's going on?"

"Humph!"

Yang Hui shook his head, put the fruit on the bedside, and asked Aslan: "How is your recovery?"

"...Yang Hui." Facing Yang Hui, Aslan felt very complicated. On the one hand, he was angry because Nigel's life and death were unknown, and he was also angry that Yang Hui had joined the war and was his enemy; on the other hand, he couldn't let go of the friendship of his old friend.

"Nigel is still alive, in the ward next to yours."

"Huh?"

"Diego is fine too, his ward is right across from you, but the three of you can't get out of bed yet, and need to rest, so you don't know."

"This... is true..." Hearing the news that Nicole and Diego were still alive, Aslan was excited, but soon calmed down, because he thought Nicole and Diego were dead, and were blinded by hatred and anger, not only killing Kira's good friend, but also Kira...

"Yang Hui... Qiang Xi... was killed by me." Aslan said with difficulty, tears flowing down uncontrollably, "And the Sky Overlord... That's... your companion... I... I can't help it, we... we are..."

"It's an enemy, so I don't blame you." Yang Hui added for Aslan and comforted him.

"Why... why!? Aren't you sad!? They are your companions and friends! Aren't you sad? Don't you hate me?"

"Why should I be sad? Why would I hate you?"

"You... are you so cold and heartless now?" Aslan asked with gritted teeth. He and Kira are good friends and enemies at the same time. He killed Kira, and he was sad and heartbroken. Why didn't Yang Hui, who is his companion, feel anything? Shouldn't he hate himself at this time?

If you don't hate me, how can I convince myself?

"It's normal to kill each other even if you are friends in the enemy camp, because you are all soldiers. If Kira really died in your hands, that would be the best ending. After all, I would rather he died in your hands than in the hands of someone I don't know."

"Yang Hui! You..."

"And Kira hasn't been confirmed dead yet."

"What!? Impossible! I... but..." Aslan couldn't believe it. In order to kill Kira, he used the Aegis Gundam to self-destruct at zero distance! The cockpit of the Strike Gundam was damaged. At that distance, Kira couldn't be alive!

"Kajiali, do you remember the scene?" Yang Hui asked Kajiali.

"I remember, it was very tragic..."

"Did you find a body in the cockpit of the striker?"

"No...no!"

That's right! No body was found in the cockpit of the striker!

It was at this time that Cagalli discovered something was wrong. Even if the Aegis Gundam self-destructed, it would not be possible to turn the body into ashes, at least there would be traces left. However, no traces of the body were found in the wreckage of the Strike Gundam brought back, which means...

"It should be someone who saved him. Anyway, it is not certain that Kira is dead now."

Athrun lowered his head and began to cry, muttering: "Great... Really... Great... Kira is still alive... I didn't kill him... Great..."

"There is one more thing I think you need to know, Thor is not dead either."

"Thor?"

"It's the pilot of the Sky Overlord you shot down."

"How is it possible!?" Athrun was stunned again. Thor and Kira were in completely different situations. After Athrun activated the Aegis self-destruction program, he evacuated and was stunned by the impact of the self-destruction. He could not confirm Kira's life or death, but Thor was killed by him!

The shield of the Aegis Gundam was thrown towards the Sky Overlord and hit the cockpit of the nose directly. How could the pilot still be alive?

"My lower body is paralyzed, my left arm is gone, my right face is ruined, but I'm lucky to have survived."

"..." Aslan was silent. He was still alive, but it didn't matter anymore, because such injuries would be worse than death.

"As long as people are alive, there is hope. Don't be too pessimistic, Aslan, you are just too naive. Don't forget that whether it's Kira or Thor, they are your enemies, at least before."

"But..."

"I don't know why you choose to join the war, what you fight for, but I know Kira and Thor. They all hate fighting, but for their friends and to protect their companions, they know they have to go to the battlefield even though they know it's dangerous. This is their awareness. Your regret and self-hatred after the fact are just insulting them!" Yang Hui scolded Aslan seriously.

"What about you? Why did you do this?" Cagalli asked. She had never considered why Yang Hui did all this before, but only unilaterally regarded Yang Hui as a traitor.

But the house arrest in the past few days made her think a lot, and Yang Hui's words just now made her figure out some things.

"Me? Haha." Yang Hui laughed at himself, "I just don't want to hide under the table and shiver when danger comes, and put the hope of survival on others."

"What did you say!? Then Orb..." Anger burned in Kagali's chest. She never thought that Yang Hui had tossed so many things in Orb just for this selfish idea!

"Orb... isn't it an enlarged version of me?" Yang Hui turned his head and looked at Kagali and asked.

"This..."

Kagali couldn't find a reason to refute, and Aslan was silent. They knew that Yang Hui was telling the truth. Isn't Orb just as Yang Hui said? Slogans and positions are empty, but if there is no corresponding power, isn't that what Yang Hui said? When danger comes, you can only hide under the table and shiver.

"Have a good rest. We have notified the Carpentaria base. They will come to pick you up in a few days."

"Yang Hui! I..."

"The next time we meet, it will probably be on the battlefield. I hope you can think about why you are fighting. I don't want to kill you who are hesitating. That will not give me any sense of accomplishment."

After saying that, Yang Hui left the ward, leaving Cajali and Aslan with complicated thoughts.

These words were not only said to Aslan, but also to Cajali. In Yang Hui's eyes, everything Cajali did was nonsense. She didn't know what she was doing or why she was doing it. It was just a moment of willfulness.

Yang Hui was also telling Cajali implicitly that he was not eliminating the possibility of Cajali fighting, but hoped that she would know the reason for fighting. If she insisted on fighting meaninglessly, she would not have the opportunity to step onto the battlefield.

Of course, whether Cajali could understand what Yang Hui meant was another matter.

...

After leaving Aslan's ward, Yang Hui went to see Diego and Nicol again. Seeing that the two had recovered well, he was relieved and just had to wait to return the three people to the ZAFT army intact.

After the condolences, Yang Hui came to the [Dawn Society], but he unexpectedly met Luo and his team in the [Dawn Society].

"Why are you here again? Didn't you just update the equipment for the red machine?" Yang Hui asked.

"You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"The giant floating platform, the giant floating platform was commissioned by mentor Malchio to our scrap recycler to build it."

"Uh... I really don't know." Yang Hui really didn't know this. He only knew that the Atlantic Federation used private enterprises to build the giant floating platform, but didn't know that it was commissioned to a scrap recycler.

"Well, I thought you knew everything."

"I'm not a god!"

"Is there any difference between you and a god? When I knew you were the pilot of that machine, I was almost scared to pee my pants." Luo said exaggeratedly.

"...Is it that serious?" Yang Hui covered his face with a smile.

"Why not? Don't you know what people say about you? [Angel], [God], [Devil]... Anyway, none of them are human." Luo spread his hands and teased. At first, he was only interested in Yang Hui's machine, but after learning about the battle record of the Dawn Gundam from the professor, he was really scared.

"Hehe, do you think I have wings? Or a halo on my head? Or a tail and sharp horns?" Yang Hui rolled his eyes.

"Who knows if you are hiding? Let me look for you." As soon as he finished speaking, Luo started to touch Yang Hui all over, as if he would not stop until he found the wings and screamed.

"Get out of here!" Yang Hui cursed and kicked Luo in the butt angrily.

"Hehe, just kidding."

"Get lost!"

"Okay, you're not such a petty person." Luo put his arm around Yang Hui's shoulders and said with a smile, but his expression immediately became serious, "By the way, Yang Hui, I heard that Orb accepted ZAFT's prisoners?"

"Yes." Yang Hui responded subconsciously, but immediately became surprised, "No, when did you care about these things?"

"Ah, I watched a death battle and was a little shocked." Luo explained that when the Strike Gundam and the Aegis Gundam fought, Luo happened to be nearby and watched the death battle throughout. It contained murderous intent, and he didn't care about his own pain. He would never give up until he killed the other party.

"...So what? What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, just...why do you think there must be war in this world?"
