Chapter 55: Impossible

For the next night, Kira and Mu went out and came back, out and back, searching the entire nearby sea area without an accurate target at all. The difficulty can be said to be very great.

Xiao Yun was as steady as a rock. If Cagalli got lost, it would be a desert island. According to the plot inertia, she met her destined lover Aslan.

Of course, this is what should happen according to the normal development trajectory of the plot, but if there is any accident in the middle, it is not impossible that the No. 2 machine driven by Cagalli will be shot down and sunk into the sea. If the person is gone, it is really gone.

As the sun rises, the Sky King No. 1 also returns to the hangar of the Archangel again. He took off his helmet to reveal his tired face, and shook his head lightly at Xiao Yun who had slept and came to the hangar to wait.

Xiao Yun nodded without saying anything, and turned to look at the map spread out on a box next to him. The map was a topographic map of the area around the Archangel, which was divided into many small squares. Now, more than half of the small squares on the map have been marked with X by Xiao Yun, indicating that they have been searched.

Chisaka also did not sleep all night, and stayed in the hangar waiting for Mu and Kira to return again and again. He had been waiting in silence for a long time, and Mu returned again without bringing back any news, which inevitably made Chisaka feel a little depressed.

"Where will this young lady be?"

Mu also came to Xiao Yun holding a helmet, staring at the map that popped up with a slightly depressed look.

Xiao Yun glanced at Mu: "It should have fallen on an island. If you follow this map and look for it slowly, you will find it sooner or later. However, there are many islands nearby. It will take some time to find and confirm them one by one. You can't rush it. Otherwise, you should rest for a while."

"No, how can I sleep if I can't find this young lady." Mu shook his head and insisted: "It's good that nothing happened. If something happens, I will be responsible for it. The sooner I find it, the sooner I can rest assured. It rained so hard last night. I don't know how the young lady is doing now."

"Okay, no matter what, let's rest for a while and wait for Kira to come back." Xiao Yun patted Mu's shoulder and said: "In case After finding Cagalli, you ran out in a hurry. If something happens on the way, the situation will only get worse. No matter what, take a rest first. "

"Heh..." Mu said with a bitter smile: "How can I calm down and rest well in this situation? Damn ZAFT, if they hadn't buried so many neutron jammers on the earth to cause such a big interference, they could have contacted Unit 2 to locate it long ago."

Xiao Yun chuckled: "But if there were no neutron jammers, the war would have continued to this situation until now, and nuclear bombs would have been flying all over the sky, and the world would have become a mess long ago."

Mu did not deny the possibility of what Xiao Yun said, and could only sigh helplessly again.

This wait lasted for more than half an hour. Kojero, who was maintaining the Sky King Unit 1, suddenly paused. After pressing the earphones on his ears to confirm the content, he immediately shouted to Mu, who was sitting cross-legged against the wall, and Xiao Yun, who was beside him, "Found it! The young lady has been found!"

Mu, who was dozing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up quickly, shouting to Kojero, "Found it?"

Kojero laughed, "Yes, we found it. Lieutenant Kira is taking her back. Next, we have to go and recover Unit 2."

"Huh, it's really scary." Mu scratched his hair and breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his neck and twisted his shoulders and said, "It's good that we found it. This night's effort was not in vain. Next time, I will never let that young lady drive the machine to attack. My heart can't bear it again."

Chisaka, who was standing by, relaxed his brows after hearing the news that Cagalli was found. He nodded to Xiao Yun and left the hangar first.

Xiao Yun smiled and said to Mu: "Okay, we've found the person. Those who haven't slept all night should go to rest."

Mu yawned: "Sleep, sleep, I'm so sleepy. Hey Xiao Yun, what you told me yesterday wasn't true, right?"

Xiao Yun smiled noncommittally: "What do you think?"

"Oh, trouble."

Mu muttered and followed him out of the hangar, while Xiao Yun waited for the Strike Gundam to return. He saw Cagalli come out of the cockpit of the Strike Gundam with his own eyes before leaving. He was not interested in saying anything about Cagalli. As long as the person was safe, there was nothing to worry about.

Because of the search for Cagalli, many people on the whole ship did not rest well. In the next morning, whether it was Kira or Mu, or the maintenance team that had worked hard all night, they were all sleeping soundly, and the Archangel also spent a morning quietly.

When the canteen opened for lunch at noon, the whole canteen was filled with people who kept yawning. You yawned, I yawned, and the yawns made the people sitting inside feel even more sleepy.

Just after finishing the meal, Xiao Yun and Mu were called to the bridge for a meeting. Even Chisaka was called to the bridge. In addition to the three of them, there were also Malu and Bakilulu.

A map route was displayed on the big screen of the bridge. The map showed a route including the Strait of Malacca, connecting the South China Sea to the East Asian Federation and finally extending to Alaska.

"Mr. Xiao, we are about to enter the Strait of Malacca. If everything goes well, we will go up along Singapore after crossing the Strait of Malacca and enter the South China Sea of ​​the East Asian Federation, which means we have entered the territory of the United Army. Then we will go along the coastline to Alaska."

Malu stood in the bridge and explained the next route to Xiao Yun and Chisaka. After explaining the route, he looked at the two of them and said, "Once we get close to the East Asian Federation, the possibility of our ship encountering ZAFT will decrease sharply. Even if we encounter the pursuit of the ZAFT army, our ship can seek support from the East Asian Federation. I think ZAFT should They will not attack the East Asian Federation's sphere of influence for just one of our ships. "

"In order to avoid trouble for you, Mr. Xiao, you can leave the ship at any time once you pass through the Strait of Malacca and enter the South China Sea. We will let you disembark at a place that is convenient for you. After all, it is possible that the fleet of the United Army will come to pick you up after the Archangel enters the sphere of influence of the East Asian Federation, so it is better for you to disembark in advance. Is there any problem with this arrangement?"

Xiao Yun looked at the map and shook his head slightly: "If everything goes well, of course there will be no problem."

Chisaka also nodded to confirm Xiao Yun's words.

Compared to Malu, Mu knew Xiao Yun better, knew that Xiao Yun's mouth was poisonous, and heard that Xiao Yun had something to say.

After thinking for a while, Mu asked: "What do you think if there is a problem, what would it be?"

Xiao Yun walked to Malu, stood in the captain's seat, tapped the screen on the side of the captain's seat with his hand, and drew a new route.

After passing through the Strait of Malacca, they did not head towards the safer South China Sea, but continued to pass through the Karimata Strait, entered the Java Sea and passed through the Makassar Strait.

Seeing the new route drawn by Xiao Yun, everyone in the bridge looked at him inexplicably with puzzled expressions.

Mu asked: "What does this mean?"

Xiao Yun stretched out his hand and pointed at the exit below the Strait of Malacca, saying: "It means that we may not be able to move forward according to your plan so easily. Maybe we will encounter ZAFT's interception forces at this location. They will definitely not let us achieve our goals so easily."

"So they will definitely take this opportunity to force us to take this route, bringing them more strategic pursuit depth, but it will be more dangerous for the Archangel."

Malu frowned slightly, Bakilulu also showed a thoughtful expression, and Mu asked: "What do you think is the probability that ZAFT will stop us here?"

Xiao Yun spread his hands: "One hundred percent, if it were me, I would definitely not waste this opportunity."

Chisaka looked at the route map drawn by Xiao Yun and said: "If it is this route, will it be closer to Orb?"

Xiao Yun nodded: "Yes, it is just right to pass through the territorial waters near Orb."

Mu patted his forehead and said helplessly to Maru and Bakilulu: "Be prepared in advance, this guy has a poisonous mouth, and once he says something, it may really happen one hundred percent, which is troublesome."
