A tight gasp,

The panic footsteps,

Panic crowd,

Howling kid,

The panicked parents,

Looking at the sea of ​​fire in horror

All of this is telling the people living in this coastal city...

The war is coming!

"Mother……"

The little boy pulled by his panicked mother suddenly lost his feet and fell heavily to the ground.

The mother screamed in surprise, turned around and knelt down, picked up the little boy, looked at it hurriedly, and comforted the little boy softly.

The sensible little boy endured the pain and was about to show a smile to relieve his mother, his throat suddenly turned sweet...

"Puff!"

Large swells of blood gushed out of the boy's throat without warning, and instantly dyed his mother's white robe red.

"Forrest Gump! Forrest Gump!"

Looking at her son's mouth that kept gushing out of blood and her body suddenly twitching, the mother was panicked.

However,

This mother, who was frightened by her son's sudden change, did not know that in the nearby corner, several pairs of eyes were flashing cold light towards them.

"The experimental subject is strange. Immediately implement the Z plan. After completion, evacuate immediately. The group of monsters in ZAFT are here!"

As the cold sound rang out, a cross cursor also fell from the void on the mother who was trying to awaken her son.

"Target lock. Please indicate."

Holding the sniper rifle smoothly, the sniper lurking in the darkness asked coldly.

"Attack allowed..."

However, at the moment of ordering, a thick smoke suddenly burst out from the cement wall that hid the sniper and a deafening explosion.

"02, answer quickly! 02!" The eyes hidden in the dark stared at the floor where the sniper was on, until a huge steel figure appeared from the rolling smoke, then turned around and said with hatred: "Let's take a look! The unknown funnel and the monsters!"

Shin-Aoki checked the floor that was smashed by the Pulse Gundam Vulcan through the sensor, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the sniper was dead.

"This is Zhen Feiniao. A young boy with an unknown disease was found, and he was confirmed to be 6-8 years old. He is currently accompanied by a woman suspected of his mother."

"Minerva received it. A medical team will go there later. Please confirm and protect the subject temporarily."

"learn."

Shin-Aoi nodded, indicating that she had received a new order.

This is the fifth unknown patient who was discovered and dealt with by Shinko himself since the beginning of the battle.

At the beginning, all the Minerva pilots, including Aslan's three FAITH, thought they were just extreme reactions that were frightened.

In previous battles, there have indeed been similar cases. Although these cases are all twitching all over the body and vomiting blood in the mouth.

However, Aslan, Masato and others, who were focusing on fighting the defenders, did not put their energy too much on these people who fled from military facilities and fled to the refuge.

In this situation, it was not until ZAFT arranged an emergency contact between the city's intelligence personnel, that Captain Minerva and Talia discovered that the city was currently being shrouded in a terrible plague.

The time when this plague occurred was a few days ago when the Minerva launched its attack. The main body of the plague was actually a child under the age of 10. Apart from this, no one was infected.

It seems that this unknown plague has a high degree of self-help selectivity, and children under the age of 10 are specially selected to be infected.

"Birth, biochemical weapon?" Arthur stood in his position coldly, screaming.

"Calm down! Arthur. We don't understand the situation yet." Talia scolded Arthur and looked at the avatar of the intelligence officer on the main screen and said, "I'm very sorry! This ship is in combat now and cannot be distracted from other things for the time being."

The intelligence personnel were not discouraged by Captain Talia's statement, but instead gave a new information.

"What? In addition to the forces that are still staying on the third line of defense, the enemy has reduced all their forces and is ready to defend the fortress dozens of kilometers away from the city?"

Facing the new information provided by intelligence personnel, Captain Talia suddenly felt a headache.

The plague is unknown and the enemy shrinks its troops. No matter how you look at the relationship between the two, it is just for the Minerva. No, it should be digging a hole for ZAFT or even PLANT.

Otherwise, why did the plague quietly occur a few days before the Minerva attack? It did not break out suddenly after the Minerva attacked?

"Why should I trust you? Although I am FAIHT now, there are three other FAITHs in the Minerva. My opinion does not represent everyone."

Despite a trace of trust in his heart, Captain Talia made a conservative decision.

ZAFT and PLANT have too many bad reputations. Even if this unknown plague was hit by ZAFT and PLANT, Talia didn't want to, and did not dare to take the life of the entire ship as a bet.

However, the next moment, a person appeared on the screen that Captain Talia unexpectedly appeared.

"Captain. This compatriot's words are believed. I just drove the Savior Gundam to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance and found that the enemy was indeed shrinking its troops. It seemed that I wanted to stay in the newly built military fortress."

The one that appears on the screen is Aslan.

He didn't even wear a helmet and was directly exposed to the environment with a high risk of infection.

If the unknown plague does exist, Aslan is at risk of being infected at this time. Even if this unknown plague is temporarily selected, children under the age of 10 will only be selected.

Captain Talia turned his head and looked at Arthur, and the meaning was self-evident.

Arthur quickly shuddered and quickly confirmed the information sent back by Aslan.

"Captain, the situation is true."

Arthur's words made Captain Talia feel even heavier.

There is no doubt that

It's over here,

The incident that happened in this city was indeed aimed at the Minerva.

"Arthur. Send an emergency medical team to set up epidemic prevention points as fast as possible! In addition, report the situation here to the highest review committee and also to our new friends."

Captain Talia clenched his fists tightly and said fiercely: "Now this situation is no longer something that a warship, Minerva, can solve."

After watching Captain Talia react quickly, Aslan nodded and said, "I will arrange for them to search for patients in the city. At the same time, I will drive all the enemy MS out of the city with the other two FAITHs."

"Well. Please! Aslan." This is the most appropriate method at present. Captain Talia thought silently.
