Chapter 138 The Burning Towns and Villages The Meaning of Our Existence
"Captain, the matter has been settled. All the people in the village and town are wearing single clothes."

After standing on the sand dunes and observing the burning village for a while, Martin checked the villagers who were slumped on the sea of ​​sand outside the village.

They really didn't have any extra supplies to bring out.

Martin then walked up to Captain Bartfield, who was sitting in the jeep with his eyes closed as if he was taking a nap, and said.

"Hmm." He made a slight "hmm" sound from his nose as a reply. After Bartfield's eyelids twitched twice, he finally opened his eyes and looked at his adjutant Martin who was standing in an upright military posture in front of him.

"Let's go, let's go back." Bartfield said directly, waving his hand and preparing to leave immediately.

"Won't you wait any longer?" He was not sure what his captain was thinking. He wanted to make sure that the burning of the villages and towns would not happen after he and others left.

It was put out by those desperate villagers. Martin wanted to wait a little longer to let the fire in the village burn more vigorously.

There was a different light flashing in his eyes, and Bartfield stared at his dedicated adjutant dimly.

"The incendiary bombs were laced with fuel, so there was no way those villagers could put out the fire."

In fact, Bartfield was lying to his adjutant, but he still said it.

"I understand Captain."

In fact, as the adjutant of the Desert Tiger, Martin, who handles many things on a daily basis, also knows that the captain is lying to him.

But facing the look in his captain's eyes, Martin seemed to understand something.

So without further insistence, Martin nodded and jumped neatly into the jeep.

When the powerful high-horsepower military engine began to roar, he suddenly turned around to look at the villagers who were still crying in the desert.

Maybe
His heart twitched inexplicably, and Martin pulled his military cap down to cover his eyes and temporarily cover his conscience.

Just as Bartfield led his team away, he hurriedly saw from the camp that the fire in the village had illuminated the dark sky red.

Now that they have become partners of Desert Dawn, there is naturally no reason for the people on the Archangel to just sit there and do nothing.

Leaving Mu's Zero King to guard the house just in case, Wang Hu switched the Z Gundam into MA form and carried Kira's Strike Gundam to the top of the village first.

"Brother Wang Hu, the village is burning. Damn ZAFT, how could they do such a cruel thing!"

Witnessing the village on the ground that looked like a large torch, Kira was repeatedly challenged to the limit of his cognition by the so-called unscrupulous evil deeds of his compatriots.

At the beginning, because PLANT was promoting Bloody Valentine's Day all over the world, although Kira was in a neutral country, Obuko still had a little inclination towards his fellow Adjusters.

Even after the April Fools' Day crisis, he still had some bias in his heart.

But since I met Brother Wang Hu, since Brother Wang Hu truly lifted the fog that has blinded the world, and since I have personally experienced so many things.

"Bang!" Even though Wang Hu was sitting in the cockpit of the Z Gundam, he could hear the sound of Kira smashing the control panel.

"Brother Wang Hu, let's go after those ZAFT thugs. I must avenge this town."

With full murderous intent, Kira urged Wang Hu to take him to catch up with the retreating enemies who were raising a cloud of dust.

"Kira, we'll talk about revenge later." After lowering the height of the Z Gundam, Wang Hu signaled Kira to get off his back.

"Why?" Kira's tone was full of anger. He didn't understand why Brother Wang Hu didn't agree with his suggestion.

"Look down!" Seeing that Kira did not go down, Wang Hu simply shook the Strike Gundam on his back down.

Then he quickly switched into MS form and threw the priceless gun in his hand onto the sea of ​​sand without any hesitation.

Wang Hu used his cold mechanical hand, which was originally used to kill people, to lift up the sea of ​​sand that had become hot due to the burning flames.

Then Z Gundam spread handfuls of sand on the burning villages and towns, trying to use the sand to isolate the flames from the oxygen in the air.

"Brother Wang Hu?" Kira, with red eyes, watched Wang Hu's actions, and watched the fire slowly getting smaller because of Wang Hu's actions.

Suddenly, Kira felt a sense of security for the people.

Compared to revenge, Brother Wang Hu chose the people first!
"I understand, Brother Wang Hu, I was wrong!" Kira shouted loudly in the communication, and no longer mentioned revenge.

Following Wang Hu's example, Kira threw down the equipment in his hands, scooped up handfuls of sand and threw them towards the burning flames.

As long as the fire is extinguished quickly enough, there will definitely be something usable left.

Even if a little bit of supplies can be rescued, perhaps it can help the people in the sea of ​​sand to survive this difficult time!
"Captain!" He held up a telescope and looked at the Z Gundam and Strike Gundam that were rescuing the villages and towns.

Martin, who was being shaken all over the jeep, shouted in disbelief.

"The Allied Forces' Gundams are providing disaster relief? They're actually using Gundams for disaster relief?"

Hearing this, he closed his eyes and didn't look at Bartfield behind him, but his eyes opened slightly.

"Not the United Army, but the East Asian Army."

"What?" Martin thought that the East Asian Army was also a part of the United Army.

Is there any difference?

"You don't understand." In order to deal with possible pursuits for this operation, Bartfield also made preparations.

But now all his preparations were in vain, and if it were someone else, they might even feel frustrated.

However, Bartfield closed his eyes again, and for some reason a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Go back, Martin."

After preaching this to his adjutant once again, the Desert Tiger looked forward to the moment of meeting the East Asian Qilin even more.

"Wang Hu, Kira!"

When the large army of Desert Dawn arrived, the fire in the village was brought under control after the efforts of Wang Hu and his men.

So the moment Cagalli jumped off the car carrying the RPG, she saw the two people who had gotten off the Gundam were constantly helping the villagers who were kneeling on the ground to get up.

She looked puzzledly at the villagers surrounding Wang Hu and the villagers kneeling before Gao Da. The girl rushed over to Wang Hu, temporarily suppressing the behavior of these villagers in her heart, and asked Wang Hu loudly.

"Where did the Desert Tiger go? Take me there for revenge. I will make him pay the price."

"Pa." As soon as Kagali's voice fell, Wang Hu's raised hand also fell.

A crisp slapping sound was heard, and before Cagalli's bodyguards could protect their princess, Wang Hu had already given Cagalli a good beating in front of everyone.

"What are you doing, you bastard!"

Ahmed, a boy who had a crush on Cagalli but had never dared to say it, was the first to jump out.

He glared at Wang Hu and pointed the gun at him.

"Ahmed!"

Seeing this, Ashman rushed forward in a rage. He didn't want to see his own people attack Wang Hu, who had just saved countless villagers.

Ashman is older and more experienced and can become a leader. He knows very well that if Ahmed does something extreme during this period of time.

I’m afraid that before Wang Hu can do anything himself, the villagers at the scene will tear Ahmed apart.

"Chief Ashman?" The young boy didn't know that he had angered everyone. He turned around and looked at his leader in confusion.

However, there was no need for the Ashman leader to teach the boy the reason, as the boy's parents rushed out from the crowd on the ground.

Without mercy or reservation, the boy's parents beat Ahmed in front of countless villagers without showing any leniency.

"Mr. Soldier, please don't mind Ahmed's attitude." The boy's mother said to Wang Hu apologetically.

"No, it's okay." Faced with this situation, Wang Hu certainly didn't care and said to the boy's mother.

Wang Hu turned around and looked at the village where the fire was gradually dying out, then he said.

"The fire in the villages and towns has been extinguished, but the toxic smoke has not yet dissipated, and there must be residual high temperatures on the ground."

"Let everyone not be anxious, and do not pay the price of fearless lives at this time."

"If you are assured, wait until my colleague Captain Li Chengzhi arrives and you can collect as much supplies as possible under his command."

"Okay, okay, Captain Wang Hu has thought it through carefully."

Seeing that the nearby villagers treated Wang Hu, whom they had just met, as if he were a god, Ashman hurriedly expressed his agreement.

"Come here." Wang Hu gave a few more brief instructions, then called Kira and pointed at Cagalli.

He led the two to a nearby sand dune. "What did you see?"

"The burning village." Covering half of her red face, Cagalli said in a bad tone with anger in her heart.

"Damn Desert Tiger, Wang Hu, are you afraid?"

"Stupid." Wang Hu glanced at the girl with contempt, then looked at Kira.

“I saw people crying.”

I recalled the scene when I was controlling the Gundam to put out the fire. At that time, Kira was fully focused on the firefighting work.

But he could still see it on the display screen, seeing the villagers who regarded Gundam as a god.

Kira couldn't for a long time extricate himself from the respectful looks that the villagers showed to Gundam at that moment. He clenched his fists and felt that he had not done well enough!
"Next time, next time I swear I will never let this happen again!"

Kira looked at Captain Li Chengzhi, who appeared last with a lot of supplies, and watched him distribute the supplies from the Archangel to the villagers in an orderly manner.

At this moment, Kira had a deeper understanding of the military emblem on his head.

"Kira?" Following Kira's gaze, Cagalli dazedly put down her hands that were covering her face.

She grew up in the Orb chief's residence, and is very friendly and often walks around the Orb streets.

At the same time, a strange emotion arose in my heart.

"Now do you know what's wrong?"

Wang Hu looked at the different expressions of the two people in front of him. "We don't exist for revenge, we exist to protect them."

"East Asia?" Since the enemy had retreated, Mu had no reason to stay on the Archangel.

He joined the disaster relief team under the command of Li Chengzhi, and together with Malu beside him, he delivered the same supplies to the villagers.

It was his first time to rescue someone in a disaster area without a gun. Such a scene set off a huge wave in his heart and eyes.

"Thank you." Listening to the heartfelt thanks from every villager, Mu remembered Wang Hu calling him comrade.

"Maybe it would be nice to do something with some seeds."

Under the strange look from Malu, the smile on Mu's face was no longer that of a playboy but a gentle and harmonious smile.

He even squatted down and made faces, trying to make the crying children laugh, regardless of his image.

All of this is just to heal the pain in their young hearts as much as possible.

"Malu." After making the children laugh, he watched them return to their parents.

Mu stood up and spoke seriously to the beautiful captain beside him.

"They shouldn't have to hear the sound of gunfire when they grow up, and I think they shouldn't be frightened by the sound of festive fireworks."

"Huh? Captain Mu?"

With blinking eyes, Malu stared blankly at Mu, who seemed to have become unfamiliar to her.
