Chapter 42: The Concerto of Malacca, The First Greeting of the Ghost and the Mad Dog
The seawater had taken on an ominous dark green hue.
The Strait of Malacca, one of the world's busiest waterways, is now deathly silent, like a passageway leading to hell.
The massive Archangel slowly moved forward through the narrow channel, each echo of its sonar sounding like a death knell tolling in everyone's hearts.
Inside the bridge, the air was as solid as lead.
"Oh no, now we really have to drink tea, and it'll be the 'Overlord Tea' (a type of tea served to those who do not drink tea)."
Ling Yu's joke, which was even uglier than crying, still echoed in my ears.
And now, they are sitting at the tea table.
"They're here!"
Miriah Haw's scream ripped through the silence.
On the radar screen, countless red dots emerged from all directions, like a giant net tightening.
"Starboard, Dean's formation! In the air!"
"Port side, multiple heat sources! It's the 'Gun'! They're underwater!"
"Bow direction, 'Bob' missiles are being launched in salvo! Take evasive action!!"
boom--!
A violent explosion occurred on the starboard side of the ship, the shockwave causing the entire bridge to shudder violently. Murrue gripped the armrest of the captain's seat tightly, her face deathly pale.
The "black tea" that Xiao Ran prepared for them was scalding hot enough to melt steel.
This is not the loose blockade in the original work; it is a three-dimensional strangulation formation that has been precisely calculated and optimized.
Dean in the air was responsible for suppressing anti-aircraft fire, while Gun underwater was tearing at the ship's armor like a pack of wolves, and the missiles in front were launching a relentless saturation attack.
"Loangrin, fire!" Maru roared the order.
The positron cannon cleaved through the water, creating a brief breach, but more enemies immediately surged up from both sides of the breach, fearless of death.
"No, Captain! The firepower is too intense! We're stuck here!" Natal's voice carried despair for the first time.
Mu's Mebius Zero charged left and right in the air, but facing an enemy several times its size, two of its wired cannons were quickly blown up.
"Damn it! These guys are like mad dogs!"
Kira, piloting the Strike Gundam, was also locked in a fierce battle. He had just shot down a Deon when two Gundams burst out of the water behind him, their beam rifles grazing his shoulder armor.
The Archangel is in imminent danger.
Archangel Hangar
Translated it is——
PLAYER?
[ZAFT Hydra-class submarine - bridge]
"Sir! The C3I system has been attacked by an unknown data stream! The underwater command chain has been disrupted!"
"A gap has appeared in the encirclement! The 'target' is moving towards the gap!"
The adjutant anxiously reported that the battlefield was out of control.
However, Xiao Ran ignored him.
His gaze was fixed on a window that had just popped up on his personal terminal.
In the window, there is only one line of deciphered characters.
【PLAYER?】
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Xiao Ran's cold and composed expression shattered instantly, replaced by utter astonishment.
He suddenly looked up at the black dot of light that was raging wildly on the 3D map.
Ghost... Variable...
It turned out to be the case.
It turned out to be the case.
After the initial shock came a chilling mix of anger and ecstasy.
found it.
We finally found it.
That "kindred spirit" who always lurked in the shadows, constantly sabotaging his perfect plans.
"Sir?" The adjutant felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the unprecedentedly fanatical expression on his commander's face.
Xiao Ran did not reply to him.
He directly connected to the flagship's highest command channel, his voice cold yet filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"All units, abandon the Archangel."
"Target: Lock onto that black Zeon. Eliminate it first."
He paused, then added, word by word.
"Repeatedly, at all costs, prioritize elimination."
【Strait of Malacca - Battlefield】
Ling Yu had just kicked out another Gunn and was about to catch his breath.
The next second, a piercing alarm blared in the cockpit.
【WARNING! WARNING!】
The screen in front of him was instantly turned blood red.
Countless locking frames, from all directions, from the sky to underwater, densely covered his "ghost".
The ZAFT forces, who had been relentlessly pursuing the Archangel, seemed to have received some divine revelation at the same time.
They turned their guns around and directed all their fury at the small, half-crippled black Gene.
Ling Yu was stunned for a moment when he saw the lockout alarm flashing red on the screen.
Then, he grinned, revealing a crazy and radiant smile.
"Hey."
"Is that all you've done to say hello?"
"They're quite enthusiastic."
