Captain, your ship has exploded again.

“We’re running out of water! We didn’t get any supplies when we arrived at Artemis.”

"So? You're planning to go to the wreckage to get frozen water?"

"Yes, it's almost lunchtime. We'll let everyone know later."

After discussing and confirming things on the bridge, Zhang Xun, Maru, and Mu returned to the restaurant for a meal.

Seeing that Milia and the others were talking about the lack of water, I took out a few bottles of water from my backpack and handed them over.

"I had prepared a lot of supplies on my ship beforehand. Although it's not enough for everyone, I can still share some with you."

What do you want to say when you see Frey?

"Don't even think about showering if you don't have enough time to bathe!"

Kira then entered, and Frey stepped forward to apologize for what had happened earlier.

Zhang Xun then told everyone to go to the bridge.

"We plan to go to the wreckage to resupply, and we hope you can also pilot the work capsule to assist with the construction work."

"We only take the necessary survival supplies and do not disturb the dead."

"So we can't touch the money lying there?" Zhang Xun asked dejectedly.

"We are doing this out of desperation, asking them to share some of our current necessities with us, just to survive and not to disturb the dead."

“We’ve never been poor! As long as the law doesn’t stop unclaimed property…” Zhang Xun said, holding his head.

"Enough! Kira, you keep an eye on Zhang Xun for me!"

Maru interrupted.

"Okay, okay, I'll just drive the UD4 there for transport, I won't do anything, alright?"

Upon reaching the edge of the ruins, everyone drove their respective equipment out of the cabin to collect supplies.

Watching Milia scatter paper flowers in the monitor, Zhang Xun felt a sense of urgency, like the Japanese sending origami cranes to disaster-stricken areas.

Boringly driving the UD4 back and forth between the wreckage and the Archangel.

Seeing several green beams of light, I realized Lux ​​Clyne had appeared. I went back to check and saw that everyone said she was all pink but actually cunning.

Back in the hangar, Zhang Xun joked with Kira.

"You always manage to salvage something! When will this captain bring back a spaceship? So I can restore my glory."

"It's about to be opened!"

Zhang Xun peeked out from behind, worried that if the plot changed and a burly man was brought back, it would be dangerous.

"Hello, Lux, hello!"

"Thank you, everyone, you've worked hard."

Zhang Xun immediately lost interest when he saw 16-year-old Lux.

Lux is already young, and she hasn't fully grown up yet, so she looks even younger.

The headlights hadn't grown much, so I turned around and looked at Maru's headlights for comparison. Well, some of them had grown a bit too much; they might need an air pump in the second season.

Zhang Xun turned around and went back to work, scavenging more items from the wreckage to reinforce the UD4.

Now, just a little bit of this and you're basically done for being single, you're practically shattered!

"Kira, how did you save Lux?"

“A King discovered us and we had no choice but to shoot it down.”

"Looks like ZAFT isn't a monolithic entity after all!"

"To be honest, I seriously doubt whether the Earth Forces were behind Junius 7. It was an atomic bomb! How did it get in? Wasn't it checked by security?"

Kira listened, completely stunned.

"If we follow the theory that the one who benefits the most is the murderer, then it was indeed the Earth Forces who bombed it, but someone else let them in."

"Even if the Earth Force can destroy one or two, it doesn't matter if there are more! We have plenty of nuclear weapons anyway."

"If you're going to bomb, target important locations. What can one Junius 7 agricultural satellite do? Most of the grain is transported from Earth; you're just bombing factories!"

Kira nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"The water here is deep!"

After completing the mission, Zhang Xun went to find the pilot to further modify the UD4. After deciding to upgrade the cockpit's defenses first, Zhang Xun planned to go back for dinner.

Seeing Kira and Lux ​​walking together on the road, he went up to greet them.

"Hey couple, what are you doing? Planning a candlelight dinner for two?"

Zhang Xun patted Kira on the shoulder and carefully examined Lux. Lux was truly terrifying at this moment!

"Ah, no, I'm taking Lux back for dinner."

"Would it make no difference if I were included?"

"it does not matter."

Zhang Xun strode towards the cafeteria, grabbed some food, and returned to Lux's lounge with Kira and the others.

"Here, these are some snacks I have stored on my spaceship."

He handed Kira and Lux ​​some potato chips and jerky from his backpack.

Zhang Xun was really hungry and quickly finished his food, then noticed the two of them gazing at each other with affection.

"Oh dear, I'm the third wheel. Sorry, you two talk."

After quickly finishing his tidying up, Zhang Xun left Kira and Lux.

Zhang Xun, who had gone out for a stroll to digest his food, heard that the advance rescue fleet had arrived.

Oh, looks like someone's going to turn evil soon! Should we get rid of her? Never mind, Kira can't unleash his full potential without her.

Zhang Xun leisurely planned to return to UD4.

I sat in the newly modified driver's cab, familiarized myself with the environment and controls, and looked at the two electromagnetic railguns, the same model as those used by Uncle Mu, that had been installed below.

The previous 45mm gun was practically a small water gun, but it still didn't cure my fear of insufficient firepower.

The number of missiles has doubled, from the original 24 or 8 to a uniform 48.

"All personnel, level one combat readiness!"

There aren't many epic battles in Gundam, but there are tons of smaller skirmishes!

Zhang Xun was the first to be ejected.

"There are so many grunts this time!"

After launching his attack, Zhang Xun unleashed his full firepower. In such a chaotic battlefield, the sooner the enemy on the other side died, the lower the danger to himself.

Before long, Mu's Möbius started smoking.

"How is Uncle Mu?"

"Thank goodness, leaving so quickly made me lose face!"

"Uncle, admit you're getting old!"

Before they could finish speaking, the vanguard's flagship's main gun exploded.

"Announce to ZAFT forces, this is the Archangel, a ship belonging to the Earth Alliance."

Upon hearing the announcement, Zhang Xun realized that Lux was being used as a hostage, so he returned to the Archangel, feeling bored.

Sitting by the railing, I watched Kira and Mu discuss the issue of using Lux as a hostage.

Kid! If Jia Xu were to join forces with the third-party ZAFT and the Earth Alliance, even Kruze would have to come and work for them.

During the break, I saw Kira, Lacus, and Sai talking in the corridor.

"What are you doing, kids? A party?"

Kira looked at Zhang Xun and said, "I plan to send Lux ​​back to ZAFT."

"Oh, little beauty, are you homesick? Come on, brother will help you go home."

"Thank you, uncle!"

This time it was Zhang Xun's turn to stagger. Karma, karma!

Sai, Zhang Xun, and Mirialia waited for Kira and Lacus at the locker room door.

As for why Zhang Xun didn't go in, it's because Lao Liu was still half-wearing his spacesuit and missed the beautiful scenery!

When Zhang Xun saw Lux come out with a big belly, he joked with an incredulous look on his face.

"I know you coordinators are amazing, but isn't it a bit much to say that you're pregnant for several months in just a few minutes?"

Everyone stared at Zhang Xun with dark expressions, and then Zhang Xun was escorted by UD4 to the hangar.

Shortly after being ejected, Athrun's Aegis Gundam came into view.

Take this opportunity to boost Lux's favorability. That pink-haired girl is very generous to Kira; wouldn't it be great to get some benefits from her later?

After handing over the hostages, Kira retreated, and Zhang Xun noticed a level 1 MS flying towards him from the opposite side.

Kruse is really honest. If I had launched missiles and then used the ship's guns to sink the Archangel, wouldn't that have been much easier?

Seeing Kruse turn back again, Zhang Xun returned to the Archangel, feeling bored.
