【Respect】The Beautiful Future

The Institute is located on a hill outside Tokyo, hidden in dense woods.The white Knightmare flitted quickly among the yellow and green leaves, and was led by the combat readiness captain to rush down the mountain to intercept the Union army.

There are few tall trees behind, and the withered and yellow grass cannot cover the land full of rocks.When the combat readiness captain at the front stopped, his voice came from the earphones:

"Everyone set up an R formation, surround the road, and shoot upwards to block it!"

Everyone changed their positions according to the words, but Munakata Reiji and Zhou Fang Zun Wenling still did not move, just looking at the position display on the monitor. Knightmare can barely hit the Alliance army in the air with the help of the angle of the hillside, but the equipment suppression is still too strong.

The coalition army, which was scattered in the air and kept firing down, concentrated the moment they saw them appear, and went right behind them, and the firepower of the assault guns also increased significantly.

However, within a few seconds of thinking, a series of warning sounds came from the earphones, followed by the blue symbol that originally represented Knightmare on the display screen turned into a red 'disappear', and then completely disappeared on the data map.

Starting from the approaching position of the Alliance Army, the Knightmare exploded continuously, and the burning flames burned all around. The iron armor that stood still a second ago has now become scrap iron scattered on the ground, with red blood faintly inside. Flowed out, dyed the grass red.

The captain's voice was close to roaring, piercing the eardrums through the earphones:

"Don't retreat! Stay here!"

"K-0813! K-1001! Make up the position! Quick!"

Zhou Fang had already pulled off the earphones and threw them aside, the sound flowing from the earphones was covered by the sound of gunfire.Dangerous lights danced in his gilt eyes, relying on a higher angle than the others, he fired at the Union army breaking through the defense line in the air.

Zongxiang frowned slightly, raised his hand to turn off the team channel, and the sound of simple explosions resumed in the earphones.He stood sideways in a hidden corner, and together with Zhou Fang, he shot down the golden mecha that broke through to the ground.The steel fell heavily on the ground, and the trees beside it were affected and burned blazingly, and the flames reflected the golden color.

only……

He moved his gaze to the front, and the white Knightmare was strafed and exploded before he could fire. At most, he only hit a few by luck, which was almost negligible compared to the huge casualties on his side.

Originally, the two sides had an equal number, but now there are only a hundred or so that have been wiped out.

This is no longer a war, but a massacre, and what they did was only a dying struggle before being massacred.like water off a duck's back.

Holding the joystick, Zhou Fang twisted the angle with such force that he almost broke it.He glanced across the display screen, but paused for a moment, and then withdrew his gaze for a moment, gave a heavy 'tsk', and ruffled his red hair irritably.

In the research institute.Dr. Arakawa felt a little relieved after they left, and his steady voice calmed the panic of others.

"We will withdraw to Tokyo and be protected by the defense forces. Bring important materials and lock them that cannot be taken away."

The researchers, including Weitzman, moved quickly and orderly back and forth between the building and the equipment van.

Arakawa put down the loudspeaker, looked at the data map projected in the air, and still frowned.Although no alliance army broke through and entered the research institute, the situation is not optimistic no matter how you look at it.Whether he can return to Tokyo city is also a question.

"Doctor! How are they going to deal with it!" The assistant's voice interrupted his thoughts, and he looked back after hearing the words.

The test subject children of the K-1200 order stood in front of the perception testing room, and gathered together to look at him in a daze.

The key to their battle.You have to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Just as Arakawa was about to speak, he was caught by a startled breath from the person in charge of projecting the data map.The heart beat violently for a moment, as if it had sensed something.He suddenly turned around, froze after seeing it clearly, and dropped the loudspeaker to the ground with a momentary unsteadiness in his hand. The sound of the drop was diffused, and the two sounds of "Kang Dang" echoed in a place full of people, but unexpectedly appeared lonely.Everyone stopped their work and looked over, and those who wanted to ask questions were silenced in an instant.

The Knightmare with serial number A1 on the blue symbol flashed twice on the map, and finally displayed red 'disappeared' in the warning sound, and disappeared on the map.

The serial number A1 represents the Knightmare of the combat readiness captain, which has the highest configuration among all mechas, and is the commander in this counterattack.With his disappearance, more than 60 Knightmares disappeared at the same time in the next second, and the dense sound of warnings tore away everyone's last hope in the silent research institute.

It was Arakawa who came back to his senses first, and ordered the data map to be closed.

Looking at it further, it will only make everyone more desperate.

"Continue your work. Let's walk from the back mountain and try our best to go back."

He turned around abruptly, turned his gaze to the group of children, and his eyes swept over them slowly and sharply.

Under his stare as if scratching the bone, a little girl among the frightened children was so frightened that she cried out, and the crying aroused the rage and restlessness in her heart.He shouted: "Quiet!"

Frightened by the sound, the little girl took two steps back, pursed her lips and held back, but there were still subtle sobbing sounds.The children around seemed to be infected by fear or frightened by the harsh voice, their thin bodies trembled slightly, and tears welled up in their eyes.

The researchers next to them looked helplessly at the group of children. After all, none of the big men had ever coaxed children, and they had spent almost their entire lives on research.

Kushina Anna walked over several children with small steps and walked up to the little girl.Anna was slightly taller than her, stretched out her arms to gently embrace her, and carefully smoothed the little girl's hair.The little girl choked up twice, hugged Anna tightly, and stopped crying.

Arakawa looked at the inconspicuous white-haired girl, and she also looked over.The purplish red eyes were pure and clear, without any emotion, but seeing him panicked.

"Doctor...they, how should we deal with them?" the assistant asked softly uncertainly, for fear of arousing his anger again.

Arakawa's fingers trembled, he raised his head and took a deep breath to calm down.He raised his hand, tore off his white robe and threw it on the ground, opened his eyes to look at his subordinates, and asked, "Which of you can operate Knightmare?"

An unremarkable person came out, he nodded, and pointed to the Knightmare at the side—it was prepared for the experimental subjects who died in the test before, and was placed aside because of their death.

The man didn't know why, but he still took the key and entered the operating cabin.

Arakawa looked at the experimental subject again.The children gather together around Anna who is holding the little girl, like little animals looking for a sense of security.The white-clothed and white-haired girl looked at him expressionlessly, while his eyes were bloodshot and burning, and he ordered hoarsely to the people in the control cabin:

"With the assault gun, they, and the test chamber, were destroyed."

Everyone was shocked and unable to move, watching their leader make such an absurd and bloody move.

"What are you looking at! Hurry up and do what you should do! Assault guns are ready, don't leave a single one!!"

This is the heart and soul of the Federation, it determines the direction of the war, and it must not be taken away, even if it is destroyed by itself, it cannot be taken away!

Arakawa seemed to be crazy, and urged again:

"I will bear all the responsibilities alone. You, now, just obey the order."

The hands of the man in the operating cabin seemed to be no longer his own, trembling uncontrollably, he gritted his teeth and held the operating lever, aiming at the children who were only seven or eight years old.

Weitzman suddenly woke up from the shock, pushed others away and ran forward, standing between Knightmare and the group of children, his chest was blocking the assault gun on the mechanical arm.The operator looked at him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Doctor!!! This kind of behavior not only makes our previous efforts in vain, but also devoid of conscience!"

Arakawa looked at this young man recommended by his family, his whole body was full of enthusiasm and hope, and his mind was full of a sense of justice that ignored the cruelty of reality.He ignored his questioning, but ordered in a low and hoarse voice, "Pull him away."

Three or four middle-aged men stepped forward to pull him back. Weizman struggled to break free, but he couldn't resist the strength of those people.He roared like a trapped animal, and finally softened his voice as if crying: "They are still children..."

"It's very pitiful to be used as a test subject. Now you don't even have the right to live?"

The person who was pulling him trembled when he heard the words, with infinite sorrow surging up, but the strength of his hands still did not ease. "Weitzman," one person said, "It's not that we don't have children. But this is for the sake of the overall situation. If these children are taken away by the Union Army, it's not just these who will die."

With his head down, Weitzman seemed to have lost his strength, chuckled lowly, and was pulled into the car.

Arakawa watched silently, then glanced at Knightmare again, "Hurry up."

The people in the operation cabin slowly raised their hands and pressed the button.

The cannon on the mechanical arm refracted light, and the children also felt despair, biting their lips and closing their eyes, tears slid down their cheeks.Anna Kushina hugged the little girl in her arms tightly, watching the light from the cannon's mouth gradually become dazzling...

Honor... Reiji... Come back quickly...

Come on... help us...

"Bang——" Another loud bang rang in my ears. After the death of the combat readiness captain, the situation has become overwhelming. What was defeated was not only the blockade line of defense, but also the psychological defense line of excellent soldiers.Many people simply waited to die, and in a blink of an eye there were only more than [-] Knightmare left.

Munakata Reisi frowned, but his subordinates were still moving in an orderly manner.

"Munakata." Zhou Fang's voice suddenly sounded next to his ears. The man's voice became even more hoarse and disturbing against the sound of gunfire. He was talking to Munakata through a private channel, "You are better at this."

When Zong Xiang heard the words, he immediately understood what he meant, and said with a snort, "I didn't expect you to have some brains."

It was actually reminded by him.

Munakata Reiji opened the team channel while observing the distribution of the remaining power on the data map.

An alliance mech swooped over, and the operator gave up and let go of the joystick. He smiled feebly, not knowing who he was mocking.The flames of that mech had already rushed towards him, and he still had time to close his eyes.

...? !

The operator suddenly opened his eyes again, without the expected shock or sting.

Only the white steel armor filled his field of vision, and it was another Knightmare that blocked the huge impact for him, and at the same time counterattacked back one after another, blowing the opponent into wreckage.In a hurry, he only took a look at the serial number displayed on the screen, 'K-0813'.

Before he could have any thoughts, a cold male voice came from the earphones.That voice is confident and calm, it doesn't seem like someone on the battlefield can make it, and it makes people calm down for no reason

"All the rest, please follow my command. If you still want to live."
