【Respect】The Beautiful Future

Munakata and Suho stood in front of the window in the corridor of the ward building, and outside the window was the busy street.The bright sunshine flooded the land, vehicles kept coming and going, and sirens sounded faintly, which was not affected by the war of the previous few days.And the focus of their attention is on one of the teams.

The white vehicles painted with the red stamp of the Chinese Federation kept a fixed distance in an orderly manner, cutting the traffic like a white sharp knife, and headed towards the city gate at high speed.

Want to go back to the institute?

"Hey, he's gone." Suddenly a voice came in, and the doctor came over with a teacup and looked out the window.

Zongxiang moved two steps to the side of Zhou Fang to make way for the doctor, and repeated after hearing the words: "Really?"

The doctor turned his face sideways, looked at Munakata with a smile and bent his eyes, and asked without answering, "Kushina's eye was injured in the battle on the outskirts of the city a few days ago, right?"

"Oh? Why do you ask that?" Munakata looked at Zhou Fang indiscriminately, and calmly turned his eyes back to the doctor's face.

The doctor shrugged and smiled gently, "Oh, don't be vigilant, I'll just ask casually."

"It's nothing. I just ran into it on the road, but fortunately, I was rescued by the white mecha who rushed over, so I had a chance to escape into the city." Munakata replied without changing his face, pushing his glasses.

The doctor nodded, "I guess so." He moved his gaze out of the window, and the convoy of the research institute was out of sight, "After they withdraw, they will be protected by the government, and they will not release any news to the public. Guarding against another attack by the Alliance Army is exhausting, but starting today, I can live an infinitely rotten life again."

"Hehe, in a way, it's actually a good thing to start a war." The doctor commented lightly.

Zhou Fang was noncommittal to his words, and lazily raised his eyelids to look over, "How about today?"

"You don't read newspapers just by looking at this gentleman," the doctor selectively ignored Zhou Fang's expression, "The Alliance sent General Yu Zhang Xun to support that day, and he arrived today." He paused with a brisk smile, if Thoughtfully, he said, "General Yuzhang's arrival is even more shocking. What are we hiding here?"

Even though it was a question, I didn't intend to wait for anyone to answer.The doctor finished drinking the water in the glass, stretched his arms, turned around, said goodbye, and planned to leave.

Zhou Fang stopped his footsteps, "We're leaving for a while, Anna will leave it to you."

The simple and direct command tone did not arouse the dissatisfaction of the good-natured doctor. He tilted his head to look over, and couldn't help shaking his head.

The warm orange sunlight overflowed from behind the two standing shoulder to shoulder, drawing warm outlines on the dark blue and red, as if to blend the two colors together.Their shadows were cast on the wall, and they were reflected in overlapping gestures.It only takes one glance to tell that these two are one and the same, unlike any other being.

Simply standing still makes people can't help but look up to peep, and the heavy loneliness that they carry makes it difficult for those who try to get closer to breathe.

From the first time he saw these two people, he was attracted by their unique temperament.They obviously didn't do anything, but they could clearly feel their strength, which made people want to follow and support them.That's why he said so much on his own initiative.

Almost like a king.

But it's good, he thought idly, there were two people in front of him.

The doctor withdrew his thoughts, pursed his lips and said casually: "Please rest assured, it is our duty to take care of patients, not to mention that you have paid all the expenses."

It seems that the autumn colors were dyed overnight, and the leaves were withered and yellow, and the ground was covered with golden colors, covering the road in front of the institute.The bleak wind blows with a hoarse sound, rolling up dead leaves and circling, adding to the deserted atmosphere.

The ruins of the perception testing room had been cleared away, leaving only an open space awkwardly facing the door.It is not appropriate to say that it is an open space. There is a bunch of lilies alone on the ground, and the white petals are still stained with dew. It seems that the person who put the flowers left for a while.

Zhou Fang glanced slowly, and suddenly stopped when his eyes passed by, frowned slightly, bent down and picked up a work card under the bouquet.

On it is a gentle and beautiful young face, which is different from the rigid and serious ID photos, and the young man with short silver hair smiles softly.A sentence was written on the blank space of the document.

"Munakata," Zhou Fang handed over his work card, "What do you mean?"

The alliance implements a bilingual system, and each district has the right to use the original language, just like the various documents in the Japanese district are marked in both Chinese and Japanese.And the sentence on the certificate is in German.

Munakata took it over, a trace of regret flashed across his plain expression after seeing the content clearly, and he pressed the ID back under the bouquet, "I hope the whole world will be happy. The meaning of that sentence."

Zhou Fang made a long ah, but didn't say anything more.

There was the sound of shoes crushing dead branches behind them, and they turned around to look.A middle-aged man in a white robe walked in holding another bouquet of white flowers.Seeing them stunned, he frowned and said in disbelief: "You guys are back?!"

"Don't you want us to come back?" Munakata smiled.

The researcher didn't pay too much attention to Munakata's words, and sneered casually, "That's right, you test subjects have nowhere to go." Zhou Fang stared at him with narrowed eyes, half of what the researcher said was guilty under his gaze, and he broke out in a cold sweat He popped up and hurriedly put down the flowers next to Weitzman's.Turning around to face them again, but avoiding their eyes, he said: "General Yu Zhang will come to the research institute recently, and he must hand over some results. Dr. Arakawa said that if you come back, you will take you to the operating room and follow me."

The blunt and rude tone is the expression of everyone here's disdain for the experimental subject.

Munakata was still smiling while holding his glasses, and said politely: "May I ask where Mr. Weitzman has gone, I have some questions for him."

The researcher froze for a moment, with an embarrassing expression on his face, "I resigned and left. I didn't see anyone when I arrived, but this is the only one left. I don't know where it went." After finishing speaking, he looked at Munakata Reiji, "Speaking of which, you're carrying a tennis ball on your back. What's the bag for?"

Munakata glanced at the things on his back, and politely replied: "It's just personal belongings."

The researcher clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything else. He turned and walked towards the building, "Follow me and go to the operating room."

Zhou Fang ignored him, but glanced sideways at the people around him. Munakata had already walked towards the building, he exhaled annoyedly and followed Munakata's footsteps slowly.

"I remember that all the operations were done in Kyoto." Munakata said suddenly again.

The researcher paused slightly, and said perfunctorily: "This is the final operation, and only after it is completed will you be a perfect soldier."

"Really?" Munakata raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile, "Do we have the right to know?"

"You don't need to understand, just obey." The researcher replied impatiently, more like trying to cover up something.

"Is that so?" Munakata pushed his glasses and stopped.

"It's so unclear, I can't agree to your request." Zhou Fang also stood still, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at the statue in front of him with a polite smile, and gracefully slashed the researcher's back with a hand knife. neck.

Guided by beast-like intuition, Zhou Fang turned his head to look at the building.A figure behind the window of the building was staring at them in a daze. After being discovered, he hurried away as if waking up from a dream.

Zhou Fang clicked his tongue, and turned his gaze back to look at the statue that put the researcher to the ground.Munakata straightened the tennis bag he was carrying, "I didn't ask anything. Let's go, Suho." His tone was regretful, but his expression didn't mean that.

Zhou Fangzun threw KnightMare's key casually, and the silver-white bright spot drew a parabola in the air and was accurately caught by Munakata.

Arakawa Zebei sat in the office, resting his mind with his hands on his forehead and his eyes closed.The hurried footsteps in the corridor interrupted his rest, he frowned slightly, and the violent knock on the door made him open his eyes irritably.He took the glasses from the table and put them on, suppressing the anger in his heart and allowing the other party to come in.

After getting permission, the other party almost rushed in, and the researcher blushed anxiously and shouted at him: "Doctor!! K-1001 and K-0813 are back!!"

Arakawa Zebei slightly raised his eyebrows, and criticized the impetuous intern researcher, "It's a good thing to come back, and I will take it for surgery."

"No!! No!!" The researcher struggled to make it clear, but was so anxious that he had no idea, "They left again!!"

Arakawa froze for a moment, then understood what he meant.He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, stood up and ordered: "What's the matter with running back to the front and letting go?!"

"All the other outstanding soldiers are dispatched, so it won't be a problem to stop these two people, right?" Arakawa's face was gloomy, and the researcher nodded in a panic to convey.

There was a tearing pain in his head, Arakawa closed his eyes.

Because he has the perception data of K-0813 and K-1001, he gave the order cruelly.What is it now?

... Do you really want to let your hard work go to waste?

Arakawa Sawakita collapsed on the chair and sighed in pain.

When a large number of Knightmare chased after them, the two were not far from the research institute.The data map as a united front dutifully shows the numerical offensive in the rear, and at the same time exposes their position.

Due to the lack of command, the leaderless experimental subjects just chased them, but everyone who participated in the battle knew very well: if the two people in front join hands, even if their number is ten times larger, they will not be a threat.They are just some experimental products without human rights. They have no choice but to obey, even if they resist, they have to play.It's just that all the experimental objects slowed down tacitly, and the shooting target also avoided the two Knightmares in front, and randomly hit the gravel next to it, splashing flames.It seems that the situation is violent, but in fact it is just a show.

——If you can still leave, let’s go.It also counts as gratitude and respect to you.

"Doctor..." The assistant looked at Arakawa who was staring at the data map expressionlessly, and felt even more uncertain.Losing important experimental subjects one after another, the atmosphere of the research institute is almost that of throwing a match that can directly explode.

The distance between the experimental subject and Munakata and Zhou Fang got farther and farther.

"I remember that the modified Knightmare can start remote self-detonation in an emergency?" Arakawa said suddenly, his voice seemed to be condensed into ice edges.

"Doctor!!!" The assistant exclaimed, and couldn't help holding down Arakawa Zebei's arm, "It's really nothing like this!!"

"Do you think... if you let them go, what will be left behind?" Arakawa looked at him coldly, and asked without a trace of emotion.

The assistant murmured, unable to say anything for a while, but still clenched Arakawa's arm tightly.Everyone in the room stared at Arakawa, waiting for him to make a decision.Everyone can feel that this doctor has changed. Standing here at this moment, he completely abandoned his own humanity and pity to make the most objective decision.

"We can't make any mistakes. Don't you know their abilities?" Arakawa pulled out his arm coldly and walked into the control room.

The experimental subjects couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they received the retreat order.

"Munakata," Su Fang's voice came from the earphones, "They're leaving." Munakata Reiji and Zhou Fangzun stopped Knightmare beside the mountain road.

"Although I haven't come into contact with that doctor, he is not someone who would give up so easily." Munakata's voice still had a faint sarcasm.

Hearing his familiar tone at this moment, Zhou Fang let out a muffled laugh in a good mood.The lights in the cockpit flickered suddenly, but it didn't escape Zhou Fang's eyes very quickly.

"Leave the operating cabin." Almost at the same time, Munakata's voice sounded in his ears, and he also felt that something was wrong.

As soon as the voice fell, before there was time to move, the lights in the control cabin went off with a bang, leaving only one red button glowing red faintly, accompanied by the mechanical sound of ticking, which made people feel even more ominous.

Zhou Fang kept activating the emergency escape system but there was no response. The sound of tick-tock echoed in the small space, and the blood-red light lit up his golden eyes.

Munakata activated the emergency escape system the moment the lights went out, but there was still no response.He took the tennis bag on the side and pulled out Sirius from it.The cold sword was dyed with red light, Munakata thrust the sword into the hatch with his backhand, and sparks burst along the scratches.

Munakata Reisi jumped to the ground, just as he raised his sword to help Zhou Fang, he heard a 'bang', and the flaming man had already arrived beside him.

"What a savage." Munakata pushed his glasses as a compliment.

"Ah."

The ticking stopped abruptly, and the two stared at Knightmare warily.

"boom--!"

The mech blasted out brilliant flames, and the scorching breath swept across the surroundings in an instant.Zhou Fang instantly stood in front of Munakata and pushed him back a little.The air waves with the breath of steel pushed away, and the orange-red flames rushed towards the front!Munakata raised his hand to block the glare of the glare in front of his eyes, and tried to reach out with the other hand to hold Zhou Fang in front of him, but was pushed out two steps by the violent air wave.He stepped on the edge of the cliff, almost in the air.

Zongxiang leaned forward to stabilize his figure, but the ground under his feet suddenly sank a little, and before he could react, he fell completely!He also lost his center of gravity and fell off the edge of the cliff as he leaned forward, he only cared about the figure in front of him that melted into the flames.

"Zhou Fang—!"

Two people were walking on foot on a not-so-flat mountain road.The figure in front of her was straight, her shoulder-length blue hair was well suppressed by a military cap, and she was dressed elegantly in a blue military uniform, but the collar buttons were casually unbuttoned, revealing fair skin and a well-shaped collarbone.The man behind was a little older, and his military rank was not as high as that of the major general in front. A striking scar on his face made him look a little scary.

"I still don't understand why you insist on walking up, the mountain road is rugged, let alone the road is long."

"Intuition." Yu Zhangxun walked leisurely with a smile.

"Intuition?!" Shanjo Gangyi always had a hard time understanding his thoughts.

Yu Zhang was obviously used to it, nodded and replied, "Sanjo, I'm looking for a sword."

"Can't I?" Shanjo asked.

Yu Zhang chuckled again, "You are not worthy." It was natural to say such words bluntly, he paused and added: "You are not sharp enough, it is good to be my sword. But I want What I was looking for was a sword of the country."

Shanjo was silent for a moment, "But what kind of sword can there be on this uninhabited mountain road? What we are going to is not the army but the research institute. Isn't it all a group of guys who can only hold pens but can't lift guns?"

Yu Zhangxun stopped and shook his head in disapproval. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a loud noise from above.Shanjo stood in front of Yuzhang resolutely and vigilantly, and Yuzhang pressed his shoulders, raised his chin to signal him to look forward.

A white figure fell from the cliff above, clinging to the broken wall and falling, bursting with fierce flames along the way.

Shanjo narrowed his eyes and the other party got closer, seeing the man's movements clearly, his eyes widened in surprise.For a moment, I didn't know whether to say that I was crazy or I was too confident in my own strength.

All the way down, Munakata Reishi inserted the Sirius in his hand into the cliff, and climbed up the cliff to reduce the impact.As Weitzman had promised before, the Sirius recreated with special materials split the sharp rocks and forcibly drew a crack on the cliff.The violent friction burned a trail of sparks and scorched the dry weeds on the cliff.

Habari stared at Munakata almost excitedly.He moved methodically, and still staggered when he hit the ground.Munakata pulled out the Sirius that was stuck in the rock—the sword was not damaged at all, and it was still sharp.Zong Xiang straightened up holding his sword and looked up. He knew that there was someone below, but he couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he saw the person clearly.

Shan Tiao admired secretly in his heart, the man was a bit embarrassed, but still acted gracefully and well.It's just that when those eyes looked over, he couldn't help feeling a sense of repulsion in his heart, just because of the sharpness and depth contained in those violet eyes.

Yu Zhangxun's smile deepened, he glanced at the cautious Shan Tiao, and said with a smile, "I just said that I can find that sword."
