Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Chapter 45: Lamba Lal Escapes

"So, Amuro, I want you to fly the core fighter to high altitude and make contact with the land battleship. I will provide you with data and guide the artillery fire on the ground."

After Eli said this, Amuro showed an expression of disbelief.

It would undoubtedly be very dangerous for a single machine to face the attack of the entire defense line.

This is still the case even with the protection of the White Base and two support MSs.

"Let me provide the bombardment data! The Gundam's performance is better than the Land Combat Gundam, so I should be the one to go!"

Amuro immediately patted his chest, trying to show how reliable he was.

To be fair, this should be the more correct choice.

Now it is clear that Amuro's piloting skills are better than Eli's, and the Gundam's performance is also better, allowing Amuro to be more effective on the front lines.

"Amuro, you may not understand now, but I cannot let you go to such a dangerous place. Whether it is out of selfishness or morality, I cannot let you go to such a place."

Eli did not explain clearly what selfishness is and what human ethics are.

But Amuro could understand what Eli wanted to say.

He was still young, still a teenager, and was being taken care of by Eli, who didn't want him to be in danger.

"I'm not a child anymore, Lieutenant Eli, you understand, I'm a soldier, a Gundam pilot!"

The small dispute between the two immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hangar.

Everyone knows that the safety of the entire ship depends on these two people. If they quarrel and create a rift, everyone will be in panic.

Eli realized this and gave the surroundings a reassuring look, then reached out his hand and pulled Amuro closer.

Eli rubbed Amuro's head.

"You are still growing into an adult. Until you really grow up, these things are not your turn to do."

Party members step out, especially those over 50 years old.

This is definitely not a plot that only happens in movies.

"Now……"

"boom!"

When Eli was still trying to comfort Amuro, an explosion suddenly occurred, and the hull could even feel the vibration.

"what happened!"

Eli immediately went to the ship's communication channel and opened it to ask the bridge.

It was Mile who answered the call. Behind her, Brad could be seen loudly confirming the situation with the people on the bridge.

"Someone used explosives to blow open the outer armor of the White Base and ran towards the prison!"

Mile immediately and concisely told Eli the current situation.

“No, Lamba Lal has been rescued now!”

"Where are the casualties?"

Eli asked quickly.

"Not yet. Everyone is staying at their combat posts and not paying attention to the prison."

Eli breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there were no casualties for the time being.

"I'll go now!"

Eli drew his pistol and immediately ran in the direction of the prison.

"Don't come here!"

Eli shouted to Amuro who tried to follow.

He was running in the passage, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Is it that Lamba Lal has a locator on him, or is it that Artesia...

Before Eli could make his own answer between the two, a figure appeared in front of him at the end of the passage.

It was Lamba Lal!

Eli immediately pointed his gun at Lamba Lal.

"That's enough, go back to your cell!"

Eli said angrily.

But soon, other people came out from the direction where Lamba Lal came from, also raised their guns and aimed at Eli, and immediately pulled the trigger!

"Da da da"

After four gunshots, Eli found that he was not hurt at all.

The bullets fired by the man who appeared later all hit the ceiling.

However, Eli's counterattack was successful.

A pool of blood was spreading on Lamba Lal's right arm.

Why the right arm? Because Lamba Lal stretched out his hand to pull the muzzle of the gun of the man who came later upwards, so that Eli could survive.

"Put down your guns!"

Lamba Lal grabbed the man's gun and slowly pushed it down.

"Harmon, let me talk to him."

The visitor was none other than Rambal Lal’s wife.

Harmon looked into Lamba Lal's eyes, and found that on his gray face, there was a pair of eyes that were brighter than before.

Harmon was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Lamba Lal then let go of his gun and faced Eli, who was still holding the pistol.

"Let me go."

"Daydreaming..."

"Not a daydream!"

Ramba Lal interrupted Eli and looked him straight in the eyes without changing his expression.

He completely ignored the gun in his hand.

Eli realized this.

"Let me go. I won't stay on Earth any longer. I will return to space, to Zeon."

"Will you continue to be an accomplice?"

"No, I will go as a warrior to change Zeon. I still can't tell who is right and who is wrong between Deiken's ideas and Zabi's ideas. But what I know is that this war should definitely not continue. I will return to my country and hasten the end of the war in my own way."

With each word, Lamba Lal moved forward until his chest was pressed against the muzzle of the gun in Eli's hand.

"If you don't want to believe me, then just shoot me. I think I trust you, and you are the one who can change something."

Even though his wounds were bleeding, there was not a trace of pain on Lamba Lal's face.

There was only determination, and Eli could believe his hope.

"…what made you suddenly realize this?"

Seeing such a sincere attitude, Eli was basically willing to believe Lamba Lal in his heart.

But he asked again in the end.

"On this ship, I saw people who should not be part of the war, and I also saw people who I was willing to change for them."

The former should refer to Amuro.

But Eli didn't know whether the latter referred to Artesia or someone else?
The other person here is actually Eli himself.

Because the look in Lamba Lal's face when he looked at him was too sincere and eager.

Eli looked at Lamba Lal’s face, which was weathered but had a new sparkle.

Eli slowly retreated, the gun in his hand slowly dropping.

After taking a final deep look at Lamba Lal, Eli suddenly ran in another direction.

“Ramba Lal is over there!”

The other people who were chasing him did not suspect anything and ran in that direction with Eli.

"Let's go, Lamba."

Harmon came closer and held Lamba Lal's left hand.

Lamba Lal took a last look at the direction Eli left, turned around and ran out of the white base with his wife and subordinates. After joining the people who were waiting to pick him up, he immediately left the white base.

"I will change."

Harmon said this as he was bandaging Lamba Lal's wound.

"I always believed in you. Always."

Harmon leaned forward and kissed Lamba Lal gently on the cheek.
