Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

Shin Asuka and Lei came to a basement.

The turbid air was oncoming, mixed with a little musty smell, and there was a chemical odor that came from nowhere.

The light dimly illuminates the long passage from the entrance of the stairs.

For a building that has been abandoned for a long time, this place is surprisingly neat.

There was a door next to the beginning of the aisle. Ray stretched out his hand and nudged it. He formally raised his gun to look inside the door, but quickly put it down and walked in.

There seems to be no half-figure in this room, only a thick darkness permeates it.

The light from the door shone slightly, and the equipment in the room could probably be identified.

Lei walked a few steps into the room and stopped suddenly.

Hearing him take a short breath, Shin Asuka reflexively fumbled for the switch by the door, and with a snap, the light turned on.

Does this kind of ruin still have electricity?

Zhen Asuka was suspicious, and narrowed her eyes to adjust to the light.

"What's here for...?"

He saw equipment such as large computers and measuring instruments, as well as an operating table with a surgical light, and a slender glass container behind it.

Those cylindrical transparent tanks rise from the floor to the ceiling, and the liquid seems to be filled with disgusting objects.

Before she could see what those were, Ma Asuka first noticed that Lei was squatting on the ground.

"thunder?"

Zhen Fei Niao hurried to him and saw him half kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest, breathing quickly.

"Ray... What's wrong with you, Ray!"

True Asuka hurried forward to help.

At this time, Lei seemed to be having difficulty breathing, his face was pale, his expression was in pain—perhaps fear? And twisted.

Zhen Asuka was so frightened that she quickly supported him.

Seeing that Lei's situation was becoming more and more unstable, Shin Asuka dragged Lei out of the research institute.

After jumping into the cockpit, Shin Asuka hurriedly opened the communication channel with the mothership.

However, it was also at this time that Lei was dazed and found a few figures shaking in the distance. When he tried to see clearly, his vision gradually fell into darkness.

"No, I'm really not uncomfortable..."

When Lei opened his eyes, he heard the voice of Ma Asuka arguing with the mothership medic from outside the curtain.

"That's what I said, but it's better to be careful. Although no toxic gas or virus has been detected in that building and its surroundings, but..."

Speaking of which, the military doctor paused for a while, probably examining something, and then continued: "...It's always hard to say such things."

Zhen Asuka was helpless, so she had to be examined obediently.

"Speaking of which, the captain is too careless, how can you just send the two of you to scout such a place..."

The military doctor seemed to be dissatisfied, but when he heard it, Asuka immediately defended: "We checked all around when we went in!"

Yes, Ray was alert when he entered the house—

It's just that I never imagined that there would be those things in the house...

Thinking back to the scene he saw at that time, Lei, who had recovered from his calm, suddenly felt his heart tremble, and the irregular throbbing reappeared.

The hazy reflections on the surface of the operating table, the stench of formalin...and the soaking stuff in those glass jars...

The ruins reminded him of the distant past.

Emotions that had been put away from the back of his mind once again came to his mind, like a vicious beast that gnaws at people's hearts.

He tried his best to restrain himself, trying to get rid of this emotion, thinking about the person who took him away from that place, and another person who always smiled kindly to him——

Thinking of him, and—Gilbert...

When the fair and upright face and smile appeared in his mind, Lei suddenly felt relieved.

Ray opened his eyes again and sat up from the bed.

Ma Asuka, who had just finished the inspection and was still arranging her clothes, immediately turned her head in surprise.

"thunder…"

Seeing the concerned look he gave him, Lei nodded to him, then turned to the military doctor and said, "I'm sorry. I'm fine now, thank you very much."

The military doctor also looked worriedly at Rayleigh putting on his uniform, and responded, "Really? Do you want to lie down again?"

"No, I'm really fine."

Lei said loudly and turned to leave.

On the other side.

The Minerva has now landed in the facility that Zhen and Lei had scouted.

The searchlight hit the building, projecting the busy figures of the soldiers.

Noel and Aslan also followed the mothership to the open space in front of the institute.

"The internal inspection has been completed, the self-exploding devices have been completely removed, and no signs of biochemical abnormalities have been found."

After the pre-adjustment in the unknown organization was completed, the soldier in charge of entering the data reported to Thalia.

"OK, thanks."

Having said that, Thalia was also a little puzzled.

Arthur turned his head to think, and looked incredible: "So...how should you explain Lei's abnormal situation?"

When she heard Shin Asuka's panic-stricken report, Talia first thought of biochemical pollution, so she assumed that this was indeed the military development base of the Allied Forces, as the headquarters had expected.

For a full investigation, she ordered the mothership to be relocated here.

However, they did not detect any adverse substances enough to affect physiological conditions.

Nothing like poison gas, virus, or radiation, for example, and no contamination found.

The doctor who examined Lei and Zhen also reported that they had no such signs.

They are safe and sound, always lucky.

However, the headquarters' initial forecast did not deviate from it.

There are self-exploding devices everywhere here, and it seems to be used for other purposes besides the military.

After the risk factors were removed, the personnel launched a formal and large-scale detailed investigation, and soon reports came from all over the agency.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Aslan came to Noel and asked.

He found that since Noel came here, there has been something wrong with his expression.

"Huh? Nothing, it's just a little weird."

Noel shook his head upon hearing this.

This should be the expansion laboratory of the Phantom Pain Unit, so your genetic data is also in it?

Since the problem of the body's genetic breakdown was resolved, Noel didn't pay too much attention to these things, and he suddenly thought of this after learning the news.

But all of this has nothing to do with me.

Aslan didn't say much after hearing the words.

After confirming that there is no danger inside the base.

Thalia and the others walked into the laboratory together.

Following the path that Thunder and Asuka walked, everyone quickly came to the basement.

Walking into the room, Nuoer subconsciously frowned.

The odor permeating the aisle kept stimulating their sense of smell.

Bloody, rotten meat stench, weird chemical stench...

Even Aslan couldn't help frowning, this smell is very good.

The lighting in Noel's hand moved on the floor, only reflecting patches of thick stains—

With those things that are stacked on top of the thick stains.

"Well…"

As soon as he saw the scene under the light of the flashlight, Arthur's throat made a retching sound.

Shin Aslan stood behind Aslan and groaned like a moan.

Thalia, who has never been a man, was speechless, and Aslan was completely stunned.

Under the flashlight, two corpses fell on top of each other, one of them was a child who seemed to be about ten years old, his eyes became a pool of blood, and his thin hands and feet turned into a strange angle, stretched out on his back and fell to the ground.

The other is an adult man, with his head resting on the child's feet, his white clothes stained with blood, and staring at the door with empty eyes, his wounds are like his second wound. He opened his mouth, as if revealing a strange mockery to the crowd.

After watching for a while, Aslan saw the thing that the two of them would not let go of until they died.

The child held a blood-stained scalpel in his little hand, and the man held a pistol with a black light, which he held tightly.

Suddenly there was a hoarse cry above the head, which startled everyone, and quickly moved the light of the flashlight up to see, it turned out that some crows broke in somehow.

Arthur let out a sigh of relief.

When they regained their senses, they regained their energy and went around the room to take photos, carefully moving forward.

The computer screen, which was too late to turn off, was the only light source in the room, weakly illuminating the corpses in the room.

There are adults and children. Judging from the analysis of the corpses, the time of their death should be like a day or two.

The adults all wore white robes like researchers, with identification cards, while the children all wore plain robes of the same style.

Originally thought that all this was caused by foreign attacks, but when they saw the murder weapon lying on the ground in their hands, the reason for the destruction of this base became confusing.

They didn't look like they were defending against foreign enemies at all, but more like killing each other.

However, there are traces of foreign invasion outside.

For a while, they didn't know what was going on in this place.
