Four days have passed since Zaft burned the city. Desert Dawn and Archangel's group mostly extinguished the fire in the first morning, and it was appropriate for people to go to the town to search for unburned materials. In the following time, the Strike Gundam also played a significant role in it, opening up the collapsed house and moving the needed materials, of course, they did this at night.
The four-day collection did not make the situation much better. The refugees have all moved into the Desert Dawn base. Because of that, it is making the base that was not too large at first even more crowded. Various small tents are everywhere. The children ran around even more, and the joyful laughter of the ignorant ones also let the haze shrouded in the Desert Dawn slightly dissipate.
Because Murrue gave the order to help the refugees, the supplies of the Archangel began to be lacking. After all, with a large population, it is indeed impossible to support the stores of Archangel for too long. The Archangel and the Desert Dawn was lacking supplies. After discussing with them, they finally decided to hide their identities and spread them out to purchase supplies in the city controlled by Zaft.
Besides, the shortage of water Desert Dawn and the Archangel is also severe, and it has to go to the main cities that have been controlled by Zaft to purchase water. Of course, there are other more important things besides water sources, and this procurement must be done when the leader of the Desert Dawn, can be reached.
Xiao Ran even offered to go with Kira and Cagalli, saying that he wanted to watch this two-little rascal. He even followed these two siblings to a town more considerable than the burnt-down tower, although Xiao Ran did not Know what the name of this town is, this will not affect the shopping trip of the three at all.
Xiao Ran drove a jeep to follow behind Badgiruel and another vehicle. After entering the city, the two sides nodded and separated. When Kira saw the city for the first time, it seemed that it had not been warned. Influencing, the peaceful and lively town of Zaft could not help but be a little confused: "This is the city controlled by Zaft? It looks very lively and peaceful."
"Humph." Cagalli snorted and patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder: "You were Orb's teacher?"
"Um, yes." Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of the connection between his identity and the question raised by Kira.
Cagalli glanced at Kira and said, "Then sir, find a place to park the car and follow me."
"Haha, okay." Xiao Ran smiled. After seeing another corner of the lively road and entering an alley, he drove the jeep in and stop there. Cagalli then took Kira and Xiao Ran across several paths, and finally appeared in front of a vast crater.
Kira was stunned and stunned when he saw this vast crater. From the wreckage near the hole, they can determine that the original location of the hole should be a building about the same height as the nearby building, but now there is nothing but a large crater.
"Even if it looks peaceful, those things are all illusions," Cagalli said, she raised her head a little and looked up at the thing that surprised Kira. A mighty yellow land battleship stopped like this. In the city. Cagalli also added solemnly at this moment: "This is the true ruler of this city."
"Hey!" Xiao Ran gently pressed the heads of the two with his hand, and said with a chuckle: "You two little rascal, people will feel strange with your expression? Our task is to purchase things. These things are not something we should manage."
"I know, teacher." Kira pushed Xiao Ran's hand on top of his head with his hand, and quickly stepped back, afraid that Xiao Ran would put his hand up again. Cagalli was quite brave and straightforward. After she slapped his hand away, Xiao Ran walked away.
An angry glance at Xiao Ran, Cagalli raised her head and snorted, "I know how to do it."
Soon, the trio wandered around in several markets in the city. Since they couldn't buy too much at one time and it will cause the suspicion of the Zaft in this city, the three of them did not buy too much every time they purchased something. They were going like a family, gathering with so many things, and putting the items back in the vehicle. They keep going around, changing to another place to buy again and again. Although it is a little troublesome, there is nothing they could do right now.
After walking around the city for a morning, the space on the jeep was almost full. It was covered with a thick layer of canvas and parked in a place that would not be noticeable at all. The trio returned to the restaurant in front of the crater, ready to comfort stomachs.
Xiao Ran also noticed that the three of him seemed to have been staring at, and then slightly raised his head and glanced at the roofs of several nearby buildings, frowning and not talking, but his body was already intense. The preparations that Cagalli and the two rushed down also guarded against the Zaft soldiers in civilian clothes nearby.
After three barbecues were put on the table by the waiter, Xiao Ran directly picked up the seasoning on the table and sprinkled a little, rolled it up and put it in his mouth, and then Cagalli also sprinkled chilli sauce on her plate. After sauce, when preparing to recommend the same seasoning to Kira, a white seasoning bottle also appeared in front of the three of them.
"Wait a minute, put chilli sauce on the Turkish barbecue? It is common sense to put these yoghurts!"
"Who are you, who came out for no reason to listen to you." Cagalli was stunned for a moment, deliberately sent her roasted meat sprinkled with chilli sauce into her mouth and snorted softly.
"Oh my god, you are spoiling this kind of food." Andrew looked a little mad and immediately put the yoghurt in his hand in front of Kira: "Young man, you should listen to me. Turkish barbecue and yoghurt must be used together. It's a perfect match."
"Nonsense, chilli sauce is the perfect match!"
After Xiao Ran saw the emergence of Andrew, the Desert Tiger of Zaft, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not participate in the inexplicable dispute between Andrew and Cagalli. He just sat aside and watched the two perform with amused. The argument happens until Kira's Turkish barbecue sprinkled with several people's seasonings. Xiao Ran was embarrassed when he saw Kira, wandering how Kira could eat that kind of food. Sure enough, Coordinator and Natural are completely two varieties.
Andrew sat next to Xiao Ran's trio familiarly and turned his head to look at Xiao Ran. Holding his hat with one hand on his legs and looking at Xiao Ran: "Hey, you are their guardian? Are you buying so many things for a party?"
After speaking, Andrew also looked at the last batch of food purchased by Xiao Ran and others before they came.
"Yes." Xiao Ran smiled at Andrew. Although he knew that Andrew would eventually become a member of the Three Ships Alliance, Xiao Ran was not sure that Andrew must be from the Klein faction, so he was a little wary…
Cagalli suddenly spoke up unhappy and said, "Hey, why are you asking so much? It's none of your business."
"I'm just asking casually." Andrew shrugged, and his face suddenly changed when he was about to say something. He lifted his foot and kicked the table into the air. At the same time, Kira also rushed towards Cagalli. Xiao Ran also, with his quick reaction, he directly pressed Cagalli and Kira under his body, and shouted: "Be careful!"
