The roar of the engine extended from the depths of the desert to the foot of the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Amid the billowing sand and dust, a team of three Land Combat Gundams and a Type 74 air-cushion truck were quickly moving towards the snow-capped mountains over there.

"Is the news true?" The Land Battle Gundam driven by Kallen stopped when the canyon ahead appeared in front of her, and Kallen's voice came from inside.

"It's true. According to the feedback from the searching reconnaissance aircraft, a distress signal was indeed detected a few hours ago when there was no storm blowing in this snow-capped mountain."

Sitting in the 74-type air-cushion truck, Alidoya's hands never left the monitoring equipment from the beginning to the end. Even when communicating with his teammates, his hands were still constantly adjusting the monitoring frequency, trying to get information from the surrounding radio waves.

Found a clue.

"In other words, are we going to walk into this snow that has been shrouded in a storm?" Sandas' Land Combat Gundam also stopped behind Kallen's Land Combat Gundam, raised its head slightly, and used its pair of electronic eyes.

Scanning the snow-capped mountains behind the canyon in front of me.

At this moment, the scenery on this snow-capped mountain can no longer be clearly seen, and some of it is just a vast expanse of white.

"The intelligence from the reconnaissance plane should be correct. Moreover, after that, they also discovered Zeon's reconnaissance plane and fighter jets appearing above the snow-capped mountains. I am afraid that the pilot of the MA on the opposite side is still alive.

"

Land Combat Gundam No. 4, Lei Mingkai's Land Combat Gundam, passed over the crowd and stood at the entrance of the canyon, locking his eyes on the white storm in the distance. Lei Ming looked around the canyon and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Kai slowly told what information he knew and could tell.

In fact, Lei Mingkai was not worried about the safety of Amada Shirou and Aina. After all, nothing happened to these two in the original trajectory, but they even had an emotional interaction.

Moreover, even if there are some unforeseen accidents, Lei Mingkai will not worry about it, because around Amada Shirou and Aina, there is also the existence of the White Cat Zero.

Kallen, Sandas, Aledoa and even Mikael, who had never dared to say a word, all looked at each other and immediately made a decision.

That is, go! Go and bring back their captain.

When all the members of Team 8 stepped into the canyon leading to the snow-capped mountains, the icy wind and white snow became everything they saw until they found the missing Shirou Amada.

The icy cold wind roared across the other side of the hillside, freezing everything in front of it.

In the gusts of cold wind, the white fluff was gently fluttering in the wind. The pair of golden beast eyes were quietly looking at the woman holding the unconscious man in her arms.

"Who are you?"

The silver-short-haired woman held the man tightly in her arms, her frightened and confused eyes never leaving the giant snow-white lion standing in the freezing cold wind.

The giant snow-white lion seemed not to pay attention to the woman, but raised his head and looked at the top of the cliff not far to the left.

The woman who subconsciously became confused about the movements of the giant snow-white lion and turned back to look in the same direction suddenly shrank her pupils.

"Apsalas?!"

"You!? Your target is Apsalas?!"

The silver-haired woman held the man's hands tightly, and the feeling of powerlessness spread from the bottom of her heart to all parts of her body. Could it be that the target of this strange snow-white lion is Apsalas?!

How can it be?

Animals take an interest in human creations?!

The thought made the woman laugh, but she could not get rid of the thought.

Too strange!

This giant snow-white lion is really strange.

If it hadn't been for its appearance and guidance, I'm afraid it would have taken him a while to find the man he was holding in his arms at this moment.

"You, who are you?"

After hesitating for a while, the woman who really couldn't find a suitable adjective finally said the adjective "person".

Upon hearing the woman's question, the giant snow-white lion looking at Apsaras slowly lowered his head, looked at the woman, and looked at the man in his arms.

Then, the giant snow-white lion took steps towards the woman step by step.

As the distance between the two parties shortened, the huge body of the snow-white lion also put great pressure on the woman. Under this pressure, the woman subconsciously retracted her right hand holding the man and touched the holder on her waist.

Pouch for a pistol.

However, in the next second, the giant snow-white lion stopped, stretched out its right paw, and gestured on the snow, as if it was writing?!

Upon seeing this, the woman stopped moving and frowned as she looked at the words written by the giant snow-white lion on the snow.

"Keep warm?"

As soon as she saw the handwriting clearly, the woman suddenly woke up.

Since she discovered the man in her arms, she seems to have not really tried to keep him warm in a timely manner. If she continues like this, something may happen.

"Sorry! I have to keep Shirou warm first."

Unexpectedly, just as the woman stood up and tried to drag the man to the broken humanoid mobile suit, the Land War Gundam, which was half-kneeling on the snow not far away, her hand suddenly became empty.

The man she was holding was grabbed by the collar by the giant snow-white lion at some point, and was dragged step by step towards the location of the Land War Gundam.

"you?!"

The woman was shocked.

The huge body of the snow-white lion, which is at least 2 meters tall, can actually drag away the man in his arms without knowing it. Is this just a dream?

After placing the man in the lee of the Land War Gundam, the snow-white lion looked back at the woman who was following him. He tilted his head slightly, indicating that the woman could remove the piece that was clamped to the side of the Land War Gundam's left leg and was caught by the strong wind.

The rustling canvas was gathered to protect this leeward place from the wind.

However, when closing the canvas, the woman discovered that the giant snow-white lion had left the leeward place and stood in the strong wind again.

Seeing this, the woman hesitated for a moment, but finally opened her mouth to invite: "Would you like to come over here to take shelter from the wind?"

The giant snow-white lion shook his head and looked up again at Apsalas above his head, which was parked on the top of the cliff.

After once again confirming that the target of this snow-white giant lion with strange behavior was Apsalas, the woman finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to communicate with this snow-white giant lion.

After all, in her opinion, even if this giant snow-white lion climbed onto Apsalas, it would probably not have any impact on Apsalas.

So, under her gaze, the figure of the strange lion was gradually submerged by the cold wind, leaving only the line of words written on the snow.

"Stay here, someone will come to save you."

The woman was stunned for a while, and finally sighed: "Perhaps, there really are gods in this world."

However, the snow-white giant lion is not the so-called god as the woman said, but one of the true forms of White Cat Zero.

Since its battle with the Avengers mini-AS, it has been lurking in the base, waiting for the opportunity for Aina Sakhalin to board Apsaras again.

Therefore, when Aina attacked, the White Cat Zero took advantage of others' unpreparedness and quickly ran into the cockpit of Apsalas. While leaving the base with the help of Apsalas' power, he used a close

From a distance, we can observe this aircraft that the White Cat Zero is extremely concerned about.

After some observation, White Cat Zero came to some conclusions, and during the subsequent battle with Team 8, he got in touch with Lei Mingkai.

Now, the White Cat Zero who had placed the pair of men and women who were killed in the battle, Aina and Shiro Amada, finally had free time to explore Apsaras parked on the top of the cliff.

The icy cold winds that make humans feel at a loss and even endanger their lives cannot stop the white cat Zero who transforms into a giant snow-white lion.

I saw that its steps were firm and steady, with no trace of being disturbed by the cold wind. The fluffy mane made the cold wind helpless.

Soon, the Zero came to the bottom of the cliff. The only way to enter the interior of Apsalas in the shortest time is to climb directly from the cliff. If you go around from both sides of the cliff, the Zero can also

Don't know how much time it will take.

But the only thing that is certain is that there is absolutely no way to get to the Apsalas side before the storm ends by going around on both sides.

"Hmph. Is this the only way?"

Type Zero grinned and took out his claws without hesitation.

Having said that, as a cat, Type Zero shouldn't be stumped by this cliff that is not too high, right? What's more, in a strict sense, Type Zero cannot be classified as a normal cat at all.

of ranks.

"Qiang!"

Sparks were flying on the cold rock wall, and the snow-white shadow jumped back and forth quickly on the rock wall. Every splash of sparks meant that the snow-white shadow jumped to a higher height until it landed steadily.

On the top of the cliff, on the snow next to Apsaras.

"Tsk! Why haven't I done such a boring thing yet? All I need to do is transform back into Longtooth Zero and I can rush up this cliff in gull form."

Shaking the snow off his paws, Zero showed a look of disgust, but soon he was attracted by the Apsaras in front of him.

Taking a step forward, Zero circled around Apsalas, who was covered in scars, with varying degrees of damage to the armor on various parts of his body, and even signs of distortion.

It stopped at the edge of the gap.

"Is this where it is?"

Zero's golden pupils stared silently at the piece of armor in front of him that had a hole blown open.

There is no doubt that the fluctuations emanating from it are the fluctuations that Zero is most concerned about. As long as this broken and obstructive armor is lifted, Zero's doubts will definitely be answered.

"Whoa!"

Without hesitation, Zero raised his right paw and swung it hard towards the broken piece of armor.

"!"
