Captain, your ship has exploded again.

As the beam of the main cannon of the Purge Agreement flew straight toward Messiah Fortress, the ZAFT troops wore expressions of despair. 3 kilometers was an insurmountable distance on the battlefield, where distances were primarily determined by visual estimation.

Despite their despair, the ZAFT forces in Messiah Fortress did not give up their counterattack. Their main cannons, deflected by the all-around light wave defense shield, swept across other areas, and Genesis, feeling the intense vibrations, fired again at the enemy battleships.

"Glory belongs to ZAFT!"

With a roar, Genesis charged towards Wang Ge and the others once more.

"TD, bayonet charge! You think you can reload as fast as me?" Wang Ge immediately ordered the defensive array to block in front and continued to charge the main gun.

Sun Hui poked Huang Hong next to her with her finger: "What does TD bayonet fighting mean?"

"Self-propelled artillery vehicles, those tanks that reload incredibly slowly but have immense power—if you play too many games, all you'll say is a meme." Huang Hong slapped the other person's finger away. Even if you were poking with a finger, it felt like the other person was hitting you with a steel bar. Whoever marries this woman is doomed.

After the second Genesis easily broke through the five defensive array barriers, it crashed into the battleship's shields again.

"We can't hold on any longer. The shield has dropped to 31% and is still decreasing. How are the battleships behind us? Once this is over, let them take the lead."

Wang Ge thought the danger would only come at the very last moment, but he didn't expect ZAFT to rush over so desperately to report the enemy's position.

As the Second Genesis ended, Wang Ge's battleship immediately hid behind another battleship to recharge its shields.

As more and more holes appeared on the Messiah Fortress, the all-around light wave defense system began to struggle, and finally, after what seemed like the umpteenth enemy main cannon attack, it completely overloaded and stopped operating.

With the fall of Messiah Fortress and the complete penetration of Genesis Cannon, ZAFT's last act of defiance finally ceased its roar.

Gilbert watched the battlefield situation video sent by ZAFT military in the parliamentary meeting room, tapping the table impatiently.

As a capable politician, he was confident in using his leverage to influence the enemy's actions. However, this nonsensical purge agreement was shrouded in mystery, something he could see but couldn't touch, and he was powerless to take any action against it.

Looking at the photos of Zhang Xun and the others wearing masks on the screen, he tried hard to think about their purposes and the origin of such a large-scale fleet.

"Kruze, if you were here, could you figure out what they're trying to do!" Durandal slumped back in his chair and groaned weakly.

With the sinking of Messiah Fortress, the two fleets advanced at full speed and quickly broke into L5's defensive perimeter. The remaining ZAFT radicals, unwilling to give up, launched a final assault in their mobile suits and battleships, but they were all sunk in the enemy's path.

"Anyone who doesn't surrender when a cannon is pointed at their head must be a radical. They're useless anyway! That's it!" After saying that, Wang Ge punched his palm to show his approval.

"Stop comforting yourself, hurry up and get on with your acting! Put on your costume and don't mess things up at the crucial moment." Marcus nudged Wang Ge to the side to put on his own gear.

After everyone put on their masks, they activated PLANT's communication network across all satellite cities. The large screen displayed Darth Vader's helmet and mask, and his distinctive breathing sound appeared above all the cities.

"Greetings, citizens of PLANT! This is Darth Vader, from the Purge Union. Your army, ZAFT, has now surrendered to us."

We need all the satellites from your city for recycling materials. I know you like voting and so-called fairness, so now it's time for you to cast your votes and choose which city will be dismantled and recycled! Show us your madness!

As the voice faded, a statistic appeared on the large screens in each region, showing the number of votes cast for each of the 12 cities listed below their names.

At that moment, a group of people on the battleship's bridge looked at the data on the screen with strange smiles.

"Hehehe! Zhang Xun is still the bad guy. He makes them vote for the cities they want to be betrayed. Once or twice, as long as it happens a lot, they will either understand and resist or fall into depravity and give up. At that time, whether they resist or give up, they can integrate with the natural people on Earth."

After staring at the screen for a while without any response, Sun Hui said, "But what if none of them choose?"

Marcus patted the control panel next to him: "Although our central computer isn't particularly powerful, it can still attack a small PLANT system. When the time comes, we'll be the ones pressing the first '1,' and the rest will be like an unstoppable flood, because human nature is inherently evil!"

As expected, no one voted using their own devices at first, but when Wang Ge and his group cast their first vote for them, the avalanche became inevitable.

"Ha... Oh, you laughed at the wrong thing, hahaha! My brother Ma's plan is brilliant. When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent." Wang Ge said, putting his arm around Marcus.

"My surname isn't Ma!"

"So what? Since you've become a Chinese, you must have a Chinese name. From now on, your surname will be Ma! What should I call you... let me think."

Huang Hong, standing nearby, mischievously said, "Spicy shredded chicken?"

The two men then chased after him and started hitting him, saying, "You think I don't watch comedy sketches? I can still connect to the internet, you know!"

Wang Ge also said, "Old man, you used to seem pretty honest, but it turns out you're just a repressed pervert. You've said what I wanted to say, so what do I have to say now!"

Marcus stopped and looked at Wang Ge, but Wang Ge didn't notice and said, "Since the name of the dish is hopeless, how about we just call it Horse Egg?"

Marcus then punched him so hard he was pressed against the wall. Marcus got up, clapped his hands, and said, "They're all no good!"

Sun Hui asked curiously, "Isn't Marcus just a name? Why change it?"

Marcus originally intended to take care of Sun Hui as well, but after looking at his own thin arms and legs, he gave up.

"How about we find an opportunity to get Zhang Xun to upgrade us? Otherwise, there will be even more people we can't beat in the future." He then looked down at his brother.

"Yes, some parts also need to be iterated."

As the number of votes increased, what could have been avoided by tying the votes in the early stages has now become an irreversible situation due to the increased number of participants.

The four of them, some holding hot drinks and others carrying food, sat on the ground next to the captain's chair, watching the farce unfolding in various cities of PLANT on the screen.

PLANT people began to take to the streets in protest, and some began to attack people from different cities or with differing opinions. Distrust, conflict, and fear were on full display in these mediators.

"Self-righteous mortals think they have broken away from the old humanity and call themselves the new humanity, but human nature will always accompany them. If they cannot discover why humanity survived the ancient competition, then they will forever remain just beasts."

Sun Hui ate the cheese corn like a hamster, her cheeks bulging, and mumbled something in a daze.

"Didn't humans become dominant because they have brains?"

Wang Ge looked at Sun Hui with a hint of disdain. Could it be that the four of them couldn't put together a single brain?

Huang Hong, holding a teacup but filled with ginger ale, said in a bossy tone, "Wang Ge is referring to the section about the human femur fossil in The Wandering Earth 2."

"You've been to that universe too?" Wang Ge asked curiously.

"I've never been there, only seen movies. Humans are social animals. Why do we live in groups? Because we need each other. Hunting, farming, weaving, and building houses are not things that one person can do alone." He finished speaking and sipped his drink.

“That’s right! Zhang Xun’s plan is to make humanity understand that exploring space is not something that a few people can do; it requires the entire human race. The risks that a few people take on are extremely high, and only when a large number of people take on these risks will there be a chance,” Wang Ge said, holding a hot cocoa.

With the vote count stopped, October City was in first place.

"When faced with a choice between life and the environment, civilization and art would be the first to be discarded." Wang Ge then pressed the end button.

This determined that the first batch to be dismantled would consist of 10 satellite cities of Oakdorf.
