Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Zhang Xun successfully fooled all the Earth Alliance soldiers who were providing support, and now when they meet, they raise their right hand and shout "Sydney!"

Natal dragged Zhang Xun by the ear onto the bridge of the Archangel, followed by Yuraine, Maru, and the others with strange expressions.

"What were you thinking! This wasn't part of the plan at all! What will you do if these soldiers infect other Earth Force soldiers?!"

Zhang Xun rubbed his ears and said, "If the Purge Agreement isn't resolved, there won't even be a tomorrow, let alone a conclusion. Why don't you get involved yourself!"

The others didn't know the truth behind what Zhang Xun and Natal were saying, but they all nodded in agreement.

Natal, unable to express her frustration, stomped her foot and punched Zhang Xun in the stomach, yelling, "I'm so angry!"

Seeing their intimate behavior, and not knowing how to advise them, she said, "What do we do now?"

Zhang Xun, who was squatting on the ground rubbing his stomach, said, "What else can we do? We need to escape to the Gibraltar base as soon as possible and repair the ship. Right now, we don't even have half of our fighting strength."

Seeing this, the group headed towards the Gibraltar base with three main warships as the lead, while the Earth Army support forces went to the other side, informing the Earth Army soldiers that if Zhang Xun and his group could enter and control the base, they would send a signal to enter the base; otherwise, they would retreat to the Paradise base.

When Athrun and Kira arrived on the Archangel and met Zhang Xun, they sighed, "Right now, the Naturals and Coordinators here have temporarily put aside their hatred and are working towards a common goal. But can we really defeat the Purge Agreement?"

Zhang Xun sang in a strange tone: "Young man, have you reached the point where you doubt that you're not the protagonist?"

Natal, standing nearby, snapped a picture with her tablet and said, "Speak properly!"

He rubbed his head and said, "Based on the information we've gathered, it's very difficult! The forces possessed by the Purge Agreement are not something any single power can contend with! However, if we unite all of humanity, there might still be a glimmer of hope."

Aslan asked, "The purge agreement doesn't target civilians, so why can't we talk about how they might help us stop all wars?"

Without further ado, Zhang Xun presented Aslan with the information that a certain island nation of the East Asian Republic had been completely massacred as a deterrent to all member states of the East Asian Republic.

"This information was obtained through special channels and is currently only circulating within the East Asian Republic. After seeing this, do you still believe that the purge agreement can be negotiated?"

Natal was somewhat surprised to see this information. These troops, who were not part of the plan and were carrying out orders, had done a very thorough job. There were practically no survivors, including people from other countries.

"This is outrageous! How could they be so cruel!" Athrun and Kira exclaimed in disbelief.

"Not harming civilians does not mean they are righteous. On the contrary, these iron lumps may be after humanity itself. This is just my speculation. After all, if all humans resist, it will lead to a large number of civilian casualties."

Some of the traumatized Athrun and Kira returned to their respective warships, struggling to accept the reality.

While Zhang Xun and his group on Earth were fleeing towards the Gibraltar base, Wang Ge and his group in space started causing trouble again.

"So boring! We've been watching the colony dismantle these past few days! How about we go find the Speaker or Asalia Joel? After all, white hair is the most beloved thing in the world!" Wang Ge lay on the sofa, sucking on a meter-long straw, and sipped his soda.

“What are you thinking! The two forces on Earth have already begun to unite. We’ve only dismantled one colony, and all the materials have been taken back to build new colony ships, but there’s still a huge shortage. We need to plan to dismantle another colony.” Marcus looked at the report from Mars.

Sun Hui, holding a tablet and using a microphone, said, "Zhang Xun is putting on a stand-up comedy show in the Eurasian Federation!"

"Hey! Is there any video footage of the scene?!" Wang Ge jumped up from the sofa and ran over.

At the end of the video, a group of people raise their right hands and shout "Sydhailer".

"Holy crap, I knew stand-up comedy audiences couldn't all be men. This guy's got a mustache on him!"

The four of them huddled together watching the video, discussing how they were just missing out on this or that.

"Stop pushing!" Sun Hui shouted, and the other three people either hung on the table or were stuck to the ceiling and the wall.

Wang Ge moved and managed to get himself down from the ceiling.

"I've never heard of biotechnology being able to enhance things to such a terrifying degree!"

Marcus bent down and pried himself out of the wall: "Next time, maybe we should change the interior and remove the wooden Chinese style. It's too easy to embed people in it."

He walked over to Huang Hong and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey! Get up from the table and let's get to the meeting!"

"Don't move, I've hurt my back! I'm not as strong as you two, my enhancement level isn't high." As he said this, he was pulled up by the medical robot, which adjusted his back with two quick clicks before helping him up.

"What do we do next?" Huang Hong asked as he sat down.

Marcus said, "Let's nitpick and then let them vote to demolish the colonial city."

"Why bother? Just let our Speaker Durandal act as a mouthpiece and restart the voting process," Wang Ge said nonchalantly.

"That's too brutal!" Sun Hui said.

“It’s so simple, just tell him that fate is guiding him to explain these things to the PLANT people. Hasn’t his genes already told him that this is his destiny? Politics, lies, harm, and madness are the real him!” Wang Ge finished speaking and laughed wickedly.

"Are you so eager to see if he'll turn evil again if he gets provoked?" Marcus asked curiously.

"Yeah! His wife ran away! His brothers are gone! If he finds out that what he's been pursuing all along was wrong and that he's been used by others, I wonder how our Speaker would feel!" After Wang Ge finished speaking, the three of them huddled together and laughed strangely.

Sun Hui waved her hand, and all three of them were embedded in the decorative wood of the bridge.

"You bullied my brother! None of you are good people! Humph!"

Wang Ge, resting his chin on his hand while sitting on the wood, said, "Women! As long as a man is handsome and has good looks, he's their brother. Humph, so shallow!"

Ultimately, the PLANT Council was pressured by the three to allow Durandal to preside over another vote on colony compensation, with threats of even greater war and destruction if they did not comply.

The second vote caused the already angry PLANT people to cast their votes in a frenzy, exacerbating the social unrest caused by the need to settle an extra 500 million people due to the lack of a colony satellite city.

The Coordinators began attacking each other and destroying immigration facilities, while those who had been thrown out and lost their homes began attacking other colonies, plunging PLANT into complete chaos and causing the council to almost lose control of the colonies.

The group admired the chaos of the various colonies.

"If there is an external enemy, humanity will unite. However, if humanity does not understand what it needs, such unity is very fragile. Only by experiencing chaos can one know the value of order. The Coordinators have too good a living environment, and with the instigation of politicians with ulterior motives, they have begun to call themselves new humans. They have not experienced human feelings of powerlessness, struggle, and despair for a long time!"

Wang Ge reached out as if to grab something, and Marcus next to him handed him a can of beer.

Marcus, looking somewhat disappointed, picked up his beer and took a sip.

"So what if a Coordinator experiences it firsthand?" Marcus asked curiously.

"This is an important step in Zhang Xun's plan. When human expectations continue to decline, survival will become the primary factor. At that time, as long as someone can help him survive, all conflicts will cease to exist."

"Then why do countries in your universe fight each other in modern history?" Marcus asked, taking a sip of beer.

Wang Ge glanced at Marcus, who really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

"That's because one side's policies threatened the interests of the other side's top leadership, mainly due to ideological issues. What we're doing now is eliminating all the top leaders from both sides and re-establishing a new leadership with aligned goals and shared interests."

"No wonder Zhang Xun used the Earth military's high command as bait, while you chose to undermine the council's prestige! You're all wicked!"

"Didn't you see that the other two weren't that surprised at all? This is just a simple trick. We can't use anything more vicious. Otherwise, I'll show you what it means to be harmless and not harm anyone."

With the voting concluded, another colonial city has been selected, meaning the other 10 satellite cities will have to accept nearly 1 million refugees, either rising from chaos or falling into ruin.
