Gundam EXARE

Don't be so sincere, I'll be at a loss.

"Just so you know, take it."

"Oh."

Rei took the energy drink handed to him by Cagalli, and then Cagalli took the water and went somewhere else.

"Instructor!"

"Ok?"

Before Rei could unscrew the bottle cap, another voice reached his ears.

"Instructor, water!"

"Uh?"

He looked at the water energy drink in his left hand, then took the other bottle handed to him by Yashaqi. He didn't expect that there were two different flavors.

And Yashaqi was not blind, so she naturally saw the bottle in Rey's hand.

"I'm sorry, instructor, I was inconsiderate."

Before Rei could respond, a third voice reached his ears:

"what."

Mayura held a bottle in her left hand and another in her right hand. This situation seemed to have opened some kind of barrier, making the people inside realize that something was wrong.

But people outside also saw it clearly. Bartfield, who wanted to say a few words to Rey, took two steps back and decided to digest two bottles of energy drinks by himself.

You ask Rey?

"I've been wanting to try a mixed flavor for a while now."

Want to drink?! Bring me all your flavors!

PS: I ate the melon of Hellraiser 2 today. It seems that most manufacturers want to ride on the heads of customers. This twisted desire is sigh-worthy.

Chapter 139 Return to the Old Land

The huge crowds of people will weaken the Earth Alliance's monitoring power over Heliopolis.

"Yeah, look at this scar on my face, it's so ugly. I want to find the best plastic surgery hospital to remove it."

Kira stared blankly at Rei chatting with the customs officer. "Aren't we all infiltrating? Why are you chatting with someone else?"

Because at times like this you can't be timid, you have to act very naturally.

"This is my first time in Heliopolis, miss. Would you be willing to be my guide from now on? We can go around and explore."

A bunch of words kept popping out of Rei's mouth, using euphemisms to disrupt the other person's concentration.

Finally, when he and Kira came out of the port together, there was a woman's call on his phone.

"Good timing."

Rei said as he put away his phone and passed by people heading to the port to catch their flights.

"After all, the cost of continuing with random blockades would be too high."

It has been more than a month since the Three Ships Alliance went into space. It is impossible for those who plan to immigrate to other countries to take a whole month to complete the journey.

So what are these people doing now? They are the people who are willing to stay in Orb and are about to return to their home on Earth.

Not everyone can give up their original lives to head into the unknown, not to mention that the Earth Federation does not want to spend money to support so many people.

If you keep so many people in Heliopolis, then your alliance should take on the task of transportation from a humanitarian perspective, right?

Now the Earth Army is using mass accelerators to continuously transport all kinds of supplies to the universe in preparation for launching a counterattack against PLANT. Where does it get the spare energy to send more ships to help Heliopolis bring supplies?

If you don't want to do it yourself, just let Orb do it himself. Now that you have the anti-neutron jammer, there is no need to continue staying in Heliopolis.

What's more, the country of Orb has no value anymore. Valuable people like the Dawn Society employees and adjusters have made their choices. Some went to PLANT, some went to the East Asian Republic, and some went to the Oceania Union.

The remaining ordinary people are seen by the Earth Union as refugees who cannot create much value. Will you take them in or should I?

No one wanted to take over this mess, so the only option was to let the Orbs go back to their own homes. So many Orbs returned to Earth from Heliopolis one after another under the leadership of the provisional government.

Rei and Kira took advantage of this lively time to sneak into Heliopolis.

The two walked on the street, and Rei looked left and right. From the expressions of the people and the cleanliness of the streets, he could tell that the situation was good.

There is no need for the Earth Army to establish colonial rule here. The most important thing is that someone is watching.

Ever since the rift between the Atlantic Federation and the other two giants, it has had to be careful in what it does, otherwise it will find that public opinion has been lost one day.

Unfortunately, a little restraint couldn't change the overall bad situation. Rei watched the news on TV in front of the appliance store:

“Even the news has changed.”

Hearing him say this, Kira walked over and watched the images on TV together.

It contained the victory report of the Earth Army's attack on the Oceania Union. Since the withdrawal of the ZAFT Army, the Oceania Union had to rely on its own strength to fight the Earth Army.

Although they can skillfully use the large number of MS left by ZAFT, the Oceania Federation's military strength is insufficient to face the entire Earth Federation, and now they can only remain on the defensive.

Therefore, after being depressed for more than a year, the Earth Army finally got their revenge and launched a major counterattack with their own MS troops.

The news broadcast on TV at this time was praising the Earth Army for their high morale, unstoppable momentum and outstanding style.

"Did you find anything wrong?"

Rei was actually teaching Kira some basic knowledge. He explained:

"People's common sense is created through daily news. The language used in this news is clearly biased towards the Earth Army, cheering them on. Repeated use of the same tactics can shape public opinion."

From this point, it can also be seen that Heliopolis is actually still controlled by the Earth Army, and they have firmly grasped the media in their hands.

"If I say you're bad every day for 365 days, you'll become bad even if you're not."

This is the magic moment of journalism.

"Protesters clashed with police, leading to university suspensions; protesters' violent protests led to police intervention. You see, isn't that a huge difference?"

Ray gave an example and continued:

"The former neutrally recounts the events and their consequences, while the latter first labels protesters as troublemakers, and then the police are forced to retaliate. The same principle applies to the news we watch now: whoever controls the channels of expression has the final say."

""

Kira could only remain silent. He had no idea there were so many twists and turns before.

How do we perceive the world?

How much of the information on the Internet is true and how much is false?

Is your current understanding the truth, or is it constructed for you by others?

"Okay, let's go."

Rei interrupted Kira's thoughts by patting him on the back.

"There's no point in thinking about this now. It's good enough to just know it first. We can consider this after the war."

Things must be prioritized. If the earth is burned to ashes, then there is no point in talking about progress.

We want to deal with LOGOS, not let countless people be buried with LOGOS.

"But who would have thought that those horrific conspiracy theories would actually be true?"

Rey didn't know how he should feel right now. The shadow government he talked about decades ago turned out not to be nonsense.

Next, should we say that there are metal-silicon-based organisms in the universe that are completely different from the carbon-based organisms on Earth?

Hahaha, I don’t believe it.

Dividing line

It's none of my business

This kind of thinking is indeed unacceptable. Everyone lives in the same world, and the ripples will eventually be transmitted to other places.

Why did the Atlantic Federation attack Orb? Because even an innocent person is guilty of possessing a treasure.

The same events have been repeated countless times in history. When a country attacks and plunders for resources, the weak country will always be hurt and left with only ruins.

Plunder has always been the main theme of history, and mankind seems to have never learned any lessons from history.

It’s just like those gamblers who are addicted to gambling. Once they get used to it, they don’t know how to do anything else.

"call"

Mirialia stopped what she was doing. The artificial flowers in the vase actually complemented the colonial satellite quite well.

After all, even the new world built by PLANT is a false one. Colonial satellites symbolize the possibilities of mankind, but possibilities are ultimately just possibilities.

Humans have not yet been able to establish a food base in space, so it is far from being possible to leave the Earth.

You've already taken the first step, but you stop here.

Ultimately, the Council established a satellite colony to allow the Adjusters to continuously extract resources from the universe and send them to Earth. They have never had the ambition to leave Earth.

“I actually think about these things.”

Miliaria blinked. She used to be thinking about which TV series was good, which movie to watch next, and which celebrity sang which song and endorsed which cosmetics.

After experiencing some things, people will change rapidly, so much so that when they look back, they can hardly recognize their past selves.

At this moment, a second voice sounded:

"Mirialia, thank you for your hard work. Let's have some afternoon tea."

A woman with blue-purple hair walked out of the kitchen. She had slightly curly hair and eye color that was completely different from Kira's.

In fact, Mirialia had no idea that this Yantian was Kira's mother, but it was quite normal for the Adjusters to not look like their parents, after all, they could even customize their appearance.

Why is Mirialia with Kira's mother?

Because Kira called his friends before the Orb attack and asked them to take care of his parents.

This sounded like something an innocent 16-year-old would do. Kira had no one else to turn to, and he didn't know if he could survive the war.

Since then, Kira's friends who returned to Heliopolis would visit Kira's parents from time to time.

Objectively speaking, adults don't need a few young boys and girls to take care of them, but Yantian can feel her son's concern for his mother from these boys and girls. In her opinion, it is also good to hear about the child's daily interesting stories from his friends.

It's just that Yantian sighed a little. She didn't expect Kira to be so lazy at home or at school. This is a good thing. However,

"Ding"

The doorbell rings at this moment. Who could be visiting this afternoon?

"I'll open the door."

Mirialia stood up and trotted to the entrance.

Through the peephole, she saw two people who looked very suspicious at first glance. One was tall, the other short, and each was wearing a pair of sunglasses.

But Miliaria recognized the familiar brown hair and immediately opened the door.

"Kira! Is that Kira?!"

"Ok?"

Outside the door, Ray pulled down his sunglasses with his left hand. He didn't use this as a disguise, but to give Kira a way to relieve his tension.

The closer you get to the truth, the more you want to retreat.

Kira wanted to know the truth, but he couldn't help but ask himself whether he had the ability to bear the truth?

There was no point in dwelling on this now, because upon hearing Kira's name, Yantian couldn't wait even a second and ran out of the living room.

What's a mere pair of sunglasses? There's no way a mother could mistake her child.

The next moment, Yantian stopped abruptly in the middle of her run because she saw Rei taking off his sunglasses.

"Who are you"

This unusual attitude made Rei raise an eyebrow, but soon, Yantian's surprised expression disappeared, and only Kira was left in her eyes.

"Kira!"

"Mother"

Kira's emotions were complicated. He wanted to see his family, but he also felt overwhelmed.
