UC will eventually reach the stars

Norris, who was standing to the side, shook his head while drinking his coffee. He and Gao Long had both said that as long as they were there, Ye Yun and Aina could go to SIDE7 to play, but Ye Yun disagreed.

The stated reason was that as a unit commander, he had to set an example. The real reason, however, was that because of that damned Gundam tradition, Ye Yun simply didn't believe the claim that Side 7 was a peaceful rear area. Hey, back then, Orb's Heliopolis was neutral territory! And they still attacked it without warning.

Therefore, Ye Yun resolutely implemented a shift duty system close to the battlefield, and their MS were basically kept in a state of readiness to attack at any time! If there really was a fool who didn't know what was going to happen and brought two underlings into SIDE7, Ye Yun promised to stew them before leaving. Even if he had to give Sera face, he would beat them half to death before dragging them to SIDE5.

However, Ye Yun coaxed Aina to go to the lounge and lie down on the cot to sleep, since the Earth Federation Army's top three kills were on duty outside, and their combat strength was more than enough.

"How was it? Did you have fun?" Ye Yun got up and stretched his limbs, then glanced into the inner room. Aina had already gotten up to wash up.

"Not bad, it really is a peaceful place. The kids are still playing in the streets, just like before the war. Except that prices are much higher than on the ground, a steak that's at most A3 grade is being sold to me for the price of an A5 grade, which is outrageous." Sima shrugged, then suddenly remembered something and turned to Ye Yun, saying, "Speaking of which, we really have to thank you. Otherwise, a group of us lieutenants really wouldn't have dared to go into those high-end restaurants and shops."

"I kept my promise." Ye Yun stretched his neck; he was about to face a tough battle! Aina hadn't gone shopping in a long time! So Ye Yun didn't care much about what Sima said. Besides, it was just a small allowance. The 666 Squadron was such a strong team; if they were willing to accept employment for money, Ye Yun would shower them with gold.

Use gold directly, instead of paper money.

"You'll have to work hard from now on!" Ye Yun handed over the key to Xima. There was no other way; Ye Yun's personal mobile suit was on the ground, and he was currently using Gundam Unit 1. However, Gundam Unit 1 was in the factory in Side 7, so it was impossible for Ye Yun to use it. Therefore, he would use Xima's mobile suit during combat readiness.

"The car is right outside, have fun!" Sima took the key and nodded. It has to be said that during this shopping trip, everyone in Squadron 666 was a bit silent. After all... those destroyed colonies on SIDE1, SIDE2, and SIDE4 were once so peaceful and prosperous. Who destroyed them?

Zeon deserves to die! Ye Yun is right, every Zabi should be chained to a piece of a colony and thrown into Earth from space.

"Aren't you going to go for a walk?" Ye Yun and Aina neatly hung their concealed gun holsters under their arms. This was a long-standing habit. I may not use them, but I can't be without them. Anyway, both of them are colonels in the Federation Army, so they definitely have the right to carry firearms. Moreover, Ye Yun's identity is special. There are really not many military police officers in the entire Earth Federation who dare to investigate him now.

After all, the sound of executions at the shooting range is quite loud, isn't it?

Project G is the Earth Federation Forces' highest-level MS development project, which has already been confirmed. Especially after Ye Yun handed his computer over to the headquarters military police for inspection, they quickly closed the folder after glancing at the folder name. They didn't dare to look any further, since there were several terabytes of data, it couldn't possibly be a pornographic film.

Thus, the matter was confirmed. Wartime treason, even if only marginally related, carries only one punishment. Moreover, the entire African theater was enraged; Merkel had previously hurled insults at the military police commander who had been relegated to North America in communications.

So what others saw was that the head of the Earth Federation Military Police was replaced, the original military police commander was transferred to the North American theater, the Earth Federation Military Police headquarters was completely purged, and the fourteen military police officers at headquarters who were involved in the matter were all executed.

Aside from the military police in the African theater, what other military police would dare to try and cause trouble for Ye Yun?! Do you want an extra hole in your forehead so you can smoke?

"I won't go. Have fun with Miss Aina!" Nores smiled naturally. Seeing the deep affection between Ye Yun and Miss Aina made him very satisfied. For Nores, perhaps the greatest expectation was that both Miss Aina and Young Master Kinias could provide the Sakhalin family with the next generation of heirs as soon as possible.

Therefore, it was even less likely that Norres would act as a third wheel on Ye Yun and Aina's date.

"I'm going to buy some things myself, I don't want to go shopping!" Gao Long's answer was much more practical; he didn't want to go shopping!

"Alright." Ye Yun nodded and walked out hand in hand with Aina.

"What a sweet couple." Sima looked at the couple walking away with a hint of envy. She couldn't say whether she would have the chance to fall in love again in the future. After all, was there any difference between someone who could accept the sins she carried and someone who was an executioner who slaughtered a colony?

Ye Yun and Aina had no idea what the people inside were thinking. They simply jumped into the car happily, stepped on the gas, and drove off. Since Ye Yun started working on the ship, the two of them had rarely had a proper date, so they were both excited about this rare opportunity.

"Ye Yun...look over there." Feeling the wind from the speeding car blowing through her hair, Aina's eyes narrowed comfortably. Then she looked at the river beside her, and after seeing something, her brows relaxed a little.

“The little girl and the little guy are swimming and sunbathing... They really are carefree, as if there is no war going on outside.” Ye Yun glanced at them and a smile appeared on his lips. “If the war can end as soon as possible, it will probably take at least 20 years for all the space colonies to recover to their current state.”

"A hatred that takes an entire generation to forget? That seems incredibly difficult." Aina shook her head. Even after the war with the Principality of Zeon in Side 3 ended, there was still Side 6, which had forcibly sought independence before the war. Would the Federation let them off the hook?!

"Hmm?" Ye Yun seemed to sense something, turned his head slightly, and saw a boy in the rearview mirror riding an electric bike slowly. He seemed a little distracted, but what Ye Yun noticed was a special feeling, as if Rita was beside him.

"What's wrong?" Aina naturally noticed Ye Yun's unusual behavior and turned around curiously to look at him. She saw the boy getting out of the car and standing next to the group of boys and children, seemingly talking about something.

“Amro Ray, we just met his father this morning.” Ye Yun shrugged. Like Xia Ya, he knew who it was, but now wasn’t a good time to make contact. “Let’s go. There’s a restaurant here that I’ve heard is pretty good. If we go too late, we might have to wait in line.” Ye Yun didn’t think much of it. If it really was fate… well, then this person would probably have some contact with his other half soon.

Well, the "other half" here doesn't refer to a romantic partner or anything like that, but rather to Gundam.

"Dr. Tim Ray's son?" Aina stood up and glanced back. "Should we go and meet him? Sister Ning wanted to bring him to Earth, but she failed."

"Because no matter how you look at it, my sister's actions seem malicious, intending to control their families to threaten Tim Ray. It's too ugly. On the contrary, his wife quickly agreed to move over, with the only condition being that she wanted to bring some of her friends along, since it's just a matter of one plane."

“That makes sense.” Aina nodded. This idea came from her brother, whose motivation was that while others might not know how dirty the Zeon intelligence services were, the Sakhalin family had certainly experienced it firsthand. Taking Tim Ray's family away didn't necessarily mean settling them in the Sichuan Basin; even Chabro or the surrounding area would be fine. However, on the surface, the reason seemed like an excuse; the real reason was simply their ill intentions towards Operation V.

"So let them be. Everyone has their own destiny. It's their own choice, what's there to regret?" Ye Yun shrugged, not really caring. What he was concerned about now was, "Steak for dinner, Italian food, or Chinese food?"

"Chinese food, please. But do you have any good Chinese food here?" Ye Yun's question prompted Aina to answer without hesitation. Having lived in Sichuan since she was very young, Aina had been eating sandwiches for the past few days, and she had lost her appetite. They weren't tasty or spicy...

"I think there's a hot pot restaurant with pretty good reviews, wanna go?" Ye Yun handed his phone to Aina. Before leaving home, he had done a quick research and found a few restaurants with decent reviews.

“I’ll book a table. We’ll go shopping first, then have dinner and rest a bit, and then continue shopping.” Aina smiled. “We can also see if there are any souvenirs we can take back from Side 7.”

"It's all up to you."

Chapter 152: Mistakes Made When Young

"Ugh! I think I ate a bit too much!" Aina stuffed the things into the trunk, a light smile on her face. "But I'm really surprised to be able to buy SIDE5 moisturizing cosmetics here."

“My sister has basically authorized all of Ye’s Heavy Industry’s product lines to Sera, as long as he can build them up on his own…” Ye Yun looked at Aina with a somewhat fearful expression, “You… won’t be angry, will you?” After all, ever since Ye Yun sent the Mas family to settle in the Sichuan Basin, Aina has been keeping a close eye on Sera, though not exactly guarding against him.

Last time Ye Yun went to space to retrieve Sera again, if it weren't for Ye Yun's recent obsession with calling her "Mom," leaving Aina completely bewildered, he wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily.

"Hmph... This isn't for her sake. I can still distinguish right from wrong." Aina said with a smile, "SIDE5 is seeing a massive influx of hundreds of thousands of people every day. I heard the first batch of crops they rushed to plant has already been harvested, and they've also established large-scale chicken farms, attempting large-scale animal husbandry, and started planting various grains."

Aina shrugged as she spoke, "As far as the results are concerned, I must admit that Sera has achieved something I could never have imagined."

"Could you pinch me a little less hard?" Ye Yun grinned and kissed Aina. Aina whimpered a few times before reluctantly letting go. "By the way, we bought a lot of things today, and it's just an order. Will we be late?"

"It's not like we're leaving right away. They'll just deliver it to the military camp. I just hope the sentry at the gate can notify you to pick it up in time," Ye Yun said with a mischievous smile. Then he leaned close to Aina's ear and whispered, "Mom, are you planning to put it on first... Ouch!" Aina kicked Ye Yun in the shin, making him gasp in pain.

"Ye Yun~ Do you still want to ask?" Aina smiled brightly. You're so smug, aren't you! She's even teasing you.

"I won't ask anymore!" Ye Yun grimaced, moved his legs a few times, and then said nothing more. It was obvious that Aina wanted to settle all old and new scores. If he kept jumping around, he would probably get into serious trouble. Ye Yun quickly raised his hands in surrender to show that he admitted defeat.

However, perhaps because the two of them watched a movie after dinner, they were a little late when they got back.

They drove slowly toward the base, then heard several collision sounds, followed by the roar of a heavy engine, and finally a burst of gunfire!

Almost instinctively, Ye Yun immediately swerved the steering wheel and drove the car off the highway. Both Ye Yun and Aina, who were sitting in the car, had fought on the battlefield. The moment they smelled the gunpowder, their eyes changed.

"Cover me, I'm going to check the situation." Ye Yun kissed Aina. Such intense gunfire must mean the base was under attack, hence the frantic firing. The two of them only had pistols, making it impossible to fight back. However, with Sima and the others on guard, they should have activated their Dagger 105s the moment they heard the gunfire.

"Okay, be careful," Aina replied softly.

"I'll just check the situation. The MS team should have already started." As he spoke, Ye Yun quickly crawled a few times and lay down by the roadside to observe. He glanced at the target being brutally beaten by the Federation forces and was somewhat puzzled. "Bulldozers?!" Then Ye Yun suddenly sensed something and became conflicted. "Aina, flare gun. It looks like the little guys are causing trouble."

"Huh?" Aina looked at Ye Yun in confusion. After all, with such a big commotion, it seemed a bit unreasonable to say that the little guy was just causing trouble...

However, Aina still opened the trunk and rummaged through the bottom of the overflowing shopping boxes, finding the box containing the flare gun and tossing it to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun opened the box, loaded a green signal flare, and then pulled the trigger towards the sky. Almost immediately, the gunfire stopped, because this meant someone had determined that the situation was safe. Within this base, very few people had this level of authority.

"So what happened?" Aina stood up, climbed into the driver's seat, and drove the car up.

“I’m not entirely sure, but Amuro Ray is down there.” Ye Yun naturally climbed into the passenger seat, pulled the pistol out of its holster, checked the magazine, cocked it, engaged the safety, and put it back in. “He’s probably the same as me and Rita.”

"Huh?" Aina immediately realized what this "same" meant. "He's awake?" Ye Yun didn't hide it from Aina. He had already told her that he was awakened by Rita. Aina had also tried to let Rita touch her hand several times, but unfortunately, there was no reaction.

"I don't know, probably not." Ye Yun shrugged. Because it wasn't far, they quickly drove to the entrance of the development zone. Several military police were disciplining a few teenagers, dragging them off a large bulldozer, and beating up the unruly ones. Aina parked the car on the side, and Ye Yun got out.

"Colonel Ye Yun!" All the military police quickly saluted!

"Ye Yun... Colonel? Fourth on the Federation's kill list, commander of the Dhaka base, a combat hero in low Earth orbit, him?" Several teenagers immediately began to whisper among themselves. Because his combat record was verifiable, the federal government's propaganda department didn't hesitate to praise Ye Yun.

To what extent was it blown up?

Even with Ye Yun's thick skin, honed from living two lives and constantly feigning friendships with various important figures in this one, he would still blush at the sight of her.

Right now, Ye Yun is dressed in casual clothes and looks like a rather tall young man. But he's not as interesting as Aina in the car behind him, at least Aina is very beautiful.

"Hmm, what happened?" Ye Yun asked softly, then whispered to the military police, "Take their IDs, call their families, and set bail at 30,000 per person." Beat them up? Young people are tough; if they get beaten up today, they'll cause trouble again tomorrow. It's better to be direct! 30,000 bail will keep them beaten for at least three days.

"3!?" Upon hearing Ye Yun's offer, these kids instantly panicked! What a joke! 3 is no small sum!

"Okay, remember to have their parents compensate for the damage to the bulldozer. Don't shortchange them a single penny. If Bazhou doesn't want it, then you'll get off easy." Ye Yun said softly to the military police. This was even worse than before. The bulldozer, which had been subjected to heavy fire from the Federal Army, was basically a total loss. These large bulldozers are usually priced in the millions. If their families were to pay for the compensation, it would practically plunge their families into abject poverty.

"Hey! Even if you're some damn federal hero, you can't just arbitrarily sentence us! This is SIDE7, not your..." The moment they heard Ye Yun plan to impose such a terrifying bail and compensation on them, they panicked! That's why Kai jumped out to strongly object!

"Bang!" Although Ye Yun wasn't exactly a fighting expert, he was still quite skilled due to long-term training. When Ye Yun threw a punch, the kid in front of him obviously couldn't react in time.

"Kid, don't think that peace is something you're born with. The peace in Side 7 isn't because of anything else, it's because Side 7 is close enough to Luna 2. Otherwise, why do you think those Zeon murderers didn't kill you, but wiped out everyone in Side 1, 2, and 4?! Trying to act tough with me?" After saying that, he punched Kai again, knocking him to the ground.

“Listen, you little brats, according to the law, storming a Federal Army facility is enough to warrant being shot dead. If you weren’t young enough, you’d all be corpses by now.” Ye Yun waved his hand. “People have to pay the price for their actions. What’s your name, kid?”

"My name is Kai! Remember that!" The man lying on the ground looked resentful, as if he had been insulted.

"Very good, thirteen words. Give him thirteen blows to wake him up first, avoid vital points, and hit the fleshiest spots." Ye Yun sneered. Still putting on airs?! Then society can only teach you the wickedness of adults.

Upon hearing Ye Yun's voice, the two military police immediately drew their batons and swung them at Kai. They didn't count, but stopped after wiping their sweat when they thought they had counted enough people.

Ye Yun looked at the group of young people. Amid Kai's screams, everyone shrank back. He glanced around and finally fixed his gaze on Amuro Ray. "Amuro?" Ye Yun didn't call him by his surname, just to save face for everyone. "What are you doing here?"

"Ah..." Amuro, who had just been frightened by the hail of bullets, did not expect that the person in front of him knew him.

“This must be Dr. Tim Ray’s son… Never mind, I’ll bail him out, I’ll pay the fare.” Ye Yun gestured for Aina to swipe her card at the military police station. Now, everyone’s eyes were on him. Amuro wore an expression of relief, but also confusion about what had happened, and a touch of youthful timidity.

Kai, lying on the ground beside him, gasping for breath, looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a traitor. One could only say that Kai, who hadn't experienced much, was just a simple-minded rogue, and also harbored anti-Federation sentiments brainwashed by the concepts of space dwellers. However, he didn't dare to roar again, partly because of the pain, and partly because he was afraid Ye Yun would charge him by the word again.

"You know me?" Amuro hesitated for a long time, looking at Ye Yun with a doubtful expression.

"Yes!" Ye Yun shrugged. "I can barely be considered your father's colleague." Seeing Aina shake her head at him when she returned, Ye Yun looked at the military police standing nearby. The military police chuckled awkwardly. He dared not accept Ye Yun's money, but he had already collected all the kids' ID cards and was checking their identities one by one, while also calling their families and asking them to come over.

"Could you..." Amuro hesitated, "Could you..." Before Amuro could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened in terror as a huge black shadow rose up from inside the base.

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from, barking like that in the middle of the night!" The bright light shone down, and Sima's annoyed voice echoed through the speaker of the Dagger 105.

"Mobile Suit!" A group of kids peered in terror through their fingers covering their eyes at the enormous steel giant. Witnessing the immense shock of this steel giant made the kids' legs go weak and they collapsed to the ground.

"See, making you pay bail is actually a way of forgiving you. Otherwise, would you like to experience a 90mm shell?" Ye Yun swept his mocking gaze over the rebellious teenagers present. As expected, Sima had a bit of a reaction. Causing trouble in the colony satellite was really crossing her red line. "You won't have to pay for the MS deployment this time, but you still have to compensate for this vehicle. This kid is probably the leader, so he'll be responsible for 40% of the total amount! As for you, Amuro, what did you want to say to me before?"

Backlit, Ye Yun looked like a demon devouring the light source. Amuro swallowed hard, suddenly feeling a bit intimidated. After all, whether as a veteran of the battlefield or the commander of the 13th Mobile Unit, Ye Yun's aura was simply too overwhelming. To Amuro, the pressure was terrifying. "My father..."

"Dr. Tim Ray?" Ye Yun tilted his head.

"I want to see him."

"No problem. By the way, I can also help you video call your mother. It's just that it might be a bit late now, and it wouldn't be polite to wake her up."

"Really?!" Amuro was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I'm taking this person with me. As for these few, investigate them carefully to see if someone incited this group of brainless idiots." Ye Yun pointed to Kai, Hayato Kobayashi, and the others who were lying on the ground.

"Yes!" The military police nodded. Ye Yun said that the situation was basically considered settled, but since Ye Yun said they only needed to pay compensation, they probably wouldn't have to go to jail.

"Let's go!" Ye Yun waved to Amuro, turned around and walked towards the car. Aina used the communicator in the car to tell Sima the general situation. Sima drove back in the Dagger 105, cursing.

"Yes!" Amuro followed excitedly.

"Captain, isn't this a bit against secrecy...?" A junior military policeman approached the military police captain and whispered.

"Shut up. If Colonel Ye Yun really is part of the mobile unit, what right do we have to interfere? Besides, he's the son of the development department director. Colonel Ye Yun is just taking some people in to see his father; he'll know what's going on." The military police captain watched as Ye Yun started the vehicle and quickly signaled the guard post to raise the fence.

"Then these few..." The soldier immediately understood. They couldn't be touched or controlled. As long as they didn't go too far, they could do whatever they wanted.

"Didn't Commander Ye Yun say that the vehicle cost has to be reimbursed?" The military police captain smirked. "Go and ask how much a used bulldozer costs. There are quite a few here at the base."

"Captain? You're just letting them go like that?"

"Are you stupid? As long as we have a car to deliver to the original owner, that's enough. Commander Ye Yun said that any extras are ours."

"When did he..."

"You're really stupid! Get out!"

Chapter 153 Cover up

"What's wrong?" While waiting for Tim Ray to arrive, Ye Yun had Amuro make a video call with his mother. Camaria Ray on the video was in tears, but she told Amuro that she had moved to East Asia. Ye's Heavy Industries had arranged a job for her and her neighbors at a fruit canning factory. Although they often worked overtime recently due to the high demand from the Federation Army, everyone was quite happy.

Then, his mother's care brought tears to Amuro's eyes, who hadn't experienced family affection in a long time. He poured out his heart about a series of recent events, until he mentioned his father's research project. Ye Yun rushed up and covered Amuro's mouth. "Why does this brat always blurt things out? The military police's corrective palm strike didn't seem strong enough?"

"I'm sorry, this involves military secrets. I don't know how this silly boy found out, but it's for your own good that you don't know. Please forgive me." Then Ye Yun tapped Amuro's head to calm him down before walking aside to let Amuro continue talking to his mother.

However, whether it was because of this interruption or some other reason, the mother and son did not talk for long before ending the call and disconnecting.

"Thank you." Amuro thanked Ye Yun with great gratitude. This communication alone had cost a fortune. Even though his father was the director of a federal classified project, he probably couldn't afford such a terrifying expense. So Amuro's thanks were sincere.

"To be honest, I thought you would plead with me for your friends." Ye Yun was somewhat curious about this (in Origin, Amuro silently abandoned Kai and the others and went back alone), "What? Aren't you friends?"

“We’re definitely not friends,” Amuro said in a very low voice.

"Ha..." Ye Yun sighed, exchanged a glance with Aina, and looked at Amuro with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. "Then why are you acting so recklessly? When those soldiers fired, they really meant to kill you. Even if this is not a Federation military facility, trespassing into the construction area of ​​the Colony Satellite Commune and damaging equipment, do you know how big of a lawsuit you will face?"

Amuro fell silent. He also realized how incredibly stupid it would have been to agree to go along with Kai's reckless behavior...

"..." At this moment, Aina received a call, then sighed, whispered a few words in Ye Yun's ear, and returned to the table. It seemed that the call had ended, and the military police asked about the "method of payment of the fine," obviously asking Ye Yun how much he wanted. Aina directly refused without saying anything else, just asking the military police to reduce the amount a bit.

The military police understood immediately and told the parents of the unruly children that Colonel Ye Yun had paid 20% of the cost on their behalf (the portion he had originally intended to give to Ye Yun). The parents were extremely grateful.

"My father is busy with work, so I appreciate your help in sending me directly back, right?" Amuro spoke up before Ye Yun could even open his mouth.

"You guessed right. It seems like this isn't the first or second time." Ye Yun shook his head speechlessly. It has to be said that Mule and Duck are a really good match. Both of them have some awkwardness in their personalities due to changes in their original families. However, their different circumstances afterward led them to different directions.
