And just like that, the first wedding the children had ever experienced came to an end.
For the children, this was a very fresh experience. First, Guanghe 02 moved to a separate small house. According to Fang Zheng, married men and women will have their own home. This immediately made others envious. After all, everyone wants to have a small world of their own. So after that, others also took action, but unfortunately...
"Ha? Are you kidding? You want me to marry you?"
Future put his hands on his hips and looked at Chunweizi unhappily, while the latter also had a frivolous smile on his face.
"Yeah, you see, Guang and 02 both moved into a big house after they got married, so I think if we get married we can also move into a big house, isn't that great?"
"You idiot!"
Hearing Chunzhi's words, Weilai almost slapped him in the face in anger.
"So you married me just for the big house?"
"Yes, it's such a big house for two of us to live in. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
“Bang!!!”
This time, the slap from Future was real, and then she turned around and left angrily.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"You are just an idiot! A fool! A fool! I don't want to see you again!"
"Humph! If you don't agree, forget it. I'll go find someone else!"
Standing on the balcony, watching the farce below, Fang Zheng also laughed and shook his head. After all, these children had never experienced anything like this before, so it was inevitable that they would lose their composure, but Fang Zheng believed that they would calm down after a while.
In fact, just as Fang Zheng thought, although everyone was very lively for a while after 02 and Guang got married, they soon returned to their ordinary daily life. For the children, this kind of life is very peaceful and reassuring. Although life is a little hard, they don’t have to risk their lives to fight against dragons, and they can still live a fulfilling life every day. For them, it is already a pretty good life.
You know, when they left the mobile city, they were still worried about what kind of life they would live in the future. Now it seems that this life... doesn't seem so bad?
But unfortunately, the peaceful days always come to an end. On this day, Seventh Sister found Fang Zheng again.
"X, I have something important to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Before, I told you that APE gave us an order. I originally wanted to inform you of this mission, but... at that time..."
"Then why do you want to talk about it now?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng looked at Seventh Sister curiously, and the latter hesitated.
"In fact, all the mobile cities are currently heading towards the same location, which is called the Great Rift. According to APE, that is where we will have our final battle with the Dragon Caller. As long as we can occupy the Great Rift, we can end the war between us and the Dragon Caller forever..."
"But what's the point of you saying this now? We have already defected."
“Because I think this is human life.”
As she spoke, Seventh Sister looked out the window, where she saw children playing games happily.
"Although it's not perfect, this is the life that humans should have. As long as we end the war with the dragons, we can usher in a brand new life. By then, I think... everyone can live a peaceful life like we do now."
How naive.
Listening to what Seventh Sister said, Fang Zheng shook his head silently. Let's not talk about whether there is any shady deal in the APE plan. Even if humans really defeat the dragons in the end, given the current situation, it is hard to say whether they will start fighting each other.
However, he was not surprised that the Seventh Sister had such thoughts. Under the rule of APE, everyone, including the Seventh Sister and the children, had been distorted, so they certainly did not think that the other party would do such a thing. They naively believed that as long as the Dragon was completely eliminated, they would be able to welcome a better future.
“I can’t decide this on my own.”
Fang Zheng shook his head.
"Call everyone over and listen to other people's opinions."
Soon, the other children were gathered together by Fang Zheng using the loudspeaker at the entrance of the village. Then Seventh Sister told them the whole situation again. After listening to Seventh Sister's words, the children fell into silence.
"So, who's for? Who's against?"
"I object!"
02The first opening.
"What does the life and death of the APE group have to do with us? In the final analysis, they are still using us. Besides, what can we do? Don't forget that we are traitors! Besides, it doesn't matter if we are gone. It's just a small team. If they think they can fight, let them fight!"
Now 02 and Guang are living a happy married life, so they are naturally not bothered by these things.
"Me too."
Guang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I will never forgive APE for what they did to us, so I don't feel the need to assist them."
"Two votes against."
Fang Zheng made a note and looked at the others.
"What do you think?"
"this……"
The others looked at each other, then turned to Fang Zheng.
"X, what do you say?"
"I won't comment on this occasion."
Fang Zheng shook his head.
“You make the choice, and I’ll make it.”
“…”
Hearing this, the children gasped and felt a lot more nervous. In the past, they didn't need to make their own decisions, as long as Fang Zheng gave orders, but this time they had to make their own decisions... which made everyone hesitate.
And at this moment, Mei raised her hand.
"I want to ask, Seventh Sister said before that the order to capture the Great Rift was issued before we left the Thirteenth City. Now that such a long time has passed, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Because the battle for the Great Rift has begun."
The Seventh Sister whispered, then she reached out and pressed her communication device, and soon, an image appeared on the screen in front of the children.
It was a video of the battle of the mobile city. In the center of the video, there was a huge circular fortress that looked like an upside-down pot on the ground. In the cracks of the fortress, countless dragons emerged and rushed in all directions.
The scene was like a dense army of cockroaches, countless in number.
Near the circular fortress, mobile cities are moving towards it. The dragons also attacked the mobile cities that tried to attack the circular fortress. However, these cities have their own Franks mecha teams, so they can still withstand some of the attacks for now.
However, there are too many dragons.
The children also saw that many members of the Franks mecha team were torn to pieces by the dragon's attack. Seeing this, they suddenly fell silent. The children were indeed very disgusted with APE's behavior, but there was no conflict between these mecha teams and them. After all, they were all pilots...
"I think we should go and help them."
Future spoke hesitantly.
"There are too many of these dragons. They can't handle it all by themselves."
"But, but... there are only a few of us. What's the point of going there... and we don't even have a place to go back to..."
The little fat man also expressed his thoughts in a worried manner. Hearing this, the others fell silent. Indeed, the Franks mecha needs magma fuel to drive it. In the past, if they ran out of fuel, they could return to the mobile city for supplies, but now they have defected from the mobile city. Wouldn't it be a trap to go back?
But if I don’t go back…what if I run out of fuel?
"Look at this!!"
At this moment, Xin suddenly pointed at the screen and shouted. Everyone looked up and saw a moving city coming to the front of the circular fortress, slowly climbing up under the attack of the dragons. Then the next moment, a fire suddenly appeared, and then the whole moving city exploded!
"The mobile city exploded?"
Seeing this, the children were stunned.
“There are quite a few people living there!!”
Of course the children knew the situation of the mobile cities. After all, every mobile city was similar. However, what they didn't expect was that APE was so ruthless this time and used the mobile cities as bombs to capture the big rift!
“I think we should go and help.”
Wulang hesitated for a moment and expressed his opinion.
"Although we have fallen out with APE, we are driving the Franks mecha to protect our city, right? If we don't go now, are we going to stand by and watch our companions die?"
Seeing how brutal the battle to capture the Great Rift was, the children began to talk about it. Fang Zheng just stood by and said nothing. Just like he said, this time it was the children who made the decision, not him.
They made a decision and they have to pay the price.
Facts have proved that girls are more or less soft-hearted. Mirai, Ichi and Kokoro all agreed to go to support, Yuno abstained, and although 02 expressed opposition at first, perhaps because he became much softer-hearted after getting married, he finally abstained with Guang.
As for the boys, Junweizi chose to abstain, while Goro and the fat boy decided to go to help.
No need to look, since there are no dissenting votes, the result is already determined.
"It looks like you've made your decision."
Fang Zheng stood up and stared at the children.
"You know, once you leave here, you may never come back, and your peaceful days here will be over. Even so, do you still want to go?"
“…”
Everyone nodded silently.
"Well, since you have made your decision, I have nothing to say."
Fang Zheng shook his head and stood up.
"Get ready, let's go, I hope it's not too late."
