Chapter 490: Kings, Princes, Generals and Ministers
【It is reported that there were large-scale protests in the twelve urban areas of PLANT a few days ago. 】

[The government sent a large number of security forces to try to quell the riot.]

[But, they don’t know! This is not a simple protest, it is a mockery of the arrogance of power, a challenge to the unjust system, and a firm defense of the right to survive! The people of PLANT use their actions to declare to the world: We are no longer silent lambs, we are warriors who want to fight for the right to live for ourselves and our descendants! ]

[ZAFT military government, did you hear that? This is not just a roar of hunger, but also an accusation of your incompetence and dereliction of duty! Look at these people, their eyes are burning with a yearning for freedom, a pursuit of dignity, and an endless desire for a better life! ]

【Let us cheer for the people of PLANT and applaud their bravery and tenacity! May this storm not only break the shackles of hunger, but also awaken those dormant hearts, let the light of justice, equality, and freedom illuminate this land, make PLANT a true land of hope, and let every life bloom with dignity here! 】

Watching the reports from the Atlantic Federation gradually appearing on his mobile phone, a skinny uncle in an ordinary pigeon cage in May City looked up at the fireworks that kept rising from the street not far away, his eyes uncertain.

If you move the camera to the street, you can see that the entire street is in a state of chaos, and disorder has replaced order.

However, the police organization within PLANT retreated again and again, appearing to be particularly restrained.

"Mom, I don't want to eat synthetic meat."

Facing the simulated sunset that seeped in through the tiny gap outside the window, a little girl behind her father was staring at the piece of flesh in front of her that was not even flesh.

It has no chewiness, no taste, and lacks many nutrients. Not only girls, but no normal person would like it.

"Just bear with it a little longer, dear."

At this moment, the mother looked pale and thin, and did not look like a beautiful adjuster at all.

PLANT Prices here are already high, and if they go up even more, most people will either starve to death or wait to be starved to death.

Although synthetic meat can barely satisfy hunger, it is only slightly better than tree bark. It is okay to eat it mixed with real food, but if you eat it all the time, problems will gradually arise.

And now half a month has passed, and even the price of synthetic meat has gone up.

"I think people are almost starving to death. What's the point of fighting for their dignity?"

The girl's father looked up at the black fog outside the window again, which looked like smoke, and seemed to be able to hear the heart-wrenching protests from the crowd.

The extreme shortage of food was like an invisible blade that pierced deeply into their hearts, and hunger and despair gradually became the norm.

All the evil deeds of the Atlantic Federation that seemed unimaginable before now seemed like other people's business.

"But the school said that we would have food to eat once we defeated the Atlantic Federation."

The girl who had been looking depressed just now suddenly said.

"Yeah, of course that's what the school says."

The girl's father smiled.

There is no malice, just deep helplessness.

But if that is really the case, why do they have to go hungry to cook a meal for their daughter, while those people can eat meat and fish every day and live in the most luxurious mansions.

It even has its own asteroid, looking down on them from above.

Obviously, everyone is just an adjuster.

The Atlantic Federation is right about one thing: power and injustice are what they need to address.

Thinking of the news he had been seeing recently, the girl’s father clenched his fists.

I heard that there is still a lot of food stored in the PLANT on Earth, but they deceived the people.
Said those were all contaminated by the Atlantic Federation.

It was even said that many high-ranking officials had stored grain. He did not want to die for them, as this was totally irrational.

Why, they have to pay for the orders from above.

Without their orders, even though their lives would be a little difficult now, it would not be like this.

"Dad, Mr. He Kui will solve the problem."

The girl said seriously.

"He's just one of them."

With a deep sigh, the father stood up, walked to the front of the little girl, half squatted down, and rubbed the girl's head with his hands that were slightly cold due to not eating for a long time.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes couldn't help but deepen a little.

"Eat quickly."

"Um"

This is not a solution. If they do nothing, we will just let them starve to death.

Well, for the sake of his family, he had no choice but to give it his all.

鈥滀汉鐖鐖搖殑鈥

The girl's mother looked at his green, fierce eyes and nervously held his hand.

"do not go."

"Too dangerous."

Just as he finished speaking, the TV that was broadcasting ordinary news suddenly flickered.

He Kui's appearance was projected into everyone's eyes through countless large screens on the streets and televisions at home, and his voice was even transmitted through the speakers inside the colonial satellite.

【My fellow PLANT members, I can feel the anxiety and worry in your hearts. We have experienced so much together during these difficult days, and the food shortage has undoubtedly made our lives even worse. But please allow me, as an ordinary person, to solemnly tell you: We have never forgotten, and we are always together. 】

The young man on TV spoke softly, his tone still gentle as usual, but with a reassuring power.

【I know that every night when you look up at the stars, your heart may be filled with doubts and fears. But please believe that it is these difficult times that have forged the indomitable spirit of our PLANT people. We have never given up, and will never give up the pursuit of a better future. 】

[Today, I stand here not as a representative of a certain team or a certain force, but as one of you, to tell you that we have found a new way, a way that can make us bloom the flower of hope in difficult situations.]

[This technology has been put into mass production in ten districts of June City. The first batch of emergency food will be released tonight. This is just our first step.]

Along with He Kui's words, the vast farmlands thriving against the backdrop of the universe appeared on the screen.

There are green vegetables and rice here, which are divided into rows and areas, which is very magnificent.

[I will do my best to ensure that this technology can enter every household as soon as possible, free our children from hunger and fear, and let our families regain the long-lost peace and happiness.]

[Please believe that from this moment on, we no longer need to fear the threat of hunger, and no longer worry about tomorrow's table. Because we have found the key to open the door of hope. ]

[So, my dear compatriots, let us wipe away our tears, hold our chests high, and greet every dawn. Because when the first ray of sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines on this land we love so much, it will be the brightest and most glorious moment for our PLANT.]

As He Kui spoke, the simulated sunlight from the hydroponic chamber began to shine on the plants. Swaying in the wind, they emitted sparkling golden light, as if foreshadowing their future full of hope.
