Chapter 97 Leaving
PLANT, a colony located in L5, consists of about 92 colonial satellites and has become a new home for adjusters who escape persecution on Earth. Like its name, PLANT mainly conducts research and agricultural production, but their unique design also creates a vibrant and lush natural environment through abundant plants and flowing water.
These hourglass style structures consist of two disc-shaped living areas with a diameter of ten kilometers, which rotate around a point in the central area between them to generate artificial gravity. Anchoring each living area and the central area are a central axis tower up to 30 kilometers and a high-intensity fixed cable distributed by the edge network. A set of high-speed elevators connect the living area and the central area inside the axial tower. A set of mirrors fixed outside the central area is used to reflect sunlight into the interior of the living area.
These cosmic colonies, called ominous hourglass by the Earth Army, are divided into 12 regions (cities) surrounding them. In addition to the December city that is still being built, each city has about 10 colonial satellites, and each city has a different direction of responsibility, which has produced an extremely good classification of production and life.
Rhodes walked out of the Cosmic Port of February and found that the city in charge of biological and genetic research is no different from other colonial satellites. If you have to say something different, it is that the alert here should be relaxed and there is no noticeable goal to come here.
"You are Mr. Rod Laurenz." As soon as he walked out of the Cosmic Port, a magnetic male voice rang in his ears. Rhode turned his head and looked at the person entrusted by Cruze: This man had purple-black hair until his waist, and was still wearing the white coat worn by the researcher and had not taken off his face, and a gentle smile was also on his face.
"Yeah, it's me." Rhode's face was faint. He didn't expect that Cruze actually sent a researcher to cover his retreat. His face was already unfair.
"Ah, then get in the car." The man did not feel embarrassed at all. After letting Rhode get in, he said: "My name is Gilbert Dylandal. Now he is in the city's main genetic research work this February, and he is also a friend of Lao."
"Good luck, I want to know how long it takes to leave PLANT." Rhodes had no interest in who this man was and what he did. He also knew that the Fenrier was already waiting for him in the reserved area.
"Soon, you go to my residence to rest first. Lao is going to go to the earth to command the battle. When he sets off, he will come to February City first. You can take a ride at that time."
"Oh, that's good." Rhode responded lightly, but could not wait. The longer he stayed in PLANT, the greater the danger. He didn't know what method Speaker Klein would use to deal with him. As he expected, Speaker Klein was also furious at this time, and it was not easy to let anyone kill more than ten confidants be killed.
In contrast, the old guy Patrick was very happy. He didn't expect that Rhode would give such a big gift before leaving PLANT. Under his instruction, the ZAFT security forces were also slowly working.
"Arrival." After about ten minutes of driving, Dylandal drove to a 2-story villa and stopped. Although the villa is not big, it is quite exquisite. I think it is a good place to stay even in PLANT.
Rhode was not polite, and followed Dylandal into the door. It was not as luxurious as he thought. Instead, it felt empty. Living in such a large house, the furniture was simple, but the bookshelf covering the entire hall was very shocking.
"Let's sit first. Lao has already set out from April City. He will be here in a few hours. You can change your clothes first." Dylandal hung up the phone and put a ZAFT green military uniform in front of Rhodes.
Rhode smiled bitterly, took off his black suit and put on the ZAFT military uniform. He really felt a little incredible. The one he wore the most in the past few days was the ZAFT military uniform. You should know that on the battlefield, this man solved countless young people wearing this military uniform.
"Oh? Is there anyone else here?" General Rhode put on his uniform, his ears caught the small movement from the door, and his wolf-like eyes swept over instantly.
"Ah, this is the kid I take care of." Dylandal smiled, signaling Rhode not to be nervous, and then waved to the door that opened a gap and said, "Come on, Lei, see Mr. Cruze's friend."
"It's really a child." Rhode's hand on the dagger on his waist was easily opened. He didn't trust anyone, let alone Dylandal, who had met for the first time, but he was relieved to see a blond boy who was only in his teens.
The child named Lei slowly walked in. The coordinator's child was more precocious and was not afraid of the stranger Rhode, but instead stood beside Dylandal and looked at Rhode with interest.
"Oh? Mr. Dylandal, is this your son?" Rod always felt that the child had a familiar smell, but he just glanced at it and did not show much interest.
"No, I can only be considered to be taken care of by me." Dylandal chuckled and added: "I'm not married yet, how could I have children?"
"Oh? You are not married at the age of your coordinator, so it's a bit rare." Rhode asked casually. Dylandal is at least nearly 30 years old, and it is indeed a bit strange to implement the mandatory marriage policy.
"Everyone has some hidden secrets, are you right?" Dylandal stared at Rhodes with a smile.
"You are right. Mr. Dylandal, everyone's pursuit of life is different. I pursue blood and battles. You may be pursuing scientific progress. As for family and women, it is indeed not something we can consider." Rhode agreed with Dylandal's words. He himself was the same. Family is just a luxury.
"It seems that we are also the same type of people, and we are all working towards our goals." Dylandal nodded without comment, but he smiled slightly in his heart. For the sake of science, his goal should be bigger.
Rhodes and Dylandal are very good at talking. To a certain extent, the two have a lot of similarities. Although this cannot make them friends, the atmosphere is not so heavy.
It was not until a few hours later that Rhodes stood up and said goodbye after learning that Cruze's ship "Bestalus" had docked in the February City Universe Harbor.
When he saw Cruze in the Nasca-class bridge, Rhode said lightly: "Your friend is very interesting." He gave Dylandal a comment.
Cruze's answer is even simpler, just an elegant smile that remains unchanged for thousands of years.
