DPM Chapter 80-Strength Part 1

After Mozun finished the conversation with the Federation, he and Wu Xingyun stayed with Dai Rong. Revisiting their old haunts brought up ineffable feelings. The basement where they’d lived remained, although it’d become ramshackle over the years. Putting it back in order, they moved in once more.

Dai Rong smiled at their behavior, saying to the two men: “You’re both really nostalgic. There’s much better places for you to stay, but you insist on this basement.”

Wu Xingyun and Mozun looked at each other and smiled, their hearts the same—no matter how bad a place was, so long as they were together, it became paradise.

 

 

The lives of those on Earth had carried on. They might have developed new habits, yet they were fundamentally unchanged.
While the state of affairs in the Federation was completely different.

The Federation now consisted of about forty thousand people. A seemingly endless space voyage had instead found them cowering on the moon. Although, with arduous work, their moon base was perfected, and extraction of many ores commenced.

If one were to closely look down at the moon, they’d see that most of the craters on its surface had been razed. Semicircular bunker-type buildings connected to each other, one after another. A myriad of mining bots toiled frenetically, plundering every metal and natural resource available from the satellite.

Towards the center of the bunkers was a highly sturdy and large building, and as one got closer, the logo on the building clearly read Luoshi Research.

Luoshi Research had grown from its initial seven staff members to more than seventy. Nearly all the biologists in the Federation worked there.

Because of its unyielding military backers, Luoshi Research had also virtually destroyed their competitors. Leaving Ouyang Yi, the ex-husband of Luoshi Research’s head, out in the cold, unable to conduct any meaningfully profitable research.

He’d beseeched his ex-wife in soft tones, angling to obtain a high position in the company. However his ex-wife, Luo Ying, no longer possessed any sentiment towards their past relationship. She was willing to give him a job, while being emphatically unwilling to give him any Luoshi Research shares.

Considering such an offer beneath him, and feeling shamed resentment, Ouyang Yi had scampered off, thwarted.

Using his current wife for an introduction, Ouyang Yi segued into becoming a committee member on the Federation Expansion Committee.

When the Federation first discovered that the Earth was once again suited for human survival, almost everyone’s first thought was to immediately return. Only Ouyang Yi considered that such a matter wouldn’t be easy, strongly urging that the people still on Earth be contacted.

 

 

Now Ouyang Yi sat in the conference room of the Federation Expansion Committee, unwaveringly staring at the man on the screen.

The video had already been viewed countless times by Federal people. A few recognized the young man who talked wildly and disparagingly to the Federation—just a common soldier from back then. But many more didn’t recognize him at all.

Though the Night Shard’s words had become the hot topic to be discussed. The Federation had located a new planet where human life would be sustainable about twenty light-years away. What wasn’t know was whether that planet already had some form of primitive life.

Therefore, Earth was believed to presently be the better option.

Numerous debates behind them, the Federation unanimously approved sending down to Earth a Federation representative to have talks with the Night Shard. As for the specific person to go—all eyes landed on Ouyang Yi.

Giving him the sensation of sitting on pins and needles.

Yet the opportunity of reaching an agreement with the Night Shard, being the one to ensure that the Federation returned to the Earth, was too great an opportunity to pass up. The credit he’d receive would restore Ouyang Yi to the status he knew he deserved.

Without waiting for anyone else to open their mouths, Ouyang Yi stood up and said: “I am willing to go down to Earth and negotiate with the Night Shard. In the past, I was on a friendly basis with him, but you’ve all heard him. He desires that the Federation send a high-level official, and therefore I by myself don’t qualify.”

There were nods of agreement. This was a highly important Federation event. Some wanted Luo Ying, the Federation’s most prestigious biologist, to go.

 

 

However, when Luo Ying heard that Ouyang Yi was also going, she claimed to be too busy.

And she was not being dishonest or pretentious. She truly was completely buried in studying the organic structure and genomics of the new target planet. It had been the latest task given her by the military, resulting in her not leaving her research rooms for two months.

Although she did take time to write a letter to be given to Ye Fan, supposing he’d managed to live.

Luo Ying had no idea that the mutant called the Night Shard was actually the Ye Fan she’d known. She believed that Wu Xingyun had to have died, while Ye Fan’s odds of survival would have been low. The Federation was still inseparable from the moon for a while. When she finished her current research, and if Ye Fan were still alive, she’d have plenty of time to see him then. Maybe……in ten years, she and Ye Fan could travel to the new planet together.

From the very start, Luo Ying’s firm conviction was that the Earth was no longer suitable for humankind. She felt humanity’s future lay out in the vast cosmos. Yet, despite firmly disapproving of the Federation going back to live on the Earth, she still wasn’t interested in influencing policy or being involved in the decision making process. She expressed her opposing opinions, and then immediately dove back headfirst into her research.
