Chapter 134 Chapter 134 Grand Fireworks Show
Ye Ning looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Lu Tai calling.
The countdown on the live broadcast still has fifty minutes left.
She didn't answer the call directly. Instead, she looked at everyone and said, "Have you finished eating? If you're done, we'll go to the growing room."
Everyone ate very conservatively, so there were quite a few dumplings left on the table.
Upon hearing this, Le Song quickly quickened his eating pace. "Eat quickly! If there's any leftovers, the chef will be furious."
If they get angry, they won’t have their next good meal.
Everyone didn't care about anything else and started eating quickly.
The group devoured all the dumplings in no time, finishing them in just five minutes.
During this period, Ye Ning's bracelet never stopped vibrating.
And it wasn't just her bracelet that was vibrating, soon Hou Lin and Gu Yu's bracelets also started vibrating.
Hou Lin looked at the bracelet and said, "It's the mayor of the direct-controlled area calling."
Gu Yu also said: "Mine is the deputy district chief."
Ye Ning nodded, "Let them wait for a moment, we'll go to the planting room first."
She doesn't add people casually. The only person in the Federation who can communicate with her directly is Lutai.
For the rest of the people, very important ones can contact Hou Lin first, and those who are farther away can come to her. She also has a special team responsible for communication, so everyone helps her save a lot of trouble.
Knowing that they were anxious, Ye Ning didn't waste too much time and took everyone directly to the planting room.
It's still early and there are still many researchers in the institute.
Such a big thing happened today, everyone is talking about it.
The peace on Seadust Star was hard-won. Just recently, everyone was working together to research planting techniques and expand the planting area. No one could have imagined that something like this would happen just a few months after the peace.
But when everyone saw Ye Ning, they immediately put aside their worries and greeted her happily.
Ye Ning also greeted each researcher she met with a smile.
After she left, the researchers behind her couldn't help but admire her.
"With so many things happening recently, Lord Ye Ning was still able to calm down and focus on raising seedlings."
"Yes, she's the only one who would come to the planting room after dinner."
"As soon as I saw Master Ye Ning, I immediately felt much more at ease."
"Yes, I was just worried that we might not need to grow plants anymore in the future. They all said that fused orcs don't need plants because using plants will purify the pollutants in the body and reduce their abilities."
"Heh, if it merges with pollutants, it becomes a monster even more monstrous than a deformed orc. Haven't you ever felt the feeling of pollutants in your body?"
"That's right. Sigh, I don't know if the Federation can successfully eliminate these rebels this time..."
Although they spoke very quietly, Hou Lin and his companions still heard it, and Ye Ning also heard it.
Hou Lin frowned slightly. "These young researchers are too impatient. I'll have to ask the dean to teach them a lesson later."
Ye Ning: "It's normal for everyone to be worried."
In fact, Ye Ning could understand them. In such a chaotic situation, everyone was more worried and confused about the future.
It is an indisputable fact that there are few resources on the Dust Star. They have tried every possible means just to find a glimmer of hope.
But now, the goals and directions of centuries past have suddenly deviated strangely, as if we were suddenly placed at a foggy and extremely dangerous crossroads. No one knows which direction to go, and the slightest misstep could lead to disaster.
By the time they arrived at the growing room, there were only 30 minutes left until the final ultimatum deadline.
Ye Ning rolled up his sleeves, loosened his collar, and adjusted himself to the most suitable position for work.
It was at this time that Gu Su suddenly said, "There is new news."
"These districts say that Lord Feng Yue and Lord Yan Gang are within these districts, but they are not sure where exactly."
"Those districts directly pinned their recent photos along with the federal law protecting pure humans, but the federation has just blocked the news."
Hou Lin also said: "People in the group are also saying that the Federation is looking for the president of the Pure Human Association."
However, he felt that it was useless to ask the president of the Pure Human Association to come forward. If it were not for the strict protection of pure humans in each district and they did not know the specific location of Hu Ding, they might have already gone to Hu Ding.
Ye Ning immediately became interested. "So even if a pure human joins the rebels and is harmed by the Federation, will the Federation also be subject to legal sanctions?"
Yan Gang is no longer a pure human being, but Feng Yue arrived just in time.
Gu Su explained, "Federal law takes precedence over the autonomous laws of each region. Even marine orcs must strictly abide by them when on land. According to federal law, any act that harms pure humans or ignores their safety must be severely punished."
Ye Ning looked at them. "But the current leader of the rebels is Hu Ding. If the Federation finds Hu Ding and wants to arrest him, can't they do anything to harm him?"
Everyone nodded as if it was a matter of course. Hou Lin also said, "After all, Hu Ding is a pure human. Even if he ordered all this, the main responsibility still lies with the high-ranking orcs of the rebel army. If they hadn't instigated Hu Ding, how could Hu Ding alone have developed into the current force he has?"
The tolerance of the Dust Star towards pure humans is indeed very high.
The rebels' actions were self-evident. If the Federation attacked them directly, it would likely harm or kill the pure humans inside.
As for whether the two of them were really there and whether they were really injured, it is hard to say.
Inside the rebel zone.
Feng Yue was sitting on the sofa, looking at the message projected in front of him.
The beastmen nearby were all holding weapons and wearing clothes made of special materials that covered them tightly from head to toe. However, this did not affect Feng Yue's good mood at all.
She crossed her arms over her chest, sweeping away the dejected look she had shown some time ago, and looked even more arrogant than before.
The internet is full of news about her and Yan Gang, but everyone is saying that she is the only pure human.
She was the only one who could do it. She didn't believe that the Federation would dare to directly attack the rebel area with her around.
Her choice of Shanghai was indeed the right one.
Feng Yue glanced at Yan Gang, who was still pacing around the room. She became impatient and raised her voice, "Can't you be a little quieter?"
Yan Gang looked at her and snorted coldly, "You have no right to yell at me here."
"I'm not qualified?" Feng Yue also laughed, his eyes full of disdain. "If I weren't here, do you think the Federation really wouldn't dare to touch you?"
Yan Gang's face instantly turned ashen. He glared at Feng Yue fiercely, "I am a new human. If you don't evolve, you will be eliminated one day."
Feng Yue wasn't affected by his words at all. She smoothed her hair gracefully, a hint of sarcasm still hanging on the corner of her mouth. "It was Lord Hu Ding's decision not to let me evolve. My innate ability is far superior to yours. Even if I evolve, I won't completely lose my planting ability like you. Who do you think will be eliminated?"
Yan Gang stared at her, his eyes full of anger. His chest heaved violently and his breathing became rapid.
Yan Gang suddenly stared at her intently and approached her step by step.
But when he was about to reach Feng Yue, he was stopped by an orc.
"Lord Yan Gang."
The voices of these orcs have been processed through voice changers, so they can't even tell whether each other is male or female.
Feng Yue sat on the sofa, raised her eyes and looked at him with disdain and provocation.
Although his health improved, his IQ did not improve much, and his temper even became worse.
What right does he have to tell her what to do?
The orc continued, "Master Yan Gang, please go and drink some water."
The orc next to him immediately handed over a kettle.
Yan Gang immediately took the kettle and drank it in big gulps.
He drank very quickly but very steadily. In the end, only one or two drops of dark green to black liquid remained on the edge of his mouth, but he immediately licked the remaining liquid into his mouth without missing a single drop.
After drinking the water, Yan Gang finally calmed down.
He no longer paid any attention to Feng Yue, nor even looked at her, and stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking out from here, the area was brightly lit, but the most striking thing was the strict military measures surrounding this area.
In the farthest video footage, the Federation had already set up their weapons and pointed their guns at them.
At the edge of the interior, defense robots quietly shuttled through the night sky, and the patrol teams on the ground also maintained a high level of vigilance. If you look closely, you will find that they are dressed just like the orcs here, all in strict uniform from head to toe.
Yan Gang stared out the window, his slightly red eyes rarely calming down.
The situation took a turn for the worse. The presence of Yan Gang and Feng Yue inside made the surrounding federal officers hesitate in an instant.
Clearly, according to existing law, whoever initiates a war and causes harm to pure humans must bear responsibility for harming pure humans. They came here to receive military honors, and if they don't receive any because of this, and are instead court-martialed...
While everyone was hesitating, Ye Ning, who had handled everything, finally called back.
On the other side of the screen was not the owner of the bracelet, Lu Tai, but a female secretary in her thirties.
Ye Ning smiled at her and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't see the message from the bracelet just now."
"You need my help?"
"It just so happens that I also have a small request. Can you agree to it?"
…
One Fengyue is not enough to make the Federation stop.
Because the Federation's opponent at this time is the aggressive rebel army. If they give up the attack just for a pure human, it means that the rebel army can use a pure human to shackle the Federation at will.
Of course, if the person inside today was Ye Ning, then the Federation would really have only one option, which was to withdraw its troops.
Under the organization of the Federation, Ye Ning quickly started an impromptu speech.
Although the rebels cut off the information channels within the region, the Federation naturally has other ways.
But this method cannot be used lightly.
Ye Ning's live broadcast footage was directly transmitted through the satellite line's security warning system, and then relayed to the wristbands of all residents around the world through a pre-installed exclusive data link.
This security system, which does not require any network and can issue early warnings anytime and anywhere, has become the best information dissemination route.
All residents around the world received a system notification at the same time, but this time, it was not a danger warning, but an iconic avatar representing Ye Ning.
Even Xilos in the deep sea received the relevant push at the same time.
Seeing that it was the news that Ye Ning was about to go live, he clicked on it without hesitation.
The camera moved, and Ye Ning's clear face came into view. She was looking at the camera and asking the people around her if she had adjusted the picture.
Ye Ning's voice is very clear, especially when she softens her voice, it gives people an indescribable sense of closeness.
This feeling of brightness and friendliness instantly dispelled everyone's fatigue and anxiety.
Ye Ning finally adjusted the lens.
She stood in front of the planting table, smiled and waved to everyone, saying hello.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Ning."
It was still her usual opening remarks, but the familiar tone and voice, filled with enthusiasm and warmth, made many people's eyes fill with tears instantly.
Although Ye Ning was broadcasting live, he did not stop what he was doing.
"Long time no see. Today is the weekend. Have you all gone out with your family to enjoy the rare leisure time?"
A seed gradually took root and sprouted in her hands, and then grew into a 30-centimeter-tall sapling.
Ye Ning smiled at the camera and said, "We have already cultivated the saplings for Gaojiang District in the past few days, so now we are cultivating the saplings needed by other districts."
"A lot has happened recently, and everyone seems to be discussing, worrying about, and confused about the future. Just now, on my way to the growing room, I heard someone saying that the rebels have successfully created fused orcs, so maybe we won't need to grow plants anymore."
"Actually, I've also thought about these things that everyone's been discussing recently."
"But I also think that we have gone through countless difficult moments to get to where we are today."
"Our planet has been desolate for hundreds and thousands of years. It is the concerted efforts and unwavering faith of our ancestors that have given us the opportunity to continue surviving."
"Over the past few months, we've been reclaiming wasteland step by step, addressing soil, environmental, and seed issues. We've planted seeds and watched them sprout and grow. Our researchers have been racking their brains to cultivate and optimize seeds, and everyone has been working diligently on the land. This is how we're no longer threatened by a tide of pollutants and no longer have to live in an environment filled with pollutants."
"So I think that integrating orcs might be a new direction, but it can't replace the deep bond we have with the land and the plants. We can't just abandon what we've been pursuing for thousands of years because something new suddenly appears."
"To date, our understanding of the Fusion Orcs is still very limited. Whether it can truly fully meet our future survival needs and whether it will truly prevent us from facing greater problems and challenges now and in the future are all unknown. We cannot blindly pin our hopes on the unknown and ignore and abandon the proven survival methods we already have."
"Our federation may have many problems. As everyone knows, I have lived in the Xisha area for a long time, so I know very well what life is like for residents living in the garbage area every day. And all of this is caused by the current management shortcomings of the federation."
"But I still think we can give the Federation another chance. After all, it was once our hope, and it led us through a long period of hardship. We can't completely dismiss it just because it has problems. The Federation has a vast system and resources, and we can definitely reform it, correct its shortcomings, and resume its positive role."
"War is not the best way to solve problems. Whether we are rebels or the Federation, we are first and foremost residents of this planet. Our common goal is to make the future of Dust Star more prosperous and harmonious, and to make our lives better."
In order to let everyone see her hand movements clearly, Ye Ning deliberately slowed down the cultivation speed.
"I wonder if anyone has seen our latest beans and cucumbers. They're both incredibly high-yielding and delicious. The research institute gave me the latest data yesterday and predicted that within three years, everyone on Dust Planet will be able to enjoy them to their heart's content."
"My goal has always been simple. I hope everyone can happily and contentedly eat plants, live in a safe environment filled with plants, and return our Dust Planet to its former safety, cleanliness, and freedom from all pollution. No one will have to fight on the battlefield against pollutants, and no one will die because of a lack of plants."
"The peace we have now is hard-won, so here, I sincerely hope that everyone can resolve our current problems in a peaceful way."
"If there needs to be a bridge or opportunity for communication between the rebels and the Federation, I wonder if I would be honored to serve as that bridge."
Ye Ning looked up at the time. She spoke very slowly this time and nearly twenty minutes had passed.
The countdown for the Federation has reached the last minute.
Ye Ning smiled at the camera again, "I asked the Federation to prepare a gift for everyone."
“It was prepared a little hastily, I hope everyone will like it.”
The countdown finally reached 00:00:00.
Several artillery shells were fired into the sky, and in an instant, the black sky was instantly lit up.
But it was not weapons and artillery shells that made people nervous and scared, but a grand fireworks feast.
Dazzling rays of light instantly shot up to the horizon, piercing the night sky. They blossomed and stretched in the air, then burst into a dazzling array of colors. They intertwined and reflected each other, decorating the originally dark sky like a dream.
Everyone in the rebellious zone looked up at the sky.
There were reporters covering the live broadcast, so the beautiful fireworks appeared in front of everyone.
This grand fireworks show lasted for five minutes before it stopped.
The weapons and bombs that had made everyone nervous turned into fireworks.
Everyone stared at the fireworks before their eyes, unable to calm down for a long time. Their hearts were filled with all kinds of emotions, intertwined like fireworks.
At the end of the live broadcast, Ye Ning waved to everyone again and said softly, "Everyone, go to bed early today. I hope everyone can have a good sleep."
