"I...I want to go back, is that okay?"
"You've survived genetic modification, what makes you think you can go back now?"
"So you mean I should just abandon my wife and kids and live on alone?!" Qian Qianran said.
"Brother Li, that's not what I meant. It's just..."
“My children are only one year old, and my wife is in poor health. They definitely won’t be selected. Are you going to make me watch them die at the hands of the Zerg? I’ll die with them!”
Before Mu Chen even reached the slave quarters, he heard these sounds of arguing. Just now, Mu Chen and his group had informed everyone of the Zerg's information under the pretext that space pirates had discovered it.
Including those on the starship who survived the ordeal.
They were unaware of the unrest below, but a disturbance had already broken out on the starship.
Some people are already crying out to go back, even though they know that going back means certain death.
But as this man who was crying his heart out said, he didn't want to live alone in the world. His family was down there. How could he stay here with such a mindset?
Mingmei couldn't help but turn her head away; she really couldn't bear to hear these words.
Mu Chen put his arm around Mingmei's shoulder and led her around to leave. But when they turned around, they saw Hu Yue standing not far away.
The other person's expression wasn't exactly pleasant either.
She didn't know what the reactions and decisions of those below were, but she heard all the wails of those above.
When one person shouted that they wanted to leave, it was like a spark that could start a prairie fire, and one after another, people started shouting the same thing.
She said she wanted to go back and didn't want to stay here any longer.
They were just a small fraction of the hundreds of thousands who had managed to survive, yet they were willing to give up their chance and go back.
However, some people were taking advantage of the situation and threatened to bring their family members up.
A few calm people in the crowd couldn't help but curse "idiots" as they watched this.
“I can understand why Brother Li wants to go back. He risked his life to come up here for his family. Now that I’m telling him that the goal he’s been fighting for will soon be gone, of course he’ll want to go back.”
The girl who had been complaining to them about how she got up there rolled her eyes at the others who were making a fuss about getting down. She chatted with the boy who had been pushed down by Brother Li.
As they watched the man break free from the others' obstruction and stumble out, the girl couldn't help but sigh softly, "If anyone else had Brother Li's determination and really wanted to go back, wouldn't they be sitting here crying and shouting that they wanted to go back and still be able to go back?"
"Didn't the radio say that it's extremely rare for anyone to survive genetic modification?"
The boy disagreed with the girl's words, saying, "Even if they didn't actually go back, it doesn't mean they didn't have genuine feelings... To be realistic, if you're the only one left in your family to survive, your family would be relieved that you survived. If you gave up everything to go back, they would be heartbroken too..."
The man's words made the girl, who was still at an age where she saw things in black and white and had clear likes and dislikes, mutter a curse and turn her head away without saying another word.
She gazed at the sea of clouds outside, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
She was sent here because she was the most useless person in the family...
...
Back at the slave quarters where Mingmei and Muchen left, Mingmei asked him with some concern, "What if they start fighting?"
"They won't make a fuss anymore once they've done it." Mu Chen didn't seem worried about this.
"But aren't some of them making a fuss about going home? Are we really going to let them go back?"
Mingmei was worried about Mu Chen and his team's mission.
“I didn’t say they couldn’t come back. Some of them genuinely want to go back and die with their loved ones, but would their loved ones be willing?”
When Mu Chen's affectionate eyes met those of the bright, clear eyes, he suddenly said, "If it were me, I truly couldn't bear to let you die with me. Even if you were willing."
"Why are you talking about death now?"
Mu Chen's sudden remark reminded Mingmei of the time in the game when Mu Chen secretly revealed himself. She said with a straight face, "Whether I want to live or not is entirely up to me, not you. Your willingness to give up is irrelevant!"
Despite his stern tone, Mu Chen chuckled softly, raised his hand to touch Mingmei's head, his thumb gently stroking her forehead, and whispered a barely audible "I know."
...
"You've got some nerve? Using my pass to fly a fighter jet?! If you want to go up, just say so. Why are you sneaking around like this?!"
At this moment, Ye Qing felt as if all her resources had been lost!
How could she believe that these three idiots had the ability to fly fighter jets?
You, Ji Junyuan, are truly capable of stealing your own father's pass!
Ye Qing glared at Ji Junyuan, whose head was almost touching the ground from the spray coming from outside the iron gate. Then, looking at the cowardly appearance of the other two, it was clear that they all knew who the man outside the gate was.
Ye Qing glanced up and secretly looked at the middle-aged man who was actually quite powerful, and thought to herself, no wonder these three idiots were so confident that they could get their hands on a fighter jet.
They were caught before they even got there.
"If you want to go up, just tell me. You just want to go up, right? Tomorrow, you guys get ready and go line up."
"ah?"
All four were shocked when they heard the last part.
"Dad, are you not letting me go?" Ji Junyuan stared blankly at her father, the character she played in the game, a man who held a very important position in the military. Just two days ago, she had secretly signed up and was scolded severely by him. Why was he suddenly agreeing now?
