Lu Shifeng stopped and looked at him.
The reporters' chattering mouths suddenly fell silent unconsciously. It was not for any other reason but that Lu Shifeng's aura was too strong, making people dare not move casually. When being stared at by those blood-red eyes, there was a sense of oppression, and the pressure was extremely strong.
The reporter's words were stuck in his throat, and he said awkwardly, "That..."
Lu Shifeng withdrew his gaze, sneered, and left.
Beyond this point, the military's territory lies within. It's solemn and quiet, devoid of reporters. The new adjutant, a short, blond dragon, whispers, "Do you need someone to police the area outside?"
So as to avoid being surrounded again the next time Lu Shifeng comes.
Lu Shifeng: "No need."
Pause
Lu Shifeng continued, "Contact Secretary Jin and ask her to send some people to follow Jian Luo and protect his safety."
Adjutant: “Yes.”
Jian Luo, who was considered to be very dangerous and fragile, had finished his breakfast in the morning. He returned to Anleyuan to arrange his physical examination today. He arrived early, but he didn't expect that many people were waiting for him at the village entrance.
From a distance, it looked like a huge mass of people.
Jian Luo paused, walked over, and scanned the group of people before speaking, "What's wrong?"
The villagers looked at each other and finally spoke:
"Luoluo, are you okay?"
"We've all heard about it."
“Luoluo…”
Before, most of the villagers in Anleyuan did not truly regard Jian Luo as a leader. They believed that Jian Luo was not worthy of the important task, had no ability, and had no way to lead them out of the village, because Jian Luo was just a young man in his early 20s.
But it was such a child who brought liberation to mankind. He dared to say no to the Dark Star people, he saved the little girl, and he dared to stand up and question the marriage law on behalf of everyone. He was responsible and proactive. He was many times better than the thousands of people who once lived in An Paradise but did nothing all day long.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jian Luo said, "I'm fine."
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Jian Luo stood there, frank and natural. He didn't deliberately seek credit or play the victim. He just said: "It's just my job. Thank you for your concern."
He didn't expect that he could win the hearts of the people through such an incident.
But he had other things to do right now, so he found Director Wang and asked, "Have you finished the statistics I asked you to help me with?"
Director Wang seemed to have just realized something and immediately said, "Yes, yes, that's what I was going to tell you!"
Not long ago, Jian Luo suddenly told Director Wang to pay attention to the list of humans who wanted to migrate to the Sky City, as well as the list of those who wanted to stay. Going to the Sky City is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Dark Star is supporting employment, and many shopping malls or companies have opened up admission quotas. In this way, the planting center is bound to lose some people, so statistics must be done well.
Director Wang gave him the list. Jian Luo was mentally prepared, but he found that except for those who wanted to go to school, almost no one applied.
Jian Luo: "What's going on?"
"We've already discussed this." Director Wang glanced back at everyone and said, "Luoluo, didn't you say you wanted to open a food factory? We're in need of people right now, so why can't we just leave?"
During a meeting not long ago, Jian Luo said that he wanted to set up a food processing factory. The plan for the factory had been in place for a long time. He had already planned the site and hoped that those who were interested could volunteer to sign up. There would also be a branch factory built on Earth, and skilled workers would have the opportunity to transfer there.
Earth
Just two short words, as heavy as a rock.
All those who are away from home want to return home, without exception.
But now someone has handed them the opportunity and told them that they can go back and build their own homes, they have the opportunity to return to their home planet, they can create wealth with their own hands, and they - no longer have to rely on others.
Director Wang smiled and said, "Quite a few people were still hesitant before, but the list was finalized early this morning."
They couldn't pin their lives on a 20-year-old young man, but the commitment and responsibility shown by Jian Luo gave them hope.
How many chances can we have to fight in our life?
They remember that they were once a very united and vigorous nation. Success is the best, but failure is also acceptable, which is better than never being able to stand up again in your lifetime.
The Dark Star people look down on humans, but humans can’t look down on themselves.
…
After finalizing the list, Jian Luo began to divide the work. After a few days of hectic schedule, he finally learned how to be efficient and clearly divide the work:
"Director Wang will take you and a few key personnel to the factory later. The first group will be those with experience."
"I have approved a sum of money to build a Hope Primary School. Please submit the available land in the village to me before tonight."
"The factory has printed out the labor contract and arranged for someone to come over to sign it this afternoon. The list has been prepared."
"Planning for the physical examination at the Research Institute will start with the young and middle-aged people. Jian Sheng will come to pick them up. I'll be free in two hours..."
He was spinning in circles all day long, and when it was almost evening, he came back from the research institute and was finally able to go about his last itinerary.
"Dongdong"
Jian Luo knocked on the door of the old locust tree.
A somewhat old voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Jian Luo came in carrying a pot of fruit wine and two side dishes. Seeing the old Chinese doctor sleeping under the tree, he came over and said, "Come to see you?"
The old Chinese doctor opened his eyes and said, "Oh, you brought some wine."
Jian Luo handed it to him: "Fruit wine from the elves, it can prolong life."
“Tsk.”
The old Chinese doctor had no other hobbies except drinking. He took a sip and sighed, "I still can't get used to this alien stuff."
Jian Luo sat down beside him, leaning against the tree. "Next spring, I'll find a few peach trees on Earth and brew some peach wine."
Earth
The old Chinese doctor's eyes flickered. He put down the Elf Fruit Wine and said, "Is that place still habitable?"
Jian Luo said, "I found a purification mine. Not long ago, there was news that the pups born by the mutant animals in the mountain where the mine was buried have returned to normal."
The old Chinese doctor didn't say anything, but from his expression and breathing, it was clear that he was very excited. Even his hands were shaking. He asked, "When are we going back?"
"Um?"
The old Chinese doctor sat on a chair, the afterglow of the setting sun falling on him. His voice was old and hoarse: "Old bones, old age, the last of my bones will turn into sand and fall to the land of the earth."
Jian Luo said, "You are fine."
The old Chinese doctor laughed cheerfully: "Of course, I still want to drink peach blossom wine."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and finally got to the point. Jian Luo didn't want to beat around the bush, so he said directly, "I came here to ask a favor."
"explain."
"I'd like you to return to Earth and do research and development."
The old Chinese doctor was not surprised at all: "Herbs from the earth."
Jian Luo nodded. "Last time I picked some and compared them with you, and I found some pharmacological properties. Jian Sheng told me today that the Earth's qualifications have been checked and it is a fertile planet. All creatures born on this planet are endowed with the same ability. But I think that it is not just the human race. The Chinese herbal medicines born on Earth must also have efficacy."
There was one more thing that Jian Luo didn't say.
One of the reports from the physical examination showed that there is a substance called neomycin that plays a vital role in conception in the human body. The origin of this substance is still unknown, but neomycin can be perfectly integrated with the effective genes of Dark Star, which in layman's terms is the conception rate.
According to the physical examination, the level of neomycin in Jian Luo's body was as high as 100%.
Among humans other than him, the highest percentage is only 10%, which is considered a lot. The normal value is only around 5%. This is why there were intermarriages in previous years but no one could get pregnant. And this neomycin is the most important existence.
Jian Luo said, "There's something I want to confess to you. This body of mine has been grown up eating vegetables."
The old Chinese doctor looked up at him.
"So I hope you can travel to Earth, bring Jian Sheng, and other research teams with you to tackle the problem of producing neomycin in Earth's plants." Jian Luo paused, then added, "It's just a request."
The old Chinese doctor slowly lay down on the chair and asked: "Aren't you afraid that the Dark Star people will cure your illness and then abandon you?"
He did not reject Jian Luo's proposal, nor did he say that he could not do it. Instead, he asked the core point of the question. After all, if the Earth was really useful, would the Dark Star be given to mankind?
By then, the mother planet will be occupied again, humans will no longer be of any use, and the only thing waiting for them is destruction.
Jian Luo smiled. "But you've forgotten that thousands of years ago, without the Dark Star, humanity would have long since become extinct. History books say that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. The Chinese ancestors taught us to be grateful and repay kindness. Besides, I believe that a planet that can lend a helping hand to weaker races in times of crisis is worth a gamble."
There was silence in the yard.
The old Chinese doctor sat on a rattan chair, half-closed his eyes as if thinking. A smile slowly appeared on his old face. He said sullenly, "I can't believe that at my age, I'm actually being taught by a young man."
Jian Luo was very humble: "No, no, sir, you have thought it through. I still have a lot to learn."
The old man took a sip of the elf fruit wine beside him. He looked at the sunset and sighed, "The sunset on Earth must be more beautiful."
Jian Luo also looked towards the light.
Every galaxy has a shining sun. Some are big, some are small, but their internal structure and texture are the same. Logically speaking, they are all the same, but those who are away from home and cannot return will feel that only the sun in their hometown is the biggest, roundest, and brightest.
Human beings have been away from home for so long that many people have forgotten what their sun looks like when it rises.
quite a while
The old Chinese doctor withdrew his gaze and said, "I am old and it is time to go back."
Jian Luo felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart, and he whispered, "You mean..."
"Go home." A kind smile appeared on the old Chinese doctor's face. "Arrange a place for me to stay and a team. I'll go back and see the sun."
The author has something to say: Neomycin was created by me, and I apologize if it offends you.
