Driving from the outskirts of the capital towards the countryside, they encountered an old acquaintance and exchanged pleasantries. Then, they boarded a private plane bound for Su City, followed by a rugged vehicle that took them to the Outer Space Transfer Station in Spring City just as dawn approached.
Since the beginning of Outer Space exploration two hundred years ago, humanity has demonstrated its superior capabilities as the most intelligent species on Earth in expanding its territories. With remarkable achievements, they have been able to explore planets one after another, continuously planting vibrant national flags belonging to various countries on Earth throughout Outer Space.
The rapid development of space technology has compelled the transportation industry in Outer Space to grow at an equally fast pace. Nowadays, almost every country on Earth possesses at least one or two Outer Space Transfer Stations. Superpowers like Huaguo boast dozens of such stations.
Spring City is undoubtedly one of the most impressive among them.
The rugged vehicle roared through the mountains, kicking up clouds of dust until it finally came to a halt in front of a magnificent building.
Jufeng and his companions got out one after another, each carrying some bags. They shielded their mouths with their hands and squinted against the dust until it settled, revealing the grandeur of the building before them.
"Wow!" Tong Bailong exclaimed, unable to contain his awe at seeing such a vast structure for the first time. He wished he could take in every detail of this colossal edifice made of steel and concrete mixed with Outer Space materials. The others were also seeing such a building for the first time but remained noticeably calmer than Tong Bailong.
It stood nearly a hundred meters tall and seemed endless in width; everyone was puzzled by its enormity.
This was mainly because Tong Bailong had been sound asleep in the vehicle during their journey, missing the chance to glimpse its full glory from afar. Now standing at the foot of the Outer Space Transfer Station, he felt overwhelmed by its magnificence.
Jufeng had always favored Tong Bailong. The big guy's unreserved sincerity often made Jufeng view the world with more tolerance; wherever he was, there was joy. Jufeng clapped a hand on Tong Bailong's shoulder to bring him back to reality, then smiled broadly and led the way into the building. Tong Bailong swallowed hard, adjusted his backpack, and hurriedly followed behind.
Upon entering the transfer station, the contrast between greatness and insignificance became even more pronounced. The entire dome was spaciously decorated; during the day, it was filled with blue skies and white clouds, while at night, one could imagine an ultimate experience of sleeping under starlight.
Workers and moving machinery were everywhere, and at the center stood an imposing oval spacecraft.
Soon, personnel confirmed Jufeng's identity and escorted him to an office area where an old friend of Father Ju awaited him.
"Uncle Sun, I hope I'm not bothering you."
"Ah, what nonsense! At this time, you think of this old man? That makes me very happy! Come in, come in; have a seat."
Jufeng was greeted by a sprightly old man dressed in crisp military attire adorned with general's insignia.
"The matter concerning your father is truly unfortunate, Feng. With old friends no longer in the capital, those thieves took advantage of the situation. However, don't take it too much to heart; the elderly have passed on, and life must go on. We are all leaving soon, and the future world is in your hands. Take this trip to Outer Space to clear your mind. When you return, make sure to give those scoundrels a good beating. If you need us old comrades, just let us know."
When the time comes for the old man to face those scoundrels, the wrinkles on his face will reveal a fierce determination. Mentioning Father Ju's situation darkened Jufeng's expression for a fleeting moment, but he quickly masked it with trivial conversation before preparing to depart at noon.
Jufeng had arrived at a remote corner of the Outer Space Transfer Station. This time, he intended to keep his trip to Outer Space under wraps, so he didn't use official channels. The journey had been through endless yellow sand, devoid of any paved roads.
This trip involved hiding aboard a military spacecraft transporting prisoners and then making a detour to another planet before reaching their destination.
The wait felt longer than usual, but as he watched Tong Bailong and Politeness playfully banter, time passed quickly until midday. A staff member came to notify Jufeng and his group that it was time to set off, and they prepared for their grand journey into Outer Space.
Inside the spacecraft, everything outside was temporarily obscured; even the loud noise of takeoff was muffled by the high-tech metal shell.
The Outer Space vehicle was large and luxuriously decorated, with rooms comparable to those in a five-star hotel. Jufeng and his companions were assigned three rooms: Flower Snow Moon had one to herself while the others split into two groups.
Tong Bailong, who was experiencing a spacecraft for the first time, couldn't help but look around excitedly and touch everything. Civilization observed him discreetly. Noticing that Tong Bailong was ignoring him, Politeness lost interest and returned to his room for a nap. Situ Yu had already closed his eyes in rest but frowned slightly when Politeness disturbed him. Flower Snow Moon had been tense these days and was now persuaded by Jufeng to take some rest.
Jufeng watched Tong Bailong bounce around with amusement while Civilization feigned seriousness; for some reason, he felt an overwhelming sense of joy and openness.
He thought that regardless of whether this departure was a hasty escape or a chance to recuperate, when he returned next time, it would be time for blood debts to be repaid against the Unification Alliance. They would learn that once Jufeng unleashed his madness, it would be like a thunderstorm—unbearable.
Standing in one corner of the room, Jufeng noticed Civilization suddenly freeze in surprise before involuntarily looking at him. At that moment, he felt an intense madness emanating from Jufeng —a chilling kind of madness!
In Spring City, at the Outer Space Transfer Station, a spacecraft roared into the sky with a thunderous sound. It took off smoothly as if it had done so countless times before—no explosions or deviations; everything was normal.
…
In Washing City, at a stylish Western restaurant, a girl chewed delicately on beautifully presented food while her mind lingered on someone.
Three days had passed since those five people unexpectedly barged into her home and threatened her before leaving without asking for anything in return. During these three days, Zhang Li had been anxious and fearful that they might visit again on a night filled with snowstorms. Yet every time she thought of the man who left her a note—the way he turned away with a hint of loneliness, weariness, and exhaustion—her fear gradually transformed into anticipation. Each time she recalled this moment, her pure-looking face flushed with embarrassment.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling feverish? Your face is all red."
The man sitting across the table asked with gentle concern. Upon hearing this, Zhang Li's face turned even redder, resembling a ripe red apple.
"No, no, I'm fine! It's just a bit spicy; I'll be okay in a moment. Here, eat more!"
Zhang Li quickly forked a piece of steak from her plate and delicately brought it to his lips.
The man opened his mouth gladly and revealed a warm smile. Zhang Li sighed helplessly in her heart, reminding herself that with a boyfriend like this, she should be content and not waver in her affections! When she got home tonight, she would toss that person's phone number into the trash.
Who hasn't had a few side stories in their life? But those are ultimately not the main theme of living.
(To be continued)
