Heroes of the Galaxy - Ge Xiaolun

Chapter 319: Yaowen Returns Home

Earth, the Northern Star.

Military Academy.

Independent of the Super Seminary, there is a place dedicated to training talents for interstellar wars.

The power of the galaxy has spoken, and the Super Seminary will not have an important dominant position on Earth.

Now most of the mentors here are led by some angels, but the main affairs are handled by Dukao.

Compared with previous affairs, current affairs are no different from vacation for Dukao. After finishing another class, Dukao returned to his office with his thermos cup.

After being busy for more than ten thousand years, I suddenly have some free time and feel a little uncomfortable.

"Oh~ I'm old, really old." Dukao took a sip of the source of life. The bitter taste lingered in his mouth, and after smacking his lips, it gradually became sweet.

Dukao sat at his desk, looking at the white hair on his head reflected in the glass.

After retirement, he had a lot of white hair, probably because of the sequelae of headaches he had suffered before.

Neither Lianfeng nor Yuqin could completely cure it, but this minor injury was nothing to him.

Dukao took out the materials and began to prepare the lesson plan for the next class. War has never been something that can be explained clearly through written and oral education. The battlefield is the real classroom of war.

However, he is now enjoying this kind of life. He doesn't have to worry about the survival of the earth. The power of the galaxy has grown, and he has not let down Principal Kiran's advice.

If you focus on doing one thing, time will slip away inadvertently.

"General!"

Lianfeng's voice suddenly sounded, stopping Dukao's work.

Dukao raised his head and saw a space door opened in the room at some point. Lianfeng appeared in front of him with Cheng Yaowen, who had taken off his armor.

"Lianfeng, Yaowen." Dukao greeted them with a smile, then stood up and asked them to sit down.

Lianfeng didn't dare to let Dukao greet her. Cheng Yaowen didn't react because he was still worried about the remnants of Denor.

"General, you take a rest, I'll do it." Lianfeng took the water cup from Dukao's hand and said.

Dukao laughed, "Alright, alright, no need to call me General. I'm just a retired old man. It's rare that you have time to come and sit with me."

"Sit down for a while, just take a break. Earth has just started in the past two years, and you all have heavy tasks to do. Come to me and relax."

While chatting and laughing, Dukao poured a glass of water for the two of them.

Lianfeng looked at the gray-haired Dukao with a complicated expression.

"General, your hair..."

"Isn't it normal for people to have some gray hair as they get older?" Dukao said with a smile. "You came just in time. Before you leave, please tell Qiangwei that when you have nothing to do, don't always work yourself up. If you have time, come back and visit more often."

Lianfeng knew that Dukao was thinking about having children. "It seems that you have adapted to this kind of life."

Dukao smiled and nodded. "As for me... all I knew before was war, war, and more war!"

"Now that I have some free time and think about it, I realize how tiring fighting can be."

Lianfeng fell silent after hearing this. Looking at the increasingly obvious wrinkles on Dukao's face, he sighed.

"You blocked your own genes, so why bother?"

Dukao waved his hand. "I won't struggle any more. I can't. The future still belongs to you young people. For someone like me, it's a great blessing to have such a destination in the end."

"General, I'm not young anymore." Lianfeng said.

"You are younger than me after all. Lead the team well and help me take care of Qiangwei." Dukao said.

Lianfeng nodded, then turned to look at Cheng Yaowen who was still in a daze, and then remembered that he came here for an important matter.

"General, we are here mainly for Yaowen."

Then he told Dukao what had happened.

Dukao was not surprised at all when he heard that the remnants of Denor suddenly appeared, as if he knew about it.

After listening to Lian Feng's words, he sighed, then turned his gaze to Cheng Yaowen, and then he slowly asked:

"Yao Wen, you still haven't decided?"

Dukao's tone was like that of a dignified yet kind old man. Cheng Yaowen shook his head:

"I know I shouldn't think that way, but I can't help but let myself think that way."

"I don't know what I should choose!"

Cheng Yaowen looked distressed and said with pain on his face.

"There must be someone behind this incident. They took advantage of my psychology. I know this, but they succeeded and I can't stop them."

After hearing this, Dukao patted Cheng Yaowen on the shoulder and then asked very seriously:

"So do you think that what happened with Denor was Reina's fault?"

Cheng Yaowen shook his head slowly.

"Is it the fault of the No Star God of War?"

Cheng Yaowen still shook his head.

"So, it's your fault?"

Cheng Yaowen was unsure, and his shaking of his head began to stall.

Dukao smiled upon seeing this. "You are used to blaming yourself for the problems. You hate your own cowardice back then, and you are afraid to face the people and events of the past."

"But Yaowen, you can't always take the right steps in life. Don't look back, and don't criticize yourself at that time."

"The responsibility for what happened in Denor lies with me. I am the culprit who caused the destruction of Denor."

"The sins of us, the older generation, should not be borne by you."

"The remnants of the Denor have reappeared in the universe. Don't worry about this matter. Someone will take care of it."

"Relax for now and go visit your parents."

After Dukao finished speaking, he nodded at Lianfeng.

Lian Feng immediately understood, "Your parents even asked someone if you could go home for the New Year."

"Parents..." Cheng Yaowen murmured. His current parents are a pair of farmers. Although he is not their son, they really raise him as their own son.

Cheng Yaowen took a deep breath, trying not to let himself fall into the whirlpool of emotions. He raised his head and nodded to Dukao.

"But General, I still hope that I can personally give the final decision on this matter!"

Dukao was a little surprised when he heard this. "You haven't made a decision yet?"

Cheng Yaowen nodded. "Sometimes, taking one step at a time is also a decision. I will go home to see my parents, and then come back to investigate and resolve this matter myself!"

Dukao and Lianfeng looked at each other, nodded, and said nothing more.

After seeing Cheng Yaowen off, only Dukao and Cheng Yaowen were left in the office.

"Lianfeng, help me find the resettlement information for the former Denor survivors."

"General, do you want to investigate this matter yourself?" Lianfeng asked.

Dukao nodded. "This is my sin. Yaowen and the child shouldn't bear it."

After hearing this, Lian Feng advised: "I can investigate this matter..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Dukao.

"You have to remember that you have responsibilities on your shoulders now. You cannot be distracted or leave the Earth."

"It's enough for Jace to go with me on this matter."

Lian Feng was still worried after hearing this. "General, the person who instigated the Denor survivors must have a complicated background. Please wait patiently. I will go collect some information first."

"I'll also ask the angels to gather some information from the universe. At least it won't be too late to investigate once we have a general direction!"

Dukao nodded after hearing this and said, "You are right, but I also want to make sure the current situation of those former Denor survivors is taken care of."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen with Jace following me."

"You just retired, there's absolutely no need to do this." Lian Feng said worriedly, "If all else fails, we can contact Xiao Lun. Although he's not on Earth right now, he'll definitely be able to investigate this matter much more easily than we can."

"And even if the person behind this is a god-level civilization, Xiaolun has a way to deal with it!"

Dukao shook his head slowly after hearing this. "Xiaolun hasn't been back for more than two and a half years."

"I contacted that old guy Ryze not long ago. He had met Xiaolun once before. Xiaolun is currently dealing with the Grim Reaper Carl."

"Don't cause him any more trouble for now. I'll investigate this matter myself. If the person behind this is beyond our expectations, then Great Wall No. 1 is enough to destroy him!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her anymore, Lianfeng stopped trying to persuade her, and occasionally glanced at the fire extinguisher installed in the room.

The current danger level of this matter is not high, otherwise, with Dukao's unwillingness to listen to advice, Lianfeng really wants to give him another beating so that he can calm down.

……

Cheng Yaowen, who had left the academy, stood on the city street with his luggage.

From the dangerous and mysterious space to the bustling town, Cheng Yaowen couldn't help but feel dazed. Time passed so quickly. He and his comrades hadn't relaxed for a long time. Even returning to Earth was a luxury.

There is no special pick-up or high-tech space wormhole transmission.

Cheng Yaowen took a bus at the bus stop and headed straight to the subway station.

The development of science and technology has been fully demonstrated at this moment. Buses are no longer vehicles that only run on land. They are now a combination of vehicles that use suspension technology. Each seat can be separated into an independent car that can run on land or fly in the air.

However, because these new technologies have not been in use for a long time, the government has not yet planned appropriate rules and regulations in a short period of time. It has only drafted a temporary plan for planning. Therefore, no matter how high the technological content is, it can only follow the prescribed route.

There were few people on the bus, not even a driver. Each seat had a projection screen and a display screen, allowing users to watch shows, play games, and even order food. Cheng Yaowen felt somewhat disconnected from society. This was truly a cyber city!

Cheng Yaowen turned his head and looked at the scenery outside. The tall buildings in the city had not changed, but the surrounding streets had changed a lot. The number of vehicles had decreased, and they had gradually turned into a kind of foot-operated disc-shaped floating aircraft. Almost everyone had one under their feet. The flying height was not high, about one and a half meters, and the speed was neither fast nor slow. If someone felt uncomfortable standing, they could sit on the aircraft.

Mobile phones seem to have been eliminated. Few people use them anymore. They all use projectors.

"Isn't this development a bit too fast?" Cheng Yaowen muttered.

The new bus was very fast and took him to his destination quickly.

Cheng Yaowen was stunned as soon as he got off the train. Is this a subway station?

Unsure, he opened the evil map and searched, and wow, it really was.

But, the subway station...where is the subway?

Before he could react, a mechanical female voice sounded.

[Dear passenger, please step forward for facial scanning.]

Cheng Yaowen took a step forward in a daze. He didn't see any light, and the next second the sound rang out again.

[Scan completed. Dear Mr. Cheng Yaowen, the door has been opened for you. Please follow the instructions and enter. An intelligent human will guide you from behind.]

Cheng Yaowen: “?”

As the mechanical sound fell, a wormhole door opened in front of Cheng Yaowen.

Cheng Yaowen thought that someone in the team was looking for him, but the mechanical voice sounded again and he was completely confused.

[The wormhole door is open for 2 minutes. Please enter promptly. If you have too many packages, you can request to extend the wormhole door's time by voice.]

Cheng Yaowen tilted his head, "???"

What the hell? After two years in space, he can't even recognize this as Earth!

Wormhole subway?

Cheng Yaowen walked in doubtfully. As the scene changed, he was already inside the subway station. There were many people around him, waiting like him.

From time to time, intelligent voices can be heard around.

[Dear passengers, please confirm your destination before boarding. You can enter your destination by voice or click on the bus stop sign to confirm!]

[Please observe proper order when boarding the bus. Passengers using aircraft should retract their aircraft to avoid safety issues!]

Then a virtual projection signboard unfolded in front of everyone. Some people said their destination, and some people clicked on the place name above. Cheng Yaowen felt like a newly evolved savage, and could only follow suit and say his destination.

Then a virtual ticket was immediately formed, and after scanning the face again, the virtual ticket disappeared.

On the rails in front of the transparent barrier of the subway, a large wormhole slowly opened and a train slowly drove out of the wormhole.

Cheng Yaowen opened his mouth, and finally got on the bus with the crowd when the door opened. There was no need to fight for a seat because everyone was standing. He knew that this thing was very fast and would pass by in a flash, so he didn't feel anything at all.

Cheng Yaowen got on and off the car under the dull gaze.

But this is the development in the city. It is much better away from the city and is still relatively original.

But Cheng Yaowen felt that it seemed a bit too primitive. Why didn't he remember that the environment around the city was so good before?

But I didn't think too much about it.

After many twists and turns, I finally returned home, a village in the northern countryside.

It was summer at that time, with green trees, chirping cicadas and birdsong, and the wind, carrying the natural scent of the trees, gently blew on my face, refreshing my heart.

Cheng Yaowen walked a little fast, but he did not forget to take in the surrounding scenery.

When you push open the familiar door that feels a little strange.

It was still a cement floor, and in the yard a dark-skinned old man was washing freshly picked vegetables with a pipe.

“shuo?” (Who?) The old man seemed to have blurry eyes. It might also be because he was squatting on the ground at noon, and when he looked up, the sun was a little dazzling.

When I saw clearly the appearance of the man standing at the door.

"Damn it, oh! Awen is back!" the old man shouted.

Then you can hear the sound of pots and pans.

Then a frail old woman opened the door and ran out.

"It's Awen! My son is back!"
