Chapter 253: see and hear

Interstellar travel was now so commonplace, and Hope Star was a must for every Therian in the late stages of Genetic Collapse Disorder, so there were flights to Hope Star from every inhabited planet. Hope Star flights were scheduled three times a day, divided into morning, noon and night.

The ship sailed through the universe for nearly eight hours. Bai Li woke up from Wen XingYao’s shoulder, took out a pen and paper and started to write and draw on it for a while. The announcement came over the radio that in half an hour the ship would land on Hope Star and asked the passengers to get ready to debark.

During these eight hours, Bai Li spent some time idly observing the passengers on the same flight with them, and felt some emotions inside. They were mostly family units, with one person in each small group holding a small “cub” in their arms. The so-called cubs were likely to be the original head of the family, the pillar of the family, or the youngest generation just growing up.

Bai Li also saw a gray-haired grandfather, holding a snow-white cat in his arms. He cowered in the corner, very lonely. The pathos emanating from him could be felt by those nearby.

His fellow travelers followed Bai Li’s gaze. Fox One and Fox Two actually happened to know the old grandfather and explained to Bai Li in soft voices.

“His name is Bai Changsheng. He is also a resident of our villa area. Fox Two and I met him several times when we were out and about. I heard from the neighbors around that their family is quite miserable. He is just an ordinary person, and did not awaken the Therian gene, but he married a Therian. After the marriage they soon had two children, who also awakened the Therian gene. However the good times didn’t last long. His wife’s first Genetic Collapse Disorder outbreak came when the two children weren’t yet adults, and when she went into the late stage, she was sent to Hope Star, ” Fox One said.

Fox Two picked up where his brother left off and continued, “He was the one who sent people there with the two children and then traveled to Hope Star several times a year to see her. It was not easy to wait for the children to grow up and have their own families and children, but Genetic Collapse Disorder also broke out like a shadow among them. First his two children, and then his grandchildren…I heard from a neighbor that the only one left with him now is his youngest granddaughter, but she also has Genetic Collapse Disorder and I don’t know how much longer she will last…”

As it turned out, the youngest granddaughter didn’t last long and followed the path of her predecessor. In this way, as an ordinary person, the old man sent away one family member after another, and he probably knew better than the layout of the rooms in his own house, which direction the door to Hope Star went.

The old man’s hand gently stroked the cat’s back, with a caress to comb the soft fur. The little granddaughter-turned-cat was enjoying her grandfather’s touch, and made a showy purring sound as she squinted her eyes in comfort. It was obvious that she had forgotten who the old man in front of her was, and her body was only instinctively enjoying herself. She seemed to have noticed Bai Li’s gaze. The old man looked up and recognized Fox One and Fox Two, so he nodded slightly towards them and quickly moved his gaze elsewhere.

The whole time his eyes did not have a single fluctuation, all that remained was the dead silence of all thoughts.

Bai Li saw it in his eyes. His heart didn’t feel good. He only felt that the world he lived in shouldn’t continue to develop in this way. They already had a direction for the treatment of Genetic Collapse Disorder and should experiment with it as soon as possible. Even if it was a day earlier than they expected, it would still be an improvement.

Bai Li quickly regained his composure, gathered his thoughts, and reviewed his arrangements for after he arrived at Hope Star.

Zhu MoLing actually noticed his brother’s abnormality, but he was not sitting as close as Wen XingYao, so his reaction was not as quick as Wen XingYao’s. Therefore he could only watch as that dreadful guy patiently “smoothed out” his brother’s hair, and easily restored him to his normal appearance.

His heart was actually a little satisfied, but he did not say that. He couldn’t let Wen XingYao feel proud of anything. Still, he also had the good sense to speak up to divert his brother’s attention, “In fact, it’s much better now than it was a few months ago. A few months ago, the ship to Hope Star was usually full. About a month or two ago, the situation significantly improved. What is the reason? I think you know my brother best, right?”

The meaning of his words couldn’t be more obvious. Once Zhu MoLing finished, Bai Li would understand in seconds. The words of his brother were just enough that he was startled out of his obsessive thoughts. He had been focused on how to stop Therians from suffering from Genetic Collapse Disorder and moving inexorably toward the later stage, but had forgotten that the things he was struggling with had actually already started to change unnoticed.

The holographic farming game Carefree Farmstead came out of nowhere, and the Interstellar people showed a never-before-seen enthusiasm for that game. After that, the easy and relaxed farm life, rich taste of various culinary delicacies, interesting and comfortable game play, green mountains, blue water, blue sea, blue sky…they were all that the existence of the reality was not.

…There was no such thing, it was all discarded on the planets where Interstellar people lived.

However it was a world where the Interstellar people felt the vitality of the individuals who had started to live again, and the previous decades seemed to be all for nothing.

Although no detailed report had been issued, Bai Li could clearly feel that the percentage of Therians suffering from Genetic Collapse Disorder in the later stages and regressed to early childhood was steadily decreasing.

“I see.” Bai Li showed a relaxed smile, looked at the others, and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I was just a little bit down, but now I’m fine.”

After that, he changed the subject and got up and ran to the observation deck not far away to watch the ship landing on Hope Star. Bai Li sort of remembered what Hope Star looked like, but digging after it out from the corners of memory to review, it was far less shocking than what he saw with his own eyes.

There was a large area of green, with a light blue color appearing in the distance, the color of the sea. Almost all of the land was covered with grass, and the land undulated like waves on the planet, with very little treacherous terrain to be seen.

As a planet that needed to accommodate all the Therians in the Empire who have regressed into infancy, Hope Star was undoubtedly huge. Bai Li had read from the purchase information of the planet sent to him by Zhu MoLing, that the planet was five times the size of the Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs Star. He had only one thought in his head at that time, this planet was a great buy, he had made a fortune! Such a big planet, it would take him a long time to plant it all, Hehehe~

When he saw Hope Star, Bai Li could guess what the other agricultural planets were like, and felt a little anger that the people of the Empire were wasting their money. They were so close to the right answer, and yet so far away.

There was only one boarding platform on Hope Star, located in the warm south. When they got off the ship, they first had to register the purpose of their trip. Among them, Bai Li and his group were the most special. He had come to inspect the “fixed assets” in his name.

There were Heavenly Fox Clan members stationed on Hope Star, and when they saw the special registration application, they guessed that it might be the Patriarch Zhu MoLing, and someone rushed over. However, when he arrived, he was distracted by the person beside the Patriarch.

“Little, little young master?” The visitor wiped his eyes incredulously, almost rubbing them red, before he believed that it wasn’t a hallucination.

The young master they had been looking for for three years was standing right next to their Patriarch. The young master seemed to have grown a little taller and his face looked a little rounder than before, so it was a relief to see that he was in good shape.

Wait! How was the young master in human…human form? If his memory was correct, when the young master secretly left Hope Star three years ago, it seemed that he had already reverted to his infancy. So what’s going on now? How did the young master revert back to his human form from infancy? Was it a miracle that only occurred in the young master, or was it a cure that all Interstellar people could have?

When he thought about this, the Heavenly Fox Clan member’s heart couldn’t help but be stirred. There were many Heavenly Fox Clan people living on the planet, including the parents and relatives of the Patriarch and the young master, as well as his own relatives and friends…If they could all return to human form, what kind of a reunion scene would there be?

Although his mind was full of thoughts, his face didn’t really show too much. He just looked excited, which could be taken as a sign of emotion from seeing his own Patriarch.

Bai Li smiled slightly towards the other person and gave a small greeting with his right hand. He still remembered that when he was sent here. It was this clan member who received him. Hopefully, the other had forgotten about it.

“Find a quieter place, then let’s sit down and talk first,” Zhu MoLing greeted his clansman.

“Okay. I’ll go arrange it, Patriarch, young master and all the guests. You can just come with me!” the steward busily responded, and led the group towards the office building the Heavenly Fox Clan had built there.
