Chapter 382 - No Way of Returning (2/2)

The female captain glared. She could not help but tighten her fists… At that time, there were many male and female crew members in the spaceship who had fallen into passionate love. The love in these pairs had crystallized. She really did not want to stop such things from happening.

If humans could not have love, how could they continue?

In hindsight, it seemed that her irrational thinking at that time had prevailed in her brain.

“Erm….”

The handsome man quickly said, “No, no, you are not wrong. From the perspective of the natural continuation of mankind, it is better for human beings to be born from their mothers’ bodies. Moreover, the long flight period of more than 60 years is enough for all human beings to lose their natural fertility. Even the AI brain, Pangu, also thinks that it is truly better for a baby to be born from its mother’s body than from the baby breeding cabin. We should find ways to continue the practice of natural conception and birth… From this perspective, it is worthwhile, even if our burden is increased.”

“Pangu has deduced that if we increase sleep time and reduce the amount of exercise for the purpose of maintaining a basic level of survival, it would not be a problem to keep 200,000 people alive in the spacecraft. It’s just that….. not many people can endure living like this.”

The female captain shook her head slightly. It was easy to enter a life of luxury when one came from a place of frugality, but it was difficult to become frugal after becoming accustomed to luxury.

When it came to “luxury,” she could not help but think of the material benefits that she had enjoyed in her younger years at the palace. Those were the real “luxuries.”

She used to eat the top quality ingredients imported from all over the world; they all were labeled “organic,””green” and “100% natural.” After being cooked by top chefs, the ingredients were so delicious….

Now, every meal consisted of man-made food and compressed energy bars. There was no texture or taste to speak of. She just ate to survive.

“Steak, tuna, foie gras, caviar… How long has it been since I ate these foods? I have almost forgotten their taste. Nowadays, if I was given a naturally grown vegetable, it would undoubtedly be the most extravagant enjoyment.”

Of course, she did not cling to her desire for good food. The things she really could not let go of in her heart were her loved ones, the hometown that had been devastated as far as the eye could see and the nightmarish war.

Even after decades, she still frequently woke with a start from her dreams.

Unconsciously, her eyes filled with moisture.

She thought of the future again, with its unpredictable good and bad fortune; she thought of the coming challenges. The survival of mankind was on her shoulders. Her heart was surrounded by a cloud of gloom. No matter how strong her usual self was, she felt a trace of fear at the moment.

“White Defence.”

She could not help but ask the handsome man next to her, “Was leaving our mother planet and going to the Walf galaxy fourteen light years away the right decision? Was it the wrong decision? I always feel that there will be bad things waiting for us there. I even think that we should not have left our mother planet. No matter where we go, we can’t shake free from being tracked by the mysterious forces. Their attention must still be on us!”

Bai Shengqi felt the uneasiness radiating from the captain.

He was a little surprised. The captain, who had always been steady as a rock and never wavered, was actually showing a confused and doubtful side.

“I do not know.”

He shook his head, “I don’t know much about science. I don’t know how powerful our enemies are. I only know that since I have chosen this path, I must go on with resolution. There is no possibility of turning back. Even if I will be faced with destruction further down this road, I will still fight for humanity to the end.”

Mu Yunhua was stumped for words. Then she smiled and said, “I understand. Thank you; I know what to do now.”

In this moment, her hands did not tremble and there was no fear in her heart. Her gaze was full of determination once again.

No matter the outcome, she must stake everything and continue on this adventurous journey with no way of returning.
