Located at Dragon Gate Space Station No. 5, after several months, we've finally reached this part of the universe that belongs to our own homeland…

The most surprising on this journey was Sara. Initially, Sara mostly learned about the world of humans from twenty years ago through posters, weekly magazines, and other publications. It was a vibrant era of civilization, and she always longed for and dreamed of a colorful life.

With the virus engulfing the world, over ninety-nine percent of those infected had perished, and less than one percent of the fortunate humans managed to survive, casting a heavy shadow over human history.

But this world is different. In this dimension, there are no Cantelu people, and although the infection and transmission of the pandemic are equally severe, the mortality rate is surprisingly not high. This place is filled with hope and vitality. What's different is that there exists a problem humanity must face—Bizarre. Despite the Bizarre's form being utterly different from the physical phenomena known to us, impossible to fathom, there's still a glimmer of hope here, not the bleak exhaustion of their universe.

After all, a lost homeland can be rebuilt, lost food can be re-cultivated for harvest; life is the most precious treasure.

In this world, despite apparent unrest and widespread virus transmission, people still live resolutely. From Blade Warrior's account, she also learned that to prosper and multiply, humans have even started implementing a terrestrial planet migration plan.

A year has passed, and the plan has been fully initiated.

Indeed, humans are a species with incredibly strong adaptability. Within this year, they seem to have already gotten used to the world post-contamination.

As the group passed through the pedestrian passage, their strange clothing drew the gaze of passersby, and a cute little girl nearby pointed at Sara with curiosity.

Sara responded to the girl with a smile; at that moment, a beautiful robot lady politely approached to request a pupil test for Sara.

Sara was taken aback, but as Blade Warrior gave her a meaningful look, Sara instantly understood—the end of this passage was the aforementioned identity verification process.

"Okay."

Following the completion of the full-body scan by the blue light, Sara, along with Feng Yi, Zhang Xiaobo, Sky Shadow, Blade Warrior, and Iman Mengdie, filed into the waiting room...

Dragon Gate Space Station, such a magnificent building... Observing through a 360-degree panoramic deep-space projection, a vast blue halo hovered in the sky, mesmerising to behold. Sara could no longer fathom the sheer scope of the halo, her eyes filled with indescribable shock and joy.

"It's so beautiful, what is that place?"

"Hey, that mirror-like reflective substance is the antimatter propulsion channel; the ring-shaped structure on all four sides is home to all sorts of people. If there's a chance, I'll take you for a tour. Let's make a date."

"Sure, I'd love to go on a date with you, hope you won't stand me up this time, teehee…" Sara laughed sweetly, causing Zhang Xiaobo's heart to race with her radiance.

"You two over there, stop flaunting your sweet relationship, let's find a hotel quickly to get some rest and regroup."

"Eh? Rest and regroup."

Zhang Xiaobo was taken aback. Rest and regroup sounded good. Frankly, ever since they traveled through the universe to this parallel world, not a single day had been peaceful. Although daily necessities were at their fingertips, the weight on their hearts was immense, knowing they could die outside at any time, never to return home. He had an eighty-year-old mother to worry about; and despite having no children, the Huaxia tradition emphasizes filial piety first and foremost. If he were to die accidentally outside, it would be an immense unfilial act.

But today they had finally returned, back under the starry sky filled with memories and familiarity. Zhang Xiaobo felt a surge of energy in him rise by several percentage points. Now that Blade Warrior mentioned rest, he decided to take a breather and enjoy for a day, too lazy to delve into the messy intelligence work.

At present, what Zhang Xiaobo wanted was to have fun; a secret rendezvous with Sara would be considered quite the romantic gesture for a man. He believed that at this moment, he was a winner in life.

Of course, apart from dating, there were many other things he hadn't done yet, like calling his parents to let them know he's safe, or perhaps, finding an internet café to spend some time online.

Zhang Xiaobo had never been keen on surfing the web, even though his hand speed was faster than that of most people. Apart from playing Galactic Warfare, he wasn't much interested in other games.

Interests can be innate or developed over time, and Zhang Xiaobo's interests were the latter. Back in the day during the military training at the Mars base, Feng Yi often had his brothers play Star Wars. Of course, Star Wars was just one aspect; Feng Yi's main goal was to improve everyone's Mecha operation proficiency and reaction to simulated battlefield situations through this virtual combat game.

The military knowledge gained was a windfall. To quote Feng Yi, "What you've eaten, don't throw up," meaning it's better to have more skills than fewer. Embracing this principle, Zhang Xiaobo began to persist in virtual combat day by day.

However, Zhang Xiaobo's main aim was to reduce the amount of physical training. After all, at the military special training base, those who ranked last would endure endless physical training day by day, until one day, when your strength surpasses the one ahead of you, the poor soul who was ahead will repeat the process you experienced today. This was the most challenging part of the Mars special training base.

But now, after numerous operations of Mecha and virtual combat attempts, returning to Dragon Gate Space Station, Zhang Xiaobo especially missed the days of competing with his brothers many years ago. In those days, he and Elvis went from being bullied to becoming the bullies—a bitter experience. Despite the hardships, looking back now is filled with many memorable and sentimental recollections.
