Could it be that… the news of an interstellar migration had already spread to the ears of the higher-ups?
Zhou Wei’an’s eyes lit up, and he became excited.
This was the opportunity he wanted. As long as he was remembered by the Head, his future would definitely be much easier than now!
At this moment, the Head smiled and said, “I just received a notice from the Supers Bureau and found out about your family’s situation. The reason I called you this time is mainly to congratulate you on having a Super in your family. He’s even willing to contribute and take the initiative to participate in interstellar immigration. His awareness is very high. Little Zhou, you’ve taught him well.”
Zhou Wei’an wanted to take the chance to butter up his Head, but when he heard these words, he could not help but be stunned.
“Super? Where did this Super come from?”
“Huh? You’re not aware?”
This time, it was the Head’s turn to be stunned.
“Um… is there a mistake? My family does have an interstellar immigrant, but there are no Supers…” Zhou Wei’an stated carefully.
The Head let out a noise of confusion, his tone a little strange.
“Do you have a child called Zhou Jing? He awakened as a Super more than a month ago and took the initiative to register as an interstellar immigrant. Just now, the Supers Bureau called me and asked me to take care of the families of the Supers… Don’t tell me you don’t know about this?”
The families of the Supers would receive additional care. This was a treatment that everyone received. Even if it was not mentioned, the Supers Bureau would take the initiative to handle it.
The Head was a little speechless. It was understandable that he as a Chief just found out, but as a father, he knew nothing about it… What kind of father was this?
Realizing that the situation seemed to be different from what he had expected, the Head coughed lightly and quickly ended the conversation before hanging up.
However, Zhou Wei’an was no longer in the mood to care about the Head. His expression froze in total stupefaction.
His head was buzzing with the news.
The third Brother, Zhou Jing… had become a Super?!
He actually had no idea!
The few people present also heard their conversation. Their eyes widened in shock.
“Thirdie actually awakened and became a Super?!”
Second Brother cried out in disbelief.
“How can this be…” Big Brother muttered to himself, his mind blank.
This news was like a thunderclap, scaring the entire family.
Unexpectedly, more than a month ago, Zhou Jing had quietly become a Super, but he did not tell them, causing them to still be in the dark.
While everyone was shocked, they suddenly thought of something.
Initially, they thought that Zhou Jing would have no choice but to leave if he accepted the forced immigration… However, after becoming a Super, he seemed to be able to refuse the forced immigration. That way, no one in the family would have to leave.
However, not only did Zhou Jing not do so, but he even took the initiative to declare himself as an immigrant… Did he not want to stay here at all?
For a moment, everyone’s expressions changed, and an indescribable emotion surged in their hearts. They felt lost and guilty.
Zhou Wei’an’s entire body trembled. He was angry and anxious, and regret surged like a tide.
It was not easy for a Super to appear in his family, but that person actually left this planet!
Although the families of the immigrants also received additional benefits, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he had suffered a huge loss.
If Zhou Jing had not left and stayed in this planet, the impact he would have on his family after becoming a Super would be even greater. As a family member, the future benefits he could enjoy would definitely be dozens or hundreds of times better than the so-called additional benefits now!
This was him picking up a sesame seed but losing a watermelon in return!
Zhou Wei’an’s face twitched as he roared in dissatisfaction in his heart.
If he had known that Zhou Jing would awaken, how could he have let him take the forced immigration quota?!
Supers were the most useful to his family. No matter what, he had to let either the eldest or second son take over the quota of forced immigration!
No… No! There were Supers in his family, so no one would be forced to migrate! If they had not ended things on such a bad note then, how could Zhou Jing have chosen to migrate?!
“Quick! Call him!”
Zhou Wei’an was extremely anxious. He did not know if it was too late, but he was unwilling to let go just like that. He was already incoherent.
However, Zhao Jing hurriedly dialed Zhou Jing’s number, but what replied was a tone signaling that there was no connection.
Everyone froze and subconsciously turned to look at the television.
On the screen, the immigrant fleet had already taken off and was slowly rising into the air, flying further and further away.
Zhou Wei’an collapsed into a chair with a plop. He seemed to have lost all his energy, looking like he had his soul drawn out of him.
The entire family looked at the busy phone in silence with mixed feelings.
They knew very well that as the spaceship took off, they would never be able to get through to this number in their contact list again.
A number was the link between people, and the person represented by this number… had disappeared from their lives.
The morning sun of West Sea City shone in through the window. The narcissus on the table that had been replaced with plastic plants was dyed golden from the light.
The sunlight was gentle and warm, but in everyone’s eyes, it was extremely dazzling.
After a long while, Zhao Jing sighed.
“What a sin we have committed…”
…
The Tail Current flew higher and higher, breaking through the atmosphere. It met up with the immigration spaceships from various countries and cities in outer space, forming a complete immigration fleet and heading towards the deep space universe.
At the rear view window of the cabin, all the supernatural immigrants were gathered here, looking at their hometown, Silver Wind Planet, that was getting further and further away.
No matter how lively they usually were, everyone was silent at this moment. An indescribable feeling flowed in their chests.
Zhou Jing silently watched the planet he had lived on for 20 years leave his sight. He still felt a little sad and reluctant.
“So this is how it feels to be far away from my homeland…”
Zhou Jing touched his heart. It seemed as though something had been hollowed out.
Pak!
At this moment, Zhou Jing suddenly felt a palm land on his shoulder.
Turning around, he saw that Li Xiaoyin casually hooked her arm around his shoulder and raised her chin at him in greeting.
Beside him, Xu Lingyun grinned. Zhang Xiao also raised his eyebrows at him.
Zhou Jing retracted his gaze, shook his head, and laughed. His empty heart suddenly felt much more full.
Although he had left his hometown, with his close friends by his side, he felt a sense of belonging wherever he went.
The light of the sun shone through the outline of Silver Wind Planet and onto everyone.
The sun was warm, like a new hope.
Zhou Jing let out a breath of air that he had subconsciously been holding in and looked at his hometown again. He suddenly felt a sense of relief from the inside out.
It was as if he had shed his invisible shackles. An indescribable sense of freedom rose within him.
In this era, there were many articles that taught people on how to be a qualified part that was needed, but there were very few taught them how to pursue the life they wanted.
If one day, he no longer needed to choose what he had to contribute to someone else’s life, but could pursue the people and things he truly liked or acknowledged, choose what he belonged to, and truly decide his life… Perhaps it would also be a rare freedom.
Three years, five years, 10 years later… Where would he stand? What kind of thing would he be doing, what kind of life would he lead?
Astral Traveling, the life of a Super… There were countless possibilities. The road ahead was long and wide.
Zhou Jing took a deep breath, his spirits lifted. His heart was filled with anticipation and yearning.
From now on, the past was behind him, and there was only the future in front of him.
