Chapter 154: The Aftertaste Is Bitter, But There Will Ultimately Be Sweetness (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
However, after meeting you, she no longer insists on her previous point of view.
Because you are that light. You existed for a short period of time before leaving, but at least you gave us hope.
Now that we are moving in the direction that this light left, we will no longer be lost in the future.
I hope you will never give up on the determination in your heart.
Today, I was promoted to the director of the Scarlet Research Institute. The burden on my shoulders has become even heavier.
I suddenly realized that I’ve gotten used to occasionally sharing my buried thoughts with you in the mailbox.
I really want to meet you.
Unfortunately, we will never be able to meet because we are not from the same era.
I was not born in your glorious days. And in the days after you disappeared and returned, 1 might have long turned into dust.
I read your life through history, and you read my life through history and this email inbox.
Hahaha, how interesting.
221.1 realized that I’m also aging bit by bit. The effect of genetic life extension on me is getting weaker and weaker.
We’ve left a lot of technology for you.
But we also know that these technologies may not be useful at all.
Today, we sent off another senior from the base. Looking at myself, whose temples are already graying in the mirror, I’m so emotional.
Time has flown by, but none of us can let go.
Along the way, our appearances have aged with time and we have matured with our experiences. All that is left behind is the unwavering determination in our hearts.
I’m lucky to have you so that we won’t spend the rest of our lives in bewilderment.
298.1 suddenly wondered if Teacher had lied to us?
Actually, there is no Feng Qi who transmigrated time and space again and again to save the world.
All of this is just a white lie left behind by Teacher before she left. The goal was to let us live with hope and not spend the rest of our lives in helplessness.
But even if you’re fake, you’ve become real now.
Because everyone believes in your existence and firmly believes that you’ve always existed.
I’m coughing up blood every day. Just Teacher, I could only use genetic injections to extend my life.
Fortunately, I’ve already nurtured a new successor. Her personality is very similar to that of Teacher’s. Delicate thoughts are always hidden in her heart, and what is shown to outsiders is always her sunny side.
I decided to delegate authority to her recently and let her continue to lead the future of the Scarlet Research Institute.
In the end, my choice might be the same as Teacher’s. 1 will go take a look at the outside world before I die.
Even though this world has become dilapidated, it is still our homeland.
Actually, there are many children in the base who yearn for the outside world.
They are born in the base, and their understanding of the outside world comes from pictures, videos, and our descriptions.
Isn’t such a future very sad?
Only you can change all of this and personally shape our ideal future.
I’ve decided to leave. This will be my last message to you.
Feng Qi, walk forward boldly. We’ll protect you.
The road ahead is long, and there will eventually be a turnaround.
The aftertaste is bitter, but there will ultimately be sweetness.
After reading Zhu Baichang’s message, Feng Qi could not help but sigh.
Reading through the messages was like reading the joys and sorrows of his growth.
From a young and energetic young man, he grew up step by step with a dream.
After losing the protection of his teacher’s wings, he felt his way forward. The burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier. In the end, he carried a heavy responsibility and became the director of the Scarlet Research Institute.
His thoughts also matured day by day as he grew up. The determination in his heart did waver he suspected that there was no Feng Qi who could
transmigrate through space and time.
Everything was just his teacher’s white lie.
However, in the end, he still survived the confusion in his heart and believed that there was hope in this world again.
Until his temples turned white and he was on the verge of death, he looked back on his life and finally decided to embark on the final stop of his life on the surface like his teacher.
He would take one last look at the world of his hometown and then stand in the dusk to welcome the final full stop of his life.
As Feng Qi sighed, he felt upset.
However, he quickly regained his determination.
Just as Zhu Baichang had said at the end, the road ahead was long, and there would eventually be a turnaround. The aftertaste is bitter, but there will ultimately be sweetness
He still had to continue on this path.
He would not stop until he achieved his goal.
From the beginning where we worked for the sake of his dream, he now realized that he had already carried many people’s dreams on his shoulders.
He was not alone on this long road to salvation.
Even though they were in different eras, they were still peers. The remaining light before they burned up illuminated the way he was going.
[It’s precisely because of these pioneers who were willing to sacrifice themselves that I’ve always firmly believed that you can save the world and usher in a brilliant golden age. Don’t complain that the road ahead is bumpy. The path to pursue your dreams is a winding one to begin with.]
Feng Qi nodded at the narrator’s words.
Putting away the surging emotions in his heart, he turned around and walked towards the elevator.
Next, he planned to return to the Star City Shelter to read up on the cultivation system and promote the development of the human cultivation system.
Now, they had clearly found the dark forces.
After returning to reality, he would also launch an operation to resist the Science and Technology Research Institute.
If it could be eliminated, it would be equivalent to removing the stumbling block in the path of humanity and stepping into the high-speed development stage.
In the face of the final battle, the improvement of the overall strength of humans was especially important.
If the entire human civilization was a single person, then the Science and Technology Research Institute, which was rooted in human civilization, was like a virus. If it was not completely eliminated, humans would not become strong no matter how hard they trained.
Only by killing the virus would human civilization become healthier and stronger with every subsequent training.
When he arrived at the elevator, the metal door slowly opened as the green light swept past.
He walked in and the elevator door closed.
A few seconds later, a messy scene appeared in front of him.
The square was filled with holes of various sizes and covered in rubble. Several rooms around it had also collapsed.
Walking out of the elevator door, Feng Qi turned to the right where the sounds were coming from.
At this moment, Suction Cup was expressionless. She chased after the black fog and quickly punched. Her speed was so fast that he could only see blurry fist shadows.
Wherever she passed, fist marks were left on the ground.
Their battle was like a demolition team. Feng Qi did not doubt that if they continued fighting, the entire Scarlet Research Institute base would collapse. “Suction Cup, go for it!”
After shouting, he walked towards the entrance of the passageway without looking back.
[Brother, you’re too perfunctory. Shouldn’t you wipe your tears and say with a sobbing tone that you’ll avenge her before leaving?]
“If crying works, I can cry 24 hours a day without stopping. I’ll definitely cry Blackie to death.”
Feng Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes and continue walking toward the metal passageway.
After leaving the underground base, he walked straight out of the abandoned hospital and headed for the Star City Shelter.
Even now, he was still very curious about the energy node in the east mentioned by the narrator.
However, knowing that he was not strong enough, he did not choose to continue east.
According to the narrator, there was a nearly 100% chance that he would die on the way, with no possibility of finding the energy node.
To him, it was extremely stupid to waste precious time in the future dream on a hopeless journey.
While there was still time, he felt that returning to the Star City Shelter was the best choice.
After killing Mala, his shriveled heart was filled with blood and Qi again and he could use his Blood Source ability once more.
If possible, he also wanted to kill a few domain creatures along the way to obtain a new innate ability to strengthen himself.
After walking out of the abandoned hospital area that was overgrown with weeds, he began to hurry.
As he ran, psyche power seeped out of his body and turned into a boosting force that pushed him forward quickly.
The wind howled in his ears.
He thought of his classmates’ graduation comments, Wei Wei’s expectations, and Zhu Baichang’s determination…
The surging emotions in his heart turned into the power he used to run.
No matter how tortuous this path of salvation was, he would never give up..
