Chapter 213: Parting
Rong Mai watched his wife’s firm and confident steps, feeling greatly relieved in his heart. He looked at Shi An’an and sincerely wanted to thank her again.
Shi An’an quickly waved her hand. “No need to thank me, Uncle Rong. You know me—I hate all this thanking back and forth the most!”
“Pfft!” Rong Mai was amused by Shi An’an’s appearance. “Alright, then Uncle won’t say it!”
“Good, good, Uncle Rong, go get checked quickly!”
“Okay.” Rong Mai shook his head with a smile and walked over, following behind his wife to wait for the checkup.
Xi Meng’s side had already finished, and all the data had returned to normal.
Shi An’an then took out the previously brewed medicine and began clearing the toxin for everyone.
“It might hurt a bit and feel uncomfortable. Uncle Xi Meng, bear with it.” Shi An’an said softly.
“Come on, An’an. Uncle is least afraid of pain! Back then, our whole squad sacrificed, leaving just me fighting a Red Flame Beast alone. That fire burning on my body…”
Xi Meng talked endlessly about his past experiences, while Shi An’an quickly cleared the toxin for him.
Everyone lined up, and soon, each person had the toxin in their body cleared.
They had originally harbored a trace of doubt in their hearts, thinking it impossible to have been poisoned. Otherwise, after so many years, how had it never been detected in checks? And their daily lives had shown no discomfort.
Now, personally experiencing the toxin being forced out bit by bit, that painful sensation, and the black-green poisonous liquid forced out, they finally truly believed.
At the same time, they felt extremely bewildered in their hearts.
They had been poisoned so long ago, yet no one knew.
Over these many years, countless excellent soldiers had died from mental power collapse. Some perished together with star beasts, some were discharged and lived out their days in mediocrity, enduring torment, some gave up on themselves…
And the cause of all this was actually just one person satisfying their selfish desire. Truly ironic.
For a moment, everyone looked at the toxin in Shi An’an’s hand and fell silent.
This phenomenon had also been seen on Grandpa Liu and the others before. Shi An’an didn’t know how to comfort them and simply stood quietly by the side, waiting for them to figure it out themselves.
Rong Mai was the first to snap out of it. Seeing the bewildered or angry expressions on the others’ faces, he called out to wake everyone.
“Alright, the toxin has been resolved, and everyone’s bodies have recovered to normal. Weren’t you all eager to return to the team earlier and contribute to the Federation’s future?”
Xi Meng and the others heard this and slowly came back to their senses.
At this time, Han Lu walked over holding her child.
Rong Mai pointed at Xiao Ju. “The Federation’s future, your children’s future, needs us.”
Xi Meng suddenly stood up. “Screw them! I’m rejoining the team right now!
While I was bathing in blood on the front lines, those people didn’t think about how to manage the Federation well but dreamed of being king, wanting to cover the sky with one hand. Fat chance!”
“They’ve messed up the Federation like this—those people don’t deserve to be in that position anymore!”
“Right, I’m joining the Independent Legion to take them down!”
“Join what? Nowadays, aside from the First and Second Legions, all other legions are cooperating with the Independent Legion!”
“Let’s go, let’s go. I’m rushing back to report!”
“I’m going too!”
“An’an, when these matters are over, during our vacation, can we come back?”
Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned around, looking at Shi An’an expectantly.
A smile appeared on Shi An’an’s face. “Of course, you’re welcome anytime. Once H11 Planet is built, welcome to be the first batch of residents to move in!”
“Good! Then I’ll bring my wife and child over!”
“Me too. It’s so beautiful here—my family will definitely love it!”
……
Liu Qi walked over and, seeing the crowd fully recovered, a light smile appeared on his face.
“You’re here?” Rong Mai saw Liu Qi and raised an eyebrow at him.
“Yeah, last night you sent a bunch of messages saying you’d leave early this morning. The starship waited so long but no one came, so I came to check the situation.”
Song Yun walked over. “Before, we thought every day about leaving. Now that we’re finally leaving, we can’t bear to go.”
Rong Mai looked around, at the azure sky, the lush green plants, and the lively crowd, and let out a deep sigh. “In the future, when we retire, we’ll settle here!”
A smile appeared on Song Yun’s face, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes slightly visible as she looked at her husband. “Good.”
Song Yun and the others left, and for a moment, H11 Planet seemed much quieter.
After learning that this group had left, Shi Zhen Guang immediately contacted the other legions, asking them to contact the sanatoriums on the planets in their jurisdictions and send people to H11 Planet.
The commanders of the other legions, upon learning that General Liu and Commander Rong and the others had fully recovered, immediately had people tally the numbers and prepare to send them to H11 Planet.
At the same time, they contacted Shi Zhen Guang to inquire about the matter of the toxin in their bodies.
Ever since the matter of Wang Cheng poisoning everyone in the Federation was exposed, it had become a thorn in everyone’s heart.
After receiving inquiries from the various legion commanders, Shi Zhen Guang thought for a moment and then contacted his wife.
He asked his wife to discuss with their daughter whether the antidote medicine could be mass-produced, so that everyone in the Federation could clear the toxin from their bodies.
After discussing with her husband, An Yun first asked her daughter whether this medicine could be mass-produced.
After receiving her daughter’s affirmative reply, she contacted her former mentor team, hoping they could come to H11 Planet to produce the medicine.
B01 Planet
“Teacher, the experimental report for this medicine is out. Take a look. If there’s no problem, I’ll reply to the company…”
Li Zhenning handed the report in his hand to his teacher, who was also the director of this experimental base, Dr. Da Fei.
Da Fei took the report and examined it carefully. Moments later, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. “No problem. You can reply to them.”
“Okay, teacher, I’ll go right now…”
“Wait a moment, Zhenning!” Da Fei stopped Li Zhenning and gestured for him to sit down.
“Teacher, is there something else?” Li Zhenning sat down puzzled, looking at his teacher.
Da Fei adjusted her glasses and looked at the student she had personally mentored, a trace of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
Seeing his teacher’s hesitant expression, Li Zhenning thought for a moment and guessed what she was struggling with.
“Teacher, are you hesitating about An Yun’s invitation?”
Surprise appeared in Da Fei’s eyes. “You know about this?”
Li Zhenning smiled. “Junior Sister An Yun contacted me too. She hasn’t gotten your reply, so she asked about your situation.”
“You two… still keep in touch?” Da Fei was even more surprised. She had been hesitating because of their past relationship regarding An Yun’s invitation to her, and hadn’t made a final decision.
“Yeah, I’ve always kept in touch with Junior Sister. Teacher, you didn’t think…” Li Zhenning realized something and looked at his teacher in shock.
