Chapter 55: Reorganization
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
The evacuees from the Black Gold Fortress couldn’t land because no fully developed planet could accommodate such a large number of immigrants. In the end, Xi Yuan decided to settle all the people from the Black Gold Fortress on an undeveloped and desolate planet.
Clos’s spacecraft quickly departed from the capital star, carrying a large amount of supplies and equipment to the desolate planet. Dong Du also set off to join Xi Yuan and others as soon as he received the news.
At the moment of disembarking, it was windy on the desolate planet. The gray-red sand was lifted by the wind and lightly scratched their faces. There was nothing here, not even the people who lived here, who were all living in the spacecraft.
Dong Du was a little trance. He felt as if he had returned to the end of the world, back to the days of living on the sea. However, he didn’t stay in a daze for long. Someone hugged him suddenly, “Your Highness, are you okay?”
It was Meng Ruan.
Novisane lifted him up like holding a chick. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Ruan, not even saying a word. Meng Ruan understood his meaning.
“Your Highness is not your Highness.” Meng Ruan whispered. He pulled Dong Du and walked towards the spacecraft, “Your Highness, I’ll take you to His Majesty.”
Xi Yuan’s temporary office was a living cabin, and it was also his dormitory. Inside, there were gathered people like Zhu Di, Hanchester, and cabinet ministers. Xi Yuan held a drawing and was discussing something with Zhu Di.
He was holding the development plan for the desolate planet, hastily drawn up by the planners from the capital star. As soon as Clos’s capital star spacecraft arrived, construction would start immediately. First, residential areas would be built, and then other areas would be slowly developed.
When they first landed on the desolate planet, the faces of the people were all gray and defeated. But after learning that the insect race had been annihilated and after a few nights of rest, gradually everyone’s faces showed smiles. Some alphas were discussing development, while some omegas were discussing planting issues.
The children had also forgotten their fear and troubles, running and playing between the spacecraft.
While they were studying the drawings, Dong Du leaned on a small round window, watching the children outside. Novisane backed up to him and said, “Do you like children?”
“Do you like them?” Dong Du asked.
“If they are like you, I can endure it. If they are like me, I can’t stand it.” Novisane frowned, a painful hiss escaping through his teeth. “Children are very troublesome.”
“I feel the same way.” Dong Du had a strange feeling in his heart. In reality, he didn’t find children troublesome, but he thought it would be too strange for him to have children. His mindset didn’t align with the beliefs of this world.
The two ended their brief conversation. Xi Yuan and Zhu Di also discussed some unreasonable aspects of the drawings. Hanchester took the drawings to provide feedback to the planners on the capital star. Meng Ruan looked pitiful and wanted to come over and chat with Dong Du.
Under the threat of Novisane’s authority, he didn’t dare to approach.
Many people had left Xi Yuan’s room, and Meng Ruan was also called away by the Prime Minister. The head of the Meng family, being friends with the Prime Minister, entrusted him to take care of Meng Ruan.
In the room, only Dong Du, Novisane, Zhu Di, and Xi Yuan remained. It was only at this time that Xi Yuan had the opportunity to come over and check on Dong Du. He pinched Dong Du’s arm, “It’s good that you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay.”
Facing Xi Yuan, who was like an elder, Dong Du felt somewhat uneasy. He touched his nose awkwardly, “It’s all thanks to Dr. If it weren’t for her, we might still be struggling hard now.”
“Where is Dr. Xu?” Xi Yuan sighed gently. “She is truly a rare talent.”
“Dr is inspecting the soil on the desolate planet.” Dong Du replied. “She went as soon as she disembarked.”
Xi Yuan sighed softly, “Let her be busy. Having idle time can also be a kind of torment.”
Dong Du remained noncommittal. Xi Yuan wanted to keep Novisane behind to discuss some other matters, so Dong Du and Zhu Di left the living cabin together. After the cabin door closed, Zhu Di suddenly stopped and turned to look at Dong Du, “Do you like Novisane?”
He nodded, lifting his eyes to look at Zhu Di. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Zhu Di continued walking forward. After being silent for a while, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. “I always thought I had the best chance.”
Dong Du scratched his head inexplicably, “What chance?”
“Nothing, Your Highness.” Zhu Di shook his head. “Wish you happiness.”
“Alright.” Dong Du didn’t press for more information. Everyone has a few secrets and things they don’t want to talk about. Sometimes, getting answers can lead to awkward situations where you know but can’t solve the problem.
The two quickly separated. Dong Du wandered around on the desolate planet. Along the way, people greeted him. Whether alpha or omega, it seemed that everyone had quickly regained their vitality, setting up stoves to cook. It was like a complete camping environment.
Dong Du was stopped by a group of children. The children who hadn’t differentiated into a second gender yet were treated as the same gender, regardless of being boys or girls. They chased each other, and no one mentioned what tasks each gender should do.
“Your Highness, Daddy says you are the pride of omegas. If I differentiate into an omega in the future, I want to be an omega like you!” A little girl puffed up her arm, proudly patting her soft and tender arm. “I’ve started exercising now. Daddy says that as long as I persist in exercising, I can become like Your Highness.”
“I am the one who wants to become like Your Highness. Your strength is not as great as mine!” A little boy with a missing front tooth puffed out his chest, pounded his chest like a gorilla twice, and then grinned, “Wow~”
The other children laughed, and the little girl disdainfully kicked the little boy down to the ground. “Daddy says you’re a fool. You can only differentiate into Daddy’s type of brainless alpha with a big chest!”
“You, you will differentiate into an alpha!” The little boy pouted in grievance, ready to cry.
Originally, strong people wanted to differentiate into alphas. But because of Dong Du, all the children from the Black Gold Fortress assumed that omega by nature was stronger than alpha.
Dong Du was overwhelmed by the noise. Children pulled him, insisting that he provide an explanation. Omega parents in the distance shouted at the children not to disturb him, but in such an atmosphere, the kids simply couldn’t be obedient.
Catching a glimpse of Fina from the corner of his eye, Dong Du patted the heads of the children. “Do you see that omega sister over there? She’s even more formidable than me. Go ask her; she’ll tell you.”
The children cheered and rushed over. Fina suddenly found herself surrounded. Even her usually closed eyes widened in surprise for a moment before closing again. However, Dong Du still noticed. Those were a pair of doll-like artificial eyes.
“Sister, is omega stronger than alpha?”
Fina: “Yes.”
“Sister, do you think I’ll differentiate into an omega? Mary says I can only become a brainless alpha. How can I differentiate into omega?”
Fina: “Exercise more.”
“Sister, who do you think is more powerful, you or the little prince?”
Fina: “Me.”
Dong Du, enjoying the leisurely moment, immediately retorted, “Nonsense! Clearly, I’m the more powerful one!”
Fina turned her face towards him, her mouth gently curving upward. “Your Highness, dare to fight me without using your eyes?”
“What’s there not to dare?” After searching for a while, Dong Du finally took a scarf from a child’s neck and used it as a makeshift blindfold.
The cheers of the children attracted everyone’s attention. Soldiers and civilians in the midst of reorganization gathered around. They formed a circle around Fina and Dong Du, with some even cheering them on.
“Go, Sister Nun! Knock the little prince down!” This came from an alpha soldier who had suffered under Dong Du.
“Little Prince, go for it! The little prince is the most powerful; the little prince will never lose!” This was from the civilians in the Black Gold Fortress who held Dong Du in high regard.
“Go, go!” This was the children who didn’t know whom to support.
Inside the spaceship, Novisane and Xi Yuan stood in front of a small circular window. Xi Yuan’s expression was cold, and after a moment, he suddenly spoke, “Do you think Fina can win?”
“It depends on whether Dong Du wants her to win or not.” Novisane remained calm, and there was only a little candy left in his mouth. However, the peachy fragrance was still intoxicating. He smiled, “Your Majesty, letting Fina win once wouldn’t hurt. It can showcase Dong Du’s magnanimity.”
“But, in the hearts of the Black Gold Fortress people, he cannot afford to lose.” Xi Yuan tapped his wrist with his fingers, “It would damage his dignity.”
“Ten small asteroids.” Novisane shrugged helplessly. “Your Majesty, no more. Aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood by others?”
“What’s there to misunderstand?” Xi Yuan’s face softened slightly. “As a prince, one must bring something valuable to the country. They will think our little prince is precious; he’s a deal.”
While they were talking, Fina and Dong Du had already started sparring. Both of them were skillful and showed no intention of holding back. Alpha soldiers were all cheering, and the children were staring wide-eyed, idolizing them.
“The prince is really amazing.”
“The lady nun is also very powerful. Female omega is also very formidable!”
Meng Ruan had just finished talking with his father and walked out with a dejected look. Seeing the crowd gathered here, he approached. But after a while, he detached himself from the dejection.
The heroic posture of the little prince made his blood boil. As an alpha who had grown up overly protected, he also wanted to be this powerful.
In the end, Fina was defeated by Dong Du. However, among the alpha soldiers present, none had defeated Dong Du. In comparison, Fina was already extremely powerful.
The alphas whistled and cheered for Fina. Fina snorted heavily, her expression arrogant as she looked at Dong Du, “Next time, I will definitely defeat you.”
Before Dong Du could respond, a voice came from the crowd. Meng Ruan raised his hand high, “Your Highness, I want to challenge you.”
The crowd erupted in cheers. Dong Du didn’t say anything, just made a gesture. Meng Ruan, full of momentum, went up and ended up getting beaten up, full of question marks. When the little prince and Fina fought, did they use such force?
A sonic boom came from above, and everyone looked up, only to see a spaceship with the Clos flag slowly docking in the distance.
“It’s a spaceship from the capital star.”
The alpha soldiers received a signal to organize, and they all went to the spaceship to move supplies.
