Cave Refuge-Chapter 323 - 296 Blue Star Has Grown Bigger

"I guess I’m going to be staying around here for a while, otherwise I’d have gone back with you already?"

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Dong Tianyu was somewhat surprised. He had heard some of the conversation between Ye Liuyun and Hamish, so he asked with some confusion, "Since when did a middleman like you start managing things at this camp?"

After hearing Dong Tianyu’s words, Ye Liuyun sighed helplessly, "What can you do when others treat you like a god? Back when the Pengcheng Government camp was short on food, they treated me like an honored guest just to get some grains from me.

But now, the Imperial Court has reached an agreement with the Pengcheng Government and established a regular Waterway, with cargo ships arranged to come for trade every week. Pengcheng Government has deep pockets now; the situation has turned around, and it’s me asking favors from these camp managers.

The old geezers have all retired to the second line and fled to Saxon County, haven’t they? If some of us brothers hadn’t come back early and retained our positions, this West City District would have been completely taken over by the Airdrop Faction.

It’s either the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind over the east; fortunes change, just like ’Thirty years in the east; thirty in the west.’ We can be flexible and know when to bow our heads; you can’t survive in this business with a stiff back.

If we were before the catastrophe, not to brag, but not just in West City District, even in the six counties around it, where couldn’t I be treated as a honored guest? Just like Warren George, as long as I was in Pengcheng, whichever office I entered, if I wanted soda, I got soda, and if I wanted coffee, I got coffee.

But now, with the old man retired, don’t look at the eldest of Family Li having passed away; the mess he left has caused rifts in what used to be our united network.

The fact that Pengcheng Government and the Imperial Court were out of touch was good as it gave us, the locals, a chance to catch our breath, and we even suppressed those from the Airdrop Faction occasionally.

But who would have expected the preparedness of the Imperial Court? Not to mention the cargo ships, did you notice that point of light shooting into the sky the other night? That was a rocket launched from Jiuquan. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The EMP wrecked the electronic devices on Blue Star, so we lost contact with the satellites in space. This time, the Imperial Court launched a satellite to determine if there was still a way to connect to those satellites.

And don’t forget, we still have a space station up there, with people still inside it."

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s explanation, Dong Tianyu became a bit curious.

Without deliberately keeping him in suspense, Ye Liuyun shared what he knew, "The situation with the last satellite launch was much like when China first launched a satellite, although this time there was more experience.

However, because of the EMP, at the time of the satellite launch, we didn’t have spare parts. If that launch had failed, we probably wouldn’t have been able to try again for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Dong Tianyu nodded, "And then?"

"Then the launch succeeded, the satellite went up, and cell phones got a signal. Now we can make and receive calls again."

Hearing Ye Liuyun state the obvious, Dong Tianyu clenched his teeth in annoyance and said sternly, "You know that’s not what I’m asking."

Seeing the urgency on Dong Tianyu’s face, Ye Liuyun chuckled, "How am I supposed to know what you want to learn if you don’t ask? Just ask directly, and I will tell you. If you don’t ask, how would I know what you want me to tell you? With our relationship, if there’s something you need to know, you definitely have to vocalize it..."

Listening to Ye Liuyun babble incessantly, reminiscent of Tangseng from that classic movie, Dong Tianyu, feeling helpless, interrupted him straight away, "Enough, you know what I want to ask. If you say more nonsense, I’ll let you experience the exquisite pain of a ’blooming chrysanthemum.’"

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s words, Ye Liuyun shivered. It was then that he remembered, it seems Dong Tianyu’s martial prowess wasn’t much different from his brother, Robinson William. Both of them already had a sense of Inner Breath before the Officials publicly declared their Martial Artist status.

While the Officials haven’t announced any cultivation Realm beyond the Inner Breath Realm, others might not be aware, but his older brother Robinson William knew very well. Even though it was just daily training, Robinson William often fought alone against three Martial Artists of the same Inner Breath Realm.

Robinson William once mentioned to him that at the beginning when he got close to Dong Tianyu, he felt a hint of danger, but not long after, unless he saw Dong Tianyu standing right next to him, he couldn’t sense his presence even when closing his eyes and focusing on his surroundings.

The sensory ability of an Inner Breath Realm Martial Artist is strong; with their eyes closed, they can still understand the surroundings. Even if the obstacles around them are inanimate objects without life, an Inner Breath Realm Martial Artist can still clearly perceive everything around.

But with Dong Tianyu close by, and even standing beside Robinson William, unless he actually saw Dong Tianyu’s body, Robinson William couldn’t detect his presence. What does this mean? It means Dong Tianyu’s strength had surpassed Robinson William’s.

As Ye Liuyun was aware of Robinson William’s strength and trusted him not to deceive him on this matter, Ye Liuyun chose to yield before Dong Tianyu’s threat.

After all, those who were living a comfortable life would often say during the invasion of China: "Hee hee, a Martial Artist who recognizes the times is a wise one,"
