The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 216 Space Overlord

Because Lu Yuan had never evolved, his body was very weak, making it difficult for him, now accustomed to life in space, to even breathe properly. He rested for a while, giving Gu Nanfeng and Ji Lang time to process what was happening.

“Our country has a space station in space, and it was the best in the world at the time. So after we entered space, we had a space station as our base. Many other major powers joined together and went to the space station of the United States. Several countries that had good relations with our country also came to our space station. So the already small number of people on Earth were divided into three groups in space.”

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh as he spoke. After entering space, those international powers that thought they were safe started fighting again. After all, they didn't have many supplies left before leaving Earth. So, the countries that considered themselves great powers on Earth, such as the US space station, fired the first shot in human spaceflight.

"They destroyed the smallest human space station." Lu Yuan lowered his head, and everyone present could deeply feel his emotions.

"Was it after those aliens attacked?" Pei Sihao asked again after Lu Yuan had calmed down a bit.

“Yes, but because humans evolved superpowers in the post-apocalyptic world, we originally thought we were weak, but the result was unexpected…” Lu Yuan’s emotions rose a bit, “Our country is very powerful even in interstellar space, so we were not killed by those powerful countries and we also withstood the attacks of alien creatures time and time again.”

Life in space stabilizes very quickly, since humans cannot communicate with extraterrestrial beings. Therefore, China's stance at the time was to fight violence with violence, and to defeat them until they dare not invade again.

The Chinese space station also expanded and stabilized rapidly within a year, and everything was moving in a positive direction. Because of the zombie apocalypse, the human physique had changed, and the researchers quickly discovered that human lifespan had actually increased. As a result, Lu Yuan lived to be over a hundred years old, but still looked like an ordinary human in his thirties.

"Did you return to Earth to stop the virus outbreak and save the planet and humanity?" Zhong Qiang, who was sitting in the last row of the helicopter, poked his head out. He hadn't really understood much of what Lu Yuan had said, except that the zombie virus was created by that bullshit "Project Star".

"Sorry, it really isn't..." Lu Yuan's expression was helpless, because his return to Earth in this era was truly an accident.

"No? Then why did you leave so much equipment in the space you gave Lu Xiaoyuan?" Yang Xiao was a little skeptical.

“Lu Xiaoyuan? Quite cute.” When Lu Yuan heard Yang Xiao call his other self that, he muttered a few words to himself and continued with a smile, “I am a history student. After the space station stabilized, I became a teacher and then a doctor. My main job is to compile the history of humankind on Earth.”

The later Chinese space station was no longer called that; it was renamed the Republican Government. The Republican Government, with a planet 60 billion light-years away as its main star, radiated outwards to approximately thirty to forty secondary planets of varying sizes, along with countless man-made space stations, becoming the dominant force in space.

Of course, those powerful countries were not weak either. They established federal governments, maintaining a relationship of opposition to, yet also a certain harmony with, the republican government.

In 2173, the federal and republican governments suddenly convened a meeting to discuss issues concerning Earth. After all, nearly a hundred years had passed since the zombie outbreak on Earth, and humanity, having drifted in space for a century, longed to return home.

“I met someone through a blind date according to the Republican government’s policy…” Lu Yuan didn’t go into details, but just glanced at Pei Sihao in front of him casually, and continued, “We didn’t have any feelings for each other, so I chose to participate in the Return to Earth Project.”

“My fiancé is very good to me. Even though he knows that I only participated in the Return to Earth program because I didn’t want to get married, he still prepared a mecha, a starship, and his new invention, the space ring, for me very seriously.” As Lu Yuan spoke, he raised his left hand, and everyone noticed that on the ring finger of Lu Yuan’s left hand, where there was originally a thin blue line, a silver ring of indistinguishable material had been placed.

"On my way back to Earth, the Federation spaceship I was on was attacked by other space creatures," Lu Yuan said, rubbing his spatial ring. "Because everyone on the ship had their own private starship, we scattered and fled. When I was escaping, I rushed into a black hole that was outside the planned route."

"Holy crap, just like in the movies and novels, every black hole in space is a jump point!" Zhong Qiang became more and more interested as he listened, and even started to fantasize about his future life in space.

“Marked black holes are safe, but entering an unmarked black hole will lead you back to Earth, just like I did…” Lu Yuan paused deliberately, then continued under everyone’s curious gazes, “back to ancient times on Earth…”

"Holy crap, no wonder Lu Xiaoyuan could still pull out a bow and arrow and a Tang sword, and there was so much food that didn't look like modern stuff." Yang Xiao was genuinely shocked this time, and suddenly he understood why Lu Yuan said he hadn't come back to save the world. It turned out he had accidentally returned, and to such an early time.

"Wait, you said you went back to ancient times?" Gu Nanfeng thought for a moment and then asked, "Which dynasty?"

“The Han Dynasty…” Lu Yuan said.

"You...you've lived for over two thousand years?" Pei Sihao almost choked on his own saliva, he simply couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it's probably because nearly a century of living in space has caused huge changes in my body, which is why I've been able to live on Earth for so long." Lu Yuan didn't mind that they thought he was an old monster; after all, he had become indifferent to many things over the years.

"So you've been stockpiling supplies in your spatial ring since the Han Dynasty?" Ji Lang, who had been silent for a long time, finally asked.

“Yes, I was thinking that if I could live to 2074, I would try to stop the zombie virus outbreak. If I don’t live to 2074, then stockpiling supplies can always help those in need when a major disaster strikes.” Lu Yuan finished speaking and smiled shyly. “Many people treat me like a bodhisattva.”

"This..." Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Yang Xiao originally wanted to complain, but after thinking about it carefully, in ancient times when a great disaster occurred, and a good-looking person brought a lot of life-saving supplies, what else could he be but a bodhisattva?

"Getting back to the point, since you've lived to 2074, why didn't you stop the virus outbreak?" Lin Yun asked, puzzled.

“Actually, since five years ago, the year the ‘Project Star’ was proposed, I have been trying to inform the government in various ways, but there has always been an invisible force preventing me. I was even hunted down at one point.” Lu Yuan sighed. “When I finally got out of trouble, it was already June 2074. I returned to China after many twists and turns, and I only had time to arrange things for my father in the hospital.”

"According to you, the Lu Yuan you've always known should be two different individuals." Gu Nanfeng had met this Lu Yuan before, during the four days when Lu Xiaoyuan lost his memory. In Gu Nanfeng's view, they should have been using the same body, and it seems that way now.
