Him and their stars.

Chapter 1802: Abyss Return Run

Feifei of course completely agreed with this opinion: "This may also give the Earth a positive signal. Or, a positive illusion."

Yu Lian glanced at his lover and asked, "Who is this signal to?"

"Everyone. Even the non-human species. Especially the Beanbears."

"...I still remember that a month ago, the Empire evaporated more than 20,000 bears in Biener and reduced nearly one million people to slavery."

"There are only 20,000 people." Feifei's tone was extremely calm, so calm that it even seemed a little cruel, and did not contain any sarcasm:

"This is already a very positive signal. According to the Empire's usual style, if they don't do anything to scare the monkeys and establish their authority, it would appear to be insincere."

This may not sound logical, but it is in line with the social reality of this cruel universe. Yu Lian had to admit that what she said made sense.

"What's more, those who were demoted to slaves were once high-ranking masters. For the lower-class bear people, is it a very important issue who is the master? Or are they full of gratitude to the conquerors of the empire?"

Yu Lian had to admit that what Feifei said was becoming more and more reasonable, and he was almost speechless.

Feifei then told Yu Lian that the bear people on the planet Biener were already holding a grand celebration to welcome the new conqueror. Some young bear people collected special ice crystals from the planet's ice fields and carved an ice sculpture of Emperor Ileser riding an eight-headed sacred dragon - according to the custom of the Biener bear people, the ceremony of worshiping the main god of the universe every ten years is just like this.

Well, there is not so much idealism in this filthy world after all. Races like the Lumina people may be a minority, and bear people like old comrade Baka are also special.

Feifei shook her head and said, "It's not the race, nor Mr. Baka, that's special. It's you, Yu'er."

Yu Lian felt embarrassed by the compliment, and just wanted to say something modest like "my wife is private", but Feifei said, "I am not partial to you. Before you came, the Lumina people only had an old factory that was struggling to survive. The vast majority of Lumina people still live like the ancients in the feudal era, obeying their kings and lords. If a talented Lumina youth is selected by the Star Knights, even if he cannot become a full knight but just a squire, he will definitely be the pride of the people of the entire planet.

Yu Lian thought of the young man from Lumina who became a squire knight. He was Babaru's childhood friend and also a disciple of the Red Maple Factory, but he eventually died as a guide.

Yu Lian couldn't even remember his name.

"The same goes for the Sand People of New Yumen. They are still living in the era of chiefdoms. But how are they worse than the Lumina people now? Yu'er, I bet they are fighting. Although we can't get any news from New Yumen."

She stared into Yu Lian's eyes, her eyes full of affection: "I said so much, but they just want to tell you. It's not them who are special, it's you. Yu'er, you told them to stand up and be human beings. You implanted civilization, courage, and perseverance in them."

Yu Lian almost wanted to be complacent and proud for a while. Of course, even with his shamelessness, he was still a little embarrassed after being proud.

If you keep praising me like this, I will definitely get carried away. Yu Lian was about to say this when he heard Feifei sneer, "Don't get me wrong. Yu'er, I'm not praising you."

Isn't this topic a bit too hasty?

"Sergeant Baka is your old comrade, right? You know that the Bean Bear people are simple, hardworking, brave and loyal. They deserve a progressive future."

Yu Lian shook his head and said, "How can it be the same? Beaner is in the Outer Ring Star Region. It has been managed by the big guys on Earth for a long time before it became independent."

"So, why don't you dare to let the Pioneer Party go to the outer ring or even the mainland to establish branches? Yu'er, it's your fault in the end."

Yu Lian felt guilty being stared at by those eyes as clear as black pearls, so he just said, "Well, even if there is a branch of the Pioneer Party there, I will definitely let them hide away like the Lumina people."

"Yes. This means that everything can still be salvaged." Feifei's eyes lit up: "In other words, you agree that the Pioneer Party will send a branch to Bienel."

"...In such an extraordinary period, it is indeed more suitable for the Pioneer Party to develop and grow."

"Your words are enough. Communications are smooth now, I will make the arrangements."

In fact, the official leader of the Pioneer Party is Mr. Qi, but it is meaningless to say these words now. It is indeed time to establish an organization behind enemy lines.

Yu Lian was not worried about the Far Shore Star Region, which was the main territory of the Pioneer Party. In addition to the New Shuntian where the rich and powerful and the petty bourgeoisie gathered, it was difficult to carry out work. The fishermen of New Seville and the cowboys of New Tennessee were actually natural workers and rebels, and they had already formed the shape of the Pioneer Party.

On the contrary, the outer ring and the mainland chose to keep a low profile because they did not want to irritate the dignitaries.

Then again, this was clearly a joint decision made by Mr. Qi and other executive committee members. How could it be my fault?
Yu Lian said: "We need to select the right people and arrange the infiltration channels. My... well, our organization was established not long ago and does not have a deep foundation. We are still in short supply of excellent personnel."

"Don't worry, sneaking into the channel is foolproof."

"Foolproof?"

Seeing Yu Lian's puzzled look, Feifei told him that the bear people had been celebrating the arrival of the "Imperial Liberator" for a week and they were still singing and dancing.

Of course, the above is what Feifei saw on GNN’s news today.

What she meant was that Pioneer Party personnel could enter disguised as media personnel.

"By the way, in such a chaotic situation, GNN reporters were able to go to Bienel to collect first-hand information? Are there still such fierce war reporters on Earth these days?"

"In fact, the Empire has never restricted the actions of the press in its occupied areas. As long as they do not carry weapons and do not interfere with the Empire's military operations, they will be fine."

Well, this is actually the consistent style of the Galactic Empire. They are fully aware of their reactionary nature, and they are not even ashamed of it, but proud of it.

Sadly, many people just fall for this.

"GNN's current political news is now openly discussing what impact it would have on everyone's lives if the entire community returned to the imperial rule system. Some experts have even begun to argue that prices were actually cheaper during the imperial rule than they are now, and the unemployment rate was almost non-existent. The happiness of the lower-class people was very high."

That's because there is a "crime of idleness" in the Empire, so who dares to be unemployed? Mines and farms in remote star regions are always short of people.

"This kind of program can be broadcast openly? What about the National Security Law? What about the wartime news control? Didn't we agree on economic mobilization? So, has the Earth already voted?"

"No. The Earth is still holding out. President Nishita is still calling on everyone to resist to the end. He will not leave the Earth." Feifei's expression was very serious, so the comedy effect on the scene was particularly obvious.

So Yu Lian laughed frankly. He felt that if he didn't laugh at this time, he would appear to have lost.

"Actually, there's no need to force yourself to laugh and make yourself look like a clown." Feifei said helplessly.

"Only someone who laughs like a clown can be called the Sun God." Yu Lian said seriously.

Feifei probably felt that Yu Lian was starting to get crazy, so she frowned and looked at him with worry, and said faintly: "...You, um, do you want to talk to Yani on the phone as well. She actually misses you a lot."

Yu Lian immediately retracted his smile. He felt that this bad woman was most likely playing him again. "Yani said that the Tuos Merchant Corps has stored a batch of military supplies in the Cold King Fortress, which can be used by the Outer Ring Fleet. This is the only thing the Alliance can do at the moment. Just for this reason, you still need to thank him." Feifei nodded seriously.

Yu Lian twitched his cheek and said seriously, "Haha, wait until the Alliance is willing to open the border to the Outer Ring Fleet, then consider thanking them."

Feifei spread her hands: "That's fine, the communication is unstable anyway. I was just chatting with Yani when the communication was interrupted."

Haha, luckily I was alert and didn't fall into your trap!
"Well, Yu'er, do you think they can't hold out for too long in Hanwangxing Gorge?"

"As long as we can last longer than Earth, that's pretty good."

"So, how do we go? Should we still go to the open sea and join the Outer Rim Fleet?"

This is a very difficult question to answer.

Yu Lian originally planned to infiltrate the Empire from the Cloud Tower Trail, stick to the remote star region adjacent to the center of the Milky Way, and enter the Empire's extreme frontier star region where he lived and fought. Then he would follow the original route that the plunderers took to enter the Abyss Nebula, so that the straight-line physical distance to the Great Ocean would be closer.

However, he was intercepted by the Empire in advance and was forced to activate Plan B and enter the Abyss Star Zone ahead of time. Naturally, the original marching plan needed to be completely revised.

He thought for a moment and opened the star map of the Abyss Nebula.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

In the Abyss Nebula known to the public, there is actually no so-called star map, only a confusing chaos; however, the star map that Yu Lian took out already had quite a lot of icons, as well as optional route upgrades with solid or dotted lines.

He was almost certain that this must be the most detailed star map of the Abyss Nebula, unique in the entire universe.

No matter whether it was the outlaws and underworld chieftains who raised their children in that pirate port, or the smugglers and Toss fleet that specialized in navigating dangerous routes, or even the plunderers and snakes, none of them would be more familiar with the Abyss Nebula than himself.

Of course, there are question marks next to some of the prompts.

After all, this is information obtained from a "dream", and Yu Lian cannot fully guarantee its authenticity.

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

"Let's go this way." Yu Lian pointed at a dotted channel with a question mark on it: "We may enter the hunting range of a group of wild crystal clusters."

"Then use the Breath of Fire Dragon on them." Feifei stretched out a fist.

Yu Lian continued, "After passing through this dangerous group of variable-light stars, the star phases will become relatively stable. This will be the main activity area for the big pirates and smugglers of the Abyss Nebula, but I believe that the pirates will not dare to mess with us."

Feifei said: "Indeed, we did business with the Tuos Merchant Group here last time."

By the way, the Toss Merchant Corps sent a group of excellent crew members to practice on the newly seized Cook - of course, it was still called the Scarlet Throne, saying that they wanted to accumulate driving skills for large warships. This really solved Yu Lian's urgent need.

After all, an inexperienced rookie is better than no one.

Now, most of these hundreds of crew members have completed their studies and returned to their home country, but a small number have become foreign officers and soldiers of the Earth Expeditionary Fleet. There have been sacrifices in every major war.

There are currently more than fifty Tos people still alive, and they are still serving in Yang Fleet as mercenaries.

Isn't this a broad universal united front for everyone to come together to overthrow the imperial tyranny?
"If we can arrive here safely, we will be back on track." Feifei said, "So, you still want to meet up with the Outer Ring Fleet?"

Yu Lian shook his head: "We will go in the opposite direction of the invasion route of Great Khan Tomiteli, detour from the center of the Milky Way back to the Cantilever Star Region, and go back to New Shenzhou via New Tennessee."

Feifei's eyes became even more worried, as if she was looking at a madman: "This is equivalent to a round trip in the Abyss Nebula, which will add at least 2000 light years."

Yu Lian nodded.

"And no system will be safe along the way. Our voyage is like walking a tightrope."

Yu Lian continued to nod and even said proudly: "It's actually like playing football on an egg, but it depends on the level of the captain and the navigator. At least in these two areas, our Xunli is top-notch."

"Well, this is a war, and safety has always been a luxury." Feifei had no choice but to accept this statement, but still calculated: "However, even if we can successfully make it to the end, we still have to work hard to break through the empire's blockade of the mountain and sea routes."

"We'll just have to act according to circumstances. The purpose of a captain is to be able to command. It's impossible for a mere Biff to stop me."

"What if we add Lieutenant General Yeager Sobek?"

"He's already a lieutenant general? Isn't that too fast? Hmm? Did you eavesdrop on some new information?" Yu Lian looked at Feifei: "Did Yani miss some information?"

"You guessed it right. You two really have a tacit understanding!" Feifei snorted coldly.

Yu Lian had never expected that Feifei could find an excuse for this.

"According to the information provided by the Alliance Intelligence Bureau, Sobek has officially taken over the full command of the Karaman Fleet and is on standby in Xinshuntian to receive additional troops and warships." Feifei smiled and said, "I just think that you two are destined to meet each other in the future."

Yu Lian felt that it was not bad to have such a fate. No matter what kind of character Brother Suo was now, no matter how capable this enemy he recognized as was, he was still his enemy after all.

A true hero does not choose his enemies, but defeats all of them.

Feifei stared at Yu Lian: "Will it go smoothly?"

Yu Lian spread his hands: "I don't know, but at least it's a feasible backup plan."

"Yes. Yu'er always has backup plans for all his plans. Others think you are a brave general who is as aggressive as fire and as powerful as thunder, but I know that the saying "moving in the sky and hiding in the ground" is used to describe you, isn't it?"

Yu Lian was very touched.

Sometimes, it is very simple to see whether a girl loves you or not, that is, to see whether she is willing to provide you with emotional value without spending any money.

"What about Earth?"

Yu Lian wiped away tears that he didn't know if they existed, and said in a sobbing voice: "I am incompetent and incapable, but I must endure hardships and repay the country's kindness."

Feifei, however, put on a relieved smile and hugged Yu Lian tightly: "Then I feel relieved. People have said it a long time ago. The earth is not important, you are important."
