My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 298 - Chapter 298 298 District 12

Chapter 298: 298 District 12 Chapter 298: 298 District 12 The time spent together always seemed very brief. A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Yang Jinxia logged off. Two days later, Bai Jinxuan followed and logged on.

Chen Xu didn’t know if they had discussed it privately, but their timing was always precise. As soon one person logged off, a few days later the other would log on.

Except for the first time, Yang Jinxia and Bai Jinxuan had never appeared in the dream at the same time. It was as if they didn’t exist for each other.

Three women, taking turns to keep him company, each for a year at a time–eleven years had now passed.

He had nothing to complain about with such days.

When he was with Bai Jinxuan, it was a different atmosphere.

In the morning, Chen Xu would be cooking breakfast while she warmed up her voice with some vocal exercises.

Ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong dong…

In the morning, while Chen Xu fiddled with machinery in the study, she would be playing the piano.

By the afternoon, she’d change into a different outfit to practice dancing. It was only in the evening when she would read for a while, focusing on music and dance theory.

Other than that, she showed no interest in other kinds of knowledge.

Apart from dancing by herself, she’d often pull Chen Xu in to dance with her.

Chen Xu had never danced before; not street dance, not even been clubbing, let alone dancing a ballroom or standard dance with a girl.

Bai Jinxuan led him in learning together. At first, her level wasn’t great either. She joined the industry too soon and became popular too quickly that she didn’t have the time to practice much. It was good enough that she could learn anything at all.

They started with ballroom dances, next was the waltz, followed by the rumba, tango, and the like.

Base life was said to be fulfilling, but it could also be quite boring. It was essential to find something interesting. With Luo Xiyun, it involved playing sports like basketball and soccer, spiced up with small bets for fun.

With Yang Jinxia, their leisure time involved watching movies. After spending much time together, her true lazy nature was revealed; she wasn’t fond of sports. Chen Xu had to drag her to participate every time.

What she loved to do the most was to lie in Chen Xu’s arms and watch movies together.

Chen Xu thought that life in the base was too relaxed. There was no substantial threat from outside, and the internal development was well-ordered. There was no need to worry much. Once people relaxed, they naturally became lazy.

He understood this sentiment well. Honestly, if not for the heavy pressure he felt inside, he probably would have been in a similar state.

In comparison, Bai Jinxuan seemed to work too hard. Apart from the time spent dancing with him, she was always striving to improve herself, either practicing or reading.

Chen Xu could see that she genuinely enjoyed it. Those who take pleasure in learning are definitely gifted; it wouldn’t be surprising for them to achieve great success.

…

“What song is that?”

Having solved a challenging problem and seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Xu put down his work, washed his hands, and walked over to the piano to ask.

It was a cheerful tune; Chen Xu found it somewhat familiar, but it had been too long, and he couldn’t remember it at all.

Bai Jinxuan started playing it again and began singing, “Ugly folk live long, the handsome age too fast, I’d rather be an oddball, naughty and lovable…” She sang while looking at him, smiling very happily.

When she finished singing, Chen Xu said with a sense of admiration, “Your progress is really significant.”

Initially, her level was at a beginner’s, but now she could fluidly play various tunes. What was even more impressive was her singing; he had watched her grow from an amateur enthusiast to a professional standard.

“Come on, you play one,” Bai Jinxuan said with a smile, pulling him to sit close to her by the piano.

Chen Xu would occasionally learn the piano from her during his free time. Now, he was roughly at a beginner’s level.

This eleven-year dream life made him increasingly realize how important having a hobby was. People are not machines; they need a break sometimes and something different to change their mood.

He dabbled in cooking, played sports, watched movies, played games, and later began dancing and playing the piano … his range of hobbies had become wider.

He asked, “How do I play that song from earlier?”

“Like this…” Bai Jinxuan demonstrated it for him at the piano.

…

“Is there nobody inside?”

In the control center, Chen Xu frowned as he looked at the screen showing a cave, “What about the level below?”

Zheng Niu answered, “No, according to the video data, the underground world has been occupied by various animals for many years and seems to have been abandoned a long time ago.”

This cave was the entrance to Sector Twelve. A month ago, he had sent clones to check the situation underground. Yesterday they finally returned, and the information they brought back was somewhat unexpected.

All of the humans in Sector Twelve had vanished. After being overtaken by animals, the place was destroyed beyond recognition, leaving nothing of value behind.

Whether the humans had left or died there was now unknown.

After some thought, he said, “Send two thousand robots down to exterminate the animals living there.”

Since there were no people left, only animals, he would not show any mercy. The foundation of the underground world was well-built and could easily serve as a base. Once it was deemed safe, the most core components of the colonization kit could be moved there, ensuring safety against any accidents.

The core area of the base was built to the highest standards, but in terms of safety, it was far inferior to the underground world.

The current base couldn’t withstand an attack at the level of a landing craft’s main cannon. But the underground world, situated one thousand meters below, was impervious to such firepower.

Upon Chen Xu’s command, the robots began to act.

Sector Twelve had been more affected by the earthquake from years ago, with the surviving area being only half the size of Sector Thirteen. It took the two thousand robots a few days to cleanse the underground area of animals.

These animals had evidently escaped from the laboratories on the first underground level; they were truly strange and varied. To avoid future problems, it was safer to kill them all. After their extermination, the bodies were collected and incinerated.

Next came the cleanup, a far more troublesome task. It was unclear how long it had been since any humans lived there, and it had essentially become a dump.

After the garbage was cleared, they would need to sanitize, ventilate, and so on. It wasn’t a job that could be completed in a day or two.

PS: Feeling a bit under the weather today, so only one chapter. Will make up for it tomorrow.
