Genius Club.

Chapter 482 We and You

"Okay, take your time to think about it."

Lin Xian patted his shoulder:

"If you are willing to come, I will definitely be happy. One more person you can trust will give us one more helper in the future."

"But... like I told you before, hibernation is a one-way ticket. After 200 years, you can never come back. You have to think it through."

"Hey."

Gao Yang sighed:
"If you ask me if I want to go, I definitely don't want to go. Who doesn't want to enjoy life now? And it's you who has the ability to save the future of mankind, not me. Why should I worry so much? I am the kind of 'powerless person who history will not blame' as Zhao Yingjun said."

"But let me be honest...if I had your ability to save the world, I would also hibernate into the future."

"why?"

Gao Yang's answer surprised Lin Xian.

When did this guy's ideological stance become so high?
"because……"

Gao Yang paused:
"Because you will definitely regret it."

He raised his head, scratched the back of his head, and said in distress:
"From your perspective, the first 20 to 30 years will be fine. Looking at your wife and children, you will feel that it is right and worthwhile for you to stay."

"But when you are old, you will know that because of your choice, the world will be destroyed in the future, humans will become extinct, and you will deceive Chu Shanhe, causing him to hibernate until the end of the world and he will not be able to see his daughter..."

"You will definitely regret not standing up and taking responsibility for it all. Just like many people, when they saw a child falling into the river, they didn't go down to save the child because they were worried that they would drown, and then the child died... When you think about it countless days and nights in the future, this kind of guilt and regret can overwhelm you."

"Actually, I just said that because I couldn't bear to leave you. To be honest, I admire your behavior and I can understand it."

"[Take the example of jumping into the river to save people, don't those brave people have wives and children? The firefighters rushed into the sea of fire, don't they have wives and children? The anti-drug fighters risked their lives to protect us, don't they have wives and children?"

"I'm only telling you these words because I can't persuade you. Besides... I really can't just sit back and watch Chu Anqing's affairs."

He raised his head and looked at Lin Xian:

"That day, the one who jumped out of the plane was Chu Anqing, our friend, our partner... What if it was us who jumped out and disappeared that day?"

"Do you think from Chu Anqing's perspective, would she make the same choice as you and hibernate into the future to save us?"

"An Qing will definitely do it."

Lin Xian replied softly.

He didn't even need to think about it, An Qing would definitely do this.

He blinked and looked at Gao Yang:

"She dared to go to the U.S. Capitol alone to cheer me on, dared to go out of the space shuttle to perform a mission at the age of 19, and even dared to jump out of a plane to capture space-time particles for me."

"If it was us who sacrificed ourselves instead of her... Chu Anqing would have hibernated into the future without hesitation to find hope of saving us."

boom!
Gao Yang slammed his fist on the table and yelled:

"That's it! Fuck, An Qing would hibernate for us. Now, since there is hope of saving her in the future, how can we back down?"

"Damn, it's better not to go to class this time. Come on, let's go have a drink and have a good chat."

"I don't have time today."

Lin Xian waved his hand:
"I still have to go to Nangong's laboratory and explain some things to her."

Gao Yang said:
"Well, I don't feel like working anyway, so I'll go with you. We can go drink afterwards."

"Alright, alright."

……

Afterwards, the two of them went out and set off for the laboratory where Nangong Mengjie was.

"Nangong Mengjie is a good name."

Gao Yang picked his nose in the business car:
"I haven't heard you mention it before. Are you a member of the Longke Academy?"

“Not an academician.”

Lin Xian explained:
"She's very young. She should be studying for a doctorate at the Dragon Science Institute... or she's already graduated with a doctorate? I can't remember exactly, but she was in charge of the research on micro-nuclear batteries."

"Is she going to hibernate too?"

"She certainly doesn't."

Lin Xian shook his head:
"There are still many aspects of micro-nuclear batteries that need to be broken through, including large-scale development, marketization, etc. ... I can't do without her in this regard. Besides, Nangong and I are not very familiar with each other, we only have a scientific research relationship."

"A doctor from the Dragon Academy..."

Gao Yang smacked his lips:
"I've never met someone with such a high level of education. Tell me, do these people have two heads? How did they get such high scores?"

"Just count for a while."

As he spoke, the car stopped, Lin Xian and Gao Yang got out and walked into the laboratory.

Nangong was a little busy today, so Lin Xian went directly to the laboratory to find her.

Through the outer glass.

Lin Xian pointed his finger at Gao Yang:
"Look, the man wearing glasses and a white coat is Nangong."

Woo!!!!
Loud whistle!

Two balls of hot steam spewed out of Gao Yang's nostrils. He widened his eyes and looked at the graceful figure busy at the laboratory table!
Baby face! Big breasts! Girl with glasses!
Smart! Wisdom! Top student!
Swah——

Gao Yang waved his hand, drew his sword and stood in front of Lin Xian:
"Brother, I'm in love."

"what?"

Lin Xian was puzzled:

"Are you funny?"

"No no no..."

Gao Yang shook his head like a rattle:
"I have never met such a charming person in my life! She is the perfect match for my fantasy of a lover!"

"Wait for me here. I'll show my charm first. I don't want the relationship between Nangong and me to be affected by your relationship as a superior or a subordinate. That would make me feel that her feelings for me are not pure."

"No."

Lin Xian grabbed Gao Yang:

"Have you already thought about where to buy a school district house? And you're still worried that the other person doesn't have pure feelings for you... Are you sure you're okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm sober."

Gao Yang hooked his index finger into the collar of his shirt and unbuttoned the top two buttons, revealing his fat chest:
"I'm going in. Wait for my good news."

"Hey, hey, hey, are you still hibernating?" Lin Xian shouted.

"Of course I have to hibernate!"

Gao Yang turned around, wiped his nose handsomely, and snorted:
"Don't worry, with my [Gold Medal Sales] charm, I can definitely drag Meng Jie to hibernate with me!"

After that, he strode away.

"..."

Lin Xian watched him leave in silence:

"ill."

I forgot to read the "Hibernation Manual" more. Is it possible to hibernate if you have a brain disease?

Ok?
suddenly.

Lin Xian opened his eyes wide and thought of his previous guess.

He was wondering...

Is it possible that Emperor Gaowen, the pinnacle of human genius, is the descendant of Gao Yang?

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I rejected it immediately.

Because he believed that Gao Yang's mission in the human world was to pollute the gene pool and he would never be able to give birth to a human light like Gawain.

but.

in case.

What about having a genetically modified partner?

Just like the scene in front of us now.

Could it be...

Did Gao Yang really win the heart of Nangong Mengjie and achieve his goal, and then, regardless of whether he hibernated or not, he successfully gave birth to Emperor Gao Wen among his descendants?
"No, it can't be."

Lin Xian was really finding it unbelievable.

Is it...

This is once again...

A [closed loop of history] with a predetermined destiny?
boom!
The laboratory door was knocked open.

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

Gao Yang ran out wailing and yelled at Lin Xian:

"This is so embarrassing! Damn it! This is so embarrassing! Let's go! I can't stay here for even a second! This world can no longer accommodate a clown like me! I want to sleep in the hibernation cabin right now!"

"what?"

Lin Xian looked at Gao Yang:

"It's just a rejection. That's not serious. Haven't you been rejected enough times over the years? Or rather... have you ever succeeded?"

"Goodbye! I am so disappointed with this era! So disappointed!"

Gao Yang ran away howling like a ghost.

I don’t know what happened to make him so upset.

Lin Xian looked at the empty air and sighed:

"I really overestimated you. I can only say that you are worthy of your steady performance."

That moment just now.

Lin Xian really thought that perhaps Gao Yang was also involved in the future historical cycle of mankind and laid the foundation for the birth of Emperor Gao Wen.

As a result, he didn't dare let Gao Yang sleep in the hibernation cabin.

If it was because I forced Gao Yang into hibernation that Emperor Gawain was not born in the future... that would be a huge loss for human civilization.

Fortunately.

Gao Yang will never disappoint you.

Judging from his desperate crying in the storm, there was no way he and Nangong would be able to keep the red string together.

Then he opened the door, entered the laboratory, and greeted Nangong.

Nangong raised his head and smiled at Lin Xian:
"That person just now...is your friend?"

"That's it."

Lin Xian didn't know what kind of offense Gao Yang had done, so he left room for withdrawal:
"What happened? What happened?"

puff-

Nangong Le laughed out loud:

"He wanted to invite me to dinner and a movie that night, so I pulled this out of my pocket and showed it to him."

As he spoke, Nangong reached into his pocket again and took out a silver ring.

That is... a couple's ring.

Lin Xian suddenly realized:

“You’re married!”

"Correct."

Nangong smiled happily:
"I got married very early, in college."

"Why so early?"

Lin Xian was a little curious:

"It's true that getting married early in college is pretty early. Are you... a classmate?"

"Of course not."

Nangong admired the ring again and put it back into his pocket:
"If they are classmates, who would get married in school?"

"My husband is my childhood sweetheart. We grew up together, but he is a few years older than me. He has been my neighbor's older brother since childhood."

"He joined the army when he was in college and is now a special border soldier. We hardly see each other on weekdays, only once a year. Sometimes we may not see each other even once a year when we are on a mission or in special circumstances."

"Oh, a military wife."

Lin Xian was in awe.

Because he had never heard Nangong mention it, and Nangong had always lived in the unit, Lin Xian really didn't guess that she was married.

In addition, her baby-faced appearance makes it easy for people to overlook her age.

“We got the certificate when I was studying for my master’s degree.”

Nangong said:

"Because his vacation was very short, and he finally came back, but he didn't have time to hold a wedding, so he left in a hurry."

"Why don't you wait until you are discharged from the army or demobilized before getting married?"

Lin Xian asked:

"Is it because he's getting old? In a hurry to get married?"

"Do not."

Nangong smiled and shook his head:
"It's my idea to get a marriage certificate."

Lin Xian was a little confused.

During the master's degree period, that is, when he was twenty-three or twenty-four years old, was it necessary for Nangong to be so anxious?

"What do you think?" Lin Xian continued to ask.

"I want to reassure him."

Nangong replied:

"They are guarding the motherland at the border. It is very dangerous and hard. I like him very much. I want to give him peace of mind, reassurance and support."

"He guards the border for our safety. I like him, so I should do my best to give him what I can, right? So I am willing to marry him."

Lin Xian nodded:
"Thank you for your contribution to the country and the people. I have always respected soldiers and their families. Don't worry, I will kick my friend twice when I get back and make him look in the mirror to see what kind of toad he is."

Nangong was amused:
"That's not necessary. It's because I can't wear rings or jewelry in the lab. Otherwise, if I put the ring on my finger, such an embarrassing thing wouldn't happen."

In the past, apart from work, I had never chatted with Nangong much.

did not expect.

She is a girl with such a good personality.

The conversation started, and Lin Xian started chatting casually:

"You and your husband don't usually see each other for a year or two... Do you miss him?"

"Of course I do."

Nangong smiled and said:

"It's not just that we can't meet, because he has to carry out missions frequently and there are confidentiality restrictions, so we rarely have the opportunity to chat online."

"So many people didn't know I was married before, because they saw that I didn't date, didn't make phone calls, didn't chat, and ate and lived at work. But in fact, it was just because my husband was in the army and was not around, so I didn't have the opportunity to have such a loving relationship."

Lin Xian pursed his lips.

Hesitant to speak.

This situation is just like that moment.

Finally, I asked:

“Do you feel lonely?”

"Well...how should I put it..."

Nangong thought for a moment and continued:

"Yes and no."

“[Although I can’t see him, I know he is protecting us and this land.]”

"He once had a good opportunity to transfer back to civilian work, but he wanted to stay there because the place he was in was not very stable. He said he wanted to stay and asked for my advice."

"Of course I support him. I say you can stay as long as you want. If you protect the motherland, you are protecting me. No matter when you come back, I will always be your wife and your home."

Lin Xian was deeply moved.

I remember the introduction that the president of Longke Institute once gave me:
"I heard from the dean that your father and grandfather were both soldiers, and they had made great military achievements."

"Yes."

Nangong nodded:
"This is something I am very proud of, including the fact that I was admitted to the National University of Defense Technology and married a soldier. These are things I should be proud of for the rest of my life."

Lin Xian smiled:
"Actually, I'm relieved to hear you say that. There was a couple in my hometown who didn't agree with their daughter marrying a soldier, so they forcibly broke up the couple and arranged for them to marry a local man who worked there."

“That’s understandable.”

Nangong leaned on the laboratory table and looked out the window:

"Not everyone in this world has such a high level of ideological awareness, and at the same time, we cannot force everyone to have such awareness."

"But... [There must be someone with this awareness and this spirit of sacrifice in order to protect our current life.]"

"Take my husband and I for example. We certainly want to live together every day and go to the amusement park with our children in hand. But if everyone thinks this way, considers the pros and cons, and takes a stable and easy job... who will protect our motherland?"

She closed her eyes and lowered her head:
"My grandfather actually went to the battlefield. He told me that my father and my aunt were very young and crying for food. My aunt hadn't even been weaned yet, but he was reluctant to leave. He didn't want to leave the children either."

"But my grandmother scolded my grandfather at the time. She said, which soldier doesn't have children and a wife? Many people's three generations of grandparents and grandchildren died on the battlefield. Isn't it to create a better life for future generations?"

"She questioned my grandfather at the time—"

"[If this war leads to the destruction of the country and the family just because you are one person short of one gun or one bullet, will you regret it?"

"It was this sentence that made my grandfather determined to leave home and join the army. My grandmother later told us that she was mentally prepared for my grandfather not to come back. Even though she was a weak woman, she insisted on raising my father and aunt... If my grandfather's generation couldn't finish this battle, then let my father continue to fight. If my father couldn't finish the battle, then let our generation continue to fight."

Listening to Nangong’s story.

Lin Xian inexplicably recalled the movie "Changjin Lake" that he had watched before, in which the great leader said touching words -

"[We have fought all the battles that needed to be fought, so our descendants won't have to fight any more.]"

This.

It is the inheritance of faith.

“Thank you so much, there are people like you in this era.”

Lin Xian looked at Nangong and said sincerely:
"This is the hope of a nation and the spirit in its bones."

"No need to thank us, Lin Xian."

Nangong looked at him and smiled:
"There are many, many people like this. This is the Dragon Country that we are proud of and love... Whether in the news or in life, we can always see many people who are brave, fearless, and self-sacrificing. We are all the same."

"So... we are not special and do not need special thanks."

Subsequently.

Lin Xian explained some follow-up matters to Nangong, left Zhao Yingjun's contact information, and said that he would let Brother Wang take her to meet Yingjun later, and she would be the one to connect with the laboratory on his behalf in the future.

After saying that, Lin Xian left the laboratory.

Found Gao Yang and kicked him four more times:

"What kind of toad are you?"

……

The last few days.

Lin Xian also brought his parents to the imperial capital to spend their final time together with Zhao Yingjun's family.

On the afternoon of April 4, Lin Xian was packing his things.

thump.

Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard in the living room.

Lin Xian hurried over and found that Zhao Yingjun was sitting on the sofa in a strange way.

"Yingjun!"

He ran over quickly:

"What's wrong!"

"quick……"

Zhao Yingjun bit her lip and grabbed his arm:
"Hurry... hurry to the hospital... my water... my water broke..."

Lin Xian looked down.

really.

This is a sign of giving birth!

Yu Xi, it’s time to come out early!
Immediately, drive to the hospital booked in advance.

Lin Xian stayed outside the delivery room, pacing anxiously, waiting.

Stop the nurse who came out:

"How about it?"

The nurse smiled:
"Sir, don't be so nervous. Everything is normal. The cervix is now three fingers dilated. I've received a painkiller injection. The fetal position is correct and the fetal heart rate is normal. We are monitoring it... Don't worry."

"well."

Lin Xian was still a little flustered.

Of course, the nurses were used to this kind of thing, but it was the first time that Lin Xian faced... the fact that his daughter was born and he was going to officially become a father.

What is even more precious is...

Everything was normal at first. There was no sign of labor in the morning. Xiao Yuxi was very quiet during the day and happy at night. Unexpectedly, she was very noisy during the day and could not help but be born early!
"Lin Xian!"

Gao Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran over in a hurry.

After listening to Lin Xian’s description.

Laughing loudly:

"Hahahaha! Lin Xian...your daughter knows you're leaving, so she came to see you in advance!"

An hour later, Angelica arrived.

She told Lin Xian that Jask had already hibernated in his own secret hibernation base and left SPACE-T to her.

"I'm here to see you off today."

She looked at Lin Xian:

"This is the last time we meet. I thought we would be at the hibernation base of the Dragon Academy, but I didn't expect..."

She raised her head, looked at the patient number display outside the delivery room, and smiled slightly:
"I didn't expect to see you outside the delivery room."

"It's great, Lin Xian... Being able to witness the birth of a life and see my daughter can make up for the regret."

"Garbage! Garbage! Found garbage!"

Everyone turned their heads.

I found out it was Brother Wang, running towards me with a robot vacuum cleaner in his arms:

"Boss Zhao...Boss Zhao specifically told me to bring this robot vacuum cleaner from home to the hospital... Oh, it's true, this thing is too noisy, the head nurse almost kicked me out."

"Lin Xian, what brand of sweeping robot did you buy? Why is it shouting all the time? It's like it's rushing me. I almost fell down several times on the way."

He bent down.

Put the robot vacuum cleaner VV on the ground. Swish——

The sweeping robot VV slid and drifted, and came to the delivery room and bumped into the door, but found that it couldn't open it... Then it came back and bumped into Lin Xian's ankle:
"Garbage! Garbage! Found garbage!"

"Don't hit me, I'm anxious too."

Lin Xian picked up the sweeping robot VV and patted his head:

"This is the delivery room, keep your voice down or the head nurse will throw you out."

The waiting process was extremely anxious and long.

Lin Xian felt that every day was like a year, as if the hands of his watch were stuck with glue and every vibration was so strenuous.

finally--

“Ah~~~~~~~~”

A clear and loud cry came from the door.

Gao Yang jumped up excitedly, laughed and hugged Lin Xian:

"It's born! It's born! Lin Xian! It's born!"

"Garbage! Garbage! Garbage found!" The sweeping robot VV also kept hitting Lin Xian's ankle.

Angelica breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Brother Wang was the calmest. He smiled and told Lin Xian that after the doctor had processed the situation, wiped off the vernix caseosa, and did some conditioned reflex tests, he could go in to see the baby.

Shortly after.

The door of the delivery room opened, and Lin Xian and his companions walked into the room quickly and lightly. Their footsteps were chaotic, causing the sweeping robot VV to bump into things everywhere and be unable to squeeze in. It was so anxious that it kept shouting "trash" and spinning in circles.

"Yingjun."

Lin Xian entered the room first and found Zhao Yingjun looking a little tired but half lying on the bed with a slight smile on her face.

On the small bed next to it, there was a small swaddling cloth, inside which... was a little one, who was quietly looking around with eyes open and curiosity.

"The doctor said that it's developing really well."

Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian and smiled:
"Weighing 6.7 jin, she's considered a big baby girl. Look, her eyes are open, and she's purring cleverly, so adorable... Come on, Lin Xian, hug Yu Xi."

this moment.

Lin Xian slowly walked towards the crib where the swaddling clothes were placed.

He felt very holy.

It’s like meeting a god covered in a layer of golden light.

That's my daughter.

Yu Xi.

Lin Yuxi.

He bent down and adjusted his posture several times... The cute little baby girl in front of him looked like she was made of cotton or seaweed, and he didn't dare to touch her at all.

Fortunately, I had held Li Fengyu in my dream before and had been guided by Li Ningning, so I had some experience.

It took a lot of effort.

Lin Xiancai held the petite body in his arms like a cannonball, looking at her fair and smooth face, small nose and mouth, ears close to her hair, and big dark and clever eyes:
"Yu Xi..."

Lin Xian's voice suddenly became hoarse.

I wanted to hug her tighter, but I didn't dare to use any strength for fear of hurting her.

this moment.

He truly understood what it meant to have a jewel in the palm of one's hand.

What does it mean to be afraid of dropping something when holding it in your hand, and afraid of it melting when holding it in your mouth?

Too delicate.

Everything is so fragile that I can't bear to touch it.

How could there be such a delicate, lovely and miraculous creature in this world?
This is a life.

A person.

A living person who was lost and found.

"Yu Xi."

Lin Xian called her name softly again.

Feel……

It seemed as if something warm and tough flowed into Lin Xian's body through the two people's gazes.

Let him be firm, let him be resolute.

At this time.

Angelica walked into the ward, bypassed Lin Xian who was fully devoted to the treatment, came to Zhao Yingjun's side, and asked with concern:

"How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

After saying that, she looked at Lin Xian:

"That's what happens when you first become a father. You're so busy looking after your daughter that you ignore the person who did the most good."

however……

Zhao Yingjun shook his head:

"It's ok."

She looked at the father and daughter she met for the first time with satisfaction and smiled slightly:
"Yu Xi, she ran out so early just to see her father."

It seemed like I heard my mother's voice.

Little Yuxi in the cradle showed some reaction.

Wink.

Head tilted to the side.

Lin Xian held her and sat next to Zhao Yingjun, allowing Zhao Yingjun to observe the miracle of life with him.

Zhao Yingjun glanced at Xiao Yuxi.

He glanced at Lin Xian again and found that his expression had changed:

"I thought that after you saw Yu Xi today, your eyes would become hesitant, but I didn't expect... to become more determined."

Lin Xian nodded:
“I am really glad now.”

"What are you thankful for?" Zhao Yingjun asked.

Lin Xian looked at Yu Xi closing her eyes as if she was going to sleep, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"【I am very glad that if there is a battle that must be fought, it is me, not Yu Xi, who will go to the battlefield.】"

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yingjun:
"Before coming to the capital a few days ago, I chatted with Nangong Mengjie. She told me about her husband, her father, her grandparents..."

"Now that I think about it, I'm actually not special. Decades ago, in this land of Longguo, there were thousands of predecessors who served as role models and fought bravely to protect our great country."

“How many people have left their families, hometowns, parents, wives and children to fight for our current lives and a better future. I am just a successor who follows in their footsteps.”

"Yingjun, just like what our great leader said, this is a war that mankind will have to fight sooner or later. If I don't fight, Yuxi will have to fight. If Yuxi doesn't fight, Yuxi's children will have to fight. This will last until our grandchildren, until 600 years later, when those children will have to face it."

"Yu Xi will have children, and her children will have children, and her children's children will have children... Therefore, the fate of human extinction and world destruction 600 years from now will ultimately fall on our children."

"I am extremely grateful now that I have the ability to change everything and have the hope of saving everything. I dare not imagine, and I am reluctant... You see, Yu Xi is so small and so delicate. As her father, how can I bear to let her endure all this?"

Zhao Yingjun raised his hand.

Touching the back of Lin Xian's head, he rubbed it:
"This is the inheritance of the Dragon Nation spirit. During the revolutionary period, countless fathers and children fought bravely... Just like you said, the great leader's son died on the battlefield."

"If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't do this, and they wouldn't understand it at all, that's because—"

"【They are not great leaders, so they naturally cannot understand.】"

She blinked and smiled:
"Do you remember what Huang Que once said to you? She said that she would accompany you in your ordinary life, teach you to be excellent, wait for you to mature, and then... watch you slowly become great."

"Perhaps she didn't have time to see this scene, but I saw it for her now... Lin Xian, there must be many people who don't understand your choice, but this kind of misunderstanding is also the criticism that you must endure as a leader."

At this time, Gao Yang came from behind with his lips pursed:

"Lin Xian, the time has come. We... should leave. To be on the safe side, we must reach the Dragon Academy's hibernation base in advance."

……

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun didn't move, and they didn't make a move.

finally.

Zhao Yingjun forced himself to stand up and gently hugged Lin Xian and Yu Xi together:
"Look forward."

She closed her eyes and whispered:

“Always look forward.”

"Believe me, and believe in yourself, Lin Xian, always remember what Huang Que said to you—"

"【If it's right, keep doing it. If it's wrong, keep doing it."

"Before a matter is truly concluded, none of us know what is right and what is wrong. In this case... let's persevere! With everyone's expectations and trust, persevere and keep going!"

Lin Xian nodded.

He looked at Yu Xi in his arms one last time and said softly:
"Yu Xi... Dad takes back what he said before. You don't have to learn a musical instrument, become elegant, or become well-behaved."

"If you want to learn Taekwondo, go ahead. Learn whatever you want to learn... You can become stronger and protect mom... for dad."

feet.

The sweeping robot VV came over and stuck to Lin Xian's ankle.

In a voice as small as ever, he said:
"Garbage...Garbage...Found garbage..."

Lin Xian noticed it.

Also smiled slightly:
"The same goes for you, VV. We are all VVs. We must remember our identities and our responsibilities... Please protect Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi while I'm away."

Gao Yang pulled Lin Xian's arm:

"Lin Xian, it's really time to go."

Lin Xian nodded.

Put little Yuxi back into the crib.

Then he walked to the door of the ward with Gao Yang.

But I feel...

This last step is like an invisible wall that is difficult to step over.

The same goes for Gao Yang.

He turned around and looked at Zhao Yingjun, Yu Xi, and Angelica in the ward. His nose felt sore and his vision became blurry in an instant:

"We will miss you."

He couldn't hold it in any longer and frantically wiped his eyes with his oversized sleeves.

"Don't be so sad, Gao Yang."

Zhao Yingjun looked at the two people who stopped at the door:
"We are just in different times, but we are doing the same cause, fighting for the future of mankind. We are the same, we have never really separated."

"So, don't miss us—"

Her final look was firm and powerful:
“You are us.”

……

Dragon Science Institute, secret hibernation base.

Except for Du Yao, Gao Yang and Lin Xian, everyone else had already fallen asleep in the hibernation cabin.

The three of them changed into their hibernation clothes and glanced at the clock on the wall.

2025年4月16日，23：21。

"lets go."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes:

"To the future."

呲…………

Lying in the hibernation chamber, Lin Xian closed his eyes and felt the cold hibernation chamber filling fluid gradually flowing over his body.

The fluid enters the lung cavity, which is very uncomfortable and stimulates tears.

But they soon adapt, and the oxygen-rich content inside begins to replace air and exchange with the alveoli.

The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

Became unable to open.

Became trance-like.

Become cold.

become...

Lost consciousness.

……

It is scorching hot under the Statue of Liberty at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York, USA.

A thin, blond man trembled as he walked to the pedestal and raised his head:

"equality……"

He looked up at the torch in the hand of the Statue of Liberty and whispered:

“Give the world the most absolute equality.”

"Human death, a hundred years of life, is equal; virus death, 194 years of time, is also equal."

“This is the most original equality in the universe, the most balanced state, the most harmonious equality.”

……

Switzerland, Mount Pilatus, secret base.

A white-haired old man lay in the hibernation cabin.

The surrounding hafnium alloy robots began to work busily, allowing the old man to enter hibernation.

immediately.

The lights in the base kept turning off.

Finally, even the gaze of the hafnium alloy robot dimmed, and everything returned to calm, buried under the snow-capped mountains.

……

Somewhere in the world, deeper underground.

A lonely old man wearing an Einstein mask is alone in an empty underground space.

Here, the decoration looks like an old and simple hall.

No dust.

But again, there were no signs of any activity.

On the stepped platform, there was a black wooden high-backed chair, and an old man wearing a mask was sitting quietly on it.

Below the platform, there are four chairs arranged on both sides.

Empty.

Just like the entire underground space.

Empty.

Swinging.

……

time flies.

More than two hundred years have passed.

Two hundred years sounds like a long time.

But the earth has only rotated 7 times and only orbited the sun 200 times.

It takes 2.5 million years for the sun to orbit the Milky Way. If you stand at the center of the Milky Way and look at the sun over the past 200 years, you will see that it is almost motionless.

The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy will collide in 40 billion years.

It would surely be a very horrific and heroic scene.

pity……

200 years have passed, and to the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, they are still so far away, so far away, and out of reach.

200 years is long, yet short.

On the cosmic time scale, this is just a blink of an eye; even... not even a blink of an eye.

……

September 2234, 9, Dragon Country’s secret hibernation base.

Inside the hibernation cabin.

A man opened his eyes.

here……

where is it?

Can't move, can't see clearly, can't be conscious.

One could only vaguely see two busy figures outside the blurry glass.

Gradually, hearing returned.

"Is it almost done? Let's open it soon. He's very strong. Give him some time to recover. We won't be able to hold him down in a while."

This is the voice of a loud man.

"Why are you in such a hurry..."

It was another man's voice, calm and steady:
"These hibernation awakening procedures are all set up. This has been taken into consideration long ago. The timing is controlled just right, so that their bodies can move just enough but their muscles have not recovered their strength."

suddenly.

Patterns and sounds began to emerge on the glass screen.

Guide him to move his eyes and body step by step.

at last……

The man in the hibernation chamber finished all the tests and opened the hatch. He slowly sat up and looked at the two strangers in front of him:

"Where...are you?"

He blinked.
"who am I?"

"Oh, you'll know in a minute!"

The loud-voiced man rushed over and forcibly pulled him towards the restraint chair:

"Wait, let me go."

He was extremely alert and tried to break free, but... he just couldn't muster any strength:

"Let me go, let me go..."

He had no chance to struggle at all and was pressed into the restraint chair and belted.

Followed.

A terrifying helmet that looked like an octopus or tentacle was forced onto the head, tightening it tightly.

The man opened his eyes wide:

"What are you going to do——Ah!!!"

pain!
Severe pain!

It's like countless needles piercing into the scalp, deep into the brain, and reaching the spinal cord!
The man trembled all over and rolled his eyes.

In my mind, countless images flashed by like a revolving lantern.

[The lollipop in the mouth, the Rhine cat on the shelf, the body that was knocked away at 00:42, looking back at the dazzling cyber city, the black hand shadow on the moon, the white jade statue of the sky city, the girl jumping from the space plane, the blue stardust dissipating in the arms, the sparks from the dagger of the blue-eyed girl, the head flying in the sky, the old man wearing the Einstein mask, the blue snow covering the city, the fragile smile in the swaddling clothes, the firm eyes of the woman on the hospital bed... "Look forward."]

"what!"

Lin Xian shouted and regained consciousness, and the tingling sensation from the electric current disappeared.

"Fuck."

He wanted to scratch his hair, but found that his hands and feet were bound:
"This thing is too powerful! Don't you consider improving it? What's the difference between this and a torture device?"

He looked at the two people in front of him who were laughing.

Gao Yang, still the same as before.

Liu Feng was obviously older and had a lot of white hair; but that was probably due to overwork. As for age... Liu Feng now looked to be around 35 years old.

"You're still laughing. Hurry and untie me."

He apologized to Maimai in his heart.

I really didn't expect this cranial electric shock helmet to be so powerful... Now when I think back to the feeling just now, I'm still scared.

Liu Feng and Gao Yang stepped forward and untied Lin Xian.

He stood up.

He stretched his wrists and ankles and looked at the two of them:

"What year is it? How is the world going?"

Gao Yang came over and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:

"Let's go, let's talk while we're in the car."

Lin Xian tilted his head in confusion:
"Why go out? Can't we talk here?"

Gao Yang pulled him out:

"Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi left a gift for you... Don't you want to go and see it now?"
