Chapter 1258: Chapter 62: We and You (Ten-Thousand-Word Chapter, Two-in-One)_6

This last step feels like an invisible wall, hard to overcome.

Gao Yang feels it too.

He turned around, looking at Zhao Yingjun, Yu Xi, Angelica in the hospital room, his nose tingled, and his vision suddenly blurred:

“We will miss you.”

He couldn’t hold back anymore, using his large sleeve to frantically wipe his eyes.

“Don’t be so sentimental, Gao Yang.”

Zhao Yingjun looked at the two standing at the door:

“We are just in different eras, yet doing the same work, fighting for the future of humanity. We are the same, we were never truly apart.”

“So, don’t miss us—”

Her final gaze was firm and powerful:

“You are us.”

…

Dragon Science Academy, Secret Hibernation Base.

Aside from Du Yao, Gao Yang, and Lin Xian, everyone else had long entered hibernation in the pods.

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

April 16, 2025, 23:21.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Xian squinted:

“Head to the future.”

Szzz…

Lying in the hibernation pod, Lin Xian closed his eyes, feeling the icy hibernation pod filling liquid gradually pour over his body.

The liquid entered his lungs, uncomfortable, it provoked tears.

But he quickly adapted, the oxygen-rich liquid began replacing air to exchange with the alveoli.

His eyelids grew heavier.

They became hard to open.

He grew dazed.

He felt cold.

He became…

Unconscious.

…

Mi Country, New York, Hudson River mouth, under the Statue of Liberty, in the blazing sun.

A thin, blond-haired man, trembling, walked to the base, looking up:

“Equality…”

He gazed at the torch in the hand of the Statue of Liberty, speaking softly:

“Return the world’s most absolute equality.”

“Human death, a hundred-year lifespan, is equal; virus death, 194 years, is also equal.”

“This is the universe’s most primal equality, the most balanced state, the most harmonious equality.”

…

Switzerland, Mount Pilatus, secret base.

An elderly man with white hair lay in the hibernation pod.

The surrounding hafnium alloy robots began to work, assisting the man’s entry into hibernation.

Soon.

The lights in the base continually shut off.

Eventually, even the gaze of the hafnium alloy robots dimmed, everything returning to calm, buried beneath the snowy mountains.

…

Somewhere in the world, deeper underground.

A lonely old man wearing an Einstein mask, alone, in an empty underground chamber.

Here, it’s decorated like an old, quaint auditorium.

No dust.

But likewise, there are no signs of activity.

On a raised platform, a black wooden high-backed chair, the masked old man quietly sits on it.

Beneath the platform, four chairs are placed on each side.

Empty.

Just like the entire underground space.

Empty.

Desolate.

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

Time flies.

Over two hundred years have passed.

Two hundred years sounds long.

But Earth has only rotated over 70,000 times, only orbited the sun over 200 times.

The time it takes for the sun to orbit the Milky Way Galaxy is 250 million years. If viewed from the center of the galaxy, the sun over these 200 years would appear almost motionless.

The Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy will collide in 4 billion years.

That will surely be a terrifying and magnificent scene.

Unfortunately…

Over 200 years have passed, and in the eyes of the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, they still seem so distant, so distant, unreachable.

200 years, very long, yet very short.

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

…

September 12, 2234, China Secret Hibernation Base

Inside the Hibernation Pod.

A man opened his eyes.

Here…

Where is this?

Unable to move, unclear vision, consciousness bewildered.

Can only vaguely see two busy figures outside the blurry glass.

Gradually, hearing returns.

“Is it about time? Let’s start early; his body is very strong. If you give him more time to recover, we won’t be able to hold him down later.”

This is the voice of a loud man.

“Why are you in such a hurry…”

Another man’s voice, calm and steady:

“These hibernation awakening procedures are all preset, this point has long been taken into account. The timing is just right, allowing their bodies to barely move, but remaining in a state where muscles have not regained strength.”

Suddenly.

Patterns and sounds started to emerge on the glass screen.

Guiding him to slowly move his eyeballs, and exercise his body.

Finally…

The man inside the Hibernation Pod completed all the tests. The pod cover opened, and he slowly sat up, looking at the two completely unfamiliar men in front of him:

“You… where is this?”

He blinked his eyes:

“Who am I?”

“Ah, you’ll know in a moment!”

The loud man rushed up, forcibly pulling him towards the restraint chair:

“Wait, let go of me.”

He was extremely wary, trying to break free, but… couldn’t summon any strength:

“Let go of me, let…”

He had no chance to struggle, was pinned onto the restraint chair, and fastened with a belt.

Then.

A helmet, like an octopus with tentacle-like arms, was forcibly strapped on his head, tightened firmly.

The man’s eyes widened:

“What are you going to do—ah!!!”

Pain!

Severe pain!

As if countless needles pierced the scalp, delving deep into the brain, reaching the spinal cord!

The man trembled all over, rolling his eyes upward.

Inside his brain, countless flashing images like a running lantern flashed by—

[A lollipop in the mouth, Rhein Cat on the shelf, a body being struck at 00:42, the dazzling Cyber City in retrospect, the black handprint on the moon, the White Jade Statue of Sky City, a girl leaping from a skyspace aircraft, the blue stardust dissolving in his embrace, the sparks flying from the blue-eyed girl’s dagger, the head soaring in the sky, the old man wearing an Einstein mask, the city blanketed in blue snow, the tender smiling face in a swaddle, the determined eyes of a woman on the sickbed…”Look forward.”]

“Ah!”

Dr. Lin Xian shouted, regaining consciousness, the tingling sensation of the electric current disappeared.

“Damn.”

He wanted to scratch his head, but discovered his hands and feet were restrained:

“This thing is too intense, consider improving it a bit? How is this different from a criminal detention?”

He looked at the two still laughing in front of him.

Gao Yang was just like before.

Liu Feng had visibly aged, sporting quite a few white hairs; but this seemed to be due to fatigue, as in terms of age… the current Liu Feng looks around 35 years old.

“Still laughing, hurry and untie me.”

He inwardly apologized to Maimai.

Never thought this Neural Electrocution Helmet was so powerful… recalling the feeling just now, still sends chills.

Liu Feng and Gao Yang approached and untied Lin Xian.

He stood up.

Moving his wrists and ankles, he looked at the two:

“What year is it now? How’s the world?”

Gao Yang came over, patting Lin Xian on the shoulder:

“Come on, let’s go out and talk while we ride.”

Lin Xian tilted his head in confusion:

“Go out for what? Can’t we talk here?”

Gao Yang chuckled softly:

“Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi left you a gift… don’t you want to go see it now?”
