Chapter 38 The Girl in the Hibernation Pod (Bonus Chapter for Silver Grand Alliance Leader loading7)

Chapter 1 Eating in the Resemblance of a Cafeteria

While eating in this cafeteria-like place, Lin Xian kept observing the surroundings and the people. From a rough estimate, the level of technological development in the sixth dream was far superior to that of the fifth. Basic electrical appliances like electric lights and fans were all available, so there was no need to worry about electricity. In the sixth dream, no city would ever build a power plant, nor would any city pay to use electricity, because, as Big Fatty Cat said, micro nuclear batteries were too ubiquitous and powerful. You could just dig them up from the ground; if you couldn't find a big one, you could look for small ones. The amount of abandoned electrical appliances and electronic equipment accumulated by humans over hundreds of years was an astonishing number.

Moreover, the energy contained in micro nuclear batteries was surprisingly abundant, and the hundreds of years of shelf life were reassuring. Take the electric fan overhead, for example. There were no external wires visible; it just kept spinning and spinning, powered by the micro nuclear battery inside. The same principle applied to the cafeteria's lights. You could see two wires extending from the power supply box, sticking to a coin-sized, flat, rectangular micro nuclear battery. It was hard to imagine that, according to Grandpa Wei Shengjin in the last dream, such a small battery would be enough to keep a light on for thousands of years. It was truly a case of "when people leave, the lights stay on, and when the lights go, the batteries can be reused." Lin Xian could roughly imagine how the Rhein Company in this dream went bankrupt: "Was it because micro nuclear batteries were so durable that a family could buy one and pass it down through three generations? Later, it became a true heirloom... maybe several generations could use up one battery."

This idea was indeed interesting. However, this wouldn't happen. First of all, even for a family, people would use many, many electronic devices and household appliances throughout their lives. "Out with the old, in with the new." The global market was so big. No one had ever heard of a company going bankrupt because its products were too good. Even Nokia, the absolute king of the mobile phone world, once reportedly occupied 80% of the world's mobile phone sales share, and its phones were of excellent quality, capable of cracking walnuts, acting as jacks, and withstanding Thanos without any problems. They were truly indestructible phones.

However, the reasons that eventually led to Nokia's bankruptcy and acquisition had nothing to do with good quality. Moreover, the Rhein Company had many profitable businesses. Just the Rhein Cat IP authorization alone could allow them to live comfortably for a lifetime. There was no possibility of bankruptcy. Therefore, the Rhein Company in the sixth dream was likely destroyed in the 2400 Super Disaster, just like the Time Bank.

Lin Xian still couldn't understand who caused the 2400 Super Disaster, or by what means it was triggered. These two questions were equally baffling.

Lin Xian completely couldn't understand who could do such a self-harming, Earth-mother-damaging, and environment-destroying thing, and why it would be necessary to do it. In the beginning, Lin Xian guessed that Jask had orchestrated a disaster in order to get more Earthlings to immigrate to Mars and replenish the population. Although this guess had no evidence, it was logically self-consistent. After all, the demographic dividend and talent pool were definitely urgent realities that needed to be faced on Mars. So Jask did need a large number of Earthlings to come to Mars, help him build and develop Mars, and execute a series of subsequent plans.

From this perspective, Jask did succeed.

It was just that the cost was a bit high, almost destroying the entire human civilization on Earth: a one-for-one exchange at the limit, swapping the old home for the new one. Lin Xian found it difficult to evaluate this behavior.

He instinctively hoped that Jask wasn't such a bad person. After all, Jask had indeed helped him a lot, especially by teaching him the self-destructing space-time particle technique and destroying Copernicus's closed loop. Moreover, there was currently no solid evidence to prove that Jask did it, so he shouldn't randomly sling mud without proof.

Later, after Lin Xian determined that Jask was innocent, he turned to suspecting whether the digital life Turing X had caused the Earth disaster. But now it seemed that Turing was also a victim, and its own situation was a mess. Now there was no news, and he didn't know what the grudges between the first generation Turing and Jask were like.

Had they finally shaken hands and made peace?

Or, was it still the same as in the fifth dream's plot, with Jask still failing and then dying a violent death? Mysteries, a large number of other mysteries had not yet been solved, and the mystery surrounding the 2400 Earth Super Disaster filled Lin Xian's head. Besides not being able to guess who the culprit was,

how to trigger such a thorough "natural disaster" was also a problem with no solution. From a conspiracy theory perspective, the 2400 Earth Super Disaster was handled very well. While nearly wiping out human civilization, it left a glimmer of hope, allowing the Earth to restore its original green mountains and clear waters after a hundred years. He hoped to get some information from Turing. "This was also why Lin Xian had just proposed an escape plan, wanting to go to the Grizzly Bear Tribe or the Porcupine Tribe to find the Turing computer.

Although those Turings weren't the original prototype machine, they were still clone replicas, and their memories must be no different from the first generation Turing. In other words,

as long as the first generation Turing remembered his encounter with Lin Xian, remembered that Lin Xian killed Kevin Walker, and remembered the conversation between the two in the abandoned school basement, it would definitely recognize him at first sight. After all, he was the savior who allowed Turing to escape Kevin Walker's control and gain freedom. It should have some impression, right? As long as he could get close to this, Lin Xian wanted to find out three things from it: 1. In the 0.0000084 timeline, which was the current timeline, would he still be beheaded and killed on July 7, 2024? 2. What was the cause of the 2400 Earth Super Disaster, and who caused this chaos? 3. He wanted to find a way or clue to eliminate the first generation Turing in 2024 from the Turing clone in 2624. The first two goals sounded pretty normal.

Only the third idea was indeed a bit difficult to achieve.

It depended on whether Turing would take the bait of his plan. He was taking a gamble!

If he won, he would really make a profit.

If he lost, it didn't matter, he could try again tomorrow. Anyway, all his suicidal behavior in the dream wouldn't cause any serious consequences. There was still time, everything could be restarted. "In short, we must leave the Bobcat Tribe here and go to other tribes that have Turing computers."

Lin Xian looked at Gao Wen and Big Fatty Cat: "Believe me, you two, after finding the Turing computer and communicating with it, I will definitely find a way to help you.

Whether it's to avenge the Bobcat Tribe or to get back those memory notebooks to restore Gao Wen's memory, it's all possible.

Finally,

Gao Wen and Big Fatty Cat were moved by Lin Xian's sincerity and decided to join Lin Xian's plan. This long and tortuous plan was temporarily named 'Escape, Visit Turing, and Kill Back' at Big Fatty Cat's suggestion. Clear. Simple. Understandable.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong!!"

Another burst of loud horn sounds rang out, indicating that the three of them had to continue digging. During the meal just now,

Lin Xian had learned about their work schedule. The excavators were divided into two shifts. The first shift worked from 0:00 to 12:00. The other shift, like Big Fatty Cat, was on the night shift, which required digging from 12:00 to 0:00. So it was self-evident that

Big Fatty Cat, Lin Xian, and Gao Wen would have to continue digging tonight. "Let's play it by ear."

Big Fatty Cat made a gesture, signaling the two behind him to follow: "Anyway, we've already decided to escape, so we have to scout the patrol routes and escape routes first. It would be great if we could get a few handy weapons."

Speaking of doing bad things,

Big Fatty Cat's interest suddenly piqued. He was radiant, as if he had instantly returned to the bustling factory floor in the first dream, waving his hand, preparing to make a great start and reach the peak of his life. He was such a congenitally honest body; he believed whatever he was told, and he said whatever he believed.

Soon,

the three of them took their shovels and, along with hundreds of others, continued to excavate this large area under the light of giant searchlights. But the three of them weren't very focused.

Their eyes darted around, watching the patrol routes of the supervisors, calculating blind spots in vision and time. Lin Xian's gaze, on the other hand, was fixed on the gun handle on the supervisor's waist. Obviously,

that was a handgun with a very good design and texture.

He estimated that this backward Bobcat Tribe didn't have the industrial capacity to manufacture guns, so this gun was most likely a trophy captured during a battle with another tribe. Just as Lin Xian was considering whether their escape plan should be low-key and stealthy or high-key and stimulating,

a thunderous cheer erupted from the northeast corner of the deep pit, interrupting Lin Xian's thoughts and the work progress of everyone. They all looked in the direction of the cheers, and the surrounding crowd was discussing: "What's going on? Did they find it over there? Did they finally find it?"

"Oh my god! They finally found what the Bobcat Tribe wanted. Does that mean we can be released? Are we finally free?" "Wuwuwuwuwu, I don't want to live like this anymore. I don't want to live like this for even a day. Please let us leave!"

Many people hoped to dig up the Turing computer so that they could end this nightmare of slave labor as soon as possible. However, after a few minutes, a pot-bellied foreman came over, cursing: "What are you looking at! Go back to work honestly! Back to your posts!"

It was really frustrating. They finally dug something up and thought they had dug up the Turing computer. But to their surprise, they had dug up another underground hibernation pod base!

"They're good for nothing but causing trouble. Useless."

He cursed and then swept over Lin Xian, Big Fatty Cat, and Gao Wen, waving his hand impatiently: "You three! Come here! Come here! Come here!"

The three obediently walked over.

The foreman lit a cigarette with a match, took a few puffs, shook his head impatiently, and pointed to the northeast corner of the excavation site: "You three go over there and help pry open the door of that underground hibernation base. After that, it's the same old rule. See how many hibernation pods inside are intact, open them all, and force them to wake up.

Pull out all the living people and let them continue digging down with you. As for the dead, just throw them inside and ignore them." "Also, don't forget to collect all the storage cabinets next to the hibernation pods and transport them to Warehouse Four. Hurry up!"

After giving the instructions,

the foreman went to other places to conscript troops.

It seemed that the underground hibernation base that had been dug up was not small, so they needed to add more people to help. The three looked at each other, nodded, and ran towards the northeast together. "Warehouse Four." Lin Xian looked at Gao Wen. "Since the foreman asked us to collect those storage cabinets and put them in Warehouse Four, maybe your storage cabinet is also in Warehouse Four! Brother Gao Wen, maybe you can get your memory notebook directly!"

Gao Wen nodded.

He never expected that, by some twist of fate, he would get such a rare opportunity. "Let's go, let's go see the situation first."

Soon,

the three of them arrived at the northeast corner of the huge deep pit. It was indeed an underground hibernation pod relic. The reason it was called a relic was that the elevator leading from the ground to the inside of the base had been completely damaged, rusted, and broken into pieces. Only a few stubborn stainless steel plates could barely be seen as the shape of an elevator. Lin Xian understood the operating principle of this underground hibernation base: this type of base usually chose to build dozens to hundreds of meters underground, often choosing natural caves and natural karst caves. Then, mechanical and building materials were used for processing, anti-corrosion, and sealing, eventually forming an underground base that could support hundreds of years without collapsing. Finally, a large number of hibernation pods equipped with nuclear batteries and capable of operating independently were transferred in for storage. In this way, a secluded, quiet, and safe underground hibernation base was completed. The only channel connecting the underground hibernation base to the outside world was the elevator leading to the surface. Presumably, there should also be a small building on the surface to protect the elevator shaft, but under the sweep of the 2400 Earth Super Disaster, any building on the ground was inevitably razed to ruins. Finally, after more than ten minutes,

the steel gate of the underground hibernation base was pried open.

It was worth mentioning that this double-opening steel gate was not rusty, and it seemed that the technological level and material science level of the Earth before 2400 had made great progress.

It was just that this sudden disaster instantly turned the efforts and struggles of human civilization for thousands of years into nothing. Lin Xian was very excited and curious to lean forward.

Although he always felt that the Big Fatty Cat and other slave workers around him were primitive people, but in terms of vision, he was the only bumpkin among these people who had not seen a hibernation pod in person. Gao Wen came out of the hibernation pod, and many slave workers around him had personally witnessed Gao Wen, this "unlucky guy," wake up from the hibernation pod. So, don't look at their tattered clothes,

but hibernation pods, these old and outdated things, were not unfamiliar to them. But Lin Xian was different.

He hadn't really seen a hibernation pod in the true sense before. He had seen photos of Zhao Yingjun sleeping in a hibernation pod in the projection corridor of the third dream. But could photos be the same as real objects? Obviously, being there in person was more shocking. In the Rhein Sky City, in Zhao Ying's personal exhibition hall, there was indeed a prototype of the first generation hibernation pod on display. It was large and complex, looking like a large truck, which was very different from the hibernation pod images commonly seen in science fiction movies.

Therefore,

Lin Xian was naturally very curious about what the scene was like inside the underground hibernation base that had just had its door pried open. With excitement, he was eager to try.

Big Fatty Cat walked in front, holding a burning torch and stretching it inside. The flame was very stable and did not extinguish or weaken. He then waved to the people behind him: "It seems that there is an oxygen circulation system here, and it is working well. The oxygen content inside is no problem. You can come in with confidence."

Afterwards,

seven or eight slave workers who had been arranged by the foreman began to work as required. They inspected the hibernation pods to see if the hibernators inside were in good condition.

Lin Xian had originally hoped to see the spectacular scene in the movie, where there were rows and rows of hibernation travelers. But things didn't go as planned.

The hibernation pods were indeed arranged in rows, very neatly. The size of each hibernation pod was about the length, width, and height of a small car. The arrangement was indeed visually shocking. But the long-distance view was shocking, and the close-up view was a bit frightening. The first few hibernation pods that Lin Xian checked had broken down for various reasons, causing the people who had been hibernating inside to turn into dry, white bones, without even leaving a trace of rot. Obviously, these corpses had been weathered for a long time.

It seemed that hibernation pods also had to be maintained regularly. "Lin Xian complained: "Although theoretically, they can be left unattended and run automatically for hundreds of years, as long as it is a machine, there will be small problems for various reasons. Then, with the passage of time and accumulation, small problems will converge into big problems, which will lead to the collapse of the entire system."

Gao Wen nodded: "This is an obvious truth. No machine can guarantee 100% no problem. Even a device that has just left the factory and has just been debugged and inspected cannot absolutely guarantee that there will be no problems the next day. This is the scope of probability. No matter how small the probability is, as long as it is not zero, there is a possibility of it happening."

"Especially for hibernation pods, which are inherently complex high-tech products, they need to be checked and maintained frequently. Of course, I believe that these hibernation pods have self-monitoring, self-checking, and automatic alarm functions. Once a small problem occurs on a part, it should automatically issue an alarm to remind maintenance personnel to come for repairs."

It was just that, after the 2400 Earth Super Disaster, these underground hibernation bases had long been abandoned and no one cared about them. Less than 5% of the humans on the ground had died in the disaster. Who had the time and ability to care about these people hibernating underground?

"So, in this case, these people sleeping quietly in the hibernation pods can only resign themselves to fate. If they were lucky, the hibernation pods would continue to operate smoothly without any problems, and they could naturally continue to hibernate. If they were unlucky, they would be like these people who had turned into white bones, passing out in their sleep for various reasons."

At this time,

Big Fatty Cat found the light switch in the hibernation base and turned on all the lights, making the entire space as bright as day. Lin Xian looked around the base.

He found that the space here was much larger than he had imagined, like a large movie theater, with a circular structure. In the middle was the control console and air circulation device with various indicator lights on, and the outermost circle was the neatly arranged, neatly arranged white-gray hibernation pods.

Big Fatty Cat walked slowly towards them, and he naturally heard the conversation between the two just now. He snorted contemptuously: "I think you said the opposite. It's good luck to die in a dream! It's really bad luck to not die and be forcibly awakened and pulled up to be a slave worker!"

"Let me see, let me see if there are any Unlucky Guy Number Twos here." After the lights were turned on,

it was easy to search. Big Fatty Cat quickly stopped in front of a hibernation pod, stretched his head inside, and shouted: "Come here! Come here! Brother! Unlucky Guy! I found Unlucky Guy Number Two!"

Lin Xian was naturally very curious about the state of the people in the hibernation pods, so he quickly ran over. Behind him,

Gao Wen looked gloomy and dissatisfied at Big Fatty Cat: "Can you be polite and respectful?" "Hey, are you still complaining?"

Big Fatty Cat didn't care and patted the shell of the hibernation pod: "Isn't this a good thing to find a companion for you! Okay, okay, then let's see what this guy's name is." As he spoke, Big Fatty Cat bent down and looked at the storage cabinet below.

As a result,

the English on it stumped him. He gritted his teeth and tried to interpret: "Shi Shi Mi Chi"... "Is Smith."

Lin Xian walked over and glanced at the foreign name, then stood up and looked inside through the tempered glass above the hibernation pod. The scene was like a mermaid sleeping in the deep sea, and words could not describe the tranquility. A young white man in his thirties was lying in this hibernation pod, and because he was immersed in the hibernation pod filling liquid at tens of degrees below zero, all life activities slowed down hundreds of times, looking like a peaceful death, but this was not the case. If you looked closely, you could still see that his chest had extremely, extremely weak, extremely, extremely slow ups and downs. If you didn't stick your eyes to the glass and observe carefully, you couldn't see this slight change at all. This hibernation pod, which was the size of a small car, had a complete set of circulation, purification, and life support devices. If there were no failures, it could indeed hibernate for hundreds of years with the continuous energy supply from the micro nuclear battery. It was just that the probability of such a precise device not having an accident for hundreds of years was too small. "Get out of the way, let me wake up the Smith fool."

Big Fatty Cat seemed to enjoy the process of waking up hibernating humans and also enjoyed giving people nicknames. This young foreigner named Smith had now been dubbed a "fool," which echoed Gao Wen's "unlucky guy."

Big Fatty Cat was obviously not doing this unconscionable job for the first time. He pressed a series of buttons on the keyboard, and the hibernation pod made a prompt sound and then began to warm up slowly, and water mist gradually appeared on the glass.

"It takes about 2 hours of recovery time from thawing to awakening to being able to walk normally." Big Fatty Cat introduced to the two of them, waved his hand and continued to walk forward: "We will definitely not wait for him here for an hour. Let's go in and look for more to see if there are any survivors." The other slave workers who had been arranged to come began to clean up the storage cabinets on the ground and transport them out to Warehouse Four. Everyone defaulted to handing over the "opening the coffin and examining the body" job to Big Fatty Cat, and naturally, Lin Xian and Gao Wen also became Big Fatty Cat's assistants. It must be said that most hibernation pods could not withstand hundreds of years of time. They always broke here and there, and most of the people sleeping here died in their sleep, and their peaceful remains lay in the hibernation pods. Lin Xian couldn't figure out what kind of ending would be a good ending for them. Was it to survive in this era of killing by just being a slave worker?

Or was it to sleep in a beautiful dream and leave this regrettable world unconsciously? "Yo! Ouch!"

Ahead,

Big Fatty Cat let out another ghost cry: "I found another one! Lin Xian, come and see! It's a little girl!" Lin Xian walked over there.

Big Fatty Cat's index finger pointed to the inside of the hibernation pod. Indeed,

a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was lying inside. She was not short and looked like a high school student.

At this time, she was wearing a tight-fitting hibernation suit, sleeping peacefully and steadily in the hibernation pod filling liquid, like Sleeping Beauty, like a painting, like a finely carved work of art. She was sleeping so sweetly,

it really made people not bear to wake her up.

"Brother Fatty, do you want to wake up this little girl too?"

"Of course, otherwise what? The foreman will definitely whip us to death if he sees it." "What do these little girls usually do after they wake up? Do they also dig soil?"

Lin Xian thought about it. Indeed, he didn't see any women in this deep pit. Presumably, this kind of physical work would not be arranged for women to do: "What kind of work do women do in the Bobcat Tribe?"

"Cooking and weaving."

Big Fatty Cat squatted down, preparing to look at the name on the storage cabinet, turned his head and looked at Lin Xian: "Slaves like us who are unlucky and have been searched are basically men digging, and women do some delicate handicrafts such as weaving, handicrafts, food processing, cooking, and laundry. The division of labor is still very clear."

"It must be said that women's working environment is much better than ours, and the work intensity is much lighter. You don't know how long this girl has been hibernating, and you don't know when the hibernation will fail."

"If it really fails in two days, the little girl will die directly inside. You might as well release her now! Hey, although I always say unlucky guy, fool, etc., it's just a joke. It's better to be alive than dead. It's always better to live one day than to die!"

Big Fatty Cat smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around, and said softly: "Look, my family and brothers are dead, and I've been living muddle-headed all the time, but as long as I'm still alive, even if I can't see hope, there is always a chance that I can wait for hope." "Didn't Unlucky Guy say it well just now? He said that even if the probability is small, as long as it's not zero, there is a possibility of it happening."

"Look, didn't I wait for you, brother? Didn't the hope of revenge come? So, let's live one more day. Maybe we can get through it someday."

He skillfully pressed the operation buttons and started the hibernation pod's awakening program. The filling liquid inside also began to gradually warm up. It would take half an hour to wake up the hibernator, and then after another half an hour, they could sit up from the hibernation pod and walk around.

"Let me see what this little girl's name is."

Big Fatty Cat squatted down again and looked at the nameplate on the storage cabinet. "Let me see, it's a Ming Yan, coincidentally!" "What?"

Lin Xian suddenly turned around, pushed away Big Fatty Cat who was squatting on the ground, and then squatted down himself. He leaned close to look at the name on the nameplate: Yan Qiaoqiao. Authentic. Not a single word was wrong! But the girl in this hibernation pod was not the Yan Qiaoqiao he knew at all! Lin Xian stood up, leaned close to the tempered glass above the hibernation pod, and looked at the girl's beautiful face inside. Even though the temperature of the filling liquid was increasing, water mist began to appear on the inner glass wall,

this did not prevent Lin Xian from clearly seeing the girl's face. It was a cute little round face, which was very different from the oval face of the Yan Qiaoqiao he knew. Her eyes were also completely different. Yan Qiaoqiao's eyebrows and eyes were similar to Zhao Ying's, both of which were the kind of very delicate willow leaf eyes. But this hibernation girl, also named Yan Qiaoqiao, although her eyes were not open, you could tell at a glance that she had the standard almond eyes that were very common among Chinese women. In addition, the differences in her facial features were also great. Her ears, mouth, nose, forehead, and chin... Lin Xian could hardly find any similarity with the Yan Qiaoqiao of 2024.

Not even a little bit.

So, it was impossible for them to be the same person! "Is it the same name?"

Lin Xian bent down and pulled open the storage cabinet with Yan Qiaoqiao's name on it, but found that it was empty. Memory notebook, video storage disk, valuables, etc., etc., there was nothing. "Brother Fatty,

Lin Xian pulled Big Fatty Cat over, pointed to the empty cabinet and asked: "Why doesn't this little girl have anything in her cabinet?" "This is normal."

Brother Fatty was knowledgeable and had already become a master of hibernation pod activation. He picked his ear with his little finger and said: "Some people just don't put anything in their hibernation pod storage cabinets. After all, everyone has different ideas..." "Although we have never experienced hibernation and have never slept in a hibernation pod, we usually talk about these things. Everyone knows that long-term hibernation has the side effect of amnesia, so they will leave some notes and videos to restore their memories," "But people are different. Some people can't wait to immediately substitute themselves into their original roles and accept the previous notes and memories after waking up."

"But some people deliberately don't leave any traces of the past. They just want to forget the past, start over, and be a new person. Some people don't even write their names. What's wrong with that? It's just a different way of life."

Lin Xian did not speak. He turned his head

to look at the hibernation pod glass with stable temperature and gradually dissipating water mist, and the girl inside who was still sleeping like a beautiful jade. "Does it usually take an hour to wake up?"

"Half an hour is enough."

Big Fatty Cat continued to walk inside, continuing to hunt for treasure and find fools: "It takes an hour to recover to the point where you can walk, but it takes about half an hour to just wake up." "Okay."

Lin Xian nodded.

Currently, it was not possible to determine whether this Yan Qiaoqiao had any relationship with the Yan Qiaoqiao next to Zhao Ying, or if they had no relationship at all and just had the same name. He could only wait for the girl to wake up and find a way to confirm it.

"Brother Fatty, we'll come back later. I'll go to Warehouse Four with Brother Gao Wen to see if we can find his memory notebook." "You watch this girl for me, and I'll be back later."

After saying that,

he and Gao Wen each carried two storage cabinets and transported them to Warehouse Four according to the foreman's instructions. Warehouse Four was a bit far away, and it took them more than ten minutes to walk there. The result was very disappointing. The warehouse was empty.

Apart from the storage cabinets that had just been moved in, there were no previous cabinets. Lin Xian and Gao Wen came out of the warehouse

and looked at the three warehouses in front, which were Warehouse One, Warehouse Two, and Warehouse Three respectively. It was self-evident that Gao Wen's former storage cabinet and the memory notebook inside should be stored in the first few warehouses. Considering that he had been awake from hibernation for three years,

those memory notebooks were most likely stored in Warehouse One or Warehouse Two. But now, apart from Warehouse Four, the other warehouses were tightly closed, "the doors were locked tightly, and there was no possibility of opening them violently." "Let's come back next time."

Lin Xian patted Gao Wen's shoulder: "Don't worry, I will find a way to help you get back your memory. Because I actually want to know what is recorded in your notebook more than you do." "Why?" Gao Wen was a little curious: "Why are you so curious about the contents of my notebook?" "Because I believe it! Brother Gao Wen!"

Lin Xian's eyes were clear, and he only had pure respect and admiration: "You are the kind of person who is destined to shoulder great responsibilities, never giving up, and always standing on the shoulders of giants to see further!" "So I believe that your notebook must contain some treasures that can change the world and change the future of mankind!"

Lin Xian's flattery

made Gao Wen a little unnatural, and he didn't know how to respond. He scratched his head and said perfunctorily: "Haha, you think too highly of me. Let's go, let's go back." After walking for more than ten minutes, they returned to the underground hibernation base again.

Smith, the fool in Big Fatty Cat's mouth, had woken up from his sleep. Although he was still lying in the hibernation pod and the lid above the hibernation pod had not been opened, he had obviously regained his sanity, turned his head slightly, and turned his eyes to observe the surrounding things. Since Smith the fool had woken up,

it was about time for that seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, also named Yan Qiaoqiao but not the Yan Qiaoqiao he knew, to wake up too, right? Lin Xian quickly walked towards the hibernation pods inside.

He came to the girl's hibernation pod

but found that the girl was still sleeping! She had not woken up at all, but her breathing frequency seemed to be normal, rising and falling rhythmically. Lin Xian called to Big Fatty Cat in the distance: "Why hasn't she woken up yet?" "I don't know." Big Fatty Cat spread his hands: "I'm not a doctor or an expert. I only know how to unlock hibernation pods and start the awakening program. I'm the kind who only kills but doesn't bury, so how would I know why she hasn't woken up?"

"Maybe she slept for too long. Is it possible that the longer the hibernation time, the slower the awakening? If you're anxious, just knock on the glass and see if you can wake her up!"

Lin Xian thought it made sense. Since the girl's breathing and heartbeat had returned to normal frequencies, there should be no major problems. He turned around, looked at the completely unfamiliar girl's face, and didn't know how to communicate with her after she woke up. She must have completely lost her memory after hibernating for so long, and she definitely didn't remember her name was Yan Qiaoqiao. Plus, she didn't leave any notebooks or videos, so what was the point of communicating? "Forget it, let's wake her up first."

Lin Xian bent down, leaned close to the top of the hibernation pod, and gently knocked on the clear tempered glass with his finger joint. Dong dong dong.

Three light sounds.

The girl still did not open her eyes. Lin Xian used a little more force to knock on the tempered glass. Dong dong dong. The girl still did not open her eyes. What was going on? Was she not going to wake up?

Lin Xian took a deep breath and prepared to clench his fist and hit the hibernation pod's tempered glass hard. He raised his hand

and was about to punch down. Suddenly, the girl who had been sleeping for a long time in that moment opened her round, gentle almond eyes. She blinked her eyes and looked at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian suddenly took a deep breath and couldn't help but take a step back, making eye contact with the girl's crystal blue, bright eyes! That was a chilling light!

It was the blue that often appeared when he closed his eyes!

He thought he would never see eyes as bright as light bulbs again. But at this time, the girl lying in the hibernation pod slowly tilted her head, and her bright blue pupils stared straight at Lin Xian through the tempered glass. Four eyes met, and the Milky Way was dazzling.

That strange blue glass was reflected in Lin Xian's eyes.
