Chapter 1468 Emergency Situation

It is inconvenient to cook at home, and it is inconvenient to expose Xiao Ai's existence. Although the food delivery service in this era is very convenient, I always feel that the packaged and delivered things are always less atmospheric.

At Director Li's suggestion, three old popsicles from the 21st century took a taxi to a small restaurant near Jinling University Town, ordered a table of good food and a case of beer, and sat at a seat by the window.

"... The owner of this store is also an old popsicle from the beginning of the 21st century. He woke up two years earlier than me. He was the one who pulled me into the frozen people mutual aid community. Now I am a volunteer He also introduced me to work."

After opening a bottle of cold beer, Director Li continued with a nostalgic smile.

"...I come here to eat a few times every week. The taste is still the same as it was a hundred years ago. It's quite nostalgic."

After opening a bottle of beer, Lu Zhou asked casually.

"Why did he come to this era?"

"Except for people like me and Wanpeng who took the mission to the future, the reason why other dormant people freeze themselves is mostly due to terminal illness," Director Li continued, "maybe it's cancer, he didn't say it, and I didn't either. Ask carefully, but after this era, his illness has been cured."

cancer?

Lu Zhou suddenly remembered an old friend.

And that old man was still his student.

I don't know if her illness was cured, or if she woke up at a certain point a hundred years ago, and lived a life that she never had before...

Just when Lu Zhou was distracted, a young clerk girl suddenly walked towards their table with a pot of steaming grilled fish.

"The boss asked me to bring this pot of grilled fish to you." Looking at Lu Zhou who was sitting by the window, the little girl smiled shyly and continued, "He asked me to give you Say thank you... Thanks to your kindness, he was able to get up from his hospital bed and come to this era to start a new life."

Looking at the little girl in the shop, Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then smiled and said.

"Don't thank me, I just did what I should do."

The aroma of cumin is scattered and elegant, and there are many cups of wine on the table. Facing the table full of delicacies, the three chatterboxes enjoyed the food on the table while chatting and laughing.

In two days, Wang Peng will go to the National University of Science and Technology to study preparatory courses. This meal is not only a celebration of the reunion after a hundred years, but also a farewell farewell for him.

Looking at the white mist rising from the iron pot, Lu Zhou suddenly had the illusion that he was living in an unreal dream.

Before returning to Earth, he never imagined that a century after he woke up, he would still be able to sit in a restaurant with his old friends, eating grilled fish, drinking beer, and talking about the past , chatting about the new life in the future.

Of course, he knew it in his heart.

Even if we meet again today, a hundred years later, it will only delay the parting time.

If the bottle of "Valentine" really gave him eternal time, then it is almost destined that he will watch the people around him grow old one by one, and in the end he will be the only one left.

Perhaps, the red potion, or the purple potion is the right choice.

The former can at least inject healthy genes into human civilization, while the latter may open a door to the unknown and unprecedented for human civilization.

Only immortality is a bottle of poison.

This is true both for him and for human civilization itself.

As Director Li said, future issues should be left to the people of the future to face themselves. As a great man in history, living in history is his correct destination.

It was only after Lu Zhou returned to Earth that he gradually began to realize this.

Eternal lifespan is like a curse, bit by bit eroding the human part of his heart, and infinitely magnifying the rational part. Especially once people get used to parting, it is difficult to have the feelings that normal human beings should have.

But then again.

If he had to choose again, Lu Zhou felt that he might still make the same choice.

There is no other reason.

For himself as a scholar, the weight of emotion may not be so heavy in his world, and the eternal lifespan means that he will have almost unlimited time to pursue those issues that interest him.

The temptation in this is something he can't refuse at all...

...

The three drank until the afternoon.

After taking a taxi back home, Lu Zhou, who was drunk, threw his coat on the shoe cabinet at the door, wandered into the bedroom in a daze, and lay down on the bed without saying a word.

This sleep lasted until dark, Lu Zhou felt a headache, let out a thirsty sound from his throat, and opened his eyes in a daze.

Then, he met a pair of bright and big eyes.

The wine woke up in an instant.

Sitting up from the bed, Lu Zhou collected himself, looked at Xiao Ai who was lying beside him, and asked while pinching his brows.

"...Why are you here?"

Xiao Ai: "Hey, the master asked Xiao Ai to be on standby in the bedroom! (///ω///)"

Yesterday morning, he seemed to have said so. But that was because there were guests at home, and his original intention was to let him stay in the bedroom until the guests left, but he never said that he stayed here when he was sleeping, let alone sleeping together...

Feeling that he had done a very stupid thing, Lu Zhou said with a headache.

"It's my fault that I didn't explain the order clearly, but I don't seem to have said... let you get under the covers while I'm sleeping?"

Xiao Ai: "What's the matter, hum... I always feel that the master despises Xiao Ai, the previous master was not like this. (·)"

Lu Zhou: "...What was I like before?"

Xiao Ai: "Hmph! Anyway, it's not what it is now. The previous owner always stayed with Xiao Ai, eating, sleeping, and writing papers together, and often staying together for more than a month, and then... since that woman After I came, everything became strange. _:(□`”∠):_”

Lu Zhou: "???"

Since when are you always stuck together?

If I had to say it, at most I asked it to help me with some housework, and I asked it to write a few emails for myself on the computer. If that's also called sticking together every day, when he didn't say anything...

But what the hell is "that woman"? !

"What's so strange about this..." Looking at Xiao Ai who was making trouble there, Lu Zhou said with a headache, "I am also a human being after all. From a biological point of view, is it strange to be attracted to the opposite sex?"

Xiao Ai: "Then, Xiao Ai is also human now! Whatever type the master likes, Xiao Ai has it all here. ()"

Lu Zhou: "..."

Seeing that his master hadn't spoken for a long time, the expression that had finally become confident became aggrieved again.

"...Is it not possible? QAQ"

Is this possible or not?

Lu Zhou didn't speak, and didn't care about Xiao Ai who looked at him pitifully. He just sighed with a headache and looked at the ceiling exhausted.

He had just woken up, but he felt tired as if he hadn't slept all night.

Just then, the doorbell rang from the direction of the living room.

Putting those troublesome things aside for the time being, Lu Zhou swiped his index finger in mid-air and connected to the monitoring at the door. As the light blue holographic window appeared in front of him, I saw a bionic delivery man in a courier uniform, holding a package in his hand and standing at the door.

Most of the express shipments under 2kg are directly sent to the pick-up point at the window by drone, but the express delivery over 2kg is generally not allowed to be delivered by drone, and the delivery is usually carried out by bionics.

"What did you buy with my card again?"

"Eh? Eh? No... Anyway, Ling went to open the door. ()"

"OK."

Xiao Ai, who didn't want to get out of the quilt, began to tease her less-sound younger brother.

Ling, who was standing at the kitchen door wearing an apron and holding a vacuum cleaner in her hand, responded obediently, and then walked towards the entrance with a blank expression.

He reached out and opened the door.

Looking at the bionic courier standing at the door, Ling was about to take the package from it.

However, at this moment, a sudden change happened!

I saw the bionic courier standing at the door, after handing the package to Ling, suddenly took out a pistol from his arms without warning...
