Chapter 1585 Maybe I Did an Extra Thing
In the 21st century, cancer undoubtedly deserves the title of terminal illness.
Not only because of the unpredictable pathogenic mechanism and early symptoms that are difficult to detect, but also because once it develops to an advanced stage and the cancer cells spread throughout the body, there is almost no absolutely effective treatment.
Especially like lung cancer, whether you can survive in the end is basically resigned to fate.
However, this is the 21st century, when a common flu could throw the world into crisis.
After the 22nd century, as nano-robots and bionic organs and implants are widely used in the medical industry, cancer is no longer a big problem.
At least, it's no longer called terminally ill.
In this utopian era of prosperity, as long as the money is in place, it is impossible for a person to die.
Even if you die, you can come back to life in another form...
"Congratulations, Ms. Vera, your lung cancer has been cured, I hope you cherish your hard-won health... Also, welcome to the 22nd century, the Foundation for the Protection of Rights and Interests of Frozen People will contact you later and explain to you what you need to pay attention to. matters, and how to start a new life.”
In a trance, Vera, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard the doctor standing beside the hospital bed finish reading these words according to the script.
It's as if what was just cured was just a small cold, but it's worth mentioning that there was no release from freezing hibernation.
However……
Is the latter something to be congratulated on?
In the 22nd century, that is to say, it has been 100 years since I woke up this time.
Waking up in this world without him, might as well just keep sleeping like this...
There was a trace of soreness in her chest, but looking at the doctor standing by the bed, Vera still politely and weakly said thank you, and watched him leave the ward.
"...You just had an operation and your body is still recovering. It would be better to lie down."
Hearing the voice of concern from the side, Vera slowly turned her face away, only to see a young nurse standing there, looking at her and smiling.
"Thanks……"
"You're welcome, it's our job to take care of patients," the nurse continued with a smile on her face, "My name is Qian Xiuxiu, how about you?"
Speaking of my name, isn't it on the medical record?
Even so, she politely introduced herself.
"...Vera Puyui."
"Vera Puyui? There are very few foreigners here, and you are the first dormant person with a foreign face I have seen here."
"I will be naturalized in 2022."
"So that's how it is," the nurse said with a gentle smile, "it must be difficult to sleep for so long after 100 years. You should have a good rest first, and I will bring you dinner later. "
"I'm not sleepy..." Vera, who was holding the quilt lightly with her hands and sitting with her back leaning on the pillow, was silent for a while, then said softly, "...just now, I had a long, long dream."
Hearing this sentence, the nurse showed a surprised expression on her face.
"Although I haven't tried hibernation, theoretically speaking, it should be impossible to dream in the state of cryogenic hibernation."
If this is the case, it must be a remarkable discovery in medicine.
So far, how to combine the neural access system with cryo-dormant technology has been the most cutting-edge research field in academia. This is the first time she has heard that someone can produce memories similar to dreams after being frozen into hibernation.
The vast majority of people, just closing and opening their eyes, came from the past to the present.
But this kind of esoteric thing is still a bit too far away for her, an ordinary little nurse.
"What kind of dream was that?"
"It feels... like looking back on my life over the past twenty years," Vera showed a weak smile on her face, staring at the ceiling with a complicated expression, and continued, "I saw myself in childhood, and I also saw A...very, very familiar person talked to me a lot through a thick layer of fog."
After waking up, she couldn't remember most of the memories of the dream, but she just vaguely felt that she seemed to have missed something very important.
"It's unbelievable that you can remember the things in your dream so clearly," Qian Xiuxiu said with a relaxed expression on her face, with a surprised expression on her face, "But after hearing what you said, I remembered a rumor."
"... What rumors?"
"That's the story of another sleeper who woke up and told us he felt like he was falling asleep and his parents stood over the edge of the hospital bed and talked a lot to him and insisted that his The parents are still alive and want to see them. But in fact, they died decades ago."
It seemed that the story she told was too bizarre, Qian Xiuxiu smiled embarrassedly and said.
"Of course...we all agreed that it might be because of missing his parents that he had hallucinations."
"I'm sure it's not a hallucination!" The volume uncontrollably increased a few decibels, and Vera, who suddenly realized that she was excited, took a breath slowly, calmed herself down quickly, and continued in a low tone, "If it's a hallucination... the person I saw in my dream must not be her, but him."
Qian Xiuxiu stared blankly at the emotional patient for a while, and then her tone softened.
"It is not easy to leave the life you are familiar with, but I believe that the relatives, friends, and lovers who sent you to this era must have greater courage. Even if it is to live up to this courage and expectation Please be sure to live strong in this new world."
Seemingly agreeing with this statement, Vera was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of a practical problem, and couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
"Speaking of which, the hospitalization fee..."
"You don't have to worry about this," the nurse said with a gentle smile, "Most of your expenses have been paid before you go dormant. And the excess part, about two days ago, a nobleman came to visit here You have paid all of it."
The expression on his face gradually changed from surprise to disbelief, and the sadness that covered his chest gradually turned into a trace of unconcealable excitement.
The hands pinched on the quilt trembled slightly.
Although she knew it was impossible, she still asked with a trembling voice.
"who is he?"
"He didn't leave his name, but just asked me to bring you a sentence."
"What words?!"
Looking at Vera who was asking emotionally, the nurse's face flushed slightly, and she whispered.
"He only said one thing... I miss you so much."
The moment she heard these words, Vera's face turned red, and she slowly slid down on the bed, burying her hot face under the quilt.
ah……
It must be him!
Even if he has become a grandfather over a hundred years old, it doesn't matter at all!
The important thing is that he is still alive!
The originally gloomy world was suddenly dyed with color again in an instant, and even the pure white ceiling suddenly became brighter than before.
Although no one told her where she was in this world, at this moment, she felt that every cell in her body was given new meaning.
I really want to...
See you soon.
...
Pan-Asian Cooperation Headquarters.
Li Guangya, who was sitting in the office, was drinking coffee and killing his free lunch break.
Wei Song, the office secretary who was standing next to him, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but speak.
"Mr. Chairman."
"What's wrong?"
"With all due respect, you shouldn't have done that unnecessary thing..."
No matter how you say it, it is not good to speak in the name of others.
Especially the kind of misleading words.
In an instant, he guessed what his secretary was complaining about. Li Guangya smiled happily, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and leaned back in the office leisurely.
"Really? But don't you think it would be interesting?"
Hearing this sentence, Wei Song suddenly felt dizzy.
Although it was his idea to wake up that person from hibernation and give Academician Lu more concern for the world, he never thought that the chairman would be so serious as to add so much drama to himself.
After all, many things are just speculations they made based on unofficial history. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they didn't have that idea at all?
"But if Academician Lu finds out..."
"Then he will definitely not blame me, I just pushed him, and the choice of whether to take that step forward is still his own after all," Li Guangya said slowly, "not to mention who can prove that I have been there ? You? Will you betray me?"
"Of course I can't betray you."
"That's all right," Li Guangya continued calmly, "By the way, you can go and say hello to the people at the Security Bureau to see if there are any familiar people who are sleeping... If so, the first Tell me immediately—or don’t tell me at all, those that can be unfrozen have been thawed as early as possible, and the expenses will be reimbursed directly from me.”
Wei Song gave a wry smile and nodded.
"……yes."
I always feel that this guy is a little too hard...
