    December 25, 2072, Christmas.  Qiao Yiyu was in the kitchen, making their last lunch. A few of them brought a few military cans with them when they came out. Han Le was awakened from his dream by the smell of this food. After struggling all night last night, Han Le didn't even drink any water.  When I saw the thick soup boiling in the pot in the kitchen, my mouth almost dropped.  "I found a few bags of instant noodles in the refrigerator. They were from three years ago, but they should still be edible," Qiao Yiyu said when he brought the things over. "I made a makeshift meal and eat it quickly. I have something to say after that."  "The thing looks a bit unsightly. It's instant noodles mixed with military cans. Noodles, dehydrated rice, meat, and vegetables are mixed into a pot of porridge. It looks like various rice chowders in Korean dramas, but it tastes good. Plus,  She was indeed hungry. The two grown men took the bowls and finished them in a few minutes. When they finished eating, Qiao Yiyu had only eaten a third of it. She seemed to have little appetite, but when the two of them put it down,  When using chopsticks, Qiao Yiyu also stopped.  "As you can see, we are wanted criminals now," Qiao Yiyu said with a calm face, "We have no food and no electricity now That battery will last for half a month at most. The government troops outside are looking for us. On the contrary,  The government troops might also be looking for him. " Qiao Yiyu only said half of what he said. Su Pei lowered his head and stared at the bottom of the bowl he had just finished. He knew that he had no say. Qiao Yiyu didn't say anything at all.  She didn't trust him, that's what she said to Han Le.  Han Le was still a little naive and said: "I still have" "You can't get out a penny." Qiao Yiyu said, "Me too, in this era, even if we want to go out to rob, we still have to rob  Less than a cent, most of the money has been electronicized. And we may not be able to rob others. The robbers outside are more professional than us now. " "What do you mean?" Han Le is a little worried.  Understand, "Hibernation?" "This is a good method, but too many people use it, and the good method has turned into a bad method. The government is now cracking down on private hibernators everywhere. It is impossible to use electricity privately at home. Now every household  People's power supply is cut off once a month, and it can only be restored by family members. Some criminals also specialize in robbing people who are hibernating at home. " Han Leke really didn't know what to say.  "My opinion is to use a compromise between the two methods," Qiao Yiyu said. "Given our current status, it is impossible for us to find any regular jobs. For safety, we have to avoid communicating with any outsiders as much as possible. But, similarly  For safety's sake, we can't all three of us fall asleep. That would be waiting for death. This battle shouldn't last too long. We must at least ensure that one of us is awake, so that if the situation changes, we can respond.  Do you understand? " "You mean, three people take turns hibernating?" Su Pei asked softly.  Qiao Yiyu nodded.  "How long will the duty rotation be?" When it comes to survival, Su Pei always knows more subconsciously.  "What do you think?" Qiao Yiyu asked him.  "One month?" "Okay." Qiao Yiyu agreed.  "Then those who are awake" Han Le felt that he still had not figured out his thoughts, "What should we do with those who are awake?" What should we eat?  What to wear?  What to use?  How to live?  Also taking care of the other two hibernators.  He felt that if it was his turn, he wouldn't know what to do.  "It's okay," Qiao Yiyu comforted him, "I'm on the first shift I will make arrangements when you wake up." "But what if you are halfway through hibernation? What if there is no power?" Han Le  Still subconsciously worried, this hibernation is different from the previous ones. They are still living in someone else's home In Han Le's opinion, at least they have to wait until they find a stable place to live before discussing hibernation But Qiao Yiyu  Adhering to her opinion: "I will find a way to solve the electricity problem. Even if there is no electricity, it will not be a big problem. My hibernation method is completely different from the method in the hospital that relies on low temperature to reduce metabolism. The low temperature is only to prevent bacteria.  But if we don¡¯t hibernate now, we won¡¯t even be able to eat dinner. With three people living together, just sleeping and keeping warm will be a big problem" Although the two people were not so willing, they still had to agree. They had no say at all.  , Qiao Yiyu said that he was asking for their opinions, but in fact, their opinions were completely worthless.  Besides believing in Qiao Yiyu, what else can they do?  This hibernation can be regarded as the simplest of the three hibernations. Han Le was lying on the floor that had just been cleaned, staring at the ceiling. The only lamp in the living room was already a bit broken. Even though it was extinguished,  But there was still a faint glow. Amidst all the messy emotions, Han Le tried hard to stop his thinking and put it into perspective.Focusing on the flashing of this light, he secretly predicted in his mind when it would flash next According to the experience of the previous two hibernations, he should gradually fall into sleep and lose consciousness after a period of time, and then wait for him to wake up again  When it comes, the time will be like a joke, secretly moving back an unknown number of years Oh, no, according to this arrangement, it should be one month, or two months later. What can I do when I wake up?  ?  How will Qiao Yiyu arrange herself?  At this time, Qiao Yiyu, who had been lying on the sofa above them, suddenly sat up, and the hand that was in contact with Han Le's forehead also left. Han Le opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise, thinking that something had gone wrong during hibernation.  , but Qiao Yiyu said: "Han Le, come here." Han Le turned his head and looked at Su Pei, who was lying next to him. His breathing was so long that it was almost impossible to hear it - he had obviously hibernated.  "Don't feel weird," Qiao Yiyu said while packing her "charger pistol", "I just lied to you But I didn't want to lie to you, but to him. To be honest, I didn't  Don't worry about him. I didn't plan to take him out originally, but now that he's here, forget it and let him sleep. Since he liked hibernation so much in the past, Qiao Yiyu's attitude of telling the truth lightly made him happy.  Han Le felt a little relieved, because it showed that she still believed in him, but at the same time he felt uneasy - the gap between the Qiao Yiyu in front of him and the one he knew back then could be said to be worlds apart. She looked like that back then.  Naive and straightforward, but now able to deceive and lie as a daily routine - it is not difficult to imagine that these factors must have been part of her previous life.  "Do you think I'm a bit a bit scary now?" Qiao Yiyu saw Han Le's expression.  Han Le didn't know whether to admit or deny, but he was not good at hiding his emotions: "I haven't adapted to it yet." "Do you remember what I said about tit for tat?" Qiao Yiyu said, "He  He threatened me once, I lied to him once, that's it I actually don't like doing it, but I know it's necessary, by the way, try this." Qiao Yiyu handed over the gun in his hand.  Han Le weighed it and found it was lighter than expected: "What kind of gun is this?" "A stun gun is a police pistol." Qiao Yiyu came over to give him a general introduction. "It looks like it has no bullets, but actually it does, but it's very  Xiao, you shoot at the wall there is no sound and no recoil. "Han Le tried to pull the trigger. Sure enough, nothing seemed to happen, but Qiao Yiyu walked to the direction of the wall he was aiming at and said hello.  He went over and said, "Look." Han Le looked carefully and saw clearly that there was a very small thing like a sewing needle embedded in the wall. He stretched out his hand to pull it out, but Qiao Yi stopped him.  Yu held it down: "Don't move. Did you see the small ring at the back? That's a superconducting coil it can knock you out if touched." Han Le felt a little incredible: "Can superconducting exist at room temperature?  " "It can only be said that it is quasi-superconducting. It lasts for two seconds after chargingthat is to say, it is charged at the moment when you shoot it, and it discharges after hitting it. I remember that day in the hospital, you were charged.  "Kidnapped?" "Well," Han Le recalled the scene, "Were those people knocked down by electric shock?" "Yes, but the military used more advanced ones" At this point, Qiao Yiyu smiled.  , "If you don't say it again, it will really be a crime of leaking state secrets." Han Le didn't react to this cold joke. By the time he reacted, it was no longer appropriate to laugh again.  "This is insurance," Qiao Yiyu pointed to another point and explained, "Close it when not in use You can practice shooting against the wall a few times here to get a feel for it." About half an hour later, Han Le and Qiao  Yi Yu went out together. It was very cold outside, and the air humidity was even heavier than the winter in Shen Hai. Just after going out, Han Le felt that the cold was cracking his bones. In his memory, the last time it was so cold, he was still the same person who saw Qiao Yi.  Rainy morning.  And now, he was holding a pistol and following Qiao Yiyu, going out to find his dinner, or to put it more directly, he was preparing to become a thief. When he thought of this, Han Le felt that he didn't know what it was like.  The target of the two is most of the houses in this community. Specifically, including the edible food inside, standard batteries (the kind Qiao Yiyu pulled out of the car), and special freezers for hibernation (if any)  words), in addition, hard drives and suitable coats are also Han Le¡¯s own goals.  The plan Qiao Yiyu made was of a "sweeping" nature, that is, starting from the first floor of their building, and sweeping out every house in the residential area, floor by floor, in the main building, taking into account that there might still be people living there.  Among them, every time Qiao Yiyu scans the front, he will use that weird liquid metal?Infiltrate and investigate carefully.  "Company clerks, shop owners, guitar players, stock traders spies, high-ranking officials," Qiao Yiyu said to herself while controlling the penetration of liquid metal at the door while waiting outside, "There are more today.  Like a thief, my life is really colorful.¡± Han Le murmured to himself: ¡°I have never done anything I only know how to play games.¡± Even as a thief, I can only serve as a lookout.  After the door opened, Han Le still had a guilty conscience and did not dare to go in, as if he was afraid that a monster would jump out and eat him in one bite. However, Qiao Yiyu was not so afraid and went straight into the bedroom and rummaged through the cabinets.  "Don't think too much. No one who hibernates will care if they have less food at home," Qiao Yiyu said while searching. "Hurry up. The faster we waste, the less time we will waste. We will be discovered."  The less likely it is. " Han Le really doesn't have this experience, and he's not that kind of material. He can only look in some cabinets and desks. He didn't find anything to eat, but he did find a few mobile phones and a few books.  If he had left the books and diaries in the past, he would definitely sit down and read them, but now he can only glance at them a few times - there is nothing new, just some pre-hibernation remarks written by a person who hibernated three years ago.  He was not in a good mood.  But their luck was not bad. In the kitchen storage room, the two found a bag of rice, a sealed package of ten kilograms, with the words "Support domestically produced genetically modified products" on the bag.  Qiao Yiyu opened it, smelled it, threw one in his mouth and chewed it, but it didn't go bad.  Han Le excitedly planned to take it back, but Qiao Yiyu waved his hand to stop him: "We will live here from now on, on the first floor. If something goes wrong, we can run away quickly."  After a few times, he gradually got used to it. After raiding more than a dozen houses without incident, Han Le became bolder. In 401 on the fourth floor, when Qiao Yiyu opened his eyes, Han Le subconsciously  He wanted to rush in, but Qiao Yiyu stretched out his hand to stop him: "There is someone inside." But Qiao Yiyu still went in. There was indeed someone inside, just the kind lying in the freezer. It was obvious that the head of the household himself  He should be a medical expert. There are many instruments for monitoring physiological functions densely arranged around the freezer. There is no electricity in the room - Qiao Yiyu quickly found the source of electricity for these instruments. In the original bathroom, a whole  The room was filled with standard batteries wired in parallel.  Qiao Yiyu studied the surrounding instruments for more than an hour, and finally took away a dozen standard batteries on the premise that they would not affect the other party's hibernation. In fact, due to aging and use, these batteries did not have much remaining power.  According to Qiao Yiyu's calculations, the remaining batteries can last for more than a year at most. After the power reaches the warning line, the man will be awakened by the awakening device he designed himself.  Because this is underground, there are only seven or eight floors at most, with four families living on each floor. In theory, there should be more than 30 families living in this building, but in fact there are only more than ten families. Most of the people above the fifth floor are  It was an empty room, with graffiti painted everywhere on the walls and all kinds of stinky domestic garbage - it was obvious that these places had been lived by people similar to homeless people.  Han Le and the others came out around two o'clock in the afternoon. It was already past seven o'clock when they returned. Han Le and Qiao Yiyu brought down a bed specially designed to prevent earthquakes from upstairs. Under the bed was a relatively sealed  They planned to use it as a cabinet temporarily and let Su Pei sleep in it.  After moving Su Pei, they had to move again and move some of the furniture and belongings they liked to the room on the first floor. The apartments in these houses were not small, similar to the ones Han Le lived in Shenhai, but the living room was not as comfortable -  ¡ª Mainly because sunlight doesn¡¯t exist underground.  Han Le and Qiao Yiyu each chose a room, and then put Su Pei in the other room. After they were almost done, Han Le was so tired that he couldn't straighten up.  Fortunately, water is free in this era, so Han Le can go to the bathroom and take a hot bath. When he came out, Qiao Yiyu had already cooked rice there. The dishes included a few canned food and some were dehydrated.  vegetable.  "Qiao Yiyu," Han Le took the initiative to call Qiao Yiyu's name for the first time during the meal, "Are you planning to live like this forever?" "Unless our wanted order is cancelled, or we find a new one,  Until there is a good solution, this is the only way. Why, you're not used to it?" Qiao Yiyu saw that the food in Han Le's bowl didn't move much.  "No," Han Le said, "I just prepare myself mentally. In fact, it doesn't matter how I live, it doesn't make any difference to me." Qiao Yiyu recalled Han Le's life deep in his memory.  The pattern, looking at the situation in front of me, seems to be the same. Han Le used to stay at home alone, just playing games Now he must be?Easy to adapt to, games in this era are definitely more fun.  Han Le originally planned to do this. After eating, he would thoroughly enjoy the ultra-high configuration of servers in this era and enjoy what it feels like to play games on a server alone. But for some reason, he washed his hands from the kitchen.  After taking the bowl, he came out and saw Qiao Yiyu sitting in the living room without a word. He subconsciously stopped. After a while, he sat down next to Qiao Yiyu.  Qiao Yiyu turned around: "What? Bored?" Han Le shook his head and said after a moment: "Let's talk." "What do you want to say?" Qiao Yiyu took off his military cap, loosened his braided hair, and touched  After touching it, it was still too long. She went to the room to find a pair of scissors that she had collected in the afternoon and started cutting.  Han Le almost had the urge to stop this scene from happening. He even thought about the line: "You look better with longer hair." But he still didn't say it. He knew that Qiao Yiyu didn't care about looking good.  What's more, her short hair is no less impressive.  Just as the black hair fell to the ground, Han Le said: "Have you been like this for so many years coming here alone?" Qiao Yiyu almost immediately understood what Han Le meant: "Yes, you hey  " Qiao Yiyu didn't say anything anymore. After so many years, she knew that it was useless.  Han Le sighed: "Actually, I should have thought of itdid everyone in your time fall in love?" "No, it's not what you think. There were many people in love," Qiao Yiyu said, "But not in love.  There are manybut no one finds it strange. In fact, even now, there are people who never fall in love or get married. In fact, they don¡¯t have the motivation, because the more advanced civilization is, the more interesting things in life will be. "  Han Le agrees with this point of view. In his opinion, even in his time, many people of the same age got married, had children, and accepted their fate. In fact, they just felt that life was boring and needed to change naturally. This sounds quite ridiculous.  But it is a fact for many people. Life is a problem for everyone. Day after day, they have to live it. They always think about something interesting. However, there are only a few interesting things in the world, among which the instinct given by nature accounts for the most.  If you don¡¯t do this, what else can you do?  ¡ª¡ªIn this sense, hibernation is a break from such a highly repetitive life pattern. At least, it can be regarded as an attempt.
