Chapter 46: Awakening
It turns out that when you hibernat, you can dream. Dai Bingcheng thought.
But then he was a little surprised: So, wouldn't I have to dream for two years in a row?
But he was just surprised, and he didn't feel panicked. Because he felt that he had forgotten what it was like to panic.
Then the question arose: my brain cells must have been frozen. Like a lot of little pieces of crushed ice. But how can frozen brain cells be active, and how can they dream?
The question didn't stay in my mind for long, because in the blink of an eye, more things came flooding back. He couldn't tell if it was a memory or a dream.
He saw himself as a child. As a child, he was born in a mountain village further north, where it was colder. It was in that distant homeland that he learned to make copper buttons into "small droplets" and ......
Then it was the time for him to suffer the loss of his wife for the first time. It should have been very sad at that time.
But......
What does it feel like to be sad?
Now he couldn't figure it out, so he remembered the emperor. He also didn't know what it was, and "so" he remembered the emperor. But the young man's face came to his mind.
For a moment, he felt like he had grasped something very important—something he seemed to have just realized. Or rather, the one thing he was thinking about a second ago was that he was ...... just now
Right. I just went into hibernation. He thought, he had just fallen asleep, and he had so many thoughts, so how could he survive the rest of the day.
So how should I fight...... Hair............ This.................. Time........................ Space?
The speed of thinking slowed down suddenly, and the world in my mind became slow motion. Even the thought just now seems to have been pulled into a long voice. It took a lot of effort for him to figure out that idea.
It was as if a magician had jumped up and thrown him a powerful spell, and he felt like he had fallen into a glass of sticky cream.
Right in the next moment.
A loud, roaring, buzzing sound of his head was coming into his consciousness—
"General? Checkmate? Can you hear me? ”
Dai Bingcheng felt that he was flying all at once, but he couldn't feel his body. I only felt that I was being carried by something, rising into the air like a cloud, and landing on some soft place.
"Hibernate ......," he thought as he felt light penetrate his eyelids. He tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids twitched slightly. Then I felt as if there were a lot of lights flickering in my field of vision.
Immediately, the eyelids were violently lifted. A bright light shone on his pupils. Another roaring but unreal voice said, "He's waking up." ”
However, Dai Bingcheng still did not react to all this. He tried to spell two more words in his mind with difficulty—
"Failed ......"
A third buzzing voice said, "In good physical condition, no unusual reactions. ”
Dai Bingcheng finally made up for his original thought-
“…… Is it so? ”
So he opened his eyes.
All he knew was that he was in a room. And there were three people around him, and the lights that dimmed as he awoke, tables and chairs, and pale walls......
But for a moment he only thought of these words, but he couldn't remember what they meant.
He just looked around blankly with his eyes open. Like a stunned psychopath. Mouth slightly open.
The slightly taller male doctor among the three held out a finger and shook it in front of him, and asked in a clear, slow voice, "How much is this?" ”
Dai Bingcheng didn't speak.
The doctor waited patiently for a minute, then held out another finger: "How much is this?" ”
After thinking for more than ten seconds, Dai Bingcheng finally said with difficulty: "Two." ”
The doctor still had the same calm expression. Add another finger: "And now?" ”
“…… Three. ”
This time it only took him four seconds.
"Good." The doctor said quietly. "Can you remember your name?"
"Dai ...... Bingcheng. ”
"I'll leave it to you both." The male doctor turned around simply. Push the door and walk out.
Dai Bingcheng blinked slowly, feeling that something was wrong. But it wasn't until two minutes later that he finally figured out that something was wrong with the attitudes of these men.
I'm Dai Bingcheng! He felt that his thoughts had finally become clear, I was the Bronze King! I'm a cabinet veteran!
- What is the doctor's attitude?
He coughed hard. Dissatisfied, he moved his fingers and said in a weak voice, "You ......"
But the two female nurses who remained at his bedside immediately pushed his fingers back, pulled up the thin sheet again, and said, "You just woke up, pay attention to keep warm." ”
After speaking, the other nurse also walked out, leaving only one person. The young girl who stayed behind ignored him, only turned around and dragged a wooden bench to sit on the edge of the bed, and looked down at the book she was holding. She looked at it and said, "When you have the strength, tell me, and I'll push you out of the city for a walk." ”
At this time, Dai Bingcheng was really angry. He always had the urge to get up, let alone at times like this. His anger was not only due to the rude attitude of the three men to him, but also because there was no one to explain to him, why he had just entered hibernation and was dragged out again—he felt that he was so weak that he was about to die.
Many thoughts crossed his mind, but none of them could reasonably explain the current situation.
So he tried to ask in a stern voice, "What's going on?" Hibernation failed? ”
But his voice was weak, and it seemed more like he was angry.
At this time, the nurse who looked down at the book raised her head, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Failure? No, you've been asleep for a long time. ”
Dai Bingcheng frowned. He would love to act a little angrier. But first, his physical condition did not allow it, and he felt that it was indeed a loss of identity to be angry with such a person in front of him. So he closed his eyes and straightened out his thoughts, and then opened his eyes again to take a closer look at the room.
The room looks a little shabby. There were a few places on the walls where the wallpaper was peeling, and the rest was slightly yellowed, apparently sticking there for some years. As for the earth...... Just kidding, there are a few edges of the floor that are upturned.
Here's ...... The hibernation experimental base, one of the Empire's cutting-edge laboratories, how could there be such a room?
He turned his gaze back to the nurse. The nurse holds a children's book in her hand......
Shouldn't a young person like her play with his phone? It's rare to see someone holding a paper book. For no reason, he had a better impression of this young girl, and his resentment was not so great.
And the chair she sat on, a wooden chair, was painted red. There were also places where the paint peeled off and occasionally creaked slightly - how many years had he not seen such a chair?
Realizing that things didn't seem as simple as he thought, he asked in as calm a voice as possible, "I...... How long is hibernation? ”
The girl simply closed the book. It seems that she feels that Dai Bingcheng is completely awake, and she is quite willing to chat with him. At this time, Dai Bingcheng also remembered that she was the first voice he heard.
Only this girl uses "you" when referring to herself.
"You've been hibernating for ten years." The girl said, "It's April 23, 2030." ”
Although he had been mentally prepared, Dai Bingcheng's eyes were still wide shocked by her words.
"Ten...... Year?! He said incredulously, "Isn't it two or three years?!" ”
The girl heard the anger in his shock, and stuck out her tongue: "Don't get excited, I don't know." We are just employees. ”
But this comfort is only a drop in the bucket. Dai Bingcheng was extremely shocked and gave birth to a trace of strength, and forced himself to sit up. The girl quickly brought a pillow and put it on his back.
It's a pity that such a thoughtful gesture didn't get anything in return. Dai Bingcheng suddenly roared loudly: "What about people?!" Only the three of you are responsible for waking me up? What about the cabinet guys? What about my people?! ”
Dai Bingcheng is rarely angry. But when he really started the fire, anyone would be frightened - so frightened that they sweated like rain, and did not dare to say another word - before.
But now the girl next to him was not scared at all. She even patted Dai Bingcheng's back gently, adjusted the bedside posture behind him a little more, and said softly: "Don't get excited. Now it's just me in charge of you. What would you like to see...... You'll have to wait until you're feeling better. ”
After saying this, she stopped talking. Sitting on the chair with his feet together and his hands resting on the book on his lap, a slightly sympathetic expression appeared on his face, as if Dai Bingcheng on the bed was a poor little old man who was irritable and irritable because his son was not by his side all the year round.
Dai Bingcheng gasped, his chest rising and falling violently. He stared at the door with his fists clenched for a few moments before noticing the look on the nurse's face — a good politician has to learn to control his emotions, even when he has just woken up from a decade-long hibernation and has not had a good temper due to hormonal imbalances in his body.
From this expression, he realized that there seemed to be something more terrifying. This discovery was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and his anger was extinguished at once.
So he looked at the girl's young and beautiful face, and asked word by word, "What else is going on?" Little girl, you tell me all. ”
The girl sighed softly and rested her hand on the back of Dai Bingcheng's hand.
Dai Bingcheng immediately felt that a force had entered his body, washing his whole body like cool spring water, and his emotions settled down in an instant.
He realized that the little girl was a capable person.
But before he could figure out why a person with such special abilities would come to work as a nurse, the girl's words had already dizzy his mind: "There is no cabinet now." Now His Majesty the Emperor is in power. (To be continued......)
