But Han Le immediately realized the immaturity of this idea, as he just learned on the Internet more than two hours ago, as early as more than ten years ago, the total global population has easily crossed the 10 billion mark, because of hibernation, the non-hibernating population of governments is seriously insufficient, and some countries are still introducing a series of policies to encourage childbirth, and now they are unswervingly moving towards the terrifying figure of 15 billion...... Once all these numbers are released, the catastrophe that Amy just said may happen immediately.

But, Han Le smiled and complained to himself - these have something to do with me?

It doesn't matter, but when I talked to Amy about the details of these issues, maybe Han Le hadn't chatted with anyone like this for a long time, or he talked a lot about it, just like Qiao Yiyu once asked him about the social form of the next few hundred to thousands of years, Han Le's science fiction foundation has been fully exerted in the face of these problems. Among them, when talking about the possibility of a demographic catastrophe, Han Le even gloated a little and said: "If there is really a disaster, then I must wake up and experience it, the love for the end of the world is a common hobby of our generation!" ”

Amy agrees: "I've seen a lot of disaster movies, including many old films from your time and recent new films, although film technology has developed a lot, but I think in the imagination of disasters, people in our time are still a lot behind you." ”

It is always easy to find some reasons according to a phenomenon, Han Le boldly guessed: "Because your era is so good, I remember that when I was a child, the old people also tasted the experience of famine when they were young, that is, when they grow up, an earthquake or a typhoon will attract everyone's great attention." But now, many hibernation areas, and even the main body of the city, are located underground, and these factors do not seem to have much to do with each other. ”

"Earthquakes still have an impact, but it's true that they are not as sensitive as they were in your time...... As for famine......" Amy smiled, "maybe only people who lose weight can understand a little." ”

It was time to have dinner, the two came to the cafeteria together, and when ordering food, Han Le found that the canteen of this era could no longer see the chef and the hospitality of serving plates, and the whole process was automated...... But if you think about it, it's not surprising, is this what is called standardization in the true sense?

But the other things are more different, the burger is not two slices of bread sandwiched, but a whole slice of bread with stuffing stuffed inside, which looks like a big bread bun, but the taste and texture are very good.

"Do you seem curious about these foods, very different from your time?"

"It's a little different, but it's not very big, it just feels fresh, you're not hungry?" Han Le didn't move much when he saw that the thing in front of Amy didn't move.

The psychiatrist in front of him lowered his head and did not speak, but quickly raised his head and asked him, "Are you alone at night?" ”

"Ahh Han Le subconsciously replied, but soon realized the sensitivity of the question, and looked at her in surprise, "What do you mean ......?"

"I think you're funny...... You can say that there are some likes, but what about you? ”

Han Le is so old, it is the first time he has been confessed, which is even more nervous than when he confessed to Qiao Yiyu at that time, and he was even a little at a loss, and he couldn't speak: "Eh...... I...... Ah, I actually already have a girlfriend......" I have to say that Han Le is a little more amorous.

Amy shrugged indifferently: "Even if you have a wife, it's nothing, she should still be hibernating now, right?" ”

Han Le waved his hand: "Maybe this is our difference, in our time, there are some default moral restrictions on lovers......"

"I know what you're talking about," to Han's surprise, Amy's face didn't show the slightest unnaturalness when she spoke, "But if you live in a different time and space, is this considered a betrayal?" She is now almost non-existent. ”

"But she does." Han Le felt that he had found the key point, that is, the emotional morality of this era seemed to be completely different from what he was familiar with, "We made an appointment to wake up together......

"But you're alone now." Amy emphasized the fact that "her consciousness is now suspended, and there is no difference between it and non-existence." ”

"But I feel like she's there, all the time." Han Le didn't argue anymore.

"This kind of thinking of yours is obsessive-compulsive disorder in disguise in psychology."

"Moral obsessive-compulsion?" This word Han Le has seen in the novel.

“…… Sort of. Amy's face showed frustration at this time, "So, I was rejected?" ”

Han Le seemed to want to say something comforting, but his bad emotional intelligence made his tongue completely knotted at this time, and he talked like a river before eating, but now he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

"Forget it, it's not your fault," worthy of being a psychiatrist, Amy's emotional self-healing ability is simply MAX, and she actually laughed, "If you weren't from hibernation in the past, I wouldn't be interested in you, but you're from that era, and it's not surprising that I was rejected......"

"It's okay," Amy reassured Han Le, "for you, our era is indeed too open...... But it shouldn't be difficult to understand, if I don't tell you today, maybe you'll go to hibernation tomorrow, then I won't have a chance to say it in my life, right? ”

Han Le nodded, while hibernation cut the time of life into fragments, it also turned many eternal meanings that were originally rooted here into moments that were not worth mentioning. In Han Le's era, serious love is a lifelong thing in many people's imagination, although it rarely becomes a reality, but at least everyone is willing to look at it this way. But apparently, this idea is completely inapplicable in the age of hibernation, what is a lifetime, what is forever? When the end of life itself becomes blurred, eternity becomes an ethereal concept.

Han Le eventually went back to the living quarters alone, the suites he had stayed in when he first woke up, which were semi-temporary for each hibernator to use for a short period of time during a waking period. When he lay on the bed, to be honest, Han Le had already begun to regret it, and he would feel a little incredible in retrospect - no matter what angle he looked at, the other party was an undeniable beauty, even in many of Han Le's fantasies during the "house" period, such a beauty took the initiative to come to the door and confess to himself was a beautiful thing he didn't dare to think of, and at that time, he couldn't have imagined that he would refuse so decisively as he did just now - maybe it was just a depression attack, right?

After a little regret, Han Le calmed down and thought about what Amy said, and found something very interesting - people in a state of hibernation have almost stopped all physiological activities, strictly speaking, life is "suspended", but awake people are still going on, people live in such a "fragmented" era, it is not surprising that there is a little difference in culture, or in other words, morality, even in their own time, because of the faster and faster pace of society, people seem to have this tendency in emotional issues- I remember that before graduating from college, I could often see a couple of couples on the school lawn, and it was just one side of the world, not to mention the "life and death" now.

This fact made Han Le realize that people's feelings are not as balanced as they think in many cases, just take it as just now, if he promised Amy, then he would definitely think about "living with her for a while" first, and the matter of waking up Qiao Yiyu would naturally be left aside - if Amy is doing well, out of inexplicable guilt, maybe he will never see Qiao Yiyu again in his life, it is actually very simple to do this, as long as the authorization of Qiao Yiyu is canceled. is just such a simple action, it turns out that two people who seem to trust and understand tacit understanding will miss each other for a lifetime.

The moment he realized this, Han Le almost immediately stood up, picked up the phone and walked out the door. After walking a little way, I realized that it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening......

No, Han Le dispelled any objections in his head, the late time was only for himself, for hibernators, even one or two o'clock in the morning was not too late, but if he let himself go until tomorrow, maybe he would meet Amy, or meet a more beautiful ...... than her Han Le wasn't sure what kind of temptation was waiting for him in this era, but he could only be sure that he was a person who was easily dominated by his senses, and he couldn't be sure whether he would change his mind tomorrow, and his previous life had proven the weakness of the so-called subjective will countless times.

The only thing that people can determine is now, and what can be decided is only now! On the way to the hibernation area, Han Le reminded himself over and over again in his heart while identifying the direction leading to Qiao Yiyu's hibernation cabinet according to the reminder on his mobile phone. There is a solid tile pavement under his feet, but now Han Le feels like a balloon in the clouds, and the whole world is beginning to become illusory, the only real thing is the photo of Qiao Yiyu on his mobile phone, and the string of addresses composed of English and numbers at the back.

From the brisk walk at the beginning, to the later almost all the way to the trot, the physical exertion made Han Le, who was not good at exercise, finally gasp for breath when he finally stood in front of the hibernation cabinet. Under the dim light, through the smooth surface of the metal cabinet, he could vaguely see his reflection, Han Le did not hesitate, and did not even have time to think about what Qiao Yiyu said when he saw it, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the fingerprint authentication area.
