The incident of the attack on the Arctic building that Han Le just experienced must be another landmark event in future history, it represents that the original rioters in China have gone from ordinary violations and crimes to armed rebellion, as far as the target of this attack is concerned, they failed, their original goal was to kill Qiao Yiyu in the attack, but in terms of effect, it is also significant, this incident directly ignited the fuse of the collapse of order across the country.

Han Le had just learned that his current temporary station was already located on the outskirts of the suburbs of Ningzhou City, which was an air-raid shelter for an early air base, and with the expansion of the construction of the subway tunnel in Ningzhou City, this air-raid shelter was also connected to the city's underground network. There is now about a regiment of soldiers in this station, and theoretically they are all under the command of Qiao Yiyu.

In fact, in Han Le's opinion, the conditions here are not bad compared to the ground, there is electricity and Internet, there is food and drink, it is said that it is winter, but the temperature does not fluctuate at all for 24 hours, which is better than Han Le living in his own house at that time. But the soldiers in the garrison obviously didn't think so, when they were usually fine, they could often see many people gathered in a group of three or five, discussing worriedly, at the beginning, Han Le didn't deliberately care, but with Su Pei, he soon knew that the attack on the Arctic Mansion seemed to be another army stationed in Ningzhou, this was not an ordinary riot, it was a problem within the army. The area around Ningzhou has been controlled by the side that supports hibernation, and the government forces are now negotiating, and they say that they are stationed here, but they are actually controlled here, and their fate depends entirely on the outcome of the negotiations between the two sides.

Because of Su Pei's words, in the next few days, Han Le became very concerned about public opinion on the Internet, and after a few days, he probably formed his own impression of the whole thing - the hibernation faction actually does not have a very lofty proposition, the only thing they want the government to do is to waste paper all the laws related to hibernation, as long as the government makes this promise publicly, they are willing to lay down their arms and lie back in the coffin - the last sentence was added by a good person on the Internet.

But the government's response is also very tough, restricting hibernation, or even banning hibernation altogether, is an important national policy that the current government is determined to implement, and negative teaching materials abound - there are countless similar videos on the Internet, in some small towns in Europe, in broad daylight like the end of the world, the once prosperous streets have completely become ghost towns, only the hospitals are brightly lit, large scales, centralized hibernation cold storage is in stark contrast to empty residential areas, in those cold storage, people are like beehives sealedDensely arranged, the video's author narrates that it looks like a giant morgue.

The video also interviewed some old people, they all belong to the more conservative kind of thinking, there are several old people whose whole family has gone to hibernation, but they have always been stubborn in the present, in an interview with an old man, he said: "In terms of data, the city has a population of 730,000, I have lived in the city center for five years, I have seen no more than a hundred people in the past five years, the city is like me, and now it is dying." ”

Most countries in Europe and the United States do not restrict the right of individuals to hibernate, and some countries only have certain norms for the form of hibernation, such as stipulating that the maximum time of hibernation cannot exceed one year, and the interval between two hibernations should be at least one month, but this month is meaningless - some staunch opponents on the Internet say that hibernation is actually no different from drugs, although there is no physical addiction, but mental addiction must be, the first hibernators are out of curiosity, they hibernate for a day or two for the first time, a month, But when they wake up, they will be fascinated by the magical effect of "traveling through time". Everyone wants to know what the future holds, and everyone wants to open their eyes to heaven – hibernation makes this fantasy a possibility to a large extent.

……

The negotiation process is the same as Han Le's life here, boring and no progress, the government has never been able to agree to the opposition's conditions, and the opposition has limited strength, and can only make empty threats again and again, but one thing is clear, during this time, the opposition has been waking up in the city to hibernate people to strengthen themselves, and in just half a month, the Internet began to become unprecedentedly lively. These newly awakened hibernators were like Han Le in the hospital at that time, they didn't know anything about the actual situation, or they just didn't know much, they just subconsciously hoped that the dispute would be stopped......

December 24th, Christmas Eve, is also the 22nd day of Han Le's coming to this era, in order to celebrate the festival, the meteorological department of Ningzhou City created a heavy snow by artificial snowfall, but Han Le They underground people can't see the scene, they can only look at it on the Internet through the Internet, a little more than 11 o'clock, Han Le was lying on the bed, waiting in front of the computer to see the Christmas bells, Qiao Yiyu pushed the door straight and came in.

Han Le just wanted to call her, but Qiao Yiyu raised his index finger in the center of his lips and made a silent movement, Han Le realized that something was wrong, and lowered his voice and asked Qiao Yiyu, "What's wrong?" ”

"Pack your things, come with me, and don't make a sound."

"Where are you going?" Han Le asked while looking for his pants in the bed.

"I don't know...... You should be running for your life. ”

Han Le was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly looked in the direction of the door of the room, and said, "What about Su Pei?" Su Pei lived opposite him, if he left like this, then he would definitely be completely blind when he woke up.

Qiao Yiyu frowned, but didn't hesitate for too long, just said, "You get dressed first, I'll call him." ”

Su Pei's reaction speed was much faster than Han Le's, and his preparation for danger was also more adequate than Han Le's, during this time, he didn't take off his clothes at all when he slept, and the gun was pinned to his waist and never put it down, as soon as Qiao Yiyu called him, he realized what was wrong. So after a while, he came over to urge Han Le: "Why are you wearing clothes so slowly?" ”

Except for a pair of clothes, there is nothing else to bring. They live in a small three-story building, and usually there are sentinels downstairs, but now the sentinels are watching shows in the lounge, and the hall is empty, and when the three of them go out, they can hardly see people.

Qin Jinwan was waiting for them at the back of the building, and when he went to pick up Qiao Yiyu's car that day and handed over the key to Qiao Yiyu, he said regretfully: "I really don't know when I saw you next time." ”

"Thank you for the reminder," Qiao Yiyu took the key and sat in the driver's seat, "Take care of yourself." ”

"Take care, too." Qin Jinwan waved his hand.

Because the cars of this era are driven by electricity, they are very quiet to drive, and even at the maximum driving force, the sound of the engine is still very small, and there is no "roaring" feeling that a heavy car should have in Han Le's impression, on the contrary, the sound of tires rubbing against the ground is louder than the car. When driving out of the camp, the sentry made a routine check, but when he saw that it was Qiao Yiyu, he didn't let her show her pass before letting him go.

Han Le, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, chuckled in his heart, not because he had a premonition, but just now he clearly saw that when the sentry came up just now, Qiao Yiyu's left hand quietly lowered from the steering wheel, and before getting into the car, Han Le noticed that it was where Qiao Yiyu put the gun.

After going out, Qiao Yiyu didn't say a word, his foot kept pressing the accelerator, Han Le glanced at Qiao Yiyu worriedly, and finally couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, we'll be safe soon," Qiao Yiyu gradually slowed down a little as he spoke, and at the same time turned on the high beams on the car, and paid attention to the road conditions ahead while looking, about ten minutes later, Qiao Yiyu pulled over at an intersection and only said two words, "Get out of the car." ”

After Han Le got out of the car, he found that Qiao Yiyu, who got out of the car first, was pulling out a brick-sized gray box from the side door, a position that looked like a throttle, and Han Le saw the electric symbol marked on it and understood that it must be a battery. Qiao Yiyu put the battery in his backpack, turned back to the two of them and said, "Give me your ID card, and if you have a mobile phone, computer, or other electronic products with you, take them out." ”

Su Pei had a mobile phone on him, and Han Le didn't bring anything with him - according to custom, he wanted to bring a computer, but in this era, the computer screen and the host are separated, and most of the data is actually transmitted from the Internet, so he didn't bother to do that.

Qiao Yiyu had an opaque computer in her backpack, she took out a data reader specially inserted into her ID card, connected it to the computer, operated it a few times, and returned her ID card to the two of them, as for the mobile phone, Qiao Yiyu was still in the drainage ditch on the side of the road.

After doing this, she walked straight to a fork in the road, Han Le and Su Pei looked at each other, in this series of actions just now, Qiao Yiyu's aura was too strong, coupled with the aura that shrouded her, so that the two of them only obeyed.

The three of them walked along the road in bad condition for almost an hour, the road became narrower and darker, Han Le almost thought they were drilling into the sewer, and they passed by a crowded area once, Han Le and they could even hear children cheering for Merry Christmas inside, but Qiao Yiyu ignored it.

Han Le's physique is not too bad, but because of the fast walking along the way, he already feels a faint soreness on the soles of his feet, Su Pei's situation is much better than him, when he was in the barracks before, he went out with those soldiers every morning to exercise and exercise, and now he looks even better than when he set off. Just when Han Le hesitated to ask if he should ask how long he would have to walk, Qiao Yiyu stopped, leaned on a pile of discarded metal pipes on the side of the road, and said, "Let's take a break." ”

Han Le sat down next to Qiao Yiyu, after Su Pei sat down, he also observed the surrounding terrain very vigilantly, and finally chose a corner a little farther away to sit, Han Le just wanted to laugh at him for being too afraid of death, but suddenly realized that this may not be Su Pei deliberately making room for him and Qiao Yiyu to talk.

"Han Le, are you afraid of death?" Qiao Yiyu whispered.

Han Le did not deny it: "Everyone is afraid of death, aren't you afraid?" ”

"I'm also afraid, that's why I ran," Qiao Yiyu said with an undisguised loss on his face, "You should have seen it from the Internet, my identity." ”

"That's right," Han Le didn't know how to say specifically, so he could only nod his head, "Then why are you ......?"

"I would say that politics is the dirtiest job of this era, and you don't think I'm angry." When she said this, Qiao Yiyu chuckled.

"No," Han Le shook his head, "I don't understand politics, and I don't care about it. ”

"This is the best," Qiao Yiyu said, "this is the wisest...... I should have thought of this a long time ago, and it's not too late. ”

Han Le felt as if he vaguely knew why Qiao Yiyu was running, combined with the thin man who was arrested that day and said to Qiao Yiyu that lackey, her current status, and the stalemate in the recent negotiations...... But it's just a blind guess, just like a small ordinary person guessing why a national leader was suddenly transferred, he has never participated in this game, and he doesn't even know the rules of the game, let alone evaluate the behavior of the characters in it.

"If there is no accident, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, maybe from now on, we will be wanted," Ms. Qiao said, "and the charges may be treason, theft of state secrets...... Does it sound like in the movies? ”

Han Le didn't know what kind of reaction he should have, he never knew anything about what Qiao Yiyu said, even if he had walked such a long way, a huge sense of unreality still enveloped him, even if Qiao Yiyu was going to tell him to save the earth and save the world, Han Le estimated that he could only show this expression.

"So then we have to find a place to hide, and it's best to find a place to hibernate ......" Speaking of hibernation, Qiao Yiyu smiled bitterly, "Anyway, hibernation is also the most economical way to survive." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her voice and said to Su Pei in the distance, "Come here, I know you're listening." ”

After Su Pei walked in, Qiao Yiyu said to him, "Did you hear what we said just now?" ”

Su Pei snorted.

Qiao Yiyu continued: "Then what is your opinion?" If you want to go, you can do it now...... But I can't guarantee that they won't embarrass you. ”

Su Pei didn't have any thoughts about this, in the more than 20 days since he woke up, whether it was what he saw on the Internet or the world he came into contact with in reality, it was far from his past impression of the world, even if he was as bold as Su Pei, he instinctively didn't want to face them alone, Qiao Yiyu didn't feel anything, but Han Le - to put it bluntly, at this time, he and Han Le were grasshoppers on a rope, and no one could do without anyone.

"That's okay," Qiao Yiyu nodded, and asked again, "I heard that you can pick the lock?" ”

……

Han Le has always despised thieves, but when he was forced to play this role himself, he still found it quite exciting.

"Are you alright?" Han Le nervously looked at the staircase not far behind him, and always felt that someone would jump out of nowhere in the next second and catch the three thieves.

"You wait...... This algorithm is too ......" Su Pei sweated profusely and worked on a computer brought by Qiao Yiyu, trying to rely on the little introductory hacker knowledge at the beginning of the 21st century to deal with the access control algorithm system in the second half of the 21st century.

"Can you do it?" Qiao Yiyu was already a little impatient, not because of the tight time, but because such a stalemate was completely unnecessary, at first Su Pei praised Haikou and said that five minutes was enough, but now it is 15 minutes.

After another five minutes, Su Pei, who was sweating profusely in the winter, put down the computer in a daze: "This algorithm can't be solved...... It's not ...... at all."

Qiao Yiyu shook his head, opened his backpack directly, and took out a piece of something that looked like an iron pimple from it, Su Pei saw it for the first time, and he was very surprised, but Han Le had already recognized it, it was the box he had seen, Qiao Yiyu performed a miracle, and now this pimple is obviously a deformation of this box.

Qiao Yiyu closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, the surface of this iron lump seemed to be melted into a small piece, and gradually stretched out a slender liquid tentacle, which drilled into the door along the crack of the door, and after about 30 seconds, there was a soft sound of opening the door - the door opened.

Su Pei's eyes were wide in disbelief: "What the hell is this?" ”

Qiao Yiyu didn't answer him, just walked straight to the door.

This is an ordinary residential community, they have observed before coming in, there are more than a dozen apartment buildings in the entire area, but there are no more than ten lights on, I don't know if it is because the real estate here is difficult to sell, or because the owners of these buildings have not returned. However, the one they entered must have been the former, as there were still some pictures of the original owners in the room.

Han Le subconsciously wanted to turn on the lights, but soon realized that the owner of the house was not there, and there must be no power in this room, Qiao Yiyu went to find the master switch, put the battery that was unplugged from the car into a slot of the same size on the side, and turned it on again - the lights were bright.

There is still a computer in this family's house, but it looks relatively shabby, but Han Le knows that it doesn't matter - the computer at home in this era is actually a screen decoration, and in many communities, users share a large server, which is the same as the form of Internet cafes in the past, because this method is more economical and easy to maintain - the integration of computer chips has reached the limit of Moore's law more than ten years ago, which means that the speed of computer replacement is slower, and the cost of research and development is higher, of course, The price of the computer is higher.

Fortunately, this family should be a group of people who went to hibernate earlier, the computer model is relatively old, there is no fingerprint lock, just a regular password, half an hour later, Qiao Yiyu used the military portable computer she brought to decipher, Han Le found a TV program that does not need to access the Internet, but can understand the outside world, and the long-lost CCTV is inserting a wanted notice - the three photos in it are the three of them, in the news, their crime is espionage, theft of state secrets.
