Chapter 1246: Chapter 60 Heroes
April 17…
Lin Xian felt a sense of disorientation listening to this extraordinarily coincidental date.
Once again, fate has placed him at a crossroads.
If he were to go to the future to avoid virus infection…
He would even…
be unable to even take a look at his daughter’s face or hold her small body…
He pursed his lips and softly asked:
“Can the due date be calculated so precisely?”
“Of course, it can’t be absolutely accurate.”
Zhao Yingjun smiled:
“It could be a couple of days early or late, but the doctor said that the likelihood of it being late is small; little Yu Xi’s actual weeks are a bit on the higher side.”
“The exact day she’ll be born depends on the child and the delivery’s smoothness, but the doctor’s recomndation is that we should go to the hospital for delivery preparation on the 15th; a private room has already been reserved for us.”
Lin Xian nodded, not saying a word.
He had been looking forward to his daughter’s arrival for so long, but now… pulled between various responsibilities and burdens, his mood was complicated and couldn’t quite find happiness.
“What’s wrong?”
Zhao Yingjun blinked, looking at Lin Xian:
“Did sothing… happen?”
She felt from the start that sothing was off with Lin Xian, just assud it was his exhaustion from working day and night, but now it seems… the matter is not that simple.
She is Lin Xian’s wife, the closest person to Lin Xian in the world, and also the most understanding of him, living with him day in and day out.
Thus.
Lin Xian’s thoughts cannot be hidden from her.
She could tell at a glance…
Lin Xian has encountered a very difficult situation; this matter makes it hard for him to decide.
“Indeed, did that novelist Maima recall so key clue?”
Lin Xian nodded:
“I didn’t plan on hiding it from you, Yingjun, this is sothing you should know.”
He lifted his head:
“Rember the novel I ntioned earlier, ‘The Heaven Devourer Emperor’? The plot in it, as I suspected, isn’t nonsense, but indeed has a real-life prototype, a true event that occurred…”
Subsequently, Lin Xian revealed everything Maima said.
The Hibernation Suppression Virus created by Gauss, its global outbreak on April 17, the 200-year prohibition against hibernation era, and… the unshakable human extinction world line locked by Einstein, created by several geniuses together.
Zhao Yingjun listened silently.
Halfway through, she already had her hand clenched tightly, her expression grave.
Finally…
Lin Xian finished speaking.
A long silence ensued between them.
From the next room VV’s snores floated over, uneven, sotis pausing.
Zhao Yingjun is smart and naturally understands… what Lin Xian ant by these matters.
She bit her lower lip.
Wanting to speak several tis but holding back.
Not knowing what to say.
She could understand Lin Xian’s discomfort and comprehend his choices.
Currently.
Only 6 days remain until the big outbreak of the Gauss virus, and there’s no ti for anything.
Regardless of the thod, choosing to stay ans inevitably getting infected with the virus, losing the ability to go to the future… and missing the Ti Shuttle Machine, the year 1952, saving Millennium Stakes, and being left with the end of the world.
But if he chooses to enter the Hibernation Pod ahead of ti, preserving the possibility of the future, it ans he must leave his family, friends, this era… and then venture to the future alone, without even a chance to see Yu Xi.
After April 17, inside and outside the Hibernation Pod, they are separated by life and death.
Two hundred years later, when people inside wake up, all their known friends would have long passed away.
The era is unfamiliar,
The world is unfamiliar,
No support, no family, no friends.
This is no different than “ti-space execution,” just like… Zhao Yingjun turned into a White Jade Statue in the Third Dreamland.
“You…”
Ultimately, Zhao Yingjun spoke:
“What are your thoughts?”
“I don’t know.”
Lin Xian candidly said.
He lowered his head, elbows resting on his knees, hands covering his eyes, softly saying:
“I thought of many possibilities, like having Jask or Liu Feng go to the future in my stead to use the Ti Shuttle Machine, then use Space-Ti Particles to go to 1952 to complete the mission on my behalf, rescue Chu Anqing, and save humanity’s future.”
“But… such a thought is too irresponsible, clearly the promise to Chu Shanhe was made by , and they don’t have the ability to dream about 600 years into the future world, information feedback and intelligence gathering are extrely passive.”
“I can’t bet this possibility on others because if anything goes wrong at any point, the cost is imnse, irreparable.”
“I also thought of another possibility, to have Liu Feng hibernate until 2482, then find Cheng Qian, revive VV, and try to create a biological USB drive to send back antivirus software using Space-Ti Particles to 2025 now, to revive VV in this era, and attempt to save the future world in a limited lifeti, eliminating that World-Ending White Light…”
“It’s not feasible, Lin Xian.”
Zhao Yingjun shook her head, directly dismissing this guess:
“How can you be sure Liu Feng will find Cheng Qian, definitely be able to create antivirus software, manufacture the biological tech USB, and successfully travel back to 2025?”
“Everything in your plan is built on the foundation of [hypothetical smoothness], now the world line has shifted, what Einstein said before no longer counts… who can guarantee that this Entangled State of Ti-Space Particle can be safely preserved until 2482 for Liu Feng to use?”
“Right now, everyone is unaware of the Entangled State of Ti-Space Particle’s importance, even many people know of its existence, still it’s manageable. But… after the Ti Shuttle Machine’s invention in 2234, surely more people will understand Space-Ti Particles, coming to seize Entangled State of Ti-Space Particles.”
