Chapter 134 Hibernation

Zhou Cheng knew that Liu Yu had always wanted to have a child of her own.

Unfortunately, it seems this cannot be accomplished, at least not in the short term.

"Let's go."

Liu Yu hid his emotions very well, still with a smile on his face, and didn't seem sad at all.

Zhou Cheng gently held her hand and said, "It's okay, we can have our own children in the future.

Even though the spacecraft didn't return, that's okay. It's equipped with a hibernation chamber. Once we complete our mission and deal with this disaster, I'll hibernate on Mercury, and you can hibernate on Earth. Once human civilization develops, you can bring me back from Mercury, and we can reunite."

Liu Yu knew that this so-called hibernation chamber was only a semi-finished product. No, not even a semi-finished product.

Human civilization has never mastered hibernation technology. The so-called hibernation chambers of today are merely experimental chambers left over from humanity's heyday.

Since their creation, these test chambers have only been used for hibernation experiments on monkeys and apes, never for human simulations. Furthermore, none of the monkeys and apes involved in the experiments have been able to awaken from hibernation.

At this moment, carrying a hibernation chamber on the spacecraft, leaving Zhou Cheng to hibernate after completing the mission, is just a psychological comfort measure no matter how you look at it.

But Liu Yu still had a smile on his face, as if full of confidence: "Okay, then we will wake up together."

Time passed slowly, and soon it was one and a half months before the launch window.

The first decision maker found Zhou Cheng and said, "You don't have to attend training for the next month. This month is your vacation. Be with your lover and do whatever you want."

"good."

Zhou Cheng left the space launch base.

Behind him, a huge rocket over 100 meters high is undergoing the final stage of debugging and will be launched soon.

This rocket wasn't the one Zhou Cheng was going to ride. It was a cargo transport rocket, responsible for transporting parts and supplies for the "Hope" spacecraft into Earth orbit.

Similar launches have been carried out many times in this period. A large amount of materials have entered space in this way, and then the astronauts assemble the spacecraft in space.

It is too big to fit on a rocket, so it can only be launched into space bit by bit and assembled there.

During this period, even Zhou Cheng went to space several times, personally participated in the assembly of the Hope spacecraft, and conducted zero-gravity space training.

After taking a deep look at the rocket, Zhou Cheng drove back home.

When he opened the door, Zhou Cheng saw that Liu Yu had already packed all the luggage.

She looked very excited, as if she had been looking forward to this trip for a long time.

The two of them took all the luggage into the car and then headed out of Dajing City.

Behind the car they were riding in, there were several off-road vehicles and two trucks that also had strong off-road capabilities.

Wei Ning will lead the special forces team and be responsible for all security, logistics and material supply work during the two people's trip.

One day later.

Bang!

With the sound of a gunshot, a deer suddenly fell down a hundred meters away. Liu Yu instantly jumped up from under the slope, shouting with joy.

Wei Ning and his companions quickly rushed over, carried the deer back, and praised it heartily, "Excellent marksmanship."

Several special forces members jumped off the truck, took out the barbecue grill, skillfully processed the venison, put it on the grill and started grilling.

After a while, an enticing fragrance emanated.

At night, under the bright lights, in the wilderness, a group of people gathered around the campfire and feasted.

A little later, Wei Ning and his group disappeared as if blending into the night. Even the car drove away, and no one knew where it went.

All that was left was a heavy, light-proof tent.

The night was as dark as water, and faint roars of beasts could be heard from the darkness.

But Zhou Cheng was not worried about his own safety at all, because he knew that Wei Ning and the others had not actually left, but continued to protect their safety.

They just hid themselves so as not to affect or disturb the two of them.

They quietly enjoyed the quiet of the night until late at night, when they both entered the tent.

The thick tent sealed all images and sounds inside, not allowing any sound to leak out to the outside world.

The next day, it was around ten o'clock before the two got up and unzipped the tent.

As if sending some kind of signal, less than ten minutes after the two left the tent, more than ten cars roared over. Wei Ning jumped out of the car, placed two breakfasts on the small table next to him, and asked, "Where are we going today?"

Zhou Cheng said, "Let's go over there and take a look at the grassland."

"Okay."

After dinner, the special forces members packed up and the convoy set off again.

In one month, Zhou Cheng and Liu Yu traveled all over the world.

Mountains, canyons, grasslands, beaches, ice and snow, there are countless places where the two people left their footprints.

Both of them tacitly buried the separation that would take place soon deep in their hearts, as if they had forgotten about that incident and were enjoying the beauty of the present.

A month passed quietly and the convoy finally returned to Dajing City.

The two returned to their familiar and warm home again.

Over the next few days, the two of them stayed together all day long and hardly even left the house.

Until one night.

That night, the two of them didn't fall into a deep sleep until around three in the morning.

Listening to Liu Yu's steady and gentle breathing beside him and confirming that she was asleep, Zhou Cheng opened his eyes and looked quietly at the ceiling in the dark.

He didn't feel sleepy at all at this moment.

This was the last night they would spend together. At daybreak, they would part ways.

The first ray of sunlight fell on the earth and the sun gradually rose.

After checking the time and looking at Liu Yu who was still sleeping soundly, Zhou Cheng gently got up, put on his clothes silently, and stood beside Liu Yu.

He looked at it carefully and seriously, as if he wanted to engrave this face in his heart.

After a long time, he bent down, gently kissed Liu Yu on the face, then turned around and left silently.

When the bedroom door closed gently, Liu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

She stood by the window, quietly looking out from behind the curtains. Then she saw Zhou Cheng pause downstairs, staring for a moment, then turning away and disappearing.

Zhou Cheng is gone.

Liu Yu fell to the ground weakly.

She leaned against the wall, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her head in her knees, and sobbed silently.

I can't keep him.

This task could only be done by him, because looking at the entire human world at that moment, only he had the willpower and knowledge required to complete this mission.

No one can replace him.

I, I can't keep him...
