Yang Jia felt like he was having another dream.

But this dream was disorganized and bizarre, more like fragments than a complete dream. This situation was familiar to her. It was the last time she entered the system data space and was indoctrinated with that information. The situation was not much different from now.

Did the system do something to me again?

This thought flashed through his mind, but soon Yang Jia's subjective consciousness weakened and he immersed himself in the "dream".

After the initial chaotic fragments faded, the rest of the story gradually became clearer. The first profound image was of five or six-year-old Yang Jia kneeling in front of a black and white photo frame. A large hand reached out from behind and placed it on her head. "Mom has gone far away. From now on, it's just Jia Jia and Dad together."

Yang Jia turned his head with red eyes and buried himself in the broad arms behind him.

Although five or six years old, she was already old enough to know a lot in this information-rich world. She was still a bit confused about death, but she was not completely ignorant.

The days that followed were uneventful. Although her father treated her well, he was a man after all, and his thoughts were not as delicate, so he was not as thoughtful as others. As the little girl grew older, the gap between father and daughter widened. Although they cared about each other, they did not know how to express it, which only made their relationship increasingly tense.

Especially the father is very busy. He is not at home almost half of the time in a week. Even if he comes back occasionally, he comes and goes in a hurry. Apart from asking a question or two about the children's homework and giving them more living expenses, he doesn't take care of anything else.

In such circumstances, little Yang Jia, who was often alone, naturally developed a habit of silence. When she was alone, she always had to find something to do. At first, Yang Jia used this time to miss her mother, but she soon realized that no matter how much she missed her mother, she would never come back.

Yang Jia began to leaf through the books in her mother's room. She was a brilliant biologist, so the books she left behind were naturally precious and profound. At such a young age, Yang Jia couldn't understand much, but even so, she kept flipping through them again and again.

In this process, the love and affection for the mother did not fade with the passage of time, but instead grew stronger day by day.

In the end, she chose the same industry as her mother.

The learning process was tedious and long, but whenever she felt like she couldn't hold on, Yang Jia would look through the things her mother left her, and she would be filled with courage and motivation again. In the end, she graduated with excellent grades and successfully obtained a place on Hope Star.

Initially, her father hadn't objected to her choice. After all, he wasn't exactly a competent father; as long as she liked it, that was fine. It wasn't until he learned she'd signed up for Hope Star that he voiced his objection. The two had a huge argument, but it ultimately led to a conversation that ultimately led to them sharing their issues and reconciling, crying together.

But leaving the program he had already signed up for was impossible. Ultimately, Yang Jia boarded a spaceship bound for outer space, leaving behind his beloved home to carry on his mother's legacy and pursue a career that interested him.

…

Yang Jia woke up.

She knew she was awake, but her mind and body were numb, as if she was completely unable to react. She couldn't open her eyes or even move a little finger.

It feels a bit like being in a vegetable state.

Everything was pitch black, and the surroundings seemed exceedingly quiet. Yang Jia wasn't sure if it was because her hearing had deteriorated or simply because of the surroundings. She remained silent for a moment, still only able to hear her own breathing, but she could finally sense that she was lying down.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, which had previously been slow to react, a flood of information quickly flooded her mind, filling it up in an instant. She remembered searching for the last plant outside the city, but unfortunately, she contracted a virus. She managed to hold on for a while before she fell down the mountain due to her absent-mindedness.

Yang Jia’s mind was hazy about what happened after that, and he didn’t remember it very clearly, but he had a general impression of it.

She must have stumbled upon that last plant and picked it, thus completing her quest. However, she was completely dazed at the time and had no idea what the reward was. And then… then she seemed to have a dream.

But it seemed different from an ordinary dream. Because generally speaking, after waking up from a dream, most of the content will be forgotten, and as time goes by, more and more content will be forgotten, and in the end, only a general idea will be remembered.

But Yang Jia is not like this now.

She clearly remembered everything that happened in the dream. She didn't notice it when she wasn't thinking about it, but as soon as she recalled it, she found that part of the content was extremely clear, as if she had really experienced it. Although there were still some details that were vague, the logic was strict and the clues were clear, which was completely different from a dream.

Moreover, this dream was not like the previous one where it seemed as if a bystander was watching everything, but Yang Jia was experiencing it personally.

This dream was quite long. When Yang Jia recalled what happened in it, he found that it was consistent with what Li Bai had said to him before. He felt that maybe it was something that really happened.

It wasn't a dream at all. Just like the last time she entered the data space, she gained the memories of another person.

But this person is also called Yang Jia.

But this wasn't the person Li Bai had told her about before, Li Bai was certain of that. Because in this dream, she never saw Li Bai from beginning to end, nor had she even heard of such a person. Even when it came to extraterrestrial development, the Chinese region wasn't the dominant force.

Yang Jia took a deep breath, making sure she couldn't move for the time being, and began to ponder the dream. The first part was fine, and while she remembered it clearly, it wasn't very useful to her. After all, she was an NPC, and it was impossible for her to suddenly become a human. But the part about the Hope Star later on...

At that time, the Hope Star Base was newly established, with a harsh environment, inadequate equipment, and extremely difficult conditions. However, a group of young people dedicated to their ideals and science took root here and began a series of research.

Everyone knew what the discovery of a new planet meant to the humans living on Earth, a harsh environment. So, despite the dullness of life here, everyone who signed up, with their deep love for their country and humanity, and their profound passion for science, immersed in the research, naturally found it less daunting.

But they didn't know that at this time, the government was hiding something from them.

At that time, a virus had already broken out on Hope, the first generation of the DIE virus. However, after a large number of people were killed, in order to avoid causing a shock and shaking people's hearts, the government at the time took high-pressure measures and covered up the incident.

Naturally, there was no freezing base at that time, and none of the first group of infected people survived.

Later documents provide a vague account of this period, as most of those involved have died, and those who remain hold positions of authority and remain entrenched in secrecy. Consequently, the general public, even those from aristocratic families like Li Bai and Bai Ting, remain largely unaware of the events. Because the establishment of the freezing base is obscured, they only vaguely know that none of the first generation of infected survived.

It was during Yang Jia's dream that the second-generation virus broke out. This time, the scale of the outbreak was even larger and the virus was even more difficult to control. The cover-up finally became impossible, and to appease the researchers on Planet Hope, Earth established a cryogenic base on the moon, promising that all infected people would be sent there to be kept alive in the cold until a vaccine was developed.

And the Yang Jia in this dream actually participated in the research and development of the second-generation vaccine!

During the research on the second-generation vaccine, she and her colleagues discovered some phenomena and achieved some results after in-depth research. However, the virus was evolving at a much faster rate than human research progress, so the third-generation virus soon broke out. Unfortunately, she was infected this time and was eventually sent to the lunar base.

The dream ends here.

Now Yang Jia thought about it carefully and became more certain that this could not be just a dream, but the life of another person with the same name and surname. But she couldn't figure out how all this information came into her mind, or how she ended up in this dream.

Could it be possible that Li Bai's previous nonsense was true? She was actually just a human, but somehow she had forgotten her identity and memories, and only considered herself a mutated NPC?

This sounds really ridiculous.

If it were before, Yang Jia would have dismissed it as heresy without hesitation, but now she was a little unsure.

In the dream, the final scene was Yang Jia lying in a hibernation chamber in the frozen base. As the hatch closed, countless life-sustaining devices activated and automatically connected to her. Then, everything went dark. As the various instruments whirred around, her thoughts and actions seemed to be severely restricted. Finally, she sank into a coma, losing consciousness and awareness.

Just like now.

A guess came to Yang Jia's mind that even she herself couldn't believe: Could she be lying in the hibernation chamber now?

The author has something to say: System: Your friend Yang Jia has gone offline.
