Chapter 1136 439: Fifteen Years Like a Song
This permanent farewell wasn't dramatic but filled with calm exchanges.
Sun Miao chose to stay firm.
Ren Zhong chose to move forward.
Facing a brief life, in pursuit of the same goal, the two ventured in different directions.
But they would surely meet again at the end.
...
When Ren Zhong awoke from his Quicksand Level Frozen Storage, nearly fifteen years had passed, and there was only a month left until the Great Migration.
Fifteen years ago, he took care of all posthumous matters and made the most thorough arrangements.
Then, he entrusted his and the revolution's fate to the battle partners he nurtured over five years, forming a team.
He also prepared a backup plan that, when faced with insurmountable challenges and crises, he could be awakened.
If he personally took action, he was certain he'd turn things around.
But perhaps due to fortune, or perhaps every comrade within Ren Group exerted their utmost effort, everyone's endeavors were merely to let Ren Zhong enjoy a long-awaited restful sleep, or to preserve some more time for Ren Zhong's limited life, ultimately, Ren Zhong and his comrades succeeded.
He slept soundly, waking from the passage of time to see the world dynamics he wished to see.
...
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
Next to Ren Zhong's frozen chamber, one after another chamber was sequentially opening.
Friends and family in form-fitting suits were gradually sitting up from inside.
In the chambers adjacent to Ren Zhong were Ju Qingmeng and Ma Xiaoling. Chen Hanyu was at a somewhat further distance.
At the moment, both of them felt drowsy, their eyes closed tightly, actions sluggish, each using their hands to hold the sides of the frozen chambers, steadily adjusting their breathing.
Their cardiovascular and brain functions were gradually reviving.
Moments later, both of them began to turn their heads and exchanged smiles after a brief gaze.
Afterward, their eyes fell on Ren Zhong's frozen chamber.
At this moment, Ren Zhong's cover was slowly being lifted.
He was the first to awaken but the last to move, not due to poor physical condition, but he spent minutes simulating current possibilities in his mind.
As Ren Zhong sat up, Ju Qingmeng who had gotten up first already opened a small storage box beside her frozen chamber and took out a letter, handing it to him.
"We discovered this letter while sorting Sun Miao's belongings."
When Ren Zhong took the letter, his hand trembled slightly but quickly regained composure, "When did this happen? Why wasn't I informed?"
"Five years ago. Before he died, he instructed not to awaken you. He said everything he wanted to tell you was written inside. His dying words were 'A real man should die decisively, once breath stops just burn, there's no need for any living and parting farewells.'"
"Is that so? Truly Sun Bro's style. Did Sun Bro leave any descendants?" Ren Zhong forced a smile.
Ju Qingmeng shook her head solemnly, "No. According to the people at the Biological Research Institute, he attempted a few times but said the genetic matching results weren't ideal, they wouldn't be very smart grown up, wasting resources, so he didn't let those embryos continue to develop. He also said his own high intelligence gene is a mutation, getting Sun Ai is already lucky enough, one shouldn't ask for more."
"I see." Ren Zhong nodded, looking again at the envelope.
On the envelope, a line of scribbled, crooked characters read, "To Ren Zhong, do not peek."
Just these eight words and a punctuation mark fully displayed Sun Miao's astonishing mastery of postmodern abstract calligraphy art.
Sun Bro's calligraphy was shockingly hideous, unprecedented and unmatched.
Pfft!
Ren Zhong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
...
"By the time you see this letter, I would probably have been dead for some years. Let me briefly talk about what I've been doing over the years, I've taken sixty-plus students at Starfire Academy, taught them my stuff. These students are about the level of your Dragon Slayer Camp, but none can match Sun Ai, what a pity. But thankfully, my project can continue without pause."
"I recall long ago Sun Ai once told me that you can foresee the future. I believed it too for a time. But now, not sure why, perhaps people have a particularly active brain when near death, I can't help but analyze and scrutinize this matter. I think merely foreseeing the future isn't accurate, can you somehow turn back time?"
