last human

3027 years.

Shi Yan clutched the white medical record bag and wandered aimlessly on the busy street. Yesterday he was still happy to become a full-time employee, but today he got the diagnosis report.

Yes, he was diagnosed with liver cancer. At the age of 23, he was diagnosed with liver cancer, which was still at an advanced stage. It was ridiculous and absurd, but such absurd things happened to him.

The doctor said that he could live for at most three months. Heh, before he felt the beauty of life, his life was coming to an end. Was it God’s will playing tricks on people, or did he do all the bad things in his previous life to have such good luck in this life?well……

Shi Yan's face was lifeless, as if he would fall to the ground in the next second and die at any moment.In the crowd of people coming and going around, everyone seemed to have a smile on their face, but he... was alone with a bitter face, and he didn't even know what a smile was.

He walked to the bench at the nearby bus stop and sat down, wanting to take another look at the road he passed by every day to work, and to take another look at the beautiful world he was nostalgic for...

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew in front of him, and the dust and paper scraps on the ground were rolled up.

An old newspaper was blown onto Shi Yan's face by the wind. Shi Yan squinted his eyes and took the newspaper off his face. He was about to throw it into the trash can beside him when he caught a glimpse of the words "Freezing Plan" on the newspaper. .

He retracted the hand that was in mid-air, he returned to the bench and sat down, and opened the old newspaper.

[The first batch of human cryonics program has been launched, and the first batch of volunteers are now recruited. Requirements: 1. Suffering from incurable cancer. 2. No relatives. 3. Voluntarily participate in the freezing plan. ]

Freezing plan? ? ?Isn't that the kind of scientific feat that has been in the news for the past few months?Are you recruiting volunteers now?

Shi Yan still remembers that at that time, he joked to his colleagues that this research was difficult to realize, because no one would really freeze themselves, even if they could be resurrected after a few years, so what?At that time, relatives and friends are long gone, so what is the meaning of resurrection?

But now the fact is: he really wants to live, regardless of whether he can be cured in the future.

He clenched the newspaper tightly in his hand, staring straight at the address signed behind, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Participating may have a chance of life, if not participating... then you can only wait for death slowly.

Does cancer require chemotherapy in the end?Are they all going bald?He doesn't want it, it's too ugly.

Hurry up and join this plan before he starts losing his hair. Even if he doesn't survive in the future, at least he still has hair, and he can be regarded as dead.

After making up his mind, Shi Yan took a picture of the institute's address and phone number with his mobile phone.

I wanted to enjoy it before I die like the people in the novel, but I checked the balance on my card...

Forget it, I can't afford it, and there is not much money left in total.

Shi Yan quit his job, packed a few clothes, took his certificate and medical certificate and went to the research institute.

There was a person standing alone at the entrance of the depressed institute. Shi Yan stared at the gate of the institute and fell into deep thought. Why is there no one here?

For a while, he wondered if he had gone the wrong way, and after checking and checking the address repeatedly, he confirmed that it was really here.

He stood at the entrance of the institute, neither entering nor entering, but fortunately a staff member passing by the entrance saw him.

"My friend, are you going to come in?" The staff pushed the door open and looked at Shi Yan several times.

"Uh...well, I didn't see anyone there, so I didn't dare to go in." Shi Yan explained the reason why he stood outside.

"You... are here to find friends?"

Shi Yan shook his head, he said: "I... I am a volunteer who came to participate in the Freezing Project."

"What did you say?" The staff members widened their eyes in surprise, with a look of disbelief.

The other party's voice was very loud, startling Shi Yan, and he even wondered if he had said something wrong.

Shi Yan: "I... I will be a volunteer."

"Are you talking about the freezing plan?" The staff grabbed Shi Yan's hand excitedly.

"Yeah, isn't it here?" Shi Yan showed confusion, the address in the newspaper was right here.

"Yes, yes, come in with me." Before Shi Yan could react, he was dragged into the research institute by the staff member.

"You wait here first, I'll go find the professor." The staff pulled Shi Yan to a place in the institute to sit down.

"Okay." Shi Yan nodded slightly.

The other party ran away in a hurry, and his excited voice of calling 'Professor' echoed in the corridor.

After about ten minutes, the staff member came back.

"Come on, I'll take you to the professor."

"Oh good." Shi Yan followed the staff with the documents and backpack.

This institute is very big, but it doesn't seem like there are many people there. He only saw two people in the first ten minutes of sitting there.

After wandering around for a long time, I finally stopped in a room next to the "Frozen Experimental Meeting Room". The staff knocked on the door lightly, and only pushed the door open when the people inside responded with "Enter". .

"Professor, this is the volunteer who came to participate in the cryonics program."

The people inside cast excited glances at Shi Yan one after another, but after seeing Shi Yan's appearance clearly, their gazes turned into disappointment.

In the next second, one of the oldest researchers scolded Shi Yan: "You are so young, why come here to join in the fun, this is not something you can play, Shen Ci, see off the guests."

"But it took a long time..." the staff member who led Shi Yan in said with great reluctance.

"Nonsense, have you forgotten the recruitment conditions of our volunteers in outer space?"

"I'm all in line!" Shi Yan said hastily, he was afraid that he would really be kicked out.

"What did you say?" The other party looked at Shi Yan with complicated eyes.

"I've just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The doctor said I won't live for three months. And I'm an orphan with no relatives. If you don't believe me, I can show you the diagnosis report." Shi Yan walked over and put the information in his hand. on the table.

"Professor, it's not too late to take a look first, anyway, no one else is here." Shen Ci said to help from the side.

The professor stared at the information on the table for a while, and finally decided to pick it up and take a look.

The first piece of information was the diagnosis report. The professor looked at the report with a complicated expression, frowning, and a serious face. After a while, he flipped through the information on the back.

Shi Yan watched the professor's expression nervously, only to see the professor sighed slightly, and said regretfully, "God is so unfair to suffer from this disease at such a young age."

Hearing what the professor said, Shi Yan almost burst into tears. He also felt that God was unfair. He is still so young, why should he bear all this?

"Our technology has only reached the stage of freezing and thawing. It can only temporarily freeze people. In the end, it depends on whether someone will be able to find a way to heal you in the future. Would you like to participate in this?" the professor said. His eyes are much gentler.

"I...I would like to, anyway, I'm going to die. I might have a chance to be cured after being frozen."

"Go back and think about it for a few days. Don't make a decision so quickly. No one knows what the future world will be like." The professor handed the information back to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan didn't accept the information, he said firmly, "No need, I've been thinking about it for many days, I don't want to wait any longer."

In fact, he was also afraid that he would regret it. He was a weak person.

"Then do you have any unfulfilled wish? The institute will do everything in its power to help you fulfill it."

"No, it's just..." Shi Yan hesitated to speak, he didn't know if, as a volunteer, he could make conditions with the research institute.

"But it doesn't matter," said the professor.

Shi Yan: "After freezing, if there is no cure, can you not thaw me out, just let me sleep like this, at least I don't have to endure the pain of chemotherapy."

"Yes." The professor nodded.

"Then I'm fine."

"Okay, Shen Ci, you can take him to the lounge to rest first, we still have a meeting." The professor said to Shen Ci who was standing beside him.

"Okay, professor. Sir, come with me first." Shen Ci smiled slightly at Shi Yan.

"it is good."

On the way, Shi Yan couldn't help asking Shen Ci curiously: "Are there so few people here?"

"This is the most authoritative research institute in the country. It is the only cryonics research institution certified by the country. The researchers are also the best in the scientific community. General researchers are not qualified to come here, so there are naturally fewer people." Shen Ci Walk and talk.

"Then you are amazing, you can work here." Shi Yan said enviously.

"I'm the worst guy here, so I can only be an assistant."

"That's amazing. Others don't have a chance to come here to sweep the floor. You can still be an assistant."

Shen Ci was amused by him, and he said: "You have such a good attitude, you can still laugh like this. If I know that I have cancer, I must be very sad."

Shi Yan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said with a wry smile: "I'm also very sad, and I don't want to die, so I came here."

Shen Ci stopped, showing a surprised expression, and he said: "Don't you know? The freezing plan is actually equivalent to sending you to death in advance, because no one can guarantee whether you will wake up in the future, and there is a certain chance that you will die during the freezing process." die straight away."

"Really? It doesn't matter, it's all dead anyway, isn't it?" Shi Yan shrugged and forced a smile.

The two continued to walk.

"Since the recruitment, no volunteer has come over. You are the first, and you are very brave." When Shen Ci looked at it, Yan's eyes were full of admiration.

"Thank you." Only he knows that he is not brave, he is just afraid of death, even if there is only a chance, he wants to try.

"Here we are." Shen Ci suddenly stopped.

"Are you there?" Shi Yan looked around, and in front of Shen Ci was a door that said lounge No. 3.

"Well, you can rest here. When it's time for dinner at night, I'll come and call you. You can think about it carefully." Shen Ci entered the password and opened the door of the lounge.

"Well, thank you." Shi Yan took the bag and walked into the lounge. The lounge is very simple, with only a bed and a table, and an LCD TV hanging on the wall.

"Then you can rest, the password of the door is 112233, if you are bored, you can go out for a walk."

"Okay, you're busy, bye." Shi Yan waved to Shen Ci.
