I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 869 Hu Le Likes to Drink Coke

"..."

"Hu Le, did you play games all night again last night?" The team leader asked helplessly as he looked at the sleepy Hu Le.

"Ah?" Hu Le scratched his head.

He did play games all night last night, but that had nothing to do with what he wanted to say.

"Team leader, dreams are like cola... They are essentially bubbles. Colorful bubbles sparkle on the black liquid droplets, and vortices carry sweetness and water vapor toward the brain. In the end, everything becomes part of the cola."

After Hu Le finished speaking, he was a little surprised. How could he have such an idea in his mind?
It seemed that he had been very sure of this view since he woke up, and he didn't even have a trace of doubt. Even though this view was extremely absurd, he believed it without a doubt.

"Did someone put something in my head?"

Hu Le immediately realized that something was wrong. He looked at the team leader carefully, then glanced at the other members who were staring at him.

"Uh... I just woke up and was talking nonsense. Don't mind me. Hahaha."

He made an apologetic gesture to the team leader, whose face was already filled with black lines, and then hurriedly sat back down...

"What was I doing?"

After he regained consciousness, he realized how shameful his behavior was.

While everyone else was attending the meeting seriously, he not only fell asleep, but also acted confused after waking up. Not only did he interrupt the team leader's speech, but he also said a lot of nonsense.

Fortunately, the team leader had given him face and didn't let him get out.

"What's wrong with me? Am I too busy at work? Too stressed? Is there something wrong with my brain?" Hu Le rubbed his temples and suppressed the strange ideas that kept popping up in his mind.

"I haven't been busy at work lately..."

The security robot project is already in the final stages. Now they just need to issue some reports based on the actual test results, and the project will be over. The recent work of their robot research group has been to hold meetings, write reports, hold meetings, and write reports...

There is no urgency from the higher-ups. The project has already been put into use, so the leaders basically won't push us any further. These reports are just to go through the process.

If it’s not a problem at work, then it’s a problem in life.

"Maybe I've been too indulgent recently."

He has been staying up late playing games for several days in a row, perhaps to avenge the days of overtime work. He plays games so hard that he forgets to eat and sleep, as if he wants to make up for the entertainment he had during that period.

This is why he fell asleep during the meeting...

Thinking of this, Hu Le lowered his head in embarrassment. He could still feel the other team members occasionally glancing at him with mocking eyes.

"It's embarrassing..."

Reluctantly, he opened the Coke in his hand and gulped down the liquid.

Drinking Coke is a common way for him to relieve stress.

When I worked overtime before, I relied on Coke to get through it.

Although drinking too much Coke is not good for you, it is at least much healthier than smoking and drinking, and it is not so addictive.

“I feel like I’m still a little addicted…”

Now, Hu Le almost drinks Coke as water. When he usually drinks plain water, it has no sweetness and he always feels like something is missing.

"I have to slowly stop taking this. I've gained a lot of weight recently."

Hu Le touched his round belly and sighed.

"Wait, where did this can of Coke come from?"

He suddenly realized something was wrong, as if the can of Coke had been in his hand since he woke up.

"I don't remember holding a Coke in my hand before."

He looked at the can of Coke in his hand in confusion. As someone who often drank Coke, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

“When was this packaged?”

The can of Coke in front of him had a very trendy packaging and a very unique style, completely different from the packaging he usually drank. "When have I ever bought Coke in this packaging?"

As a veteran Coca-Cola consumer, he couldn't remember when this packaging was launched.

Is it new packaging?

He took out the electronic screen, took a picture of the Coke in his hand, and then began to recognize the image.

Soon, the search results came out...

"No?"

This is a packaging that has never appeared before?

Hu Le was stunned for a moment. He thought it was some kind of promotional packaging, which was quite rare. Unexpectedly, the Coca-Cola Company had never produced such packaging.

"Is it fake Coke? That's impossible. Who would fake Coke?"

Moreover, this Coke doesn't taste fake. Hu Le has drunk so much Coke that any subtle difference cannot escape his taste buds. If it is really possible to fake it to this extent, why use a packaging that has never appeared before?

He looked at the packaging and suddenly thought of something. He quickly raised the Coke can and looked at the bottom of the bottle.

"Date of manufacture..."

The moment he saw the production date, Hu Le's eyes widened and he exclaimed:

"Twenty years later!?"

Hu Le's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. They looked at Hu Le, who was holding a Coke can with a dazed look on his face. Finally, someone couldn't hold back his laughter and laughed softly.

"Hu Le!"

The team leader finally couldn't stand it anymore. The meeting was interrupted twice by this kid.

The team leader walked down directly and slapped Hu Le on the forehead angrily.

"go out!"

"Team Leader, this Coke is the Coke of 20 years later, look at it!"

The team leader didn't even want to look at what was happening. He just pulled Hu Le up from his chair and threw him outside.

"boom!"

The door closed, and Hu Le stood outside it blankly, holding the can of Coke from twenty years later in his hand.

As a result of this, the Coke had splashed out of the can. He subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked up all the spilled Coke.

Then he realized something was wrong and slapped himself.

"Why can't you keep your mouth shut?"

No one knows what problems will arise after drinking this "Future Cola" of unknown origin.

After being kicked out, he carefully confirmed the date again.

"It's really twenty years later... Is it a printing error?"

Probably not. The appearance of this Coke was too strange. It appeared in his hand right after he woke up, and many strange thoughts appeared in his mind.

“This Coke, and those ideas, all come from the same place.”

Where did it come from? In a dream?
Hu Le thought back to what happened just now and it seemed like he had indeed gone to a certain place in his dream.

Maybe, this Coke was brought from that place.

"Did I go to the future? Twenty years from now?"

Looking at the date on the Coke can, Hu Le suddenly realized something. He hurried back to the office, opened his drawer, and took out a research notebook.

"The time when the dream energy in the security robot became unstable was... twenty years. The production date of this can of Coke was also twenty years ago. Could something have happened twenty years later to bring this can of Coke to the present?"
