The universe exists as a multiverse.
Butterfly wings in the Amazon rainforest may cause tornadoes in the U. S. Texian. The butterfly effect can exaggerate any small change to infinity. It could change the future.
Therefore, an understanding of the future is highly uncertain and relative.
Jiang Chen, Male, 23. A college student. He spent time after graduation as a sales associate at a clothing store but has since been in-PHK. The mounting financial pressure forces him to make a difficult decision: to find another job in Wang Hai City or to return to his hometown.
He said he didn't want to give up. Living in a large metropolis like Wang Hai was her dream since she was a child, and that was also what her parents expected. For someone who has not experienced the world, he wants to explore what the world has to offer.
However, he knew that the journey would be difficult. He intoxicated. This was the first time since graduation that he drank himself until he fainted. After he let out all his frustration and sadness, dizziness hit his head, and he instantly fainted. An unknown metallic object directly hit his arm and fused with it. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared. It was almost as if it had never existed in the first place.
Then, he discovered the special ability – time travel and dimensions
Of course, it took him several months before he realized it.
A strange-looking pattern surrounded his right wrist like a watch. If one were to examine it closely, the bracelet was shaped like a strange looking tattoo.
Then obviously something was wrong because he never had a tattoo. He did not know why he was chosen. However, he understood at that moment, this was an opportunity of a lifetime.
Time travel? Dimensional travel? He did not have enough knowledge to understand this strange phenomenon. But one time he was hit by electricity and felt completely healthy. It was then that he found the empty tattoo bar charged after absorbing about 100 volts of power. Then, meet the requirements to do “multiverse trip. ”Multiverse trip alone consumes half the energy. Therefore, charging 100 volts of electricity completely would allow for a round trip through time and dimensions at a cost of about 50 dollars. That's very economical. Not only did the tattoo have the ability to travel, but it also contained an alternate dimension that he could visit at any time. Therefore, it was a storage dimension measuring roughly one square meter. But due to spending energy on storing and retrieving items, Jiang Chen preferred to use a backpack to store items. If he was not careful and lost his way to replenish the energy in the apocalyptic world, then there was no way to go home.
Jiang Chen had a feeling that energy storage could be improved, including storage dimensions. Functionality can also be improved. He just doesn't understand how it is at the moment.
Charging is very simple. Jiang Chen only needed to insert his finger into the power outlet. While this is not aesthetic in any case, it is perfect for getting the job done. How does he know? As mentioned earlier, it was a coincidence.
The first time he traveled, he found himself in an abandoned residence. A dust-covered bed along with broken furniture signifies the timeliness of the place. He checked his surroundings as he began to inspect this old house. With information from half-broken storage tapes and old newspapers lying around, he gained a partial understanding of this world.
This world is a parallel universe similar to Earth. However, the technology is clearly much more advanced. High-rise buildings stretched across the landscape, but there was no trace of any civilization. Zombies and mutants occupy the once busy streets. Jiang Chen did not dare to go out without a weapon.
The time was 2190; the location was still Wai Hai City. However, the difference between the two time periods is day and night.
By 2150, global warming is rising. Excessive extraction leads to shortages in all types of resources. The economic crisis happened.
In 2164, a political crisis in Poland sparked a war between Europe and China. The red army began to attack westward. Global politics, as a result, is in a tense period. It is worth mentioning that in this parallel universe, the Soviet Union was not dissolved in 1991, hence global politics was divided into three organizations. First, a US-led alliance known as NATO, a Soviet-led Europa known as the CCCP, and lastly, China formed the PCA with Southeast Asian nations. The rest of the army remained independent.
In 2171, tensions in Europa escalated when the CCCP declared war on the PCA. Both sides accused the other of initiating the war that led to the start of the third world war.
In the same winter, China and Japan launched a naval war over the conflict in the South China Sea. NATO and the CCCP expressed cooperation as the blazes spread across Asia. That year, Mongolia experienced a political crisis that led to further escalation between the CCCP and PCA, with both sides amassing extraordinary weapons on the border.
In 2172, the first nuclear weapon was detonated by the CCCP in Paris, officially bringing the third world war into tactical nuclear warfare.
In 2173, this modern war is in a surprising stalemate. The whole world suffered a nuclear fallout because the inhabited ones, without a doubt, received significant destruction. Nuclear winter covers 80% of the land in the snow. No one thought that such an ironic cause would end global warming. Refugees, famine, disease are the symptoms of this modern war. It only took two years to completely destroy a human being. The total economic losses far outweighed the combined losses from previous world wars. Because of this, peace comes without a decisive victory for both sides. Everyone knows that if the war continues, no one will survive.
In New Year 2174, a peace treaty was negotiated and entered into force. "Habitat Revitalization Program" was established to eliminate nuclear impacts. All countries participate in the funding of this program.
In the fall of 2174, the United Nations announced the abortion of the "Habitat Revitalization Program" because the cells used to eliminate nuclear waste undergo uncontrolled mutations. At the same time, due to an attack by unknown militants, mutated cells began to spread to major cities. Infected humans turn into zombies, as human civilization enters a biological apocalypse. The law and order that once governed civilization, were destroyed within days.
In 2176, the United Nations sent six colony exploration ships to Kepler B at Alpha Centauri. These ships held the last hope for civilization. These ships were meant to plant seeds in the universe, in the hope of discovering a new world. However, this was completely irrelevant to humans who were still fighting on the ground.
In the same year, the United Nations was dissolved.
The information contained in the newspaper only lasted until 2176. The rest of the news came from ancient diaries. From the electronic clock still ticking in the drawer, the time is June 2190.
Coincidentally, the world he lived in was also June.
But in this timeline, civilization destroys itself in just five years
After he paused for a while, Jian Cheng chose to return to the modern world. There were too many unknown dangers so it was unwise to continue. First of all, he must be fully prepared.
After resting for two days, he bought a box of canned food, a box of sausages, and a box of instant noodles. Even if he did not consider staying in a dangerous place, he brought three days of food, just to be safe.
Zombies during the day seem to have lost most of their power. This facilitated exploration in the area, as Jian Cheng carefully stepped in the middle of the road. He dodged the concentrated area with the zombies before he found the mansion.
The high walls and the Iron Gate made it look very safe. The yellow grass on the ground made the place look quite worn. The marble statues near the gates are no longer known for their corrosion from acid rain. It is clear that the world is filled with pollution.
Why did he choose this place? The answer is pretty clear. A large house that looks rich will contain some valuable items.
To his surprise, he did not find anything of value, but he did find a girl who almost starved to death.
Perhaps it was because of the girl's beauty that caught her off guard, or because of her experience from the civilized world that made her not think of the possible danger. When he saw the despair in the girl's eyes, he looked extremely helpless. He took a bottle of water from his bag and gave it water slowly.
[Saving the girl is the most important priority because maybe she will marry me eventually?]
Immediately, Jiang Chen took out a curry chicken from his bag. After the girl smelled the scent from the can, the same skinny eyes stared at Jiang Chen who was full of despair. She herself was still a virgin, so there was no way she could resist the temptation, especially when a beautiful girl looked at her with watery eyes. He felt a surge of joy both spiritually and physically. So he took his spoon with a good heart and began to feed the girl with a flawless body.
After ... well, no more after.
Jiang Chen deeply regretted his decision.
The girl's actions accurately defined the story of the farmer and the snake.
After going through a few slices of bread and canned curry chicken, the girl pulled out the gun without hesitation. He attached a gun to Jiang Chen's forehead as Jiang Chen was electrocuted. He then skillfully tied her to a chair, as he interrogated Jiang Chen with what used to belong to the former owner of the house, whipping.
Now, Jiang Chen realized what it meant to carry a bag full of food. He was lucky that he met Sun Jiao who still had a conscience. If he instead met some cannibals or slave traders, he might end up as food or product.
Of course, Jiang Chen could always activate the tattoo and travel back, but that meant his greatest secret would be revealed. If this girl "camp in the open," then she could face even greater danger.
He does not want to give up “this treasure land”. ”
Also, it takes time to activate the time travel function. If the girl realizes that something is wrong, there is no guarantee that she will not pull the trigger.
He didn't want to take that risk. Fortunately, they were able to reach an agreement.
"How do you transport supplies here?" Sun Jiao asked confusedly in her voice while strengthening the external defense of the house.
“Of course my partner has a way to do it, you don't have to worry about that. '' Jiang Chen kept on nonsense.
Painting on the walls might be quite expensive, but of course, these artists had yet to exist in the world that Jiang Chen possessed. So this painting is useless. The mansion, however, does contain some very sophisticated electronics such as TV holograms and automatic cooking utensils. But he soon realized that nothing was working properly, so Sun Jiao quickly answered his confusion.
"Oh, these things ..." After the nuclear explosion, most of the electronics no longer work. But some parts are quite useful and valuable to the survivors.
Jiang Chen sighed as he gave up on this electronic sales plan in the modern world.
However, since this existed before, there must be someone who could manufacture this equipment again. Jiang Chen knew that if he traded with food, there would be many "geniuses" willing to work for him. In this apocalyptic world, these skills were almost worthless.
To those technologists, if it was not knowledge of high-end military weaponry, their lives were no different from someone living in a crumble.
Sun Jiao did not know what Jiang Chen saw in this mansion. Nevertheless, because her employer said that the work should be done, she did not refuse.
“Let me be honest here; there is not much value in reinforcing this structure. If we don't make a lot of noise, those brainless zombies won't find their way here. This area was also free from powerful mutants. It's a complete waste … "
“Enough, I don't prevent zombies. I know that if I don't bother those disgusting things, they won't bother me. I'm preventing intruders because I'm pretty sure you don't want your throat slit while you sleep. "He was babbling while staring at Sun Jiao loudly.
"Okay boss . “Sun Jiao rolled her eyes as she smashed the last nail into the forest. He wanted to argue that no one would bother getting into these buildings because they had obviously been looted.
Why he's here, that's the secret.
"Do you have a map of this place?" Jiang Chen crossed his legs as he sat on the moldy sofa. He did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for making a girl work this hard. Obviously it wasn't the most pleasant experience to have with a gun to his head.
Sun Jiao was well-versed in this type of work. He quickly reinforced the house with whatever materials he found.
“What is your EP? I can send it to you directly. ”
"EP?" Jiang Chen was confused.
“This is this thing. “Sun Jiao points at the computer on her arm. He grinned as if he heard a joke. "You don't have any?"
“. . . I can buy one, "Jiang Chen forced a smile. He felt uncivilized in front of this girl.
“It is difficult to imagine that you have the courage to explore the city without an EP. Are you afraid of radiation levels? ”Sun Jiao sighed as she pulled out what looked like a large electronic watch from her bag. He threw it at Jiang Chen. "Try it. ”
"It looks like a fitting ... where did you get it?" Jiang Chen playing with EP. He was amazed by the technological advances of this world, because EP was as light as a feather. The crystal screen displayed Jiang Chen's biological statistics. It appears to be a health monitor device.
“I found it from the body of an unlucky man. "Sun Jiao smirked. The smile was certainly pleasant, but it shivered Jiang Chen's spine as if he was just looking at a demon.
****
User Name: Jiang Chen
Muscle Strength: 12
Bone Strength: 10
Reflexes: 11
Brain Cell Power: 14
Radiation Level: 11 (Safe)
Status Irregular: None
****
A cold sweat appeared on his forehead when he saw the radiation level. He had almost forgotten that radiation filled the world from top to bottom. He's not clear what that means with radiation level 11, but he knew that before coming here, there was no way he could have been exposed to radiation.
"No one of your abilities exceeds 20 .. Come on, are you even a man?" Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen with an arrogant expression.
"Do you want to try?" Jiang Chen replied with a furious voice.
"I'm standing here, why don't you try?" Sun Jiao stepped onto the back of the sofa again, her eyes filled with defiance.
[There's no way I'm gonna let this go. Well, better stay calm. ]
Jiang Chen quickly admitted defeat. There was no way he could defeat this "civilized" girl. Even if the slim possibility becomes the fact that they are doing a hookup, he should prevent the girl from biting her penis. He was sure that he would do so, if given the chance.
For this kind of fun action, it would be more appropriate to do it in the modern world. If he had the money, the girls would follow.
For no apparent reason, someone appeared in Jiang Chen's head. A girl who fired him and made him lose his source of income. The girl who made life in Wai Hai City miserable. The girl who always held a little face* and a terrible attitude.
"What happened, my little boss, why did you suddenly fall silent?" Sun Jiao emphasized the word slightly as she looked at him mockingly.
"Nothing . I just remembered something from the past. ”
Sun Jiao, surprised by the calm voice that replied, felt a chill creep down on his spine. Although he was not afraid of a man who did not even reach 20 in the battle aspect, his years of battle instincts rarely lied.
Sun Jiao was smart to keep quiet. There is no reason to mention free food. Living without having to worry about food was something Sun Jiao had never imagined. The curry chicken was delicious. In this desert, it would be lucky to have a piece of bread. The majority of people here live off of the nutrient supply. Something that never makes you full, but keeps you alive.
Also, an immature boss seems like a sincere person.
Don't be confused, the word original has an adverse connotation in the desert. However, to his surprise, he preferred to spend time with “Master. Good People ”than desert people" normal ". At least he didn't have to worry about getting up and realizing that he was tied up.
He thought about it, and with his slightly broken lips, he let out a small but pleasant laugh.
"Madam, can't you laugh so badly?" He did not know why, although his smile was beautiful, it made Jiang Chen shiver.
"really?" Don't you think I'm very attractive? ”
"Whether I answer yes, or no .." murmured Jiang Chen while staring at that pretty face.
