The universe was multidimensional.
A butterfly in the Amazon jungle inadvertently flapped its wings. Perhaps in two weeks, it would create a tornado in Texas. Any small change, after being magnified infinitely, could create an impact that could change the future.
In other words, the future as we understand it is extremely unstable.
Jiang Chen, male, 23 years old, undergraduate. After graduation, he worked as a salesman in a clothing store, but he was fired. His shrinking wallet forced him to face a difficult choice: Should he continue to look for a job in Wanghai City, or should he return to his hometown to live?
To be honest, he didn't want to go back with his tail between his legs. To be able to live in a metropolis like Wanghai City was not only his wish, but it was also his parents' hope for him. How many people who haven't seen the world don't want to go out and see the world?
Even if he already knew that reality would make him depressed.
That night, he got drunk. It was the first time since graduation that he drank alone until he passed out. After venting out the grievances in his stomach, he vaguely felt as if his head had been hit by a stick, and he fainted. After the unknown metal object smashed into his wrist, it seemed to have merged with him and disappeared.
Then, he obtained an unimaginable ability — Transmigration!
Of course, it was a few months later that he discovered this strange ability.
The strange pattern wrapped around his right wrist like a watch. Even if you looked closely, you could only conclude that it was a strange tattoo.
Then the question was, Jiang Chen never had a tattoo before.
He didn't know why he was chosen, but he knew that his opportunity to reach the pinnacle of his life was here.
Space travel? Dimension travel? He didn't have enough professional knowledge to explain this unusual phenomenon. Because of an accidental electric shock, he discovered that after absorbing around 100 watts of electricity, the tattoo like slot on his wrist would be filled to the brim, and it would meet the requirements for "interdimensional travel." Interdimensional travel would consume half of the energy slot, which meant that 100 watts of electricity was enough for a round trip. The cost of interdimensional travel was only around 50 RMB, which was too cheap.
Also, the strange tattoo's ability was not limited to interdimensional travel. Jiang Chen accidentally discovered that this thing not only allowed him to travel to an unfamiliar world, but it also had an independent subspace! To put it simply, it was a storage space of around one cubic meter. But because it would consume a certain amount of energy to retrieve items from the subspace, Jiang Chen chose to use his backpack to carry items. Since if he didn't use the energy in the energy slot sparingly, if he couldn't find a way to replenish energy in the apocalypse, he wouldn't be able to come back.
Jiang Chen had a feeling that the energy slot could be upgraded, including the storage space. There should be some room for expansion, but he didn't know how to upgrade it.
As to how to charge it? The method was very simple. He just needed to insert his right finger into the socket … Although this method was crude, it was very effective. As to how Jiang Chen discovered this method, it was completely due to an accidental electric shock.
The first time he crossed over was in an abandoned house. From the dusty bed and the rotten wooden windowsill, he could tell that this house had not had a visitor for a long time. The first time he interdimensional traveled was in an abandoned house. From the dusty bed and the rotten wooden window sill, it was obvious that the house hadn't had a visitor for a long time. From the half-destroyed radio with storage function and the old newspapers, Jiang Chen managed to learn some information about this world.
From the half-destroyed radio with storage function and the old newspaper, Jiang Chen managed to learn some information about this world. It was a parallel world similar to Earth, but the technology was clearly ahead of Jiang Chen's side. The streets were filled with zombies and mutant creatures. Without a reliable weapon, Jiang Chen didn't dare to leave his house.
The streets were filled with zombies and mutant creatures. Without a reliable weapon, Jiang Chen didn't dare to leave his house. The time was 2190, and the location was still Wanghai City of the Hua Xia Republic.
But the Wanghai City here and the Wanghai City on Jiang Chen's side were two completely different.
In 2164, the Polish political crisis ignited the powder keg in Central Europe, and the Red regime began to advance westward. Affected by this, the global politics entered a state of extreme tension. It was worth mentioning that in this parallel world, the collapse of the Soviet Union didn't happen in 1991. Therefore, the world's political structure was divided into three extremes – the NATO Military Alliance (NATO) formed by the UA and its allies, the Central Eurasian Red Regime (CCCP) under the leadership of the Soviet Union, the Pan-Asia Cooperation (PCA) formed by Hua Xia and South Asian countries, and some peripheral countries remained neutral.
In 2171, the situation in Central Europe escalated. The Red Regime declared war on the Blue Regime. Both sides blamed the other side for the first shot, thus beginning the Third World War.
In the winter of the same year, the South Sea Incident broke out. China and Japan engaged in a naval battle in the South Sea. NATO declared war on the Pan-Asia Cooperation, and the Asian battlefield began. In the same year, Mongolia experienced a political crisis. The Red Regime and Hua Xia had a military conflict, forcing the two countries' military forces to confront each other at the border.
In 2172, the Red Regime detonated the first nuclear bomb in Paris, declaring the Third World War to enter the nuclear war stage.
In 2173, the modern war unexpectedly entered a stalemate. The entire world was affected by the nuclear radiation, and the ecological environment uncontrollably suffered devastating damage. The nuclear winter caused 80% of the earth's land to be covered in ice and snow. No one expected global warming to end because of such an ironic reason. War, famine, disease … This modern world war only took two years to exhaust almost all of the vitality of human civilization. The economic losses it caused far exceeded the sum of World War I and World War II. It was also because of this that peace came without a clear winner. Because everyone knew that if the war continued, no one would be left alive.
In the new year of 2174, the peace treaty officially took effect. The "Rebuilding the Biosphere" program was officially launched. The radiation removal program was jointly funded by all countries.
In the autumn of 2174, the International Union Organization announced the "Rebuilding the Biosphere" program was aborted. The radiation purifying fungus in development produced an uncontrollable mutation due to radiation. At the same time, due to the attack of unknown armed forces, the mutated bacteria spread on a large scale in the city. Humans infected by the mutated bacteria would turn into zombies. A global biochemical crisis broke out. As a result, all the institutions were paralyzed, and all the order collapsed in a single day.
…
In 2176, the International Union Organization launched six colonization ships to Planet Captan B in the Centaurus Constellation. They carried the hope of human civilization and sailed into space in search of a new home. But all of this had nothing to do with the people still struggling on the ground.
In the same year, the International Union Organization announced its disbandment.
The information recorded in the newspaper only lasted until the year 2176. The rest of the information was mostly from a yellowing diary. From the electronic watch that was still running in the drawer, it could be concluded that the current time was June 2190.
Coincidentally, it was also June in the modern world.
In just five short years, the human civilization in this World Line had buried itself with its own hands.
…
After a brief stay, Jiang Chen chose to return to the modern world. There were too many unknown dangers here. It was not a wise choice to explore without full preparation.
Jiang Chen rested for two days before he bought a box of canned food, a box of ham, and a box of instant noodles from the nearby supermarket. Out of caution, even if he didn't plan to spend the night in that dangerous place, he still brought three days' worth of food.
The strength of the zombies seemed to be greatly weakened during the day, which made it easier for Jiang Chen to explore the area. He carefully passed through the middle of the street, avoided the areas with more zombies, and found the mansion …
The tall wall and iron gate gave a sense of security, and the withered plants in the yard looked quite desolate. The relief on the marble pillar next to the main door was blurred by the acid rain. It was obvious that the pollution in this world was severe.
The stone structure didn't look like something out of a sci-fi. The previous owner of the mansion seemed to be a rich man who enjoyed life.
As to why he chose to explore this mansion, the answer was obvious. A rich man's home should have something valuable, right?
But what Jiang Chen encountered wasn't anything valuable, but a starving beauty.
Perhaps the beauty had numbed his vigilance, or perhaps Jiang Chen came from a civilized society and didn't think about the danger. In short, when he saw the breathless beauty looking at him with pleading eyes, he generously took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, put it next to the beauty's mouth, and gently fed it to her.
Saving people was more important … Hehe, would she repay him with her body? Ahem.
Then Jiang Chen took out the can of curry chicken. When the beauty smelled the aroma of the can, she still looked at Jiang Chen with her big, watery eyes full of pleading. Being stared at by a beauty like this, for Jiang Chen, who was still a virgin, was an indescribable pleasure both mentally and physically.
Jiang Chen enthusiastically took out a spoon and fed the hot, long-legged beauty the delicious food in the can bit by bit.
Then … there was no then.
Then Jiang Chen regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself.
The beauty's actions perfectly illustrated the story of the farmer and the snake.
After a can and a few buns went down her stomach, the beauty pulled out a pistol from her waist and pointed it at Jiang Chen's head. Before Jiang Chen could react, she had already tied him to the chair and took out the original owner's … Umm, it should be a sex toy – a whip. She began to interrogate Jiang Chen aggressively.
By now, Jiang Chen understood what it meant to walk on the street with a backpack full of food.
Fortunately, he met Miss Sun Jiao who had a bit of a conscience. If he met a cannibal or a slave trader, he would have been tied up like a dumpling and treated as food or merchandise.
Of course, Jiang Chen could also choose to activate the tattoo on his wrist and teleport back to the modern world. However, this also meant that his biggest secret was exposed. Once he was "corpse camped" by this woman, he would have to face greater danger.
He didn't want to give up on this "treasure land".
Also, activating the interdimensional travel function required time. Once this crazy woman realized that something was wrong, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't open fire.
Jiang Chen didn't want to take the risk, but fortunately, he was now in a cooperative relationship with this woman.
…
"Hey, how are you going to transport the supplies here?" Sun Jiao strengthened the defense of the mansion as she asked in confusion.
"My partner naturally has a way, you don't have to worry about it." Jiang Chen continued to lie.
There was a lot of money stored in the mansion, but the money in this world was very different from the money in Jiang Chen's previous world. Jiang Chen wanted to look for something valuable like gold, but the owner of the mansion clearly didn't keep anything valuable at home.
The murals on the wall may be valuable, but the great artists probably didn't exist in Jiang Chen's previous world. It was obviously impossible to exchange these works of art for money. Jiang Chen was very interested in the more advanced home facilities in the mansion. But when she realized that the holographic television and automatic cooking equipment couldn't be activated, Sun Jiao gave him the reason.
"Ah, you mean those things … After the nuclear explosion, most of the electronic equipment can't be used anymore. But if we remove the key components and use them as spare parts, we can still exchange them for some useful things in survival camps. "
Jiang Chen sighed and had to give up on the idea of selling the equipment in the modern world.
But since these things existed before, it meant that there must be people who could recreate them. Jiang Chen believed that if he used food as an exchange, there would be a lot of "elites" in this world willing to work for him. After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, those luxurious civilian technologies were too worthless.
Technicians with weak bodies, if they didn't master the advanced technology of firearms, could only face the fate of living in the ghetto.
Sun Jiao didn't know what Jiang Chen saw in this mansion, but since the employer asked her to work, she obviously wouldn't reject.
"Let me be frank, there is no point in reinforcing this building. As long as we don't make too much noise, those brainless zombies won't be able to sneak in. There are no powerful mutated creatures in this area, you are purely … "
"That's enough, I am not guarding against zombies. I know that as long as I don't provoke those disgusting creatures, they won't come and provoke me. I am preventing uninvited guests from sneaking in, do you understand? You don't want to be slit on your neck while you sleep. We need to stay in the city for a while, and this will be our supply point. "At the same time, Jiang Chen gave Sun Jiao a dirty look.
"Okay, boss." Sun Jiao rolled her eyes and hammered the last nail into the wooden board. She wanted to argue that no one would sneak into a building that was obviously looted.
As to why she was here … that was her secret.
"Do you have a map of this area?" Jiang Chen crossed his legs on the moldy sofa. He didn't feel guilty at all for making this beauty do the hard work. This woman almost gave him a SM interrogation. It didn't feel good to be pointed at by a gun.
Sun Jiao was obviously very familiar with this type of work as she quickly reinforced the first floor of the mansion. As to the materials used, they were all taken from the ground.
"Where's your Epaid? I can send it to you. "
"Epaid?" Jiang Chen paused.
"That's it." Sun Jiao used her finger to tap the wrist-mounted computer on her arm as if she heard a funny joke. "Don't tell me you don't have it?"
"… I can buy it." Jiang Chen forced a smile and touched his nose. He felt like a caveman in front of this girl.
"It's hard to imagine … you dare to explore the city without an EP. Are you not afraid of the radiation level in your body going over the limit? " Sun Jiao sighed as she took out something that looked like a large electronic watch from her backpack and threw it to Jiang Chen. "Try it on."
"It fits quite well … Where did you get it?" Jiang Chen fiddled with it as he was surprised by the advanced technology in this world. The EP was very light and didn't feel like it was a hindrance at all. The light yellow screen displayed Jiang Chen's physiological indicators. It seemed to be a health monitoring device.
"I got it from an unlucky guy's body." Sun Jiao's mouth cracked open. The smile was bright, but it made Jiang Chen shiver involuntarily.
…
User name: Jiang Chen
Body status:
Muscle strength: 12
Bone strength: 10
Reflex: 11
Brain cell activity: 14
…
Radiation value: 11 (safe)
Abnormal status: None
…
When he saw the radiation value, a drop of cold sweat rolled down Jiang Chen's forehead. He almost forgot that this world was full of radiation. If he stayed here for too long, he would die sooner or later. He didn't know what the radiation value of 11 meant. He only knew that before coming to this damned place, there was no way he would be exposed to radiation!
"Oh, none of your abilities exceed 20. Are you really a man?" Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen's lower body with evil intentions.
"Do you want to try?" Jiang Chen said viciously.
"I'm standing right here. Do you want to try?" Sun Jiao domineeringly stepped on the sofa's armrest. Her eyes were full of provocation as she looked at Jiang Chen.
[Fu * k, how can I tolerate this? When can I not do it now?
When can I do it now?]
Jiang Chen decisively gave up.
What a joke. Regardless of whether or not he could beat a "barbarian." Even if he could beat her (impossible), he'd still have to be on guard against her biting off his bird when he did it. Jiang Chen believed that Sun Jiao would actually do something like that.
It was safer to do it in the modern world. With money, there was no need to worry about not having a woman.
For some reason, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of someone. The woman who fired him. The woman who almost made him lose his source of income. The woman who almost made him unable to live in Wanghai City. The woman who always had a cold face.
"What's wrong, my little boss? Why aren't you talking?" Sun Jiao emphasized the word "little" as she looked at Jiang Chen with a teasing look.
"Nothing. I just remembered something from the past."
Sun Jiao was taken aback. His calm tone sent a chill down her spine. Although she didn't think a man with less than 20 combat power could pose any threat to her, her instinct for danger trained from years of living on the edge of life and death rarely lied.
Sun Jiao sensibly kept her mouth shut.
There was no need to offend a free meal ticket. Being able to eat to the fullest every day was something Sun Jiao never thought about before. The taste of the curry chicken was amazing. It was the first time she discovered such delicious food existed in this world. On the wasteland, it was a blessing to have a bun to eat. Oh, no, most people relied on nutrient supply to fill their stomachs. They couldn't eat to the fullest, but they also wouldn't starve to death.
Also, this immature boss seemed to be a good person.
Don't misunderstand. The word "good person" was definitely a negative term on the wasteland. But for some reason, compared to the "normal people" that could be found everywhere, she was more willing to spend time with this "Mr. Nice Guy." At least she wouldn't wake up to find herself tied up like a rice dumpling.
Sun Jiao's dry red lips couldn't help but form a faint smile.
"Do you have to smile that creepily?" For some reason, the smile on Sun Jiao's face was beautiful, but it made Jiang Chen shiver.
"Do I? Don't you think I'm charming when I smile? "
"Should I answer yes or no?" Jiang Chen gulped as he stared at the gorgeous face.
