'Pain, it's very painful. '
After landing heavily on the ground, Gu Jun lay on the ground. His vision was blurry, and there was a ringing in his ears.
'I'm not dead … I survived the nuclear explosion … Where am I … now … '
His head throbbed with pain. Gu Jun took a long time to recover before he could think.
Just as the leader shouted 'Detonate', a light flashed in his mind. He turned to look at the charity poster in his hand. 'I came to this world through Dirty-minded Yu's watercolor, can I leave this world through this poster …'
When a person is in a hurry, their adrenaline will explode, and they will often be able to do things that they would not normally be able to do, such as lifting the car to save the child's mother.
The only difference was that Gu Jun was trying to save himself.
He did not know if he had done it with his own strength, nor did he know how he had done it. A few rays of light suddenly appeared on the poster. It was the split cross symbol. His hands quickly melted into it, into another space. Then, the moment before the nuclear explosion hit him, his entire body was pulled in.
Gu Jun had no idea what happened after that but for a moment, he felt like he was floating above that dimension and had a glimpse of the whole thing.
Angel City, the city that worshipped the 'Locust God', the walls, skyscrapers, roads, schools, hospitals, Locust Temple … everything was vaporized.
The power of the nuclear explosion was beyond Gu Jun's knowledge. Even the nuclear bombs in his home world did not have such power. Even if several of them exploded at the same time, the area of destruction would be huge but the vaporization area would not be that big … Gu Jun had no idea whether that was a nuclear bomb or not.
'What kind of military base did they find this thing?
Or perhaps … this explosion scene was just his imagination.
After who knew how long, Gu Jun could see clearly. 'Where am I?' He scanned his surroundings. The place he was at was no longer a barren wasteland, but a hillside full of green grass. In the distance, there were lush trees, and he saw two horses grazing on the grass.
Further away, at the top of the hill, there were several houses. They were European style, two stories, slanted roofs, white walls and chimneys.
Have I returned to my original space-time?
However, Gu Jun immediately realized something, and this thought was immediately shattered. He was surrounded by the autumn scenery! They were maple trees with red autumn leaves.
But was it possible that time was not synchronized? Like the last time he returned from Dreamlands, half a year had passed …
Gu Jun wanted to take a closer look and was about to sit up, but his movement pulled the wound on his abdomen, causing him to groan in pain. He looked at his abdomen and saw that the gauze wrapped on it was a little blood red.
"Uncle Dan, I told you to tie a surgical knot. Why did you tie a square knot …" He grumbled helplessly. "Look, the wound has reopened."
He took off his backpack and put it aside. Looking at the clear blue sky, he lay down and did not want to move.
If Dirty-minded Yu was lying next to him, talking and kissing, it would be quite romantic …
While he was giving himself strength, the images of the wasteland haunted him. Angel City, the bugs, the locust plague, the Locust God, the Flying Locusts, the plague …
Gu Jun gave a long sigh. Ah Bao, Shou Hou, Da Niu and the rest were all vaporized.
Even though he had only known them for a short while … he still felt quite sad. They did not see the real sea or the dolphins.
There were so many other people, from the convoy and Angel City.
As he thought about it, he was reminded of the name that Ah Bao and the rest called, the long and strange name.
"Nyarlathotep, that does not sound like a Chinese name, it does not even sound like a foreign name. A foreigner pulling a missile with a huge yield to a small settlement, which indirectly led to the destruction of the settlement … Was this even possible? Yes, it is. But … there is something strange about that … "
Gu Jun could see the skeleton inside the iron cage. Was that Nyarlathotep?
"Chaos, death, destruction." He shook his head, he still could not figure it out.
"What time did that wasteland take place in? Through the split cross, I arrived at the wasteland for the first time and here for the second time. How did I gain this power? "Gu Jun scratched his forehead. It couldn't be the PEEK skull, could it?
That was probably what the witch was after. She consumed him and took over his power to descend into his home world.
"Can this kind of transmigration be controlled freely? Is there any exhaustion for each transmigration? "
Gu Jun thought to himself, "My mental state seems fine, I don't feel particularly tired … Even if there is exhaustion, it shouldn't be just mental exhaustion …"
Mental exhaustion? He closed his eyes to focus on his mind. The broken system energy was still a ball of chaos but to his shock, when he probed his mind, the headache did not feel as intense as before. It merely felt bloated. Back then, whenever he tried to get close to the ball of chaos, he almost fainted from the pain.
"Could it be …" Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat. "My two transmigrations are actually beneficial to my condition?"
He had a feeling that he could not adapt to this new power before. It was like he was allergic to it. That was why there was a reaction when he touched it, but now he was digesting it and adapting …
"If that's the case, then I'm actually in the process of recovering and gaining a new state."
When Gu Jun arrived, he opened his eyes to look at the sky. His heart pounded even harder.
'I'm not a cripple, just like the witch said, I've become more precious … But I've also attracted these demons … At this point, I need to find out where I am and see if these things are related. I need to figure out the signal and symbol and get in touch with Phecda as soon as possible. The locust plague, I need to be careful of the locust plague … '
"This should be Europe or Australia." Gu Jun pushed himself up. The houses in China were not like that.
He looked at his abdomen. The bleeding was not serious. There was no need to deal with it for now. He needed to find someone first.
However, Gu Jun knew that even though this was not the wasteland and looked like a peaceful place, there might be endless evil lurking around.
Therefore, he walked very slowly. As he walked towards the few houses on the hillside, he kept an eye on his surroundings.
When he was about ten meters away from the houses, Gu Jun suddenly saw someone walk out from the side door of one of the houses. It was a short and fat middle-aged Caucasian woman. She was carrying a basin of clothes and appeared to be going to wash them. The woman's clothes, hair accessories, wooden basin … None of them felt modern.
At that moment, the woman also saw him. She screamed in English with an unknown accent, "Oriental, there's an Oriental!"
