That strange and twisted sky looked especially terrifying at this moment.
Gray was the main color of this world. Gray tall buildings, gray alloy ground, gray vehicles, gray sky, and three incomparably huge gray spheres hung in the sky.
A dead metal world.
This should be a ruin, right?
Walking in the silent metal forest, I could not help but think so. But it was different from the ruins in my impression. Nothing here had any signs of damage. At least from the outside, these cold metal surfaces did not have a trace of damage. They did not seem to be abandoned because of serious damage, but more like they had entered a state of hibernation. Sleeping behemoths — This was a more suitable name for them.
This sleeping world was so quiet that the sound of footsteps became the only sound in my ears. After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally felt a little tired. So I found a place that looked like a landing platform for some kind of flying equipment and sat down.
There was still some time before we left this place. Bored, I began to look at the three enormous metal spheres in the sky again. They were so huge that they almost occupied a third of the entire area of the sky. On their surface, I could faintly see countless sharp protrusions and grid-like textures. It gave people the feeling of a huge planetary fortress in a science fiction movie. To be honest, everything in this world was more science fiction than any science fiction movie.
Bored, I just stared at the three planet-sized metal spheres in the sky until the pressure they brought made me have no choice but to look away.
It felt like they were closer to the ground.
In fact, they were indeed getting closer to the ground. When I first came here, they were just three small black dots hanging high in the sky. But every time I entered this world, they would get a little closer to the ground. Sometimes, they would get a lot closer at once. Sometimes, there would only be slight changes. If I didn't look closely, I wouldn't be able to tell if they had moved or not. But I knew that they were constantly descending. Perhaps one day, they would touch the ground. Who knew if there would be any changes in this world when that happened? Bored, I was really looking forward to it.
"Not found yet …" A voice suddenly resounded throughout the sky. Then, the entire world began to shake violently. It was time to leave.

* Ding Ling Ling … * An urgent alarm woke me up from my dream. I struggled to open my eyes and shook my dizzy head. My vision swayed for a while before it finally stabilized. After a long time, I finally woke up from the strange dream that I had for the whole night.
What a strange dream …
I didn't know when it started, but I kept having this strange dream. In the dream, I was walking alone in a deathly silent metal world. I was surrounded by scenes from the future, and the desolate aura of the apocalypse was the main theme of this world. But even though the scenes around me were so oppressive, I didn't feel panicked at all in the dream. It was as if everything was a familiar sight. Every time the dream ended, I would hear a voice saying in a seemingly disappointed voice, "Still haven't found it …"
The entire process was like a shoddily made version of Wuji. It was impossible to analyze the plot based on those nonsensical scenes. In any case, I still couldn't understand the meaning of the things in the dream.
What was this voice looking for? Or could it be that it wanted me to look for something?
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the answer in the dream.
I never mentioned this dream to anyone. Although I didn't know what it meant, my intuition told me that this dream had an unusual meaning. Telling this secret to others would bring me huge trouble.
"Monday …" I muttered, and unwillingly crawled out of the bed. The early winter weather made me shiver, but I managed to resist the attraction of the warm bed. If I didn't hurry, I would be late for class.
I, Chen Jun, am a senior high school student. I have been an orphan since I was young. I didn't have parents or brothers. I was adopted by a merchant couple. Ever since my adoptive parents passed away, I only had an older sister who was five years older than me. Life was as bland and tasteless as a cup of plain water. The only fortunate thing was that my older sister and I inherited a considerable amount of inheritance from our adoptive parents, so our lives weren't as difficult as other orphans. My older sister, who took care of the family business by herself since I was very young, was also very good to me. At least I could still feel the warmth of home.
While I was still thinking about whether the dream last night was different from usual, my older sister's voice sounded outside the door, "Ah Jun, are you up? It's getting late! "
"Oh, I'm coming out now!" I promised, quickly put on my clothes and opened the door. Outside the door was a beautiful girl with long hair — — this was my older sister who adopted me, Chen Qian. A girl who looked weak but was actually very strong. Although she was only five years older, I could always find a warm feeling around her.
"What's wrong Ah Jun, is there something on my face?" Perhaps it was because she was embarrassed from being stared at by me, her face turned red and she asked in a panic.
"Ah, nothing, I was thinking about something … Then I'm going to school!"
"Eh — — wait, you haven't eaten yet …"
"There's no time, then I'll be leaving first!"
Canglan Private High School was an aristocratic school that lived up to its name. Aside from the high cost, the quality of its teaching far exceeded that of ordinary public schools. This led to this well-known aristocratic school becoming a place that ordinary commoners wouldn't even dare to think about. The students who were able to enroll in this school were at least the descendants of billionaires or sons of influential officials, or super geniuses who could be ranked among the top in the country. After all, if a school wanted to develop, money alone wasn't enough. It was also necessary to have some outstanding students who could strengthen the school's reputation. In short, this school was a holy land that perfectly met the standards of the prince and Cinderella plot in various youth idol dramas.
The reason why I wanted to introduce this school so much was because I went to school right across from this school …
K City No.2 Middle School, this was the school I was actually studying at.
No matter how you looked at it, it was an ordinary school that couldn't be any more ordinary. Compared to Canglan Private High School, which was like a royal garden, one was like a city while the other was like a village. The people who studied here were also ordinary students. Most of us couldn't even name the clothes that the students of the school across from us wore every day. The contrast between the two schools, separated by only one street, became one of the famous sights here.
I was one of the students here. After all, although my sister and I were quite well-off, we were still far from being able to compare with the noble young masters of Cang Lan Private High School.
"Ah Jun!" A clear voice sounded from behind me. I turned around and saw a petite girl with short hair running in my direction.
Xu Shallow Shallow, she was one of my best friends. She was the kind of childhood sweetheart who took a bath together after growing up. However, she moved to another part of the city after middle school, so we didn't have many chances to meet each other. However, that didn't affect my relationship with Shallow Shallow. After coming to this school that was a combination of middle school and high school, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the other party also chose this school in the city. Thus, it was as if we had returned to the time when we went to school together. According to the normal development of the plot, there was about an 80% chance that a childhood sweetheart like this would become my lover. In fact, we also thought so. However, for some reason, we didn't progress any further and maintained a relationship between best friends and lovers. As for the reason, could it be that we were too familiar with each other?
Indeed, there was a reason in this aspect. After all, when the other party is a girl that you know how many times she peed her bed when she was young, it was difficult to treat her as a suitable romantic partner.
"Ah Jun, what are you thinking about?" Xu Shallow Shallow walked over quickly and waved her small hand in front of me. Then, she said with dissatisfaction.
"Oh, I was just introducing your situation to the readers …"
… That sentence above can be ignored …
At this moment, a crowd that suddenly gathered nearby attracted my attention.
