Chapter 1: Encounters on the Road
Gu He, the traverser. In his previous life, he was an ordinary person on Earth who was planted in the Pacific Ocean in a plane crash. Fortunately, the soul did not die there, but jumped over time and space, came to this parallel world called Blue Star, and started a life story again.
The Blue Star is similar to Earth's level of modernization, except that it inherited the old imperial system, and the land on the Blue Star is now occupied by the seventy-two major empires. The Rainbow Empire is one of the top empires in the Northern Hemisphere of Blue Star, and has the most standard newborn culture mechanism.
Newborns in the Rainbow Empire will enter the academy when they are four years old. The empire has established three city academies in each city within its territory: elementary, intermediate, and advanced. After four years at a lower-level college, you can move on to a higher-level college.
After graduating from the senior academy, those who are excellent in character and learning can go to the special academy for further study and get better imperial treatment. These special academies are often located in important cities of the empire and have first-class resources, and going there to study will undoubtedly be of great help to the future of ordinary people.
In the first fifteen years, Gu He, like most newborns in this world, began his twelve-year life in the city college after the age of four, and when he was fifteen years old, he was unexpectedly sent his resume and was not admitted to any special college. It was also on that day that the sad Gu He woke up the memories of his previous life and understood his unique identity as a traverser.
People have crossed, but the gold finger has not arrived, this is undoubtedly a very ordinary life story. After graduating from the senior college, Gu He, who was not admitted to the special college, chose to leave his hometown and came to the coastal city of Lijiang to work hard, and after four or five years of hard work, there was no improvement.
Gu He, who has been a man for two lives, also accepted the reality, worked with peace of mind, saved money, worked and rested regularly on time, and prepared to return to his hometown in a few years to get married and have children, and achieve the life of an ordinary Blue Star person. Tiandi Mansion is located in the more prosperous island area of Lijiang City, where Gu He also makes a living.
On the way back to the community from the Tiandi Building, Gu He drove a simple pickup truck, and according to usual, it would arrive at the community in about half an hour. Over the years, because of his hard work and long hours every day, Gu He felt that his eyesight had deteriorated a little, which was really bad news.
On the way, the vegetation trees on both sides of the road are constantly receding. Suddenly, Gu He faintly saw that there seemed to be some small creature not far away, and he rushed into the tree-lined path next to him, and his heart suddenly tightened. However, since the creature had already fled in the wilderness, it was thought that it would not wait for it to come out to greet him again, Gu He thought a little relaxed.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and when Gu He was still thinking about whether he was dazzled just now, he unexpectedly heard two roars of fierce beasts behind him, and subconsciously snorted. couldn't help but glance back, Gu He suddenly felt dead, and quickly stepped on the accelerator to let the pickup run quickly.
The two male lions that came out of nowhere in the rear were about to pounce, and when they saw the pickup accelerating, they suddenly roared in dissatisfaction and chased after them.
"Isn't this supposed to be at the zoo? ”
Gu He felt frightened, at this time, all the hope of survival was focused on the dilapidated pickup truck he was driving, but whether the defensive power of this pickup truck could prevent the bite of the lion remained to be tested. Gu He cheered up and drove seriously. At the same time, in the dark, there seems to be a mysterious power blessed on the pickup, making the pickup exert a super-level speed.
After shaking off the lion, Gu He noticed that the road that used to be quite lively was empty at this time, and there was not a single pedestrian in his sight. The pickup truck continued to accelerate, as if it had been opened, like an arrow off the string.
Behind, the two lions were still chasing frantically, their wanton manes and golden pupils making no secret of their desire to eat people.
The speed of life and death is a competition between the endurance of pickup trucks and lions, and Gu He is even ready to fight with lions after being caught up by lions. But the mysterious power seemed to continue, and I don't know how long it took, a pickup truck slowly drove out of this strange area.
The two lions, who had been chasing for a long time, stopped, bared their bloody fangs, and stopped at the edge of this mysterious area. They seemed to have suddenly lost their traces of Gu He, and they didn't know where to chase them now.
Located in the center of the strange realm, this is a mysterious base-type building, and the portal wall alone is as tall as fifty meters. But there was a humanoid creature inside, and its head was still exposed through the portal wall, and its eyes were watching the direction of Gu He's pickup from a distance.
This is a mighty giant, twenty stories high. But in front of it was a group of golden lions, no less than five. The Golden Lion is a powerful group of monsters, each with a strong vitality. Even though the giants were close to the sixth order, they also felt that they were in a catastrophe in the face of these fifth-order golden giant lions.
The golden giant lion looked hideous, its pupils were like green light in a deep well, looked at the giant indifferently, and said in a low voice, "Poor giant. ”
The giant was silent, but in the sky, a wave of thought came, "Giant, you don't have much magic power, why did you save the young man who accidentally broke into this area." Hearing Thunderman's inquiry, the giant chuckled, "If you can break into this area, why don't you save him." ”
In the sky, the Thunder Man hid in the dark clouds, revealing a huge humanoid purple shadow with only the upper body. Thunder was angry in his heart, the giant was just too merciful to distinguish the occasion. Wasting magic to do such boring things in such a grim situation undoubtedly greatly reduced the hope that the two of them could continue to survive.
In front of the thunder man, there was a white cloud. In the white clouds, a huge golden thunderbird poked out its head, and its sharp eyes looked at the thunderbird, revealing a trace of monster instinct to devour intelligent life. Both fifth-order lifeforms, the Thunderman and the Golden Thunderbird have been facing each other for a long time.
......
Back in the community, Gu He, who had survived the disaster, still had some heart palpitations. Gu He, who came back to his senses, recalled that the speed of the pickup truck that had unexpectedly erupted just now seemed to be two or three times faster than usual, and only then did he get rid of the pursuit of the two lions. Thinking of this, Gu He suddenly glanced at the pickup truck with some strangeness, could it be that his gold finger is this four-year-old pickup truck.
After opening a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator, Gu He turned on the TV to see if there was any urgent news on the city's channel that the lion had escaped from the zoo. In broad daylight, two lions appeared on the road and chased them all the way, almost finishing the game. Nine times out of ten, this is the strong man who came out of the safari park. There should now be a dedicated person to deal with the matter. However, the TV screen was gray.
Gu He silently put down the remote control, took a deep sip of yogurt, and thought that the road seemed to be empty just now, and suddenly felt a shadow on his heart. Came to the window, opened the curtains, and Gu He looked down. The neighbor, Mrs. Lin, teased her beloved dog as usual.
Several youngsters play basketball on the basketball court, occasionally hitting basketballs.
There are beautiful mm riding bicycles passing by, with long hair fluttering.
Everything is as usual, nothing out of the ordinary.
"What happened on the road just now was all an illusion?" Gu He considered the possibility of being dazzled, was it because he had been under too much pressure at work recently. Gu He couldn't help but glance downstairs a few more times, remembering that he had been living in this city alone for five years, and he thought that he could rely on the memories of his previous life to thrive. As a result, he was overtired and hallucinated that he was being chased by two lions. Looking at the TV with a blank screen and a loss of signal, Gu He's heart rose to the idea of returning to his hometown to find a quiet job.
Knock knock, there's a knock on the door. Gu He hesitated slightly, but got up to open the door, and saw the little girl from the neighbor's house standing at the door.
"Uncle Gu, is your TV okay?" asked Lin Mei.
"It's Xiaomei, do you mean the TV screen is white?"
"yes, there doesn't seem to be a signal. ”
"Uncle, too. Let's wait for someone to fix it tomorrow. ”
After Gu He answered, the little girl nodded and jumped away. The little girl is the granddaughter of the neighbor Mrs. Lin, and she is said to be a hard-working and down-to-earth child with excellent character and learning. I just like to call myself uncle, which needs to be corrected. However, if the TV series on both sides can't receive the signal, it should be a problem with the place where the signal is transmitted.
There was no signal on his mobile phone, and Gu He felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, there was no power outage, otherwise it would have been a bit of a panic. In the evening, Gu He, who was supposed to watch TV on the webpage, came to the window to look out a little bored, and found that in the distance, a black car queue with flashing red warning lights was driving across the road.
It seemed to be a convoy of the Imperial military, and I didn't know where it was going. Gu He closed the window and returned to the house. Lijiang City is only a remote coastal city, and it stands to reason that the Imperial Army will not appear here. The arrival of the army at the moment cannot be a simple coincidence. I just don't know what's going on, Gu He feels that the problem is probably a bit serious.
Late at night, Gu He couldn't help but open the window, and the cold wind was cold. Gu He listened for a while, and found that there was no chaotic screaming, and there was no firelight, people gathering or anything like that in the distance. Let's go to sleep for now, and when we wake up tomorrow, we should know what's going on. His head was also a little drowsy, as if something was about to burst out of his shell.
Gu He lay on the bed, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, trying to relax his mind to relieve his headache. Soon he fell asleep, and the night was silent.
