Chapter 1 Disaster from the sky
The weather in June is hot, the roads are smooth, not to mention pedestrians, even ants don't know where to hide in the shade.
Lu Chen drove his broken tricycle, sliding slowly on the empty road, weak!
"Sad life!" he picked up a towel with one hand and kept wiping the sweat dripping from his forehead, sighing while looking full of helplessness and melancholy!
Lu Chen is a courier, a very ordinary job, and it is also a very hard job.
Exposed to the sun, braving the cold wind, and drenching in heavy rain, he kept shuttling through the city, going in and out of all corners, and he was talking about people like him.
Seeing those white-collar workers in and out of high-end office buildings countless times, Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder, why didn't he work in it?
Blowing the air conditioner, taking a high salary, working from 9 to 5, and having weekends off, isn't it much better than sending couriers?
But you can only think about it, after graduating from primary school, your education is equal to zero, why stay in that kind of place?
Lu Chen has dreams, great dreams. He dreams that one day he will also become a millionaire or even a multimillionaire, living in a mansion and sitting on a luxury car and a beautiful woman. Even occasionally, he would fantasize that one day God would open his eyes, see him, and make him an immortal, then he would be as free as the legendary immortal.
Who doesn't want to be free, who doesn't want to be free, but how many people can do it? How many people don't run around all day to make a living?
Dreams are just dreams after all, they are in dreams, at least that's what Lu Chen thinks.
He was an orphan who had never even seen his parents in person, and was picked up by an old grandfather who picked him up from the garbage heap.
For as long as he can remember, he remembered going in and out with his grandfather around the city's garbage cans, struggling to survive on the trash discarded by others!
The old man was very thrifty, and used the money he saved to study for Lu Chen, but unfortunately, he finally survived until Lu Chen graduated from elementary school, but the old man had already passed away.
Since the age of twelve, Lu Chen has been wandering alone, picking up garbage or doing odd jobs for a living, and finally he has grown up and can make a living by himself, but the so-called ideal is still too far away to be realized!
Lu Chen is twenty-five years old this year, not to mention luxury car beauties, and he can't even find a girlfriend.
House, rented.
Car, the company's broken tricycle.
Savings, three months' salary, in addition to expenses, adds up to a word and there are no four zeros behind the word.
One word - poor!
A small shop appeared at the end of the road, saying that it was a small shop, but in fact, it was a refrigerator and some snacks and other goods under a huge parasol, to put it bluntly, it was a very common roadside stall.
Lu Chen drove the tricycle over, stopped next to the shop, and shouted as he got out of the car: "Boss, hurry up and help me get an old popsicle plus two cups of mung bean smoothie, and a bottle of rock sugar pear." ”
An obese middle-aged woman is holding a thick hose and spraying water on a parasol to cool it down. Hearing this, he didn't even want a water pipe, and he couldn't take care of the water, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll bring it to you." ”
Obviously, business here is not good, there is no one on the road, who will come to buy things?
Neither the middle-aged woman nor Lu Chen noticed that the water pipe thrown down by the middle-aged woman was aimed at Lu Chen, and the huge flow of water suddenly drenched Lu Chen and turned it into a soup chicken, which was really cool!
"Bad luck!"
Lu Chen muttered, just about to say something. But at this time, the middle-aged woman ran over with the things Lu Chen needed, saw Lu Chen's appearance, hurriedly apologized, and threw the things in her hand into Lu Chen's arms, and I didn't know where to find a towel stained with oil and dust, and wiped it on Lu Chen's face vigorously.
Lu Chen couldn't dodge, and the water stains on his face were not wiped clean, but he became a big cat!
Lu Chen was speechless, secretly screaming bad luck, and it was not good to argue with a woman about anything, so he took out nine yuan, handed it to the middle-aged woman, and then wanted to leave with the things.
However, as soon as he took a few steps, a middle-aged woman's voice came from behind him: "Hey, you stop me!"
"Is there anything else?" Lu Chen looked back puzzled.
"It's nine dollars missing. The middle-aged woman raised the banknote in her hand and said.
"What? Isn't it nine yuan? Why is it still nine yuan?" Lu Chen was puzzled, under normal circumstances, the things he bought were nine yuan.
"Who said nine yuan? It's eighteen yuan in total, give money!" the middle-aged woman shouted.
"Damn, you black shop, don't give it!" Lu Chen's heart was furious, and he walked to his tricycle without looking back, and was about to leave.
However, a deafening roar came from behind him: "Dayong, get out!"
Lu Chen was shocked, and when he looked back, his face turned white as soon as he brushed it, and he ran away, and while running, he also took out a few banknotes from his body, no matter how many they were, he threw them behind him.
He saw a tall, muscular bald man with a fleshy face, holding a machete a foot long, and blood was still dripping from it, as if he had just returned from slashing. And the man was rushing towards him, and his mouth was still roaring: "Mother-in-law, you want to cut this kid again, right?"
Listen to this, he often does this kind of thing!
Lu Chen ran away, started the tricycle and rushed out, not even caring about the mung bean smoothie in his hand, just thinking about how to escape!
After a long time, the tricycle stopped on another road, Lu Chen took out what he bought, pitiful, the old popsicle broke and melted. There is only one cup of mung bean smoothie left, but the rock sugar Sydney pear is still there.
Lu Chen took out a cigarette, lit it, and then began to enjoy the food he had bought with great difficulty, feeling extremely depressed.
Isn't it just to buy something? Why did you come across a black shop? Is there any reason to cut people for a few dollars?
He didn't dare to reason with the boss, nor did he dare to argue, the habits he developed since childhood made him a little timid, and when this happened, he could only consider himself unlucky!
After smoking a cigarette, a cup of mung bean smoothie, and a bottle of rock sugar pear, Lu Chen finally felt a little more comfortable, leaned on the tricycle and fell asleep unconsciously.
This road is very familiar to him, basically no one, very safe!
However, no one can stop the catastrophe from heaven!
A muck truck came from a distance, clearly overweight, and the ground trembled as it went.
The muck truck gradually approached Lu Chen's tricycle, and it could have been passed easily, but at this moment, the muck truck was out of control and rampage on the road, and the driver of the muck truck was also panicked, unable to control it, and could only howl loudly!
Lu Chen couldn't hear it, because he was already asleep, and he was dreaming again!
In the dream, he saw himself flying, flying higher and higher, even flying up to the clouds, looking down on the city, and finally being pulled into a wonderful world by an inexplicable force.
In reality, the muck truck lost control and finally crashed into the tricycle, the tricycle flew, and Lu Chen was thrown out and smashed into the green belt next to the highway. The muck truck slid for some distance after hitting the tricycle and eventually overturned, killing the driver of the muck truck on the spot!
The road is very remote, and on very hot days, pedestrians and vehicles rarely pass through, resulting in a car accident that took a long time to be discovered.
Lu Chen was found in the green belt, dying, and was finally pronounced dead after ten hours of rescue after being sent to the hospital.
Time of death, 0:30 on June 26, 2018!
"Hey, why is this dream so real?"
A puzzled voice sounded in the endless void, and a figure appeared, it turned out to be Lu Chen, who was still wearing the clothes he had before the car accident at the moment, just floating in the air, with a dazed face, a little weird.
He didn't know that he was dead, he just felt that the dream seemed very long, and infinitely close to reality, it was incredible.
Look at the vast land under your feet, as far as the eye can see, reddish-brown, and there are people with bull heads and horse faces walking, tall, black all over the body, it makes people scared when they see it, like the legendary bull head and horse face, but, are there so many cow heads and horse faces?
Is this the underworld?
Lu Chen looked at it, and wondered to the extreme, didn't he fall asleep? How could he come to such a place? And it was so real!
Lu Chen was floating in the air, and he felt very weird, he could fly!
The yin wind roared angrily, making him feel a little cold, he looked up at the sky, and saw no moon or stars, only a blood-red planet hanging in the air, emitting a strange red light.
"Is that the sun?" Lu Chen's heart was even more puzzled, this was just like the sun in the legendary underworld.
A shuddering feeling appeared, and at the end of the earth, there was a black and white impermanence with a long tongue appearing, threatening and mighty, rushing straight into the sky!
Lu Chen felt a chill emanating from his bones, he shrunk his neck, rose infinitely, and stayed away from this place.
But he was even more confused, what was wrong with him, why was he always wandering in dreams, when would he wake up?
He tried to slap himself in the face, but the palm passed directly through his face, and he didn't feel any pain.
"What's going on?" he was shocked, and had a very bad premonition, which, according to legend, can only be done by souls.
"Soul, am I dead? This is not a dream?"
Lu Chen was shocked in his heart, anxious to confirm it, tossed it, and finally sighed helplessly, this really didn't seem to be a dream, but how did he die? Wasn't he sleeping well before? Could it be that a disaster fell from heaven?
Lu Chen really didn't expect that he had inadvertently guessed correctly, wasn't it just a disaster from the sky?
Dead, what should I do? Why didn't there be a bad way to arrest me? Lu Chen was confused, and he really wanted to find someone to ask.
And at this moment, a hazy figure appeared in the distance, Lu Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly flew towards the figure.
