The universe is diverse.

A butterfly in the Amazon jungle flapping its wings could set off a tornado in Texas two weeks later. That is, any slight change may have an impact that can change the future trend after being amplified indefinitely.

In other words, the future as we understand it is extremely unstable.

Jiang Chen, male, 23 years old, graduated with a bachelor's degree. After graduating, he worked as a salesman in a clothing store, but he has been fired. With his shrinking wallet, he had to face a dilemma: should he continue to stay in Shanghai to find a job, or should he quit his rented house and return to his hometown?

To be honest, he didn't want to just run back like that. Being able to live in a metropolis like Wanghai City is not only his long-cherished wish since childhood, but also the expectation of his parents. How many people who have never seen the world are not eager to go out and see the world?

Even if you already know it, the reality can make you disgraced.

That night, he was drunk, and it was the first time since he graduated that he was alone and unconscious. Just after venting his grievances, he dimly felt as if his head had been whipped by something, and the whole person fainted. The unidentified metal object vanished as if it had merged with him after striking his wrist.

Then, he gained an incredible ability - Travel!

Of course, it would be months before this anomalous ability was discovered.

The strange pattern looped around his right wrist like a watch, and even if you looked closely, you could only conclude that it was a strange tattoo.

So the question is, Jiang Chen has never had a tattoo?

He didn't know why he was chosen, but he knew that his chance to reach the pinnacle of life might come.

Time travel, plane jumps, he doesn't have enough expertise to explain this extraordinary phenomenon. It's just that after an accidental electric shock and no, I found out that after absorbing about 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity, the empty groove on his wrist like a tattoo will be filled, and it can meet the conditions required for "crossing". A traverse will consume about half an energy gauge, that is, a full 100 kWh of electricity is enough to traverse a round trip. The cost of crossing is only about 50 yuan, which has to be said to be too cheap.

Plus, this weird tattoo doesn't just do traversing. Jiang Chen accidentally discovered that in addition to allowing him to travel to a strange world, this thing also had an independent subspace! In layman's terms, it was a storage space of about 1 cubic meter. However, due to the fact that it takes a certain amount of energy to access items from the space, Jiang Chen still chooses to use his backpack to carry items through it. After all, if you don't save some energy in the energy slot, if you can't find a way to replenish your energy in the last days, won't you be able to come back?

Jiang Chen had a hunch that this energy gauge should be upgradeable, including that storage space, there should still be some room for expansion, but he hasn't figured out how to upgrade yet.

As for how to charge it, the method is very simple, just insert the fingers of your right hand into the socket, although this method is crude, but it works. As for how Jiang Chen discovered this method, as mentioned earlier, it was entirely because of an accidental electric shock.

The first crossing was in an abandoned dwelling, which had not been visited for a long time, as evidenced by the dusty beds and decaying wooden windowsills. After carefully confirming the environment, Jiang Chen began to explore the dilapidated house. From the half-destroyed radio with storage function and the old newspaper, Jiang Chen barely learned some information about this world.

This is a parallel world similar to the earth, but technology is obviously ahead of Jiang Chen's side. There are many high-rise buildings, but there is no trace of civilization. The streets were full of zombies and xenomorph creatures, and Jiang Chen, who didn't even have a reliable weapon, naturally didn't dare to go out easily.

The time is 2190, and the location is still Wanghai City, the Republic of China. However, the Wanghai City here is almost the same as the Wanghai City on Jiang Chen's side.

In the year 2150, the global climate warmed, all kinds of resources were extremely strained due to overexploitation, and the economic crisis came as scheduled.

In 2164, the Polish political crisis ignited the powder keg in Central Europe, and the Red regime began to advance westward. As a result, global geopolitics has entered a state of extreme tension. It is worth mentioning that in this parallel world, the collapse of the USSR did not take place in 1991. As a result, the world political landscape is divided into three polar worlds – the NATO military body (NATO) composed of the United States and its allies, the Soviet-dominated Central Eurasian Red Regime (cccP), the Pan-Asian Cooperation Organization (Pca) composed of China and South Asian countries, and the neutrality of some peripheral countries.

In 2171, the situation in Central Europe escalated, and the red regime declared war on the blue regime, and both sides blamed the other for firing the first shot, thus kicking off the Third World War.

In the winter of the same year, the South China Sea Incident broke out. A naval battle broke out between China and Japan in the South China Sea, NATO declared war on pan-Asian cooperation, and the Asian theater opened. In the same year, a political crisis broke out in Mongolia, and military friction between the Red regime and the Huaxia State forced a large number of military forces between the two countries to confront each other on the border.

In 2172, the Red regime detonated its first nuclear bomb in Paris, declaring World War III a nuclear war.

In 2173, the modern war unexpectedly came to a stalemate. The whole world has been affected by nuclear radiation, and the ecological environment has been uncontrollably damaged and almost devastating. With a nuclear winter that covers 80% of the Earth's land with snow and ice, no one could have imagined that global warming would end for such a very ironic reason. It took only two years for the modern world war of war, famine, and disease to exhaust almost all the vitality of human civilization, and the economic losses caused far exceeded the sum of World War I and World War II. It is for this reason that peace has come as a matter of course, without a winner being decided. Because everyone knows that if the fight continues, I'm afraid that no one will be alive.

On New Year's Day 2174, the peace treaty officially entered into force. The "Rebuild the Biosphere" program was officially launched, and the radiation removal program was jointly funded by all countries.

In the autumn of 2174, the International Coalition announced that the "Rebuilding the Biosphere" project had been aborted, and the purified radiation bacteria under development had uncontrollable mutations due to radiation, and at the same time, due to the attack of unknown forces, the mutated bacteria spread on a large scale in the city. Humans infected by mutated bacteria will become zombies, and a global Resident Evil will erupt. All institutions were paralyzed, and all order collapsed overnight

In 2176, the United World launched six colony ships on the planet Captan B in the constellation Centauri. It carries the hope of human civilization, sailing into space in the name of a seeding ship to find a new home. However, none of this has anything to do with the people who are still struggling on the ground.

In the same year, the United World Organization was dissolved.

The information recorded in the newspaper only lasted until 2176, and most of the rest of the information Jiang Chen saw from a yellowed diary. From the electronic watch still running in the drawer, it can be concluded that the current point in time is June 2190.

Coincidentally, it's also June at this time.

However, in just 5 years, the human civilization in this world line has buried itself with its own hands.

After a short stay, Jiang Chen chose to return to modern times. There are so many unknown dangers here that it's not a good idea to explore without being prepared.

Jiang Chen, who returned to modern times, rested for two days, and then bought a box of canned food, a box of ham, and a box of instant noodles from a nearby supermarket. Out of an abundance of caution, even though he didn't plan to spend the night in that dangerous place, he still carried three days' worth of food.

The strength of the zombies during the day seemed to have been greatly weakened, which also made it easier for Jiang Chen to explore this area. Carefully passing through the middle of the street, avoiding the area where there were many zombies, Jiang Chen found the villa

The tall courtyard walls and iron gates look very safe, and the withered yellow vegetation in the courtyard looks a little depressed. The reliefs on the marble columns next to the door of the main building of the villa have been blurred by acid rain, and it can be seen that the pollution of this world should be serious.

The stone structure is not science fiction, and it seems that the former owner of the villa seems to be a rich man who is very good at enjoying life.

As for why you chose to explore this villa, the answer is obvious, no matter how rich people say it, they must also have something valuable, right?

However, what Jiang Chen encountered was not something of value, but a beautiful woman who was almost starving to death.

Maybe he was paralyzed by beauty, or maybe Jiang Chen, who came from a civilized society, didn't think about danger at all, in short, when he saw the beautiful woman who had no strength to breathe looking at him with pleading eyes, he generously took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, put it to the mouth of the beauty, and fed her very pitifully.

It's important to save people, hehe, will she promise herself?

Then Jiang Chen took out the canned curry chicken nuggets, and after smelling the fragrance of the can, the beautiful woman still looked at Jiang Chen with her big watery eyes full of pleading. Being looked at by a beautiful woman with such a gaze is an indescribable enjoyment for Jiang Chen, who is still a virgin, both mentally and physically.

So Jiang Chen took out the spoon very enthusiastically and fed the long-legged beauty with a hot body little by little the delicious food in the can.

And then there was no then.

Then Jiang Chen regretted that he wanted to slap his face.

The beautiful woman's actions perfectly illustrate the story of the farmer and the snake.

A can and a few steamed buns went down, and the beautiful woman pulled out a pistol from her waist without saying a word and put it against Jiang Chen's head. When Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded and didn't react, she had already skillfully tied him to the stool, and took out the original owner's uh from the villa on the spot, which should be a sex toy - a leather whip. The torture of Jiang Chen began violently.

By now, Jiang Chen probably realized what it meant to walk on the street with a backpack of food on his back.

Fortunately, I met Miss Sun Jiao, who was more or less conscientious, and if I met any villains such as cannibals and slave traders, I am afraid that she would have been tied up into zongzi as food or commodities or something like that.

Of course, Jiang Chen can actually choose to activate the tattoo on his wrist and teleport back to modern times. But in this case, it also means that his biggest secret is exposed. Once he is "guarded" by this woman, he will have to face greater danger.

He was not willing to give up this "treasure land".

What's more, it also takes time to activate the traversal function. As soon as this crazy woman finds out that something is wrong, it is hard to guarantee that she will not shoot directly.

Jiang Chen didn't want to take this risk, but fortunately, he had reached a cooperative relationship with this woman now.

－

"Hey, I said, how are you going to transport the daily necessities here?" Sun Jiao asked in a puzzled voice while reinforcing the weak defensive area of the villa.

"My companion naturally has a way, you don't have to worry about this. Jiang Chen continued to lie.

There are indeed a lot of banknotes in this villa, but the banknotes in this world are very different from the banknotes in Jiang Chen's original world. Jiang Chen wanted to go over and look for some valuable gold and other things, but the owner of this villa obviously didn't keep those valuable things at home.

The murals hanging on the walls may be very valuable, but those great painters are afraid that they don't exist at all on Jiang Chen's side. Trying to exchange these works of art for money obviously won't work. For the more advanced home facilities in the villa, Jiang Chen showed great interest. But when she found that things like holographic TVs and automatic cooking equipment couldn't start normally at all, Sun Jiao simply gave the reason.

"Ah, you said that after the nuclear explosion, most of the electronic devices were useless. However, removing the key ingredients on this and using them as parts can still be exchanged for a small amount of useful things in many survivor bases. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen sighed and had to give up his plan to move these devices to modern times to sell.

But since these things have existed, it means that someone must be able to create them again. Jiang Chen believes that if food is used in exchange, there must be many "elites" in this world who are willing to work for him. After all, in this apocalypse, those extravagant civilian technologies are really worthless.

Weak technicians, if they do not have mastered high-end skills such as munitions, are likely to face the fate of living in the slums.

Sun Jiao didn't know where Jiang Chen fell in love with this villa, but since her employer asked her to work, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

"If I had to be blunt, it doesn't make sense to reinforce this building. As long as you don't make too much movement, those brainless zombies can't touch it at all. There's no powerful mutant creatures in this area, you're doing it purely because"

"Alright, I'm not guarding against zombies, and I know that as long as I don't provoke those disgusting guys, they won't come and provoke me. I'm trying to prevent uninvited guests from getting in, you see? You don't want to have your neck wiped while you sleep. We'll need to be in town for a while, and this will be our supply point. As he spoke, Jiang Chen glared at Sun Jiao viciously.

"Okay boss," Sun Jiao rolled her eyes and nailed the last nail to the plank. In fact, she wanted to retort: no one would be able to touch such a building that had been obviously looted.

As for why she's here, that's her secret.

"Is there a map around here?" Sitting on the somewhat moldy sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, Jiang Chen did not feel the slightest guilt about letting this beautiful woman do coolies. This girl almost tortured him just now, and it didn't feel good to be pointed at gun.

Sun Jiao was obviously very proficient in this kind of work, and soon fully reinforced the first floor of this villa. As for the materials for the transformation, they are all locally sourced

"Where's your epaid? I can pass it to you directly. ”

"Epaid?" Jiang Chen was stunned.

"That's it," Sun Jiao tapped her fingers on the wrist-mounted computer strapped to her arm, grinning as if she had heard some funny joke, "You shouldn't have it, right?"

"I can buy it. Jiang Chen smiled and touched his nose, he felt like a primitive person in front of this girl.

"It's hard to imagine that you would dare to explore the city without eP. Aren't you afraid that the radiation index in your body will exceed the standard?" Sun Jiao sighed, took out something like a large electronic watch from the portable backpack behind her and threw it to Jiang Chen, "Try it." ”

"It seems to be quite suitable, where did you get it?" Jiang Chen fiddled, surprised by the development of science and technology in this world. This thing, called eP, is very light to wear on the hand, and it doesn't feel in the way at all. The pale yellow phosphor screen displayed Jiang Chen's various physiological indicators, which seemed to be a health monitoring device.

"Taken from the corpse of an unlucky fellow. The corners of Sun Jiao's mouth grinned, that smile was obviously very sunny, but it made Jiang Chen shiver involuntarily.

***

Username: Jiang Chen

Physical Condition:

Muscle strength: 12

Bone strength: 10

Reflex nerves: 11

Brain cell activity: 14

Radiation Value: 11 (Safety)

Ailment: None

***

When he saw the radiation value, a drop of cold sweat slid across Jiang Chen's forehead. He almost forgot that this world is full of radiation, and if he stays here for a long time, he will end up sooner or later. He didn't know what radiation 11 meant, he just knew that he couldn't have been exposed to radiation until he came to this hellish place!

"Oh, all abilities are not more than 20 I say, are you really a man?" Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen's lower body with malicious intent.

"Do you want to try it?" Jiang Chen said viciously.

"The old lady is standing here, why don't you try it?" Sun Jiao stepped on the arm of the sofa with one leather boot domineeringly, and looked at Jiang Chen with a provocative look in her eyes.

, can this be endured? If you don't go now, when will you stay?

Let's wait for a while.

Jiang Chen decisively confessed.

Just kidding, regardless of whether you can beat the "barbarians" or not. Even if you can beat it (impossible), I'm afraid that when you do it, you still have to watch out for this girl biting off her own bird. Jiang Chen believed that Sun Jiao could really do this kind of thing.

That kind of pleasant thing is better to go back to modern times to do safe, and if you have money, you are afraid that there will be no women?

For some reason, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of someone, the woman who fired him, the woman who made him almost lose his financial resources and made him almost unable to live in Wanghai City, the woman who always had a cold stinky face

"What's the matter, my little boss, why did you suddenly stop talking. Sun Jiao bit the word "small" very hard, and looked at Jiang Chen's eyes with playful eyes.

"Nothing, I remembered something from the past. ”

Sun Jiao was slightly stunned, and her flat tone actually made her feel a chill. Although she didn't think that this man with a combat strength of 20 could pose any threat to her, the intuition of danger that she had cultivated over many years of wandering on the edge of life and death was indeed rarely lying.

Sun Jiao closed her mouth in amusement.

There is no need to offend a free meal ticket, you can eat enough every day, which Miss Sun Jiao never thought of before. The taste of the chicken curry was amazing, and it was the first time she had discovered such delicious food in this world. In this wasteland, it is already a very happy thing to have a piece of steamed bread to gnaw. Oh no, most people still rely on nutritional mixtures to feed their hunger. The kind of thing that can't be fed, but can't starve to death.

In addition, this not very mature boss seems to be a good person

Don't get me wrong, the word good guy is definitely a derogatory term in the wasteland. But for some reason, although she said so, she still preferred to get along with this "bad good man" than the "normal people" who could be seen everywhere in the wasteland. At the very least, you don't have to wake up to find yourself tied up in rice dumplings.

Thinking of this, Sun Jiao's somewhat dry red lips couldn't help but outline a faint smile.

"I said, do you want to laugh so creepy" For some reason, the smile on Sun Jiao's face was obviously beautiful, but it made Jiang Chen shiver.

"Don't you think my sister is very attractive when she laughs?"

"Should I answer yes or no" Looking at the gorgeous face, Jiang Chen swallowed and muttered quietly.
