Chapter 1: Crossing
Screams, explosions, pain.
Stars are shattered, galaxies are distorted.
Everything was being torn apart, torn apart, and reduced to ashes, as if the end had come.
···
"Wake up..."
“··· Xu Ping'an, can you hear me?"
"And the heartbeat, let me come..."
In the dimly lit cave, a torch was stuck in the ground, and it was emitting a flickering light.
A figure lying on the ground, as if awakened from a nightmare, suddenly rolled over and sat up.
It was a young man who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, a small head, a blue-and-white tracksuit stained with mud, and an ordinary face that could not be found in the crowd.
As soon as he woke up, the young man quickly got up from the ground, a fierce and resolute look flashed on his face, and then he saw the surrounding environment clearly, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face and eyes:
"Where is this?"
“··· It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up, it's scared us to death..."
"Xu Ping'an, you, you don't know where this is, you won't have amnesia, will you?"
Beside him, there were two men who were also young and wearing the same style of sportswear, looking at him nervously.
"Xu Ping'an... My name is Xu Ping'an?"
The young man with a public face stopped his movements in confusion and asked in a low voice, and then, he felt something detonate in his mind, and a large number of memories gushed out.
The memory of a man named "Xu Ping'an".
Xu Ping'an, born in 1992, is a native of Taiya Federation, Nanjiang Province and Xuanshi, and is now a student in the sixth class of the third grade of Xuanshi No. 3 Senior High School, 18 years old this year...
When he was born, his mother died in childbirth, and his father pulled him to grow up alone, in order to give him the best possible life, his father entered the other world to work ten years ago, and he has not been with him since he was a child...
Due to the lack of parental care and companionship, since elementary school, the grades have been at the bottom of the class, the real 10,000-year crane tail, fortunately, the Taiya Federation implements fifteen years of compulsory education, so that you can still go to high school...
Two years ago, his father died in an accident while working in another world, and Xu Ping'an, who had reached the age of sixteen, began to live alone, and the cost of living was the pension in exchange for his father's death...
His last memory was of this dimly lit cave, where he smelled a strong stench, saw an ugly face, and a strong wind coming towards his head.
“··· That's who I am... Xu Ping'an?"
The public-faced young man muttered to himself, and at the same time slowly closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
No, of course he is not Xu Ping'an, just now he has been looking at the life of this "Xu Ping'an" with a high-minded, outsider's gaze.
The real him should be a warrior who crisscrosses countless starry planes and fights against terrifying enemies in the void, and his full real name should be called... No, he stopped calling for his real name just in time, and he couldn't even say his name silently in his heart, because that might cause unnecessary trouble.
But he shouldn't have died? in the midst of that boundless catastrophe...
He thought back to his last scene before he lost consciousness.
An intense, warm white glow enveloped him.
A voice whispered in his ear over and over again:
'That terrible dark force, back in this universe, still wants to destroy everything we hold dear, and in order to stop it, you must live, stop it...
I see, the war is not over yet, then... I'm "Xu Ping'an".
He thought so, and at the same time opened his eyes suddenly, and there was no trace of confusion in his eyes.
···
"Xu Ping'an, look at us, do you remember..."
"Damn, Andy, you won't really be knocked out by kobolds and lose your memory, will you?"
The other two figures, one was tall and thin, and through the dim light of the torches, he could see that his face was full of pimples, while the other was short and stocky, with glasses, and a somewhat obscene expression on his face.
Relevant memories naturally come to mind, as if you were using a computer's search system to search for keywords.
The thin, tall, and pimple-bearing boy is called Li Sansheng, nicknamed "Third Aunt"; the short, short, chubby, glasses-wearing boy is called Tie Chenyu, nicknamed Tie Fat, and these two are Xu Ping'an's only "good friends."
“··· Third aunt, Tie Fat, don't worry, I'm fine, I remember. ”
"Xu Ping'an" stretched out a hand, patted the shoulders of the two partners in front of him, one fat and one thin, and said comfortingly.
Disguised, blended in, and as skillful as instinct, he wasn't in the slightest surprised by his excellent performance.
That's right, because he has long been a mature actor.
The thin and tall boy took a long breath, stepped forward and hugged Xu Ping'an, and said, "Damn, you are really scared of us, if you don't wake up again, we can only go out and call the police." ”
"I said it would be fine, Andy, can you continue?"
Tie Chenyu, a short and fat spectacled boy, also patted Xu Ping'an's shoulder and said.
"I don't know, let me rest for a few more minutes, my head still hurts a little. ”
Xu Ping'an stretched out his hand and nodded his head, and pulled the corners of his mouth, he needed to understand the situation again.
"Okay, Andy, you drink some water and rest first. ”
The little fat man Tie Chenyu nodded again and again, if Xu Ping'an said that he would not explore, Li Sansheng would have to accompany him, and he would definitely not dare to continue alone.
Xu Ping'an sat on the ground, took a bottle of mineral water handed by Li Sansheng and drank it, while carefully looking at the surrounding environment.
Apparently a cave, technically an abandoned mine?
In the middle of the cavern floor, metal tracks can be seen, but these tracks are clearly in disrepair, covered with rust, and many sections are missing.
The track was littered with stones, ores, rags, and broken pickaxes.
What attracted Xu Ping'an's attention was that behind him, there was an oval-shaped purple light cluster about half a person high, which was slowly rotating like a whirlpool, and the dots of light escaped from the edge, looking beautiful and full of strange beauty.
This is a small portal, through it, you can go back to the "Blue Star", outside is No. 512 Renmin Street, Xuanshi, a warehouse, is the warehouse where the clothing store opened by Li Sansheng's family stacks up the goods.
This information naturally emerged, just like he was really Xu Ping'an, and through "association", more relevant memories were involved.
The world to which Xu Ping'an belongs is called Blue Star, and on this planet, more than ten years ago, many "portals" of different sizes and colors have mysteriously emerged.
Behind these portals, there are completely different worlds, large or small, some of the grand worlds may be larger than the blue star, and some small worlds may be a small room of a few square meters.
The other worlds behind these portals, with advanced technology, have reached the point of crossing the sea of stars, and the most wild of them are still in the Jurassic and Cretaceous eras, and even some worlds are simply indescribable "ghost horror world" and "demon purgatory"...
Speaking of which, the world behind these portals is like the embodiment of all the fantasies of human beings...
The appearance of these portals completely changed the future of this world.
Through the reclamation of these "other worlds", in addition to transferring the world-wide crises and obtaining endless wealth, what is more exciting is the "evolutionary significance" of the individual!
Fighting, studying, and exercising in the other world behind the portal, an ordinary vegetable grower and dishwasher will have the opportunity to transform into a martial arts master, a great magician, or even a "god"!
To put it another way... The world behind these portals is like an "online game"!
Although the strength obtained in the other world will be greatly reduced when returning to the Blue Star, no matter how bad it is, there are many examples of getting rich overnight, enhancing physical fitness, and prolonging life.
Under this kind of temptation, since the appearance of the portal, the "Otherworldly Development" activity that has spread all over the world has been completely launched, and countless people have flocked to the portal with the dream of gold panning in the other world, to find a new future.
Even the various curriculum knowledge taught in the school has been greatly adjusted, and many new courses have appeared-Biology in another world, dangerous knowledge in another world, etc., and military training is also necessary to learn and master thermal weapons...
"Xu Ping'an, this is the kobold who attacked you, we have killed it to avenge you, but this girl is too rubbish, and there are only two copper coins on her body. ”
Li Sansheng's voice came from the other side.
