Chapter 2: Insect Tide (2)

After Shirai Yan figured it all out, the man handed him a new set of clothes.

"Thank you." These two words came out of Bai Jingyan's mouth with difficulty, and his brain was a little dull, and he had not fully reacted from this incident.

He crossed.

Unlike what he saw in those novels on the Internet, he really crossed over once. People are still there, and they are still on Earth, but it's the year 2181.

The origin of the bug, the man told him, it is called the faceless worm, it is very rare, and it is good at digging wormholes in time and space. As for why it appeared in Bai Jingyan's martial arts hall, this is really a coincidence with a very low probability, so low that it almost does not exist, but it still made Bai Jingyan bump into it.

As for why there is such a thing on the earth, the man said that the amount of information is a bit large, and he will take the time to explain it to him slowly, in short, this faceless insect is very rare, but it does not mean that it does not exist, and if Bai Jingyan wants to go back to the past, it is not impossible.

Hearing this, Bai Jingyan was slightly relieved. If you can go back, your experience will definitely cause a sensation! When the time comes, reporters from all walks of life will flock to interview themselves, and they will also be invited to various TV shows, becoming famous and rich overnight, that feeling, don't be too cool.

Before he could think about it for a moment, the man stood up and said, "Since you said that it was night before you came, then I won't disturb your rest for now." When you adjust the jet lag, we'll talk slowly. ”

Seeing that he was leaving, Bai Jingyan hurriedly got up to see him off. Although this man did not reveal any information about him, Bai Jingyan also has some small experience of his own in dealing with people, and in his opinion, this man should not be an ordinary person.

"What do you call Big Brother!?"

"Xue Lai." His eyes met Bai Jingyan's, and the latter was slightly stunned when he saw his blue eyes.

……

After Bai Jingyan woke up, a female voice suddenly came to his ears.

"You're awake!"

Bai Jingyan felt that this voice was very beautiful, and the other party must also be a beauty. Looking around, I saw that there was no one else in the house but myself.

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT, I'M CRISTINA." Female voices came from all directions.

The TV in the room suddenly lit up. Of course, it's just that Bai Jingyan thinks this thing is like a TV. A young girl on the screen is smiling at him. "It's twelve o'clock in Iberian time, and the weather: sunny."

"Iberia, where is this?" Bai Jingyan was a little confused.

"Iberia, located on the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, is also home to the city of Madrid, where you are located." Cristina said, and then a map of the world appeared on the screen, and Shirai looked at it, isn't this Spain?

"Spain is the name of the regime here thirty years ago, and it is also the collective name of the culture of the former Iberian people." "You're a new time-traveler and don't understand the current situation, and I can explain it to you." Her voice sounded slowly, "Would you like a cup of coffee?" ”

On the fully automated table, there is already a yellow mug at the moment, two mechanical arms stretch out from the wall, pouring steaming milk into it, Cristina talks eloquently: "Since the beginning of 2150, the "eggs" left in the earth by alien civilizations have begun to awaken and launch an attack on humans on the earth. From this year, known as the first year of the insect tide, the earth became turbulent. ”

Cristina vanishes from the screen, followed by a series of video clips of giant bugs sweeping through the human army, tanks impaled by their giant jaws and exploding, seemingly indestructible.

"Why don't you bomb them with nuclear weapons?"

"Their shells are very resistant to radiation, and nuclear weapons will do them much less harm than the planet, which is not a very good option." At some point, Xue Lai came to this room, and he smiled and said, "Young man, you need to know more about this world. ”

Bai Jingyan listened carefully for a while, and then he had a preliminary understanding of today's world.

In the year 2150, for the first time, various biological mutations appeared in various parts of the earth, and monsters attacked human society, and the end came.

Each country abolishes its own regime and establishes an era of unified human alliance to resist the monster invasion together.

Later, someone found out the source of this group of monsters, and it turned out that there were seeds left by alien civilizations all over the earth, and this "seed" was called the existence of the nest.

It is difficult to understand in detail, but one can understand it as the "eggs" left on Earth by extraterrestrial civilizations. And these "eggs", which had been asleep in the past, are now awake.

For the sake of convenience, people call the era in which they appeared "the Worm Tide Period". Because, most of the first group of monsters to appear are similar in appearance to giant insects.

Although more advanced species later appeared, and people found that insect tides could not be generalized, everyone called it that way because of habit.

At this time, human technology has developed to a certain extent, and it also has the strength to fight against insect tides. However, the population has plummeted to the level of one billion people, and only about 8 percent of the original population remains.

Now in 2181, thirty-one years have passed since the insect tide appeared, and now the situation on the earth has gradually stabilized.

The Zerg and the humans each occupy half of the territory of the earth, and each side has its own stronghold, and the territory is intertwined like two long snakes, chaotic together.

Bai Jingyan stared blankly at the red and blue power map on the screen, the blue side is the territory of the human race, and there are many city names marked on it, almost all of which are the metropolises of Shirai Yan's time. On the contrary, the base of the Zerg, except for the city, almost every corner of the earth is occupied by them.

He was a little surprised and asked, "You actually defended so many cities?" ”

"Urban warfare is in our favor, and each of our cities has a very strong defense system, and it is very difficult for them to attack them." Xue said, "But it is also very difficult for us to regain the territory of the non-city. ”

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, "Okay friend, you have a general understanding of the situation here." What I want to say is, since you are here, you have to have something to do, I have a few jobs under my hands, do you want to do it? ”

Bai Jingyan didn't expect this guy to start negotiating terms with him so soon. He knew in his heart that if he crossed over, the other party would not be able to eat and drink for nothing, on the contrary, if he couldn't do anything, he might not be able to gain a foothold in this city.

"I have a question first!"

"You say." Xue Lai stared at Bai Jingyan's eyes and said.

"Ugh. I wonder, when will I be able to go back in time? Bai Jingyan asked.

If he had to make a choice, he would definitely choose to go back in time. First of all, there is no need to say much about the peaceful era, and secondly, he is the identity of a time traveler, as long as he brings back some things from the future world, it is enough to cause a sensation.

In the future, there are still my friends and family members in that world, if I can't go back, won't I never see them for the rest of my life?

"You must find the faceworm." Xue Lai suddenly smiled, "After you find the Faceless Worm, you won't have a chance to go back to the past until it opens the space-time tunnel." But I'll talk about it first, the other end of the space-time tunnel of the faceless worm is completely random, maybe the past, maybe the future, if you want to go back to that night many years ago, it's almost impossible, at most, it may go back to 2015, or it may go back to 2022, in short, it's closer, but it's not accurate. ”

Bai Jingyan fell into deep thought. He understood what Xue Lai meant, he was right, it was impossible to go back accurately. But if it's close to that point in time, there's no problem.

"But how do I find it?" Bai Jingyan raised his head and looked at Xue Lai.

"The first thing you have to do is survive here." Xue Lai said slowly, smiling. "Only if you survive, you have a chance to go back, right?"

Bai Jingyan nodded.

"So back to the topic we just had." Xue Lai sat down beside him, and Cristina brought a cup of the same coffee to him.

"You're lucky to have met me." Xue Lai made a three-figure gesture, "I have three paths here that you can choose." One, go to military service, so that you have the opportunity to meet the faceless worm and go back to the past, but you must know that there is also a risk of being eaten by bugs. Speaking of this, he paused, "The second and third are to go to logistics to learn support work, if you are smart and learn some skills, or you work hard and do some manual work." This kind of work can allow you to spend your life in this troubled world, but you don't have a chance to find the faceworm, and naturally you can't go back to the past. ”

It's a tough choice. Bai Jingyan fell into thought. Xue Lai was not impatient, and waited silently for a reply beside him.

After about five minutes, Shirai Yan seemed to have decided. "I choose one!" He spoke.

Xue Lai was a little surprised, as if he was a little unexpected. He said: "I have seen many time travelers like you, but you seem to be the only one who has chosen the first path, can you tell me why?" ”

Bai Jingyan thought for a moment, "I don't want to live. Even if it's dead. ”

Xue Lai nodded and stood up, "Okay, you come with me." ”
