Chapter 1: Not Reborn
In the chaos, consciousness reappeared at some point, and there was a strange lightness, as if it had been freed from all shackles, incomparably free but incomparably lonely. The eyes can't be opened, not only the eyes, all the senses have lost their dependence, they can't grasp the existence outside the mind, only endless darkness and nothingness.
What's wrong with me? Hey...... Who am I? Where am I?
I'm Fu Bin! With a little cut, the memory seemed to be ignited, and a large amount of information exploded, but it was a mess, and slowly, part of the clues were cleared. I don't know how long it took, a heavy feeling rushed into the body, or rather, the consciousness finally grasped the body.
The memories began to organize, and before I lost consciousness, it seemed that I had been in a car accident, and the car I was sitting in was hit hard by a human-driven pickup truck at the bend of the mountain road, and then I didn't know anything.
Damn, why isn't there a total ban on manual driving! Although all vehicles in large and medium-sized cities are self-driving, there are still many old human-driven vehicles in some small cities and suburban villages, which are the biggest hidden danger to road safety, and almost all traffic accidents in recent years are related to these vehicles.
With the feeling of stepping on the ground, Fu Bin couldn't wait to open his eyes, but after the scene in front of him gradually became clear, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the consciousness that he had finally gathered almost fell into nothingness again.
It was an ultra-modern hall, filled with soft light coming from nowhere, slightly dim in the mist, but light compared to the endless darkness before.
Fu Bin found himself lying in a transparent sink, with a tube inserted into his mouth, nostrils, navel and lower body, and through the transparent lid, he could see rows of the same sink on the side, about hundreds. However, there is a metal cover on the outside of these sinks, and it is not known if there is anyone inside.
This picture ...... Déjà vu. Consciousness is clearer again, isn't this the scene in the classic movie "The Matrix" half a century ago, when the protagonist wakes up from the virtual world?
The difference is only that there are not so many "coffins" here. Maybe it's in the hospital, but I've never heard of this kind of medical treatment, so it can't be cross-crossed, right?
Going through this kind of thing, for Fu Bin, who has a mature worldview, he absolutely does not believe it.
Or is his previous life an illusion like in the movie? Impossible, then, must be dreaming!
Dreaming, yes, details, dreams have no details. Fu Bin sat up hard first, although he felt a little weak, but it was easier than he imagined.
At this time, the liquid in the sink was quickly pumped out, and the tubes on the body began to fall off and retract, first the tubes in the mouth, then the nostrils, urethra and anus, and finally the navel.
But then his hopes were dashed again, and with a deep breath, a violent cough was caused, and then the numbness began to fade, and the senses of the body began to appear, and gradually became clear, whether it was breathing, heartbeat, or touch, it was extremely real, and no detail was unreasonable.
The consciousness is still a little trance, no matter so much, let's get out of here first.
With a single movement, the sink beneath him began to move, first rising upwards above the other sinks, and then panning along the track into a dark passage in the wall.
At this time, Fu Bin heard movement behind him, turned his head, and saw that another sink had also been opened, and there was also a person inside, who seemed to be a woman, but before he could see it clearly, there was only darkness left in front of him.
There was a little light in front of the passage, and the light was getting closer and closer, and after ten seconds, I walked out of the passage and entered a room, which was not as ultra-modern as the hall just now, just an ordinary bathroom furnishings.
Before he could see the surroundings clearly, the bottom of the sink suddenly opened, and Fu Bin fell into the bath and choked on a mouthful of water. He struggled to get up from the water, and couldn't help but complain: "Sister Nun, won't you remind me!" ”
It's really a bathroom, with all the toiletries, almost the grade of a 4-star hotel. Seeing the big mirror in front of him, Fu Bin finally began to pay attention to his body.
I am very familiar with my face, but my skin in the mirror is delicate, my pores are smooth, and the original scars on my body, as well as myopia, athlete's foot, hemorrhoids, rhinitis and other small problems have all disappeared, and I look much younger.
But it is certain that this is not the original self, but a completely new body, but it is also its own body, or rather, its own perfect state, without any diseases and scars.
Although this is undoubtedly not a bad thing, Fu Bin is even more uneasy in his heart, while looking in the mirror, he is concerned about his current situation, and the most urgent idea now is to take a look at the outside world.
What would happen if this wasn't a dream? Is it really going to be a world that is going to be a crash? But it's certain that this isn't the legendary rebirth.
The warm water in the bath was very comfortable, but Fu Bin was not in the mood to enjoy it now, so he hurriedly washed off the slippery liquid on his body and walked out of the bath.
Open a closet on the wall, there is indeed a set of clothes and boots inside, pick it up, the material and style of this dress are a bit strange, neither casual clothes nor formal wear, but a well-fitting one-piece bodysuit, the collar can be pulled into a hat, this hat can be closed to completely seal the head, and there is a transparent viewport at the eyes. It seems that this outfit can adapt to any extreme environment in a short time.
There is a number printed on the left side of the chest: A120379, it seems that this dress is indeed tailor-made for himself.
What does it mean to have your body rejuvenated and awakened from a strange place? Fu Bin was both puzzled and frightened.
Don't worry about it for now, let's get out and see what this place is.
After putting on my clothes and shoes, I walked to the door, but I didn't find a way to open the door, but this problem lasted less than a second and it didn't exist, and the door opened automatically and silently.
Outside the door was a long corridor, and halfway through, Fu Bin found a safety exit and went up directly. After climbing the stairs for a long time, when his patience and physical strength were about to reach the limit, he finally arrived at a door with a handwheel.
Fu Bin thought for a while, pulled on his hat, and then began to shake the handwheel with all his might, and the gate rumbled and moved.
Finally, a trace of white light shot in, and a human voice seemed to sound outside, Fu Bin was overjoyed, and shook the ground more and more. When the door opened to the width of one person, he couldn't wait to let go of the handwheel and squeezed out through the crack in the door.
This is a cave, but it is only about ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, so it is not very dark, and the light outside the cave is very strong, so that Fu Bin can't see the outside scene clearly, only a white expanse. Of course, this is all because he has been in the dark for a long time, and his eyes have not yet adjusted to the stronger light.
There are people outside, which means that the environment here is safe, Fu Bin took off his hat, and before his eyes could adjust to the bright light outside, he rushed out of the cave.
But after a few steps, he saw the entrance to the cave clearly, and stopped with another sharp brake.
A man and a woman are fighting each other with swords at the entrance of the cave, which is a little strange, what age is this, and there are still people who use swords? What's even stranger is that the man is an Oriental, while the woman is a blonde, blue-eyed, tall Western beauty, who is wearing the same clothes as herself.
What's even more strange is that the sword in the hands of the two is not an ordinary sword, but a weapon with a glowing blade and a sense of technology. That being the case, why not use firearms?
However, the fight between the two is not intense, it is more like a fight, or a drill. The two sides seem to have been trained for a long time, and their movements are like flowing water, which makes people unaware of it.
Especially the oriental young man, his footwork is smart, his movements are wide open and closed, and they are continuous, seemingly intermittent. On the other hand, the movements of that Western beauty, although they are also very attractive, are slightly stiff in comparison, that is, they are stronger than ordinary people.
The two naturally discovered Fu Bin's appearance a long time ago, but they just glanced at it, and then stopped paying attention, it seemed that his appearance was a very normal and commonplace thing, just like a person chatting on the side of the road saw someone else coming out of the bank.
No, not two, but three. There was also a Western young man with a wooden expression on the side, looking at the two of them without saying a word, and when he saw Fu Bin, he just turned his gaze.
At this time, the two suddenly stopped, and the young man spoke: "Okay, Sister Yu, you have made a lot of progress today, but Sister Yun is coming out, let's get here first." ”
When he opened his mouth, Fu Bin breathed a sigh of relief. Because this person speaks Chinese, no matter whether this is a foreign country or not, at least I don't have to worry about the language barrier in this place.
"Okay!" The Western beauty nodded slightly panting, and said in slightly stiff Chinese: "Hey, it seems that this newcomer came out of the safety ladder, he is really young and energetic." ”
The young man shook his head: "Sister Yu, how do you see it?" I still can't tell. ”
Damn, you're blind, why don't I look like a young man anymore? Fu Bin scolded in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the Western beauty said in a matter-of-fact manner: "You are too young, at my age, or if you have seen more people, you can tell the difference." ”
As soon as she said this, Fu Bin was not calm, what did she mean? This beauty looks to be in her twenties, even if it is not more tender than the man, but at least it is not much older.
Is it because you are blind? But when I think about the situation I just had, should I ......
Just when Fu Bin was guessing, the Western beauty shook his hand at him: "Hey, boy, why don't you take the elevator?" ”
"Elevator, is there an elevator?" Fu Bin asked weakly.
As if to answer his words, there was a squeak on the side, and Fu Bin looked back to see that there was an elevator door on the other side of the cave wall at the staircase he came out, which happened to open at this time.
