Chapter 1 Lightning strikes twice in a row
The torrential rain poured, and the streets of the city were soaked in rain, and the soft glow of the street lamps became more and more blurry under the embellishment of the rain. The streets of summer were also deserted by the sudden rainstorm. At this moment, it was close to midnight, and Liu Li, who had just finished working overtime, was helplessly running in the torrential rain with his briefcase.
"The weather forecasts are really all tricks. The complaint in his heart can't change the reality that he is about to be soaked, and now Liu Li has only one wish in his heart - hurry up to the station, otherwise he will suffer tonight. Putting the rainstorm aside, assuming he can't get to the station on time at half past eleven, then he won't be able to catch the last train is the most fatal thing.
A purple-red lightning pierced the night sky, followed by rolling thunder, and Liu Li, who was running, was shocked, "How do you feel that this lightning is so close." Of course, he didn't have time to think about it, because the smell of his soaked clothes on his body didn't give him any more energy to think about these things.
From the first lightning bolt piercing the night sky, Liu Li gradually had a strange feeling in his heart, "Why do you always feel that this lightning is getting closer and closer to me, it can't be someone who is traveling nearby, right?" Then he laughed at himself again: "It seems that I have read too many novels recently." ”
Hurried to the station, seeing the tail lights of the last train getting farther and farther away, Liu Li, who wanted to cry without tears, could only comfort herself in her heart: "Alas, it's already soaked anyway, and the three stops are not very far." ”
Liu Li's work requires overtime every once in a while, but he has never chosen to walk home as a frugal way. God knows why there is a wasteland in this still bustling city, between home and work. There is no trace of this modern city on that stretch of road, except for street lights, and there is not even a single tree on either side.
"In this kind of weather, I don't think I will encounter any people who don't have long eyes to rob me. This is Liu Li's second self-consolation tonight.
Just as Liu Li walked to the location of the wasteland with a broken jar, another lightning bolt pierced the sky, different from the previous purple-red light, the blue light almost blinded Liu Li's eyes. It was too close, and the lightning fell straight down not far from the right front, in the middle of the wasteland, only a dozen meters away from him. Liu Li was so frightened that she jumped backwards like a fried cat, and then sat on the ground, gasping for breath, trying to calm her heartbeat.
"What's that?" Liu Li, who gradually stabilized his mind, noticed that something seemed to be glowing at the landing point of the lightning just now, which was by no means firelight, and it was different from the flickering and extinguishing of electric sparks. For some reason, that touch of blue deeply attracted Liu Li, so that he walked over unconsciously.
Just as Liu Li wanted to take a closer look at the floating soil on the ground, the blue in the sky that was almost exactly the same as before shone again, and Liu Li's last thought in this world was two, one was "Sure enough, curiosity kills the cat, huh...... And people who have cats. And then there...... "What if you say that lightning won't strike the same place twice?"
In the haze, Liu Li seemed to smell the fresh smell of grass mixed with dew, and the crackling sound of firewood burning gradually sounded in his ears...... There is also an unfamiliar language. Slowly opening his eyes, the blurred vision was the sparse leaves and the starry sky looming through the leaves. Gradually recalling the previous experience, Liu Li, who was strong and energetic, only felt that he couldn't lift a little strength in his body, and it was very difficult to even move his fingers.
"Where is this?" The voice was weak, almost inaudible, but it was enough to interrupt the conversation in an unfamiliar language that had been heard before. It didn't take long for a slightly delicate female face to appear in Liu Li's field of vision. She turned her head and said something, Liu Li was even more sure that it was not any known language, but she only thought that she had only told her companion the news of her awakening.
Suddenly, a sharp stinging pain exploded in his mind, and before he lost consciousness, Liu Li tilted his head slightly, and what he saw was the two full moons hanging high in the clear starry sky.
Pure darkness, pure silence. Liu Li's consciousness was still awake, but he couldn't feel anything, he seemed to have his eyes open, but he couldn't feel a trace of light like blindness. I tried to listen, but no sound came to my ears. I can't even feel it in my own body. In the midst of my confusion, a touch of blue appeared, and pictures appeared in front of me—torrential rain, thunder, and myself hurrying in the rain, lightning, roaring, and blue flickering in the wasteland. Suddenly, the picture in front of him shattered and scattered, and a sigh came from his ears: "Alas, this is just an accident, we will let you live, and the rest can only rely on yourself." ”
"Wait!Who are you?Where am I?What have you done to me?" Liu Li found that he could make a sound, but his question was destined to go unanswered, and his consciousness fell into chaos again.
Liu Li was awakened by a burst of birds and insects, and the feeling of weakness in his body was reduced a lot, although he still couldn't lift his strength, but at least he could move his fingers, or turn his head to look around. The bonfire that was about to be extinguished around him was still emitting the last residual heat, and the sky was beginning to white, but the two bright moons were still struggling and didn't want to leave.
"Wait!" Trying to raise his hands and rub his eyes, "Two full moons......? It's crossed......" Thinking of this, Liu Li couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
Ignoring the lingering feeling of weakness all over her body, Liu Li struggled to straighten up, even if she looked around, she couldn't be sure of her current situation or what she was about to face just by lying there and turning her head.
Liu Li's actions alarmed the night watch. It was a bear-like man, with a strong build, dressed in leather armor made of the skin of an unknown animal, the bulging muscles of his bare arms contained a strong explosive force, and a scar went straight down from the left eyebrow bone to the cheekbone, and you can imagine how fierce the battle that almost cost him an eye was. With a thick beard, this face looks very hideous. However, the inadvertent calmness and perseverance in the light blue eyes are very reassuring. What the man said to Liu Li, it was still in that unfamiliar language.
After two faintings, and the voice engraved in his mind that he heard in his dream, Liu Li had to accept his fate. Every undulating pause in the voice that guaranteed him to stay alive was so clear that Liu Li knew that it was definitely not an illusion.
"It's all here, let's figure out the situation first, and then I hope I can go back. With a slight sigh in his heart, Liu Li focused his attention on the person in front of him.
The bear saw that Liu Li was dumbfounded and didn't even have any reaction, and said something to Liu Li. Subconsciously, Liu Li nodded and shook his head again. He really didn't know how to react, so he could only instinctively say, "What?". The only thing to be thankful for is that it can be seen that the man does not seem to have any ill will towards him.
People say that time always passes inadvertently, but Liu Li at this moment does not feel this way at all. It's been a week since I came to this world, but the forest seems to be endless. A week is not long or short, and due to the language barrier, Liu Li can't learn more about this world from these companions around him, but at least he has gradually become familiar with these people.
A profession that has appeared in many movies, novels, etc. - mercenaries, of course, some people also like to call these people adventurers. And Team Kamal is also an inconspicuous member of the countless mercenary teams in this world. Kamal is the name of that bear, and it doesn't seem uncommon in this world to be a lazy captain who directly uses his own name as the team name. There were only three members of the team, except for the captain Kamal, a good-looking girl in her early twenties named Lian, and a silent man named Klein.
The week has not been easy, with the occasional blinding beast adding to the group's meal. Liu Li clearly remembers that on the third day of coming to this world, a creature that looks like a leopard on the earth suddenly pounced on him from the side, and it was Kamal's shield blow that smashed the beast that looked at least a few hundred pounds out of the way. Crane is adept at harassing monsters with a light sword in each hand. When dealing with sluggish prey, he will wander around his prey, retreating with a single blow, not trying to cause much damage, but can accurately restrict the movement of his prey, and when dealing with reactive enemies, he usually hides behind Kamal and harasses them when they are about to break through Kamal's defenses. The two of them formed a defensive line to create opportunities for her teammates, and Lian looked like she was only in her early twenties, but she was a good shooter, and she was not lacking in patience, and her attacks were either used to restrain the opponent and relieve the pressure on the two in front of her.
Klein is taciturn, but he has a good heart, and usually takes good care of Liu Li. After all, as an ordinary office worker with almost negative survival experience in the wild, he is originally in a weak constitution in a sub-healthy state, and due to the problem of experience, he often makes meaningless and wasteful behaviors, Liu Lichu's journey to the other world is not smooth, and can even be described as miserable. Lian is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted girl, because Liu Li has dragged down the travel speed of the entire team, she complains a lot, although the language is incomprehensible, but it can still be seen through her tone and demeanor. But with the girl's carefulness, she still gave Liu Li a lot of help in the details that Klein couldn't notice. Although he was reprimanded every time, he could still perceive the concern behind it.
It was getting dark, and Liu Li, who was sitting by the campfire, thought about Kamal's previous words, and there was a sense of trepidation and expectation in his heart - at the current speed, he would be able to reach the town in another week. Just when all kinds of thoughts were chaotic in his mind, a sky-shaking beast roared through the sky.
