Ning'an City, late spring and early summer.

The mechanical electronic ringing made Wang An wake up from his dream on time, and the surroundings were gray, and only the outline of the object could be seen.

I looked at the time, seven fifty.

Jumped out of bed and heard a cat meow. Opening the small lock under the door, a cat quietly came out, jumped on the table, looked at Wang An, and barked.

Wang An broke a piece of black bread and placed it in front of the cat.

"I went early last night to divide the food and got a few extra pieces of bread."

He scratched the kitten's chin and said.

As for whether cats are suitable for bread......

Living on the ground floor, who cares about that? It's all about surviving.

Watching the cat bow her head to replenish starch, Wang An returned to the bedside.

His house used to be a dormitory or something, with one bedroom and a small bathroom. The living room and bedroom are integrated, and the area is not large, only about ten square meters.

However, Wang An didn't put anything in this room, only a small bed in the corner, so it was relatively empty.

Hold your breath and keep your breath still, your mind surging.

After ten minutes, I opened my eyes and took a deep breath.

Still is...... There is no "awakening".

He was used to it, one might even say numb, not disappointed or not disappointed.

After the destruction, the aura of this world continued to recover, but only a very few people were able to "awaken" their abilities in the process, gain greater strength than mortals, and enjoy the benefits of aura revival.

People who do not have the ability to awaken will do everything they can to awaken themselves.

Wang An's parents taught him this set of exercises without a name, and he doesn't know where his parents got it. According to Wang An's father, practicing this set of exercises can increase the chances of awakening ability.

I used to cultivate because of my parents.

The purpose of cultivating now is to allow yourself to get rid of the current environment!

It's just that although he has been cultivating for more than ten years, he still has no awakening ability, and he is still just an ordinary person.

After sitting for a while, Wang An walked into the narrow bathroom, turned on the light, and Wang An brushed his teeth and washed his face with smelly water.

Look up at the cracked mirror.

In the mirror was a young man of about twenty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. There are muscle lines on the body that can be called healthy, but what is not suitable for this muscle line is the skin that has not seen sunlight all year round, so that it is white and close to transparent.

Wang An moved his neck, rolled his eyelids and lips to observe his gums, but there was no bleeding. This shows that the nutrition has been quite comprehensive recently, and there are no problems.

The hair is long, it can be said to be unkempt, or it can be said to be unruly.

Wang An was a little helpless to tie up these long hairs casually.

This is a by-product of his practice of this set of exercises.

After so many years, the exercises have not improved, but my hair has grown extremely vigorously, and I have a special personality.

is fluffy, and it is simply full of the words "unruly".

"Duke Blue, Duke Blue."

He shouted, went over and scratched the cat's chin, and said, "If there is something today, it depends on you to take care of the house." ”

The cat barked again, seemed to understand what Wang An said, and lay down.

Wang An put on a slightly smaller suit, put on a cheap red tie, and turned his head to show off to the cat: "How is it?" Okay, right? ”

The cat turned its head in disgust.

Wang An smiled and rubbed the cat's head, and said, "Don't have any opinions!" ”

Regardless of the cat's resistance under his hands, Wang An shook his collar, gently pushed open the door, and raised his head.

Overhead, the sky is divided into several sections by layers of high-rise buildings.

The uppermost layer is closer to the sun, the fresh air. It's farther away from a foul-smelling gutter on the ground, buzzing flies.

For some reason, Wang An could only stay on the ground floor.

The sky as far as you can see every day is only a slender slit. Sometimes rain falls through this crevice, turning their world into a swamp.

The ground was always wet, dirty, and stinky. Walking here, you can't think about what is hygiene and what is cleanliness. Don't make a fuss about the occasional corpse or two – there will always be a machine to carry the corpses, and sooner or later.

Reiki revival will make life cheaper.

Wang An heard his dead father say this.

And now, he's going through it all.

Close the wooden door, jump over a few broken steps, step through the wet street, and look at your electronic bracelet under a traffic light that is about to die.

This bracelet has many functions, but the most basic function is to "monitor" everyone.

The signal of the bracelet was a little bad, and it was knocked a few times by Wang An, which showed new news.

"Citizen 9A3022, you must arrive at the designated location on the sixth floor above ground within thirty minutes, and you have obtained the relevant electronic clearance."

Wang An looked up at the sky again.

The sixth floor above ground is at least 200 meters above the ground, and from Wang An's position, there is no way to see there. He could only imagine everything there.

The day has finally arrived.

He thought.

He shook his palms and hurried across the wide streets. The light here is dim, the vehicles are scarce, and more are abandoned iron shelves.

There were a number of abandoned vehicles there, and there may have been human remains among them. But so much time has passed, so far back that humanity built the edifice of heaven after the destruction and abandoned everything on the ground, so that even these vehicles were finally left unattended. It slowly rusted and collapsed in the water, and eventually only a part of the iron frame stood there unconsciously.

They have no intention of expressing anything, and no one cares what they used to mean.

Walking into the elevator leading to the upper floor at the corner of the block, Wang An gently moved his neck and wrist.

His parents, both former soldiers, fought in many battles and died in battle. The share of property left to Wang An was also intercepted by someone. He was also framed by that person and "fell" to the ground floor.

Now that Wang An has reached the age of twenty and is close to ten years after the death of his parents, he must awaken his abilities as soon as possible, return to the third floor above the ground, and have full citizenship.

Otherwise, once the ten-year legal retrospective period has passed, everything left by his parents will have nothing to do with him at all.

He quietly looked at the dim world outside the elevator window.

Theoretically, every child in the city would have enough compulsory education to go all the way to high school.

But in fact, on the ground floor, this kind of school is always in a state of chaos and free-range.

There are no normal teachers to teach, and there are no normal students to listen to the classes.

Everything is just four words: fend for itself.

If Wang An stays on the ground floor, if he has a child in the future, the child can only stay on the ground floor, endure this harsh environment, and live forever......

Looking at all this, thinking about all this, Wang Anxin secretly made up his mind.

In any case, this opportunity cannot be passed up.

The elevator was very fast and stopped at the third floor above ground.

Several "social animals" wearing suits, ties, and briefcases walked in. When they saw Wang An, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

They stood in the other corner of the elevator, muttering something.

Wang An's ears were quite sensitive, and he could roughly hear these people talking about themselves. How could a person on the ground reach such a high position.

However, the topic soon shifted to the fifth floor above ground.

That's what these people are aiming for tonight, they drink, they find women, they consume their meager salaries and their mundane lives.

But now they are already the target of Wang An's envy.

Even if these people don't have the ability to awaken, as long as they don't "make mistakes", they can stay on the third floor of the ground forever. He may not have the opportunity to go to the next level in his life, but he will not struggle on the ground floor like Wang An.

From the sixth layer, it is the human world that has awakened its abilities. Starting from the sixth floor above ground, "strength" is the benchmark for everything!

On the sixth floor, the door opens.

Wang An walked out.

This is a place he has never been, even when his parents were alive, the family only lived on the fourth floor above ground, and although it was only a few dozen meters away from the sixth floor above ground, they never had the opportunity to come up.

Booming!

This is the only sentence that Wang An can express in the face of this environment.

His level of knowledge is not high, and his ability to express himself is limited.

Still looking around at the crystal world, full of delicate glass walls, where the crystal lamp was, a levitating robot with a red charm painted on its body - a charm that would save the machine from being polluted by evil, flew over.

The bracelet with Wang An completed the communication in an instant.

"Citizen 9A3022., you have entered the controlled area, you can only follow me, exceeding the line is a violation, you will be punished for the violation."

The robot's voice is very stiff and has no ups and downs.

If it weren't for the relevant words appearing on its "face" at the same time, Wang An would probably not understand what it said.

The place he was going to was not far from the elevator, which allowed him to avoid the embarrassing situation of being watched by everyone. It was the first time he had come to the sixth floor above ground, and likewise, the people on the sixth floor had seen visitors to the first floor very rarely.

Although everyone covered their mouths and noses when they saw Wang An, even from a distance of dozens of meters, it seemed that just looking at Wang An would be polluted by the smell of the ground layer.

But this does not affect these people to see Wang An as a novel toy.

The characteristic skin of the inhabitants of the first floor of the ground, which is not exposed to sunlight all year round, and is almost transparent. The strong figure characteristic of Wang An's military descendants, and his long and dense hair that fell all the way to his waist made him look unruly.

Either way, it could make Wang An instantly become the focus of these people on the sixth floor above ground.

All this until Wang An walked into a small room.

The furnishings in the room were simple, a desk, and half of the faces of the three people behind the table were hidden in the darkness that the light could not shine.

Seeing Wang An coming in, he lit the chair opposite the table and motioned for Wang An to sit down.
