Chapter 1: The Nightmare Begins
Beneath the dome of the fiery clouds, the boy knelt at a strange crossroads.
Rusty street signs silently illustrate the ruin of the city, and the incessant sound of gunfire and the wails of the dying means that the flower of death is about to bloom.
He suddenly lowered his head, but he couldn't see the face of the person he was holding in his arms. All he knew was that she was no longer breathing.
Silent teardrops slipped down his face. At this moment, he heard a familiar mockery.
It's his own voice!
The young man looked at the source of the sound suddenly, but saw that he was exactly the same himself!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
On February 27, 2018, there are 100 days left before the college entrance examination.
"Yu Tang! Yu Tang! If you dare to sleep in class next time, you will get out of here! ”
The head teacher, Lao Wu, pushed his black-rimmed glasses and shook his head at the sloppy boy with blank eyes and an explosive hairstyle.
Yu Tang is eighteen years old this year, and was born in Yuanyu Town, a border town in the country of abundance in the west of the Shenzhou Continent. When he was three years old, his parents were forced to go out to work to make ends meet, leaving him to live with his elderly grandmother. Yu Tang and his grandmother live in a sparsely populated small village more than ten miles away from the town, and they are standard left-behind children.
Unruly in addition to his somewhat cynical personality, he has never done anything harmful. Although Yu Tang's grades are usually poor, the teachers are also happy to be idle and too lazy to care about him.
But this coincided with the college entrance examination, and everyone else in the classroom was working hard except for him sleeping, and Lao Wu was worried that he would disturb the morale of the army and hit morale, so he angrily scolded this lazy chicken nest boy. Of course, also because of ...... Usually this guy is silently in a daze or sleeping in a corner where no one is paying attention, but today he actually said some unknown dream words...... It caused a lot of laughter.
Yu Tang was awakened by this thunderous sound, stood up suddenly, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the collar of his school uniform, and looked at Lao Wu with a sloppy look.
This dream is too real.
He saw an apocalyptic vision.
His body sat uncontrollably on his knees in a ruined city. As far as the eye can see, there are devastation. An inexplicable sadness flooded into his mind like a tide, and it should ...... Is it the sorrow of the death of the person in your arms?
But who is she? Why am I so sad?
And also...... Why did the person who was exactly like himself let out such a mocking laugh?
"I'll definitely save her!" Yu Tang stared at this person who was exactly the same as himself, and uncontrollably said something that he didn't understand himself, only to see himself on the other side show his signature cynical smile, and gradually disappear into nothingness.
"Guapier, you were talking about a hammer just now, do you know what Lao Tzu told you?"
Lao Wu saw that Yu Tang was scared by himself and stood there in a daze, and he didn't mean to apologize, so he said in a dialect angrily.
Yu Tang, whose eyes were blank, did not answer Lao Wu, but turned around and walked towards the outside of the classroom.
"You turtle for Lao Tzu to climb!" Lao Wu shouted angrily at Yu Tang from behind him.
But Yu Tang didn't pay attention to him at all, but walked out of the classroom silently, leaving behind the whispering classmates and the angry old Wu with a red neck.
After school at noon, the rooftop of the school building.
"I'll rub it, Yu Tang, you can do it, Lao Wu, you dare to ignore it! Haha, he spoke in the classroom in the morning, if you don't go to the office today to explain it to him, you won't come tomorrow. ”
A fat man flexibly climbed over the obstacles between the corridors on the roof that prevented students from going to the rooftop, and smiled and handed Yu Tang an egg fried rice to Yu Tang, who was in a daze on the rooftop.
The person who came was Yu Tang's sworn friend, Wang Qu.
"Why...... This dream...... So real...... It's as if it really happened. ”
Yu Tang didn't pay attention to Wang Qu, but stared into the distance, and there were words in his mouth.
Wang Qu noticed that Yu Tang's expression was wrong, and patted him on the cheek, "Hey, Yu Tang, wake up, don't dream, there are still 100 days to take the college entrance examination, and if you don't review, it's too late!" ”
Only then did Yu Tang come back to his senses, took the egg fried rice handed over by Wang Qu, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then grabbed his explosive head, squatted on the ground and devoured it.
It is also strange to say that a "three-good student" like Wang Qu will mix with a person like Yu Tang who has no ideals and ambitions when he is young. Don't look at Wang Qu's mediocre appearance, he has a pair of oversized black-framed glasses on his honest and red face, and he has been obese since he was a child because of his family genetics, but his IQ is surprisingly high. As a child, he won the first place in each subject in this border town, and also won the only place to represent the town in the national competition.
This stunned was borrowed from the teacher and won the first place in the national competition with the tattered competition textbook that had been turned over by a few people, which caused a lot of sensation in the town that year, and even received an invitation to be exempted from the examination of Beiqinghu University, the highest university in the country, in the second year of high school, which can be described as promising.
Yu Tang, on the other hand, was named because his father's surname was Tang and his mother's surname was Yu. As his name suggests, he has facial features as beautiful as his name, but his natural appearance as the hero of the novel completely obscures his exaggerated explosive head and notorious scruffy dress. And he was secretly discussed and ridiculed by his classmates because of his iconic hair and eternally sloppy outfit, and was also used as a negative teaching material by the adults in the town to warn and educate his children, so he is also known in the town.
The two met because of a bowl of egg fried rice. Wangqu's house is the only restaurant in the town, and the name of this restaurant is "Egg Fried Rice House". The reason for this name is because the Wang Qu family has only passed down the secret recipe of egg fried rice from generation to generation. Since his great-grandfather started running this restaurant, he set up an ancestral motto, and the store only sells egg fried rice.
When Yu Tang was 10 years old, the town ushered in the coldest winter ever. Yu Tang's grandmother was old and cold, and she couldn't move while lying on the bed. In addition to their families, there are only a few young people in the village who have gone to work in other places, and it is a place of death before the Spring Festival.
Xiao Yu Tang didn't know how to cook, so he could only go to the next village to ask for help in the cold wind, but he was frozen to the point of not mentioning, and because he was usually a little malnourished, and he hadn't eaten for a long time, he fainted from hunger at the entrance of the next village.
Fortunately, he was found by Wang Qu, who was on his way to the village to deliver food. Wang Qu gave him half of his lunch - of course, it was also egg fried rice, but with full of fatherly love, adding a lot of his favorite bacon - to him, Yu Tang directly grabbed a handful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth, and then covered it in his cotton jacket and ran home.
Since then, the two have known each other. - In Dr. Wang Qu's memoirs, he called the encounter - "I'm sorry, I opened Pandora's box with my own hands".
