Volume 1 Overture to Chaos Chapter 2 A Dream Lasts for Years
Bai Ye had a long, long dream, in which he was like a spectator, re-watching his own life. He saw that he had been left in front of the orphanage when he was a baby; He saw the word "night" tattooed on his chest, so he was named White Night by the dean; He saw his lonely and difficult childhood; read and grew up in cold eyes and ridicule; experienced ignorant love, but dropped out of school in anger in emotional deception and betrayal; Alone at the bottom of society, until the end of the world comes!
Bai Ye did not feel the existence of space and the flow of time, and the experience of the first half of his life was like a movie unfolding in front of his eyes, and he was in the middle of it. It was as if he had watched a show of his own, and it was as if he had re-experienced his life. He seemed to have spent the last twenty years again, but it seemed like it was only a short moment.
When Bai Ye's second life was about to come to the end of the world, everything was suddenly frozen, and in Bai Ye's consciousness, an indescribable light curtain was formed in front of him, and on the other side of the light curtain was his second life that was frozen. So, Bai Ye's consciousness did not hesitate and plunged into the light curtain.
At that moment, there was only darkness in Bai Ye's consciousness.
The darkness seemed to be eternal, but when the white night came back to his senses, he felt that it was only a moment.
Around him, piles of tires and auto parts were piled up. Bai Ye, on the other hand, was wearing oil-stained overalls and carrying a cross socket wrench in his hand.
White Night struggled to recall with his already dull brain, and finally remembered that it was before the end of the world, and he was a mechanic in an automobile repair shop.
The divine symbols that represent the law of time still shine in the memory of the white night: the past cannot be changed, time cannot be turned back, and the future is inevitable? But now that he has clearly returned to the past, Bai Ye doesn't dare to say that he can avoid the future, but time has been turned back, and the past will definitely change with his return, so the law of time has been broken by himself?
No, maybe it's all just your own dream? Maybe there is no end times at all, there is no book of time, maybe I am too stressed and I have a fantasy about the future? However, as soon as Bai Ye thought of this, a divine symbol suddenly burst out in front of him, and Bai Ye also clearly felt the residual law of time in his eyes! White Night, who has the Book of Obsolescence, knows very well, albeit very weakly, that is the power of time. The Book of Time is gone, but what little divine power remains in his eyes.
Bai Ye instinctively felt that through his eyes, he could use this power. As far as the eye could see, he could slightly distort the flow of time. If used in combat, it can reduce the speed of enemies by 20%, or increase your speed by 20%!
So Bai Ye knew that everything was not a dream! I really traveled through time and was reborn before the end of the world!
Bai Ye quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, at 11:28 on April 16, 2018, there were still 5 days and 21 hours before the great fusion of the earth and other planes, that is, the time when the end of the world really came, but there was not much time left for Bai Ye to prepare, because after 5 hours, the first heterotopic infiltration event would occur in the city.
In his previous life, Bai Ye was a third-order evolutionary, and he already belonged to the category of strong among human beings, and he also had a general understanding of the end times. The so-called end times are actually the countless planes of life in the multiverse that are pulled together by unknown reasons, including the earth. The earth belongs to the lower planes according to the power level, and under the guidance of mysterious space forces, it has merged with countless other low-level planes to form a new plane, which is called the New World. The New World is incomparably vast and vast, and it also has a special position among the many planes, because countless intermediate and advanced planes are linked to the New World, forming a cross-border gate that can carry souls through.
Countless strange and powerful xenoplane life poured into the earth, and human beings, as a whole, were completely scattered due to the fragmentation of the earth, and in the new world, most of the original scientific and technological means have lost their effectiveness, so human beings have been reduced to lower-class creatures in the competition for survival, and they can only struggle on the edge of survival until the end of the world for twenty years.
Before the fusion of the earth with other planes, as the distance continues to close, the earth and various heterotopic planes will continue to collide, which shows that some areas of the heterotopic plane briefly coincide with parts of the earth, and form a fault space, which takes a short time to form, and after the time, it will return to its original state. In this process, humans who are pulled into the fault space will come into contact with life on an extraterrestrial plane for the first time.
In the previous life, due to this strange event happening all over the world, the government simply could not hide it from the public and be known to the public, but no one dared to imagine that this was a precursor to the end times, and only regarded it as a supernatural event. The human beings who survived the supernatural events also made public what happened in the fault space, and because some survivors had the opportunity to evolve in the fault space and became superhuman in the eyes of the public, many people regarded the supernatural events as a gift from God.
Based on the above reasons, several supernatural events occurred in this city, and Bai Ye is very familiar with its time and place, and the first incident occurred at 16:32 on April 16, which is still 5 hours away!
Just as Bai Ye was thinking hard about his plans for the future, there was a roar behind him: "Xiaobai! What are you doing there? Why don't you change the tires of that car and don't want this month's salary? ”
Bai Ye looked back, there was a short and fat man standing behind him, Bai Ye still had some memories of him, he was the owner of this auto parts factory, as for what his name was, Bai Ye had long forgotten it. He has the common problems of most businessmen, greedy for money and stingy, and extremely strict with his employees, but overall he is not a bad person, because he has never deliberately found fault with Bai Ye's wages.
Bai Ye looked at him indifferently, threw the wrench in his hand on the ground, and said lightly: "I have a little urgent matter to solve, I can't do it here with you, you can find someone else." After saying that, he ignored the boss's reaction and turned around and walked out the door.
The boss was furious, and he left so suddenly, where did I go to find someone for a while? I just wanted to scold, but I found that Bai Ye's pupils seemed to flash a ray of golden light, and I was frightened for a while, until Bai Ye walked away, I reacted, and my heart must have been dazzled, and then I reluctantly picked up the wrench and went into battle to do the work in person.
After leaving the auto parts factory, Bai Ye immediately went to the bank and took out all his savings, 30,000 yuan, although it was not much, it was enough for Bai Ye. Then he took a ride to a small pedestrian street, which is not far from the auto parts factory where he works, and there are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, doing everything, restaurants, inns, foot massages, baths, don't look at the street is not big, but it is a famous and prosperous place in J City.
Around the corner of the street, there is a dilapidated hardware store, and this is the destination of White Nights. The shop is small and windowless, with only a dim old-fashioned electric lamp. The store is full of all kinds of hardware and groceries, and there is only a narrow aisle for people to pass.
Behind the only glass counter in the store, there is a dilapidated sofa that has been used for an unknown number of years, and a bald man is sitting on the sofa, fiddling with his mobile phone.
The big man was playing a mobile game intently, and when he heard the sound of pushing the door, he looked up at Bai Ye and was slightly stunned, but then he lowered his head and started playing the game.
Bai Ye walked to the counter and said to the big man, "Brother Hui, long time no see." ”
The big man named Brother Hui said while playing, "Isn't this Xiaobai? I heard that you went to learn how to repair cars, what? Don't mess with Ma Liang? ”
Bai Ye replied calmly: "Yes, there is no way out for others to be a horse boy, you still have to learn some serious skills." ”
The big man smiled and said: "You kid is a bit of a brain, Ma Liang is a thief, what kind of fame can you make with him?" Why do you have time to see your brother Hui today? Since you're not messing around, you shouldn't need a guy, right? ”
Bai Ye took out 20,000 yuan in cash and said in a deep voice: "I came to find Brother Hui today because I wanted to buy some real guys." ”
Brother Hui's face sank, he threw his phone aside, walked in front of Bai Ye, glared at Bai Ye and whispered, "What a real guy? What do you want for a real guy? ”
Bai Ye looked at Brother Hui without fear: "Qi [gun], if you want to be strong enough, bring me another knife, a long knife or dagger is fine, but it must be sharp enough and strong enough." ”
Brother Hui stared at Bai Ye, didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly grinned: "Xiaobai, you are also half a brother on the road, for the sake of Ma Liang's face, I can do your business, but I said ugly things in front, I don't care what you want to do with the real guy, but if you commit a crime and the police track it down, what do you want to say about the origin of this gun, but I can think about it." You should know who is wearing my head, if you confess me, it will only be a small trouble for me, but for you, it will be a big trouble! ”
Bai Ye smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Brother Hui, I don't have anyone I want to deal with, buying a gun is a little other use, don't you know me yet?" I don't dare to fight ruthlessly, how dare I do any case? ”
Brother Hui didn't speak again, hooked his hand and motioned for Bai Ye to follow, and took Bai Ye to a warehouse in the inner room. As soon as he entered the door, Bai Ye saw all kinds of simulated [guns] hanging on the wall, as well as various knives, like an arsenal.
Brother Hui took down a shotgun, handed it to Bai Ye, and introduced: "This is a high-imitation American Steam Hammer A2 combat shotgun, with a total length of only 525mm, which is easy to carry." The steel ball is fired by compressed gas, with a capacity of 10 rounds and can be fired in bursts. The gun is made of tungsten steel, except that the shooting method is different from the real gun, the rest is exactly the same, there is a rehearsal when firing, there is a recoil, the range is close but the power is large, within 20 meters to hit the person's vital point, the person is basically helpless. ”
Then he took out a long dagger with a cool shape, grinned, and his smile was a little hideous: "The American M1 saber, a real import, has a total length of 31cm, a blade length of 19.8cm, and a hardness of 65# manganese steel, not to mention that it is used to kill people, even lions and tigers can't withstand this knife." What do you think? Is it to your liking? ”
Bai Ye took the military slash, his wrist shook slightly, and the military thorn slid between his five fingers as if dancing, and the cold light of the tip of the knife danced an elegant trajectory. Bai Ye tried the weight of the military spur and the simulated shotgun, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "That's it, Brother Hui, you can make a price." ”
Brother Hui saw Bai Ye's technique of playing with knives, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his face became solemn, and he immediately retracted his somewhat contemptuous attitude towards Bai Ye from the moment he entered the door, and said with a smile: "They are all acquaintances, give you a discount, these two things will charge you 18,000, and give you ten boxes of steel balls for free, special steel ball bullets with a diameter of 12mm, the real murder weapon is your gun." ”
Bai Ye nodded: "Then thank you Brother Hui for taking care of me." After saying that, Jin appeared and handed it to Brother Hui, then pinned the spur to his belt, put the gun into a long canvas bag, and left the hardware store.
