Chapter 1: The Tower of Strange Creatures from the Sky

Next Chapter

In Tiannan Prefecture, Zhang Hao carried a backpack and squeezed out of the train station in a stinky sweat.

Without looking around, I walked directly to the bus stop outside the station, got on the bus at random, and got down after a few stops.

Then I opened the GTS software and called an online car-hailing car, and only after sitting on it did I gasp for breath.

Feeling the heart beating violently because it didn't move violently at all, the uncomfortable feeling as if it was about to get sick in the next moment, his heart, which he had been patient, couldn't help but become anxious.

No! Don't rush!

Slow down! Slow down!

Warning himself again in his heart, Zhang Hao closed his eyes slightly, trying his best to calm down the physical discomfort.

More than half an hour later, the car arrived at a small town, there are very few high-rise buildings around, but there are many old-fashioned brick houses, hidden in a variety of tropical trees and plants, the environment seems quite quiet.

Zhang Hao picked up his backpack casually, collapsed on one shoulder casually, pushed the door and got out of the car, walked to the shade of a tree somewhere on the side of the road, and watched the car drive away.

Wiping his forehead, which had begun to ooze large beads of sweat, Zhang Hao was a little helpless.

In December, running from the humid and cold southwest region to the sun-drenched tropical region of Tiannan Prefecture was a day of ice and fire for him who was physically weak.

Fortunately, it has been hard along the way, and it is finally time to rest.

Zhang Hao took out the phone and dialed a number, hung up after saying a few words, and soon a middle-aged man appeared in front of him riding a small electric Shi Shiran.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhang Hao confirmed that the appearance of the person who came was indeed the same as on a certain document he had seen before, and he took the initiative to speak: "You are Wang Qiushi, Brother Wang, right?" ”

The words are quite polite, but unfortunately the official dialect with a slight southwest accent is still not so standard.

The middle-aged man obviously behaved similarly to Zhang Hao, but he spoke a little slower, grinned when he heard the words, and used the same... Well, the official dialect with a southern accent that should be more non-standard replied: "You are the Zhang Hao who rented the house?" ”

Zhang Hao nodded, and didn't bother to say a few more polite words.

In other words, he himself is a pseudo-otaku, and in recent years, he has degraded greatly in communicating with people, and this Wang Qiushi in front of him is obviously not a talkative person, and it is estimated that two more polite sentences will make everyone embarrassed.

"Brother Wang, let's go see the house first." Zhang Hao got straight to the point.

The middle-aged man named Wang Qiushi was not surprised, nodded, and then got off the small electric prop up the tripod, took off the string of keys from his waist, and walked to the door of the courtyard on the side of the road, and opened the door at once.

A small courtyard of about 100 square meters appeared in front of me.

Zhang Hao followed and walked in, Wang Qiushi just briefly introduced the size of the yard and the size of the house, but there were not many other words.

After all, the two had already communicated through Feixun before they should talk, and now Wang Qiushi's introduction was more just to keep the two from looking around dryly.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Hao happily signed a rental contract with Wang Qiushi, and sent the middle-aged man out of the hospital by the way.

After walking out of the courtyard gate, Wang Qiushi said something quite intimate: "Xiao Zhang, go out and walk left for a few minutes, there is a locksmith in the center of the village, you can go there if you want to change the lock." ”

Zhang Hao: "... Thank you! ”

And then...... Without hesitation, he closed the courtyard door.

Walking into the slightly old brick house, Zhang Hao sat down on a plastic chair.

As for the rustic sofa in the house, he won't sit on it, and the ghost knows that the sofa is the N hand goods that the landlord turned out from, anyway, the air freshener can't suppress the faint musty smell.

After sitting down, he pulled the backpack on the table next to him, unzipped it, and took out the thick sweatshirt he took off before getting out of the car, and then he whispered, "Gary, start monitoring the situation in this yard." ”

As he spoke, a metal head with two large camera-like eyes poked out of his backpack, followed by a somewhat dumbfounded electronic voice: "Boss, everything is normal, no monitoring equipment has been found in the hospital, do you need Gary to continue to expand the scope of monitoring?" ”

Zhang Hao nodded: "You walk around the yard by yourself, be careful not to be discovered by others, and rule out all kinds of possibilities for long-distance monitoring here." Also, if someone knocks on the door or breaks in, notify me immediately. ”

"Gary understands." As he spoke, a metal doll no more than thirty centimeters tall that looked like a robot jumped out of the bag, floated a few centimeters above the ground, and then floated out of the door.

Seeing the metal doll out of the room, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief: "I've settled down temporarily, I'm really tired of going out." ”

Immediately, he was stunned, and sighed with a wry smile.

In the past few years, his pseudo-house is the same as the real house, and he feels tired after less than two days in the car.

Then his mind moved, and his mind entered a strange space.

……

This is a space full of science fiction colors, under the soft white light, various shapes of furniture and instruments walk in a large number of transparent compartments, and there are even a lot of lush greenery mixed in.

Zhang Hao appeared in the center of the entire space, in a ring with a diameter of more than 200 meters, surrounded by striking yellow lines.

A silvery-white metal cylinder with a diameter of twenty centimeters and a height of about one and a half meters stood in the very center of the yellow ring, and Zhang Hao happened to appear in front of the metal cylinder.

He placed his hand on the metal cylinder, and a curtain of light flowing with a faint blue light appeared in front of him.

On the light curtain, there are only two pitiful icons now, the first icon is blood red, and the blood red looks so strange that people can't help but feel a trace of fear in their hearts when they see it.

The second icon, on the other hand, is a hazy and chaotic dark gray, with something like a progress bar below it showing 95% of the numbers.

Zhang Hao shook his head slightly, sighing in his heart.

It takes three months for the second search to be completed at 95%, and the remaining 5% will take at least three to five days.

Thinking about it again, it only took a month to search the first dimensional space, and he felt the world's malice towards him.

Because, the first dimensional space is the icon that emits a demonic blood-red light.

And Taling, which can also be said to be a so-called artificial intelligence, did not hesitate to label it as an abyssal plane.

This made Zhang Hao, who thought that he had finally become the emperor of Europe and would soon start a legendary life like a dragon, his face immediately turned black.

All right! Long Aotian who beats the whole world is too ashamed, Zhang Hao actually stopped reading this kind of online novel ten years ago.

However, after obtaining this strange thing that can be called a golden elephant leg, the space tower, his originally somewhat lost calm mind was finally awakened again.

Zhang Hao laughed self-deprecatingly: If he is really a purebred European emperor, then what is the luck of being unlucky to come home in half of the first thirty years of his life?

Since his last year of high school, he has had various physical conditions.

In the meantime, his body has been good and bad back and forth, and now at the age of thirty, his whole physical state is declining and dilapidated, as if he is a middle-aged or fifty-year-old man in his forties and fifties.

Until one night four months ago, when Zhang Hao was walking in the park by the river, everything that changed his life for the rest of his life happened.

……

The weather in July has begun to be hot and dry, and after blowing the air conditioner at home for a long time and his mouth and nose are dry, Zhang Hao can only ride a small electric car and run to the small riverside park near his home to cool off.

The faint river breeze and the abundant flowers and trees make the small park much cooler than those on the concrete square.

After staying at home for a long time, Zhang Hao was not used to getting too close to the crowd, so he found a wooden chair in a secluded place to sit down.

As time passed, the aunts who danced the square dance more than 100 meters away called it a day, and the roller skating children were also taken home by their parents, and the whole small park gradually became quiet.

It's just that from time to time, three or two people who are taking a cool walk by the river walk by the river not far away.

Just as the warm tea in the cup he was carrying was almost finished, Zhang Hao casually covered the lid of the cup, saw that the time was almost ten o'clock, and then prepared to get up and go home.

At this moment, a strange black dot appeared on the pavement of the park road that was originally empty in front of him.

Of course, Zhang Hao didn't find out at the first time.

But the incalculable tiny moment after the black dot appeared expanded into a black sphere with a diameter of several meters, including Zhang Hao, who had no reaction at all.

Immediately, the black sphere collapsed into a tiny gravel-like particle that fell into the dirt.

And Zhang Hao, who disappeared in the small park... Well, in fact, it wasn't just him who had disappeared, but also the steel-framed wooden chair within the black sphere, a few low landscape plants, and a few cubic meters of dirt attached to it.

The black sphere caused a three-foot scraping effect in the moment it expanded, bringing everything in its range into its own space.

And Zhang Hao is the only human being among these objects!

Zhang Hao's buttocks were still in a posture of just getting up on the wooden chair, and he had always been weak, and he actually managed to pose like a horse at this moment, staring blankly at everything in front of him.

What the heck?

This is the subconscious authenticity of his mouth.

Of course, he has no feelings for ghosts, after all, he is the kind of person who is very insensitive, and no one among his relatives and friends who has not seen or even believed in himself has confirmed that he has met a ghost, so his alienation from ghosts is only limited to film and television works.

On the contrary, the online novel he loves helped at this moment, "Is it Goldfinger?" He subconsciously complained, this is a typical performance of an otaku keyboard warrior, but what he said was actually not taken seriously at all.

However, the space in front of him is very sci-fi, and even a little magical, which makes Zhang Hao a little suspicious in his heart.

This...... Maybe it's a golden finger?!

Just when Zhang Hao was still stunned, a soft female voice suddenly sounded in the space:

"The First Space Tower's special authority, Li Feng. The signal cannot be detected. ”

"Level 1 authority, Liu Qingqing, the signal cannot be detected."

"Level 1 clearance, Ding Qi, the signal cannot be detected."

"None of the authorized persons can be detected, and the spatial dimension is detected...... Abnormal. ”

"Activate the first sequence of commands, designating a sapient creature as a temporary authority."

"Discover sapient creatures, race humans, and prioritize sequences for those who have access to them."

"Specify the person with temporary permissions! Please ask the person with temporary permission to confirm their identity. ”

Zhang Hao didn't hear a series of voices too clearly, or he was distracted, because of the soft female voice... It's like the warning sound of Ambrera Biotech Base in the movie.

As soon as this kind of female voice appears in the movie, it basically means that the new little monster still has thirty seconds to arrive at the scene, and the protagonist will be killed.

This unreliable association finally stopped when the female voice repeated the request for identity confirmation for the third time, and Zhang Hao opened his mouth and asked, "How to confirm the identity?" ”

Thanks to N daydreams, he did not suspect that the female voice was a ghost or an alien like many online protagonists, but was blinded by its attribute - artificial intelligence.

Or rather, the tower spirit of a mage tower.

The female voice immediately replied, "Please place your hands on the spatial hub in front of you and remain still." ”

Zhang Hao's eyes fell back from his farsightedness to a close place, and sure enough, a silver-white metal cylinder was ten centimeters in front of him.

He put his hand up, and the silver pillar immediately flashed with a white light that enveloped his body.

In less than a second, the white light disappeared, and the soft female voice sounded again: "The identity of the temporary authority has been confirmed, please confirm the name of the authority." ”

"Zhang Hao." Zhang Hao subconsciously reported his name.

"The name of the authority has been determined. Welcome, Your Excellency Zhang Hao, you now have temporary access to the First Space Tower. A soft female voice said.

Space Tower? Sounds a little hanging!! Zhang Hao thought a little out of tune.

Then he finally recovered from his trance, which had been made by this bizarre event, and began to consciously ask about the soft female voice.

It wasn't until an hour later that Zhang Hao suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead: "Oops! What time is this? Mother doesn't think I've fallen into the ditch! ”

He usually goes out for a walk, and he will be home at half past ten at night, and now he ...... Could it be early in the morning?

Take out the phone in your pocket and press the wake button.

Well? No response.

I pressed it a few more times in a row, but the phone was still like a stone... No, it's as black as coal.

Zhang Hao's face was also a little dark: Damn, if you want to call back, you can't report your safety first.

Then he got on the little electric and shouted, "Athena, get me out." ”

As soon as it was dark, he had appeared in a dark park.

Well, more specifically it should be in a large earthen pit.

The appearance of the first space tower just now included all the objects within a few meters in diameter into the interior of the space tower, Zhang Hao could only be glad that his whole body was within the range, otherwise he might lose half of his body or something if he was a little farther away from this range.

At that time, whether the First Space Tower would confirm that a dead person was the one with authority, Zhang Hao didn't want to know the answer for the time being.

Looking at the pit in front of him, Zhang Hao was a little devastated: If this Nima is not on the city news at dawn tomorrow? If the police were to check the surveillance, they might be able to find the latest obscene figure in this park.
