Chapter 2: The World (I)
The sharp pain in his body was covered by the trance-like spirit, and in what seemed to be a slow, but in fact rapid sliding, the young man thought in a daze: "I, what's wrong with me, where is this, what happened..."
And before he could find the answer, the young man suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and then gradually regained his sight, and was enveloped by a scorching, blinding light, and at the same time, a low scream that made people feel cold and erect gradually echoed around him.
"This is, where is this?" Slowly regained his senses, and he couldn't remember why he suddenly fell from the bright park green space into the overturned carriage like a hellish road, shaking his head and looking around, looking at the old faces with blurred flesh and blood, he couldn't help but have an incredible expression on his face, and thought in horror.
Just as he was turning his thoughts, the wires on the walls of the carriage that were splashed with blood everywhere around him, like the meridians of the human body's blood vessels, revealed by the car accident, suddenly made a crisp sound that made the scalp tingle.
The flickering spark made the boy's heart tighten.
Realizing that now was not the time to be stunned, he tried his best to support his scarred body, but did not escape directly from the purgatory-like carriage, but hesitated, hurriedly staggered to an old woman in the front seat who was spread out on the car, leaned down, and called out in a dry voice: "Mrs., madam, are you okay, madam..."
After a few voices, there was no response, but the boy did not give up, but clumsily began to massage the old woman's heart and do artificial respiration according to the first aid method learned in the school's 'physical education class'.
To his surprise, he sucked the air into his mouth and passed it into the old man's mouth one by one, and after a few times, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared.
In the flaming red light, a vague figure composed of smoke-like black and white dotted lines was pulled out of the old woman's body by an invisible force, and her face struggled in horror as the young man sucked it into her mouth and nose.
Because of the tearful eyes, the boy did not notice this terrible scene, and after a while, he found that the old woman had completely lost her life, so he stopped moving, and crawled half crawling towards the other dying passenger closest to him.
Just like that, cardiac massage, artificial respiration... The boy repeated the first aid actions to different subjects, and the black and white phantoms were pulled out of the victim's body and sucked into his abdomen.
As the number of devouring phantoms increased, the scorching light from the leaking fuel began to penetrate the boy's body through his skin, causing his newly recovered mind to become trance again.
A few minutes later, bloody carriages, crimson lights, horrific corpses... In the confusion, everything gradually blurred in the young man's mind, turning into black and white smoke and dust.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and a piece of land that was embraced by the vast sea that stretched for tens of thousands of miles at a glance slowly appeared at his feet.
When the young man was at a loss, the distant voice suddenly sounded again, "What is this?" ”
Hearing this, looking down at the magnificent and vast ocean and earth from a height of 1,000 meters or 10,000 meters, the word "world..." could not help but appear in the boy's mind.
As soon as his thoughts turned, the distant voice sounded for the last time: "The real name is determined to be 'World', and the guidance is over." After that, the young man suddenly felt a sinking under his feet, his body fell rapidly, and he exclaimed that he fell from the clouds that were unknown to thousands or tens of thousands of meters, and fell into the air less than 100 meters above the ground.
With the fall of the boy, the vast continent, which had been shrouded in a thick black fog, was about five kilometers long and wide, and the bay near the sea suddenly disappeared and became clearly visible.
And on this exposed ground, the most conspicuous are several large stranded ships connected by rusty iron cables the thickness of a baby's fist.
The bow and stern were about fifty or sixty meters long and more than twenty meters wide, and the bow was carved with an ancient Chinese dragon head, and the huge hard sails on the deck, which resembled reed mats, were completely unusable, as if they had been shipwrecked.
Looking down at those ancient ships, the young man really couldn't understand his strange encounter, and in the middle of his doubts, he saw a secret door on the deck of the big ship under his feet being opened, and a group of ordinary people dressed in strange ancient costumes, ragged clothes, and haggard expressions, men and women, old and young, climbed out.
Most of them had blank faces, faintly showing a look of horror, and only after seeing the blue sky and white clouds, and finding that they had drifted to land, their expressions gradually became vivid, and an atmosphere of ecstasy gradually spread among the crowd.
"Ancestors bless, this is, this is an escape from the catastrophe...";
"Alive, escaped alive, this, this, this is really a fluke, a fluke...";
"Mr. Zhou, the fortune teller in the former market, has long said that I am a great fortune, and I know that I will not be eaten by those sea fish...", after a while, some people couldn't help the surprise of escaping death in their hearts, and shouted and cheered.
Unlike these happy village women and fools, a few people on the deck who were neatly dressed and gorgeous, and whose demeanor was always relatively calm, showed the joy of escaping and then showed a trace of worry.
One of the old men, who was holding a wooden staff carved with a living monkey's head carved on the top, suddenly paused with his cane and made a few sounds, "Peng Peng...", and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't howl, it's good to escape for your life, but our boat of more than 200 people, there is only less than a warehouse of grain left."
If you don't plan carefully, you will eventually die, and if you don't die at sea, you have to die on the beach..."
After listening to the old man's words, the general public on the ship remembered that although they had escaped the endgame of drowning, they had fallen into a completely strange and wild place, and they were not completely out of danger at all, and suddenly they were quiet like deflated balls.
Seeing that everyone changed from ecstasy to panic, the old man, who was quite wise in life, changed his words and said: "But our boatload is all craftsmen, and building houses and making iron and ploughs are trivial things, and if you do it with your heart, you are not afraid that you will not be able to earn a way to live."
The most important thing now is to stabilize the moment, first go and see what is happening to the people on the other ships, and gather manpower and work together is the right way. ”
In a dangerous situation, at a loss as to what to do, even if the original social order collapses, mediocre people will still instinctively obey the authority, so when the old man's voice landed, someone echoed with relief: "Yes, yes, Master Xu, your old man has always been capable, and what the old man of Futai said, we listen to you, and we all listen to you." ”
Then the people on deck obediently acted as the old man commanded, and the women looked at the children when they disembarked;
Several of the strongest men, who looked the strongest, worked in groups of three, armed with weapons such as flower guns, knives, and round shields that had been turned out in the cabin, to investigate the situation and see if they could find people;
The rest of the men flocked to the nearby boats to see if there were any other survivors, to see if the boats had been damaged and to see if they could continue sailing.
The Asian teenager in mid-air looked at the drama under his feet as if he was watching a historical drama, and he really didn't understand what was happening, and then he saw that the survivors of other boats had been found one after another, and at noon thousands of women and children had gathered on the beach.
Then the craftsmen, who had judged the damage to the great ship, reported to the principal pessimistically that the bottoms of several wooden ships were in tatters, and that they would fall apart in less than half a day when they went to sea, unless they were to enter the dock for overhauls;
Then the waves suddenly rolled on the sea, the waves surged, and seeing that the tide was about to rise, the refugees hurriedly moved the food and utensils on the stranded ship to the land, and thousands of people and children went out together, only to be exhausted, and finally emptied the cabin, and at this time half of the hull of the big ship was already submerged in the sea, and it looked like it was about to be swept away by the waves.
Without a cabin to shelter and sleeping in the wilderness, the situation was obviously demoralizing the people who had just survived, and some of the weak women could not help but secretly wipe away their tears.
At this moment, in the dense woods near the beach, there were suddenly several terrible 'whoops...' beast cries from far and near, and then I saw the men who had been ordered to investigate the situation, and their flesh and blood ran out of the forest.
The few people who were behind shouted as they ran, "Wolves, wolves, there are wolves and leopards here, help, help...", as soon as the words landed, more than thirty black forest wolves with dull fur followed and rushed out of the forest.
Then I saw that the first of the wolves, the largest one, suddenly exerted his strength, pounced forward, and bit the back of the neck of the last man at once, and ended the life of the prey in a terrible wail.
It stands to reason that there are thousands of mouths on the beach, of which men in the prime of life account for three or four percent, and with weapons, it should not be a problem to fight with dozens of forest wolves.
However, because of the empty cabin before, everyone had exhausted their strength, and they were a little trembling with the handle of the knife and the handle of the gun, plus the vast majority of men were craftsmen, and they had no experience in killing the enemy at all, so for a while, the wolves completely had the upper hand in momentum.
After killing one person provocatively, the head wolf saw that the crowd not only did not react to fight back, but everyone trembled, and realized that although the prey group was numerous, it was not difficult to subdue it, and immediately led the wolves to approach step by step.
Looking at the approaching wolves, people instinctively trembled and retreated, only one of them was lame, with a broken finger in his right hand, and he didn't say a word before, but just tried his best to do his work, and suddenly roared: "Mo retreat, don't retreat, this wolf and Hu people's temperament figure it out, the more you retreat, the more arrogant he becomes."
If you retreat, your wives and boys will be eaten. ”
It's a pity that his strength alone is limited, no matter how reasonable what he says, no one pays attention to it, seeing that the wolves are close at hand, the small people would rather keep their tears and tremble and pray to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, rather than hold their weapons and rush to the enemy, fighting for a way out.
At this moment, the ordinary people on the ground are simply tormented like falling into hell, and the Asian teenager in the air is also anxious, after all, as a civilized person, watching the beasts hunt their own kind, if there is no reaction, it is really a strange thing.
"I want to eat children," the boy couldn't help but grit his teeth and think, "Damn, damn it..."
To his surprise, as his hatred turned, a cone-shaped spiny more than three feet long and sharp as a needle suddenly emerged from the bottom to the top of the beach, and suddenly penetrated the soft jaw of the wolf peeping at the child, broke open the skull, and drilled out of the heavenly spirit cover with brains and blood.
Hit so hard that the wolf didn't even have time to howl before he was killed instantly.
Seeing this scene, some desperate people in the crowd were stunned at first, and then a look of hope appeared in their tearful eyes, and they knelt on the ground and prayed despite the wolves: "I don't know which way the god Buddha is merciful to get rid of this evil wolf, if the small people who can protect are well-founded, we are willing to build temples and worship them from generation to generation."
The four seasons and three festivals will be enshrined with three animal gifts, which will never contradict each other. ”
They had just finished kowtowing when the whole world suddenly froze, and then a golden twenty-sided dice the size of a waist drum fell from the sky and landed in front of the Asian teenager floating in mid-air, rolling in the air for a while, revealing the number of 'four'.
