Chapter 1: Five Years of Illusion

Next Chapter

The scorching midday sun scorched the bare earth, and the stacked brown and yellow mountains were like a flame. At a glance, there was not a trace of life on the vast surface, and there was no other color to be found except the color of the bare earth.

The land, which has lost its plant protection, gradually grains over the years, and strong winds howl and blow through, raising endless dust.

The sound of "poof" sounded like something heavy had been thrown to the ground.

As a strong wind blew, it brought up the dust, and when the wind passed, the dust slowly fell to the ground.

"Phew...... Bah...... Phew......" Zhang Jianyang got up from the ground, spit out the dust in his mouth, and slapped the dust stuck to his body. This kind of weather, Zhang Jianyang is unprecedentedly accustomed, he took a deep breath of dusty air, looked around, the whole person became excited, away from this real world for five years, if for a lifetime, everything now is so real.

The dusty air gave Zhang Jianyang the illusion of returning to the world.

Zhang Jianyang's size can only be said to be very ordinary, neither tall nor short, and the face of the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old is full of vicissitudes that do not match his actual age from time to time.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The dust in the air made Zhang Jianyang let out a series of coughing sounds, and he was in excitement, he didn't care about this, but looked at his position: "It's no different from inside, there is still a trace of radiation in the air, the soil is seriously weathered after losing plants, and the nuclear storm clouds in the sky have not dissipated, cough cough, I just don't know if there are any damn mutant beasts......"

In this world, no one knows more about mutant beasts than Zhang Jianyang, and even he can't remember how many mutant beasts died in his hands.

But......

Zhang Jianyang smiled bitterly, when he returned to the real world, the price was to lose everything he had, including the most important star power.

Star power is the mutation ability that some people in the human race have acquired under radiation, which is called star power. Like mutant beasts, people with star power are called star warriors, starting from the lowest one-star and working their way up to the highest nine-star warriors like legends.

Without star power, no matter what kind of strong person you used to be, now you are just an ordinary person.

But Zhang Jianyang just smiled bitterly, and became happy again, without star power, it was not a fatal blow to him, with the mysterious it as a backing, what was there to be afraid of? It's a big deal, just kill the future again, whether it's in the mysterious fantasy world or in this real world. Zhang Jianyang can fully believe that with countless experiences, he can get up quickly.

Maybe no one knows that in the past five years, Zhang Jianyang has struggled in this mysterious illusion world, and everything in it is like hell.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h

Thinking of the hell inside, Zhang Jianyang yelled at the empty sky, he needed to vent the turbidity in his heart, five years later, he returned to this world, he had enough reason to be excited.

In the past five years, he has been hovering and struggling on the edge of life and death all the time, how many times he has torn apart with alien beasts several levels higher than himself, and how many times he has stepped into the abyss of death. But no matter what dangers he encountered, his persistent thoughts supported Zhang Jianyang and allowed him to survive death again and again. He can't die, he wants to live, even better than anyone else.

Now he did, albeit at the cost of losing everything.

In five years, it has also turned a weak and submissive young man into a tough guy today.

Zhang Jianyang just roared for a while, and then calmed down, and the five-year ordeal allowed him to control his emotions well.

When I looked at it, all I could see was weathered sand, and I couldn't see any other colors in the whole world except for yellow-brown. Here, there is not even a single plant, giving people an extremely bleak feeling. Zhang Jianyang is used to this kind of environment, but he is a little unsure whether he has returned to the original point where he left five years ago. In the world of sandstorms at this moment, five years is enough time to change the topography of this area.

Zhang Jianyang still clearly remembers that when he escaped from Desert City, he kept running towards the east.

Without hesitation, Zhang Jianyang calmly glanced at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and strode in the opposite direction to the east, he had to find a place to live before it fell, the night was undoubtedly more terrible than the day.

…………

Zhang Jianyang's luck was good, after crossing a small canyon, a road appeared in front of him.

The road was a little broken, and the concrete cracked apart, like cobwebs forming on the surface of the road. The cracked pavement is the result of the earth's crustal movement after the nuclear war, and in fact, most of the roads have long been unformed, and not many have been preserved. The catastrophe brought by a nuclear war to the entire earth is so great that even after a hundred years, people still talk about nuclear discoloration.

There was a faint crushing sound in the distance, and a moment later there was a hint of human speech in the crushing sound.

A trace of human language made Zhang Jianyang's originally calm heart suddenly become excited, and three years of lonely killing made him forget what human language was. Standing on the side of the road, it was not until a few minutes later that I saw a huge bull at the end of the road.

Two horns, thicker than a person's thighs, resembling a full moon scimitar, were swaying and shaking as the bull moved.

The wild cow, which is also one of the mutated animals produced by nuclear radiation, its predecessor is not a domesticated domestic cow, but a wild buffalo that runs unrestrained in nature, belonging to the second-order mutant beast, extremely powerful, two horns can tear steel. The surname of the wild bull is easy to go crazy, and the body of the mutation has increased by three or two times, which is also the origin of its name. In view of the inadequacy of technological civilization, the wild cattle have also become one of the main animal forces for transportation and farming.

Zhang Jianyang narrowed his eyes, there was no doubt that this was a caravan.

The caravan that can use the wild bull as a means of transportation, in Zhang Jianyang's memory, has the strength of the Chamber of Commerce at least above the middle scale.

The crushing sound just now was not from the advance of the bull, behind the bull, five four-wheeled cargo compartments transformed from the chassis of abandoned cars were being pulled forward by the bull. The four-wheeled cargo compartment was covered with a heavy cyan canvas, and I don't know what kind of cargo it was. On each four-wheeled cargo compartment, three or five people sat on canvas, holding a variety of different weapons in their hands.

Two brute oxen, ten four-wheeled cargo compartments, together form the scale of this caravan.

The figures that appeared on the road made the caravan a little nervous, and the muzzles of several rifles were pointed at Zhang Jianyang, who was standing on the side of the road, and as long as there was any disturbance, they would not hesitate to shoot.

Zhang Jianyang didn't like to be pointed at gunpoint, so he raised his hand to show that he had no malicious intent.

The caravan approached, and Zhang Jianyang shouted at the hostile people above: "Stop, stop, can you take me for a ride, just like you, I am also heading to Shacheng." ”

In front of the tall bull, Zhang Jianyang was a little small, and his straight body was only as tall as the front legs of the bull.

The best loading platform is the wide back of the bull, which is a carefully woven basket mounted on the back, which can accommodate several people at the same time. This is the place where the head of the caravan sits, it is very comfortable, it will sway slightly with the movement of the bull, and sitting in it can always make people think of the cradle of childhood, and produce a sense of sleepiness.

On the loading platform, a fat man in his twenties stretched out his head, glanced at Zhang Jianyang a few times, and said, "Count yourself lucky, I'm happy to meet Young Master Ben, come up!" ”

The strong man in gray next to the fat man turned his head and stared at Zhang Jianyang, his eyes were like a sharp sword, as if he wanted to penetrate Zhang Jianyang. Changed to an ordinary person, he was already frightened by being stared at like this by a strong man in gray, but Zhang Jianyang still maintained a faint smile, not disturbed by the other party's eyes at all, but said calmly: "Thank you!" ”

The expected refusal did not appear, which surprised Zhang Jianyang, and he thought that he would waste a tongue in order to take a ride.

Zhang Jianyang didn't think too much, he didn't have luggage, he consciously found the most crowded four-wheeled cargo box, and then trotted up and climbed up. The strong physique in the illusion was brought to the real world, even if he lost his star power, Zhang Jianyang could still feel the strength in his body far beyond that of ordinary people. The reason for choosing this carriage is that Zhang Jianyang does not want to be suspected of having any schemes, and the large number of people just plays the role of monitoring himself to eliminate the vigilance of the caravan.

Several rifles that had been pointing at Zhang Jianyang quickly turned the muzzle, and Zhang Jianyang's move was undoubtedly correct.

On this carriage, there were six strong men, only two of them had guns, and the other four were holding cold weapons and were staring at Zhang Jianyang with guarded eyes.

The cripple of science and technology and the destruction of civilization have made guns a scarce product of science and technology, and only the army is equipped on a large scale, and most of the ordinary forces are in a state of half-cold and half-hot. The caravan in front of him, with more than ten guns, can be regarded as acceptable firepower. The rest of the people, most of them use cold weapons, and they are all extremely strong men.

Zhang Jianyang just glanced at a strong man in gray on the back of the first wild bull without leaving a trace, his eyes shrank slightly, smiled at the six people in the carriage, and then sat down in a corner.

The caravan set out, and the huge brute bull pulled five four-wheeled wagons, walking slowly on the broken road, and there was a jolt from time to time.

The initial vigilance gradually subsided over time after it was confirmed that there was no danger. So the six people who stayed in the cargo compartment were all interested in Zhang Jianyang, who was even sitting straight, and it was a very incredible thing to be able to meet a lonely traveler in this barren wilderness. In the wild, they will encounter fierce mutant beasts at any time, and there are some plants with strong attack surnames, alone, they can't imagine how Zhang Jianyang, who looks like a professional soldier in front of him, came over.

It was still a day's journey from Shacheng and belonged to a safe area, which was one of the reasons why the caravan had lost its wariness of Zhang Jianyang.

"Where did you come from?" Chen Zhuangping, one of the six, asked.

Zhang Jianyang only paused slightly, and then nodded.

Dry Lake is not far from Shacheng, only more than 200 kilometers, the commercial exchanges between Dry Lake and Shacheng are very active, the caravans are very dense, it is not dangerous, but in Chen Zhuangping's heart, it is a very remarkable thing to be able to walk alone between the two places.
