Chapter 1: Death and Rebirth
Blood, dripping.
A small pool of scarlet blood slowly formed on the ground. Wu Ming leaned against the corner of the concrete wall, trying to control his breathing so that he would not make any other sounds, and his left hand was vigorously covering the wound in his abdomen.
The wound was caused by a blade spider, and although Wu Ming was wearing armor made of alien rhinoceros skin, it was obviously unable to resist the blade spider's forelimbs that were sharp enough to pierce the tank's armor.
Blade Spider, a third-level creature officially assessed by the new shijie, with a body size of more than three meters and a weight of more than a ton, Liliang is big enough to tear a tank, with two pairs of bladed forelimbs of different lengths and sharpness, extremely dangerous, there is also a task about Blade Spider in the Guild of the Awakened, the reward is expensive but few people accept it, with Wu Ming's current strength, it is obviously not the opponent of this level monster. And at this moment, this terrifying monster is looking for it in the street outside this house, and may soon find this place.
Wu Ming could feel that this time the wound in his abdomen was too deep, almost penetrating, and it had already hurt his internal organs, and no matter how he covered it, blood was spilling out through his fingers. Even if you are an Awakened and your body has been strengthened, you will die under this kind of injury.
Sensing that Liliang was slowly passing, Wu Ming flicked his fingers, and an extremely quaint card album immediately appeared in front of him.
The album appeared out of thin air, floating in the air, exuding a hazy halo. The cover of the card album is obviously sewn from leather, and there are still stitched lines on it, in addition to some extremely mysterious runes, representing some kind of inexplicable liliang.
This is the 'card album', a very common prop in the new shijie, almost a copy of each person's hand, which can appear or hide with the mind of the awakened, Wu Ming's card album is just a general color, and only twelve card slots are reserved, that is, even if it is full, only twelve cards can be collected, and in fact, there are not even twelve cards in Wu Ming's card album at the moment.
Cards,The mysterious items that appear in the new shijie,No one knows what liliang formed this magical item.,In short, in the new shijie,Cards have become the most important thing.。
It can even be said to be a necessity for survival.
There are also various types of cards, such as 'food cards' that provide the energy needed by the human body, 'enhancement cards' that can strengthen the human body, and 'vitality cards', 'weapon cards', 'creature cards', and so on. It can be said that humanity can survive in this cruel new shijie like hell after the cataclysm, and the appearance of cards is indispensable.
It's a pity that Wu Ming is an extremely ordinary existence even among the awakened people of the new shijie, and he doesn't have the opportunity to get those precious cards, and now there are only two 'food cards' that can maintain a normal person for three days, a 'weapon card', a 'ground yuan card' and an extremely precious 'primary healing card'.
Needless to say, the function of the food card, which can only provide basic food supply, does not help in the slightest for the current danger, and the weapon card is a very difficult item to obtain.
'Armor-Piercing Sword', a second-level weapon card, Quality: Excellent (green), can be materialized, with the ability of 'Armor-Piercing Sword Aura', and good attack power.
It's just that at the moment, this kind of weapon is not useful at all, the second-level weapon card, and the shell of the blade spider can't be broken, and the seriously injured Wu Ming now needs a 'healing card', although the price of this thing is ridiculously expensive in the camp, but Wu Ming still managed to get one a few days ago, just for fear that when he encounters a serious injury, he can heal himself.
The blood was still flowing, and at the same time, it quickly took away Wu Ming's liliang. Wu Ming knew that he couldn't delay it any longer, but he immediately took out the precious 'Primary Healing Card', and then chose to use it.
"Hope it helps!" Wu Ming said secretly in his heart.
The primary healing card, which can activate a mysterious liliang to heal general injuries, is also Wu Ming's only hope at the moment.
The card turned into a cloud of light, and then merged into the injured place, Wu Ming immediately felt that the wound seemed to be less painful, as if warm water flowed through, obviously the card had an effect.
It's just that before Wu Ming could catch his breath, his throat was itching, and he suddenly vomited a mouthful of dirty blood.
"How so?" Wu Ming was horrified.
"Oh no, that blade spider's attack is poisonous!" This time was completely out of Wu Ming's expectations, the primary treatment card, but it could not be detoxified, especially the toxin of this third-level creature, the toxin of the third-level creature, basically pronounced death, because of the severe pain, Wu Ming did not find out that he was poisoned.
If you are not careful, you will lose all the games!
Wu Ming didn't have time to think about anything else, he sat down on the ground all of a sudden, feeling the erosion of the toxin on his body, he didn't have time to fear, and his mind flashed past experiences.
Since the terrible catastrophe, the peaceful life of the past has been completely shattered, and people have to face death almost every day to survive in this cruel 'new shijie'. Wu Ming had seen people die more than once, and of course he thought that he might die one day, but he didn't expect it to be today.
"No, I'm not reconciled, I don't want to die like this!" Although he shouted in his heart, it was obviously useless, the spider toxin was extremely toxic, and it had already destroyed Wu Ming's internal organs along the bloodstream, and in just a moment, Wu Ming felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, and his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
When he was dying, Wu Ming seemed to see a light falling, and then he fell into darkness completely.
……
The weather in September, although the heat has subsided slightly, has not completely receded, and the weather is still a little muggy, but the coolness of the morning and evening is also refreshing.
As a modern metropolis, Yucheng has been busy before dawn, office workers get up early, dress neatly, and rush to high-end office buildings, although it seems that the work in this office building is quite faceful on the surface, but only they know the hardships.
Huatian Technology Company, Li Xia, who was in charge of welcoming guests at the front desk, came to the company early with small high heels, and opened the door to see, but saw that there was still a desk lamp on the side of the R&D department, and in the room, there was still the smell of smoke that had not dissipated.
Li Xia shrugged her nose, but she knew that someone must have worked overtime overnight, and now that social competition is so fierce, overnight overtime can be said to be extremely common.
For this kind of commonplace thing, Li Xia was obviously not surprised, he walked over to take a look, but saw a person lying on the desk of the office and snoring, snoring from time to time.
Li Xia smiled faintly, as if she was quite familiar with that person. Raising his hand and looking at the watch on his wrist, it was almost eight o'clock, and after thinking about it, he decided not to wake the other party, but to clean up the table.
Slowly, colleagues in the company came one after another, greeting each other one by one, punching in and out, and turning on the computer.
Li Xia looked up at the seat, and found that the other party was still sleeping, so she was going to wake up the other party, you must know that the manager of the company's jishu department is mean, if you find that employees sleep during working hours, they will definitely be furious, even if it is because of overtime.
At this time, the person who had been lying on his stomach finally moved his shoulders and slowly woke up, and Li Xia also stepped forward and said, "Wu Ming, you worked overtime again last night?" Manager Xiang will come in a while, you and him should take a leave, otherwise you won't be able to survive if you don't rest well! ”
Listening to the sound in his ears, Wu Ming didn't know where he was at all, at this moment he felt that his head was about to explode, dizzy, as if he hadn't slept for several days, and then he had directly slept for more than ten hours and woke up.
Slowly, the dizziness in his head weakened a lot, and Wu Ming also regained his ability to think. Immediately, it occurred to him that he was not dead.
The scene before the fainting is still vivid, I entered the ruins to find some supplies in exchange for daily necessities, but I was very unlucky to encounter a third-level creature blade spider, and I was stabbed in the abdomen, although I did not die on the spot, but I was infected with spider toxin.
It stands to reason that he should indeed be dead now, but Weishenme is still alive?
After moving his limbs, Wu Ming felt that his body was very tired and heavy, as if he did not have the physical condition before awakening. And looking around, Wu Ming was stunned.
What is this place?
It looked familiar, but in a short period of time, Wu Ming couldn't react at all.
At this time, Li Xia's voice came over again: "Hey, I said Wu Ming, didn't you hear me?" Old overtime staying up late is a chronic suicide, after a while, Manager Xiang came, you should ask him for a leave and go back to rest, although the work is important, but it is not worth it to burn out the body. ”
Listening to this voice and looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Wu Ming's brain immediately buzzed, and he finally remembered it.
Isn't this the company you used to work for?
The familiar office, the familiar furnishings, and the old computer in front of me that hid the 'Island Action' movie under some unknown folder all testify to this.
Swallowing and foaming unconsciously, Wu Ming secretly said What is going on?
Seeing Wu Ming stunned, Li Xia on the side said something again, which made Wu Ming react.
"Li Xia, you are Li Xia!" Wu Ming looked at Li Xia, the other party was his colleague before the new shijie, and the relationship in the company was very haode, but after the disaster, he lost contact with the other party, for Wu Ming, who was an orphan since he was a child and had no father and mother, Li Xia was one of his few friends in Yucheng.
Staring at Li Xia, Wu Ming watched for at least three minutes, until a flush appeared on the other party's face, and he said, What's wrong with Wu Ming today?
At this time, Wu Ming noticed the calendar in the lower right corner of the computer screen, which clearly read, September 3, 2014.
Wu Ming was stunned immediately, wasn't this seven days before that disaster happened?
The memory in his mind slowly emerged, and Wu Ming finally remembered that he did work in this company three years ago until the disaster occurred.
Could it be that I have returned to three years ago?
This is really a bit unbelievable, Wu Ming reached out and pinched his face, and secretly said that this is definitely not a dream.
So what's going on with all this happening right in front of you, is the new shijie three years later real, or is it just a nightmare?
But then, Wu Ming knew that it was not a dream.
"Everyone, come and see, big news, last night a meteorite fell in the city of the United States, smashing through a building, it is said that dozens of people were killed and injured, this is big news!" A colleague yelled.
"What's that, last night there was news of meteorites falling in more than a dozen countries, even our country, and two cities were attacked by meteorites, you say, will this be a precursor to the end of Shijie?" The other one apparently found more news.
Hearing this, Wu Ming suddenly remembered a detail, first smiled apologetically at this Li Xia, and then sat down to open the webpage and searched for the news. Seeing that Wu Ming was back to normal, Li Xia also stuck out her tongue and went to do her own thing.
At this moment, Wu Ming stared at the computer, opened one web page after another to check the news, and the more he looked, the more ugly Wu Ming's face became.
