Chapter 2 Otherworldly PTSD

More than an hour later, Chen Dao got out of the car in an unfamiliar place.

Because from the conscious level, he has not been in a car for 30 years, and he is too involved in watching the scenery and thinking about things in the car, so it is not surprising that he has sat in the station.

He didn't care, after struggling in the hellish world for thirty years, now looking at the scenery around him, everything was really lovely, everything was beautiful, even the dust raised by the roadside, the exhaust fumes from cars, and the noisy human voices all made him feel friendly and fresh.

So he walked through the unfamiliar streets in a good mood and called home with his mobile phone.

After chatting with his parents for more than half an hour, his mother asked him with some anxiety and worry if he had encountered something unpleasant, and his father asked him seriously whether he had run out of money or was in trouble?

Naturally, he said no, nothing happened, it was very good, he just missed them, and chatted casually.

But his parents were obviously not convinced, because he had only been away from home for two days.

So after hanging up the phone, he received a transfer of 1,000 yuan from his father on WeChat, as well as an official account article titled "College Students Are Caught in the Trap of Online Loans, Trying to Turn Over Through Online Gambling, but They Are Falling Deeper and Deeper".

His mother gave him some words such as "Knowing calmly, losing indifferently, fighting for the inevitable, and going with the flow." "Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, you don't have to take everything too seriously, don't be too demanding. "Failure is just one step closer to success; Success is to have gone through all the roads that lead to failure, and there is only one road left, and that is the road to success. Chicken soup sentences, as well as some GIF emojis with fists clenched and cheering.

Chen Dao couldn't laugh or cry, but he couldn't explain much.

He spent the afternoon wandering around, eating a bunch of snacks and catching a bus back to school.

He had actually forgotten which dormitory he lived in, but after pressing some messages on his phone, he managed to find his dormitory.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt a strong wind next to him hitting him, Chen Dao almost instinctively flew forward and rolled to the ground, and directly reached the balcony at once, and then got up on one knee and looked back.

I saw a flat-headed boy wearing glasses standing by the door looking at him with a blank expression, his raised hand still frozen in the air.

This is Chen Dao's roommate, I vaguely remember that his name is Ah Cheng, and I can't remember what his full name is.

The moment he just entered the door, Chen Dao was completely instinctive, in the other world for so many years, all kinds of threats existed almost all the time, without this reaction, he would have died hundreds of times.

When he rolled on the ground, he already realized that he might have overreacted, and because his body was still a little sluggish when doing this series of movements, his palms were worn out of the skin, and his knees hit the floor, and now he was numb and a little painful.

", Dao, are you possessed by Jackie Chan?" Roommate Ah Cheng said in surprise.

"Well, I'm very handsome." Chen Dao also said in passing.

"You're handsome, your hands are bleeding!" Ah Cheng pointed to the outside of his palm and said.

"It's okay, minor injury." Chen Dao said with a smile.

Indeed, compared to the other world, if you don't move, you are missing arms and legs, and if you pull it, it will be a deep and long wound of more than ten or twenty centimeters, and now this kind of abrasion can't even be counted as an "injury" at all.

After the excitement and excitement of returning from the other world slowly passed, and his emotions slowly calmed down, Chen Dao found that instead of relaxing, he became startled and very nervous.

There were four of them in the dormitory, including him, and they were actually on good terms with each other—though he had a vague memory.

But the problem is that now he just sits in his place, and he is uncomfortable.

As long as someone walked behind him and a sound came out, he would instinctively tense his whole body and want to return to his guard.

When he slept, he always had an inexplicable insecurity when he slept in the bed, his body was clinging to the bed board and one side of the wall, and as soon as there was the slightest movement in the dormitory, he would wake up immediately, or he had never fallen asleep at all.

Even if he knew very well that the dormitory was full of roommates, and now he was no longer in the other world, and he was very safe, but he couldn't let himself relax completely.

The next day, when he went to class with his roommates, he also subconsciously walked to the side along the way, and as long as there was someone behind him, he couldn't help but want to turn sideways.

When I arrived at the classroom, I also subconsciously chose the corner of the back door.

He originally thought that forcibly controlling himself, not allowing himself to react too aggressively, and trying to adapt for a period of time would naturally alleviate this "otherworldly PTSD".

But after not sleeping for two days, the whole person was in a trance, but he was more sensitive to all kinds of movements, and he realized that he couldn't continue like this.

So after Chen Dao finished his morning class, he began to look for a house around the school.

Others are looking for a house with good ventilation, good lighting, and good facilities, but he is looking for the opposite way, specifically looking for the kind of dark and cramped house.

It didn't take long for him to find a single room in the basement.

This single room has a lot of space, almost more than 20 square meters, and not only has a separate bathroom, but also a water heater and air conditioner, but because it is underground, there is no window.

This neighborhood is not a downtown area, many houses have been converted into rental houses, so the housing is very sufficient, the price is not expensive, and some are better choices, no matter how cheap such a house is, it is difficult to rent out.

But Chen Dao was in love at a glance, and he didn't talk about the price, so he just paid a two-month rent deposit and moved in that night.

The landlord was very happy and gave him a half-new mattress.

But what the landlord didn't know was that that night, after having dinner early, Chen Dao first cleaned the room briefly, especially under the bed.

Then I took sleeping pills, turned off the lights, and went straight to the bottom of the bed, leaning against the wall, curling up and starting to sleep.

There was no bedding or quilt, and he was dressed in daytime clothes, and he didn't even take off his shoes.

The temperature was still very low on the early spring night, but he didn't care about the coldness of the floor, wrapped his coat tightly, and breathed slowly and steadily.

Finally, after returning from the other world, Chen Dao fell asleep for the first time.

……

The sky was red, and objects rising from the ground and carrying thick smoke were constantly exploding.

The pungent smell of sulfur filled the air, and Chen Dao and his companions were prostrate on the ground, motionless, as if trying to hide their bodies in the gravel and rubble that covered the ground — and their dusty coats did just that.

The earth shook, and the six-legged beast that was seven or eight meters tall walked slowly not far away, and the shaking rubble flew by, smashing near them, and some of them hit them directly, but no one moved, and there was a sound.

Seeing that the giant beast was about to pass by, suddenly a faint cough sounded.

Time seemed to freeze instantly, and all the people who were prostrate on the ground held their breath, and their hearts rose to their throats.

The behemoth's footsteps stopped.

Then, a slender figure leapt up from the ground, shouted, and ran into the distance.

Chen Dao knew that it was "Xiao Qi", he couldn't hold back his cough just now, which attracted the attention of the giant beast, and now he wanted to sacrifice himself to lure the giant beast away.

Chen Dao did not hesitate and jumped up from the ground.

But instead of running in other directions, he rushed directly towards the giant beast, and after a few runs, the whole person shot out like a cannonball and flew straight into the air.

The beast's eyes, larger than his body, immediately locked into his place, and the huge appendages immediately reacted and swung towards him.

A spear stabbed the beast in the eye, and it hung directly on the eyeball.

The huge pain interrupted the attack on Chen Dao, allowing him to land steadily on the back of the giant beast.

Chen Dao looked back, where they were lying just now, everyone had already gotten up, but no one had fled, everyone was attacking the giant beast.

In the distance, Xiao Qi also turned back, ready to join the siege.

Since you can't escape, let's fight to the death.

Chen Dao did not hesitate, ran wildly on the back of the giant beast, and jumped up again when it was almost to its head.

His right arm was instantly covered with hard scales, and it swelled in a circle, with a red glow, and smashed with him like a hammer into the eye of the giant beast.

The giant beast shook its head, and Chen Dao's powerful blow was like an egg hitting a stone, his bones were broken and his waist was broken, and the whole person flew out sideways, like a rag bag, falling to the ground.

Such an injury, if it was him before the crossing, it would be needless to say, he would definitely die, and he didn't need to call the emergency number.

But in this world, as long as the treatment is timely, as long as there is no death on the spot, all injuries can be cured.

The problem is, I'm afraid there is no chance of treatment.

He saw that his companions were easily killed by the giant beasts, and their attacks were like tickles, and they did no harm to it.

"Dao! Ah Dao!! ”

"Xiao Qi" didn't know when he ran to his side, and then prepared to carry him on his back, who was already seriously injured and couldn't move.

"Be careful......

As soon as Chen Dao's words fell, both of them had been hit into the sky by the tail swept by the giant beast.

In the air, Chen Dao felt as if his body was shattered, and he vaguely saw "Xiao Qi" who was also in the air, and the two glanced at each other.

He saw regret, helplessness, reluctance, and relief in her eyes, but there was no fear.

He didn't know why the two of them were rolling uncontrollably in the air at the same time, but he could see each other's eyes and understand each other's eyes.

After a brief moment of staring at each other, both of them fell to the ground.

In the dizziness, he roughly determined the landing point of "Little Seven", and struggled to turn his head to look over.

A huge pillar-like foot was stepped on with a bang, and the position where "Xiao Qi" fell was instantly trampled down.

The beast's head was lowered in front of him, slightly to one side, eyes larger than his entire human body staring at him closely.

Cold, full of contempt.

"Fuck you!"

Chen Dao roared, and the whole person burst open.
