Chapter 1, Falling from Heaven
March is the thirtieth day, and the scenery is not bitter for me.
Yun Cang squatted by the river, and his thoughts couldn't help but go back to the past: What is wrong with this world, isn't it just two or three viruses, why did the family that was quite solid before suddenly go bankrupt and in debt? Why did a harmonious and happy family suddenly jump up and blame each other?
And I have a good life, why do I want to sign a joint repayment commitment to help my parents repay their debts, and now the family members have mysteriously disappeared and the creditors have taken turns to come to the door! Yun Cang rummaged through all the safes in the family, and only found one adoption certificate.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged, spread out his hands and feet and lay on his back on the river embankment, staring blankly at the sky. There are faint white clouds, free swallows, and the laughter of tourists; March is a transparent blue, mixed with pink flowers and warm winds, but the beauty is theirs, and Yun Cang only feels confused. It's only been a year, and no matter how beautiful the spring is, it's a little bleak.
"Is a speck of dust of the times a mountain when it falls on an individual's head? Hehe, it's really the good and evil of human beings that are not in their nature, and they feel things and then move. But I'm not convinced, the sky is high and high, is there an emperor? If you really have one, the next meteorite will kill me! With that, Yun Cang raised a middle finger to the sky, giving full play to his subjective initiative, showing his personal contempt for fate.
But in this world, there are always good things that are not satisfactory, and bad things that become prophecies. Just when Yun Cang's thoughts were floating to himself, countless meteorites, large and small, began to fly into the earth's atmosphere, they rubbed, burned, and glowed, so that there were countless more stars in the sky, illuminating the sky brightly, and the air became hot and dry, as if it was the middle of summer in an instant! People stopped and looked up until there was a loud bang, and then they woke up from a dream and ran away, the sound of the stars approaching, and the sound of order shattering.
Countless meteorites burst in the air, countless meteorites vaporized in the high temperature, producing a huge and terrifying sound, mixed with the shouts of the crowd, and the sizzling sound of poor emergency broadcast signals, large and small meteor fragments screamed across the sky, smashed into towering buildings and hardened concrete floors, and stirred up layers of air waves, splashing out a raging high-temperature air current. Yuncang, who witnessed the whole process from the appearance of the stars to the fall, finally reacted in horror at this time.
Just a moment before he struggled to get up, a ball of plasma hit Yun Cang's eyebrows with great precision, so the world fell silent, and his mind only had time to flash: "What's the situation, am I going to die, why, I don't accept it, I drink water and stuff my teeth, I was beaten, the world is fine, but my mother called me home for dinner" and other messy thoughts, and his consciousness fell into darkness.
Yun Cang was in a coma for more than 6 hours, and when he woke up at 10 o'clock in the evening, he found that in addition to being dizzy, his stomach was also convulsing, and every cell in his body was screaming for hunger, forcing him to get up and forage for food. In the midst of stumbling, Yun Cang found a small cart lying on the ground under the Xing'an overpass not far away, and golden egg fried rice was scattered all over the ground.
Unable to care about it, Yun Cang picked up a disposable lunch box on the spot to use as a rice spoon, and began to gobble up the egg fried rice directly, but fortunately, the vendors often brought some drinks to sell, otherwise he would have choked to death by the massive egg fried rice! In the case of extreme hunger, he only felt that this egg fried rice was definitely the best food in the world, the aroma of eggs and rice mixed together, the egg liquid wrapped in the well-defined rice, stacked into a golden tart, everything stimulated his appetite.
It wasn't until the food in several stalls had been wiped out that Yun Cang began to stagger towards his empty home, and all the way he was delirious, as if he heard cries for help and cries, but he couldn't hear them clearly, and as if he heard ten thousand bees buzzing. He struggled to open his eyes, and in addition to the road in front of him, the images on both sides flowed like feng shui. Fortunately, thanks to the once solid family background, Yun Cang had a secluded house not far from the river, and as soon as the servant opened the door, he fell asleep on the bed and clothes, and his spirit had reached the limit.
I don't know if you have ever thought about why time flies very quickly after people fall asleep, whether it is a sleep until dawn or a coma for three days and three nights, it is only a moment for people in sleep, often the eyes are closed and opened to the next day, as if they have crossed over.
So much so that what happens in the world during sleep is already in the past tense for those who sleep, and they seem to have pressed the fast-forward button to the future, as long as they are not woken up, time is almost frozen for them at this moment.
Some people say that this is because when sleeping, people's consciousness is in a state of rest, and they are naturally not aware that time is passing; Some people also say that most of the functions of the brain nerves no longer function during sleep, and only basic physiological and memory fragments are retained, which is equivalent to a small death, so the sleeper is not aware of time.
We don't know the answer to the mystery of sleep, and we don't know much about the role of the human body, but it is certain that for Yun Cang, this sleep will completely rewrite the trajectory of his life: his eyebrows are emitting a dazzling white light, and strands of white silk threads are wound along the path of light to form thick cables that adhere to the surrounding walls, and form a simple oval frame around his body, and then there are constantly wisps of filaments wrapped around the frame, woven into a dense network to cover Yun Cang's body, The result is a white capsule in the middle of the room, glowing with white light.
At the same time, a day after the natural disaster, the conflicted countries stopped all disputes and faithfully reported this unprecedented disaster to the peoples of all countries: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is Monday, March 31, 2025, and I would like to broadcast an urgent short bulletin to you...... The casualties caused are incalculable and the losses are immeasurable...... Leaders, experts and scholars unanimously decided to name this super disaster ...... from the sky"
While the world is busy repairing infrastructure and treating disasters, these falling meteorites are quietly changing in unknown corners: they either sink into the earth, or dissolve into rivers, lakes and seas, or emit billowing white smoke, or vaporize directly in the air...... Just as no one knows where these meteorites came from, no one knows what these changes mean for the Old World at this moment.
A week after the sky fell, earthquakes continued around the world, and experts and scholars urged people to use tents to stay in the open area as much as possible......
A month after the sky fell, geologists speculated that a large number of new landmasses would be added due to plate collisions; The vast majority of cables and pipelines in the world have been broken, and the construction team is working on emergency repairs, so please do not panic......
Two months after the sky fell, according to authoritative scholars' estimates, the earth's surface may have expanded tens of thousands of times, which is suspected to be related to space stacking, and it is recommended to launch satellites as soon as possible for observation; In addition, there are a large number of unknown creatures in the wild, please stay in your own familiar place to avoid danger, our radio channel is......
Three months after the sky fell, zizizi, zizi... I... Zizi... We... Camp... Zizizi... The army and the new humanity... Safety, sizzle... Head for... Welcome, zizzle.
For most people, everything that was once familiar has become unrecognizable, and the dullness and comfort are gone, and even the death of the family and despair is an extremely painful thing, which is unbearable, and the hatred cannot be resolved.
But the real situation is that all the seemingly unbearable sufferings are only because they have not endured, and what mortals go to, endless sword mountains and boundless seas of suffering, can be crossed. Even if there is no bright future, just one person holding a torch is enough to illuminate the way of thousands of people.
The end times are the end of the old era, but the story of man has just begun, the ladder of progress has been built, and all living things will go to an unknown path of evolution!
