Chapter 2 Transition Bracelet(1/2)

The universe is diverse.

A butterfly in the Amazon jungle flapped its wings inadvertently, and perhaps a tornado will be set off in Texas, USA in two weeks. That is, any minor changes may have an impact that can change the future trend after infinite amplification.

That is to say, the future we understand is extremely unstable.

Jiang Chen, male, 23 years old, undergraduate graduate. After graduation, he worked as a salesperson in a clothing store, but he was fired. His shrinking wallet forced him to face a dilemma: should he continue to stay in Shanghai to find a job, or return to his rented house to live in his hometown?

To be honest, he doesn't want to just run back in shame. Being able to live in a metropolitan city like Wanghai City is not only his long-cherished wish since childhood, but also his parents' expectations for him. How many people who have never seen the world don't want to go out and see the world?

Even if you already know it, reality may make you lose face.

That night, he got drunk. It was the first time he had been drinking alone since he graduated and was unconscious. Just after venting his affliction, he felt dizzy as if something had been sucked by a stick in his head, and he fainted. After the unknown metal object hit his wrist, it disappeared as if it had merged with him.

Then, he gained an incredible ability - traveling through time!

Of course, it has been several months since the discovery of this abnormal ability.

The strange patterns surrounded his right wrist like a watch. Even if he came over to observe carefully, he could only come to the conclusion that it was a strange tattoo.

So the question is, Jiang Chen has never tattooed before?

He didn't know why the person he was chosen was himself, but he only knew that the opportunity for him to reach the peak of his life might have come.

Time and space shuttle? Plane transition?... He does not have enough professional knowledge to explain this extraordinary phenomenon. It was just because of an unexpected electric shock but nothing happened. After absorbing about 100 kilowatt-hours of energy, the tattoo-like empty slot on his wrist will be filled, which can meet the conditions required for "traveling". A trip will consume about half an energy slot, which means that 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity is enough to travel back and forth. The cost of traveling is only about 50 yuan, which has to be said to be too cheap.

In addition, the function of this weird tattoo is not just a time travel. Jiang Chen accidentally discovered that in addition to allowing him to go to a strange world, this thing also has an independent sub-space! In layman's terms, it is a storage space of about 1 cubic meter. However, since it takes a certain amount of energy to store and retrieve items from the space, Jiang Chen still chose to carry items with his backpack for time travel. After all, if he does not save himself from using the energy in the energy tank, if he cannot find a way to replenish energy in the end of the world, wouldn't he be able to come back?

Jiang Chen had a premonition that this energy trough should be able to be upgraded, and there should be a certain amount of room for expansion, including the storage space, but he has not yet figured out how to upgrade.

As for how to charge it? The method is very simple. Just insert your right finger into the socket... Although this method is rough, it is very useful. As for how Jiang Chen discovered this method, as mentioned earlier, it was entirely due to an unexpected electric shock.

The first time I traveled was in an abandoned house. From the dusty beds and the decaying wooden windowsill, it can be seen that this house has not been visited for a long time. After carefully confirming the environment, Jiang Chen began to explore the dilapidated house. From the semi-destroyed radio with storage function and the used newspaper, Jiang Chen barely learned some information about the world.

This is a parallel world similar to the earth, but technology is obviously walking in front of Jiang Chen. There are tall buildings, but there is no slight civilized atmosphere. The streets are full of zombies and alien creatures. Jiang Chen, who doesn’t even have reliable weapons, naturally dare not go out easily.

It was 2190, and the location was still Wanghai City in the Republic of China. However, Wanghai City here is almost different from Wanghai City in Jiang Chen.

In 2150, global climate warmed, and various resources were extremely tense due to over-exploitation, and the economic crisis came as scheduled.

In 2164, the Polish political crisis ignited the powder keg of Central and Europe, and the red regime began to advance westward. Affected by this, global geopolitics entered an extremely tense state. It is worth mentioning that in this parallel world, there was no disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991. Therefore, the world political pattern was divided into a trio world - the NATO military body (NATO) composed of the United States and its allies, the Central Asian and European Red regime (CCCP) led by the Soviets, the Pan-Asian Cooperation Organization (PCA) composed of China and South Asian countries, and some marginal countries remain neutral.

In 2171, the situation in China and Europe escalated, and the red regime declared war on the blue regime. Both sides accused the other party of firing the first shot, thus opening the curtain of World War III.

In the winter of the same year, the South China Sea incident broke out. China and Japan had a naval battle in the South China Sea, NATO declared war on Pan-Asia cooperation, and the Asian battlefield began. In the same year, a political crisis broke out in Mongolia, and military frictions broke out between the Red regime and China, forcing a large number of military forces between the two countries to confront each other at the border.

In 2172, the Red regime detonated its first nuclear bomb in Paris, declaring that World War III entered the stage of nuclear war.

In 2173, this modern war unexpectedly fell into a stalemate. The whole world was affected by nuclear radiation, and the ecological environment was uncontrollable and almost devastating. The nuclear winter caused 80% of the earth's land to be covered with ice and snow. No one expected that global climate warming would end due to such a very ironic reason. War, famine, disease... This modern world war almost exhausted all the vitality of human civilization in just two years, and the economic losses caused far exceeded the sum of World War I and II. It is also because of this that peace came naturally without a decision. Because everyone knew that if they continued to fight, they were afraid that no one would be able to survive.

In the New Year of 2174, the Peace Treaty officially came into effect. The "Reconstruction of the Biosphere" plan was officially launched, and the radiation removal plan was jointly funded by all countries.

In the autumn of 2174, the international joint organization announced the "Reconstruction of the Biosphere" plan to abort. The purified radiation bacteria under development produced uncontrollable mutations due to radiation. At the same time, due to attacks by unknown armed forces, mutant bacteria spread on a large scale in cities. Humans infected with mutant bacteria will become zombie-like, and a global Resident Evil outbreak will break out. All institutions are paralyzed, and all orders collapse overnight.

...

In 2176, the World United Organization launched six colonial ships to the planet Captan B in Centaurus. It carries the hope of human civilization and sails into space in the name of sowing ships to find a new home. However, all this has nothing to do with the people who are still struggling on the ground.

In the same year, the World United Organization announced its dissolution.

The information recorded in the newspaper only lasted until 2176. Most of the remaining information Jiang Chen saw from a yellowed diary. It can be concluded from the electronic watch that is still running in the drawer that the current time point is the conclusion in June 2190.

It's a coincidence that it's June.

However, in just five years, the human civilization in this world line has ruined itself with its own hands.

After a short stay, Jiang Chen chose to return to modern times. There are too many unknown dangers here, and it is really not a wise choice to explore without complete preparation.

Jiang Chen, who returned to modern times, took a two-day break, and then bought a box of canned food, a box of ham, and a box of instant noodles from a nearby supermarket. Out of caution, even though he did not plan to spend the night in that dangerous place, he still carried three days of food.

During the day, the strength of zombies seemed to be greatly weakened, which also facilitated Jiang Chen to explore this area. Carefully passing through the middle of the street to avoid the area with more zombies, Jiang Chen found this villa...

The tall courtyard walls and iron doors look very secure, and the yellow vegetation in the courtyard looks a bit bleak. The reliefs on the marble cylinder next to the main building of the villa have been blurred by acid rain. It can be seen that the pollution in this world should be very serious.

The stone building structure is not very sci-fi, and it can be seen that the former owner of the villa seems to be a rich man who is very good at enjoying life.

As for why you choose to explore this villa, the answer is naturally obvious. No matter how much you say, the rich man has to put some valuable things on his home?

However, what Jiang Chen met was not something valuable, but a beauty who was almost starving to death.

Perhaps he was paralyzed by beauty and vigilant, or perhaps Jiang Chen from a civilized society had not gone to the dangerous side at all. In short, when he saw the beauty who had no strength to breathe, he took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack generously, put it to the beauty's mouth, and fed her very sympathetically.

It’s important to save people...hehe, will she agree with her body? Cough.

Then Jiang Chen took out the canned chicken curry. After smelling the scent of the can, the beauty still looked at Jiang Chen with her big watery eyes full of begging. Being looked at by the beauty with such eyes was an indescribable enjoyment for Jiang Chen, who was still a virgin, both mentally and physically.

So Jiang Chen took out the spoon enthusiastically and fed the hot-legged beauty bit by bit to eat the delicious food in the can.

Then...nothing.

Then Jiang Chen regretted and wanted to suck himself in the face.

The beautiful woman's actions perfectly interpreted what the story of a farmer and a snake is.

After drinking a canned food and a few steamed buns, the beauty pulled out her pistol from her waist without saying a word and pressed it on Jiang Chen's forehead. When Jiang Chen was completely stunned and did not react, she had already tied him skillfully to the stool and took out the original owner of the villa with materials...uh, it should be a sex toy - a leather whip. She began to question Jiang Chen in a fierce manner.

Now, Jiang Chen has probably realized what it means to walk on the street with a backpack of food on his backpack.

Fortunately, I met Miss Sun Jiao, who was more or less conscientious. If I met a villain like a cannibal, a slave trader, I would be afraid that it would be tied up as rice dumplings as food or commodity.

Of course, Jiang Chen can actually choose to start the tattoo on his wrist and teleport it back to modern times. But in this way, it means that his biggest secret has been exposed. Once he is "guarded by this woman", he will have to face greater danger.

He was unwilling to give up this "treasure land" just now.

Moreover, it takes time to activate the time travel function. Once this crazy woman finds something wrong, it is hard to guarantee that she will not shoot directly.

Jiang Chen didn't want to take this risk, but fortunately he has reached a cooperative relationship with this woman now.

-

"Hey, I said, how are you going to transport daily necessities here?" Sun Jiao asked in confusion while strengthening the weak defense area of ​​the villa.

"My companion naturally has a way, you don't have to worry about this." Jiang Chen continued to lie.

There are indeed a lot of money in this villa, but the money in this world is very different from the money in Jiang Chen's original world. Jiang Chen wanted to go and find some valuable gold and other things, but the owner of this villa obviously did not put those valuable things at home.

The murals hanging on the wall may be very valuable, but those great painters are afraid that they do not exist at all on Jiang Chen. It is obviously not feasible to use these artworks for money. Jiang Chen showed great interest in the more advanced home facilities in the villa. However, when he discovered that things such as holographic video TV and automatic cooking equipment could not be started normally, Sun Jiao gave the reason simply.

"Ah, you said those things... After the nuclear explosion, most electronic devices will not be used. However, if you dismantle the key components on this, you can still exchange a small amount of useful things at many survivor bases as parts."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen sighed and had to give up the idea of ​​moving these equipment to Hyundai to sell.

However, since these things have existed, it means that someone will be able to create these things again. Jiang Chen believes that if food is used as an exchange, there will definitely be many "elites" in this world who are willing to work for him. After all, in this apocalypse, those luxurious civilian technologies are really worthless.

If a weak technician does not have the ability to master high-end technologies such as making arms, he will probably have to face the fate of living in a slum.

Sun Jiao didn't know where Jiang Chen fell in love with this villa, but since the employer asked her to do work, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

"If I want me to say it directly, it doesn't make any sense to strengthen this building. As long as you don't make too much noise, those brainless zombies will never be able to touch it. There are no powerful mutant creatures in this area, and you do this purely..."

"Okay, I'm not guarding against zombies. I also know that as long as I don't provoke those disgusting guys, they won't come and provoke me. I'm preventing uninvited guests from touching them in. Do you understand? You must not want to be wiped off your neck when you're sleeping. We need to stay in the city for a while, and this place will be our supply point." While speaking, Jiang Chen glared at Sun Jiao viciously.

"Okay boss," Sun Jiao rolled her eyes and nailed the last nail to the wooden board. In fact, she wanted to refute: No one would touch such a obviously plundered building at all.

As for why she is here...that is her secret.

"Do you have a map nearby?" He sat on the moldy sofa with his legs crossed. Jiang Chen had no guilt about letting this beauty do coolies. The woman almost had a question about him just now, and the feeling of being pointed at by a gun was not good at all.

Sun Jiao was obviously very skilled in this kind of work, so she quickly strengthened the first floor of this villa. As for the materials for the renovation, they were naturally all made of local materials...

"Where is your Epaid? I can pass it to you directly."

"Epaid?" Jiang Chen was stunned.

"That's the thing," Sun Jiao tapped the wrist-loaded computer tied to her arm with her fingers, grinning as if she had heard something interesting, "You can't have it?"

"...I can buy it." Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly and touched his nose. He felt like he was like a primitive man in front of this girl.

"It's hard to imagine... You dare to come to the city to explore without EP. Are you not afraid of your internal radiation index exceeding the standard?" Sun Jiao sighed, and took out something like a large electronic watch from the portable backpack behind her and threw it to Jiang Chen, "Try put it on."

"It seems quite suitable...where did you get it?" Jiang Chen fiddled with it, surprised by the development of technology in this world. This thing called EP is very light on his hands, and it doesn't feel in the way. The yellowish fluorescent screen shows Jiang Chen's various physiological indicators, which seems to be a health monitoring device.

"Take it from the body of an unlucky guy." Sun Jiao grinned. The smile was obviously very sunny, but it made Jiang Chen shudder involuntarily.
