Taking his eyes away from the screen, Wu Ming thought for a moment and finally understood what happened.
He did die, but for some unknown reason, he was reborn three years ago, before the catastrophe. Although this was unbelievable, it really happened.
As for why Wu Ming confirmed it like this, it was because he saw the same news report.
Many areas around the world have been hit by meteorites, causing heavy casualties. Governments of various countries have sealed off the scene. This news seems unusual. After all, meteorites hit all parts of the world at the same time. Anyone would think there is something wrong with it.
But Wu Ming knew that not only was there a big problem, it was also a huge problem.
Because Wu Ming once experienced the same thing.
At that time, like everyone else, he was very curious to discuss the headline news. Of course, they only discussed it as an anecdote. After all, it had nothing to do with them. They forgot about it within two days, and no one knew or explored it.
the truth.
Thinking of his previous life, Wu Ming knew how ridiculous he was. He had missed the best opportunity to prepare, which was why he was so passive in the future. He struggled to survive for three years, achieved nothing, and finally died miserably. Now he was reborn.
But he knew the 'truth' about the meteorite's landing very clearly. When he thought of what was about to happen seven days later, Wu Ming shuddered involuntarily.
Obviously, Wu Ming knew how terrible what happened seven days later was.
However, since he is reborn this time and has the opportunity to experience it all again, Wu Ming will never be able to 'sit back and wait for death' like he did in his last life.
Perhaps because of his experience in surviving in the new world, Wu Ming immediately calmed down and focused his attention. This was something he could only achieve after long-term training.
Looking at the news about 'meteorite landing' written on the screen, Wu Ming sneered. The news itself was false. Things did fall from the sky all over the world, and many buildings were destroyed, but that was not news.
The 'meteorite' mentioned here is something else.
If it weren't for people who had actually been to the scene or government officials who had the secret, they would definitely not know what the dropped thing was at this time, but Wu Ming knew it, because in the new world, it was not a secret at all.
Those things falling from the sky are ‘cards’.
The cards come from the "different space". In the new world, some people call it "the entrance to hell" or the "magic card space". In short, there are many names. The cards in the new world come from that different space.
Wu Ming knew that the card contained a very unique energy called 'vital energy'. When it landed, it would be surrounded by an extremely powerful protective shield of vitality. The friction with the air would be like a meteorite falling, and that layer of protective shield of vitality would also
It will last for a period of time to protect the card from being destroyed. In other words, even if you take a bomb, you cannot destroy the card, let alone destroy it, and you cannot even move it.
If an 'awakened person' comes to collect them at this time, they can get those extremely precious cards, but it is obviously impossible at this time.
Now the different space has not been fully opened, and naturally the mysterious energy that can "awaken" humans has not penetrated into this world. Without awakeners, the card will never be stored.
If some cards are not stored, they will automatically trigger ‘activation’ after reaching a certain time limit.
Wu Ming knew that the first wave of cards fell from the sky last night, most of which were 'parasitic beetle' cards. Once the parasitic beetle card is activated, this creature will be released. The parasitic beetle is a
This is an extremely terrifying monster that can break through the skin and burrow into the human body to parasitize the brain. The parasitized human will turn into a kind of insect, which is extremely cruel. As Wu Ming knows, many humans have died from this insect.
human attack.
The official New World of this monster only lists it as a first-level creature. In the New World, many awakened ones who have gained powerful abilities can easily kill them. However, at the moment, the emergence of the parasitic beetle is definitely a disaster.
According to Wu Ming's memory, more cards will fall from the sky in the next seven days, and then they will all be activated about seven days later, that is, at 9 pm on September 10.
At that moment, human history will be completely rewritten.
Wu Ming cannot stop all this, or he has no ability to stop it. As an ordinary person, the biggest advantage Wu Ming has is that he has self-knowledge. Wu Ming cannot save the world. What he can do is to prevent those cards from being blocked.
Before activating, make adequate preparations for disasters.
Seven days is not a long time, but we have to race against time.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in from the outside, wearing a decent suit, and his hair was very neatly done. When the employees in the company saw this man, they immediately stood up to say hello.
"Hello, Manager Xiang!"
This man's name is Xiang Ming, the manager of the company's technical department and Wu Ming's immediate boss. He has always been at odds with Wu Ming and always tries to find ways to make things difficult for Wu Ming. But the latter knows that this is because of a party half a year ago.
First, the reason why he didn't give the other party face to drink. Xiang Ming was narrow-minded, so naturally he held a grudge in his heart, and usually targeted Wu Ming everywhere.
As soon as Xiang Ming walked in, he said to Wu Ming: "Xiao Wu, have you finished the test version developed yesterday? Today I want to report to the head office. You should write a detailed product description immediately and have a meeting on time at 9:30 for discussion.
!”
Colleagues around me stuck out their tongues when they heard this, secretly saying that this was a serious announcement. The test version that was developed yesterday needs to be written in detail today, and it is already eight o'clock. In other words, there is only one and a half hours of preparation time. Normally
There was not enough time under the circumstances, not to mention that Wu Ming had already worked overtime all night.
At that moment, everyone looked at Wu Ming with sympathetic eyes. Li Xia also heard it and wanted to say something angrily. She also thought that she was just a receptionist, so even if she said it, it would be useless, but she endured it.
Come down.
If it were normal, although Wu Ming would be angry, he would definitely endure it and seize the time to write the document. After all, although Xiang Ming is a bastard, this job is a high salary, and Wu Ming will not easily get along with him for this job.
There is a conflict with the immediate boss.
But now, Wu Ming is no longer the Wu Ming he was before.
It can be said that this is a critical period when time is racing against time. How could Wu Ming be so stupid as to waste time writing some bullshit documentation? Xiang Ming was waiting to go back to his office and make a cup of coffee to refresh himself, but he didn't expect Wu Ming to come over.
She said five words directly to him and walked away.
For a moment, needles could be heard in the office, until Wu Ming pushed open the door and walked out, everyone's ears were still ringing with the unbelievable words he just said.
"I quit!"
Yes, Wu Ming chose to resign. This was also a choice he had to make. Anyone with a right mind would not be able to continue working if he knew that a terrible disaster would happen in seven days. As for adding 'Lao Tzu' in front of it,
It's completely a personal preference. Wu Ming has long disliked Xiang Ming.
Wu Ming has a lot of things to do. He doesn't want to live like the last life. He needs to be fully prepared to face the great changes in seven days.
After walking out of the company building, Wu Ming took a deep breath, and at this time, his cell phone rang.
Taking it out, Wu Ming was delighted. It was Li Xia calling. Wu Ming knew that Li Xia would definitely call to ask if he was crazy, but he answered the phone.
Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, Li Xia on the other end started asking questions like a barrage: "Wu Ming, I admit that you were very handsome just now. At that moment, even I was almost moved, but life has to go on. Are you?
Are you crazy? Or are you planning to change jobs? Do you know that Xiang Ming was so angry that he banged the table and threw the cup, and said that he would have no place for you in this industry in Yushi? He is just a
You villain, why are you so angry with such a person?"
Wu Ming was very relieved when he heard the following news. However, at this time, Wu Ming naturally couldn't explain anything to Li Xia. He could only think of a reason to fool him first.
After talking to Li Xia on the phone, Wu Ming went to a roadside breakfast stall, ordered breakfast for himself, and carefully planned what he wanted to do in the past seven days.
The first is the reason for this catastrophe. According to the official news released by the New World, it is because the space where they live collided with another space, creating a 'channel' similar to a wormhole. Those cards are from
Another space.
Now the passage between the two spaces only created some small wormholes due to the first collision, and only some ordinary cards can pass through the passage. Only two months later, under the constant collision of the two spaces, will the passage
Fully open.
Only when the passage is completely opened will a large amount of vitality flow in. With sufficient vitality, human beings will have awakened people. In other words, the time of awakening determines a person's future. In the last life, Wu Ming was in
He only successfully awakened eight months after the disaster, which is relatively late compared to others.
The so-called awakened ones use their vitality to transform and strengthen their bodies. The strength, speed, and reflexes of the awakened ones are much stronger than those of ordinary people. The biggest difference is that the awakened ones can use their vitality and the power of cards.
This is the real key.
But this time, Wu Ming planned to wake up as early as possible.
In the new world, human beings use their ingenuity to invent a "vital energy collection device" that can collect the "vital energy" that travels. In this way, the little things add up, and even people with low potential can slowly awaken. In the previous life,
Wu Ming bought this 'vital energy collection' device from others through a desperate attempt, and finally woke up eight months later.
It just so happened that Wu Ming knew the structure of such a device, and it would not be difficult to create it. Moreover, although it was only the first collision between two spaces, small space wormholes already existed, and there would also be stray ones.
The vitality permeates through, so if you collect it earlier, you may awaken earlier.
Only by becoming an awakened person can we survive. This is the most important thing.
In addition, a large amount of supplies must be prepared to deal with disasters. You must know that after the first wave of cards are forcibly activated in seven days, a variety of terrifying monsters will appear, and parasitic beetles are just one of them, so you must also prepare some self-defense
equipment.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming felt like he didn't have enough time.
At that moment, he wrote down the things he had to prepare on a piece of paper, then quickly finished his breakfast and immediately got up and left.
