Chapter 2 (1/2)
The universe is pluralistic.
A butterfly in the Amazon jungle flapping its wings inadvertently may cause a tornado in Texas in two weeks. That is to say, any slight change may produce enough influence to change the future trend after unlimited amplification.
In other words, the future we understand is extremely unstable.
Jiang Chen, male, 23 years old, graduated from university. After graduation, I worked as a salesman in a clothing store, but I was dismissed. With his shrinking wallet, he has to face a dilemma: whether to stay in Wanghai city to find a job, or to return his rental house to his hometown?
To be honest, he didn't want to run back like this. To live in such a metropolis as Wanghai city is not only his long cherished wish since childhood, but also the expectation of his parents. Who have not seen the world, how many do not want to go out to see the world?
Even if you know it for a long time, the reality may turn you down.
That night, he was drunk. It was the first time since he graduated that he had drunk alone. He was unconscious. Just after venting his pent up bowels, he felt vaguely that his head had been whipped by something, and the whole person fainted. After hitting his wrist, the unknown metal object disappeared as if it had merged with him.
Then, he got a fantastic ability - through!
Of course, the ability to detect this anomaly is months later.
The strange tattoo is like a watch around his right wrist. Even if we look closely, we can only conclude that it is a strange tattoo.
So the question is, Jiang Chen has never had a tattoo?
He didn't know why the person who was elected was himself. He only knew that his chance to reach the peak of his life might come.
Time travel? Plane transition? He doesn't have enough expertise to explain this extraordinary phenomenon. It was just because of an accidental electric shock, but nothing happened. After absorbing about 100 degrees of electric energy, his wrists will be filled with tattoo like empty slots, which can meet the requirements of ”crossing”. One pass consumes about half of the energy tank, which means that 100 degrees of electricity is enough for a round trip. The cost of crossing is only about 50 yuan, which is too cheap.
In addition, the function of this weird tattoo is more than just crossing. Jiang Chen inadvertently found that this thing can make him go to a strange world, but also has an independent sub space! Generally speaking, it is a storage space of about 1 cubic meter. However, due to the need to consume a certain amount of energy to store and retrieve objects from the space, Jiang Chen still chose to carry the items in his backpack for crossing. After all, if you don't save the energy in the energy tank, if you can't find a way to replenish energy in the end of the world, won't you come back?
Jiang Chen has a premonition that this energy tank should be able to be upgraded, including the storage space. There should be some expansion space, but he has not yet figured out how to upgrade.
As for how to charge? The method is very simple, just put your right finger into the socket... This method is rough, but it works. As for how Jiang Chen discovered this method, it was completely due to an accidental electric shock.
The first time I passed through was in an abandoned house. From the dusty bed and rotten wooden window sill, we can see that this room has not been visited for a long time. After carefully confirming the environment, Jiang Chen began to explore the dilapidated house. From the half damaged radio with storage function and old newspapers, Jiang Chen barely learned some information about the world.
This is a parallel world similar to the earth, but technology is obviously ahead of Jiang Chen. There are many high-rise buildings, but there is no trace of civilization. The streets are full of zombies and xenobiotics. Jiang Chen, who has no reliable weapons, is afraid to go out easily.
The time is 2190, and the location is still Wanghai City, the Republic of China. However, the Wanghai city here is almost the same as the Wanghai city on the other side of Jiangchen.
In 2150, with global warming, all kinds of resources were extremely tense due to over exploitation, and the economic crisis came as scheduled.
In 2164, the political crisis in Poland ignited the powder keg of central Europe, and the red regime began to march westward. Affected by this, global geopolitics has entered a state of extreme tension. It is worth mentioning that in this parallel world, there was no collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Therefore, the world political structure is divided into three polar worlds: NATO military body (NATO) composed of the United States and its allies, the Soviet LED red regime in Central Asia and Europe (CCCP), 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 the Third World War.
In the winter of the same year, the South China Sea incident broke out. China and Japan had a naval war in the South China Sea. NATO declared war on Pan Asian cooperation and opened the Asian battlefield. In the same year, a political crisis broke out in Mongolia, and the red regime had military friction with China, forcing a large number of military forces of the two countries to confront each other on the border.In 2172, the red regime detonated its first nuclear bomb in Paris, declaring the third world war a nuclear war.
In 2173, the modern war fell into an unexpected standoff. The whole world has suffered from the impact of nuclear radiation, the ecological environment has been uncontrollably destroyed. Nuclear winter makes 80% of the earth's land covered with ice and snow. No one expected that global warming would come to an end for such a very ironic reason. War, famine, disease... This modern world war, in only two years, almost exhausted all the vitality of human civilization, causing economic losses far more than the sum of World War I and World War II. It is for this reason that peace has come naturally without winning or losing. Because everyone knows that if we fight again, no one will survive.
In the new year of 2174, the peace treaty came into force. The ”biosphere reconstruction” program was officially launched, and the radiation removal program was jointly funded by all countries.
In the autumn of 2174, the International Joint Organization declared that the ”reconstruction of the biosphere” plan was aborted. The radiation induced uncontrollable variation of the radiation purifying bacteria under development. At the same time, due to the attack of unknown armed forces, the mutant bacteria spread in the city on a large scale. People infected by mutated bacteria will become zombies and global biochemical crisis will break out. All institutions were paralyzed, and all order collapsed overnight.
...
in 2176, the United World Organization launched six colonial ships to the planet Kaptan B in Centaurus. It carries the hope of human civilization and sails to space in the name of a seedboat to find a new home. But none of this has anything to do with the people who are still struggling on the ground.
In the same year, the World Federation was dissolved.
The information recorded in the newspaper only lasted until 2176, and most of the rest was read from a yellowing diary. From the electronic watch still running in the drawer, it can be concluded that the current time point is June 2190.
Coincidentally, this time of life is also June.
However, in a short period of five years, human civilization in this world line has personally buried itself.

after a short stay, Jiang Chen chose to return to modern times. There are too many unknown dangers here. It is not a wise choice to explore without complete preparation.
Back in modern times, Jiang Chen had a rest for two days, and then bought a box of cans, a box of ham and a box of instant noodles from a nearby supermarket. As a matter of caution, even though he did not intend to spend the night in that dangerous place, he carried food for three days.
The strength of zombies in the daytime seems to have been greatly weakened, which also facilitates Jiang Chen to explore this area. Walking carefully through the middle of the street and avoiding the area where there are many zombies, Jiang Chen finds the villa...
the tall courtyard wall and iron gate look very safe, and the Yellow vegetation in the courtyard looks rather bleak. The relief on the marble column beside the door of the main building of the villa has been blurred by acid rain. It can be seen that the pollution of the world should be very serious.
The stone structure of the building is not sci-fi color, it can be seen that the former owner of the villa seems to be a rich man who can enjoy life very much.
As for why we choose to explore this villa, the answer is obvious, the rich people's home must put some valuable things?
However, what Jiang Chen met was not something valuable, but a beautiful woman who was almost starving to death.
Maybe he was paralyzed by beauty, or maybe Jiang Chen from civilized society didn't think about the danger at all. In a word, when he saw the beauty who had no strength to breathe looked at him with pleading eyes, he generously took out a bottle of mineral spring water from his knapsack and put it to the beauty's mouth. He was very kind to feed her to drink.
It's important to save people... Hey hey, will she promise me? Cough.
Then Jiang Chen took out the can of chicken curry. After smelling the can, the beauty still looked at Jiang Chen with her big, watery eyes. Being looked at with such eyes by a beautiful woman is a kind of unspeakable enjoyment both mentally and physically for the virgin Jiang Chen.
So Jiang Chen took out the spoon and fed the hot legged beauty little by little with the delicious food in the tin.
And then... No, then.
Then Jiang Chen regretfully wanted to slap his face.
The beautiful woman's action perfectly interprets the story of farmer and snake.
After a can and several steamed buns, the beauty pulled out the pistol from her waist without saying a word and put it against Jiang Chen's forehead. When Jiang Chen was completely stupid and didn't respond, she had tied him to the stool skillfully, and took out the villa's original owner's... Er, it should be the spice supplies - leather whip. He began to interrogate Jiang Chen.
By now, Jiang Chen has probably realized what it means to walk on the street with a backpack of food on his back.
Fortunately, what she met was Miss Sun Jiao, who was more or less conscientious. If she met any villains like cannibals and slavers, she would be bound into rice dumplings as food or commodities.Of course, Jiang Chen can also choose to activate the tattoo on his wrist and transmit it back to modern times. But in this case, it means that his biggest secret has been revealed. Once this woman ”guards the corpse”, he will have to face greater danger.
He is not willing to give up this ”treasure land”.
Besides, it takes time to activate the traversal function. Once this crazy woman finds something wrong, she won't shoot directly.
Jiang Chen didn't want to take the risk, but now he has reached a cooperative relationship with this woman.

”Hello, I said, how are you going to transport the living materials here Sun Jiao while strengthening the villa defense weak area, while puzzled to ask.
