Chapter 1-3 (1/2)

In the laboratory full of equipment, with iron walls that were like a metal fortress, Bai Jing lay on the bed, silently, arms and legs held by metal restraints.. His youthful face motionless, he let researchers inject him with a newly developed drug.

Piercing, tearing pain washed over him , and his young body throbbed. Those researchers showed their excitement : ”Hurry,&h.e.l.lip;hurry&h.e.l.lip;there's a reaction, increase the dosage.”

Then, more people gathered around the bed, one of them quickly administering another shot of the drug. Regardless of Bai's struggle, in his eyes, Bai was nothing more than cold equipment.

The pain that came from the soul had already completely overwhelmed his body. Bai Jing desperately struggled, gouging wounds on his legs and arms deep enough to show bone. Blood flooded the ground, and Bai became motionless before falling into darkness.

And he still thought : It's great that I could die like this, but what if the clock could turn back&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;

Blinking once more, Bai Jing went blank. His eyes looked directly at this familiar yet unfamiliar place. This extremely luxurious room had been his favorite. Bright, s.h.i.+ning sunlight shot through the big sliding door, and the fresh air was fragrant with flowers and gra.s.s. It was just like usual life before the apocalypse.

Lifting up his stiff arms, he looked over and over again at his white hands that looked like jade. There was no rough skin, no scars or needle holes. He clearly remembered that before he pa.s.sed out, these two hands were b.l.o.o.d.y.

Is this a dream? Bai Jing thought dimly. Staring blankly at the plants outside, Bai believed that he was within a dream that he pictured, so now what he looked at seemed unreal. This place was just like where he lived after his seventh birthday. Even the view outdoors was the same.

Slowly lifting up his body, his brain painfully throbbed. Bai Jing suddenly stiffened. He would never ever forget this familiar pain.

Harshly slamming himself, he looked around. Sure enough, on the headboard was his old cell phone. Fighting strongly against the pain in his bones, Bai shakily climbed to the bed. Picking up his cellphone, he saw&h.e.l.lip;?

2019 July 31st!!

”Pi!!” The cell phone fell upon the floor.

Bai Jing went limp, his body kneeling on the bed. Suddenly, he began laughing quietly, then louder and louder until tears streamed endlessly. Then he cried, and then he howled. His crying sounds were painful, howling as if to shake the room, as if to wash away the years of those grievances, suffering, horror and fear.

He cried until he was tired. Feeling hungry, Bai Jing now gradually calmed down. Then another throbbing pain stabbed into his brain, unstoppable, but this time there was a strong dizziness. At that time when Bai Jing's sad emotions were so strong, he could not see the difference. Now that he jumped back to the time before apocalypse, what the h.e.l.l was with this headache?

It's not the same pain as when he had been drugged in the inst.i.tute, a pain as if the whole body was going to explode. It's more like his psychic had been exhausted and all energy drained, dizzy with bouts of pain.

Bai Jing checked his psychic power instantly with a thought. 0 rank? It's fine, at least he was still a Psychic Warrior. Bai Jing felt relieved. Holding back the loss within his heart, Bai regained his spirit. After all, he was so lucky as to be reborn; he couldn't get any more greedy. The date is 07/31/2019, a full year before the apocalypse. He had enough time to prepare.

And right after the beginning of the apocalypse, they will meet each other, right? The man named Xiao Sa!

Bai Jing's still had complex feelings towards Xiao Sa. He couldn't tell what this feeling was. Even when Xiao Sa died for him, he still felt unsure and disbelieving. But the one thing he could clearly answer is that if people ask what he felt about his rebirth, he would undoubtedly answer, to find Xiao Sa!

It was a knot in his heart that could not be untied, that could not be released, especially with the subsequent experiences, Xiao Sa's feelings became his only memory in his life. When the memory that Xiao Sa was ripped apart by zombies resurfaced, his heart ached. The ache penetrated deeply to the bone, to the heart, and to the lungs. It was so painful that it made him forget the abuse he suffered.

He remembered the first time they met was the time Xiao Sa saved him. Undoubtedly, it was all because of his hidden dimension. At that time, hidden dimension warriors were not unimportant. The cost of Xiao Sa's help was expensive. It cost him almost half of his storage s.p.a.ce within the hidden dimension.

Then, he joined Xiao's group. By that time, Bai felt too good about himself. Even when he was the one that was saved, he felt no grat.i.tude and only thought that rescue was a natural thing to do. He paid the price!! He also arrogantly said that if they escorted him to B City, his dad would pay them handsomely.

The him of then surely was disgusting. So Xiao Sa pushed him to edge of life and death, and saved him from death again and again.

But at that time Bai hated him so much. Now thinking back, Xiao Sa never treated him kindly, but he never let Bai get cold or get hungry. He hadn't yet suffered a series of betrayal and misfortune, but only remembered Xiao's wrongs without thinking of Xiao's kindness. That caused his confusion about Xiao's death. His death was so unreal.

However, thinking about his own hidden dimension, Bai quickly checked. Now that he could use his psychic power maybe he could use mutant powers as well.

The moment Bai Jing's mind attempted to do so, just right at the time he charged his psychic power, his brain pounded, like it had been stabbed by needles. A sharp, throbbing ache came, and he broke into a cold sweat. Even when it was so painful like this, it definitely could not suppress this huge surprise.

Not only did he still keep his hidden dimension, but it was also upgraded. Inside the s.p.a.ce, there were 8 acres of land. But if he could use the dimension, why then was his psychic power downgraded to 0 rank. In the apocalypse, mutant power grades went from 0 rank up. Most likely,a person who only just awakened their mutant power was 0 rank. He recalled that time, the time he awoke his hidden dimension ability.

At first, the dimension had only 20 cubic meters. At the time everyone sought after hidden-dimension warriors. He was so full of himself, believing that once he had this power no one would go against him. But after a while, hidden dimension warriors became object people guarded against most. Everywhere there was a shortage of food, and people were afraid of hidden- dimension warriors secretly hiding living supplies. Until one developed dimension isolate, dimension blade, etc. skills, hidden dimension warriors could breathe a sigh of relief. No matter which group they joined, there always was someone on guard against them. During the apocalypse, one can only become a cold, b.l.o.o.d.y, selfish person. There was no helping others, and there was not putting out your heart to trust others.

Whether it was friends, lovers, even if it was your parents, when facing the crisis of survival, everyone was an enemy.

He recalled after Xiao Sa died, his gang blamed him so bad that Han Yan really tried to kill him for revenge, until Zhou Ji stopped him. Bai felt so wronged and could not understand. Xiao Sa was so ferocious. How could he die? It obviously was Xiao's wrongdoing. Against his own will, Xiao had s.e.x with him. Bai believed it was humiliation, that Xiao Sa only wanted to toy with him in the apocalypse. Bai Gin hated him, and always would even after Xiao's death.

It wasn't until later, when he lacked food, running around from place to place, with people fighting to the bitter end just for a can of stinking food. It was then he remembered Xiao's kindness.

In fact, Xiao Sa did not only like to have s.e.x him, he also liked to train Bai and spew out words of irony at him. Frequently pus.h.i.+ng him into a zombie heap and saving him when he could not hold out any longer, it seemed Xiao Sa never truly hurt him.

During the time he survived alone, he was particularly grateful to Xiao Sa. He did not develop any other abilities, only relying on Xiao Sa's harsh survival training to live through until he joined another team.

Thinking about that team, Bai Jing's eyes flashed with a piercing glare.

When he joined them, he did not seek a wholesome life, only asking to not be hungry.He done his best doing his job where he was on the frontlines killing zombies. Even if they did not trust him, he kept his mouth shut.Hoping not to be kicked out of the team, he truly was afraid of surviving by himself. He was always alert, suspenseful, fearing that if he was careless, he would not see the light of tomorrow.

He was so careful to stay alive, and he was elated when his dimension mutated, developing land. Everyone was so nice to him. They could have a harvest, and he thought they could live happily after. No one knew, though, that just for the right to live in B City, the boss sold him out to the mutant inst.i.tute.

Whenever he thought of that period of terrible living, Bai Jing's mood became agitated, strong hatred surging throughout his heart, entering every bit of his blood and every cell. With a sudden headache, Bai Jing mind returned. With a bitter smile, maybe he should be glad for the life he led at the inst.i.tute. At least, his endurance to pain were extremely tough. When biting pain hit, he still kept his calm; there was nothing to worry about.

To cope with the physical discomfort, Bai Jing sorted out his memories. Feeling hungry he decided to eat first then worry about nothing later. There was still one year until the apocalypse after all.

Throwing on a random set of clothes, he opened the door. His eyes saw the magnificent hall. His lips could not help but twitch. How did he ever like this style before.

”Young master, you're awake. Would you like something to eat?”

”En!” Bai Jing nods. He remembered this maid. When the apocalypse came, because she feared for her family, she left, and with this leave, she never returned.

Bai Jing leisurely came to the restaurant, and the kitchen quickly put the dishes together. Regardless of their surprise, Bai Jing speedily devoured, every morsel a great enjoyment.

It was only when he was absolutely stuffed that he put down his chopsticks. He elegantly wiped his mouth and looked around. There were six bodyguards in the house, two of them kept within his sight. Besides them, there were also three maids, Nanny Chen, who was nowhere to be found, and the chauffeur, who might be asleep.

With his lips hanging in a mocking curve, Bai Jing could be considered a young and worthy heir.Unfortunately, he was just a shameful illegitimate child. His father was good to him only when there was no way to cause problems with the legal wife.

After dinner, Bai Jing quickly went upstairs. He just wanted to check his hidden dimension, for it was the greatest defense for his future life.

Closing the door, Bai Jing couldn't wait to enter his hidden dimension. When time pa.s.sed and it did not respond, Bai Jing did not give up. He could clearly feel the existence of hidden dimension. With a turn of his mind, he tested the items on the table. Sure enough, a cup went into it, but then he collapsed from an overwhelming sense of weakness. The pain in his brain was so excruciating that Bai Jing immediately stopped, and sat on the bed. Following the researchers' guides to circulate inner qi,he felt just a bit better after circulating one round over the whole body.

Bai Jing's brow tightened, and he believed he knew why his spiritual power is 0 rank when the dimension there had eight acres of land.

After rebirth, his body has yet to be honed by the apocalypse. It was unable to withstand the huge spiritual power as well as the successful experiment at the end of the apocalypse, otherwise his s.p.a.ce would not become larger. But people are dead, and although he does not understand why he jumped back to a year before the end, the hidden dimension still requires spiritual energy to support it. His hidden dimension had not disappeared. Rather, it should because of all of his spiritual power that his headaches would be so tremendous, and that he always felt his spiritual power was exhausted.

Thinking past this point, Bai Jing was not nervous anymore. Spiritual power can be slowly trained, and he had confidence that he could increase his spiritual power by a rank before the apocalypse. It must be said that he would should also thank the people at the inst.i.tute. With the growing shortage of food at the apocalypse, they only anxiously hurried to increase their ranks, even employing the most exotic and unusual of means.

After the outbreak of apocalypse, hidden in the public were many of the ancient kung-fu family who gradually exposed their talents. Although they did not advance their ranks as quickly as they could if they had used zombie core, they had a good, solid foundation, and zombie core weren't pushovers. Not only to be able to consume higher than their own rank, but also to prevent instability in their foundation, the most important thing for advancement is also luck, With talent, some people who consumed five cores can be promoted by one rank. Some people even swallowed between a dozen and twenty yet they advanced not one bit, and to move forward required even more cores. Otherwise, he thought, the researchers would not pay close attention to his hidden dimension, and he feared the apocalypse would have no support for it.

Bai Jing smiled an alluring smile, not without the thought of revenge. His heart is not without hatred, but now he's calm. Furthermore, he feels no need. Even if there is no need from him to take revenge during the apocalypse, for how long they can live, there is no promise at all.

Only this time, the secret of his hidden dimension absolutely cannot be leaked out.

Bai Jing's gaze darkened, flas.h.i.+ng a chilling light. In fact, in his previous life, his hidden dimension mutation was honestly an accident, if possible, he would like to throw away those terrible memories. But the situation didn't benefit anyone. Holding within their hearts the faintest of hopes, he told the boss about it. Who would have known he would be sold.

At that time, his spatial ability was already in rank 3, with 160 cubic meters of s.p.a.ce. The dimension could conceal him for 30 minutes. In the midst of a confusion, the base of a rank 5 who suffered serious injuries attracted other groups' attention instantly. Three groups fought for four 5 rank cores, and the man knew they were enemies, so he just simply threw the cores into the river, to divert their attention in order to protect himself.

When the boss saw this, he ordered him to go down into the river. Although the river is not deep, the abnormal species of animals in the river were all ferocious and also in a large number. Only by hiding in his dimension could he temporarily fulfill his duty. Bai Jing was not good with water, and as time pa.s.sed, there were other teams around with hidden dimension warriors. His heart filled with worry. Disregarding whatever the outcome, together with the cores, including its surrounding stones, water, and some variations mutating animals and plants, all were incorporated into the dimension. Only then did his heart breathe a sigh of relief, yet before he climbed up the sh.o.r.e, a sharp pain shot through his body. His blood vessels felt like they were about to burst open, and then he lost consciousness. That time, he really thought he would die.

When he woke up, he had returned to the base. He listened to caretaker Ms. Lee say that when he was rescued, the whole body was caked in blood, with not a shred of intact flesh. Fortunately, the river's mutant animals did not eat him, or else, how would he have survived.

After Bai Jing heard of this, he was frightened into a cold sweat, and he felt a mysterious calling within his heart. And when his boss asked for the crystal-nucleus, Bai Jing face turned a pale white. Using his mutant ability to find that his spiritual power and ability actually went down to rank 0. 0 rank spatial warriors had no way to use other skills. At that time he was thinking, if not the core was still in his hand, he would be such a waste, and the boss would not save him.

Only a short time later did he find his hidden dimension changed into something different. Divided into two layers, one layer was the s.p.a.ce to accommodate items. The other became a layer of land, an acre's worth, of which half an acre is clean spring water. In the spring there is a huge stone. Alongside the stone was a strange plant, which looked like a lotus, but something about it was bewitchingly different.

Although Bai Jing was surprised at the time, he was more anxious because he found that the dimension did not have those four 5 rank crystal-nucleus. Even his collection of things from before, including his mother’s relics, had all disappeared. Helpless, he could not hand over the cores, and could only tell the truth, but only hiding the piece of stone and lotus. If he remembered correctly, that piece of rock should be a meteorite, and the river just happened to be near the meteorite's crater.

In the days after, Bai Jing still led a fair life, but he also found that his spiritual power, although less, had become more pure, which meant that he his advancements would be more difficult. When after absorbing fifteen zombie cores nothing changed, Bai Jing felt the boss' att.i.tude towards him changed.

So he paid more attention to his training his ability and finally advanced to rank 1. The land had become two acres, but before he could celebrate, the boss sold him to the Inst.i.tute, for a residence right in the B City. Relative to other places, B City is the capital of Z, where there was a military guard, and was thus more secure.

Bai Jing's heart was filled with hate. If there is nothing in this world he most reluctantly stepped into, that is B City, and when he was looking forward to see his father, the results &h.e.l.lip;

Bai Jing gave a miserable smile, He did not blame him, really did not blame him. Who let the father’s wife hold so much power over the military. At the time, the political party had become a mere decoration. Although Bai Jing is a son, the legal wife also gave birth to his two daughters, He only cared about himself, and quarreled with the legal wife. Had these things not always been so?

Therefore, he was to be raised in the D city from since he was little. A year had not but a few visits from his father, but he was good to him and spoiled him, allowing Bai the illusion he was important, but a few years later, no more.

Bai Jing does not hate him, does not blame him, but he just could not understand. Even when he was about to leave, why would the woman not let go of him. He did not believe his father was oblivious to this. If he wanted him dead, he need only to say the words. He only hates; why did Xiao Sa have to get involved even though he'd rather Xiao Sa not save him.

“That's a rather pathetic look you're giving me.”

”Not at all.”
