Therefore, the understanding of the future is extre Chen, Male, 23 years old An undergraduate student He spent so store but has since been laid-off The increased financial pressure forced him to make a difficult decision: to search for another job in wanghai City or to go back to his hoive up so easily To live in a hai City was his dream since he was a child, and it was also what his parent’s expected For soer to explore what the world had to offer
However, he knew that the journey would be difficult He got drunk It was the first tiraduation where he drank alone till he passed out After he let out all his frustration and sorrow, dizziness struck his head, and he became immediately unconscious An unknown metal object directly hit his arm and fused with it It disappeared as quickly as it has appeared It was almost as if it never existed in the first place
Then, he discovered a peculiar ability – time and dimensional travel
Of course, it took hie looking pattern surrounded his right wrist like a watch If one examined it carefully, the bracelet was shaped like an odd looking tattoo
Then it obviously so because he never had a tattoo He did not knohy he became the chosen one However, he understood at that moment, this was the opportunity of a lifetime
Tie to understand these strange phenomenas But one time he was struck by electricity and felt completely fine That hen he discovered the tattoo’s ees of power Then, it met the requirements to perform “multiverse travel” Multiverse travel itself costed half of the energy Therefore, coes of electricity would allow for a round trip through time and dimensions at the expense of around 50 dollars It was very economical Not only did the tattoo had the ability to travel, but it also contained an alternative dimension that he could visit at any tihly one square y to store and retrieve ite Chen preferred to use a backpack to store itee the energy in the apocalyptic world, then there was no way to coy storage could be upgraded, including the storage dimension The functionality definitely could also be improved He just didn’t understand how at theChen only needed to put his finger into an electric socket Although this was not aesthetically pleasing in any way, it was perfect for getting the job done How did he figure out? Like mentioned before, it was completely by accident
The first time he time traveled, he found hi with the corroded furniture spelled the tian exa this tie tape and old newspapers lying around, he gained so of this world
This world was a parallel universe siy was clearly far s spanned across the landscape, but there were no traces of any civilization Zo Chen did not dare to step out without a weapon
The tihai City However, the difference between the two tilobal wares in all kinds of resources An economic crisis ensued
The year 2164, a political crisis in Poland triggered a war between Europe and Hua The red arlobal politics, as a result, were in a tense period It orththat in this parallel universe, USSR was not dissolved in 1991, hence the global politics were divided into three organizations First, UA-led alliances known as NATO, a Soviet-led Europa known as CCCP, and lastly, the Han formed PCA with the Southeast Asian countries The rest of the forces remained independent
The year 2171, the tension on Europa escalated as the CCCP declared war on the PCA Both parties accused the others of initiating the warfare which caused the start of the third world war
In the same winter, Hua and japan launched a naval war over the conflict in the South Hua Sea NATO and CCCP declared cooperation as fires spread across Asia That year, Mongolia experienced a political crisis which caused further escalation between CCCP and PCA, with both sides a tremendous firepower on the borders
The year 2172, the first nuclear weapon was detonated by the CCCP in Paris, which officially brought the third world war into tactical nuclear warfare
The year 2173, thisstalemate The entire world experienced nuclear fallout as the habitable, without a doubt, received significant destruction The nuclear winter covered 80 of the land in snow nobody thought that such an ironic cause would end global warees, starvation, diseases were all symptoms of this modern warfare It only took two years to destroy humanity entirely The total economic losses far exceeded the combined losses of the previous world wars Due to this, peace came without a decisive victory for either side Everyone knew that if the war continued, no one would survive
New Year 2174, a peace treaty was negotiated and enacted “Habitat Revitalization Program” was established to remove nuclear fallout All nations participated in the funding of the program
Fall of year 2174, the United Nations announced the abortion of the “”Habitat Revitalization Program” as the cells used to remove nuclear waste experienced uncontrolled mutation At the same time, due to the attack by unknown an to spread into major cities The infected humans turned into zoical apocalypse The law and order that once governed civilization, shattered in days
The year 2176, The United Nations sent six colony exploration shi+ps towards Kepler B in Alpha Centauri These shi+ps contained the last hope for civilization These shi+ps werea neorld However, this was coround
In the same year, the United Nations were dissolved
The information contained in the newspaper only lasted till the year 2176 The remainder of the news came from an ancient diary From the electronic clock that still ticked in the drawer, the time was June 2190
By coincidence, the world he lived in was also June
But within this timeline, civilization destroyed itself in just five years
After he hadChen chose to return to the ers that it would be unwise to continue He hly prepared
After he had rested for two days, he bought a box of canned food, a box of sausages, and a box of instant noodles Even if he did not consider staying overnight at the dangerous place, he brought three days of food, just to be safe
The zo the day time seemed to have lost the majority of their powers It eased the exploration in that area, as Jiang Chen carefully stepped across the middle of the street He avoided the area concentrated with zoh wall and Iron Gate round made the place look fairly outdated The nizable due to the corrosion from the acid rain It was evident that the world was filled with pollution
As to why he chose this place in particular? The ansas quite obvious The rich looking mansion would contain some valuable ite valuable, but he did find a girl that was alirl’s beauty that caused hiuard down, or because of his experience from the civilized world that er When he saw the despair in the girl’s eyes, she looked so powerless He took out a bottle of water fro the girl is the most important priority because maybe she willChen took out the curry chicken froirl had smelled the aro Chen filled with despair He was a virgin himself, so there was no way he could have resisted the seduction, especially when a beautiful girl gazed at him with her watery eyes He felt a wave of joy both spiritually and physically So he took out his spoon in good heart and began feeding the girl with the flawless body

Of course, Jiang Chen could always activate the tattoo and travel back, but that irl “caer
He did not want to give up this “treasure land”
Also, it took tiirl realized that souarantee that she would not pull the trigger
He didn’t want to risk it The good thing was that they were able to reach an agreement
“Hoould you transport the supplies here?” Sun Jiao questioned with confusion in her voice while reinforcing the mansion’s external defense
“Of course my partners have ways to do so, you don’t have to worry about it” Jiang Chen continued to bullshi+t
