"Didi-Didi-"
The alarm at the bedside started to make noise.
Bai Qianzhi woke up from his heavy dream.
Just a few seconds later, a hand slapped on the head of the alarm bell-
"Let's go to school......"
Bai Qianzhi stood up slowly.
The corner of his eye swept towards the clock, and it was six thirty in the morning.
Hey, this time is still early for most people.
But for a senior high school student like him, he hadn't left the house yet, and time was tight enough.
After washing, Bai Qianzhi walked out of the house calmly. In the early days of the East, there were already many students on the streets.
The air in early autumn is a bit cool, and you can occasionally see self-disciplined cleaning robots sweeping fallen leaves on the road.
Maybe the times are moving too fast.
At present, only in the 22nd century, highly simulated intelligent robots have become popular all over the world. High-rise buildings, streets, and alleys are full of them. Various robot production companies have sprung up, and new types of pollution have also followed.
Bai Qianzhi was born into an upper-class family.
His father is an executive at a home robot production company, and his mother is a housewife. Bai Qianzhi himself has never had a good impression of these cold machines dressed in human skin.
Although it is not something he can control, sometimes he feels that the world he has lived in for nineteen years is getting farther and farther away from him.
Unknowingly, the footsteps approached the school gate.
Habitually sitting in a breakfast shop at the school gate, Bai Qianzhi set his sights on the TV on the wall while waiting for breakfast.
Home is actually not far from the school. However, even so, Bai Qianzhi has not had breakfast at home since a few years ago.
If you want to say why......
Maybe it's a conflict with my parents, or maybe it's something else. In short, he couldn't remember the last time he had breakfast with his family.
There are some boring reports on TV, but it's enough to pass the time.
About a minute passed, and Bai Qianzhi quickly noticed that the TV was trembling slightly.
I thought it was an illusion, but it wasn't until it shook more and more that Bai Qianzhi frowned and turned his gaze away, and then realized a problem.
It's not that the TV is shaking, but that everything around him is shaking.
"Earthquake, earthquake!"
Hearing the exclamation from outside, the people inside reacted suddenly. Everyone, young and old, put down the tableware in their hands and rushed out screaming.
Bai Qianzhi just sat quietly in place, watching the crowd. It is like a transparent object that has nothing to do with the world, and it is like a passerby watching a farce.
It wasn't until the crowd had fled that he sighed softly as if he remembered something and set off towards the exit.
"Boom—"
The vibration frequency continued to intensify, and the deep roar from the center of the earth made people more and more panicked.
In a hurry, the fleeing crowd knocked down the little boy passing by the door. Even if the child howls, no one is willing to be distracted at this moment.
"Save my child, save him!"
Hearing the child's mother shouting anxiously on the other side of the crowd, Bai Qianzhi, who had just escaped, turned his head to look at the little boy and then at the crumbling breakfast shop. Without much hesitation, he turned around and quickly rushed to the boy's position.
At the same time as the rush, the breakfast shop could no longer withstand the vibration and began to disintegrate rapidly.
Bai Qianzhi took three steps and two steps, grabbed the little boy with one hand, and then tried his best to push the boy out to safety. After the boy landed, he was immediately rescued by his mother.
At this time, the collapsed cement slab had already followed Bai Qianzhi.
"Is it over?"
Everything around me is collapsing.
Bai Qianzhi, who was only a stone's throw away from death, thought about such a sentence and closed his eyes.
Well......
This is fine......
"Bai-humble-"
"Bai Qianzhi—I remembered—"
"Your—name—"
Amidst the noisy voices and the earth-shattering collapse of buildings, Bai Qianzhi vaguely heard someone calling his name behind him.
He subconsciously turned his head to look.
The moment he turned his head, the last thing reflected in his eyes was a pale and dazzling light.
——
"No, ......."
The place where he awakened again was not a hospital bed, but a large unfamiliar grassland composed of unknown strange green grass that was only ankle-deep.
After trying to blink a few times, the blurred vision gradually became clearer.
The first thing that catches your eye is the sky.
Blue sky.
The sky was eerily blue, with no clouds, like the sun shining on the spotless coral sea. The vast canopy had a shocking momentum, and all he scrambled to fill his eyes with was blue.
The body couldn't help but start shaking.
Huh? Tremble......
Moving his fingers slightly, Bai Qianzhi found that he was not as shattered as expected.
There was no severe pain, and the body was able to move naturally.
"Where is this?"
Standing up with his hands supported, he said to himself.
There were no injuries, not even the clothes were dirty or torn.
The cash and student ID card in his pocket were still there, and he was instantly moved to another place on the spot as if he had been instantly moved to another place on the spot during the earthquake.
And wherever the line of sight reaches, except for the blue sky, only the emerald green remains.
Bai Qianzhi didn't know where this was, but he was sure that this was not the earth.
After just a few seconds of being stunned, the first possibility came to mind.
"Dreaming?"
Bai Qianzhi took a deep breath, and a large amount of fresh air immediately penetrated into his lungs, mixed with a slight damp grassy smell. This not very strong taste suddenly struck him, making him feel a little sick to his stomach for a while. It took a while to get used to coughing violently.
"Dreams are not so true."
He pinched himself hard.
"Hiss......"
His cheeks hurt, and Bai Qianzhi rubbed his teeth.
It shouldn't be a dream to feel pain so obviously.
"But heaven or hell shouldn't look like this."
Standing up, Bai Qianzhi looked around blankly.
The terrain of this grassland is a continuous gentle slope after another, like a piece of ground that has been slammed into the ground with a huge wooden stick. And he was at the top of one of the gentle slopes.
As far as the eye could see, there was not a single tree around, let alone any trace of humans. The grassland continued to stretch until it disappeared into the distant horizon, giving him a sense of loneliness that every day should not be called the earth.
Trying to calm himself down, Bai Qianzhi screened several possibilities about the current situation in his head.
In the end, he got the most absurd and at the same time realistic answer.
"I can't have crossed over, right?"
After that-
"Crossing, that is, you have come to a strange world."
Bai Qianzhi sighed and walked aimlessly through the calf-deep grass.
Although there is nothing to miss on the earth, dying in the earthquake like that can be regarded as a happy ending. At present, it seems that there is not enough space, so it is an unfinished novel that is forcibly connected to a paragraph, which is inexplicably unpleasant.
"What is ......?"
While walking, my toes suddenly touched a soft object. After subconsciously kicking over, I immediately felt a sense of stickiness.
When Bai Qianzhi struggled to take his foot back and looked down, he saw a large ball of slime in the grass that was turquoise all over, about twenty or thirty centimeters high, and a large sticky lump of mucus was wriggling towards him.
"Ah!!"
The next moment, a shout sounded on the grassland -
——Bai Qianzhi is running wildly.
I don't know which direction I am running, but there is a disgusting slime monster behind me, who can control so much, and the instinctive fear of unknown creatures alone is enough to make my legs move on its own.
"Whoever it is, come and save me!"
While calling for help, Bai Qianzhi did not forget to turn his head to look at the situation behind him. The guy was fast, and the distance between one person and one monster was constantly shortening.
"You can run so fast without legs? Seriously?"
It was this distraction that tripped on what was probably some kind of strong grass stalk with his left foot, and Bai Qianzhi fell uncontrollably and gnawed on the mud, eating several pieces of weeds.
"Tsk...... I can't escape."
Since I was wearing it thinly, I could feel the pain in my knees and arms through my clothes. But at this time, I couldn't care about this, because the slime monster was already approaching.
It was futile to run again, Bai Qian subconsciously used his hands to protect him, intending to resign himself to fate.
At this moment——
A galloping fireball hit it before he could react.
