NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1: Crossing
Yian District First Hospital
In the intensive care unit, a pale young man was lying on a bed covered with white medical bedding.
A gorgeously dressed woman was half-sitting on a family chair, her snow-white hands tightly holding the young man's hand, muttering to herself.
"Xiao Yu! It's all mom's fault. I put too much pressure on you and made you train and study all day long. Otherwise, you wouldn't have fainted in the martial arts training ground."
"I will never compare you with Xiao Ling again!"
"Hey! When will Xiaoyu wake up? The doctor checked many times and there is no problem. It has been three days, why is he still not waking up..."
The woman's deep voice was filled with sobbing, and her eyes were swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a while.
Suddenly, the young man who was lying straight before flicked his fingers. The woman felt the slightest movement, and her pretty face with tear marks immediately brightened with joy.
The young man gradually opened his eyes and saw a pretty face whose beauty could not be hidden by her bare face. This face was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Mom, don't worry."
I wanted to ask a question, but what came out was "Mom".
Although he was in a coma for the past three days, he was not completely unconscious of the outside world. A day ago, he had gradually been able to sense some information from the outside world, and he could hear the woman's murmurs clearly just now, but his body was still in an immobile state, just like a ghost paralyzed by sleep.
The reason why he was unconscious three days ago was because when he was practicing boxing and kicking in the Xiao family martial arts gym, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind.
[The wish fulfillment system is successfully launched and we are dedicated to serving you! ]
Then an enormous amount of memory information flooded into his mind, shocking him and making him faint.
After three days of information processing, the brain finally resumed working.
His original name was Xiao Yu, and he came from a parallel world to Earth, a world where humanity arose at the end of the world.
Various apocalyptic disasters began to occur on Earth in 2025. After experiencing a series of apocalyptic disasters such as super floods, super tsunamis, super earthquakes, and super volcanic eruptions in three consecutive years, the global population dropped from 75 billion to 33 billion.
But mankind's disaster is far from over. This is only the first wave of selection by the Creator.
Then, all the remaining humans were forced to enter a huge 360-story building at the top of the world to challenge levels. There were all kinds of monsters, warcraft, and demon beasts inside. These monsters would not update, but would give birth to cubs.
In other words, the later you clear the level, the more monsters there will be, and the harder it will be to clear the level.
The top of the world is like being able to perform multiple shadow clones, and each person's challenge is separate.
Each time you pass a level, you will receive rich rewards, including various martial arts secrets, weapons, mechanical equipment, and other resources.
After fifty years of hard work and difficulty in killing the boss guarding the 100th floor, Xiao Yu obtained this "Wish Fulfillment System".
From then on, his speed of clearing levels increased rapidly. In ten years, he had passed all 360 levels. He thought he would be free from then on.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the top of the world, he was teleported to a battlefield where all races were fighting for supremacy. There were many strong people stronger than him on the battlefield. In the first battle with the demons, he was killed instantly by a team leader.
Fortunately, the soul gem he had obtained before had been bound, so he was able to travel soul-ward to this world.
The price of this soul crossing is that the soul gem that could originally provide a continuous supply of soul power disappears.
There were also some confusing memories that made him unable to figure out whether his soul had entered this body three days ago, or when he was born eighteen years ago.
Regardless, he now controls this body.
According to memory, his predecessor was also called Xiao Yu, and the person who had been whispering beside the bed just now was his mother Xu Jingyi.
"R virus outbreak!"
"RR virus!"
"Hunting monsters in the wilderness area!"
"Warrior! General! God of War!"
...
The messages that flashed through my mind from time to time all showed that this was a world that swallowed the stars.
"I didn't expect that I came to the world of the original novel that was famous all over the world before the end of the world." Xiao Yu thought silently in his heart.
"Doctor, my son is awake." Xu Jingyi ran out shouting.
The loud voice interrupted Xiao Yu's thoughts.
Soon, a middle-aged male doctor in a white coat came to the ward with a detector and gestured to Xiao Yu's whole body. "The patient in bed 01205 has normal indicators and can be discharged."
With the help of the nurse, Xu Jingyi quickly completed the discharge procedures and took Xiao Yu home in her new energy supercar.
In the car, Xiao Yu kept recalling what was in his mind. Xu Jingyi did not disturb him considering that he had just woken up and needed to rest.
In his previous life, he was a novel fan and was naturally familiar with the world-famous Swallowed Star. He had read the original novel four or five times and had a very clear understanding of this world.
Devouring the Star is a world with a vast worldview. In 2013, an R virus influenza broke out on Earth. During the process of transmission, the R virus evolved into more than twenty variants.
In January 2015, the R virus evolved into its most terrifying variant, the RR virus.
As soon as the RR virus appeared, it spread rapidly around the world. All life on the world, whether human, bird or animal, as long as it needs to breathe, was infected with the RR virus.
After RR virus infection, the mortality rate is extremely high, almost reaching 30%. In just three months, most of the animals in the world died, and the global population dropped by nearly 20 billion! The five billion people who survived have all developed antibodies in their bodies, and almost every human being's physical fitness has more than doubled.
However, birds and beasts have made much greater progress than humans, and some monsters even possess intelligence that is no less than that of humans.
The war between humans and monsters began. It was not limited to land, but endless monsters in the ocean also participated in the war.
In the bloody and crazy war, humans used all available weapons, including nuclear bombs, but not only did they fail to stop the monsters, but instead caused a large number of powerful and abnormal birds and beasts to emerge among the monsters, such as the blood demon wolf.
A group of super warriors such as "Hong" and "Thor" also appeared among humans. These strong men saved a large number of people at the critical moment and assisted the army in resisting the monsters.
The war finally ended in March 2021, when humans developed ultra-high frequency laser cannons and killed more than a dozen S-class monsters and two SS-class monsters in succession.
This has led to the current situation of five major countries and twenty-three cities.
The five and a half years from September 2015 to March 9 is called the Great Nirvana Period.
It is now May of 2056, and more than thirty years have passed since the end of the Great Nirvana.
His thoughts were interrupted as his body leaned forward involuntarily. The memory of more than ten years of riding experience made him realize that he had arrived home.
Stepping out of the car and looking at the high-tech villa in front of him, he felt a sigh in his heart.
The life he had always dreamed of in his previous life has now become his daily routine.
Although Xu Jingyi is not a warrior, Xiao Yu's father Xiao Dingguo is a general-level warrior. He joined the Extreme Martial Arts School and was able to obtain the right to live in the Mingyue Community in Yangzhou City.
...
"Xiao Yu, I heard from my aunt that you have been discharged from the hospital. I am coming to see you right away."
A tall, baby-faced girl wearing a black tight training suit rushed into the living room and looked at Xiao Yu, who was slumped on the sofa watching TV. "You look good, don't you?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Xiao Yu was a little speechless. This quirky girl was his sister Xiao Ling. "Sister, just miss me a little bit!"
"I heard that you fainted due to overtraining during martial arts training. Little brother! I'm telling you, don't compare yourself to me, your sister. I'm a genius with a high talent. I passed the martial arts assessment three months ago and became a formal martial artist. There are only a few 18-year-old martial artists in the entire base city."
"Sister, have you been to the wilderness area?" Xiao Yu asked curiously. Although they were cousins, he was facing the college entrance examination after all. The pace of study and martial arts training was tight, especially recently. The college entrance examination was next month and he had no time to pay attention to other things.
Now that his memory has been awakened, he not only has countless combat experiences, but even the accompanying systems are back online. Of course, he can take a break and understand some of the situations after becoming a warrior.
"Of course. After becoming a warrior, I joined the Extreme Martial Arts School. With my father's introduction, I joined a team of warriors composed entirely of women. After a month of training, I began my journey into the wilderness..."
"My uncle just became a God of War last year. The team he introduced sounds pretty good!"
"The name of our team is Steel Rose Team. The captain is Hu Ya, a senior general. She was originally a member of my father's team. Later, for some reason, she formed an independent team composed of women. She will definitely take good care of me!"
Xiao Ling became happier as she spoke. "Our team usually goes out hunting for a month and then rests for a month. We are still on vacation now. I will gather again the day after tomorrow to go out."
"Sister, you must be careful of danger when you go out. Not only those monsters, but also the dangers from other humans."
Xiao Yu understood the dangers of the wilderness, and was even more aware of Luo Feng's situation in the original novel. Although Luo Feng had not yet become a warrior, the Tiger Fang Squad was definitely not the only team that made a fortune by hunting humans, so he reminded them.
"Thank you for your concern, I will pay attention. Speaking of which, I made a lot of money this time, more than 8 million Chinese Yuan. This is the first time I have made so much money by myself!"
Xiao Ling was very happy and patted Xiao Yu on the head twice. He tried to dodge but failed, and the gap in strength widened.
Nowadays, only those who have passed the quasi-warrior assessment on Earth can obtain the genetic energy cultivation method and begin real practice. The gap between them according to their different talents will only become larger and larger, unless they encounter a bottleneck.
