Chapter 1 The New World After the Big Bang
Once upon a time, an explosion occurred, and time and space were born at the moment of the Big Bang.
Once upon a time, an explosion occurred, and a planet was born after the explosion and began to rotate.
There was once an explosion, and life multiplied after the explosion.
Another explosion occurred later.
……
Chen Wang slowly opened his eyes in a collapsed wooden house.
He felt sore all over, as if he had used up all his strength. There were still pools of blood all around him, and planks and stones were pressing down on him.
On his right wrist was a bracelet resembling shackles, with a gleaming cell phone clipped between the bracelets.
The phone screen already had several cracks, but it still diligently monitored Chen Wang's physical data.
[Viability: 1/100]
[Skill: Sam's Power lv.1]
(In the far west, the legendary deliveryman Sam possesses superhuman abilities, allowing him to drastically increase his physical attributes in a short period of time.)
Next to it is a glowing blue square, representing the number of times the skill can be used.
Chen Wang calmed down and began to observe his surroundings.
It looked as if a huge impact had occurred here; the wooden planks on both sides had been smashed open, as if a small, extremely fast vehicle had crashed sideways and collapsed the area.
He moved the obstacle in front of him, stood up, and dusted off his protective suit.
This is a blue and white checkered protective suit made of a special material that is waterproof and wear-resistant, with the "Bida Logistics" logo printed on the chest.
Chen Wang then realized that he had entered the world of Death Stranding.
Just before he woke up, he had been walking for a long time in an endless gray swamp, which, in retrospect, was particularly similar to the scene of "The Beach" in Death Stranding.
The Beach of the Dead is the transitional zone between the living and the world of the dead, where countless souls linger, reluctant to leave.
But the data panel on the phone and the simple, dilapidated house before me are quite different from the Death Stranding world I had in mind.
He opened the mini bag at his waist, and several plump cryptozoans floated out.
With its pinkish-white body and smiling expression, it is one of the most common tonics on the ground, growing in coral reefs by the roadside, waiting for passersby to pick it.
Chen Wang hesitated for a moment, then grabbed one and put it in his mouth.
A strong, sweet and astringent sensation rushed to my brain. I didn't know if it was because I was hungry, but the taste was unexpectedly good. The cryptophyte burst open in my mouth, and a clear, warm sensation quickly flowed throughout my body.
[Viability: 21/100]
Seeing this, he quickly grabbed the remaining precious insects.
Not far away.
The sound of a motorcycle approached from afar, finally rumbling to a stop near the wooden house.
"Brother, it's just killing someone, why do you have to come back for an autopsy? Haven't you killed plenty of people already?"
Five men wearing goggles hurriedly got off the car, talking as they walked.
"Bullshit! You think you can just run someone over like that?! If you killed some young master from the underground city, you'd pay with your life!"
The man called "Big Brother," with his meticulously groomed goatee, was now furious.
Chen Wang inside the room heard everything clearly. Just as he had thought, his parallel world self had indeed been taken away by a car accident.
He himself happened to travel through time unexpectedly, arriving at the Beach of the Dead, returning to the world of the living and taking over his new body.
So, they came to confirm whether they were celebrities, in order to avoid being killed by wealthy families?
He cautiously surveyed his surroundings, finding nowhere to hide, but the flashing blue light on his phone almost clearly indicated what he should do.
"Don't worry, boss, I only glanced at him when I passed by this house," the henchman with the mohawk quickly added, trying to cover up the incident. "He was wearing a Bida Logistics uniform; he's just a stinky delivery guy! What rich kid would go and deliver packages for fun?"
The mohawk-clad henchman walked to the front of the house, kicked open the rickety wooden door, and pointed to the ruins below. "Big brother, take a good look. I was right..."
When everyone looked into the room, they looked at each other in disbelief. There was no longer the flattened corpse, only a young man who matched the description, standing opposite them and staring at them.
"Alive? Alive?" the Mohican boy exclaimed in surprise.
"Mm," Chen Wangque replied.
"Brother, believe me, I saw him get hit and crushed to death with my own eyes!"
The goatee shoved his panicked underling aside, stared at Chen Wang for a long time, and asked, "What's your name?"
Chen Wang responded calmly, "Your underling bumped into me, and instead of apologizing, he comes to question me?"
Without saying a word, the goatee took his phone off his wrist and snapped a picture of Chen Wang.
The whole process was swift and skillful, causing Chen Wang to frown.
"Hmph," the goatee sneered, looking at the search information on his phone and reading aloud, "Chen Wang, 23 years old, an ordinary resident of Rainbow City in the underground city, parents died early, no relatives, repeatedly made mistakes at school, and the school is unable to supervise him."
"After graduation, I had nothing to do and lived on special resident subsidies in my rented room."
He pointed his phone at Chen Wang, waving it around smugly, "There's not even a record from Bida Logistics, so these clothes must have been stolen too, right?"
The phone screen prominently displayed a black and white photo of Chen Wang, with the words "Underground City Resident Facial Recognition System: For Internal Use Only by the Flying Car Gang" written in the upper left corner.
Listening to the other person describe his own unfortunate fate, Chen Wang remained expressionless, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings, which he could only silently express with a sarcastic remark.
Stop cursing, stop cursing.
"However, the existence of someone like you fully demonstrates that heaven is fair," the goatee's face gradually darkened. "Although you're good for nothing, you're certainly tough; you haven't died even after all this!"
Some of his henchmen pulled out knives from their waists, while others quickly grabbed handy planks from the ground.
"Brother, since he's just a small fry anyway, should we just kill him?"
"Yes, brother, the incinerator is only a few kilometers away. I'll bring it to him. Don't worry!"
Goatbeard nodded and turned to leave the house.
He encounters trash like Chen Wang every now and then.
Nameless, penniless, yet they insist on coming up from the peaceful underground city to die on this chaotic surface.
They're either looking to join a gang or driven by curiosity to check out BT (BitTorrent); there aren't many normal people among them.
Unless you voluntarily join his motorcycle gang, even a legitimate deliveryman will face certain death if he offends you.
"Kid, may you be reborn into a better family next time!"
With a shout, the henchmen charged towards Chen Wang, brandishing their weapons.
The latter was already prepared.
With a sharp "snap," their charge came to an abrupt halt.
The henchman closest to Chen Wang clutched half his face in pain as he was slapped to the ground and fainted on the spot.
The second henchman was clearly taken aback, but since they were already so close, he had no choice but to viciously draw his knife and stab them.
Chen Wang turned around on the spot, reacted quickly, dodging the stabbing attack while simultaneously landing a solid punch on his underling's abdomen.
The unfortunate young man was thrown against the wall by the force of a cannonball, making the already dilapidated wooden wall even worse.
Chen Wang was secretly amazed. He shook his body, his hands still aching slightly from exerting too much force.
This is the power of Sam; his strength, reaction, and speed at this moment surpass those of an ordinary person by several times!
The other henchmen were stunned. They couldn't believe that this kid had such brute strength. They lost their composure, their hands went weak, and they threw down their weapons and prepared to run away.
But how could Chen Wang allow a tiger to return to the mountain?
He took a large stride and caught up with the thugs of the Flying Car Gang. He grabbed two men by the neck with each hand, leaped high into the air, and smashed their faces to the ground.
Within seconds, the house was filled with dead and injured.
Outside, a man with a goatee leaned against his motorcycle, smoking a cigar. Hearing the screams from inside, he also had a bad feeling.
He was about to yell a few times.
The next second, Chen Wang walked out aggressively.
"It's your turn," Chen Wang said calmly, startling Chen Wang so much that he dropped his cigar and goatee.
"You, you're a superhuman?" The goatee's legs went weak, and he plopped down on the ground, completely losing his previous arrogance.
So, is Chen Wang, who possesses skills, actually a person with a special physique?
That makes sense, since in the world of Death Stranding, only humans with the Doomss constitution have the chance to see BTs.
Those with superhuman abilities possess combat power and skills that ordinary people do not have.
Chen Wang did not respond to the goatee. He could clearly feel the [Power of Sam] surging within his body, like firewood under a stove, slowly dying out.
Time was limited, so he had to finish quickly and leave some room for transporting the bodies later.
He grabbed the goatee's upturned ankle as easily as if he were carrying a bag of kitchen waste.
He planned to send him to the Beach by throwing a hammer.
However, the next moment, the goatee pulled out a pistol from behind his back.
"Wouldn't that kill you?!"
With a hysterical roar, the goatee's eyes were bloodshot as he furiously pulled the trigger.
boom!
Gunshots rang out, a solemn silence fell over the surroundings, and then a flock of black birds took flight.
Chen Wang opened his eyes wide, and warm blood gushed out from the hole in his forehead.
He fell into a pool of blood once again.
