BS138 Chapter 1: The chaotic world is full of bitterness

Jinyu stood on the street that was made of an unknown material and lifted his head to look at the chaotic sky, filled with long-winged horses, deer, cow and sheep; huge bats, dragonflies and sparrows; and two-tailed cat and foxes with three to four tails who teleported from one spot to another in an instant, and felt that he was in a dream.

This was a crazy and bitter dream. All of his understanding of the world was shattered. Towering skyscrapers and houses made from grass and mud coexisted. Ancient people wearing long robes followed behind bright and shiny robot men. In the sky, moving screens showed the animal world. Yet, what left him speechless was the heading–

In memory of our former homeland.

"Oh, if I don't wake up in three minutes, I'll have to buy sleeping pills from the ruins tomorrow." As Jinyu spoke, he walked towards a dilapidated wooden house by the side and waited until he had reached the house before he gave himself a savage slap. "Holy shit! That hurt like fuck!!"

Eyes full of tears, Jinyu jumped up swiftly and fiercely rubbed his face and then, under the gazes of people standing by the side who were wearing clothes that ranged from the Stone Age to the punk world, he rushed away, looking rather pathetic. As he was leaving, he heard a burst of discussion: "Tch, another demi-human who couldn't find a job and can't accept reality!"

"Ai... this is the tenth one I've seen today. Tsk tsk, actually, demi-humans can be servants of the aristocracy, don't they know how to be grateful?"

"Forget it, forget it, there aren't many demi-humans left now, anyway. And they're demi-human. When there's even less demi-humans, they'll have to go into the conservation district."

Demi-humans? Conservation district? Aristocrats? Servants?!

These phrases echoed in Jinyu's brain. He squatted at the corner and faced the wall so he wouldn't 't be noticed. Although, at this moment, Jinyu was still very convinced he was dreaming, those few phrases from earlier dug deep into his heart and unearthed a bad feeling.

"No no no..... Even if the end of the world had happened and volcanoes erupted, there were earthquakes and floods one after another, yours truly and my pets would still be living tenaciously. The earth hasn't been destroyed. How the fuck did I suddenly traverse time and space?"

At this, Jinyu suddenly lowered his head and looked at his chest. There was a blue gemstone in a half circular shape around his neck. But what made his pupils shrink was that although the stone was unchanged, its color was no longer as pure as the blue sky and the deep sea. Within that blue, there were strands of jade green.

".....This is a joke, right?" Jinyu was silent for a long time before he managed to open his mouth. And then he used his other hand to give the other untouched side of his face a slap before he suddenly sat down in the dirt.

Wearing a slightly bitter smile as he looked around him, Jinyu's feelings were as chaotic as the environment. This world was obviously not his world. His world was riddled with scars and it had almost reached the end but, in his time, there were no flying horses and cows, no bats and dragonflies that were bigger than people, and it definitely didn't have that blue sky and steady earth.

A small planet had collided with Earth and brought disasters that were severe enough to destroy the world. In five days, ninety percent of humans, who were previously the self-proclaimed lords and kings, had been wiped out, leaving behind those who were desperately fleeing and hoping earnestly to struggle on whilst at death's door.

Jinyu was one of those people who had survived. Because of a special family heredity trait, he could understand beast language. He could even communicate with and use his mental powers to control small animals. Maybe it was a silver lining, but because of the apocalyptic disasters, his mental energy tore apart his mind for an entire day and after he woke up, the horror had already increased tenfold.
