The sound of a noisy alarm clock rang out: "Ding ling ling, ding ling ling."
Chuhan suddenly opened his eyes and looked around vigilantly! The five years of life in the post-apocalyptic world had made him more alert than a special forces soldier.
However, what met his eyes was a spacious room. Although it wasn't clean and tidy, it was definitely not as dirty and messy as the post-apocalyptic world, and it had a strange sense of familiarity.
"Strange, wasn't I killed by the Dragon Emperor who had just evolved into a tenth-stage Beast Emperor, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon? Why am I here? Did someone save me?" Chuhan vaguely remembered the scene where the Five-Clawed Dragon Emperor pierced his heart.
Suddenly recalling the scene before his death, Chuhan was stunned. He remembered the scenes of his brothers and sisters being brutally killed one by one!
"Ha ha ha ha, Shi Wuhuang, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, you wait! I, Chuhan, will one day take your heads to honor my brothers and sisters!" Chuhan let out a manic laugh and growled softly.
However, at this moment, Chuhan was stunned again. He suddenly saw his hands. Were these still his hands? They were slender, delicate, and clean, with no calluses from holding a sword.
Slowly, Chuhan sat up and walked to the mirror in the room. In the mirror, a young man appeared, about 1.8 meters tall. His hair was messy, his beard unshaven, and his handsome face was filled with fatigue and sorrow, as if he had just gone through something heartbreaking.
This seemed to be himself before the great disaster?
Chuhan thought to himself and then turned to look at the clock on the wall. The digital clock clearly read: April 10, 2030, 11:28 AM.
Suddenly, memories of the past flooded his mind, and Chuhan remembered.
Chuhan, male, 24 years old, had been working for two years and had just bought a house in the first-tier city of Z City this year, paying a monthly mortgage. Yesterday, while out, Chuhan unexpectedly found his girlfriend of three years snuggling in the arms of a rich and handsome man. Heartbroken and depressed, Chuhan rushed over to confront her, but the result was obvious: he was humiliated to the point of being utterly defeated. He then returned home, drank to drown his sorrows, and slept until now.
But, could the five years of post-apocalyptic experience be just a dream? Or had he really been reborn five years ago? Was it like Zhuangzi dreaming of being a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of being Zhuangzi?
Chuhan was confused!
Right, Chuhan remembered. If today was really the day before the so-called great disaster, then there should be a viral post on the internet. An unknown netizen had apparently taken a series of amazing pictures, showing the aircraft carriers and helicopters of several major countries in the world. It was said that a network expert had hacked into a satellite and taken these pictures. If this post really existed, then he probably wasn't dreaming but had really been reborn.
Thinking of this, Chuhan quickly turned on his computer and entered the forum. Sure enough, the forum had already pinned a viral post at the top.
"Four Major Military Groups Gather in the Pacific, Intending to Redivide the World"
Opening it, just as Chuhan remembered, several high-definition photos showed massive aircraft carriers and the latest helicopters circling in the sky.
"Ha ha ha ha, Shi Wuhuang, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, you wait! In this life, I won't let you have any chance to rise again. In this life, I will stand at the pinnacle of the world, and humans, zombies, and mutated beasts will all kneel at my feet!"
Seeing that he had really been reborn, Chuhan shouted arrogantly in his heart. In this life, his brothers would not be bullied by anyone, and their fate would be in his hands!
However, the most important thing now was to prepare!
First, he needed to make some calls. Chuhan called his parents in Y City first. Fortunately, Chuhan remembered it was the weekend, so his parents were not working. After a short while, the call was answered by his mother.
Hearing his mother's voice suddenly, Chuhan's throat choked up. In the previous life, Chuhan had not caught the Evolution Rain before the great disaster and could only mix with the government rescue forces, aimlessly walking to the city. He then accidentally activated his evolution gene and slowly became a strong person. By the time he had the power to find his parents, they were already nowhere to be found.
"Hello, Xiaohan, why aren't you speaking?" On the other end of the phone, his mother's kind voice came, waking up the tearful Chuhan.
Hearing his mother's question, Chuhan calmed down and began to tell the lie he had prepared. It was something about borrowing high-interest loans from Xiaofeng and being driven to a dead end, planning to return home to seek refuge, asking his mother to buy more food and drinks today, and to stay at home with his father for the next few days without going out. Although his mother had many doubts, she couldn't resist Chuhan's persistent persuasion and the sad lie he had concocted, and finally agreed. At the end, Chuhan repeatedly instructed his mother to listen to him, and only after she repeatedly agreed did he hang up the phone.
"I hope Mother will really listen to me!" Chuhan thought to himself.
Then, Chuhan made another call, this time to
