Chapter 6

Date: August 18, 2025.

Time: 11:25 AM.

According to later records, this is the last day of the Dark Age. After midnight, light will return to the earth, but people will also discover that the arrival of light is not accompanied by hope, but by fear and despair.

All wired or wireless information transmission failed the moment "Starry Sky" was activated, and darkness descended. People seemed to have regressed several hundred years, back to the time when information could only be transmitted by word of mouth.

Chen Mu was in his room, sweating profusely, his arms braced on the ground, doing push-ups with all his might.

Exercising is a must. Only a strong and healthy body can be the best guarantee for survival during the chaotic period. Before he gained any abilities, he had to ensure that he had a strong and healthy body.

"145, 146, 147, 148..."

"186, 187, 188, 189... 190!"

Chen Mu's body fell onto the cold floor. For this body that had not been exercised for a long time, being able to do nearly two hundred push-ups in one go within three days was mostly due to the iron-like willpower he had developed in his previous life!

In his previous life, Chen Mu spent the Dark Age in fear and anxiety. After the world regained its light, he spent nearly a month at home before deciding to go in search of xx.

Later, he met the blonde girl, Claire, who had the ability of immortality in "Superhero." After obtaining Claire's ability and experiencing countless dangers, he began to consciously train himself. But by then, he had already taken many detours.

Now, he could start from the beginning and formulate the best plan for himself. The experience and knowledge from his previous life would be his most valuable asset, without a doubt!

After lying on the ground for a few minutes, his body finally recovered some strength. Chen Mu wobbled to his feet and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Although communication had failed, as long as the pipes were not damaged by an earthquake, water and electricity would still be available for the next few months.

He took a refreshing hot shower, then walked to the living room, where a science fiction movie from over a decade ago, "X-Men: Days of Future Past," which was released in 2014, was playing on the TV.

In 2025, most movies were in 3D, so watching a flat movie was quite strenuous and lacked immersion. However, Chen Mu was not watching it for relaxation but to gather information, so he watched it with great focus.

He had already seen all the "X-Men" movies, but to understand the abilities of "Kitty Pryde," the mutant he had killed, he had rewatched them several times.

In the movie, Kitty, as a mutant, had the ability to "phase" through walls, solid objects, and even time. Her ability also extended to "levitation," "power nullification," and "immunity to mental attacks." Even in the future, her superpower was still one of the most powerful.

In "X-Men: Days of Future Past," the mutants were hunted by the "Sentinels," robots created by Bolivar Trask, the founder of "Trask Industries," and faced the threat of extinction.

To change this, the X-Men decided to travel back in time to before Bolivar Trask created the Sentinels and alter history.

Since time travel placed an immense burden on the body, only the "ageless and immortal" mutant Wolverine, Logan, could withstand the journey. With Kitty's help, Logan's consciousness traveled back in time. Despite many obstacles, he ultimately succeeded in changing history.

Chen Mu turned off the TV, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes.

After avenging his sister, he had nothing left to live for. He only acted as a bodyguard for the young lady to repay her for recognizing his talent, fearlessly protecting her from countless dangers and assassination attempts.

At that time, Chen Mu's abilities had reached the level of "immortality," allowing him to heal from any injury at an extremely fast rate. Even so, during the years he protected the young lady, he had four near-death experiences.

Partly due to his abilities, but also because he had nothing left to live for, he sought a form of release by using his body to block those fatal attacks.

After witnessing too many deaths, betrayals, malice, cunning, and treachery, he had long lost hope in the world. His sister's death had torn a huge hole in his soul.

When he learned of the opportunity to travel back in time, he resolutely bet everything he had.

And he won.

The lucky potion was a unique item he obtained before serving the young lady, which could significantly boost his luck for a period after use.

Although he did not have Wolverine's "immortality," he had Claire's "immortality" from "Superhero," which was similar to Logan's ability.

Thus, he succeeded.

In the future, his body had been reduced to nothing, but his consciousness or soul had traveled back to 2025.

It was like being reborn, like a phoenix rising from the ashes!

What excited him most was that in the movie, Logan successfully changed history, indicating that history could indeed be altered!

Therefore, he might also change history and rectify past regrets!

A smile crept onto Chen Mu's lips as he fell asleep. He dreamed sweetly, his smile growing wider.

An hour later, Chen Mu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.

His exhausted body had recovered after a brief rest.

His mind and physical strength were almost at their peak. The sky outside was clear, the darkness had faded, and sunlight shone on every corner of the continent.

Chen Mu took out a large backpack and methodically packed food, medicine, and other necessary items, making full use of every bit of space.

His previous life's experience taught him what was needed and what was not when traveling.

Food, medicine, and weapons were essential.

The world was in chaos, and there were no doctors. A minor cold could be fatal if not careful.

Weapons were essential for survival in the chaos.

Additionally, matches, lighters, compasses, flashlights, first-aid kits, Swiss Army knives, and binoculars were also necessary.

There were many other essential items, but considering his limited funds and the urgency of the situation, Chen Mu did not overly demand perfection.

He had survived without knowing anything before. Now, with prior knowledge and so much preparation, he was already much better off.

Of course, besides these, there was one item that was even more important, almost as valuable as weapons.

That was the USB drive and the small handheld computer.

The handheld computer was solar-powered, so it would never run out of power as long as there was sunlight. The USB drive contained various movies, anime, and TV shows, which were essential for leisure time. Understanding this information, though the benefits were not immediately apparent, was undoubtedly significant.

After organizing everything, Chen Mu put the backpack away, held a crossbow in one hand, and tucked a dagger wrapped in cloth into his waistband, then walked out of the room.
