C1 Awakening

This place was dark, damp, and narrow. It could not be called a residence, much less a "home"!

In this small space, there were no unnecessary furniture. The only thing that existed was a tattered bed.

A bed made of stone and wood. Sleeping on it wasn't comfortable at all.

At this moment, a thin and frail figure was curled up on the bed. If it wasn't for the slight rise and fall of his body, an outsider would have thought that the body lying on the bed was just a mummified corpse.

He was still alive!

Although he was now no different from a dead person, he could still breathe and his heart was still beating fast. This was enough to prove that he was still alive.

His eyelids slightly moved. He, who was curled up into a ball in the darkness, opened his eyes. His eyes were no longer as dead as before. They were no longer filled with confusion, but instead were bright and full of spirit.

He moved. His body moved. His movements were very stiff. One of his hands supported the wooden board as he struggled to sit up.

Spreading his hands, he stared blankly at the pair of hands that were as thin as firewood. His expression seemed very shocked.

"Data transfer complete!" Welcome back! "Master!"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

The voice was a bit mechanical, but at the same time, it was also pleasing to the ear. Perhaps to a man, a woman's voice would not be any worse than his or her own.

Although it was not a male or female one.

With regards to its existence, the thin and frail youth was only slightly stunned for a moment before returning to normal, as if he was already used to its existence.

What was going on?

Lee Meng frowned.

The memories in his mind seemed to clash with each other. On one side was the memories of Lee Meng's other world. In that world, Lee Meng had a beautiful life, a family, and everything that was best in his life.

The other memory was much more tragic, just like this world.

An unknown virus invaded the human world. It was unknown, but it was also very fierce. All the infected humans would turn into bloodthirsty zombie-like existences within a few breaths of time.

Those who were infected would instinctively attack others, and those who were attacked, bitten, and touched their blood would turn into the same existence within a few breaths.

The unknown virus spread faster than anyone could imagine. Governments wanted to stop it, so they did the same thing. However, the result of their failure was unstoppable.

Humans had lost their cities, their homes, and they were forced to flee to regions where there were few signs of life.

As the overlord of Earth for thousands of years, humans were not willing to accept defeat and had to selfishly open the "Gates of Hell".

A nuclear war broke out!

This was a war between humans and unknown viruses. In order to achieve victory, mankind had used all the means at their disposal.

However, the result of the nuclear war did not allow the human race to achieve victory. Although there were less than one person infected in the city, the world that had been bombed by the nuclear bomb had undergone an unendurable change.

After experiencing countless dark winters, only then did humans realize that they had too much faith in Earth's self-recovery abilities.

The toughness of the radiation was beyond everyone's imagination. It did not disappear with time, but instead became stronger and stronger.

It was only when the air was filled with radioactive contaminants that the humans realized they were wrong.

Twenty years ago, another him had landed in this world. From the moment he landed, he had been unfortunate. In this era where humans ate humans, survival of the fittest was the law of the jungle.

From the moment they came out of the womb, their parents had already discovered that the child was too weak. As normal people, they were unable to raise a weak child, so the him in this world had been abandoned at an unknown age.

Being ruthlessly abandoned in a dark corner, when he was about to starve to death, the little Lee Meng welcomed his first turning point in life.

An old man in the evening had adopted him. The old man didn't have a name, so everyone who thought he was was called Old Li!

Just like that, the little Lee Meng was living under Old Li's wing. Although it was hard to survive, it was normal to get frozen and starve, but at least he could live.

Until ten years ago, in the night, Old Li passed away silently. For Lee Meng, who was only ten years old, losing someone to rely on was a disaster.

Fortunately, Lee Meng was very resilient, and he could survive even if he only relied on himself. Although it was hard to survive and it was common for him to get hungry and freeze, at least he was still alive.

However, Lee Meng had lost his job as a laborer following a serious illness. Although that job wasn't safe, he could at least get a warm meal by following a hunting team and not have to endure the pain of hunger.

Having lost this important job, Lee Meng's outcome was obvious. With hunger and sickness, he had been lying alone on the broken bed for almost half a month. Lee Meng had already used up all the energy in his body.

It was a miracle that he was still alive.

Now everything was going to change!

Feeling the emptiness of his body, the feeling of not being able to exert even the slightest bit of strength was not pleasant.

"Master!" You must replenish the necessary nutrients. The weakness of all of your body's functions has exceeded the level of a Sentinel! For your safety, I recommend that you implement the body recovery plan! "

Lee Meng knew what it was worried about. In the memories of that other world, Lee Meng was very familiar with "it".

Ever since he was informed, "it" had appeared in Lee Meng's life. Lee Meng had been curious about the existence of "it" before, and he had his doubts, but in the end, Lee Meng didn't get what he wanted to know.

The only thing Lee Meng knew was that "it" was the main brain. It was a closed off area, and somewhere in it, a main brain called "Red Police Empire Base" could be said to be the manager.

Lee Meng remembered that "it" said that when the time came, it would help. At the same time, Lee Meng had to bear the corresponding responsibility.

There was no doubt that the time had come for it to speak.

"Master!" You don't need to think too much. Although you have two different lives and memories, the current you is the real you here. Memories from the past can only be forgotten by Master, those memories won't help you in any way! "

Lee Meng was not angry, but he was already used to it.

In the other world, it knew everything. No matter what it was thinking, or the secrets of the international world, no matter what major event occurred in the world, it would know at the first possible moment. It could even predict.

"I understand!"

A slightly hoarse voice came out of Lee Meng's mouth. His thin and weak body and poor nutrition had affected all of his body's functions.

Lee Meng left the bed with great difficulty like an old man in the evening. Following the memory in his mind, he staggered to a corner of the wall. There was a big crack on the wall.

Lee Meng reached out his bony right hand and put it inside. When he pulled his hand back, there was a cloth bag made of old, worn out grey cloth.

The bag was not big, it could fit two fist-sized things inside. The bag in Lee Meng's hand was bulging, and there seemed to be a lot of stuff inside.

Lee Meng, who had the memory, knew what was inside. It was the accumulated savings from working for the hunting team since he was ten years old.

Since the world was flooded with contaminated material, all life on Earth, including humanity itself, has changed.

In order to survive, in order to reproduce races, stimulated by radioactive contaminants, all living things on Earth began to stimulate their potential to evolve, allowing them to adapt to this post-mutation world.

In the course of time, many species have failed, and the race has died in a world of pollution.

In the end, only two types of life forms succeeded. One of them was the 'human' who was once the overlord of Earth. Although they were extremely weak, they possessed technology, intelligence and the potential to become strong.

The second type was once the weakest species. Although they were weak, they possessed an extremely powerful life force. Although they possessed a huge number of species, their limits allowed them to be at the bottom of the biological chain.

However, the insects' ability to adapt to the environment has allowed them to evolve in an environment full of radioactive contaminants in reverse.

They broke through the shackles of the gene chain, becoming incomparably large and aggressive. The insects' nature made them like to kill. During the evolution of change, they hunted down creatures other than themselves.

Compared to humans, insects had evolved much more thoroughly. Humans who were once huge in the eyes of bugs were now completely inverted. Humans were no longer scary, and insects were no longer at a disadvantage.

Nowadays, humans were nothing but nutritious food in the eyes of the insects. In the eyes of humans, the insects had long since lost their characteristic as insects, because humans had renamed them.

"Pollution Beast!"

This was a synonym for terror. It was an existence that caused humans to live within terror at all times.

In order to survive, in order to avoid the attacks of the Pollution Beast, humans could only move nonstop, or build tall and sturdy fortresses, because if they stayed in one place for too long, the Pollution Beast would be able to find their target.

Their noses were very sensitive and they could smell the scent of humans tens of kilometers away from the wind. If their bodies were in urgent need of nutrition, once they were locked on, the possibility of humans escaping would be unlimited.

Even if it was an ordinary young Pollution Beast, a human with a gun wouldn't be able to deal with such a huge monster.

The harsh environment allowed them to grow thick carapaces that were strong enough to protect them. The hard carapaces allowed them to resist most of the human weapons.

But to a human who had lost his industrial ability, hunting down Pollution Beast was so powerless, and bullets seemed so precious at every moment.

Of course, Lee Meng wasn't that rich. Bullets were a very precious kind of money. If he had such a big bag of bullets, Lee Meng wouldn't be living such a miserable life.

It was nothing but hundreds of bullet shells. Although the bullet shells weren't worth much, they were still a cheap source of gold, enough for Lee Meng to eat and drink to his heart's content.

However, Lee Meng's goal was not to eat or drink.
