Chapter 6, Second Crossing

He certainly does not want to be captured just because he stands out in a crowd shortly after arriving. Regardless, the outfit he is currently wearing is rather too conspicuous in that world over there

However, this should not be the case; there is no reason for everything to be able to return, and it should only be a problem when one comes over by themselves. Perhaps it is because those items that were sent over have not completely severed their connections, and there are still entanglements with self-raising rods or ropes

With the absence of obvious burdens, Mo Chen's movements became much lighter, and he quickly climbed down along the massive iron pipe behind the house

Although living alone, everything regarding hygiene and cleanliness is managed in an orderly manner—only during the first two days after Mo Chen had just crossed over was there a mess found—and unlike many careless single men, all necessary preparations have been made.

He took a few rapid breaths, then carefully placed his hands on the ground to steady himself again

Under normal circumstances, no one would come here. Moreover, if someone were to actually arrive, one would have to worry whether they inadvertently stumbled upon the hidden portal.

During this period, the various safety experiments conducted by Mo Chen have finally come to a close

It seems that this can also explain why the striking blue light membrane was opened here, yet has never been discovered by anyone

Below is a spacious street, but it is impossible to simply jump down directly. Therefore, preparations are made to move to the alley behind. This not only allows for concealing one's actions, but also there are enormous dark iron pipes that can be used for climbing.

Place a medical kit, as it would be better to divert their attention to the other side

There was no special sensation; if there was indeed a feeling of having passed through a layer of something, it was mostly just a psychological illusion. Mo Chen suddenly felt a void beneath his feet, nearly twisting his ankle, and he stumbled unsteadily.

Therefore, one must find a place to settle down completely while avoiding the gaze of the crowd... With this thought in mind, Mo Chen did not stand up straight; instead, he leaned down.

Once again setting off towards another world, Mo Chen is currently moving cautiously with a medical kit on the rooftop

Carefully observing the changes in the five potted plants used for biological experiments and recording the general situation, Mo Chen then looked towards the other side of the ground

Even the refrigerator is stocked with various ingredients

Unfortunately, Mo Chen, who traveled through time, was unable to inherit any culinary skills from his predecessor and could only make do with a meager existence

Suddenly, there was a leap in my heart, for the blue light membrane did not exist; behind me was nothing but emptiness, devoid of anything.

This should be considered the best choice

At that time, there were no casualties.

Therefore, in the absence of knowledge regarding how much longer it will take to fully restore the former order and structure, Mo Chen also does not intend to continue delaying the matter

If a gunshot were to come directly at me, that would be quite unfortunate

He cautiously looked around, then thought for a moment and instinctively turned his head to look behind him

In that brief moment, Mo Chen felt a wave of dizziness, nearly losing his balance

It felt as if he had suddenly stepped from his quiet room into a bustling city street, and in that moment, Mo Chen felt a mix of joy and apprehension.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the bustling urban area he had seen countless times through video over the past half month appeared around him

He set down the ballpoint pen in his hand, and after hesitating for quite a while, he finally exhaled forcefully, then stood up and walked to the side of his bed

Mo Chen stood in a secluded and dim alley, raised his head to glance at the place he had just descended from, and then let out a long breath. He feigned calmness as he walked out of the shadows of the alley and onto the main street

Calming down, Mo Chen took the opportunity to check the items he was carrying once again. Aside from his mobile phone, he couldn't bring too many things. For safety reasons, he had indeed brought along both pepper spray and a stun gun.

Mo Chen felt a sense of relief in his heart, and then he deliberately turned back once more. Only after successfully returning to his own room did he completely relax.

... ...

Generally speaking, it should be a system for delivering tap water or for sewage disposal, right

He smirked and, after a moment of thought, decided to take down the box and place it on the roof. After all, the "door" was right here, and he would inevitably return to this place; there was no way to avoid it.

Succeeded

... ...

However, having reached this point, Mo Chen felt that it was already sufficient. As he often said, he never harbored the expectation that with the conditions at hand, he could achieve comprehensive and absolute safety.

Mo Chen let out a slight sigh of relief, then quickly turned around, remembering the location of the alley she had just exited, while also noting the features of her surroundings. This was to facilitate her return later, so as not to lose her way back in a state of confusion.

Well, it seems that there have been some miscalculations

Then, it is the final step...

Record of Day 15: There are no significant damages or abnormalities observed in the potted plants from the 1st to the 5th, and the animals are also ... ...

During this process, he is also quickly integrating into this world, adapting to a completely new identity

Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes

Mo Chen previously bound their feet with ropes, while also sealing their mouths, and then sent them to the world over there—after half an hour, he would pull them back.

However, it is not the best choice, and there is nothing that can be done. Although the best approach would be to have custom-made attire, given the current situation, it is already quite good to find something usable on short notice. If we were to have it custom-made... who knows how long it would take?

This is not the first time I have crossed over, but compared to the previous instance that occurred without any warning or preparation, this self-initiated and self-directed crossing is truly an exhilarating experience

There is a set of Victorian-style men's clothing, including a black coat, trousers, and a white shirt

Especially recently, apocalyptic theories have gained significant traction, causing many people to be deeply concerned. Not to mention conducting business, there are quite a few who have simply closed their doors and are planning to enjoy the "remaining life".

Although this outfit cannot be completely identical, it at least bears a strong resemblance to the style of that world, and an ordinary person should not easily detect any flaws

And now, a full two weeks have passed, and they continue to thrive remarkably well, showing no signs of any abnormalities or mutations

This is also one of Mo Chen's preparations

Although it is said that as long as the head does not hit the ground first, then even jumping down from this height would not pose too great a danger

Mo Chen's movements were not particularly agile, after all, he had never done such a thing before. Even though he had some experience sneaking out to go online during middle school, that was many years ago.

The pitch-black iron pipes are unknown in their purpose, yet they are ubiquitous throughout the city, erected and interconnected between various buildings

The world is gradually returning to normal. Although the significant impact caused by the celestial incident cannot be completely eliminated in a short period, it is even foreseeable that this matter will likely still be a hot news topic six months from now

This is the set of clothing that Mo Chen has continuously filmed videos, compared, and verified over the past half month, ultimately choosing the style that is closest to his vision. It cannot be described as aristocratic, but it is also not the type of canvas clothing worn by dockworkers

He was already satisfied as long as safety could be basically confirmed, regarding any potential hidden dangers or the like

At the beginning, Mo Chen found it quite difficult even to buy a few poultry. Recently, the government has been busy either debunking rumors or, one might say, spreading them, to the point of being overwhelmed.

He tucked his phone into his pocket, checked once more, and then ran around the room up and down. After confirming that all the doors and windows were securely closed and locked, he finally returned to the front of the light film.

However, after recalling the location of the portal's opening in the opposite world, as well as the height from the rooftop to the ground, Mo Chen hesitated for a moment and then rummaged through the house, finding a medical kit to take with him

Approximately half a month has passed just like that

At the same moment, a certain lively commotion surged towards me from the front

It is likely the attire of individuals working in an office or professionals, characterized by a level that is neither particularly outstanding nor lacking, which does not draw excessive attention and does not make them targets for extortion by certain soldiers or thugs

Mo Chen was reluctant to acknowledge this possibility. After thinking for a moment, he cautiously extended his hand forward to feel.

... ...

... ...

It is always better to be prepared than to be caught unprepared; safety is truly the top priority. Concerns about losing face are not what Mo Chen is considering at this moment

Now carrying a medical kit has made it even more cumbersome

Mo Chen tilted his head slightly and looked at the blue light membrane located in the center of the room. It remained stable and unchanged, seemingly capable of lasting forever.

There are several glass-sealed cages placed there, containing poultry, including both chickens and ducks

No one noticed, whether it was the pedestrians on the street or the soldiers

... ...

Somewhat clumsily, he put on his clothes, casually moved his arms a few times, and walked back and forth a few steps. Mo Chen felt a bit uncomfortable, likely due to the size not being a perfect fit, but it did not hinder his movements

Although I do not know the memories of my past, it seems that I am not an unkempt recluse either

His palm vanished into the air, and the originally empty air began to ripple like the surface of water, creating some transparent waves that could only be seen clearly when one was close enough to them

It has been proven that when a person is fully focused on doing something, the mundane daily routine becomes exceptionally fulfilling, and time passes quickly as a result

Do not give yourself any opportunity to overthink or indulge in distractions, but rather make a firm decision and then take a step forward with determination

He certainly knows this, but reality is reality; without conditions, there are no conditions. There is really nothing more to say about it

Although the initial impression is that of the roaring industrial age of the steam engine, the aerial tramway also signifies that the development of this city is not entirely ignorant and backward; in certain aspects, it has already reached a level of advancement.

Stay calm, stay calm. Such experiences will not be uncommon in the future. I must remain more composed...

However, Mo Chen had no intention of taking any risks. Moreover, for the soldiers patrolling the streets, sneaking onto someone else's roof would certainly make him a suspicious character.

Although theoretically speaking, this still cannot be considered absolutely safe

However, if the injury was caused by carrying the medical kit, how should this situation be assessed

Chickens are still chickens, ducks are still ducks, just like the potted plants from the past, there has been no trend of evolution or mutation, and they have not transformed into tyrannical aberrant feeders or anything of the sort

Moreover, this is not Earth, so it is quite normal for many common understandings to be inapplicable here

The street below, the distant dock, the stone-paved avenue, and the towering buildings, along with the overhead rail and trams roaring through the city sky... It feels as if I have traversed time and space, stepping into a Victorian-era painting.

As for whether it is possible for someone to discover anything, there is indeed no issue with that

Thus, he suddenly thought of a question: his original intention of bringing the medical kit was not to impersonate a doctor, but merely as a precaution. If he were to accidentally get injured, at least he would have some insurance

He appeared, as expected, on the roof of a certain building, at least four meters above the street below
