Chapter 1, Begin

Next

When a screw falls out, it is simply replaced with a new one; the water and electricity company will have to hire someone again. After the neighbors gossip for a while about the disappearance of Zhang Min, they will likely forget about this inconspicuous individual. He comes quietly and leaves quietly; only Zhang Min's parents and siblings may remember him on this day each year, reflecting on this person who was always lost in his wild thoughts.

Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Zhongyi, and you can call me Brother Yi or Ayi. The person next to me is Zhao Tian

Huang Mao looked at Zhao Tian and Zhang Zhongyi, his face filled with resentment.

After the introductions were completed, both newcomers and old members found a bed, then lay down in silence, waiting for the task to begin

Ding...! With a crisp sound, an emotionless voice echoed in my ears, "Mission: Follow Major Daqi, do not stray more than one kilometer from Major Daqi, otherwise, termination!"

Let me talk about the matter of reward points. My comrades and I affectionately refer to them as electronic gold coins! Of course, there are also more advanced side quests, which we call checks. It is important to know that side quests are almost priceless. Do you want to become a superhero? Do you wish to traverse the heavens and the earth like the legendary immortals?

My name is Jiang Yuming, the Director of the Land Bureau of XX City. My specialty is in documentation, and I have also served in the military and am skilled in the use of weapons

Of course, as long as you have enough checks and coins, you can obtain it from the highest executive, also known as the Supreme God

Before the chubby man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Tian

Zhang Min is an ordinary young man, living a life that could not be more mundane. Day after day, he engages in the repetitive routine of commuting between the hydropower company and his small home. He has no girlfriend, no prospects, and for over twenty years, he has spent every Valentine's Day alone. Each month, his salary allows him to cover his meals and save a little for a future wife.

Zhang Min, being nearly thirty, is well aware of the principle that the bird that sticks its head out gets shot. Therefore, he is not in a hurry; he needs time to acclimate to his surroundings. He slowly moves to a spot at the foot of a bed, from where a quick roll could allow him to escape the camp. Once he has taken the initiative, he scans all the strangers with a curious gaze, observing the various details about them.

When his gaze fell upon a young thug with a face full of disdain, dyed yellow hair, and tattooed arms, Zhang Min frowned! He realized that if such a person had also been kidnapped, then what he had encountered could not possibly be a kidnapping! What other explanation could there be for waking up in an unfamiliar place?

Of course, Zhang Min also glanced with the corner of his eye at the two unfamiliar young people who were quietly talking beside him

Two unfamiliar young men, dressed in different outfits, stood before him; however, the weapons in their hands (M16) appeared to be authentic American-made. On the ground lay several other unfamiliar individuals.

Zhang Min slowly regained consciousness after an unknown period of time. He then vigorously patted his increasingly heavy head, feeling as if he had been struck on the head with a brick. His mind was now in a fog.

Ignoring the sullen expression of the little thug, Zhang Zhongyi merely smiled faintly, as if what had just occurred was quite ordinary. However, Zhang Min still perceived a chilling intent to kill in that subtle smile.

He pointed the gun at Zhang Min, who was sitting calmly beside him

Zhao Tian and Zhang Zhongyi exchanged glances after Zhang Min's introduction, then calmly said: "Next!"

"Where is this place? Who are you? Why am I here?" A stranger, upon waking, posed these questions as he observed the unfamiliar surroundings.

Certainly, once you all successfully escape, what awaits you will be a paradise-like resting space. You will have ten days to rest and spend. If it were me, I would use that time to prepare for the next film escape.

Involving some forms of fortune-telling techniques (similar to those deceptive fortune-tellers found on the streets), Zhang Min looked at this young man and noticed that his forehead was dark, his face showed signs of suffering, and he had a deeply ingrained expression of disgust, resembling a person destined for misfortune and an early demise. He looked like a piece of scrap paper among cannon fodder, the kind that would easily turn to ash. There was also a gluttonous official with a greasy face and a corpulent body, a person who appeared to be a laborer, another who seemed to be a student, and a woman, making a total of six people including himself.

Cannon fodder is just cannon fodder, and the reaction of the little thug was exactly as Zhang Min had thought. With a face full of arrogance, he shouted, "Which path are you on, you bastards? State your names..." However, he was unexpectedly met with cold glares from the two individuals.

Earlier, I mentioned that we have entered the world of a film, specifically the movie "Predator 1." This involves a special forces team, led by the character played by the governor, who is tasked with rescuing a military pilot from beyond the border. However, they encounter a strange extraterrestrial creature in the jungles of Mexico, resulting in the annihilation of the team, with the exception of the governor. As for other basic information, it is already in your minds, and I do not wish to elaborate further. They encounter a strange extraterrestrial creature in the jungles of Mexico, resulting in the annihilation of the team, with the exception of the governor. As for other basic information, it is already in your minds, and I do not wish to elaborate further.

Seeing two people draw their guns, the middle-aged fat man, resembling a corrupt official and covered in excess flesh, clearly had not yet realized the gravity of his situation. He appeared quite confident as he furiously exclaimed: "You dare to kidnap me? Do you know who I am? ... ... !"

Zhang Min looked at the two people in front of him without speaking, as he felt that he would obtain the answers he desired once the person lying on the ground regained consciousness

With a crisp sound, the flying knife that had severed the fingers of the small mixed-blood figure seemed to strike an invisible force field, shattering into pieces and falling to the ground

Well, if the current situation is really as those two people say, it seems that going solo is a longer-lasting option

Zhang Min, feeling frustrated, thought to himself whether his calm demeanor was a bit too much of an act; it seemed that pretending to be composed had indeed backfired on him.

"Trash!" Zhang Min's mind came up with such an adjective! "I don't know what kind of new virus or Trojan this is that this person is spreading! Spending too much time at the starting point has made my brain dull!"

What do you want to do? Let me tell you, I am with Brother Kun...! The two people across from him showed a look of disgust, and then they drew their weapons, holding them in their hands. The intimidation of a single handgun is clearly more powerful than a thousand meaningless words

Now, let us discuss the current situation. First: the place we are in is a world filled with dangers, where everyone must exert their utmost strength and continuously evade these threats

However, he has a peculiar notion that he seems to, as if, already know the answer! Being in the movie "Predator" feels as though a memory has been forcibly implanted in his mind, creating a sensation that is very false and unreal

Zhang Min leaned against the corner of the wall, continuously observing his surroundings. When faced with problems, he habitually engaged in independent thought: "How did I end up in a U.S. military camp? I have no money, no skills, and I am completely without any utilitarian value. No one would ever kidnap me. I only remember pressing the confirmation button at the end, and then I lost all awareness. The entire situation feels quite strange."

Friend, hasn't anyone ever told you that interrupting others is very impolite? And that disgusting, pockmarked face of yours is just so irritating to look at. Also, when I haven't finished speaking, if any of you meddle again, I will directly turn you into a stick and feed you to the dogs. The other party spoke these cruel words in a refined tone, as if everything should be this way, while continuously fiddling with a throwing knife that he had somehow produced from nowhere.

Before long, Zhang Min's gaze was drawn to the yellow photographs on the opposite wall: Golden Tabby, Black Pearl, Snow White, and Ocean Legs. The viewers were captivated, and Zhang Min maliciously thought to himself: "These molds (American troops) have quite good taste! Much better than the foreign images I have collected on my computer!"

After Zhang Zhongyi spoke, he nodded to Zhao Tian. Zhao Tian took out a spray-like medication from his backpack, then walked over to the small thug and kicked him to the ground. He then seized the thug's injured hand and forcefully treated the injury on his left hand with the spray medication. Zhao Tian released his grip and returned to his original position without looking back, coldly observing the newcomer across from him

Everyone could clearly sense the murderous aura directed at them, and of course, Zhang Min also found it strange that such a legendary thing as a murderous aura truly existed in the world

As he gradually regained consciousness, he calmly looked around and discovered that he was in a place that was clearly a military camp. Judging by the surrounding layout, it was evidently an American-style military camp. The camp was plastered with various yellow images, remnants of marijuana, cigarette butts, playing cards, cola bottles, beer bottles, and instant food cans scattered everywhere. No other country's military camp could possibly be as dilapidated as this one, except for an American military camp

No fat person can be relied upon (the officials in China are all deceitful), and the young girl who is clearly a burden, hiding behind the fat person, cannot be overlooked; however, one cannot help but admire her for being able to find the largest shelter here so quickly

What is that? A spray that stops bleeding instantly. It seems to be a powerful biological cell that continuously reproduces upon contact with oxygen, then replaces and merges with the cells near the wound to achieve rapid healing of injuries on the body. Is this the latest model of a biomedical agent?

On April 3, 2008, he spent another dull day, returning to his computer at home and staring blankly for a while. The constant physical labor left him feeling almost hopeless about life. He wanted to learn everything, to experience everything, and to try various ways of living, but the harshness of reality had already drained him of his energy.

My name is Guan Zhizhong, I am a laborer, I can drive a tractor, and I am skilled in cement work

Today, a strange message arrived on Zhang Min's computer that left one perplexed: "Do you feel helpless about life? Do you want to know the true meaning of existence?"

These mismatched individuals have gathered together, and what about those two who are conversing? What exactly are they performing?

My name is Tang Tian, a plumber, a military enthusiast, a science fiction fan, knowledgeable in wilderness survival, specialized in electronic repair, and proficient in computers Zhang Min was the first to respond, saying that it is better to speak early than late, the sooner you say it, the sooner it gets done, but Zhang Min still told a lie and used a fake name! ... The reason? ... ... ... If what they said is true, then ... "Death Note" ... ... and then sat harmlessly beside.

The pressure is high! Therefore, we all have a bit of a temper. However, as you get to know us better, you will find that we are actually very friendly individuals. As your seniors, I simply hope that everyone can show me a little bit of respect, as that would make our interactions much more pleasant for all of us. "Zhang Zhongyi, with a quick change of demeanor, kindly introduced himself to everyone.

Perhaps out of a mischievous mindset, Zhang Min intended to isolate and save this new type of malicious program with a firewall, thinking it might come in handy someday, or perhaps to play tricks on others, which would certainly bring him a lot of amusement. Thus, Zhang Min, almost unconsciously, pressed the Enter key on the keyboard, and a blinding light shot out from the display, pulling him away.

A silver light shot out from the hand of the person speaking! "Ah..." A scream echoed as the little finger of the thug's left hand was completely severed!

Zhang Minxin's motto is: It is better to believe that something exists than to believe that it does not! Existence is reasonable!

Is this the task? Look at your watches, gentlemen, our identities may be closely tied to Major Dachi! Damn it, one moment we are in heaven and the next in hell! Gentlemen, I truly apologize, but I cannot save you. Once you enter this world, there is no other way but to save yourself, unless you become very strong, extremely strong; otherwise, all that remains is death

One of the two young men pointed a Desert Eagle pistol at the crowd, gesturing repeatedly. The crowd shrank back, pushing each other forward, and then the young man with the gun coldly said to everyone: "When I haven't told you to speak, keep your mouths shut, just like him!"

Second: This is a world from a movie, "Predator 1." I wonder if you have all seen it, but unfortunately, we are currently here and must face the pursuit of an alien armed with high-tech weapons! ... Perhaps some of you may find it hard to believe, but ...

Zhang Zhongyi said: "Alright, novices, we don't have much time left. Now I will briefly explain the current situation. Please hold your questions until I finish my introduction, otherwise Brother Yi will be very angry, and the consequences will be severe"

A small individual has navigated through society and is nearing the age of 30, thus accumulating considerable social experience; having endured hardships and faced criticism, they have at least learned the language of the world, speaking appropriately to people and to spirits alike. With the vernacular of the streets, they fear nothing as they traverse the world. Having weathered many storms, they have come to terms with many matters, their psychological resilience no longer naive, to put it plainly, they have become somewhat jaded.

Without a high education, without social connections, afraid of being suppressed while robbing a bank, and forming cliques... Forget it. At our age, apart from our little home, we have nothing but a desolate place

Do not touch what you should not touch while we are trying to speak! Which little rascal, while everyone was listening, stealthily approached the military cot and attempted to seize a military dagger placed on the bed

My name is Qian Yong, and I am a high school student. I excel in academics and am also quite good at sports

Zhao Tian and Zhang Zhongyi shrugged dismissively, choosing to ignore it entirely

A disaster star is just a disaster star; their fists are bigger than ours, so we have to listen to them. Can't you just behave yourself!

The voice of the speaker, calm yet unhurried, echoed again: "My friend, I am quite angry at your interruption of my speech... very angry, and of course, the consequences will be serious"

The other person among the two, who has long hair and appears quite handsome, spoke in a leisurely tone: "It is a pleasure to meet you here, friends. Clearly, everyone has some questions they would like to ask. Now, I will address a few of them. Of course, the answers are already in your minds; you just need to think about them carefully for a moment.

Bang!

Look at your watches, this is a high-tech communicator issued by the Chief Executive for mission purposes! It has many functions, and will ultimately be reclaimed after your demise. As for how this space was formed, only heaven knows. I believe that although none of you can build a television, you all know how to watch one! So don't overthink it; just enjoy the terrifying journey of escape!

At this moment, several people lying on the ground also gradually woke up, covering their heads

I almost forgot to mention, in fact, this space can also be exited, but you will never wait for that day to come... Zhang Zhongyi finished speaking hesitantly, then looked at his watch and revealed a satisfied smile

As a person with a wide range of eclectic interests, he quickly immersed himself in the role, positioning himself as an observer to examine the entire situation

It is truly difficult to make one's work and life more meaningful. Clearly, this is a sentiment shared by many people across the country. However, what is disheartening is that while hope is a positive force, reality is harsh; a plumber is merely equivalent to a tiny screw on a large machine, no bigger than a speck of dust.

There was also that laborer-like man, whose face was filled with panic, which was unacceptable. In the end, one of the students was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled, proving to be useless as well

However, whether it was being kidnapped or something else, it ultimately allowed me to escape that dull life and experience what it feels like to be a hostage

My personal interests are quite diverse, but due to the limited funds in my pocket, I mostly remain at the stage of reading books and newspapers. Engaging in collecting like those enthusiasts is simply out of the question.

My name is Liu Yan, and I am a typist, skilled in cooking and household chores I am very sensitive to danger

Bang! The gun fired again, this time the bullet grazed the scalp of one of the little thugs.

Next... just forget it, my time is very valuable

Ah...! A gunshot interrupted the fat man's self-introduction, followed by a woman's scream! Clearly, this person's words had greatly annoyed those who resembled kidnappers!

Zhang Minxin, with a slightly unpleasant expression, said, "This guy looks like a harbinger of disaster; he can't even see the current situation. When someone gives you a bullet, you'll know what it means to feel exhilarated."
