Chapter Two, a boy named Peter

Zhuang Quan felt neither sorrow nor joy; being able to salvage a life is certainly a good thing

I found you by the river, along with one of your bags. That was close; you were almost out of breath. Fortunately, I have learned a little bit of first aid knowledge

Zhuang Quan's thoughts gradually returned to normal. If it is true that the future can only be survived in this world, then this gold should allow him to live quite well

He was somewhat surprised and then opened the golden light from the backpack, instantly leaving both people present in a state of astonishment

It is evident that the top is not the cabin of a warship, but rather a wooden roof

Here ... ... is Marvel! He suddenly felt a sense of having just escaped from the tiger's mouth, only to fall into the wolf's den, "It's not too bad either!"

He seems to be quite talkative, but it is evident that he has a good heart; otherwise, he would not have saved a stranger.

Indeed, you are a Chinese person, and Chinese people tend to like saving money! This stereotype from the times quickly made Peter understand, but his thoughts were also very active

"Dungeon? United Government? Oh brother, are you playing some kind of role-playing game? Or are you actually not from Earth, but from another planet and - a - book? Perhaps you could submit your story to the Horn Daily, they might be interested in hearing it!" he said, "As for me, I think I need to charge you a fee of 100 dollars, because I was supposed to be working part-time at the McDonald's on the street today."

He pointed to Peter and said, "You know, I am a Chinese national. I usually like to save money, so it is quite reasonable to buy some investment gold bars for appreciation, isn't it?"

However, he is after all a traveler who has only crossed over to the world of The Wandering Earth for two years, and still has memories of his previous world, so is this... ? ... another crossing over?

Zhuang Quan did not speak; he received his green card, which displayed his name, gender, date of birth, nationality, and expiration date

However, in a vast environment like that of The Wandering Earth, sorrow and despair can easily infect people, so he was not very happy either

It appears that his identity in this world is that of an immigrant from China to the United States, and his status seems normal, with no issues.

As for the backpack ...? ... Zhuang Quan had some difficulty retrieving this backpack. Could it be that the traversal panel had prepared something for him?

Thank you! Zhuang Quan expressed his gratitude once more, somewhat reluctantly getting out of bed. "My name is Zhuang Quan, and I am a citizen of Huaguo. May I know your name?"

I know that you must have been targeted by the gang, which is why you fell into the water! Such a large sum of gold, you truly have a big heart!

Wait! ... Zhuang Quan suddenly recalled the jest Peter had made earlier about him submitting an article to the Horn Daily, and then he looked at this somewhat shy yet kind-hearted boy

Peter Parker's somewhat hazy gaze suddenly became focused, as he stared blankly at the tall boy in front of him; this name is certainly not to be taken lightly

He quickly began to flip through and soon discovered a line of text on the gold bar, "XX Bank Investment Gold Bar"

Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't try to get up from the bed! This sentence is spoken in English, and fortunately, Zhuang Quan's English is quite good, so he can understand it

He also began to recall that this was not his backpack; it clearly belonged to that middle-aged man who valued money over life. Since it was gold from the territory of Huaguo, it should have a name

It's not bad; his life was originally one that was salvaged. He saved two people, so it wasn't in vain

The boy did not look at the book with his gaze. After discovering that Zhuang Quan had not taken the pizza, he stuffed the piece of pizza into his mouth and said, "Hey, buddy, have you figured out what you should be doing right now?"

Oh, it seems you have been swept away by the water for quite a long time!" said the big boy, "It is now the year 2002, and this is New York!

Zhuang Quan lay weakly on the bed, indeed, he had no strength left to even get up, only struggle remained.

The person speaking walked from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, and sat down in front of Zhuang Quan, "I originally intended to call an ambulance or dial 911, but I am very sorry, I could not find your driver's license or passport, I only found a green card!"

The dead cannot be resurrected, and the plans that have already begun cannot be terminated. Even if he had a slightly better life in this world, what impact could it have on the world of the wandering Earth

In the world of The Wandering Earth, in fact, since the era of braking began, most capital enterprises have been abolished in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the Wandering Earth project; these concepts have become very outdated.

Ah, by the way, your green card and your bag!" Peter finally reacted, struggling with his frail body to carry a bundle and placing it at Zhuang Quan's bedside

I have no money and cannot afford the hotel fees, so I can only move you to my home for now

This bag is really heavy, and I don't know why you dropped it in the water, yet it is still floating! He is indeed a chatterbox, always looking for something to say, which aligns even more closely with the impression that Zhuang Quan had in his memory.

But life must go on, he reluctantly raised his head and said, "Excuse me, sir, could you tell me where this is and what time it is now?"

No, no, no! Zhuang Quan immediately rejected this; of course, it cannot be acknowledged, otherwise the other party would likely call the police.

Oh, my God, dude, did you just rob the Federal Reserve? Peter said, somewhat shocked.

Thank you for saving me! Zhuang Quan said, "Could you help me contact the Underground Rescue Team? Or a phone number for the Earth United Government would also be fine!"

Peter, Peter Parker, he picked up a pizza from the table and handed it over, "If you can get up, have something to eat first!"

He is a big boy, looking somewhat youthful. "Oh, I haven't told my uncle and aunt about this matter yet. I wonder if they will allow you to stay at home..."

"You should put it away quickly, it's not very safe here. If someone sees it..." said Peter Parker, kind-hearted just like the superhero who shares his name.

Dollar? Horn Daily? McDonald's? Hearing these strange yet familiar terms, Zhuang Quan was somewhat shocked

Uncertain how much time had passed, Zhuang Quan struggled to open his eyes. He discovered that his body was experiencing a very sharp pain, right at the back of his neck.

Zhuang Quan shook his head with a bitter smile, not denying this statement. In this unfamiliar world, he had not yet figured out how to face the future.

"I don't know, did you find my green card? Let me see!" Zhuang Quan said, recalling the memories of his near-death experience. Could it be that this journey also comes with an identification card?

He estimated that he must have floated near the underground city of some country, and then was rescued by someone. He needed to report his safety first, otherwise the underground city might revoke his residency status

Gulu... Zhuan Quan could only feel that he had been soaked by the water, his consciousness gradually becoming blurred

Zhuang Quan struggled to get up from the bed, but a voice from the bedside stopped him
