Chapter 1 Awakening Memories


Chapter 1 Awakening Memories

The brightly lit street, the young lady in cool clothes, the traffic lights at the zebra crossing, the out-of-control dump truck...

Di~~
The sharp whistle pierced the dream, and Tao Yu woke up from her sleep with sweat on her head and kept breathing.

A faint smell of mustiness and sweat penetrated into the nasal cavity as he breathed, making Tao Yu gradually wake up.

Here it comes again, this dream again, this dream so real that he can't distinguish between illusion and reality.

He couldn't tell the difference between Tao Yu, a social animal from the 21st century, and Tao Yu, a young man from the outer city who was about to turn eighteen.

He has had this dream occasionally over the years, but as the day of awakening represented by his eighteenth birthday gradually approaches, this dream has become more and more frequent. In the past month, he has only closed his eyes.

At first, he thought it was the pressure and hallucinations that came with the arrival of the day of awakening. However, as more and more information and memories became available, the system of completely self-consistent memories and knowledge also told him that these were all real. of.

According to the novels in the memory of the dream, it should be reincarnation in another world...

Recalling the peaceful, warm, and beautiful world in my memory, I now looked at the damp bed board made of bricks and wooden boards in front of me, looked up at the stains on the asbestos board wall, and the windows made of cardboard.

Tao Yu's expression couldn't help but be a little dull.

Through the hole in the cardboard of the window, looking at the darkness outside the window, listening to the sound of wind in the darkness, and some vague murmurs and vague whispers, Tao Yu's mood couldn't help but become more complicated.

An old oil lamp was placed by the bedside, and the flame the size of a soybean kept emitting a hazy light that illuminated the entire cabin. However, all the light suddenly stopped at the window, and it seemed that nothing could penetrate the window.

The occasional beating of the flames made the shadows tremble in the room, as if they were alive, as if this tiny flame could go out at any time.

"Is there really a peaceful world where everyone can eat meat..."

Tao Yu has lived in this world for eighteen years. Recalling the memories of his previous life in the dream made him feel like he was in another world.

Some things that I took for granted in my previous life are completely a luxury in this life! What a luxury!
Why didn’t you from this world travel to that world?
With the various combat and survival skills that he has practiced hard over the past eighteen years, he is probably a bodyguard and son-in-law in the city of the 21st century.

abyss……

The Sword of Damocles hangs above everyone in this world, the end of the endless world.

I don’t know how many years have passed since this world was stared at by the abyss.

From Tao Yu's limited knowledge, we can understand through a few words that when the abyss just started to devour the world, the instinctive awakening of the world's will gave everyone in the world the power to fight against the abyss.

The pioneers continue to penetrate into the fragments of the world in the abyss rift and seize the power of will to continue the life of the world. This has continued until now.

Tao Yu didn't know what exactly happened over the years, but the gray fog that represented the invasion of the abyss had spread across the world, compressing human living areas into cities and shelters.

Most of the connections between cities have been severed. Only by relying on the lamp of will to illuminate the road in the gray fog can we move forward arduously, barely maintaining some increasingly rare exchanges.

The fire of civilization that dispels the gray fog in every city and the day of awakening on everyone's eighteenth birthday seem to be the last gifts left by the will of the world...

Cluck cluck~
The faint crowing of cocks came from the dark window, and it seemed that all the darkness outside disappeared in an instant, and a gray light appeared.

The rooster's crow also made Tao Yu wake up from his deep thoughts. Looking at the gray light outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh to himself. Then he turned the oil lamp on the bedside that was stained with black oil, and turned the soybean-sized flame extinguished.

There have been more and more disappearances in the outer city recently, and I don’t know when it will end. I hope that today’s awakening day can successfully awaken the combat talent. In terms of the talent of my parents, I should awaken the best talent. It’s [Dynamic Vision].

If the [Dynamic Vision] level can reach C level or above, maybe the identity can be changed.

Putting on her plastic-soled shoes with unknown black dirt on them, Tao Yu opened the old door with a sharp creaking sound. Outside was a living room similar in style to the room.

The walls of the living room are mainly made of asbestos boards and iron sheets. There is a rusty table made of tripods in the middle. Several stools in the living room are also of different styles, as if they are made of various garbage materials. They are wooden. , triangular plates, and metal ones.

Tao Yu came to the side of the water tank and picked up the porcelain basin next to it. Tao Yu scooped out a basin of water with an uneven aluminum alloy ladle.

Looking at the thin yet delicate face in the reflection, Tao Yu felt a little complicated. He doesn't look bad, but he feels malnourished. The high frequency of dreams this month has made his thoughts more and more combined with his past life, and he feels that his brain is a lot brighter.

Crunch~
The same style opened the door with a harsh sound, and a woman with dark skin and a very capable look came out of the room. When she saw Tao Yu, she smiled, showing her white teeth.

"Ayu, today is your awakening day. You should have a good rest. I will do the farm work."

"Sister-in-law, I can't sleep."

Tao Yu nodded politely when he saw the woman, and then stretched out his hand to wash his face.

"Well, my parents are due back at noon and should be able to bring you some useful weapons and equipment."

The woman sighed, thinking that Tao Yu was too nervous, so she expressed relief.

"I'm going to get you something fresh and bring it over so you can eat it on the first day."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

After Tao Yu washed her face, she thanked him aloud.

Calculating this is his third sister-in-law, but the eldest brother and the second brother both died on the day of awakening, the fourth sister got married, the fifth brother died on a cannon fodder mission, the sixth sister went crazy and was beaten to death by the security team, and besides herself, there was only one person in the family. Only his parents, his third brother, his third sister-in-law, and his sixteen-year-old younger brother were left.

However, in order to lower the priority of the cannon fodder quota and increase their own weight points, parents should be thinking about giving birth to Lao Jiu recently, but they don't know whether he will be born or not.

Although since my parents each have relatively stable jobs, I have been considered "relatively stable" since I was a child, but I have been used to seeing life and death since I was a child.

At the beginning of the abyss invasion, the awakening of the world's will gave people the power to resist. The day of awakening was an extremely important turning point for everyone.

From the day of awakening, everyone in this world needs to spend a certain amount of time going deep into the cracks of the abyss to search for the will to strengthen themselves. At the same time, it can be regarded as strengthening the will of the world to resist the invasion of the abyss.

Although it does not mean digitization and panelization, the will of the world will allow individuals to understand their abilities more clearly after awakening, and they can accelerate and strengthen through will power, and at the same time, personal talents will be awakened.

Personal talents are all kinds of strange, most of which are of little help in combat and have a considerable impact on personal growth rate.

Due to the problem of limited resources, individual talents who prefer fighting are more likely to be cultivated by the company and obtain corresponding privileges and resources.

For example, Tao Yu's father Tao Long has the talent of [Eagle Eye] (C+). Although it is of limited help in frontal combat, he still has certain advantages in scouting, sniping, investigation, etc., so he has persisted and lived well for so many years. down.

Her mother, Hong Xia, has [Dexterity] (F). The talent of [Dexterity] is theoretically more suitable for combat than [Eagle Eye], but the innate level is too low, only slightly better than the lowest F-.

Although it is said that there are examples of people who have improved their talent level, or even transformed to have multiple talents, it is obvious that this kind of thing cannot happen in such an ordinary family.

So my mother finally chose to marry her father, hoping to develop [Dynamic Vision], a more suitable standard combat talent.

At the same time, she chose a manufacturing skill to specialize in, and relied on her ingenuity to enter a leather factory and became a senior skilled worker.

Coupled with the weight and blessing of their frequent births, they have not been assigned cannon fodder tasks by the company over the years.

Although individual talent has a lot to do with genetics, Tao Yu's many older brothers and sisters, namely the third brother Tao Tong, inherited the optimized talent of his parents and obtained [Dynamic Vision] (D+).

In theory, his achievements should have been higher, and he even joined the company's security team at one point.

But after losing his legs during a mission, everything came to an abrupt end.

Whether it is an item to regenerate a severed limb or a mechanical prosthetic limb that allows him to continue fighting, it is not something that the family can afford.

Fortunately, he was injured on the company's mission. In order to promote publicity, the company graciously exempted him and his wife Li Li from the cannon fodder mission, and they no longer need to worry about the forced recruitment of cannon fodder mission for the rest of their lives...
