Sleep?
Heh!
Jesse Thompson felt bitter in his heart.
He really wished it was all just a dream.
The apocalypse, the collapse of civilization, the invasion of other races.
If he remembered correctly, Dash had his neck snapped by a sickle mantis on the first day of the apocalypse!
Blood sprayed half a meter high, staining the floor red, and his head was gnawed to pieces by the sickle mantis...
At the thought of this, Jesse Thompson, who had already dressed, jumped off the bed.
He glanced at his other five roommates who had been awakened by him.
"Since we're classmates, let me give you some advice!"
"What advice?"
"Before nine o'clock today, don't leave the dormitory."
"Why?"
Jesse Thompson quickly explained, "Everyone has studied physics, so you should know that one dimension is a line, two dimensions are a plane, three dimensions are solid, and four dimensions include adding a time axis to the ordinary three-dimensional space....
In this way, there are multiple dimensions in the universe, which explains the existence of different worlds and planes!"
"Jesse Thompson, what are you trying to say?"
"You're just rambling, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Let me finish!"
Jesse Thompson interrupted the roommate's words, glanced at his phone again, and mockingly released the first bombshell:
"In two hours, the apocalypse will come. The surface space of the Earth will shake and crack open countless small space rifts. At the same time, a cosmic storm from a different time and space will sweep across the globe, causing massive changes in the Earth's gravity, climate, geography, and so on!"
At this point, Jesse Thompson glanced at the several roommates who were confused or incredulous, shook his head lightly, with a faint smirk on his lips, and said in a low voice:
"You still don't understand the terror of the cosmic storm. By then... Most of the electronic devices and precision instruments on Earth will completely fail! In other words, human civilization and technology will suffer an unprecedented blow.
Your phones, computers, air conditioners, even the electric lights for illumination, everything that is integral to daily life will be ninety-nine point nine percent paralyzed. It will be a...primitive, dark, barbaric, and bloody era..."
"And this is just the beginning..."
Jesse Thompson's words sounded absurd, leaving his roommates looking at him as if he were crazy.
"Jesse Thompson, have you lost your mind?"
"You're scaring us like you've experienced it!"
"Are you still dreaming?""Just so, it's already 2022! Do you think it's 2012?"
"Is it fun to make such low-level jokes? Do you really think we're fools?"
"And you're dragging in the apocalypse, cosmic storms, seriously? Did your brain get waterlogged while you were sleeping?"
Jesse Thompson's five roommates ridiculed him one after another, completely treating his words as a joke to please the crowd.
Throughout history, there have been countless predictions of doomsday, big and small!
But as time passed, all these doomsday lies were debunked—especially after 2012, people scoffed at predictions of the end of the world, thinking anyone who believed in them was foolish.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you!"
Jesse Thompson didn't bother with them and just turned around and ran out of the dorm.
Since fate gave him a second chance at life, he certainly wouldn't waste time explaining such boring things.
Two hours may be short, but they are extremely precious.
If he used them wisely, he could quickly rise up in the apocalypse with the memories from his past life.
As for his roommates' lives? Sorry.
In the apocalypse, everyone is for themselves. Even he can only focus on self-preservation, so how could he worry about others?
As Jesse Thompson left the dormitory, he couldn't help but sniffle.
Looking at the fluffy clouds, the clear blue sky, and the students playing and the affectionate couples on the playground, he took a deep breath!
"Watch closely, classmates. What's about to happen will scare the hell out of you. If you're lucky enough to survive, you'll never forget this moment for the rest of your life!"
Yes!
If anyone could survive the bloody catastrophe of the apocalypse, they would deeply remember the moment when the end of the world arrived!
September 20, 2022, exactly 9 o'clock in the morning.
Jesse Thompson remembered clearly that unprecedented disasters broke out simultaneously all over the world!
Thick fog, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes.
Invasion from another world!
Human casualties were exceptionally heavy.
Jesse Thompson even felt that dying in a natural disaster might be lucky.
Because the remaining people would face even more terrifying threats, living in panic and despair every day. He didn't know how many people would live lives worse than death!
In the apocalypse, what is most important?Of course, it's supplies!
However, Jesse Thompson didn't rush to search for supplies first. Instead, he hailed a taxi and headed straight to the shantytown in the southern part of the city.
Regardless of whether you admit it or not, in such harsh conditions of the apocalypse.
Surviving in a team is definitely easier than surviving alone.
So, he needed to find a reliable teammate first.
Malachi Stewart!
In his previous life, after meeting Malachi Stewart, he followed him home once.
He knew where Malachi Stewart lived.
However...
"What? Moved out?" Jesse Thompson ignored the school security guard's obstruction and dashed out of the school.
He took a taxi to the shantytown where Malachi Stewart lived and asked the taxi driver to wait outside the shantytown.
Alone, he went to the fourth floor and kept knocking on the door of the apartment on the left side.
Originally, he thought Malachi Stewart was just not at home.
Who would have thought, when the neighbor next door heard the knocking, they came out and told him that Malachi Stewart had moved out two days ago?
Moved out?
How could that be?
Jesse Thompson couldn't believe his ears.
He had spent quite some time with Malachi Stewart in his previous life, and even after the apocalypse began, he had stayed here for a long time.
But now...
"Damn it..."
Looking at the door in front of him without any response, and then at the time on his phone, Jesse Thompson cursed angrily: "Could it be that my rebirth caused a butterfly effect?"
Due to the time being too tight.
He didn't have time to investigate further and could only choose to leave here and head to the small town in the southern suburbs of the city.
He could accept not having a reliable teammate for now.
Because after the apocalypse began, he could still slowly search for one.
But that sword must not fall into someone else's hands.Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate at all,
It's just...When Jesse Thompson arrived at the small town south of the city to find Clarence still asleep, the message Clarence gave him made him realize something was amiss!
"What? You're saying someone bought your sword two days ago?"
"Believe it or not!"
Clarence, standing at the door, looked at the stranger in front of him and impatiently closed the door.
Upon hearing this, Jesse Thompson instantly furrowed his brows.
He couldn't believe it was true, so he knocked on the door again and confronted the arrogant Clarence.
But the result remained unchanged.
The sword had indeed been bought by someone.
And the buyer seemed to be a rich kid?
"Could this be the butterfly effect too?" Jesse Thompson muttered to himself. "It can't be, right?"
