Resurrection

  A faint sound of "water" came up.

  "Still alive? This kid's got a lot of luck!"

  The sound of "water" still persists.

  "What a miracle! It's really a miracle that he didn't freeze to death in the heavy snow, what a miracle!"

  "Water..."

  After three consecutive requests, a response was finally obtained, and a spoonful of cool water was poured into his mouth. The clear water brought not only consciousness but also a weak strength, and after three spoonfuls of water entered his throat, the unconscious Wu Chang finally woke up.

  What is this place? All that meets the eye apart from a woman with yellow hair and an ordinary appearance is a silver-white ceiling.

  "Where am I?" The sudden question left people around him bewildered.

  "Are you out of your mind? Of course you're in the mine!"

  "What's up?" Wu Chang still didn't understand.

  "Oh no, how did Irene pick up such an idiot? This is clearly amnesia, just look at the bump on his head and the injuries on his body, he must have gotten into some kind of accident that knocked him silly"

  The onlookers were chattering away, but this also helped to divert attention from Wú Cháng. At least no one would ask him any more questions now. The woman named Aileen looked at Wú Cháng with disappointment, placed a cup of water and some food beside him, then turned around and left.

  A fool would obviously not have many people paying attention to him, and the crowd quickly dispersed, leaving only Wu Chang shivering in the corner of the house.

  He gazed at the wound on his left shoulder, and he clearly remembered that there was a penetrating injury there, which had hurt the bone and might have disabled his left arm. However, now his left shoulder wound was wrapped in a metal shoulder guard, and the wound area had a very cool feeling. It seemed to be some kind of special medical equipment.

  Looking around, this is a simple large hall of over 100 square meters, but it's different from ordinary buildings. The walls, floor and ceiling here are all made of metal.

  Although Wu Chang didn't know what material these strange metals were made of, seeing the mottled colors on them and some damaged areas exposing circuit boards, Wu Chang knew that this should be a very ordinary place.

  The entire hall is like a restaurant, with countless tables and chairs placed inside. There are only about a dozen people eating, but judging by the number of seats, it can accommodate hundreds of diners at most.

  On the metal wall, there were only three windows. At a glance, it was clear that they were just for show. One window displayed a summer beach scene with beautiful women strolling on the sandy shore. The second window surprisingly showed a breathtaking snow-capped mountain landscape.

  What's even more astonishing is that outside the third window lies outer space, with the majestic Horsehead Nebula right before one's eyes.

  Until then, Wu Chang had already determined that he had indeed crossed over and was now in a future world.

  When he suddenly thought of this place, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of his heart.

  "Ayah" The low groan startled an old man next to him, this foul-smelling old man suddenly mysteriously approached.

  "Hey, you little stinker, what's the meaning of that tattoo on your back?" He then pulled out a greasy terminal from his pocket and pressed a few keys, projecting an image into mid-air.

  "Look at this, it's that tattoo on your back. I saw it when I was treating your wound... I just can't understand what this thing is..."

  He ignored the old man's nagging and suddenly fainted onto his camp bed when he saw that familiar pattern.

  Good heavens, that pattern is too familiar! Isn't that the mantra wheel of the "Lengyan Zhou"? The Lengyan Zhou is the king of Buddhist mantras for beheading evil demons. But why am I so familiar with this mantra wheel? What secrets did my past life hold? My brain is too muddled, and on top of that, the weakness from severe injury has caused me to pass out, which is quite normal.

  He fell into a coma, and in his subconscious, all memories were fragmented and could not be pieced together. The sarira, the moon night, the master's soul pagoda after passing away, of course, there was also the chaotic gunfire and intense pursuit.

  Could it be that this curse and the relic are related? I clearly remember that white light piercing into my back heart, could it be that he created this tattoo?

  "May my death sever all your karma in this world. From today on, Master gives you a Dharma name: Wu Chang."

  A familiar voice echoed in the erratic consciousness until finally, when that thunderbolt sounded, the erratic consciousness went completely dark.

  Now that Wu Chang had woken up once, it was already proven that he had escaped the danger of his life. In the following days, Wu Chang, who had woken up, began to get familiar with this world little by little.

  It turned out that this place was called a ration center, and the woman who walked with a limp was named Irene, she was the boss of this ration center.

  The ration center serves a deserted mine pit numbered B1313, where people make a living by mining 'Rainbow Crystal', with a population of over 100 people. The boss of the mine is a blond-haired and high-nosed drunkard, who never works from day to night but can always be seen drinking. People call him Smith Pan, commonly known as Boss Pan.

  Pretending to be amnesiac, he quietly observed his surroundings during this period. Having been a thief before, he deeply understood the importance of being low-key. To survive in an unfamiliar environment requires wisdom, and the foundation of everything is to keep a low profile.

  Slowly, Wuchang came to realize that he had been rescued by Eileen, who was on her way to Huangyecity to purchase goods. It was during a heavy snowstorm that she found him lying unconscious on the ground. This wasn't the first time Eileen had saved a stranger; in this mining town alone, at least twelve people owed their lives to her.

  She, who was familiar with the road, took Wú Cháng onto her vehicle and brought him back here. Not only did she help treat his injuries, but also provided him with food, drink, and a place to stay. Although the accommodation was just a military bed in a corner, Wú Cháng was already very grateful to her.

  Having food and drink, and a place to live, such a life is already considered heaven in the eyes of Wu Chang. Unfortunately, good times don't last long, on the seventh day after he woke up, Ailin, who had never spoken to him before, suddenly stood in front of him.

  "Your wound has almost healed, now you should go to work. With food and lodging added up, you owe me a total of ten gold coins. You can't leave until this debt is paid off." After saying that, Aileen threw him a set of miner's equipment and turned to leave.

  Next to Irene was a muscular giant, Wu Chang didn't know that this was the head of security for Mine B1313, nicknamed the Fighting Bull. This guy had also been saved by Irene and was extremely loyal to her, he stood behind Wu Chang flexing his muscles, looking like he wanted to teach this stranger a lesson.

  Wú Cháng didn't have to be so childish, of course he knew when to lower his head. This strange world he still doesn't understand at all, even if they scold him, he won't leave. Isn't it just working? Wú Cháng never thought that working would be humiliating.

  "Come on, you little stinker. You'd better get familiar with the work first, let's go sort out the waste ore." The speaker was Old Man Lain, the same old man who had helped Wu Chang recover from his injuries. It seemed that these people must have discussed it among themselves and come up with several plans to deal with Wu Chang. If he knew what was good for him, they would let Old Man Lain take care of him; if not, then the fierce bull also wanted to loosen his bones a bit.

  The unusual gentleness made everyone a little surprised, this abandoned mine was full of criminals, smugglers, thieves, robbers and prostitutes. A guy who was so badly injured, shouldn't be a good guy, right? Why is he so gentle? He does whatever you tell him to do.

  When Laine left with the unpredictable, Laine didn't look back either, just pointing to his own head with his finger. At this point, everyone present understood that this guy was an amnesiac fool, and maybe he thought he was a little sheep now. Thinking of this, the people in the hall relaxed a lot.

  "It seems that this labor has paid off for our mine"

  Unexpectedly, this delivery center turned out to be a double-layered airlock. After opening the inner door, there was a small entrance hall where people changed into their outerwear.

  "Dummy, hurry up and put on your mask. Although it's not snowing outside, the weather isn't great either. Be careful or the smog will suffocate you..."

  "I know you've lost your memory, so when we go out, don't speak or move around randomly, just follow me closely and whatever you do, don't run off, or the cannibalistic savages of the open plains will catch and eat you..."

  "You're behaving yourself today, no resistance. If you weren't being honest, the fierce cow might have stuffed you into the mine shaft. With your build, going down there would be a sure death..."

  The old man Laine kept talking incessantly, but it seemed that this guy was not too bad after all. He helped Wu Chang check the equipment three times before opening the outer metal door.

  When this world first appeared before his eyes, he was thoroughly frightened. Buddha, what kind of world is this? Is it hell?

  Right before his eyes, a gigantic volcano pierced the sky, its peak completely invisible as it was shrouded by dark red clouds from halfway up. The mountain's enormity was truly indescribable; he had once seen Japan's Mount Fuji, but compared to this volcano, it was like comparing a sparrow to a swan.

  On the dark-colored volcanic mountain body, countless buildings with flashing lights can be vaguely seen, and one cannot see the end at a glance.

  "That's Huangyuan City, the main city of our planet Huangyuan. Don't be afraid of that volcano, scientists have already investigated it, it's just a dead volcano..."

  "Dead volcano?" Wu Chang was speechless, as a dark red lava waterfall on the left side of the mountain body was pouring down. With such a volcano, you still say it's a dead volcano?

  However, when his line of sight stretched out to the entire sky and looked around 360 degrees, he finally knew why scientists said that. It turned out that within his line of sight, there were six volcanoes that were fiercely erupting, with flames shooting up into the air, illuminating the half-sky in a deep red color, and rolling smoke and dust formed thick lead clouds pressing down on the sky.

  Now everyone knows what black snow is, isn't this volcanic ash? The volcanic ash that covered the sky really fluttered down like snowflakes, and the whole earth was gray and white.

  "Wow, what a great day today! Let's work hard and try to earn three days' worth of living expenses," said Laine, pulling him towards the nearby mine.

  I'm so frustrated I want to cry, damn it. These flakes of volcanic ash are like gray butterflies, and you still say it's good weather? If the black snow you talked about starts falling, can people even survive?

  Later, Wu Changcai learned that the planet he is currently on is very young and in a period of frequent geological activity, with extremely intense volcanic activity. In fact, there was also such a period in the history of the Earth.

  That period is called Precambrian.
