After crawling out of the crack in the rock painfully, I carefully searched around. I was sure that I was not at the production line installation site of the factory, but in a hilly area that I had no memory of. How did I get here? Wasn't I installing and debugging equipment in the factory? Could it be... Could it be a lightning bolt? But if I was struck by lightning, how could I still be alive in this world? A lot of questions made my mind a mess. (What a stupid way to leave^_^)
Looking at my body, all my clothes, including my thick work clothes, were broken into strips. There were many traces of burning on the edges of many of the cracks. It seemed that I was indeed lucky. I was not killed by the accident. Instead, I might have turned a disaster into a blessing. Perhaps those space transfer technologies in science fiction may become a reality because of my experience this time. If so, then I, who have withstood the test, would be... The imagined large sums of money, fame, and status made me completely lost. (If someone saw the protagonist's expression now, they would definitely shout, monster...)
A gust of wind blew by, and the bone-chilling cold wind pulled me back to reality from my fantasy. Now is definitely not the time to daydream. No matter how great my discovery is, the first thing I have to face is how to return to civilized society safely. This place doesn't look like a human settlement at all. Maybe it's even the territory of a cannibal in the Amazon forest in Africa. If I'm unlucky enough to be eaten and left with only a skeleton, and then kicked around like a ball, then I, a future big man, will die in a very ugly way.
I took out all my stuff and sorted it out. A 300 caliper (a measuring tool used in mechanical production with moderate precision), which I used to eat with when I was working; a cell phone, damn, there was no signal, otherwise I could have asked someone to rescue me; a PDA that I used to read novels when I was free; two hundred yuan and some small bits and pieces...
Damn, what is this? I took out a bag from my back pocket, and to my great delight, I found two monoculars, one ordinary 4x golf monocular with rangefinder and one 4x infrared night vision telescope.
These two things were originally given to us by our boss because he decided to take us technicians to watch a ball game after testing the equipment. One golf telescope belonged to my best friend, but he gave it to me for safekeeping because he had to drill into the oil pool to test the equipment, and the other one was extorted from my boss.
With this, if I find danger, I can find it in advance and take preventive measures. If I can't afford to offend, can't I just hide? If a wild beast or cannibal really comes, the caliper in my hand is not for nothing. Although it is a little light as a mace, it is sharp enough to nail a person's head in one shot.
I sorted out my clothes, tore off the tattered pieces of cloth, and then wrapped them up again (I can only say wrapped because they were too tattered. If I were to use these things to make a mop, I wouldn't need to process them at all, I could just use them directly). Then I held the telescope in my left hand and the caliper in my right hand and climbed up to the highest peak.
Maybe it was because of the sequelae of being struck by lightning. I had no strength left after climbing halfway up the mountain. I was also hungry and thirsty. Cough! I was only 18 years old, a "green and stupid" virgin. I had never learned any knowledge of wilderness survival and did not bring any logistical supplies. I was so lucky to come to such a remote place. Isn't this a sincere attempt to kill me? Poor me, I am still a virgin～～～～～～
Not long after I sat down, I fell into a deep sleep. It wasn't because I was careless, but because I was too tired, and I was also shocked by the lightning and the shock I got when I woke up.
"Stand up, what are you talking about? Stand up right now, or I'll chop you off!" I was half asleep, and I heard someone shouting in front of me. What's the matter? I haven't gotten enough sleep. Of all the things in the world, I'm the best at sleeping. If I don't wake up, who will be held responsible for a work-related accident? You, Mr. Zhou, you want to get away without 200,000 yuan? Don't open the factory~~~~~~~
In a daze, he kicked me hard on the butt. ******I want to die! How dare you kick me~~~~ Slow down, it seems that I am not in my own bed, nor in the factory, but in an unknown place. But I like it. From the sound just now, I should still be in China. At least I can understand what he said, so it will be easier for me to go home.
"What's the matter?" I said as I jumped up from the ground, but what greeted me were two sharp knives.
"Brothers, let's talk, let's talk. I'll give you whatever you want. If you can help me leave here, I'll definitely ask my family to send you extra money. I'm a poor little man with an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child. When the two knives were on my neck, I almost went crazy. The word "robber" almost slipped out of my mouth. Fortunately, I saw the opportunity quickly and immediately burst out a series of begging sounds, even using the most lame sentences. Damn, 80-year-old mother, did my mother give birth to me in her 60s? A virgin also has a 3-year-old child? Damn!
"Shut up, I'm asking you, are you from the Senke Federation? What are you doing here? Where are you planning to go? Tell the truth, otherwise, I'll chop you to death with one knife!" The tall guy among the two guys who were holding knives against me interrupted me and asked harshly, and at the same time, he put more force on the knife that was pressing on my neck.
"Uh uh~~~~, big brother, be gentle, I'll tell you everything." After coughing several times, the guy hesitated and loosened the thing on my neck a little, allowing me to take a long breath. "I'm not from the Senke Federation. I just followed a few fellow villagers and wanted to do some small business, but there was an accident on the road and I was separated from my fellow villagers, so I became like this now."
Leniency to those who confess, life imprisonment, this is a view I deeply believe, and no one would believe me if I came here. Of course, I didn't lie in the first sentence. I have never heard of the Senke Federation, let alone whether it is. But what's wrong with these two? Nowadays, robbers don't even use knives, even the worst ones will use muskets to show off their power. Why did these two fools only have two knives? But they are definitely enough to deal with me. Damn! Why am I so unlucky!
Hey, please read Chapter 10. If it doesn't make sense, I'll have nothing to say! (To be continued)
