Earth Star, January 17, 2020.
This day is the Chinese New Year. There is only one week left before New Year's Eve. Countless people who are working hard in other places embark on the road home, forming a grand annual Spring Festival transportation.
As night fell, Lu Qi, a Spring Festival travel volunteer who had a busy day at the train station, said goodbye to his classmates, got on the bus, leaned against the window, put on his headphones, and quietly watched the night view of Changcheng along the way.
At this moment, Changcheng was hung with red lanterns and flags everywhere, and it was full of the lively and joyful atmosphere of the New Year, but Lu Qi felt a little irritated in his heart for no reason.
"Why have I been so restless lately? I always feel like something bad is happening."
Lu Qi shook his head, took out his phone and scrolled through B-station and Douyin, trying to divert his attention and suppress the irritability in his heart.
Not to mention, after watching a few fun videos, Lu Qi's irritability gradually dissipated.
Half an hour later, the bus stopped again. Lu Qi also stood up and prepared to get off. His destination had arrived.
But at this moment, the space a few meters in front of the bus suddenly distorted, and ripples appeared like water waves, emitting colorful luster and covering the more than 100-meter-long street.
Pedestrians and car owners around them stopped one after another and looked curiously at the strange and gorgeous scene in front of them.
"What's going on? Is it a mirage? An ocean?" someone said excitedly.
They have all heard of mirages, but have never seen them. They did not expect to be lucky enough to see this rare beauty in Changcheng today.
"The light is so beautiful and colorful, as if the ocean from heaven has come down to earth."
Many pedestrians took out their mobile phones, wanting to take beautiful photos with the mirage, and then post them online to gain attention and likes from others.
Lu Qi, who had just gotten out of the car, naturally saw this scene. The unspeakable feeling of irritation and fear resurfaced in his heart again and became stronger, making his breathing stagnant, as if he would suffocate the next moment.
I saw the ripples in the space becoming larger and larger. The beautiful scenery that intoxicated everyone only lasted for a few seconds, and then changed from the rippling water to the roaring waves.
The surging invisible force of space tore cracks into the street, and the glass of the shops on both sides was instantly shattered. Several street lamps fell to the ground, kicking up bursts of dust.
Several cars were even broken in half by the force of space, and several unlucky pedestrians were hit by the flying parts and were either seriously injured or killed.
In an instant, piercing screams resounded throughout the street. Everyone's face changed with fear and their legs became weak.
This time, all the passers-by saw that something was wrong. This was not a mirage at all!
"Ah! Help! Help me." A man who was unlucky enough to have a flying piece of iron pierce his thigh and lose the ability to move lay on the ground and screamed, asking for help from the crowd on the side.
Everyone just wanted to escape quickly at this moment, so they didn't care about him. With all their strength, they turned around and ran out.
Lu Qi looked pale and wanted to run away quickly, but when he saw the man screaming in pain a few meters away, he gritted his teeth, walked up quickly, carried the man on his back, and then ran away as fast as possible.
However, before Lu Qi took a few steps, the twisted space changed again.
One after another, tiny Dao-marked talismans appeared out of thin air, flickering and shaking the space, and a twisted black crack appeared in mid-air.
It was as if there was a divine hand containing supreme power, grasping the invisible and qualityless space, and slowly tearing the black cracks to both sides.
In an instant, a huge space crack was formed, more than ten meters high and three to four meters wide, and the surrounding space force also dissipated, as if to form a stable and solid channel.
When that powerful force appeared, the crowds of people escaping on the entire street seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. Their running bodies stopped for an instant, unable to move at all.
Only the eyes that were full of fear and could still move showed that their consciousness had not been frozen.
"boom!"
At this moment, another powerful force emerged from all directions and collided with the powerful force beside the space crack, causing a loud noise.
Under the raging energy, the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street were suddenly shattered and reduced to ruins, and people suffered heavy casualties.
The power of the two forces is almost the same, but it seems that the being behind the previous force has some scruples.
So after a collision, the former took back its power and did not want to confront the latter head-on.
However, at the moment of retraction, the space channel finally erupted with a powerful attraction, covering the surrounding pedestrians.
Lu Qi felt his consciousness spinning, and then his vision went dark, and he passed out, sinking into the rift in space together with everyone else.
The power from this world could not feel the power of the other world. It hovered for a moment and then dissipated.
And the space passage that had finally been stabilized became chaotic again, but was quickly repaired under the rules of the world, and disappeared in a few breaths, as if everything that happened before was just an illusion.
A few minutes later, blaring sirens came from far away to the ruined street. They immediately took over the scene, isolated the people, surveyed the scene, and investigated the cause of the unknown explosion that had just occurred.
At the same time as this scene was happening in Changcheng, space cracks also appeared in many other places on Earth Star, turning them into ruins...
"Where is this place? There's no signal at all."
"Hey, I want to go home."
"Who can save us?"
"That was a wormhole before. We were transported from Changcheng to other places by the wormhole."
The people who were attracted by the space rift and dispersed around woke up one after another. They immediately found that they had come from the steel forest to a primitive forest, and they also showed all kinds of life in the first place.
Some people cried bitterly and cried out to go home; some looked frightened, took out their mobile phones and dialed frantically, trying to contact others; others tried to calm down and analyze where they were.
When Lu Qi woke up, he looked at the towering tree that reached the sky and couldn't be hugged by the two of them, and said in shock: "Damn it, the trees here are too tall!
This tm is over 100 meters tall, taller than most high-rise buildings in Changcheng! "
"Even the trees in the Amazon rainforest on Earth cannot grow so tall." A young man next to Lu Qi said.
"Did you see that purple plant? I'm sure there has never been such a plant in the stars!"
"And do you feel it? It's more difficult to move around here than on Earth."
"This is definitely not Earth Star!"
"We were transported through a wormhole to an unknown world."
