Chapter 001 Chapter 1 Traveling Through Time
Warm liquid sprayed on her face. An Qing opened her eyes and saw a sea of blood. She smelled a strong and disgusting smell of blood.
This overwhelming red is all blood.
An Qing was a little stunned. Where was this?
"ah--"
A scream sounded beside her. An Qing looked over subconsciously and saw a person being torn to pieces by a huge monster.
An Qing opened her eyes wide and realized that there were wild beasts all around her. Some of them looked like pigs, but were several times larger than pigs and had many bone spurs on their bodies.
Some looked like tigers, larger than the tigers she knew, with longer and sharper teeth, and a row of sharp horns growing on their heads.
And now she was surrounded by such a large group of monsters, they opened their bloody mouths and pounced on her, wanting to eat her.
Not far from her, someone was fighting with monsters, but under the siege of countless monsters around him, the person was soon bitten by several monsters and torn into pieces.
Blood was all over the ground, and monsters rushed forward to devour the torn people.
An Qing was so frightened that her whole body stiffened and her back went cold. She wanted to escape, but her body rushed forward uncontrollably.
She was very fast, holding a gun in her hand, and fired several bullets at the huge monster in front of her. That seemed to be the monster's fatal point, and the monster fell to the ground after being hit by the bullets.
However, there were too many monsters around, and soon the gun in her hand ran out of bullets.
An Qing's body seemed to have self-awareness. Regardless of her struggles and fears, when her gun ran out of bullets, she threw it away, pulled out a long knife from her side and continued to fight the monsters around her.
Another person was torn to pieces by the monster in front of her, and the splattered blood and flesh sprayed all over her body and face.
An Qing was almost scared to tears, but she jumped up, holding the long knife tightly with both hands, and stabbed the monster's fatal point as her body fell.
She killed monster after monster, but there were too many to kill them all. When one fell, more came up.
Soon, An Qing's movements became slower and slower. Her back, legs, and body were bitten and scratched by the monster's claws and teeth, and she felt a burning pain all over.
An Qing saw a monster that looked a bit like a tiger slap her arm with its claw. She was slow to move and couldn't dodge it. With a snap, her arm was broken.
The pain made her scream subconsciously, but her body only emitted a muffled groan.
The severed hand could not hold the long sword and fell to the ground.
The next moment, she was surrounded by monsters. Their sharp teeth pierced her shoulders, chest and abdomen. The tearing force from all directions tore her body into pieces in an instant.
An Qing suddenly fell into darkness, and the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Her face was pale and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. Sweat was dripping from her forehead, along with the tears that were sliding down her cheeks and eyes.
An Qing's chest was heaving, she was gasping for breath, and her whole body was wet as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
She touched her body with trembling hands. Her body was still fine and not torn into pieces.
She let out a long breath. It was just a dream, a nightmare.
But the dream just now was too real. Even though she knew it was just a dream, her body couldn't stop shaking. She murmured softly to comfort herself, "It was a dream... a nightmare... just a nightmare, it's okay, it's okay..."
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then exhaled. The fear from before still surrounded her, making her hands and feet numb and her mouth dry.
An Qing reached for the bedside table with trembling hands to get some water, but found nothing there.
She was still a little confused and was about to turn on the light when a voice came to her ears.
"No, it's not a dream, it really happened." The voice was crisp, and there was a hint of smile in the lazy tone.
An Qing paused, a chill rising from her tailbone. Fear instantly enveloped her, her heartbeat quickened, and it seemed as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
All kinds of horrible and weird scenes kept appearing in her mind. She didn't dare to move at all. Cold sweat rolled down her face. She swallowed, gritted her teeth, and slammed the switch on the bedside.
But, she missed.
An Qing's pupils shrank, and only then did she realize something was wrong.
It was so dark around, so dark that one couldn't see one's hand in front of one's face. Could it be that she was still dreaming?
"Who are you?" She suspected that she was still in a nightmare, but she was still very scared, as if she was surrounded by evil spirits. She was so frightened that her voice was trembling.
In the darkness, something lit up.
The thick darkness prevented her from seeing anything, but a snow-white long-haired cat appeared in the darkness, allowing her to see the cat clearly.
The cat is snow-white all over, without a single stray hair on its body, and its pair of mandarin duck eyes hold a human-like smile.
An Qing was stunned. Although she knew that this cat was also very strange, her original fear was alleviated a little.
The cat squatted gracefully in front of her. "Hello, I am the Happy Supermarket System. You can call me 001."
An Qing looked at the long-haired cat speaking human language, shocked and confused, and was even more certain that she was dreaming.
Otherwise, how could a cat speak human language? Aren't these scenes only seen in novels and cartoons? Especially the system, which is her favorite novel theme recently.
"You're not dreaming. This is real. You've traveled through time. This body isn't your original body. The original owner's name is An Yiqing." 001 flicked his tail. "You should have received the original owner's memories."
An Qing frowned and really felt that she had gained an extra memory.
That was the life of a girl named An Yiqing, and her previous nightmare was actually the memory of An Yiqing's death.
An Qing was a little shocked. She sorted out the original owner's memories in a daze. It took her a while to digest the original owner's memories and understand her own situation.
She looked at 001 somewhat dully.
"So, now I have traveled to the end of the world?"
The long-haired cat licked its paw for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
An Qing was silent for a long time.
According to the plot of the novels she had read, once you traveled through time, you could never go back. In fact, this was a good thing. After traveling through time, she would not have to face her parents' endless urging to get married.
But, she has no siblings. She is her parents' only child. If she travels through time, what happens to her original body? Is she dead? What happens to her parents then?
An Qing looked at 001: "I came to this world, so where is my original body and my parents?"
The long-haired cat stood up and stretched. "Ah, I don't know about that. I only became bound to you after you crossed over."
It blinked its beautiful mandarin duck eyes, walked gracefully to An Qing's side, and circled around her. "But when you accumulate enough happiness points, I should be able to find out about your parents' situation and help them plan their future lives."
An Qing sighed. She was very worried because she didn't know her parents' situation, but she also knew that it was not her decision.
She grasped the key point of Chapter 001: "Happiness value? What is this? How do I accumulate it?"
The long-haired cat leaped lightly onto An Qing's lap. "I'm the Happiness Supermarket System. You can use happiness points to purchase items in the supermarket. Using the items in the supermarket to make people feel happy will provide you with happiness points."
Then, the darkness around faded away, revealing a large empty room. An Qing looked around. The room was very large, probably several thousand square meters, but there was only one shelf in it.
Seeing what was on the shelf, An Qing was a little surprised: "Instant noodles?"
"This is the initial shelf. It does not require happiness points to unlock. Other shelves require happiness points to unlock." The long-haired cat nestled in An Qing's arms and lay down comfortably.
An Qing blinked and stared at the snow-white furry cat in her arms. Her hands felt itchy, so she stroked it gently.
001 seemed to be enjoying it and made a comfortable purring sound.
An Qing glanced at the shelves again. There were instant noodles of various flavors on the shelves, including pickled pepper flavor, braised flavor, chicken stewed with mushrooms, kimchi flavor, braised beef, crayfish flavor, crab roe flavor, coriander flavor...
The flavors are quite complete, but the packaging of this instant noodle is very simple, all transparent, without the manufacturer's address or even the production date.
As the daughter of a supermarket owner, An Qing frowned: "Are these all three-no products?"
001: “…”
It opened its eyes speechlessly. "Anything that can appear in the system is safe and secure."
An Qing said, "So, all I have to do is feed these things to the people in this world and make them happy, right?"
This is quite simple. According to the original owner's memory, this world has mutated plants and animals, and they contain a lot of toxins and are inedible, so human food has long been replaced with nutrient solution that can completely eliminate the toxins in plants and animals and only retain the nutrients in them.
Through the original owner's memory, An Qing had experienced the nutrient solution. Whether it was an injection or an oral nutrient solution, it could only make people feel full, but would not make people feel the satisfaction of eating.
Therefore, even the simplest instant noodles will definitely surprise people in this world if you give them to them.
Eating can actually easily bring people a sense of happiness.
"That's right, but your current happiness value is only 10 points, so remember to think carefully when choosing someone. After all, not everyone can be motivated by happiness through food." The long-haired cat warned.
An Qing understood what it meant, but she felt that people in this world lived such a hard life that being able to eat instant noodles could not possibly bring them happiness.
"Oh, I almost forgot, you still need to solve a big problem now." 001 jumped off her legs and turned to look at An Qing.
An Qing was puzzled: "What big trouble?"
001: "Well, you traveled through time just as the original owner had already left the base with his teammates and was on his way to a mission."
An Qing's expression froze for a moment, then she slowly opened her eyes wide: "What?!!"
Her voice rose and broke.
You can't blame her for being too excited. After all, the original owner died when he was on a mission.
"Don't get excited. You haven't entered the jungle yet. Think carefully about how to stop the team from entering the jungle." 001 licked the fur on his paws leisurely and said slowly.
An Qing, however, was not calm and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "Where are we now? How can I get out?"
001: "Just calm down and think about leaving."
An Qing took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
As soon as she thought about it, she felt a bump before she even opened her eyes.
An Qing felt a little headache, rubbed her eyebrows with her hand, and looked around.
This is the most defensive car in the base. It can reach a speed of 500 kilometers per hour. There are six seats in the car, including the driver's seat and the co-pilot seat, then the seats on the left and right of the second row, and finally the third row.
There is a wide space between the second and third rows of seats, about two meters wide, which means that this car is much wider than the cars she generally knows.
There is about three or four meters of space behind the third row.
The car is so big mainly for storing the plant roots/stems or animal flesh and blood they collected.
There were also several boxes filled with war supplies, including guns and ammunition, swords, spears, and some containers for collecting plant juices or animal blood.
The people in the car were strangers, but after receiving the memories of the original owner, she knew and was familiar with them all.
The person driving in front was the captain of their team - Wang Yuan, 33 years old, male.
The passenger in the passenger seat was the team's doctor, Ping Jingxi, 30 years old, female.
An Qing was sitting in the second row, and two meters away from her to her right sat the only woman in the group, 29-year-old Lin Yin.
The next two are 26-year-old Shi Zhui and 27-year-old Jiang Yuan, both men.
The entire team consists of three men and three women, all of whom have been traveling for many years and have rich experience.
Except the original owner.
The original owner is twenty-two years old this year. He started going out on missions at the age of eighteen, and this year has just been four years. He is the youngest and least experienced in the entire team, and is also the one who is most cared for by his teammates.
An Qing looked at the people around her who were familiar to the original owner, and her heart was filled with warmth. She could feel the original owner's closeness and trust in these people.
"What's wrong? Xiaoqing, is there something on my face?" Shi Zhui, who was sitting behind her, was puzzled by her gaze and reached out to touch his face.
