February 2, 2222, the second day of the Lunar New Year in China, at 9:50 AM.
At this time when families should be enjoying time together and sleeping in, someone is experiencing the bitterness of being driven to despair.
"You little brat, run again!! Run away!! You think you're so capable? Playing dumb to fool others, huh? Going undercover like a cop, huh? Now try it again?!"
The burly man grabbed the young man's long, shiny black ponytail and pulled his head back as far as it would go, revealing his long neck.
This backward-leaning posture made the young man's already slightly upturned phoenix eyes appear even more unconsciously arrogant and seductive. If he were to slightly curl the corners of his lips at this moment, countless fans of good looks would probably die on the spot.
Unfortunately, the dozen or so burly men surrounding the young man were not the type to show any mercy to a woman; they looked at him with such hatred that they wished they could tear him to pieces.
The handsome young man, with his hair being grabbed and his neck tilted back, was clearly not in a good mood. At this moment, he couldn't laugh, nor was he so afraid that he burst into tears. He just sighed helplessly.
"Brother Sun, you've misunderstood me. I've already said I didn't let that undercover agent go, and I didn't sabotage the previous deals either. I just took the blame for some people..."
"They are all jealous of and covet my beauty."
"I am more wronged than Dou E."
The bald, burly man, known as Brother Sun, sneered repeatedly upon hearing the young man's words. He didn't believe the boy at all. He patted the young man's face with the back of his knife, his voice suddenly turning sinister:
"Gou Fugui! You're about to die and you're still putting on an act! Do you really think we still don't know your true identity?!"
"Your father died gambling in our establishment twenty years ago! Gou Tianqi is your father, isn't he?!"
The handsome young man's expression vanished the instant he heard the last sentence. He lowered his beautiful phoenix eyes, not letting anyone see the look in them.
"Not pretending now?" Brother Sun sneered at Gou Fugui's expressionless face. "Too late! Just wait to have your legs broken and be sent to Young Master Huang's bed!" As he spoke, Brother Sun signaled his men to tie him up.
But at that moment, the once bright sky suddenly turned dark.
It wasn't a gentle, slow darkness, like the transition from day to night.
It was a chaotic, mottled black, like ink splashed on white paper, descending without order. Though silent, it carried a fear that sent chills down the spines of all living things.
Gou Fugui and Sun Ge's group looked up in astonishment and saw huge black vortexes suddenly appearing in the sky, between heaven and earth, and even on the road diagonally in front of them.
These vortexes obscured the sun, the clouds, and powerfully enveloped the skyscrapers and covered the earth.
"What's this?!"
One of the thugs next to Brother Sun cried out in alarm and hurriedly took several steps back—just three steps in front of them, there was a huge vortex that appeared out of nowhere.
The vortex was enormous, almost covering the entire street and even extending to the edge of a row of storefronts on the other side. It slowly rotated counterclockwise, and a hazy mist floated gently from its huge black opening, obscuring its entirety.
If you stare at this vortex for a few more seconds, you inexplicably feel as if your consciousness is about to be swallowed up.
Sun Ge, who was holding Gou Fugui, instinctively let go of Gou Fugui's hair and took a few steps back.
This enormous black vortex looked absolutely terrifying and ominous.
It spun silently, as if the end of the vortex led to hell and death.
As one "black door" after another descended with unstoppable force, the entire Earth fell into a terrified silence.
Anxiety is spreading rapidly.
Just as this terror was about to reach its breaking point, the earth suddenly trembled.
Then, all living beings on Earth heard a voice.
The sound was neither a human voice nor any language, neither an animal's cry nor a plant's frequency; it was like the wind brushing past one's ear, like the ripples of water, like the resonance of all things in the world.
The sound was brief, yet after it faded, all living things understood everything—
In summary: [The apocalypse is coming; if you don't save yourself, you will die.]
These suddenly appearing "black vortexes" are dimensional gates leading to Earth's "apocalyptic world on the verge of destruction." Because too many worlds are about to collapse, disrupting the balance, the forces of these apocalyptic worlds are out of control and have spread to the peaceful dimension where Gou Fugui and his companions reside.
If these doomsday gates cannot be closed, Gou Fugui and his people's world will be invaded by the same doomsday forces and become a new apocalypse.
The way to close the gates of doomsday is for the beings of this world to jump into the black vortex, go to the doomsday world to find the "world core" of that world, and repair or reclaim it.
Gou Fugui couldn't help but wipe his face, his expression a bit surreal, but he managed to stay composed.
But the expressions and behavior of the group of burly men and thugs chasing him were a bit off.
"Holy crap, is this really happening?! The end of the world?!"
"Holy crap, I've lived for thirty years and always thought I lived in a normal world, and now you're telling me I'm in the fantasy/xuanhuan genre?!"
"No, bro, if we're going to categorize this seriously, isn't this place also a 'post-apocalyptic' type? After all, if we can't close the gate to the apocalypse, this place will become a post-apocalyptic world too!"
"Stop talking about unlucky things, let's talk about the rewards! Let's not even discuss what the rewards from the World Consciousness are, but we can bring back a limited number of things from the apocalypse! Gold probably isn't important in the apocalypse, right? If we could bring back a bag of gold..."
"Gold my ass!!" Brother Sun kicked out: "You think you can be a savior?! You haven't seen any of those apocalyptic movies, have you?! Just think about it, with your physique and brains, can you even outrun a world full of zombies, or run for your life naked in minus twenty degrees Celsius?!"
"Everyone, stay away from that black hole! That voice said they won't force us to enter. Let's just treat these black vortexes as military restricted areas! If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up! Saving the world isn't our business!"
“Moreover,” Sun Dafu paused, “even if you want to be rich and powerful, there’s no need to rush... There are so many doomsday gates, there’s always someone who will be the first to try it.”
Sun Dafu's unfinished words quickly calmed the thugs who were both afraid and greedy. He was very satisfied with his men's obedient appearance. Only then did he come to his senses and think about the purpose of this trip. But suddenly he was shocked - he no longer had Gou Fugui's hair!
Brother Sun suddenly looked up and saw Gou Fugui, who had somehow moved to the side of the black vortex.
That beautiful yet cunning bastard was grinning at him.
Brother Sun's eyes widened in anger and disbelief as he roared, "Stop him!!"
However, the next second, Gou Fugui had already jumped into the huge black vortex with his backpack on, and before leaving, he firmly gave him a long middle finger.
"Grass--!!"
Thirty minutes later, the military took over Fugui Street in Fugui County, Wenchang City, and the entire street was closed to traffic.
An hour later, the Chinese military urgently established the "Doomsday Dimension Exploration Team".
Five minutes later, the first team of the Doomsday Exploration Team, consisting of one person, and the second team, consisting of nine people, a total of ten people, fully armed, entered the Doomsday Vortex on Fugui Street.
Meanwhile, the military discovered Gou Fugui jumping into the pit through surveillance footage and began investigating all of Gou Fugui's information.
＊＊＊＊
While the whole world was shocked and discussing the doomsday vortex gate, Gou Fugui had already passed through the black vortex that resembled the gaping maw of a ferocious beast.
At first, Gou Fugui closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the unknown pain to begin.
But he didn't feel any pain from traversing the world. He just suddenly felt raindrops falling on his face and body, and the backpack on his back was radiating an undeniable heat.
Gou Fugui suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene before him left him somewhat bewildered. Before he could even realize where he was, the feeling of weightlessness during freefall told him—he was in the air.
Then, he suddenly realized that the huge, seemingly endless wall-like thing he had vaguely seen in the air was actually a giant wave that was more than ten stories high!
Thump—
Gou Fugui fell from the sky into the sea. Countless waves surged and crashed down from all sides, almost knocking him out of his wits. He was fortunate that he didn't fall directly into the storm's giant waves, and although he fell into the sea, his body didn't suffer too much damage from the recoil.
Even so, the situation was still terrible. Gou Fugui had to hold his breath and float to the surface of the sea quickly, otherwise, when the towering waves came, he might not even last ten minutes before he was finished.
So Gou Fugui tried to calm his breathing, held his breath, and swam towards the sea with both hands.
Even swimming in a calm sea, one can feel the resistance of the water, let alone during a storm. Gou Fugui exerted a great deal of effort to finally emerge from the sea with his wet head, but before he could even catch his breath, a wave swept him back into the sea.
"Cough, cough, cough! I... I'm so pissed..."
As Gou Fugui struggled and was swept into the sea by the wave for the third time, a look of utter despair appeared on his handsome face, which was completely at odds with his name.
If I have committed some unforgivable sin, please let a handsome man punish me, not let the cold waves crash against me to my death.
"At this moment, cough, I thought of myself, cough cough, those magical and adorable creatures."
Gou Fugui struggled to rub his face with both hands: "I wish I were a sea otter."
Then, Gou Fugui, who was rubbing his face, suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.
He subconsciously rubbed his face again, then suddenly stretched out his hands; he witnessed the miracle of biological mutation—
He, damn it, has transformed.
A sea otter, the kind that can open its mouth and say "fuck".
"……grass?!"
