A zombie outbreak occurred. I peered out the window at the people fleeing and the zombies tearing at each other below. I knew I was doomed. This was my third day in City A. I had just rented the apartment yesterday and hadn't even had time to unpack my suitcase. When I woke up, the whole world had changed. There was no drinking water, no food, just the furniture and air in this apartment. The hallway outside the window was filled with screams and howls. Hearing a loud commotion outside, I rushed to the peephole. My neighbor had been torn apart and was lying on the ground. The zombies that had been attacking him were following the scent toward my door. Without thinking, I moved the only single sofa and single dining table and chairs in front of the door to block it. I glanced through the peephole again. The zombies were gone. I lay down on the bed and quietly waited to die. I was afraid of the pain, so I chose to starve to death rather than be bitten to death.
On the third day of the zombie outbreak, adhering to the idea that if I don't move, I won't consume energy, and if I don't consume energy, I won't be hungry, and if I'm not hungry, I won't need to eat, I simply moved my blanket and pillow to the bathroom to sleep, and when I woke up, I would drink some tap water and go back to sleep.
On the sixth day of the zombie outbreak, I woke up and felt like the whole world was spinning. I couldn't move my limbs. I could hear my own heartbeat and breathing. I even had a urge to eat my raised arm. I made a decision and tried to move the furniture blocking the door, but I overestimated my body, which hadn't eaten for six days. I turned to the window and limped like a zombie to the window. I glanced at the zombies scattered all over the ground below and jumped down. And that was the end of that.
I felt like I was pushed out by a force, and when I looked up again, I was back in my home in City S, with my desk and computer in front of me. "It was all a dream," I muttered to myself. It felt so real; I could still vividly remember the pain of being torn apart by the zombies. I got up, washed my face in the bathroom, and sat back down at my desk. I turned on my computer and continued searching for a house in City A. Suddenly, a cartoon character shaped like a virus popped up on the screen, waving and saying hello. I was dumbfounded. "This can't be a virus, can it? A new version of Panda Burning Incense?"
The virus suddenly spoke: "Honorable lucky one, welcome to Future Island. I am customer service representative number 1314. I am happy to serve you. What I just played for you was a clip of your future. You can now choose to change your future or not."
After the virus finished speaking, the words "Change" and "Don't Change" appeared on my computer screen. I moved the mouse to the "Don't Change" option but didn't click it. A line of text appeared: "Choosing 'Don't Change' will not change the future you see." I then moved the mouse to the "Change" option: "Choosing 'Change' will grant you the Anywhere Door and a teleportation space." Anywhere Door! Wow, that's a door that lets you go anywhere! Seeing the Anywhere Door, I decisively chose "Change." Even if it's a computer virus, I'll accept it; there's nothing important on my computer anyway.
After clicking "Change," a new icon appeared on my computer desktop—a red door. Clicking the icon revealed a text input area with a note: "Enter your desired destination and click 'OK' to travel to that location. If the teleportation fails, please check if the location exists." On the other side was an icon to add an image, with the note: "Add an image, click 'OK,' and place your mouse over the image showing your desired destination to travel there. Do not place your mouse over dangerous areas such as the sky or the ocean, or you may die." Finally, there was another line: "You can set a default location in the upper right corner. After teleporting, saying 'Back, back, back' will immediately return you to your default location."
After getting a general idea, I decided to try out the "Anywhere Door" function. Text input shows the destination as a location, while images show the specific location. I set my home as the default location and typed "City A" in the text field to confirm. I felt a sudden weightlessness and found myself in the middle of a busy road with cars speeding by. A car was about to hit me, so I immediately yelled "Back! Back! Back!" The next second, I was back in my room. It really worked! Wow, what a stroke of luck! After calming down, I typed "City A" again to confirm. This time, I was hanging from a tree, but the train station for City A was in the distance. It seems you can't use broad locations when inputting a location, otherwise the teleportation location will be random. I typed the location again, thought for a moment, and entered "Living room, Building 1, 602, Tianyu Garden, S City." I clicked confirm, and sure enough, I appeared in my own living room the next second.
I couldn't contain my excitement! I was invincible! I opened my phone's photo album again to look at the photos I'd recently taken. There was one I'd taken a few days ago while shopping at the mall. Just as I was about to add the picture, I realized the "Anywhere Door" was on my computer, and the photo album was all on my phone. That meant I'd have to carry my computer everywhere! I clicked on the virus to see if there were any instructions or anything. Suddenly, the virus spoke: "Master, what are your orders? When you need me, you can call out 'Little Sick, Little Sick' to the computer and say the question you want to ask." That sounded so familiar! I asked the computer if the "Anywhere Door" software could be installed on my phone. Little Sick immediately replied: "Yes, Master. You can turn on your phone's Bluetooth, pair it with your computer, right-click on the 'Anywhere Door' software on your computer, and select 'Bluetooth Transfer' to complete the transfer."
I followed the steps to install the Anywhere Door on my phone, added a picture of the shopping mall, and placed the mouse on the mall floor as instructed. The next second, I was teleported to the mall. To avoid attracting attention, I immediately returned home.
There's also a mobile space. When asked again where the virus's mobile space is, the little virus replied: "The mobile space is not yet open. Please complete the newbie tasks to open it. Quickly click 'Get Tasks' on the screen to complete the tasks."
There are three tasks in total. The first task: Complete three days of check-in; you only need to use the Anywhere Door once per day to check in. The second task: Do something that changes the future. You can go to Future Island to view future scenes and see if anything has changed. The third task: Find a lucky person to complete the match.
