Chapter 1: Crossing Over

  There is a guy in the UK named Hawking, who is very accomplished. A high-level quadriplegic with no mobility in his limbs, yet he still managed to get married and have children - he even got himself a wife and had kids! Is there anyone more accomplished than this? Actually, yes, this guy also came up with the theory of wormholes. Apparently, if a person or object enters a wormhole, they will emerge at a different point in time and space.

  Yun Xiao now hates this theory because he has become a victim of it.

  There is no medicine for regret in the world. If there was, Yun Xiao would have ordered a bottle, even if it didn't come with free shipping. Why did you have to be so curious and touch that glowing stone? They say curiosity kills the cat, now you've been killed by your own curiosity.

  A 1.85-meter-tall big man is now less than 1.58 meters tall. The biceps that were once proud are now like a chicken leg.

  Is this where? Earth?

  Ahh~~~~~.

  It's a wild wolf. Yun Xiao wasn't afraid of wolves before, and he could handle two with his bare hands without any problem. But now his physical condition is definitely not up to par. Running away isn't a wise choice either, whether it's on the grasslands, in the forest, or in the desert. Or even in cities created by humans. No one can outrun wolves, not even Liu Xiang.

  Looking at those two thin legs like hemp stalks, it's obvious that expecting them to surpass Liu Xiang and Bolt is unrealistic.

  Since force won't work, then there's only wisdom to take. Fortunately, the wolves are still just two small black dots in the distance, and Yun Xiao has time to search for what he needs.

  Thank goodness the backpack is still there. Yun Xiao remembers that inside, there was a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun, which he had exchanged for two Chinese-made Type 81 rifles and an old AK with someone at the border.

  It's a shotgun shell, this thing is not easy to handle. After much difficulty, I finally managed to get nine rounds, my hands shaking as I loaded two rounds in, the first time I've ever fired live ammunition with this thing.

  The black dot grew bigger and clearer, until the bright red tongue and sharp wolf teeth could be seen. A green glow appeared in the gray eyes, accelerating the short distance charge. Yun Xiao knew this was the canine's signature pounce preparation, next they would jump up without hesitation, the sharp wolf teeth accurately piercing your artery. The powerful lower jaw would lock onto your neck like a tiger clip, until your blood drained or you suffocated to death.

  Five meters, this is the final sprint distance of the dash. Fire, this is the last chance or else everything will be irretrievable.

  The heart beats violently, as if it's going to jump out of the throat. The unique howling sound of the grassland wolf can be heard clearly, and even the fluttering beard and crimson tongue can be seen in the wind.

  "Boom", scorching lead bullets shot out, even the most ferocious beast is nothing but trash in front of modern technology. The paradox of force propelled countless steel balls out of the gun barrel, a ferocious prairie wolf was instantly turned into a sieve, fresh blood flowed out from the holes. A piece of skullcap with hot air flew far away to the back.

  Another prairie wolf was initially frightened by the huge noise, but its beastly nature made it quickly make the right choice, to escape.

  When Yun Xiao adjusted his gun barrel, this guy had already run out for nearly ten meters.

  The "Boom" of the sawed-off gun barrel was clearly unsuitable for long-range attacks, and only a few iron sands hit the prairie wolf's hind legs.

  A strong desire to escape made the prairie wolf ignore the harm and continue running quickly.

  Ahhhh~~~~~~~.

  A mournful howl rose from the prairie, and Yun Xiao was startled for a moment before reacting. These guys were usually gangsters, they never fought alone as a lone wolf. Seven bullets could kill several wolves, Yun Xiao had a good idea in his mind. It would be best to escape quickly before the wolves arrived.

  He stuffed the shotgun into his backpack and hastily chose a direction to run.

  It's unrealistic to rely on the North Star, as Yun Xiao doesn't know where he is, whether it's Mongolia, Qinghai-Tibet, or Hungary. Suddenly coming from the primeval forest to the grassland, it's clear that he's not adapted. The knee-deep green grass seems like a huge green carpet, with one or two wildflowers serving as embellishments.

  Walking forward with difficulty, the jungle mountain boots found in the backpack are obviously not suitable. The big feet of the previous generation, now wrapped around the feet like two boats.

  The sun is setting in the west, and the black dots behind me are following at a steady pace, with eight of them already. If I don't think of something quickly, I'm afraid I'll end up as wolf bait. The problem is that everywhere I look, all I see is a vast expanse of green, with the green grass stretching all the way to the horizon. No matter where this is, the air quality seems to be quite good. The blue sky and white clouds make it seem like a completely different world from the one I'm used to, where the only sound is the hum of car exhausts.

  Climbing up a high slope, a silver light band appeared in front of him, reflecting the sun's rays. Yun Xiao was extremely excited because he saw several giant trees growing by the river, absolutely towering trees, with trunks as thick as a dinosaur's waist.

  As long as you climb up into a tree, you can spend the night safely, there is nothing more terrifying than being attacked by a pack of wolves at night.

  Ran all the way down the slope, and climbed up a big tree with great effort. I don't know how many years this tree has been here, Yun Xiao feels like Forrest Gump, looking at the fiery sunset, wondering what tomorrow's journey will be.

  The prairie wolves had surrounded the tree, Cloudy didn't worry that they would climb up, God was fair, he gave these beasts sharp teeth and claws, but did not give them the skill to climb trees.

  He took out a Zippo lighter and lit some dry branches on the tree, starting a small fire. The grassland night was very cold, Yun Xiao knew this. The grassland wolves were afraid of the firelight, and the green eyes under the tree quickly retreated, avoiding the fire in fear. After eating some compressed biscuits, he took out his sleeping bag and thought for a moment before taking out his climbing rope to tie the sleeping bag to the tree. He didn't want to fall off in the middle of the night, that would be a terrible outcome.

  Ran for a day, but on the first day of coming to this world, Yun Xiao still couldn't fall asleep. Lying in his sleeping bag, Yun Xiao recalled things from his past life. It seemed like he himself was a legend, just a few hours ago he was still exploring the primitive jungle, and simply out of curiosity touched a glowing stone, and then came here.

  I didn't learn well since I was a kid, but I miraculously got into the University of Science and Technology by acing the college entrance exam. After four years of undergraduate study in mechanical design, I surprisingly got accepted into Peking University's literature department to pursue my master's degree. After studying literature for several years, I graduated and became a tour guide, leading outdoor adventure teams. The career change was too drastic, maybe God thought so too, so this time I ended up failing.

  I'm not even sure if I'm on Earth right now, but if an ET were to appear, I think I could handle it mentally. However, based on the current situation, the possibility of me being on Earth is extremely high, because so far, no biological organisms have been found that exceed my knowledge category. There are no big-headed ETS, no jellyfish-like creatures floating in the sky, no blue-tailed creatures shooting arrows at me, and most importantly, there are no superheroes wearing underwear outside their pants.

  My mind was a jumble of thoughts, and my consciousness gradually grew fuzzy, until I fell asleep in a daze.

  The chirping birds woke up Yun Xiao, and the bonfire beside him had no remaining smoke.

  Yun Xiao rubbed his eyes and took a look at the trees below, where hundreds of prairie wolves were gathered around the big tree, their green eyes staring at Yun Xiao. It seemed that these guys couldn't handle him alone, so they brought in their relatives and friends. Wolves have a strong sense of territory, and with so many gathering under the tree, it's likely that all the wolves within a hundred miles had come.

  Lowering her head to take a glance at her own slender arms and legs, no matter how she looked at them, they just didn't seem enough compared to the over one hundred catties of food down there.

  Never mind their meal problem, my own stomach growled again. I opened a can of beef and started eating, then it was hard to tell whether I would survive or not.

  The guys downstairs obviously smelled the smell of canned beef, dog noses are very spiritual, wolf noses should be more spiritual. At this moment, the grassland wolves' nostrils are rapidly expanding and contracting. Greedily smelling the aroma of canned beef, one can't help but praise military rations.

  Yun Xiao cut off a large piece of beef, and found the fish hook that was prepared for catching alligators. This was bought while strolling in Xishuangbanna, and the seller was a sly middle-aged uncle who kept patting his chest to guarantee that this fish hook could even catch sharks without any problem.

  Tie the fish hook on the climbing rope and carefully lower the beef down.

  The prairie wolf's bounce was great, and it could jump more than two meters in place with a fierce pounce. Yun Xiao pulled upwards fiercely, and the sound of teeth biting together came clearly from under the tree.

  After teasing for several times, a prairie wolf with super bouncing finally bit the beef. However, it seems that this guy is very hungry and bites to death, and the fish hook comes out from the tip of the nose.

  The injured guy kept whimpering, its companion with a missing eye tried to bite its hind legs and pull it down. As a result, the whimpering sound grew louder, Yun Xiao couldn't drag those wolves away, so he tied the climbing rope to the tree trunk, leaving the wolf below to wail helplessly.

  I've heard that dogs don't eat dogs, but I haven't tried it with Cloud Whirlwind. However, wolves definitely eat wolves; in just a few minutes, the champion of high jump hanging from the tree was left with only a wolf head, dying without closing his grey-yellow eyes, clearly not closing his eyes in death.

  Yun Xiao didn't bother with the high jump champion. Since he was full and couldn't go down anymore, it's better to just rest with his eyes closed.

  Suddenly, the wolves under the tree stopped biting and became eerily quiet. The distant sound of a massive roar was like the howling of lions and tigers, shaking the sky and earth, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

  Animals are far more sensitive to nature than humans, and before the sound of the wind has even reacted, hundreds of prairie wolves have already set off at a frantic pace, their speed so fast that it can surpass that of a galloping horse.

  Yun Xiao stood on the branch, looking around and found that a wall of water in the upper reaches of the river was rushing down like a galloping horse. The roaring river water mixed with mud, sand, and ice floes, making people's hearts rise with despair. Finally understood why there were only these few giant trees by the river, not even a small sapling. At the same time, also figured out where he was, this damn place is Taohua Rapid.

  "It seems I'm still on Earth."

  The sound of clouds murmuring along the way.
