Chapter 1 Awakening Memory

The streets full of lights and wine, the young ladies in cool clothes, the traffic lights beside the zebra crossing, the mud truck out of control...

Beep~~

The sharp whistle pierced the dream, and Tao Yu woke up from his sleep with sweat all over his head, gasping for breath.

A faint smell of mold and sweat entered his nose with his gasps, and Tao Yu gradually woke up.

Here it comes again, it's this dream again, this dream that is so real that he can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

Tao Yu, a social animal from the 21st century, or Tao Yu, a young man from the outer city who is about to turn 18 years old, makes him a little confused.

Over the years, he occasionally had this dream, but as the awakening day represented by his 18th birthday approached, this dream became more and more frequent, and in the past month, he had closed his eyes.

At first, he thought it was the pressure and hallucination caused by the arrival of the awakening day, but as more and more information and memory came, the systematic and completely self-consistent memory and knowledge also told him that these were all true.

According to the novels in my memory in the dream, it should be reincarnation from another world...

Recalling the peaceful, warm and beautiful world in my memory, I now look at the damp bed board made of bricks and wooden boards, look up at the stains on the asbestos wall, and the window made of cardboard.

Tao Yu's expression was also a little dull.

Through the hole in the cardboard of the window, looking at the darkness outside the window, listening to the wind in the dark, and the vague murmurs and vague whispers that came faintly, Tao Yu's mood became more complicated.

An old oil lamp was placed at the head of the bed, and the soybean-sized flame had been emitting a hazy glow that illuminated the entire cabin, but all the light stopped at the window, as if it could not penetrate the window at all.

The occasional jump of the flame made the shadow tremble in the room, as if it had come alive, and it seemed that this tiny flame could go out at any time.

"Is there really a peaceful world where everyone can eat meat..."

Tao Yu has lived in this world for eighteen years. Recalling the memories of his previous life in his dreams, he felt as if he was in another world.

Some things that he took for granted in his previous life are completely a luxury in this life! A luxury!

Why not travel to that world from this world?

With the various combat and survival skills that he has been practicing hard for the past eighteen years, he can at least be a bodyguard son-in-law in the city of the 21st century.

Abyss...

The sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of everyone in this world, the end of the endless world.

It has been unknown how many years since this world was targeted by the abyss.

From Tao Yu's limited knowledge, through some words, he can understand that when the abyss just began to devour the world, the instinctive awakening of the world's will gave everyone in the world the power to fight against the abyss.

Through the pioneers' continuous penetration into the fragments of the world in the cracks of the abyss, they seize the will to prolong the life of the world, which has continued until now.

Tao Yu didn't know what had happened in the past few years, but the gray fog representing the invasion of the abyss had spread across the world, compressing the living areas of humans into cities and shelters.

Most of the connections between cities were cut off, and they could only move forward with difficulty in the gray fog by relying on the lamp of will to illuminate the road, barely maintaining some increasingly rare exchanges.

The fire of civilization that dispelled the gray fog in each city and the awakening day of everyone's eighteenth birthday seemed to be the last gift left by the world's will...

Cluck~

The faint crowing of a rooster came from the dark window, and it seemed that the darkness outside disappeared in an instant, and a gray light appeared.

The crowing of a rooster also woke Tao Yu up from his meditation. Looking at the gray light outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then twisted the oil lamp covered with black oil stains on the bedside and extinguished the soybean-sized flame.

There have been more and more disappearances in the outer city recently, and I don't know when it will end. I hope that today's awakening day can successfully awaken combat talents. According to my parents' talents, the best talent I can awaken should be [Dynamic Vision].

If the [Dynamic Vision] level can reach C or above, perhaps my identity can be changed.

Wearing plastic-soled shoes with unknown black dirt, Tao Yu pushed open the old door and made a creaking sound. Outside was a living room with a similar style to the room.

The walls of the living room were mainly made of asbestos boards and iron sheets. In the middle was a rusty table made of a tripod. The stools in the living room were also of different styles, as if they were made of various garbage materials, including wood, triangles, and metal.

Coming to the side of the water tank, picking up the porcelain basin next to it, Tao Yu scooped a basin of water with an uneven aluminum alloy ladle.

Looking at the thin and slightly pretty face in the reflection, Tao Yu felt a little complicated.

He doesn't look bad, but he seems malnourished. The high frequency of dreams this month has made his thoughts increasingly connected with his past life, and he feels that his brain has become much smarter.

Creak~

The same harsh sound of opening the door rang out, and a dark-skinned and capable woman came out of the room. When she saw Tao Yu, she smiled and showed her white teeth.

"Ayu, today is your awakening day, you should have a good rest, I will do the farm work."

"Sister-in-law, I can't sleep."

Tao Yu saw the woman nodded politely, and then reached out to wash his face.

"Well, my parents will return at noon, and they should be able to bring you some useful weapons and equipment."

The woman sighed, thinking that Tao Yu was too nervous, so she comforted him.

"I'll get you something fresh, so you can eat it on the first day."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Tao Yu washed her face and thanked her.

This is her third sister-in-law, but her eldest and second brothers died on the day of awakening, her fourth sister got married, her fifth brother died in the cannon fodder mission, and her sixth sister went crazy and was beaten to death by the security team. In addition to herself, there are only her parents, her third brother, her third sister-in-law, and her sixteen-year-old younger brother left at home.

However, in order to reduce the priority of the cannon fodder quota and improve their own weight points, her parents should be considering giving birth to the ninth child recently, but I don't know if they can still give birth.

Although because both of her parents have relatively stable jobs, she has been "relatively stable" since she was a child, but she has also been accustomed to life and death since she was a child.

At the beginning of the abyss invasion, the awakening of the world's will gave people the power to resist, and the day of awakening is an extremely important turning point for everyone.

From the day of awakening, everyone in this world needs to spend a certain amount of time to go deep into the abyss rift to search for willpower to strengthen themselves, which is also considered to strengthen the world will to resist the invasion of the abyss.

Although it is not digitized and panelized, the world will will allow individuals to understand their abilities more clearly after awakening, and can accelerate the strengthening through willpower, and awaken personal talents at the same time.

Personal talents are all kinds of strange, most of which are not very helpful in combat, and have a considerable impact on the growth rate of individuals.

Because of the problem of limited resources, personal talents that tend to fight are more likely to be cultivated by the company and obtain corresponding privileges and resources.

For example, Tao Yu's father Tao Long has the talent of [Eagle Eye] (C+). Although it is of limited help in frontal combat, it still has certain advantages in scouts, snipers, and reconnaissance, so it can be considered that he has survived all these years.

Mother Hong Xia has [Agility] (F). [Agility] is theoretically more suitable for combat than [Eagle Eye], but the innate level is too low, only slightly better than the lowest F-.

Although it is said that there are examples of talents being upgraded later in life, or even transformed or even having multiple talents, it is obvious that such things are impossible to happen in such an ordinary family.

So the mother finally chose to marry the father, wanting to cultivate [dynamic vision], a more suitable standard combat talent.

At the same time, she chose a manufacturing skill to specialize in, and entered the leather factory with her ingenuity and became a senior skilled worker.

Coupled with the weight of their frequent births, they have not been assigned cannon fodder tasks by the company over the years.

Although individual talents are closely related to heredity, Tao Yu has so many brothers and sisters, that is, the third brother Tao Tong inherited the optimized talents of his parents and obtained [dynamic vision] (D+).

In theory, his achievements should have been higher, and he even joined the company's security team for a time.

But after losing both legs in a mission, everything came to an abrupt end.

Whether it is items for regenerating broken limbs or mechanical prostheses that allow him to continue fighting, they are not something the family can afford.

Fortunately, he was injured for the company's mission. In order to promote the company, the company "generously" exempted him and his wife Li Li from the cannon fodder mission quota, and they no longer need to worry about the compulsory conscription of cannon fodder missions for the rest of their lives...
