Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

Chapter 1 Insect Tide and the Mysterious Gate

Heyun City, Heyun University.

In the usually empty gymnasium, all sports equipment such as basketball hoops were gone, the seats in the stands were also removed, and the ground was occupied by beds, quilts, carpets and even a few scattered tents.

This is no longer a gymnasium, but a refuge. In other words, the entire campus has become a refuge.

A young man wearing a sweatshirt sat in the corner, touching his chest with his hand through his clothes, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

"It's still light red. Do you have to force me to kill someone or risk leaving the city?"

Lu Jing showed a wry smile, as if fate had played a joke on him. He died of cancer in his last life and never thought he would have another chance.

Although the earth in this life is subtly different from the previous life in every aspect, he just thinks that he has traveled to a parallel world, and has even prepared to use entertainment works from his previous life that have never appeared in this world to plan a legend from a genius director to an entertainment tycoon. career.

I never expected that it would suddenly change to an apocalyptic script midway through.

In this life, he was actually reborn in the world of Devouring Starry Sky!

When the name "RR virus" appeared in the news, Lu Jingren was stunned.

After that, he experienced life and death again. Neither his mother nor stepfather survived the RR virus infection, leaving only Lu Jing, his sister Lu Shengnan, and his ten-year-old brother Lu Shengchuan. Lu Jing did not even have time to grieve. nothing.

Because only he knows that the raging RR virus is just an appetizer, and the bloodier and crazier era of Nirvana has just begun.

A month ago, all coastal areas were attacked by a large number of sea monsters. Although Heyun is located inland and has not suffered much damage, everyone has a faint feeling that mankind, which has long been the master of all spirits on the earth, is about to face subversion. challenges.

Fortunately, he does have a golden finger.

Lu Jing suffered from cancer in his previous life. Naturally, his parents and family were all materialistic and tried all kinds of materialistic methods. They also used medical and metaphysics. His grandmother spent a lot of money to buy a jade plaque from some temple with a door carved on it. The jade plaque was always worn on his chest.

When he died of illness and traveled to this world, he had a vague purple birthmark on his chest since he was a child. As he grew up, the birthmark became clearer and clearer. The pattern on it was exactly the gate carved on the jade plaque. The pattern depicting the gate was extremely complicated. It was very mysterious, but Lu Jing tried many methods but couldn't find anything, so he gave up.

Until the death of his parents in this life, he accidentally killed a mutated stray dog. The original purple door suddenly turned bright red, and the complicated patterns on the door came to life like earthworms, turning into something unimaginable. Text that carries information.

A huge amount of information instantly poured into Lu Jing's mind, making Lu Jing understand that this door could allow his spirit to come to other worlds, and when he returned, he could bring back all the power he had in that world, and transform it into something unknown through the mysterious door. The original energy is injected into the body.

However, there is a time limit for the spirit to come to another world. The ratio between the two worlds is one to one hundred. One day in the main world is equivalent to one hundred days in the coming world, and one year is equivalent to 100 years.

It seems that he is well off, but when Lu Jing's spirit comes to the other world, his body is equivalent to a vegetative state. Putting aside safety issues, even a vegetative state with a slow metabolism will starve to death if he does not eat or drink, and he will not be able to sustain it for much longer. sky.

So the last time he traveled to the world of "Coiling Dragon", he basically gained nothing.

After the gate was opened once, it changed from bright red to the original purple birthmark appearance, making it impossible to cross again. For a month, Lu Jing successively killed some relatively weak mutant animals in the city that had not escaped to the wild, but this only made the gate faint. Dye a layer of light red.

Lu Jing estimated that if he wanted to meet the conditions for opening the gate again, he would either have to kill more lives, or he would have to kill stronger lives.

But the stronger mutant animals in the wild are simply not something he can deal with. Even the human bodies that survived the RR virus disaster have become stronger, with strength, speed, cell activity, and skin toughness more than doubled. , but other animals and plants apparently evolved faster than humans.

Even if Lu Jing's spirit came to another world a month ago, and when he returned, he brought back all the physical energy of a mortal in that world, his physical fitness would be at most twice as strong as other ordinary people.

We are now in the early stage of the Great Nirvana, and there is no complete concept of levels yet. But according to Lu Jing's estimation, he may currently be at the level of an intermediate student in "Swallowing the Stars", which is still a long way from being a warrior, and the mutant beasts evolve very quickly. The weakest mutant beasts now have junior beast soldiers - comparable to the level of junior warrior warriors.

The mutated beasts in the city either fled to the wild, or were eliminated one after another by the military. Lu Jing now had the golden finger, but he could not activate it again.

It's not like he hasn't tried other ways to become stronger. After realizing that he was on the Earth in "Swallowing the Stars", he collected some real or fake so-called Chinese martial arts secrets, as well as many yoga practices and even yoga videos. Tutorial.

But unfortunately, he really doesn't have the understanding of the protagonist in the novel. He has mediocre talents, has no mental power in his mind, and is not an ancient martial arts wizard. Maybe he can gradually become stronger after more than ten or twenty years of experience, but in this world, there is still There are younger brothers and sisters who need to be taken care of. If you can't become a strong person quickly, you can only be an ordinary person who follows fate and has no control over life or death.

"Xiao Nan!"

A loud shout reached his ears. Lu Jing pulled away from his thoughts and stood up with a frown.

"Brother..." A girl behind him who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old also stood up and looked at Lu Jing with a slightly unnatural look, with a hint of prayer. She was the daughter of his stepfather in this life, his Sister Lu Shengnan.

The younger brother Lu Shengchuan, who was sleeping next to him, was also awakened and got up with a confused look on his face.

Lu Jing sighed in his heart, nodded to her to comfort her, and turned to look at the figures approaching.

The leader was a young man wearing a plaid shirt. He glanced past Lu Jing, as if he were a transparent person, and only looked at the girl behind Lu Jing. "Nan Nan, didn't you agree to live in my place? I have a separate dormitory with a bathroom, and I have to live in a place like this with this group of people." The young man looked around and seemed to smell some stench. , curling his lips disdainfully.

Thousands of people are crammed into a confined space and haven't had a shower for two or three days, so it's impossible to smell good.

Some people around him showed dissatisfaction with the young man's offensive remarks, but no one came forward to argue with him. In such a densely populated shelter, it is definitely not ordinary people who can have a separate space.

Lu Jing stretched out his hand and directly grasped the young man's arm that was grabbing Lu Shengnan.

The young man struggled, but he felt that the hand that clamped his arm was like steel. He couldn't help but change his face slightly. Seeing Lu Jing's expressionless and indifferent expression, he felt a palpitation in his heart, and the hairs all over his body stood up. He soon turned into anger and snorted coldly, Just as he was about to say harsh words, he was interrupted by the girl's gentle words.

"Zheng Hu! You already have a girlfriend, why are you here to see me?" The girl's tone was arrogant and mixed with sadness, hiding her boredom so deeply that only Lu Jing could detect it.

Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, turned to look at his sister, and loosened his grip on Zheng Hu. He had just had the idea of ​​killing this kid to see if human life could speed up the progress of restarting the crossing gate. .

Then he felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that the coming of the end of the world and the brief experience of the last time he came to Panlong World had inevitably affected his temperament.

"Brother..." Lu Jing was keenly aware that Lu Shengnan gently tugged on his clothes, as if he was afraid of a conflict between him and Zheng Hu.

Lu Jing sighed inwardly. Sure enough, drastic changes in the environment can mature a person's mind. Lu Shengnan is now much more mature than he was a few months ago.

The trouble in front of him was actually caused by Lu Shengnan himself. He and this cheap sister were not related by blood, and because they were reorganizing their families, the two of them had not dealt with each other since they were young. To be precise, Lu Shengnan had not dealt with him unilaterally. After all, Naturally, his soul, which is decades old in two lifetimes, cannot be so childish.

When Lu Shengnan entered adolescence, he became even more rebellious. Not only did his studies plummet, but he also got involved with gangsters outside school. Maybe many adolescent girls were obsessed with young and Dangerous bad boys, or maybe it was just pure rebellion. , fortunately, there has not been any bloody pregnancy and abortion plot.

Originally, Lu Jing didn't care about this kind of thing at all. It was a trivial matter in peaceful times. After adolescence passed, they grew up and went their separate ways. These were just embellishments of many absurd events in the memories of youth.

But when the end of the world comes and the era of great power comes to himself, this childish trick of a child becomes something he has to face seriously.

Zheng Hu, who still has a bit of a street gangster temperament in front of him, because his brother is a so-called superpower - Lu Jing guessed that he should be a spiritual master, with a high status, and his every move, word and deed, and even the past What was once considered a childish delusion has become truly lethal.

Such as his harem group.

Zheng Hu seemed to be pleased by Lu Shengnan's tone. He glanced at Lu Jing sadly, and then a smile appeared on his lips: "Nan Nan, I feel sorry for you. After all, we have not officially broken up. Don't worry. Yanyan and the others won’t be jealous of you.”

A trace of disgust flashed in the girl's eyes, and she even felt a little regretful about how she could get involved with such a person because she was angry with her family.

Can……

Thinking of the rumored brother of the other party and the vicious cases that she had heard about in the city, her heart trembled slightly. She was no longer a simple girl living in her father's doting and ivory tower.

In this environment where everyone is in danger, she doesn't want to bring any danger to her stepbrother and younger brother, whose relationship has eased recently, and she doesn't dare to break up with them. But how should she continue to be conceited? If there is really no other way... When bitten by a dog...

"My sister doesn't like you. Please stop pestering her. Should you leave on your own, or should I throw you out?" Lu Jing said calmly, looking at the other party with calm eyes.

"Brother..." Lu Shengnan looked at the figure in front of her in surprise and worry.

"Boy! How dare you talk to Brother Tiger like that?!"

"Don't think that because your sister is the woman that Brother Tiger likes, we don't dare to teach you a lesson!"

"The last time I disrespected Brother Tiger, one of my legs was broken!"

Zheng Hu stopped several loyal thugs behind him. After all, he had a superpower brother who served in the military. He was also practicing the secrets of national martial arts that his brother had obtained from the military. He still had good eyesight and judgment.

From the opponent's grip just now, he could feel that Lu Shengnan's cheap brother, whom he had not paid much attention to before, was stronger than him. He was either a lucky person with strong natural strength, or he also practiced Chinese martial arts or other ancient martial arts.

It's okay for these followers to bully ordinary people based on his reputation. If his opponents who are stronger than ordinary people still practice ancient martial arts, even if they only know a few moves, they will not be able to deal with them.

"Humph, don't think..."

Zheng Hu was sneering to himself when suddenly a piercing siren sounded, causing the crowd in the gymnasium to watch the excitement or in a daze start to commotion.

A slight, hallucinatory sound buzzed, becoming clearer and clearer. The sound seemed to trigger some strange resonance, causing everyone to suddenly feel unspeakable anxiety and panic, and their hearts thumped. Beating, almost jumping out of the chest!

"The insect wave is coming!!!"
