My Exclusive Dream World Adventures

Chapter 3 is not what I thought

“The power's out? ”

Chen Xu was somewhat surprised. I was under the impression that he had moved here for two years and had not lost power.

It seems to have started the year of environmental protection, shutting down a number of highly polluted and energy-intensive plants. Since then, there has been no limited electricity.

As he thought about it, he went downstairs and was about to go to the cake shop on the corner to buy some bread and milk to deal with.

If he had a choice, he preferred something hot for breakfast. Unfortunately, a bakery on Main Street moved out a few months ago because of the harsh rise in rents.

He just walked down the street and something was wrong.

Where is he?

There's no one on the street.

Now it's the peak of work, a dozen buildings on this street, not a thousand or hundreds of people, usually at this time, a lot of people rush to work ——

No, it's not!

Chen Xu's head blew open and thought of a possibility.

This can't be a dream.

Thinking about it, the briefcase fell to the ground.

He looked at the streets of no-one and was shocked to say nothing.

It was a while before he muttered, “I should have thought of that. ”

It's 100% virtual reality.

No brilliant light effect, no big shocking scene. But everything was no different from reality, and he woke up completely unaware that he was already in a dream.

He gently strangled his back and felt the slight pain clearly.

“Even the pain is completely simulated. Is this really a dream? ”

His heart was shaking a little.

He grabbed the briefcase on the floor and ran forward.

On empty streets, you can see cell phones and wallets and keys from time to time on the ground. He ignored it and ran all the way to the end of the street, turning around, the main road.

He stopped, stood at the corner, looking at the road ahead.

A wide variety of vehicles were parked on the road. Most of the shops on either side of the road are open and everything seems the same as usual.

The only difference is, nobody, nobody.

He walked to the bus stop step by step, at this time of the week, it was already packed with people who wanted to take the bus. Now, there are only a bunch of cell phone wallet keys and bags left on the ground.

“People disappear and things stay? ”

He saw something on the ground, his scalp was a little tight, and he guessed the setting of the dream. At some point, maybe the moment he wakes up, the people disappear at the same time, and what's on his body stays where it is.

It's like pressing the pause button and clearing people out.

No, it's not.

He looked at the vehicles parked there on the highway, stationary keys, I suppose.

Otherwise, the vehicles that would have been in motion, after the driver disappeared, would have collided under inertia.

“Anyway, go to the office first. ”

He stood there for a while and felt more comfortable getting to the office.

But how?

He looked at the bus parked more than a dozen meters away and was in some trouble. Do we have to walk through it with two legs? Seventy-eight stops away, not an hour.

All of a sudden, he moves in his heart, and if things stay where they are after people disappear, then the car keys should still be there.

He walked up to the nearest car, looked through the window, and the key was still there.

………………

Chen Xu drove slowly in the direction of the company in a black Volkswagen.

Too many vehicles on the road, especially in front of red and green lanterns, tend to be piles of cars blocking the road completely. When this happens, he can only drive to the sidewalk.

When he got his driver's license in his senior year, he rarely drove. His driving skills were negligible. When he drove to the sidewalk, his body scratched several times, and the back door was deformed.

At this point, however, he had lost sight of it and was watching the situation around him.

When the car stopped in front of the company building, he was certain that this was indeed the dream.

Though not a CBD, there are several office buildings nearby, a commercial street next door, and a few big shopping malls with huge daily traffic, especially at early peaks.

Now, the whole road was quiet, and no one could hear anything but the engine sound of the car he was driving.

Silence made him panic.

Chen Xu loosened the steering wheel and rubbed his face hard, sighing. “This is not what I thought. ”

When entering a dream, at least have a ritual process.

At least give him a psychological preparation.

Where did you come up with the idea that the system didn't follow the path at all, and as soon as it opened its eyes, it went straight into the dream.

It's too real to tell if it's a dream or a reality.

To be honest, he drove all the way here and saw a car parked over the street with no one, a road with no one, a shop with no one on either side, and really had hair on his mind for a while. It's completely different than he thought.

“Forget it, they're all here. Think about how you're going to spend the last 180 days.” Chen Xu patted his face and threw away these messy thoughts. Open the briefcase and take out the paper and pen. Get down on the wheel and write it down.

At this point, if he doesn't find something to do, he won't hold up.

He concentrated and organized his thoughts.

First, water and food. Most importantly, the question of food and water.

He wrote these two words in the first line.

Don't worry about the water, there's plenty of bottled mineral water in every supermarket, and he won't run out of water in this city alone.

Moreover, bottled mineral water generally has a shelf life of one year, without fear of deterioration.

Trouble is, food, rice and noodles, they last a long time. Meat and vegetables don't last very long, especially meat, a day or two away from this weather.

“Yes, we need to collect enough meat to store it, otherwise we'll have to eat the cans every day. ”

As a carnivore, Chen Xu couldn't tolerate a day without meat. He wrote the words "meat and vegetables" in the second line and started to act.

When looking for lots of fresh meat, you usually think of the meat market and the big supermarket. Chen Xu went to one of the best restaurants near the company.

In his view, the best place to find a base camp is neither a luxury villa nor a supermarket. It's a restaurant. It's best to have a higher-end restaurant with ready-made ingredients and a wide variety that you don't have to bother collecting in the market.

More importantly, larger restaurants have a freezer where meat is best preserved.

And one more thing, there are plenty of kits around here, a couple of big supermarkets where you can find all your daily necessities.

A place like this is perfect as a base camp.
