non-human reincarnation

A sleepy yawn sounded in the clean and tidy one-bedroom, and the ending sounded lazily like the breeze blowing leaves outside the window.It took a full 10 minutes before there was any movement in the room.

Chi Wu slept for nearly ten hours, but he still couldn't open his eyes when he woke up. He stepped on a pair of broken slippers, slowly opened the refrigerator, bent down and groped for a while, and finally held an apple in his left hand and a banana in his right. go to the kitchen.

The sun slanted in, forming a square of light and shadow on the white floor. Chi Wu stepped on it, hummed a tune without rhythm, and rubbed the apple twice under the faucet.

Such a leisurely afternoon was suddenly broken by a cold mechanical voice without emotion——

"The first ladder will open in 5 minutes, please get ready."

Chi Wu took a bite of the apple, put the banana back in the refrigerator expressionlessly, and wandered back to the bed slowly.

"The first ladder will open in 3 minutes, please get ready." The mechanical voice repeated again, without any urging.

With an apple in his mouth, Chi Wu took off his pajamas with one hand, took a down jacket from the cabinet, put it on indiscriminately, and dragged out a pair of cold-resistant boots.

“五秒后进入一阶天梯……5、4、3、2、1！”

When the mechanical sound ended, there was only an apple that had been bitten to pieces beside the bed.

----

First ladder.

The sun dries up the plants in the garden, as if all the water has evaporated into the hot air, leaving behind sparse loess, but at the entrance of the zoo is a small pool with light blue waves. The weather seemed unusually abrupt.

"Ah! Water!!"

The strong man jumped out of the pool with two kicks.

As soon as he called out, some people were at a loss and jumped out hurriedly. The rest reacted slower, looked at each other, and looked down at the depth of the water at their eyes and ankles.

"..."

The crowd came out of the pool one after another, formed a circle, and stood on the edge of the pool, not too slow.

"You...you all heard that voice just now, saying that this is the first step of the ladder?" The first man who jumped out of the pool asked cautiously, "After I heard this, I suddenly came into this water."

Someone mentioned it, and someone responded: "I heard that, I heard this too... I thought the ladder was like a tower, why is it here..."

"This is like a zoo..." the woman in a yellow dress said.

They chattered and discussed, and someone in the crowd snorted coldly: "What are you making such a fuss about? Before you entered the third world, you didn't listen to the guard's guidance?"

This man is not tall, with a slender figure, but his eyes are full of arrogance: "Ladder is just a noun, it doesn't mean that you really need to climb to the sky, but only after passing through the nine steps of the ladder, you, I , we can become human in the next life, now we can only leave the ladder by ourselves, otherwise we will be trapped in it, when the time limit set by the ladder is reached, the spiritual energy will be dispersed, no matter which world, it will no longer exist."

After he finished speaking, most people still half understood and asked, "What is spiritual energy?"

"Why do I meet people like you who don't do any preparations?" The man rolled his eyes and explained reluctantly, "The third world is full of dead creatures. You have no choice but to die. Now You can still live consciously by relying on spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy will dissipate. If you die in the ladder, the spiritual energy will dissipate directly, or if you have not left the ladder after the time limit, the spiritual energy will also dissipate. If you are more stupid , just directly understand the dissipation of spiritual energy as death."

The panic in the crowd finally rose: "I just came to the first ladder in less than 2 minutes after entering the main city, and I didn't even have time to inquire about the news. Does anyone know how to pass the first ladder? Is it to climb?"

Lian Xiao: "The way to clear each level of the ladder is different, and the world in the ladder is also different, but according to the veterans outside, the first level of the ladder is the easiest. The further you go, the more difficult it will be."

And the fat man who was the first to come out of the pool just now rubbed his palms honestly: "Then we are teammates on this ladder, let me introduce myself, my name is Xiaobai." After he finished speaking, he smiled shyly for two

"I don't know what your name is?"

The man who had introduced the ladder rules to them had a disgusted look on his face, and said two words with disgust: "Lian Xiao."

It has been 10 minutes since they entered the zoo. They walked around the pool for a while and found nothing unusual.

"Since you don't understand anything, I'll put my ugly words first," Lian Xiao put his hands behind his back, "Don't move things that shouldn't be moved, and don't move where you shouldn't. If something goes wrong, everyone will be left behind." It’s not good, if you find something, you should discuss it with everyone first, don’t make up your own mind, the ladder is not a joke.”

Many people were willing to listen to Lian Xiao's words and nodded frequently. After half a minute, Lian Xiao suggested: "There is nothing around the pool, let's go in."

"It's such a hot day, why are you still wearing a down jacket?" the woman in the yellow skirt asked suddenly.

She didn't ask Lian Xiao, but looked at another person.

The man was standing at the corner, looking up at the wooden introduction board. He turned his head and glanced when he heard someone talking to him.

"Ah..." The woman in the yellow skirt stared blankly at the man's face, her mouth opened and she didn't close it for a moment.

The person under the road sign has extremely beautiful eyes, round like the eyes of a newborn kitten, but the corners of the eyes are slightly lowered, looking innocent and simple.

The voice of the woman in the yellow skirt attracted attention, Lian Xiao thought there was a clue, and took the lead: "What is it?"

Chi Wu lowered his eyes, as if he was a little afraid of him, hid his down jacket behind him, and stumbled: "No, it's nothing."

The people present saw his face clearly, and couldn't help but look at him. Chi Wufu raised his head, and after meeting the eyes of men and women, he took two steps back in fear, covering himself with a road sign.

Lian Xiao snorted from his nasal cavity: "What's the use of being good-looking, if you can't pass the level, you will die."

A fat woman next to Lian Xiao saw that Chi Wu was being bullied, so she followed suit: "Aren't you afraid of dying of heat if you wear such thick boots on a hot day?" She asked Chi Wu rudely, "What are you? "

Chi Wu pursed his lips, but did not answer.

Lian Xiao said indifferently: "If you are so timid, I don't know if it is a mouse."

"Well, let's not waste time, it's a matter of life and death after all," Xiao Xiaobai smoothed things over, "I'll read to everyone what's written on the sign - Wild Animal Park, so it turns out that this is a Wild Animal Park, and there are nine museums in the park , Monkey Mountain, Bear Mountain, Walking Bird Hall, Bird Hall, Herbivore Hall, Carnivorous Animal Hall, Ocean Hall, Penguin Hall, Nara Deer Park.”

"Isn't it a little too few? I see that there are many venues in zoos..."

The crowd began to discuss again, Chi Wu was isolated behind Lian Xiao, unable to participate, he walked away alone, squatting by the pool, looking down into the water.

The sun was too harsh, and the green plants looked like distorted oil paintings from the scorching air. The layer of hot sweat they baked in the shade dripped down, and it was unbearable to continue.

"Otherwise, let's look for clues separately, and we can't find anything in this area," Lian Xiao suggested, "If something happens, go back to the pool and gather."

The map of the zoo showed that there were three paths out from the entrance, and they each divided into teams to search for clues.

Lian Xiao's team was huge, six people, heading towards the carnivorous animal hall, and the woman in the yellow skirt apologized that what she said made Chi Wu bullied, so she kindly invited Chi Wu to join her.

When they were walking the other way, Chi Wu turned around.

Behind him, there is another person.

This man is the tallest among the 12 people. He is about 1.9 meters tall, with wide shoulders and narrow waist. He wears a black T-shirt on his upper body. His exposed arms are lean and powerful. He wears combat pants on his long legs. Nepal. Saber.

In addition, he also has a handsome face, but he has been standing on the periphery of the crowd before, and has not spoken.

"Are you going this way?" the woman in the yellow skirt asked.

When the man heard the question, he showed a very casual smile: "Yeah."

"Then let's go together, my name is Piao Piao," the woman in the yellow skirt talked a lot and was very easy-going, "What's your name?"

"My name is Chi Wu." After Chi Wu answered her, Yu Guangzhong found that the man followed behind him.

"Cheng Yan."

Piao Piao nodded, and smiled a little nympho: "It's good luck, I feel that all the handsome guys in the team are with me, hahaha!"

She still wanted to say something, but suddenly a gust of wind blew up, and the sky that was clear just now was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Two seconds later, snow fell without warning.

"It's snowing?!" Piao Piao looked at the two of them in shock, "It was so hot just now, how could it suddenly snow?!"

The temperature did not transition, but dropped suddenly. They felt the cold in an instant, and got goosebumps all over their bodies. Chi Wu had to put on the down jacket that had been draped around his elbows.

Cheng Yan looked at Chi Wu's down jacket hat covering his head, and turned to look up at the sky.

A flake of snow fell on his eyelashes.

At the same time, an indistinguishable announcement sounded from the loudspeaker in the zoo: "The hot weather has finally passed, and the favorite season for carnivores has come, but there is a shortage of food in the museum. Please pick a piece of food and put it away within 10 minutes." In the designated area, after the mission fails, the wild world battle royale will start."

This notice was too long, Piao Piao only heard the last few key words: "What kill? Battle Royale? What is Battle Royale?"

Chi Wu frowned and remained silent.

Cheng Yan followed Piao Piao's words: "The food in the carnivorous animal hall is a customs clearance condition, at least today's customs clearance condition. Food must be found within 10 minutes, otherwise we will face a battle royale."

His words were affirmative, so Chi Wu didn't pay much attention. When he looked up, he found that Cheng Yan had already walked beside him, bending over as if asking him.

Chi Wu shrank his shoulders to the side and said in a low voice, "I don't know."

Cheng Yan was noncommittal, and straightened his waist: "Our road is to the Penguin Pavilion and the Deer Park, and the Carnivorous Animal Pavilion is on the other road."

Piao Piao remembers clearly: "The carnivorous animal museum is on the road of Lian Xiao and the others, or we can go around and have a look?"

The two of them had no objection, and the three of them diverted to the Carnivore Museum.

Just when he was about to leave, the announcement sounded——

"Please vote for food: yes, no."

The three of them glanced at each other.

"Ask us to vote?" Piao Piao said, "But we didn't even see the place where the food ladder said!"

Cheng Yan: "The food should be found by others, now let's vote."

The broadcast was still waiting, and Piao Piao tentatively said "Yes?" After she finished speaking, there was no response: "Do you want everyone to vote?"

Now they don't even know what food other people have picked, if they choose 'no' rashly, they may hinder their teammates.

Cheng Yan looked up at Chi Wu.

Chi Wu was full of longing and admiration: "They are so powerful, they found it after only a few minutes!"

Cheng Yan: "..."

Half a minute later, the 12 people voted and all voted "Yes", and the broadcast reported——

"mistake."

Immediately above the head came continuously:

"Please vote for food."

"mistake."

"Please vote for food."

"mistake."

"mistake."

……

With the constant "mistakes" in the background sound, they gradually lost confidence in Lian Xiao's team.

"Cheng Yan, are you cold?" Piao Piao asked him, "The road is much longer than expected, we probably won't be able to get to the carnivorous animal hall, otherwise let's stop and find a place to hide."

The ambient temperature has dropped to minus [-] degrees, and Cheng Yan is only wearing short sleeves. Compared with the round pool fog beside him, it is so cold that it makes people shiver.

They found the warmest place nearby, a pavilion with air leakage on all sides. Before they could sit down, the broadcast sounded again——

"Please vote for food."

"mistake."

"The time is up, no qualified food is detected, and the wild world battle royale will start in ten seconds, ten, nine, eight..."

Piao Piao stopped, stepped on her feet and staggered: "Ten seconds? Open the wild world battle royale?!"

"Three, two, one! The wild world battle royale begins!"

As soon as the radio stopped, the surrounding wind and snow rolled

Suddenly, the air became hazy and blurred, Piao Piao backed away in fright, bumped his arm into Chi Wu, and immediately shouted: "Ah! Who?!"

They frightened themselves, Chi Wu was knocked down by her, and after a few consecutive "woo woo, I'm so scared", he pushed away fluttering shoulders, but felt fluttering as light as a piece of paper.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the roars of animals came from all around. Two tigers appeared pacing out of the woods. Before they could react, a faster cheetah rushed towards Cheng Yan from the side.

"Run!" Chi Wu pushed Cheng Yan, crying, "Help, help!"

They avoided the impact of the cheetahs, but found that there were wild animals in all directions. Outside the pavilion where they were standing, the weather was one degree cloudier than before, and snowflakes blew in, cooling their whole bodies.

"What... what should I do..." Piao Piao held Chi Wu's arm, "Wu Wu, Wu Wu, let me make an agreement with you first, I can fly, but I can only fly by myself, I can't take you with me , you have to hold Cheng Yan's thigh tightly!"

Chi Wu was taken aback for a moment, then showed a reluctant expression, and nodded with tears in his eyes.

Surrounded by beasts, Cheng Yan bowed a little, his left hand drooped, and he held the handle of the saber with his tiger's mouth.

Piao Piao stepped on the stone slab of the pavilion, jumped up, climbed up the pavilion, and overlooked the whole area from the pavilion, she didn't even dare to fall back to Chi Wu and Cheng Yan: "There are at least twenty ..."

Cheng Yan took a few steps back, touching Chi Wu's shoulder: "Is there any way for you to escape?"

Chi Wu was completely out of state, and said in a crying voice: "I don't know, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

Cheng Yan's eyes sank, and he looked at the tiger that was already in front of him: "Then we can only kill it."

He took a step back and rushed forward with the strength of his right leg. The saber swung under his wrist. Before he could see clearly, the tip of the saber had pierced the tiger's front leg from the side. Side bite.

"What to do! Do you have a solution?!" Piao Piao shouted in the sky, "Wu Wu, you hide first!"

Cheng Yan almost rolled past the tiger's claws. He took the opportunity to grab Chi Wu's shoulder and stuff him under the stone table. At the same time, the hungry wolf that appeared behind Cheng Yan didn't give him any chance to escape and rest.

Chi Wu saw Cheng Yan rolling past him, his arms were covered with bruises from sand and gravel, and Cheng Yan hastily wiped off the blood that came from nowhere on his face with the back of his hand.

"Find a place to escape as soon as possible, I can't solve so much by myself!" Cheng Yan sabered the hind legs of the hungry wolf.

Piao Piao scratched her hair in a hurry, jumped back to the ground, picked up a few stones and threw them out, then flew back to the beam in a hurry: "No, I don't know how to escape, could it be because we chose the wrong way, so we must die ?”

After she finished speaking, Chi Wu saw that the four joints on the back of Cheng Yan's hand were all scratched, revealing the red and white flesh inside.

"Battle Royale, you can only call it a big escape if you have the possibility of escaping!" Chi Wu raised his head and shouted at Piao Piao, "There must be a place to go, look up there!"

Piao Piao immediately concentrated and looked around carefully, Cheng Yan barely escaped a blow, but the beasts that kept appearing beside him made him not pause for a moment.

Chi Wu hid under the stone table in the pavilion and reminded Cheng Yan: "Your right rear!"

Cheng Yan stepped on the mahogany pillar of the pavilion, jumped to the side, supported the ground with his hands, and asked Piao Piao: "Have you found it?"

"I found it! You go east, drill out of the bushes, and there is a trestle bridge 500 meters ahead!"

Chi Wu was taken aback for a moment: "East? Where is East?" He pursed his lips, looking like he was about to cry again, "I don't know how to recognize southeast, northwest, up, down, left, right..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was lifted out from under the table like a chicken, and held onto his shoulders.

The sound of the wind passed by his ears, Chi Wu's face was cut by the sharp leaf edge, and he frowned in pain.

During Cheng Yan's escape, he suddenly asked, "Are you 1.6 meters five?"

"You..." Chi Wu's upper body was hanging upside down, with a rare expression on his face that was not timid. He gritted his teeth, and waited for Cheng Yan's speed to slow down before he said, "I'm 1.7 meters."

Cheng Yan chuckled: "It's so short."
