Chapter 1: Stowaways
Li Xian was sleeping, his eyes closed frowned, and he felt a cool breeze outside his body, and the sound around him gradually became full.
The sound of cars whistles, pedestrians speaking, exclamation, noise, and various strange sounds intertwined to form the hustle and bustle of the downtown city.
A cool breeze blew, causing Li Xian, who felt the chill, to start looking for a blanket. As soon as he turned over, a sense of weightlessness spread throughout his body.
His body was falling down, and Li Xian’s first thought was to fall off the bed by himself!
When I opened my eyes, I saw the rolling world.
The sun was dazzling and vicious, the air was turbid, and the sound of the car whistle in my ears became clear in an instant.
Li Xian did not see the familiar room, but instead saw a bridge gradually moving away while rolling. Then his body turned around and saw a dark river.
"This is not something that falls out of bed at all...¥¥%...&@#%!"
In extreme shock and fear, Li Xian made his first roar since he traveled through time, and then was overwhelmed by water.
A wave splashed on the river surface, and Li Xian was instantly taken four or five meters deep under the water.
His limbs were struggling, his eyes closed, and he cried in his heart: I can't swim!
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo!
The thrilling feeling from the cold river water covering the whole body made Li Xian struggle even harder, and his limbs began to paddle, trying to return to the water to breathe.
But the more Li Xian struggled, the faster his body sank. The cold water flow around him kept squeezing his body, and the distance from the water surface was still widening. Li Xian could not see the hope of life at all...
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the sourness brought by the erosion of the river made him feel a little uncomfortable. He raised his head and saw the water surface emitting light and hope above.
After the initial panic, Li Xian began to force himself to calm down, use his hands and feet, and padd upwards according to his swimming posture in his memory.
Scratch...
It's useless at all!
Li Xian felt the increasing pressure in his lungs, and finally couldn't hold on and vomited a large cloud of turbid gas.
As the air protruded, his mouth was instantly filled with river water.
Gudong!
Am I going to die?
Li Xian could feel the fear of facing death, and his hands and feet began his last round of struggle.
Are you really going to die?
Suddenly, he felt something change in his body, and another mouthful of air was spit out, and a new mouthful of river water was poured into his stomach.
Puff puff puff!
At the same time, a strange puff sound spread under the water. His shirt suddenly exploded, and tiny scarlet tentacles flew out of his body, instantly spreading across the waterline, woven into a fishing net made of flesh and blood.
Li Xian's eyes slowly closed, and the last trace of consciousness saw a vague picture of a fishing net composed of flesh and blood approaching him with many caught fish.
The bottom of the river is so dark, I seem to see a net...
The last thought flashed, Li Xian's struggle completely stopped, and he also stopped breathing, and his lungs had already been filled with river water.
The flesh and blood fishing net released from Li Xian also seemed to feel the sign of his body's impending death, and the recycling speed was much faster.
It took three seconds to retract all the flesh and blood fishing nets wrapped in hundreds of various types of sea fish back into Li Xian's body. The fish that were originally struggling desperately were quickly torn and swallowed by the scarlet tentacles that emerged from Li Xian's body after approaching Li Xian's body.
Hundreds of live fish, big and small, were swallowed up in just two seconds.
A surprising change was taking place inside Li Xian's body, and two rows of tiny openings gradually split on both sides of his neck, one opening and one closing, and the chest, which had already stopped breathing, slowly recovered in the operation of the newly grown organs.
The painful expression gradually eased, and the river water accumulated in the lungs slowly flowed back, and finally all of it was discharged from the body.
Within five seconds, Li Xian opened his eyes and wanted to sit up in horror, but he touched the garbage at the bottom of the river and his body floated out under the push.
Li Xian instantly covered his mouth and nose, but he was surprised to find that if he could not breathe if he covered his nose and mouth...
After letting it go, let the river water enter the mouth and nose, and breathing smoothly! The smell of the air is so fresh!
etc!
Am I under the river now! Why can I breathe?
Li Xian widened his eyes and felt his body carefully. He was surprised to find that his fear of water seemed to have disappeared.
And you can feel the coolness around your neck, and the feeling of breathing smoothly comes from your neck!
Li Xian tentatively let go of his nose and carefully sucked in a little river water without any pain, because his nose had already been filled with river water.
"%¥&*#()@¥!" Li Xian widened his eyes in shock and said a series of vague words.
The general meaning is: Damn! I can breathe underwater!
Suddenly, he heard the last scene before a brief coma, and a red net rolled up towards him with many fish.
At that time, I didn't pay much attention because of fear and distracted consciousness, but now when I think about it, the net seems to have some strange connection with him!
Just as Li Xian was thinking this, the flesh and blood on his arms suddenly squirmed, and a blood-colored rugged tentacle appeared, which scared him hard.
There is a scarlet sarcoma and light on the tentacles, which is like a beacon under the water, evil and charming.
He looked at the tentacles growing on his hands, opened his mouth wide, and his body trembled.
A strange thing grew on his body! And it was still moving!
I tried to control it for a while and felt like I was using my fingers, but this was still very abnormal!
Li Xian thought about this and felt that it was a bit bad for him to stay in the water. He also needed to clarify the causes and consequences of the matter.
If he knew which lunatic had brought him to the bridge, he would have to let him accept the iron fist sanctions as soon as possible, and then let him get rid of the ghost things on his body and restore him to normal!
This time with calm blessings and the sudden intimacy with the water, Li Xian quickly exposed a head on the water surface.
"Ah!" Li Xian breathed happily, and two water columns suddenly flew out of his nostrils.
He looked around and before he could see the surrounding scenery, he swam to the shore he saw.
And soon he was down to the ground again, slumped on a piece of gravel and gasped.
Looking at the somewhat drowsy sky, Li Xian felt more grateful for his life after the disaster.
After resting on the ground for enough time, Li Xian got up and prepared to ask for help.
Walking up the roadside from the uninhabited river stairs, the scene that caught my eyes made Li Xian, who was wet, stunned.
He watched the classic cars that were only visible to museums on the road, but were everywhere on this street.
On the sidewalk across the lane, you can also see many retro-dressed men and women. These pedestrians who look very normal-looking dressed like people from the 1940s.
"Welcome to America!" Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from Li Xian's lower left.
Li Xian looked at it and then found that there was a sloppy homeless man sitting there leaning against the guardrail beside him.
He smiled on his face and raised the bottle of wine in his hand to Li Xian: "Lucky young man, welcome you to America. You are the fourth smuggler I have seen here, hahaha!"
Li Xian:???
"Smuggler? I don't know what you are talking about..." Li Xian heard the homeless man treating himself as a smuggler and wanted to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke not in Chinese, but in a series of fluent English.
Now, Li Xian was completely stunned, his mind began to roll, and he kept observing the life of a man named William Evans from a third perspective.
The homeless man smiled but said nothing, and every smuggler would not admit that they were smugglers.
Just like Li Xian's shirt is now ragged and covered in water, he must have entered the country from New York Harbor. Finally, the police found him jumping into the sea and slowly drifted to this place.
As the storm of World War II rages in Europe, America is one of the few pure lands in the world, attracting thousands of refugees to the United States every day.
