The Decomposition of Everything

Chapter 1: Crossing



A school bus was driving slowly on a country road, with dozens of high school students sitting in the car, enjoying this wonderful journey. On both sides of the road, the golden wheat waves in the fields swayed gently in the breeze, like a poetic painting. The village in the distance was quiet and peaceful, with a few wisps of smoke rising and blending into the blue sky.

In the car, the students were laughing and talking. Some of them were discussing the latest school news with each other, some were sharing their hobbies, and some were playing a relaxing card game. The laughter and conversation were full of youthful vitality and vigor, as if forming a moving song.

Shen Zhi in the back row was looking ahead. He was a thin, fair-skinned, short-haired, and somewhat weak teenager. His sight was unconsciously attracted by a pair of men and women talking. The girl had long black and shiny hair, and her eyes curved into crescents when she smiled. That was his deskmate Mu Manting. The boy, tall, handsome, and confident, was Qin Hai, a handsome, rich man in the class, who was talking to the girl in a relaxed and happy manner.

Shen Zhi had mixed feelings in his heart, including jealousy and helplessness. He had imagined countless times that he could be so close to her, but the reality always discouraged him. Although they were deskmates, they only talked a few words a day. His eyes wandered between the girl and the boy, and his heart was full of complex emotions.

The beautiful spring outing also made him bored. He turned his head to look at the beautiful scenery outside the window, his eyes were confused, and a black shadow enlarged in front of him. Just as he wanted to look closely, the whole world suddenly darkened, as if he had entered a dark place in an instant. The surroundings were infinitely empty and deep, and countless ripples gathered. Everything gathered at a point with infinite density and infinitely small volume, and then suddenly expanded. The whole sky seemed to be trembling, and a strong light instantly broke through the darkness. An indescribable huge sound came, it was like a thousand thunders, and it was like billions of heartbeats sounding at the same time, but it was silent. At this moment, light and heat were everywhere. The aftermath of the explosion continued to spread, constantly destroying the surrounding stars and matter. The entire universe seemed to be trembling, and planets, nebulae, black holes and other celestial bodies were decomposed, annihilated and turned into nothingness under the impact of energy.

Shen Zhi couldn't help but close his eyes, and the aftermath of the explosion was still echoing in his mind. He couldn't express this shock in words, and his open mouth was only a constant gasp.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly I heard the driver's terrified shout: "No!"

Shen Zhi opened his eyes, and the blue sky came into view. Below was a green jungle, like a green blanket spread under his feet. However, there was no familiar country road here.

He watched his school bus draw a perfect arc in the sky, and then began to fall continuously. Fear was like an invisible big hand, tightly grasping his heart.

The classmates were also in panic. Some people closed their eyes tightly and muttered something in their mouths, as if praying that they could survive this crisis safely. Some people stared at the rapidly approaching ground outside the window with their eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief, fear and despair. The screams and cries in the car intertwined to form a heart-pounding noise.

Shen Zhi looked at Mu Manting deeply, wanting to imprint her in his mind, and heard the teacher's urgent shout: "Turn around, lean back, hold your head with both hands."

Shen Zhi couldn't help but follow the teacher's words, turned around and pressed his back tightly against the backrest in front of him, held his head against the soft cushion, and then left it to fate.

He heard bursts of terrified screams and the snapping sound of branches being broken. The school bus seemed to have turned into a huge iron block at the moment it landed, hitting the ground with amazing force.

With a loud bang, Shen Zhi's back tightened, his head hit the seat violently forward, and the pain instantly spread throughout his body. His eyes were blurred, and he felt his body floating in the air, and then he knew nothing.

After an unknown period of time, Shen Zhi woke up slowly. He felt a splitting headache, and waves of pain in his back and neck. He tried to move, but found that his body would not obey. His legs seemed to be numb, and the soles of his feet were also very painful. He twisted his body hard, trying to move his muscles and bones, and felt severe pain in his right hand. He looked around and found that his right arm had passed through the armrest of the chair and was firmly pressed inside by the bent armrest. Looking at his bloody right hand, he dared not move again.

The whole carriage was very quiet. The gentle wind outside blew through the treetops, and the leaves rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound, like waves gently hitting the beach. There was a faint groan in his ears.

The chair behind him blocked his view, and he could only shout in a hoarse voice: "Is anyone still alive?" A few weak voices came, but they were not clear. He could only carefully check his own injuries. He was very glad that he sat in the last row. Except for his arm, the others didn't seem to be serious, but the faint pain in his body showed that his five internal organs had been injured.

He took a deep breath and looked carefully at the handrail pressing on his arm. The iron handrail was completely bent and he couldn't move at all.

Suddenly, there was a sound outside the car, a sound of running, and then a crisp and anxious female voice came: "Is there anyone alive? I'll come to save you right away."

Shen Zhi heard that it was the voice of squad leader Jiang Linghan, and hurriedly shouted in a hoarse voice: "I'm here."

After a while, a pretty head appeared at the window next to Shen Zhi, and said happily: "Shen Zhi, you're okay, that's great."

Shen Zhi looked at the unharmed Jiang Linghan outside in disbelief and asked, "Why are you outside and nothing happened?"

Jiang Linghan said with excitement on his face: "I don't know. When I landed, I was anxious and wanted to reach the outside safely. Who knew that I suddenly reached the ground from the car? Can you believe it? It was teleportation. In the novel Teleportation."

What are you talking about? I'm afraid it's not a mental illness. When Shen Zhi was about to speak, Jiang Linghan disappeared and suddenly appeared next to Shen Zhi in the car. He patted his head excitedly and said, "Look, I'm in."

Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the other person in disbelief.

"How can I save you? It seems that I can't teleport with others." Jiang Linghan shouted in a hurry.

"Don't worry about me yet. I'm pinned down. You save the others first."

Jiang Linghan was about to go see other people when he said: "I just looked outside. We have definitely traveled through time. Maybe you also have special abilities. Feel it for yourself." Just as he was talking, there was a sudden scream, and then "Plop "He fell down beside Shen Zhi with a sound.
