TRAVELING BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: I have a city in the end of the world

Chapter 3: Return

　　In a drawer of a certain house, Su Chen found a still-running electronic watch. The time displayed on it was 16:37 minutes and 28 seconds on June 5, 2275.
　　Except for the year, the date and time matched the time on Su Chen's phone.
　　It's just that based on the current information, it is still not possible to determine whether the time of the two space-times is synchronized.
　　Su Chen found a room to rest.
　　This room is on the second floor, and the doors and windows are closed. Although there is dust inside, it is relatively clean.
　　After checking the bathroom and wardrobe drawers to make sure they were safe, Su Chen sat on a chair to rest.
　　After running for most of the day, my body was tired and thirsty.
　　He took out a Snickers bar from his backpack, ate it to replenish his strength, and drank some water.
　　There was no food or water found in the entire village. The food and water he brought with him were the last supplies.
　　Su Chen didn't find a source of food, so he could only save it.
　　Snickers bars are very caloric. After eating one, Su Chen felt a little stronger and began to explore the reason for his time travel.
　　He remembered that before crossing over, his chest was extremely hot and he had a feeling of heart palpitations.
　　Chest?
　　Suchen opened the collar of his T-shirt and looked at his chest.
　　There is a crescent mark on his chest. This mark appeared when Su Chen was ten years old.
　　There was a rare meteor shower that day, and Su Chen joined in the fun and lay on the balcony chair to watch the meteor shower.
　　As a result, he was hit by a stone falling from the sky.
　　My chest had been hurting for several days, and suddenly there was a crescent mark.
　　Su Chen's parents thought he had some kind of tumor and were so frightened that they took him to the hospital for examination.
　　As a result, there were no problems.
　　Because this mark is not harmful to the body, gradually, even Su Chen himself started to ignore it.
　　The original mark was off-white, three centimeters wide, and was right at Su Chen's heart.
　　Because of the blood flowing from Su Chen's arm, the mark was also dyed bright red.
　　"The color is a little unusual."
　　Su Chen frowned. The other blood around him had dried up, and the color gradually darkened to brown, but the mark was still bright red.
　　He reached out and pressed the mark carefully.
　　When his hand rested on the mark, a stream of information poured into his mind.
　　Bound person: Su Chen
　　Level: lv. 1
　　Shuttle time: 72h (cooling down)
　　Storage space: 1 cubic meter.
　　Su Chen didn't know which planet's civilization technology this belonged to, nor how to explain its principles.
　　But he knew that this mark was an important prop that caused him to travel through time and space.
　　Because of the blood gene, the imprint is bound to Su Chen.
　　In addition to the function of traveling through time and space, this mark also functions as a storage space.
　　But currently it’s only one cubic meter.
　　If he had known about this function, Su Chen wouldn't have thrown away the 470,000 yuan.
　　After his parents passed away, Su Chen was now a poor college student.
　　The five hundred thousand yuan was all taken out after he mortgaged his family's old house.
　　However, Su Chen didn't dwell on it for too long and quickly let it go.
　　When searching several houses in the village just now, Su Chen found a lot of gold jewelry.
　　It's just that Su Chen didn't know that he could travel back in time, so he didn't bring these heavy objects with him.
　　After Su Chen had rested, he would collect these things and take them back to sell them, which would be enough to make up for the loss of 470,000 yuan.
　　He tried using it and confirmed that it could indeed be stored, and then put some things in it.
　　To be on the safe side, he still kept a compass and a few Snickers bars on him. Su Chen also carried the water bottle with him and did not put it in the storage space.
　　If the space fails, he will not starve to death because of it, and the compass can also point out the direction for Su Chen in the desert, so that he will not lose his sense of direction.
　　The shuttle time cooldown is 72 hours, which is three days.
　　When Su Chen first crossed over, he checked the time. It was 9:50 in the morning, and now it's almost 5:00 in the afternoon.
　　If you want to shuttle back, you have to stay here for more than two days.
　　However, since this mark has a level display, it means that it can be upgraded.
　　I don’t know if the cooldown time will be shortened or the storage space will be expanded after upgrading.
　　However, Su Chen is currently trapped here and is still injured, so he cannot explore how to upgrade this mark.
　　In the next two days, Su Chen did not leave the village.
　　There were unknown amounts of mutated animals and plants outside. Su Chen didn't have any equipment, not even enough food and water. He couldn't go far at all.
　　If there was no mark to travel through time and space, Su Chen would still risk venturing into the desert.
　　But now he decided to wait for the cooling time and come back to explore the desert when he was fully prepared.
　　When Su Chen was sleeping, he would turn on the recording function of his mobile phone and put it on the windowsill to record what was going on outside.
　　He found that there were more zombies, animals and plants outside at night. On one occasion, Su Chen also saw a three-meter-long alien monster like a large lizard.
　　This thing is extremely fast and can reach nearly ten meters in one jump.
　　In just two breaths, he disappeared from the camera.
　　To the naked eye, it quickly turned into a black shadow. Su Chen also paused the screen to see clearly what this thing looked like.
　　Fortunately, it was daytime when Su Chen traveled through time. If it were night, he would not be able to escape if he encountered this kind of alien species while walking outside.
　　However, the insect repellent spray was still effective. Su Chen sprayed the insect repellent spray in front of the villa where he lived. The alien lizard was obviously irritated by the smell of the potion and sped away as he passed by.
　　For two days, Su Chen stayed in the room as much as possible to reduce physical exertion and consumed very little food and water.
　　By the third day, the cooling of the mark had been restored, and Su Chen was sure that he could travel. Then he ate biscuits and Snickers bars to replenish his energy, and went out to continue exploring the village and collecting valuable items in the house.
　　Now he can travel at any time, and if any danger occurs, he can leave in time.
　　After the trip, Su Chen only collected some gold, silver and gems.
　　In fact, there are also more valuable ones, such as those home appliances that look very advanced, or some very exquisite works of art and paintings.
　　It's just a pity that the former cannot be used. Su Chen doesn't know the technology and can't dismantle it.
　　The latter is because it is too big and the storage space is only one cubic meter, which cannot be accommodated.
　　Moreover, artworks also require the fame of the author, so taking back the Blue Star may not necessarily result in a high price.
　　Gold, silver and gemstones are reliable, not only valuable but also easy to sell.
　　After collecting the items, Su Chen was ready to return.
　　In the past two days or so, Su Chen has figured out the general usage of the shuttle mark.
　　It is possible to locate when traveling through time and space.
　　If the coordinates are not set, Su Chen will directly return to the location before traveling.
　　Just because the mark level is low, the location that can be located can only be within a hundred meters of the location when crossing.
　　In the future, as the level increases, perhaps this range can become wider.
　　Su Chen was in mid-air before traveling back through time, so he must adjust his coordinates when traveling back this time.
　　Otherwise, he would do a free fall when he puts it back on.
　　Then it’s Barbie Q.
　　Su Chen was well prepared when he went to Xiaolang Mountain. He had an accurate map of Xiaolang Mountain on his phone, so he could also calculate a safer return location.
　　I returned to the relatively safe room where I had rested for three days.
　　Su Chen is back.
　　Su Chen chose a relatively remote place at the foot of Xiaolang Mountain to ensure that no one would bump into him when he returned.
　　Su Chen's calculation was very accurate. When he returned, he was on the ground to avoid the possibility of falling into pieces.
　　"Huh~"
　　Looking at the green mountains and trees around him, Su Chen's heart had been hanging for two days and finally fell.
　　In that desolate place, where only zombies and alien species appeared, God knows how Su Chen survived these days.
　　Coming out of the mountain forest, Su Chen walked on the road out of the mountain and prepared to go down the mountain.
　　"Su Chen?!"
　　Not long after Su Chen left, he ran into a pair of policemen headed by He Mingliang.
　　A group of people looked at Su Chen blankly, feeling a bit like Su Chen, but they were not sure.
　　Su Chen stayed in the desert for three days. Water resources were tight in the desert. Su Chen had to save water to drink, let alone take a bath.
　　At this time, Su Chen had unkempt hair, a gray face, and a lot of dried blood on his body.
　　He looked even more embarrassed than the homeless man on the street.
　　It’s no wonder that He Mingliang and the others didn’t dare to confirm.
　　"Officer He?"
　　Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the person coming.
　　He Mingliang was the police officer in charge of the case of Su Chen's parents. Because there was no evidence to doubt the case, the case was eventually closed as an ordinary car accident.
　　Obviously Su Chen didn't expect to meet him here.
　　"Su Chen, it's really you!"
　　Hearing the voice, they were sure it was Su Chen. A group of people rushed in front of Su Chen. They looked at Su Chen who was still standing alive, with happy and complicated expressions.
　　He Mingliang looked at the embarrassed Su Chen in front of him with a complicated look on his face. He wanted to say something, but he had some scruples. He held it in for a long time and only said, "As long as everything is okay."
　　"Officer He, why are you here?"
　　Su Chen glanced at the group of uniformed police officers behind He Mingliang and showed a confused look.
　　Especially with so many people.
　　"Don't you know? I'm going crazy looking for you outside!"
　　When a young police officer next to He Mingliang heard this, thinking that they had been searching in this mountain for two days without sleep, he couldn't help but complain in his tone of voice.
　　They worked so hard to find him, but Su Chen actually thought it was nothing.
　　"Xiao Zhao!"
　　He Mingliang frowned, glared at young police officer Xiao Zhao, and scolded him.
　　Officer Xiao Zhao thought about Su Chen's situation, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and lowered his head with some annoyance.
　　"As long as everyone is fine, go down the mountain first. You must be injured. Go to the hospital first."
　　He Mingliang took Su Chen down the mountain without asking or saying anything.
　　On the way, Su Chen made some inquiries and found out what happened during the two days he left for the other world.
　　Things went back three days to the time when Su Chen fell off the cliff.
　　Because Kong Qizhi was injured, Zhao Sheng rushed him to the hospital and left in a hurry.
　　As for Su Chen, Zhao Sheng watched him fall with his own eyes. From that height, he didn't think Su Chen was still alive.
　　So Zhao Sheng withdrew the rhythmic navy troops, and the voices of some people who knew Su Chen on the Internet were also seen by the public.
　　Netizens who had been criticizing Su Chen before found out that Su Chen's parents had died in a car accident not long ago.
　　Everyone thinks that he was too shocked and mentally disturbed, so he suddenly did those things.
