Chapter 1 Back to 2015
They are hunters, we are prey. They wake up from the Antarctic glaciers and are now crossing the ocean, attacking us with unknown malice from ancient times.

Harbour City in July, 3:00 pm.
The cool breeze wrinkled the calm sea surface, the pomegranate trees in the yard rustled, and the fire-like sun hung in the azure sky, but the air was not hot under the slightly cool sea breeze.
Chen Che lay on a rattan chair and woke up from his nap. The palm-leaf fan in his hand covered his head, blocking the dazzling afternoon sun, narrowing his eyes, looking at the shimmering sea in the distance, and falling into deep thought.
In front of you, there is a fence with a square wooden sign hanging on it, which says: "Chenyuan Farmhouse" and the sign sways slightly in the sea breeze.
Seeing these five words, Chen Che was shocked and jumped down from the rattan chair.
He immediately looked around and saw a farmhouse yard that was familiar and vague in his memory. The yard was very clean and there were no special decorations.
"Isn't this... the mountain farmhouse in my family that went bankrupt after opening a year?"
Chen Che hurriedly touched his pocket and took out a black phone with an old style. After lit it up, he saw the time display: "July 22, 2015".
Chen Che barely remembered that he had just finished his graduation meal and had drunk a lot. He lay down and slept for a night after he got home. When he woke up, he actually returned here.
Time has reversed, and he has returned to four years before the college entrance examination just ended and the university started.
Dingling!
Not far away, a silver mountain bike slowly drove over and stopped in front of Shen Che's garden. The bike was a young girl wearing a white one-shoulder T-shirt with denim shorts. She looked at the sign of "Shenyuan Farmhouse" and asked, "Is this place where you can eat?"
Chen Che was in a daze when he had just returned from rebirth, so he didn't care about it. He was standing there in a daze.
The girl looked at Chen Che with her head tilted, and then left without asking.
Chen Che came to his senses, looked at the girl's back, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and he wondered, "Why do you look familiar? Who is this?"
In particular, the action of staring at people with his head tilted is particularly familiar... but my brain is now in a mess and I can't remember anything.
Chen Che took out his cell phone, opened the web page and checked it repeatedly, and called his mother again. A familiar voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "Chen Che, your dad and I can't go back in the past two days. You can take care of the business yourself. If you are hungry, order takeaway. Is the popular takeaway? The food is very cheap and I also send drinks... Oh yes, the accommodation in the garden is open as usual, and the room key is on the coffee table..."
After all, my mother in 2015 was four years younger. She spoke quickly and quickly on the phone, so Chen Che couldn't even interfere.
In short, after hanging up the phone, Chen Che had already confirmed that he had returned to 2015. In fashionable terms, he was "reborn."
However, when you think about this "rebirth" carefully, it is a bit terrifying.
That's right. He took the college entrance examination on June 7, 2015 and entered Harbour University on September 1 of the same year. He spent four years there and graduated on July 7, 2019. On that day, their class had a breakup meal in the hotel, had some wine that night, took a taxi home to sleep. When he woke up, he went back to 2015?
I have been together for the past four years of college and I will go through it again.
Although I have skipped classes and failed subjects in four years of college, I can't just start over and start over so hasty, right?
Standing in front of his yard, Chen Che was extremely messy, and in an instant he thought of many similar movie clips about the "time and space closed loop".
Chen Che walked to the old-fashioned well in the yard, scooped a spoonful of wells to cool down, washed his face, and became much more awake. He went to the house and opened the drawer. Sure enough, he saw the sea blue admission notice with the words "Haigang University Admission Notice". When he opened it, it was the one from that year.
Sitting down a little depressedly, the appearance of a few guys in the university dormitory appeared in my mind, "Nana", the principal of the housekeeper who had the titles of "Love Mentor" and "Mobile Love Dictionary", Han Dong, who always got up in the middle of the night to eat leftover steamed buns, Bie Yuan, the main center of the school basketball team, and Zhang Shaochen, the technical mate...
School is "re-opening" in one month, and I have to pretend not to know these guys, and then get to know each other again and do it again. When I think of this, Chen Che's mind is even more confused.
"Ding, the game "The Immortal Miner" has been sent. Please check the phone and start the game."
A message suddenly appeared in my mind.
According to the information guidance, Chen Che took out his mobile phone, lit the screen, and the familiar sliding unlock pattern that has not changed for thousands of years. Seeing the old K-mi operating interface, there was indeed a game called "The Immortal Miner".
Chen Che clicks to start the game.
【Host is logging in】
【Login successfully, soul binding is successful】
Two messages appeared in my mind. On the mobile phone screen, a pixel-style game interface appeared. There was no cutscene. Only a "little man" swung the mine shovel and dashed the ground. It looked very manic. It swung the shovel for nearly a hundred times before digging a square on the ground, but there was nothing inside.
Chen Che just looked at the little man mechanically and kept waving the mine shovels all over the ground.
After watching for a while, I didn't see any tricks. Chen Che clicked on the game instructions, which contained a brief introduction: This is a game of mining on-home, and there is no need to operate. The miners will sleeplessly on their feet. As for what they can dig, it depends on luck.
Miner: Chen Che
Age: 18
Level: Level 1
Experience value: 0/10
Reputation: 0
Mall: Not opened
[Immortal Miner] Any items produced in the game belong to the miner.
[Quota]: The game will issue a fixed amount to you every day. Only after spending the amount can you withdraw the items obtained by miners from mining. The amount can only be used for shopping, entertainment, meals, recharges and other consumption, and transfers are prohibited from being transferred and other monetization behaviors.
There are not many introductions to the game. There is no clear explanation on how to obtain "experience value", how to obtain "reputation", and how to open the mall.
Chen Che stared at the game for a while, but didn't see anything special at the moment, unless... what good things can the little miner really dig?
In the game, the miners just dig soil on the ground and have no gains.
Chen Che put down his cell phone and walked back to the yard.
This is a village in the suburbs of Haigang City. It is backed by the endless sea and mountains and facing the East China Sea. The scenery is quite good, but I have no plans and it is a relatively backward countryside.
But Chen Che knew that this situation would not last long. Haigang City classified this place as a city district in 2017 and announced that it would build a subway to the city center. As soon as the news came out, the land prices in their village immediately rose.
If rebirth brings some benefits, then this is definitely one.
Chen Che was obsessed with using his experience of being four years ahead of this era to plan his life, when he saw the silver mountain bike coming back in front of the yard. The girl asked Chen Che in the yard, "Can you stay here?"
"able."
"How much does it cost for a night?"
"How much is it..." Chen Che really forgot that the farmhouse he owned had been in a downturn in business and stopped working until 2016. It was a long time ago, and he couldn't remember how much it cost for a night, so he casually said, "About 100."
"Okay, I'll stay for three days." The owner pushed the bicycle into the yard, put the car on the car, took off the drawing board on the seat, looked at Chen Che with his head tilted, "Are you a regular homestay?"
The two faced each other. Chen Che was stunned after seeing each other's appearance, and at this moment he felt like he was struck by lightning. If he was outside just now, because he had just returned here, he was confused and did not recognize who the girl in front of him was, then now, his head was clear and he also saw the drawing board in the girl's hand, the silver "permanent" mountain bike, and the "fish tail eye" type that is very rare for Asian women...
Chen Che almost blurted out the words "Ji Wei", but he held back when he spoke, and just whispered: "I need to register my ID card."
"Here." The opposite handed over.
Chen Che took it in a hurry, turned his back, took it into the inner room, and registered with a computer.
Name: Ji Wei
Date of birth: 1996…
Address: Yinhai City, southern Jiangsu Province...
Everything is in line. Chen Che's mood can only be described as "three liters of blood vomiting". Is there really a "butterfly effect"? Otherwise, how could he meet "Ji Wei" at this point in time?
This is really Ji Wei, his girlfriend in college and a top student in the 14th Art Department of Haichuan University. If she develops normally, she and Ji Wei should not meet at the light conference at the end of 2016.
Chen Che finished registering randomly, took out his ID card and key, and looked at Ji Wei again, feeling mixed feelings.
This farm stay in his house is not large in size, with only two rooms. Chen Che opened a larger room and saw Ji Wei fiddling with her cell phone and facing her.
Click!
Ji Wei took Chen Che's photo with her mobile phone, "You look a little weird. Although you don't look like a bad person, but to be safe, I've sent your photo to my friend. Is there no objection?"
"The room fee for three days is 300 yuan, the deposit is 200 yuan, a total of 500 yuan." Chen Che tried his best to speak in a voice without emotion.
"Are there any Alipay or Micro-Bank?" Ji Wei asked.
Chen Che took out his Mi mobile phone, opened the interface, and with Alipay. The old model could not be opened after a long time, and a little fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
Facing Ji Wei, it was a really unbearable past.
At the end of 2016, the two met and were together. By the end of 2017, they broke up and fell in love for a year.
As for the reason for the breakup, Ji Wei was going abroad. But this was only the superficial reason. The real reason made Chen Che feel that he could spit out three mouthfuls of blood when he remembered it. That was revealed privately by Ji Wei's best friend. Ji Wei had a boyfriend long time ago and was studying abroad...
Now when I think back to what her best friend said, I feel very uncomfortable. I can only hope that what her best friend said is not true.
"Your cell phone is so slow." Ji Wei fanned her hands and looked at the room again. "The house is clean and the table is a bit old."
Chen Che glanced at the phone in Ji Wei's hand. Fruit 5 was quite expensive at that time. Then he looked at the hand holding the phone. His fingers were narrow and slender, as white as jade, and his wrists were as white as lotus roots.
"It's finally opened." Chen Che wiped his sweat, showed off the QR code of Alipay, and Ji Wei paid 500.
Chen Che checked the balance and was stunned again. The balance showed: 10,500 yuan.
