Stray

".

In the silence of the night, the gasp was particularly harsh. The man trembled violently, his forehead covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, sliding down his cheeks and glistening in the moonlight. His hands gripped the edge of the bed as if to crush them, and the metal on the edge of the bed was twisted by his force.

He sat up slowly, his movements stiff and unnatural, as if his body was no longer his own. His eyes stared blankly ahead, his eyes full of confusion and fear. His chest heaved and heaved, and every breath was accompanied by a slight hoarse sound.

Then, his gaze fell on the metal chair beneath him. It was a bizarre scene: on the arm of the chair, a complete palm print was clearly visible, as if imprinted on the metal, deeply recessed into it. This imprint is so realistic that you can feel the texture and temperature of your palm.

The man's eyes revealed an indescribable mixture of emotions. He reached out and gently touched the palm print, his fingers running lightly over it, as if searching for something. His movements were gentle and careful, as if he were dealing with an extremely precious treasure.

He stared silently at the palm print, his thoughts beginning to churn. After the transformation, although he gained the ability to surpass ordinary people, his mind seemed to become empty and anxious. It was as if he had lost his past emotions and memories, as if he had become a cold machine. Perhaps this dream was a reflection of the fear and pain that he could not get rid of in his heart.

He understood that the horror of this dream was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Every time he woke up from a dream, his heart beat violently, as if it was about to burst out of his chest. He would always catch a glimpse of the palm print, which was clearly imprinted on the sheets, as if it were a trace of another self. The palm print, like a cruel reminder, made him unable to avoid the past that was buried deep in his heart.

He tried various ways to get out of this dream, but he always seemed to be unable to get rid of it completely. He began to wonder if the dream was portending something, like a warning from his self in another plane. The thought scared him even more because he didn't know what was wrong with him or if he would be able to cope with what was about to happen.

Every time he woke up, he would sit on the edge of the bed, silently staring at the palm print, trying to decipher the meaning. His heart was full of struggle and pain, which was the after-effect of the dream self that woke him up, as if the two of them overlapped together, and he had experienced it himself.

The man took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He understands that no matter how horrible dreams are, reality will always be more cruel than dreams. The crisis of the planet is imminent, and he must make himself stronger in order to face the challenges ahead.

He slowly got up and walked to the window. Outside the window is the dark night sky, and the stars are shining. He looked up at the starry sky, and a strong longing welled up in his heart. He longed for the future to be better, he longed for it to be like a dream, even if the horror would pass.

He knew it was a long and difficult road. But he also knows that only by bravely facing the fear and pain in his heart can he find his true self. And all of this is to protect the planet, to protect those people and things that are worth cherishing.

Time passed quietly, and the man's dream seemed like a never-ending tragedy, haunting him night and night. Every day, it was as if he was in a chaotic battlefield, and he was tormented physically and mentally. However, the strange thing is that as the strength of his body increases after each transformation, the effect of this dream on him gradually diminishes.

In his dreams, he was always in an eerie battlefield, surrounded by a heavy air of fear and despair. It was devastated and full of cold corpses. And he is the culprit of this disaster. He brandished his weapon and kept fighting, fighting, until he was exhausted. Every day when he woke up, he would see the palm print, which was imprinted on the metal, deeply dented into it, like a curse, haunting his heart all the time.

He had tried to share the dream with the people at the institute several times, hoping to get some answers or comfort. But each time, the response was nothing more than a blank look from the researcher and mechanical comfort. They always lightly classify this dream as a hallucination, citing the overactivity of the brain due to the physical pain during the transformation process. Their explanations, though simple, also gave him a touch of comfort.

In an age when life and death have become extremely simple, the study of consciousness has broken through the limits of human life. In this sci-fi setting, he became the product of this great breakthrough.

Through advanced consciousness research, mankind has mastered the secret of resurrection from the dead. This technology has changed people's perception of life and death, so that life is no longer limited by nature. And he is the beneficiary of this technology and the witness of this era.

His presence is both a miracle and a warning. He reminds people that life is no longer fragile and limited. As long as the power of consciousness is mastered, human beings can transcend life and death and achieve eternal life.

However, this eternal life does not come without a price.

He knew he had an important mission. Not only is he going to find answers for himself, but he also wants to explore a new path for humanity.

Over time, his body gradually adapted to the transformation, and his strength and endurance were greatly improved. At the same time, the nightmare faded away and never appeared in his dreams again. He began to wonder if he had completely escaped the haunting of that dream.

Earth, the mother planet of humanity, is quietly suspended in the universe. In a secret base on its surface, Qin Hao, the leader of the research institute, and other researchers were discussing intensively.

"We are nearing the end of our work and the time is ripe for the start of the program. Qin Hao's eyes flashed with determination and expectation. He stands in front of a huge display showing the various stages of the plan and the expected outcomes.

"Yes, from this data and results, we see great potential for humanity. One researcher nodded approvingly. Their faces were filled with excitement that could not be concealed, after all, this project carried too many expectations and dreams.

This plan is the brainchild of several years of their work. From the initial idea to the current implementation stage, every link has condensed the wisdom and sweat of countless people. Now, with the support of various forces, it is finally about to usher in a historic moment.

In this post-apocalyptic age, humanity needs new hope and guidance. And this plan is the firm cornerstone of their new era for mankind, and the fire of mankind should not be extinguished.
