An Outsider

Three-dimensional image

When he opened his eyes, he first saw the blue tent ceiling.

"You're awake, don't move, let me check." A female voice rang in his ears, followed by a white woman with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a white doctor's coat, appearing in his field of vision.

He stared blankly at her, not knowing how to react.

“You fainted from being poisoned by the Ladenvi. But fortunately, your subordinates carried you back here in time. You recuperate well, in another two days you will be able to walk on the ground, I have other patients, I will leave first." The female doctor said.

 "Oh, okay, thank you." Lucio said.

 "You're welcome." She smiled sweetly, then put her hands into the pockets of her white coat and walked out of the tent with quick steps.

Seeing the female medic leave, Lucio shifted his gaze again and stared at the tent roof in deep thought. Now while this period, he must sort out his thoughts. First, he confirmed that he had traveled to a completely new world.

When he turns to look, several of the "ward" curtains are open, and he can see the patients laying on the bed. His bed is at the opposite end of the tent. Every single one of them was a soldier and wore the same uniform, even the men and women who were white, black, and yellow. This army... what kind is it? Men and women of various races? Is this the America I know and love? However, he is unaware of any mixed-gender army in the United States of America.

By the way, language and writing are the only things he has here, and since this body's brain has a natural language instinct, understanding them is also thought to save him a great deal of effort. But he took careful note of the language being used, always feeling that it shared some characteristics with English on Earth and combined elements of German and Dutch, suggesting that it belonged to the Indo-European language family's western branch of the Germanic language family. To someone familiar with English or German, this language is not foreign and is easy to pick up.

 At this moment, he has listed survival as the highest matter. He is now in the midst of the army, and amid the army on a mission. How can he, who knows nothing, save his life under the heavy danger? He doesn't have time to learn, to slow down to understand the world, the only thing he can do at the moment is to absorb all the information he can get around as soon as possible, to put together a survival strategy.

He was not able to get anything, and he almost died when he came up. The original owner of this body had the same name as himself, and although the body's appearance was a cosmetic version of his own, it was also his own, so it's not surprising that he came through.

When the female doctor gave him the mirror, he noticed that he was wearing a bracelet-like object on his right wrist. It looked simple and smooth, translucent, light blue, the invisible clasp is very strong, wear tightly clasped on the wrist, no gap can be seen, looks very beautiful. The entire bracelet looked like it was made of crystal, and inside it flowed a string of dark blue data, which, upon closer inspection, could be found to be various natural base indices such as date, time and temperature, oxygen content, and geographical coordinates.

These were all units of measurement on Earth that he was very familiar with, especially the coordinates of latitude and longitude, which excited him a little. It looked like no surprise that the science and technology of this world coincided with the Earth. 

 But he had at least a lot of information based on this string of data. What year, month and day are it now, what direction is he in now, knowing this, his heart is at least a little more stable. However, regarding the geographical coordinates, he does not know where.

 He observed for a few more moments and quickly found the only touch button. As soon as he touched it, a four-square holographic hover screen appeared above his wrist, startling him.

The holographic hover screen displayed his basic personal information, name, age, birthday, place of origin, height, weight, circumference, heart rate index, blood pressure index, and personal three-dimensional image. In addition, his unit affiliation, military rank, and military service were all recorded.

 Name: Lucio

 Age: 28

 Birthday: 97/2/30

 Camp: Neutral

 On the side of the personal information screen, there was also a series of selection boxes that showed troop information, mission information, mailbox, address book, live call, and search. There were three unread emails in the mailbox, so he ignored them and tapped directly into search, and when the search box popped up, his hand trembled.

Two by two, people with different personalities and values are grouped into orderly and chaotic groups depending on how closely they adhere to rules and order, good and evil groups based on how generally good and bad are perceived, and the gray area of neutral qualities. Eventually, nine groups of people have been created. Could it be that this universe translated the settings from the game into reality based on how this thing appeared on his profile?

 Although puzzled, he did not bother with it for the time being but continued to browse through the messages that followed. After reading it, he had a general understanding of the army's establishment.

 It was networked, so it seemed he wouldn't be confused about the world anymore.

Lucio spent nearly three hours lying on the bed to check the message of this world. The expression on his face changed several times, from confusion to shock to disbelief, and finally accepted the truth with a gloomy face.

Although he was unsure if this was a parallel universe, he was aware that the planet he was on right now had a history that stretched back to 2022, the year he had once lived, and that it was not Earth. This world was like in 2038, just before a devastating global nuclear war.

He was sure of one thing, he might have traveled to the future, the future of the Earth.
