On the day when the sky split, Chen Mo was distracted in the last row of the classroom.
What fell from the crack was not rain, but an orange-red puppy - covered in wounds and with smoke coming out of its mouth.
It glanced at him and crawled into his arms. The world changed in that moment.
There are large rock snakes walking outside the building, spearbirds hunting on the streets, and the city sky is shrouded in golden mist. The old order is broken.
Some people robbed, some ran away, and some knelt down. Chen Mo hugged this fire-breathing puppy and plunged into the new world.
——Later someone asked him: How did you survive?
He thought for a moment and said, "I didn't choose it. It chose me."
