After the exam, there was a tense session of listening to the scores. Professor Dong was very confident about his own and his two children's scores, and he could sleep very soundly.

Both of them had gone through three years of college entrance exams and five years of mock exams, so they didn't think such a simple exam was a big deal. Only Xingxing was a naughty kid. She was always jumping around, asking her grandpa, then her fifth uncle, then running into Li Chengrang's room to mess around. When the adults got angry, she would ask them to predict her test scores. When no one paid attention, she would continue to act naughty. She was 18 years old and didn't act like a grown-up girl at all, leaving everyone in a state of confusion.

About half of the people who had taken the exam left the space, bringing children and the elderly with them. It's safe to say that most of them made it out. A small number of people were still maintaining production within the space, and the rest were logistics support personnel. Because most of the people returning to the village brought children with them, some classes in kindergartens, elementary schools, and middle schools were suspended and switched to large classes. Those who hadn't left the space continued their classes in the large classrooms.

A year before the Tangshan earthquake, the reborn Dong Guanliang met with his daughter and son-in-law to discuss the impending disaster. He predicted, "A massive earthquake will strike Tangshan City, Hebei Province, potentially reaching a magnitude of 7.8, resulting in an estimated loss of over 200,000 lives." This disaster would devastate the entire city—it would be reduced to ruins, and the tremors would be felt even as far away as Kyoto!

The horrific earthquake ripped through the land like an apocalypse, leaving devastation and unbearable devastation everywhere it passed. Countless lives were lost in an instant, and the nation mourned. The Ministry of Public Security urgently mobilized national forces to rush to the disaster area for rescue operations, but due to insufficient resources, many people were tragically buried in the rubble. The air was filled with the sickening stench of corpses, as if the entire world was shrouded in death.

Even for Dong Guanliang, who had long since become indifferent to life and death, this experience was an indelible nightmare. For a whole year after his retreat from the front lines, he couldn't sleep peacefully. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would see the images of those who had once had a glimmer of hope but ultimately perished. These images haunted him, tormenting him.

According to the normal timeline, this terrible earthquake would not have struck for several years. However, now everything was unusual! Not only had the movement been suddenly brought forward, but even the highly anticipated college entrance examination was also held early. This begged the question: would the earthquake in Tangshan also arrive earlier than expected? Faced with such a bizarre and unpredictable situation, they knew they could not take action easily.

First, anonymously submitting notes to relevant government departments is unwise. Regardless of whether the government would believe this information, they understand, from a perspective of competence and responsibility, that events of such historical significance are beyond the control of a single individual. After all, attempting to alter the course of history often leads to unforeseen consequences. As Professor Dong once saw, the heroine Ruoxi in the time-travel drama "Startling by Each Step," starring Liu Shishi, believes that understanding history can change everything. But how can the fate of a nation be easily shaken by one individual?
