Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 46 Space Changes
Two days later, at the Dijing Qinghe Alliance Office.
"How is it? Is there any news?" Li Cheng, the chief alliance officer, asked Qiu Man, who had a serious face.
Qiu Man hesitated for a moment, "The news given by the Zhang family is the end of the world."
Although Chief Alliance Officer Li had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked when he heard the confirmed news. "Do you think the Zhang family's news is reliable?"
"I'm not sure, but there's no reason for them to lie to me."
"Tell me more specifically."
"Zhang's daughter said that she started having dreams in October last year, and the dreams foreshadowed the end of the world..." Qiu Man told Chief Alliance Officer Li exactly what he heard.
"Global rainfall will not come until the second half of the year. What about this year's food? There will still be drought in half a year..." Chief Alliance Officer Li murmured after hearing this, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
Chief Alliance Officer Li was silent for more than half an hour, until he suddenly came to his senses and found Qiu Man was still waiting in his office. "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. You go back first, and the secretary will notify you of the meeting time later."
Qiu Man nodded and left. Then Chief Alliance Officer Li asked his secretary to notify the senior staff to hold a meeting at 10 o'clock the next morning.
That night, the entire Qinghua Kingdom was engulfed in lightning and thunder.
At ten o'clock in the evening, a sharp sword cut through the night sky. The shining arc cut all the way down from the clouds to the edge of the sky, illuminating the crying sky.
Then, thunder roared, as if it was going to shatter the whole world. The sound of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning intertwined together, like a battlefield where two armies were fighting.
Bi Qiaoan turned off the power of all the electrical appliances in the house, turned off the lights, moved a small stool to the balcony, held a bowl of cherries in his hand, looked at the night sky and enjoyed the scenery.
Chen Yanming disliked Bi Qiaoan's small stool, so he directly released a double swing chair from the space, hugged Bi Qiaoan, and leaned against the soft cushion.
Bi Qiaoan looked out the window and asked Shen Yanming, "You said, is lightning only seen in Haishi, or is it seen all over the world?"
Shen Yanming was browsing Weibo, "It's not just Hai City that has thunder and lightning. Judging from the feedback from netizens, probably all the cities that are cloudy today will have thunder and lightning."
Bi Qiaoan curled her lips, picked up a cherry and fed it to Shen Yanming, "It's amazing, it's raining all over the world, thundering all over the world, and electric discharges all over the world, oh!"
Shen Yanming rubbed Bi Qiaoan's head with his cheek and comforted him: "This is a necessary process for human beings. Maybe if we can get through it, we can usher in a new era."
"Um!"
Bi Qiaoan felt a little bored after watching for a while, "Honey, I feel so bored. You said that I can feel bored even though we have electricity and internet now. How will I live in the future when there is no electricity and internet?"
"How about we download some TV series, novels, and variety shows? We have space and can charge our batteries there."
"Well, you have a point!"
Bi Qiaoan took Shen Yanming's phone and clicked on the hottest variety show at the moment, "Watch it with me?"
"good!"
The one hour and forty minute variety show was full of laughter and finished quickly. By the time Bi Qiaoan turned off the video player, it was almost twelve o'clock.
"It seems like there hasn't been any lightning for a while?"
"Well, it should be almost over!" Shen Yanming stood up and opened the window a crack. The humid air from outside instantly rushed into the room. Shen Yanming shuddered all over and looked at Bi Qiaoan in shock.
Bi Qiaoan quickly got up and walked to Shen Yanming's side, feeling it carefully, and seeing Shen Yanming's eyes flickering, he said uncertainly: "Yanming, I feel that the space is vibrating, as if there is something it urgently needs."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Me too, I thought it was just an illusion."
The two looked at each other and decided to go out and check.
Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming went out in their pajamas and slippers, carrying an umbrella. The closer they got to the door, the stronger the vibration in the space became.
Chen Yanming held an umbrella in one hand and rushed into the rain holding Bi Qiaoan in the other. As soon as they walked into the rain, they felt a sense of urgency surrounding them.
Bi Qiaoan stretched out his right hand, and drops of rain fell into his palm. Bi Qiaoan felt a shock all over his body, "It's rain. I feel that the space needs rain."
Shen Yanming also stretched out his palm to feel it. Sure enough, after the raindrops fell on his body, it seemed as if something was flowing into his body, and Shen Yanming instantly felt comfortable all over.
So, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan found a secluded corner in the community, put down their umbrellas, and lay on their backs to be baptized by the rain.
It was not until two hours later, when Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were soaked, that they felt the urgency disappear.
When they got home, it was already 2:30 in the morning. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took a hot bath and changed their clothes.
"Let's go into the space and take a look first?" Bi Qiaoan hugged Shen Yanming's waist, tilted her little face up and smiled, and took him into the planting space without waiting for Shen Yanming to speak.
I saw the white mist around the planting space spread outward a lot, and the white mist above my head also dissipated, revealing the blue sky.
"Blue? How can there be a sky?" Bi Qiaoan murmured, "Is this a small world?"
Shen Yanming also found it amazing, "Maybe it's some secret realm, we just got the key to enter it."
"Hey, it's not important, dear, can you feel whether there are any changes in the storage space?"
Shen Yanming probed into the space with his consciousness and found that the changes inside were like the planting space. The area became larger and the blue sky was revealed. "It's the same as here. I didn't expect that the space would change so much after getting caught in the rain."
Bi Qiaoan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Maybe the rain today is a little different. I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future."
Shen Yanming smiled and joked, “If there is, I’ll have to prepare a small stool for you.”
Bi Qiaoan pouted, puffed up her cheeks, and rolled her eyes at Chen Yanming, "Yeah, yeah, my legs are sore after standing for two hours. You don't know, I wanted to move a small stool directly from the space, but I didn't dare. I was really tired. If you hadn't pulled me, I would have wanted to lie on the ground!"
Shen Yanming hugged Bi Qiaoan and kissed her on the top of her head, "Even if we have to get wet in the rain, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and get sick!"
The next day, in the Imperial Capital Qinghe Alliance meeting room.
This is a meeting that may concern the fate of mankind. The thirteen top bosses have serious expressions and are waiting for the meeting to begin.
Chief Alliance Officer Li Cheng brought Qiu Man into the conference hall on time and sat at the first seat. Qiu Man followed Chief Alliance Officer Li's gesture and sat in the empty seat to the right of Chief Alliance Officer Li, which was specially reserved for him by the secretary.
Seeing that the participants looked serious, General Alliance Officer Li got straight to the point, "I'm sure everyone has some thoughts about today's meeting. Why don't you share them first?"
"As far as I know, governments around the world have not received any definite news so far, and scientists have also said after research that this is just normal rainfall."
"Yes, it's obviously very abnormal, but judging from the research data, it seems to be extremely normal."
"What I see most on the Internet is apocalypticism, but how is that possible?"
