Chapter 1001: Disaster and Opportunity
"Really? How is this possible?" The director gripped his phone tightly, utterly refusing to believe it was true.
Just then, his phone rang; it was a call from his supervisor at the station.
As soon as the call connected, the other party asked where they were. They breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that they had already flown back to China.
"It's good that you're back. Filming is on hold. Quickly let the guests go home. You don't need to go back to the station either. Just stay home and don't wander around."
Upon hearing this, the director realized that it might actually be true. No wonder President Feng suddenly stopped filming and sent them all back; it turned out he already knew about this.
Ye Wanxi and the other girl had no prior knowledge of this matter; they didn't know about it much earlier than the others.
When they returned, they ran into Xiang Yueqi and the others who had just dealt with the mutated dog in S City.
"The spiritual energy revival has started ahead of schedule?"
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Xiao Jihui immediately perked up: "Miss Ye foresaw the spiritual energy revival..."
"Does this even need calculating?" Ye Wanxi's expression darkened. "What does Mr. Xiao think the revival of spiritual energy means?"
Xiao Jihui was stunned, and asked cautiously, "Does it mean the world will be in chaos?"
"That's one way to put it, but this chaos isn't just ours. The revival of spiritual energy means that the energy of heaven and earth is changing, yin and yang are reversed, and the universe is turned upside down. For all living beings in this world, it is both a disaster and an opportunity. But at the same time, you can also see this as the self-salvation of the land beneath our feet."
"Self-rescue?"
"Cambrian, Triassic, Jurassic... these terms must be familiar to Mr. Xiao. Every major upheaval signifies a historical shift and biological evolution."
Xiao Jihui's eyelids twitched: "You mean..."
"Why is everyone talking about the end of the world? Because many people know the immense power of nature, which is beyond human control. You are probably already well aware of all the major events that have happened in recent years without me having to tell you."
Xiao Jihui fell silent. Not to mention the distant past, in just the last few years, various places and countries have been experiencing earthquakes, tsunamis, blizzards, wildfires, mudslides, melting glaciers, sandstorms, and locust plagues.
Natural disasters came one after another, which was already overwhelming, and now this has happened...
"Miss Ye, do you have any ideas?"
Ye Wanxi shook her head: "Nature is saving itself, and so must humanity. This is something that I, or even a few people, cannot stop. No one can escape it, and no one can stop it. We can only participate."
"That……"
"This matter cannot be hidden, nor should it be hidden. Mr. Xiao witnessed it firsthand and should know the seriousness of this matter better than anyone else."
Xiao Jihui's expression changed slightly, then he nodded solemnly: "I understand. The most urgent task is to let everyone know the truth and be on guard against these things. Only in this way can we possibly survive."
"Animals are evolving, plants are evolving, and humans are evolving too."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jihui's heart skipped a beat, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes: "You mean..."
“I can tell everyone the truth, including your father.”
Just as Ye Wanxi said, this matter is different from the previous ferry incident; it cannot be hidden, nor should it be concealed.
In just one early morning, it caused extremely terrible casualties.
Even with all efforts to suppress public opinion to avoid panic, it was still impossible to stop the spread of the situation, let alone curb people's fear of the matter.
Imagine if the harmless animals and plants around you suddenly turned into sharp knives, ready to stab you in the heart at any moment. Anyone would be afraid and feel like they had thorns in their back.
Especially those who feel they are very close to danger.
I'm from City A, and I can vouch for everything in the video because I live near this neighborhood. It's a residential area in the city center. My mom woke me up around 3 or 4 a.m., and when I looked down from my apartment, I saw people from the neighboring community running out, with people specifically helping to evacuate them.
In that situation, who cared about order? Everyone was desperately pushing and shoving to get out. I was a bit confused at the time, thinking it was an earthquake or something. So many people were running out; should I run with them? Until I saw a video posted by someone from the next neighborhood—a huge mutated plant, supposedly grown by swallowing several people. It started out only half a meter long and was being raised by a resident in the next neighborhood. Who would have thought…sigh…
[I live in the next-door neighborhood. I was woken up in the middle of the night by a noise outside. I looked up and saw a huge monster lying outside my window. I was almost scared to death. Luckily, it didn't break through the window, or I probably would have been swallowed whole.]
[Waaaaah, I'm not in the city center, but a family in our village also perished. Apparently, someone climbed in through the window in the middle of the night while people were asleep and strangled them to death. Several family members, not a single one survived. Now the whole village has moved away. How could such terrifying things suddenly appear? What on earth are these things?]
[We had one here too. Apparently, even the heart was ripped out. Why are plants so ferocious after they mutate? My worldview has been completely turned upside down overnight.]
"Your plants are mutated, but ours are mutated dogs, and they're even carrying rabies. I heard they escaped from a dog meat hot pot restaurant. The owner was heartless, hiring people to catch stray dogs for hot pot. But the dog mutated and killed the owner, and also bit everyone in the restaurant. Everyone who was bitten got rabies, and nobody dared to help."
That dog was incredibly aggressive; it ran out and bit people everywhere. Our people called the police, who arrived quickly. They used stun guns and even shot it, but couldn't kill it. Finally, several tough guys, like those in the video, intervened and subdued it; otherwise, many more people would have been injured.
[My God, using a stray dog with rabies to make dog meat hot pot! This hot pot restaurant owner is utterly immoral! Aren't they afraid of infecting the people who eat there? Getting bitten to death is their own fault!]
Even if the boss deserved it, the others were innocent. Monsters like this should be killed. Not just it, but all the pet owners and plant growers should be killed too. Who knows if these things will mutate later? You pet owners don't deserve to die, but we don't want to die with you!
[What kind of idiot is that upstairs? If you're talking about mutant dogs, just say mutant dogs. Why bring up pets? According to your logic, all living things except humans should be killed, otherwise anything can mutate and anything can hurt people. Your parents and siblings could also mutate and hurt people. Should you kill them first?]
