Late at night, a topic #Large-scale earthquake in southern China# quietly climbed to the top of the hot search list on Weibo.
Under this topic, there are reports of suspected earthquakes in local areas posted by netizens from many parts of the country.
[Earthquake?] My home is on the 17th floor and it seems to be shaking! 】
[It shook for a while just now, but I only felt it vaguely. I don’t know if it was an illusion...]
[What a coincidence, I was just chatting with my bestie and told her that there seemed to be an earthquake where I was. She also said that there seemed to be a shake there for a while. We are both in different provinces. Where did this earthquake happen? The impact area is too large, isn't it? 】
Because the range of the tremors was so wide, it really didn't seem like an ordinary earthquake. When southern netizens on the Internet were surprised to find that "I had an earthquake, you had an earthquake, and his family also had an earthquake," it quickly generated a huge amount of discussion on the Internet.
Fortunately, although the earthquake affected a large area, it lasted for a short time and the shaking was light. The only person injured by the earthquake was a friend who sprained his ankle because he was in a hurry to rush out of the house.
Since there were no serious consequences, most people didn't take it seriously.
The only question is, where is the epicenter of this earthquake and why is the impact range so large?
After the Earthquake Information Network released the final earthquake information and confirmed that the epicenter was in the waters of Taiwan, netizens felt more relieved.
After all, this is Taiwan's sea area with dozens of earthquakes a year. The only difference is that the magnitude of this earthquake seems to be higher, but the shaking does not seem to be obvious on Taiwan Island.
So, this is probably an earthquake that is large in magnitude but relatively close to the mainland and does not have much impact on Taiwan?
After figuring this out, almost everyone relaxed.
On the Internet, the topic #Large-scale earthquake in southern China# gradually lost its attention and disappeared quietly from the hot search list.
The headquarters of the Special Management Bureau is still in the meeting room during the day.
Compared to the relaxed crowd on the Internet, the atmosphere in the conference room was much more solemn.
The conference room was still filled with the same senior executives who had been in meetings during the day. In addition, the large remote conference screens in the conference room had all been turned on, and the heads of the special management bureaus in the cities affected by the earthquake had all joined the meeting and were reporting the current monitoring results in various places one by one.
"An abnormal energy field was detected at 22:59:17 in Province Z, lasting for 17 seconds."
"An abnormal energy field was detected at 22:59:19 in J Province, lasting for 13 seconds."
"An abnormal energy field was detected at 22:59:13 in Province G, lasting for 21 seconds."
…
In the silent conference room, the only thing that could be heard was the monitoring results reports from the heads of various provinces and cities. Huo Ling was among them, reporting the real-time monitoring results of the energy field in S City.
After all the responsible persons of the regions involved had reported, the person in charge of the Special Management Bureau headquarters slowly spoke: "From now on, in the areas where the abnormal energy field monitoring lasts for 15 seconds or more today, the energy monitoring core power will be fully turned on, and the entire area will be on alert to prevent the emergence of new world energy contact."
After a pause, the sixty-year-old head of the Special Management Bureau headquarters spoke solemnly: "All official members of the Special Management Bureaus in each region are on alert. When necessary, at all costs, do your best to wipe out the invasive species!"
!
All the persons in charge attending the meeting were silent for a moment, and then responded solemnly.
At all costs.
Everyone here knows the weight behind this statement.
This means that if an accident occurs, the mission must be completed even if it costs your life.
Since the emergence of the World of All Heavens, the headquarters has not issued an order of "at all costs" for nearly 4 years.
You know, even after the outbreak of the spiritual energy tide, the number of people with special abilities has skyrocketed, but the number of people who can pass the trial of the world and be absorbed into the special group is still severely scarce.
Each city, after three or four years of careful development, has only managed to develop a core team of 10 to 20 people. The members of these teams still have great potential that has not been fully tapped, and they still have a bright future ahead of them...but all of this cannot withstand the order of 'at all costs'.
That night, the meeting at the Special Management Bureau headquarters lasted until dawn.
A series of orders were issued to various departments, and a series of rationed materials were sent to different regions overnight.
All regions also began to follow the instructions from the headquarters, turning on the energy monitoring cores at full power, and waiting in dull and silence for the arrival of the second wave of world energy impact.
Huo Ling and Su Huaisheng did not rest for the whole night. As a member of the special service team dispatched to S City by the headquarters, Su Huaisheng was of course qualified to participate in the meeting that night. After the meeting, Huo Ling and Su Huaisheng did not look very happy.
“Too fast.”
Huo Ling had a gloomy face and a frown on his face.
"The frequency of invasions from alien worlds is increasing. It's already difficult for us to deal with the ferocious beasts from alien worlds, and a new world is coming..."
Huo Ling sneered: "God is too cruel to this world."
Su Huaisheng also seemed very silent, but he still said after a moment: "There will be a glimmer of hope."
Huo Ling did not deny what he said.
"Yes, there is a glimmer of hope."
"But when the real turning point comes, what will this world look like? The end of the world, a wasteland... and the surviving humans who are barely surviving?"
Huo Ling suddenly stood up from his seat, turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the Special Management Bureau's office on the 33rd floor and looked out.
Outside the window, the sun has risen, and the roads are filled with city traffic and crowds of people. Ordinary people are unaware of the crises hidden behind this world. They work calmly and happily from nine to five, enjoying their own life.
"A world like this shouldn't be destroyed like this."
“Where will the new singularity of human destiny be?”
When Huo Ling walked to the bed, Su Huaisheng also calmly followed him to the floor-to-ceiling window. The two brothers were not at loggerheads as they had been when they first met. They just quietly looked at the ordinary world outside the window.
9:30am
The few employees of Nanxing Studio arrived at the studio one after another. The first to arrive was Wei Nanxing's childhood friend Zhuo Xiaotian. After opening the door of the studio, he was surprised to find that Wei Nanxing was sitting in front of his computer, seemingly processing something.
"Wow, Old Wei, the sun rises from the west today. Why do you get up so early?" Zhuo Xiaotian teased his childhood friend, and then handed the breakfast he usually brought for him to Wei Nanxing.
"Well, yes, thanks." Wei Nanxing took the soy milk bun for breakfast, opened the paper bag slowly, took the bun in his hand and started to eat it. After taking a few bites, he slowly drank a sip of soy milk.
Zhuo Xiaotian had already reached his seat when he turned around and saw Wei Nanxing eating slowly. He then realized something was wrong.
"Old Wei, you look like a ghost. Did you not sleep last night?"
"Yeah, it's okay."
Wei Nanxing stared at the computer while twisting his neck. After eating the soy milk and buns, the discomfort from staying up all night seemed to have eased.
"Nothing?" Zhuo Xiaotian frowned and said angrily, "Nothing at all, Lao Wei, go lie down and have a good sleep. What's so urgent that you have to stay up all night?"
"Well, that's it..." Wei Nanxing waved his hand, nonchalantly: "How many of you gamers haven't stayed up all night?"
Zhuo Xiaotian rolled his eyes: "I didn't stay up all night!"
…
Wei Nanxing looked at his childhood friend with a sad face: "You didn't stay up all night because the studio is poor and can't afford the overtime wages for you to stay up all night."
"So you just cook it yourself?"
Just as the two were talking, Wilson Su also arrived at the studio, smiled, and asked them what was going on. Zhuo Xiaotian's voice could be heard outside the door.
"Brother Su, you're here?" Zhuo Xiaotian had no way to deal with his childhood friend, so he turned to Su Huaisheng for help: "You don't know, Lao Wei stayed up all night working again last night. I don't know what he was working on. Let him go back to his room and rest for a while."
"Hmm?" Su Huaisheng keenly caught a key piece of information in Zhuo Xiaotian's words and raised his eyebrows: "Last night?"
"Yes, when I just came, he looked very sleepy." Zhuo Xiaotian said.
Listening to the conversation between Su Huaisheng and Zhuo Xiaotian, Wei Nanxing sighed and said hello to Su Huaisheng.
After asking, Wei Nanxing seemed to suddenly remember something, so he smiled and said, "Brother Su, the game will be launched online for public testing as quickly as possible in the next two days. It may affect your previous operation plan. I'd like to trouble you to make urgent adjustments here."
Zhuo Xiaotian was stunned again when he heard this: "No, Lao Wei, what's wrong with you? The game is online ahead of schedule?"
"The publicity and preheating are not done well. If it is launched at this time, the popularity will be several points lower than planned, right? Don't be crazy, we worked hard to make a game, most of your wealth is in it, if this game fails, can our studio still survive?"
He really didn't expect that Wei Nanxing hadn't slept all night and came up with this idea in the morning.
Zhuo Xiaotian immediately pushed Wei Nanxing and said, "No, Old Wei, you must have stayed up all night and become stupid. Go get some sleep before you come out. I'm afraid you'll make an irrational decision and regret it later!"
However, no matter how Zhuo Xiaotian objected, Wei Nanxing remained steadfast.
This was the scene that the other two people in the studio saw when they came in.
Wei Nanxing looked at Su Huaisheng with a smile, while Su Huaisheng stood not far away in silence.
What's going on?
Lin Chengming and Ning Chuxia consciously kept silent, waiting for the conversation to end.
For some reason, Su Huaisheng's mind flashed through Huo Ling's question an hour ago - where is the new singularity of human destiny?
A new twist on destiny?
Thinking of this, Su Huaisheng smiled self-deprecatingly.
Even if Wei Nanxing is really Beichen, what is to be released now is just a mobile game produced by Beichen.
He actually associated it with the singularity of human destiny... Maybe he didn't sleep all night and was too exhausted.
After a while, Su Huaisheng looked at Wei Nanxing and said with a smile: "Go online ahead of time? Of course there is no problem."
