"I don't know if we can survive this thunderstorm." These anxious words lingered in the hearts of the people, like a heavy, oppressive cloud, making it almost impossible to breathe. People gathered together, their faces solemn, their eyes filled with worry about the unknown fate. They closed their eyes, clasped their hands together, and prayed devoutly and silently. A young mother hugged her young child tightly, her lips trembling slightly as she silently muttered, "God, please bless my child to survive this disaster safely. His life has just begun." Tears welled up in her eyes, but she fought hard to hold them back, fearing to disturb this fragile prayer. A white-haired old man, his face wrinkled with the vicissitudes of life, whispered, "I have experienced many storms. I hope this time our home can be preserved so that future generations can continue to live here." His voice was hoarse and weak, but it was filled with a deep attachment to this land. A couple held hands, their palms wet with sweat. They silently prayed, "May our love endure this test, and no matter what happens, we can continue on together." Their eyes met, conveying mutual encouragement and support. The workers put down their tools, gathered together, and prayed together, "May our efforts not be in vain, may the base withstand the thunderstorm, and may the fruits of our labor be preserved." Their rough hands clasped together, as if begging fate for mercy. The children stopped crying and joined the adults in prayer, their innocent hearts filled with the longing for survival: "May the thunderstorm pass quickly, so that we can play in the sun again." The entire base was shrouded in silence, only the faint yet sincere voices of the people's prayers drifted through the air. With anxious hearts, everyone placed their final hope in this silent prayer, hoping for a glimmer of hope in this terrible thunderstorm.
After the frantic and frantic preparations, a stifling silence descended upon the base. Everyone scattered in various corners, their gaze fixed on the increasingly terrifying purple sky, silently awaiting the arrival of the superstorm. Everyone's breathing felt heavy, as if the very air itself had become sticky. Some sat in their chairs, bodies tense, their hands gripping the armrests tightly, their knuckles white from the strain. Others paced the room, their steps clumsily, yet they dared not make any noise. Time seemed to freeze, each tick of the second hand seeming to stretch so long. Every second, which usually passed easily, now felt like an endless agony. The ticking of the wall clock was amplified in the silence, each sound like a hammer hammering against everyone's heart. Their thoughts grew confused and complex during this long wait. They reminisced about good times, worried about the impending disaster, and imagined the worst-case scenario. Each thought made their hearts race and their breathing quicken. Children huddled close to their parents, silent, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety. Parents feigned composure, gently stroking their children's hair to offer a touch of comfort, yet their own inner fear could not be concealed. Elderly people sat quietly by their windows, gazing out at the world outside, their eyes revealing a longing for life and a calmness about the unknown. They had experienced many storms, but facing this unprecedented superstorm, their hearts were inevitably filled with trepidation. Soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, their gazes fixed firmly ahead. Though their bodies remained motionless, the tension within them grew. They knew they would be the first to respond if a thunderstorm struck. Researchers guarded their instruments, their eyes fixed on the data on the screens, hoping to detect subtle changes in the data before it arrived, buying more time to react. In this seemingly endlessly stretched time, every agonizing second tested everyone's mental endurance. The superstorm, like a demon about to strike, tormented everyone with fear.
"What's coming will come, and we can only face it bravely." Xiao Yi's voice was deep and powerful, breaking the oppressive silence. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the strain, and the veins on his arms bulged. His gaze fixed firmly on the sky, his deep eyes devoid of any fear or retreat. It was as if the purple sky were a formidable enemy, and he was ready for a desperate battle. Xiao Yi straightened his back, standing like a pine tree proudly on the edge of a cliff, unbending despite the howling wind. His face was tense, his lines firm, and every subtle expression betrayed his inner resolve. The people around him, hearing his words, turned their gazes to him. In his resolute gaze, they seemed to find a glimmer of support and courage, their previously panicked hearts gradually calming. Xiao Yi remained fixed on the sky, repeating to himself over and over again: No matter how fierce the storm, no matter how thunder and lightning, I must not retreat. He wanted to hold up a sky of hope for those behind him, to lead them to bravely face this unknown challenge. The wind ruffled his hair, but he paid no mind. He stood there, fists clenched, like an unshakable mountain, ready to confront the impending superstorm with courage and determination.
As the purple hue in the sky deepened, becoming thicker and denser like insoluble ink, a heavy, oppressive feeling enveloped the entire world. The once faint purple seemed to be compressed and condensed by a mysterious and powerful force, becoming ever darker and more eerie. The wind began to howl. At first, it was a gentle whisper, as if quietly testing the limits of the world. But soon, that whisper became a furious roar, like a beast out of control, crashing through everything. The wind was sharp and piercing, like countless blades slicing through the air, sweeping up the sand and dust from the ground into swirling yellow dragons. Branches swayed violently in the wind, creaking and groaning in pain, as if threatened to be uprooted at any moment. The distant mountains became blurred in the wind, as if veiled by a thick veil. And the purple sky began to churn and surge like a pot of thick soup about to boil. A superstorm was about to sweep across the base, and a tense atmosphere permeated every corner. Buildings trembled slightly in the fierce wind, as if fearfully awaiting the oncoming blow. Windowpanes rattled in the wind, as if ready to shatter at any moment. Heartbeats raced, and breathing became rapid. They clutched at any objects nearby for stability, their eyes fixed on the increasingly terrifying scene outside. The base's defenses bore immense pressure from the raging wind, the reinforced steel beams clunking as if struggling to withstand the violent force. Stored supplies swayed and collided in the warehouses, creating a terrifying clatter. At this moment, the base faced an unprecedented test, as if pushed to the brink by fate, their fate hanging in the balance. Yet, a glimmer of determination shone in the people's eyes, as they prepared to face this thrilling storm.
