Chapter 548 Extra - Time Rewind.
Early in the morning, Chi Yanzhou finished washing up and was preparing to go out.
As soon as I stepped into the entryway, it felt like someone had hit me on the head with a club, and a wave of dizziness washed over me!
His body staggered uncontrollably, and his back slammed against the wall with a thud, barely managing to stay upright.
A fine layer of cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead. He leaned against the wall, panting heavily. A few minutes later, the dizziness subsided.
When Chi Yanzhou opened his eyes again, his gaze was filled with vigilance and scrutiny, his muscles tensing subconsciously as he entered a state of readiness.
He quickly scanned his surroundings. Golden light streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling window, casting a warm patch of light on the carpet.
On the coffee table was a half-finished cup of coffee... Everything was neat and orderly, exuding an atmosphere of excessive comfort.
This isn't... the apartment I bought for convenience during my university years? How did I end up here?
The last memory is clearly the cessation of lightning, the dissipation of the giant curtain, and the bare branches...
He suddenly sat up straight, rushed to the balcony, and pushed open the glass door. The warm breeze, unique to a midsummer morning and carrying the fragrance of plants, rushed towards him.
The sunlight shone down without a trace of gloom, dazzling and real.
Downstairs, the meticulously maintained green belt is lush and verdant.
On the clean and tidy roads of the residential area, elderly people leisurely walk their dogs, commuters hurry to work, and vehicles drive by...
In the distance, the glass curtain walls of skyscrapers reflected shimmering golden light in the morning glow.
There were no ruins, no lingering smoke, no wandering, rotting zombies...
This is not the end of the world, there are no ruins...
Chi Yanzhou subconsciously reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.
The screen lit up as he moved, and the lock screen clearly displayed—June 25, 2055...
"Time has gone backwards?" He opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse.
It's not an illusion; the touch, the light, the sound...
He gripped the phone so tightly that his fingers turned bluish-white from the excessive force.
Nan Nan! A Ye! Ci Ge! Lao Gu... all his comrades-in-arms... his first thought was to rush out and find them immediately.
However, as soon as I stepped off the balcony: [Wait! Is it just me who has the memory, or does everyone have it?]
At this point in time, Nan Nan is still in Nancheng. We don't know each other, we don't even have each other's contact information... Brother Ci! Yes, find Lu Xici.
His fingers moved faster than his brain could process, swiping open his phone screen to find Lu Xici and dialing the number.
The instant he dialed the phone, Chi Yanzhou had already rushed out of his own front door!
He glanced at the elevator, then turned left and pushed open the metal door. A slightly cool, dusty air rushed out.
The light from the window illuminated the staircase, and he quickly stepped down the stairs, his footsteps echoing in the empty, enclosed space.
Near the university, only 'Yuntingyuan' offers large, single-level apartments, so for convenience, almost all of them bought apartments in this complex.
He and Lu Xici bought apartments in the same building, one above the other.
When Chi Yanzhou's chest rose and fell slightly as he came to a stop in front of the security door, the vibration of the phone in his palm stopped, and the call was automatically disconnected due to the long period of no response.
Chi Yanzhou repeatedly poked the doorbell button with his right hand, while simultaneously slamming his left hand on the thick door!
The doorbell rang and the knocking on the door mingled...
Inside the door.
Lu Xici was groggily sitting up from the sofa.
His head felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, especially the sides of his temples, which were throbbing with pain, making him very irritable.
[Damn... my head hurts like it's going to split open!]
Who is it?
He grabbed a T-shirt from the sofa, pulled it over his head without even looking at it, his actions full of morning grumpiness and annoyance at being disturbed.
He pulled his clothes down haphazardly, his short hair, still unruly from sleeping, shuffled to the door in a few steps, slipping on his slippers.
"Here comes the urgent call, so early in the morning! Here it comes!"
After yelling that, filled with the anger of "You better have something important to do or I'm not done with you," he twisted the lock and yanked the door open!
Swish—their eyes met.
Light streamed in from outside, illuminating Chi Yanzhou's sharply defined face.
Inside the door, Lu Xici's impatience and lingering sleepiness vanished almost instantly the moment she met those eyes.
Instead, a strange sense of unease and a gradually spreading palpitation arose.
Chi Yanzhou: "Brother Ci...you don't remember?"
This seemingly random sentence was like a key, suddenly plunging into the lock of Lu Xici's chaotic memories!
His gaze involuntarily drifted past Chi Yanzhou's shoulder and landed on the bright, clean, and empty corridor outside.
It's too clean, unrealistically clean.
Then, his gaze abruptly returned to the spacious, bright living room behind him, filled with game figurines.
A chill suddenly shot up from my tailbone to the top of my head!
"Yan, Brother Yan... how did we get here? My house... where's Nannan? Where's Aye? Where's everyone else?"
Chi Yanzhou: [As expected! Ci-ge is back too! It wasn't just his imagination...]
He suddenly raised his hand and shoved the phone he had been holding tightly in his hand directly in front of Lu Xici's eyes!
Friday, June 25, 2055...
"Brother Ci, look carefully. We're back. Time has turned back."
Lu Xici's pupils contracted sharply, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down: "How could...this be?"
"There's no time to figure out why this happened!" Chi Yanzhou waved his right hand on his phone.
"I've added Gu Qi, He Zhuo... and everyone else to the group chat, and I'm having them come to your house to meet up!"
Based on the timeline of the 'last time', the first wave of strong winds and heavy rain, traffic restrictions, and flight cancellations will begin tomorrow night!
We have less than forty hours at most!
We must check on the status of everyone else immediately!
I don't have Nan Nan's contact information; you'll have to contact her and A Ye. Let's see if everyone has returned with their memories.
After confirming, we immediately divided the tasks! I originally planned for us to fly directly to find Nan Nan and the others, but time is too tight now!
Chi Yanzhou's fist clenched unconsciously.
"So, regardless of whether Nan Nan and A Ye remember or not, you have to have her take A Ye and the uncle and aunt and transfer them all to Beijing as quickly as possible!"
We all need to stay together. Whether you remember what happened next or not, we must act immediately!
Weapons, medicine, food... all the supplies you can think of are being stockpiled, regardless of the cost!
Money is not a problem; we need to build up our initial capital for survival and resistance as quickly as possible!
Lu Xici was somewhat stunned by the barrage of orders, but his instincts honed in the apocalypse allowed him to quickly grasp the key points.
"Okay! I'll contact Nan Nan right now!"
Chi Yanzhou: "I just said that you have to arrange all of those things first, Brother Ci, I have to go home to see my grandfather."
Only he, with his status and influence, could possibly convey the seemingly absurd but actually crucial warning about the impending doom of the world to the level capable of making national decisions in the most efficient way!
We must race against time to get the entire country running at full speed before another disaster strikes!
Early warning systems, public evacuation plans, military defense construction, virus research and response measures activated... We can't waste this chance to 'come back'!
Before he could finish speaking, the phone he was clutching tightly in his palm began to vibrate incessantly!
