"Tongshan City, formerly Pixian County..." Meng Zhiyuan read it aloud, feeling that it sounded somewhat familiar.
"Several villages have lost contact, such as Long Village and Gang Village..."
“Gangcun?!” Meng Zhiyuan’s pupils contracted.
"Yes, I don't know what the situation is now. I heard it's quite serious. In the central area, it's not just the houses that are cracked, the ground itself is cracked..."

The entire set fell silent, and He Tong remained silent as well.
"Don't worry, I'll go pick you up from the TV station." He Tong then remembered that Meng Zhilian had a variety show to record today.
