Chapter 19 The End of the World
Xu Zhaoxin wanted to disappear from the scene immediately.
The last person who disobeyed Duan Haiping was the chairman of a multinational company. The
middle-aged man in his fifties, with a lot of money and a happy family, was in his prime.
However, because he rejected Duan Haiping's invitation to cooperate, it was revealed within a few days that the product additives did not meet international health standards, and the company's credibility was seriously affected.
The multinational company's stock price plummeted, and the companies that cooperated with it defected one after another, the capital chain broke, and the economic losses that followed reached a terrifying number.
To make matters worse, this multinational company is an unlimited liability company registered overseas. As the largest shareholder and chairman, he needs to pay the part of the company's total assets that is insufficient to pay off the debts.
How glorious that man was then, how miserable he is now, from heaven to hell.
It is said that because he could not afford the huge debt, his wife and children left him, and he collapsed and committed suicide.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoxin trembled and advised Liu Jianan: "Don't be stubborn, Mr. Duan is doing this for your own good."
Liu Jianan looked at the man with a gloomy face on the screen of her mobile phone, and there was a little more imperceptible tenderness in her beautiful peach blossom eyes: "Duan Haiping, we will meet sooner or later, wait for me, okay?"
Duan Haiping remained silent, his face still ugly.
Liu Jianan continued to talk to himself: "Change your lamp when you have time, it's too dim. Don't always draw the curtains, it's not ventilated, it's easy to get sick."
Duan Haiping's forehead veins popped up, his figure was not clear due to the light problem, and there seemed to be a surge of murderous intent in his looming starry eyes.
Just when Xu Zhaoxin thought that the boss was going to say something cruel like Tianliang Wangpo.
But Duan Haiping only said two words: "Nonsense!" and hung up the video call.
Xu Zhaoxin:?
That's it?
Doesn't he look stupid for being so nervous for so long?
"Okay, I've done what I promised you. It's your turn to fulfill your promise with Yang Shu."
Liu Jianan was not very happy about being hung up, and there was a hint of urging in his tone.
Xu Zhaoxin responded blankly, then reacted and questioned: "How dare you talk to the boss like that? Do you know who he is? Do you know how cruel his methods are?"
Liu Jianan knew, of course, that the novel described it in great detail, almost as if he had seen it in person.
However: "Where is he?"
Xu Zhaoxin thought without hesitation: "Kyoto!"
Liu Jianan: "What about me?"
Xu Zhaoxin: "We are in Yuncheng, of course."
"He and I are tens of thousands of miles apart," Liu Jianan said fearlessly, "He can't hit me, what is there to be afraid of?"
Xu Zhaoxin: ...
It makes sense, I was speechless.
As soon as Liu Jianan left, he immediately found Yang Shu and complained about what had just happened.
"How dare he hang up the phone because he was dissatisfied with the boss?" He couldn't understand, "He also provoked the boss's majesty, my God, this is the first time I have seen such a suicidal person."
Yang Shu calmly asked back: "Then is he dead?"
Xu Zhaoxin shook his head.
"It's not a big deal. Why don't you call and ask Mr. Duan if he still wants us to take Liu Jianan back?" Yang Shu put down the two bags of rice on his shoulders and moved the pony over to sit down.
Xu Zhaoxin shook his head even harder: "I dare not, you go if you want!"
Yang Shu rolled his eyes: "Stupid guy."
He took out his mobile phone and called Duan Haiping. He
was hung up immediately.
He took back the phone calmly: "It seems that the boss is very angry this time."
The two sighed at the same time.
...
It was late at night and the light in Liu Jianan's bedroom was still on.
On the table were maps of every city from Yuncheng to Kyoto that he bought through various channels, with detailed markings of specific sections.
After the end of the world, the earth's magnetic field is in disorder, and radio signals are interfered with by the element of ferromagnetism. GPS that relies on satellite positioning and compasses that rely on magnetic fields will fail.
The difficulty of identifying directions has soared. Once you go in the wrong direction, it is difficult to correct it halfway.
With these maps, he can adjust the direction through some landmark buildings to avoid getting lost.
It was clearly past midnight, but Liu Jianan didn't feel tired at all.
He put the map into his backpack and put it away.
Outside the window, everything was silent, and the faint lights of street lamps could be seen sporadically, which was peaceful and tranquil.
Who would have thought that a meteorite shower that would change the world was about to come.
His heart was pounding, and the absurdity and excitement of witnessing history filled his chest.
He didn't sleep all night.
April 1st, 9 am.
Liu Jianan sent a message to Duan Haiping.
"Whether what I said is true or not, you will know it by 10 o'clock."
He thought about it, but still did not send any more teasing or admonishing words.
He had said everything he needed to say yesterday.
Duan Haiping has always had a bad temper, and we will not see each other for a long time, so we should not irritate him.
After sending the message, Liu Jianan summoned everyone to gather in the underground parking lot.
According to Zhang Yaoyao, the underground parking lot was converted from an air-raid shelter, and the safety factor is full.
Four off-road vehicles are stored here. He spent a lot of money to modify them, and their protection capabilities far exceed most vehicles on the market.
All the materials have been put into the warehouse, and the warehouse has been reinforced by workers. He has spent all the remaining 10 million yuan.
"An An, are you going to rent a store today?" Hu Jianye's eyes were full of excitement.
After so much preparation and investing 100 million yuan, it's time to start making money, right?
Hu Deyi was more concerned about the buyer: "An Zi, it's been so many days, why haven't we seen the buyer yet? Could he have changed his mind?"
Wang Mazi and his brothers were carrying large and small bags.
Zhang Wenqian noticed that their luggage was among them and asked in confusion, "Why did you pack all the luggage?"
Liu Jianan held his hands up, signaling everyone to be patient.
"I received a message from the emergency command center that there will be a meteorite rain at ten o'clock," he said with a cold face, "This used to be an air-raid shelter, it is the best place to avoid meteorites, it can keep everyone safe."
Zhang Yaoyao scratched her head: "I have lived here for nearly 30 years and have never seen a meteorite rain. Xiaoan, is your news reliable?"
"It's better to believe it," Liu Jianan said gently, "Anyway, it will be ten o'clock in half an hour. If there is no meteorite rain, we will go back."
Hu Jianye looked at Liu Jianan suspiciously. He always felt that Anan was a little strange recently, as if everything he had done before was to prevent this meteorite rain.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Everyone was still chatting at first, but as time got closer to ten o'clock, their hearts began to hang high.
"Ding, ding!"
Someone set the alarm and it rang.
The whole place was silent, with only the disturbing alarm echoing in the underground parking lot.
"It seems to be okay?"
"Yeah, I told you, experts' predictions are never accurate!" Before
everyone could cheer, the violent shaking under their feet made their hearts sink to the bottom in an instant.
"Boom--"
A chilling explosion suddenly poured in from the exit.
The earth shook.
The end of the world has come.
