"Well, what's coming will come eventually. The world will be completely changed starting tomorrow."
Mo Ran turned and went into the room to start preparing breakfast.
……………………………………………
In the sky.
More than a dozen meteorites, engulfed in raging flames, flew rapidly in their respective directions.
Behind these meteorites was a trail of black smoke that continued to spread.
This black plume of smoke is composed of countless tiny black dust particles.
These dust particles drift in the air with the wind, forming patches of black floating matter. Some even dissolve into the clouds, turning the white clouds black.
When they were still a kilometer from the ground, these high-speed falling meteorites suddenly exploded in the air.
"Boom!"
The meteorite exploded with a deafening roar, turning into a vast cloud of black dust that filled the sky.
These black dust particles fell downwards at an extremely fast speed, like raindrops.
Black dust rain instantly fell on an area within a ten-kilometer radius.
Flowers, grass, trees, and all other plants were instantly covered with a thin layer of black dust.
Some of the animals below were startled by the explosion overhead, and many began to scatter and flee, but they could not escape the rapidly falling dust, which stuck to their fur.
Much of the dust even drifted into the animals' eyes, noses, and mouths, causing them to sneeze uncontrollably.
Even more dust falls into lakes and rivers that have not yet frozen, dissolving completely in the water in an instant and disappearing without a trace.
After a long while, several transport helicopters fully loaded with people flew in from the sky.
From a great distance, everyone on the plane could see the vast expanse of black dust covering the ground.
"My God, that meteorite actually shattered into countless powders."
"It's so bizarre. I've never seen a meteorite so shattered into powder. What kind of material is it made of?"
"This dust may be some kind of unknown substance. I think it would be best to bring in some protective equipment just to be on the safe side."
Even at such a great distance, the airflow generated by the helicopter could blow up the dust, which would continuously drift into the air.
After discussion, the group decided to find a flat place to serve as a temporary campsite.
Then, several sets of advanced protective suits were transferred from the department to ensure personal protection before collecting the meteorite dust.
The helicopter squadron circled in the air for a while before finding a relatively flat grassy area.
The helicopter slowly landed on the grass, and many soldiers began to set up a makeshift camp.
...
"The locations where these meteorites landed are quite interesting. Well, if I had to pinpoint a connection, it would be that there's a lot of wildlife in the area."
Mo Ran looked at all the meteorite landing points marked on the screen and thoughtfully stroked her chin.
...
The impending catastrophe has been averted, and the entire Dragon Kingdom is now in a state of euphoria.
Everyone sang and danced, engrossed in an unprecedented carnival.
That's life. People often hate life because of its setbacks, but after experiencing near-death experiences, they realize and cherish it immensely.
Humans are truly strange creatures.
Troops stationed in various cities began to withdraw one after another, but police and special police continued to patrol, giving up time with their families in order to maintain and protect order in the cities.
.
Time flew by and it was noon.
Gu Lao and the others returned to the villa to find Mo Ran, their purpose being to discuss the meteorite incident.
"I see. Now that you mention it, Mo Ran, that period of time does seem very strange."
"Indeed, even if a meteorite slows down due to friction in the atmosphere, it cannot stay in one place for that long."
"If that's the case, then the truth is a bit chilling, and something terrible is bound to happen next."
"I feel that the disaster is related to war, and the removal of humanity's most powerful nuclear weapon suggests that we may be facing some kind of enemy outside of humanity next."
Mo Ran and Gu Lao sat together and began to discuss the meteorite incident.
As everyone speculated and discussed, they began to feel more and more that the impending disaster was extraordinary.
"Today is the last day of the year, and it's hard not to think about what's happening. It's as if it's hinting that tomorrow will be a brand new world era."
"In any case, starting tomorrow, the world will definitely undergo some changes in the unseen world. You can never have too many weapons, food, and water."
After Mo Ran finished speaking, everyone present nodded in unison.
Old Gu and the others left quickly, and time passed slowly without them noticing.
...
As the clock struck midnight, the new year quietly arrived on this lively night.
Since fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in the city center, many people drove to the suburbs to set them off.
The enthusiasm of everyone reached a level that had not been seen in previous years, and the special police and police officers patrolling nearby did not stop them.
Given what happened today, such a reaction is hardly surprising.
In the sky.
The black dust floating in the air, now guided by the wind, began to drift slowly in different directions.
Every time we pass through a mountainous area or a city, a lot of black dust falls from the sky.
Furthermore, this dust seems to deliberately avoid humans, instead attaching itself to various animals.
.
"From this perspective, the scenery is truly unique and beautiful."
On the huge television screen in front of Mo Ran, the entire Dragon Kingdom was viewed from a satellite perspective.
From a satellite's perspective, the entire Dragon Kingdom was covered in countless dazzling and colorful fireworks.
Fireworks rose from cities and villages, like countless shining stars.
...
"Protective suits are now on. Begin checking if they are worn correctly. Check complete. Protective suits worn correctly!"
After checking each other's work, several researchers in protective suits began carrying boxes of experimental equipment into the dusty area.
Several soldiers in protective suits accompanied them, all of them fully armed, as they were now in the wilderness, where wild animals were plentiful.
"Is this really the meteorite from yesterday? This black powder is far too fine."
"Could it be because it was bombed by nuclear weapons that this change occurred?"
"That's impossible. These meteorites were still intact when they separated, otherwise they would have turned to ashes during their flight."
Researchers began taking out various devices to collect the dust scattered on the branches and fallen leaves.
The researchers present were quite shocked by the fine and thin dust.
