Two days later, at the Imperial Capital Qinghe Alliance office.
"Well, any news?" Li Cheng, the Grand Alliance official, asked Qiu Man, whose face was serious.
Qiu Man hesitated for a moment, "The information the Zhang family gave us is about the apocalypse."
Although General Li had prepared himself mentally, he was still incredibly shocked to hear the confirmation. "Do you think the Zhang family's information is reliable?"
“I’m not sure, but they have no reason to lie to me.”
"Tell me more about it."
"Zhang's daughter said she started having dreams last October, dreams that foreshadowed the end of the world..." Qiu Man recounted what he had heard verbatim to Chief Alliance Officer Li.
"The global rains won't arrive until the second half of the year, so what will happen to this year's food? And there will be a drought in six months..." General Li muttered to himself, his mind racing with countermeasures.
Li Zongmeng remained silent for more than half an hour until he suddenly came to his senses and realized that Qiu Man was still waiting in his office. "Sorry, I was a little lost in thought just now. You can go back first. The secretary will inform you of the meeting time later."
Qiu Man nodded and left. Afterwards, General Li instructed his secretary to notify the senior staff that a meeting would be held at 10 a.m. the next day.
That night, the entire Qinghua Kingdom was engulfed in thunder and lightning.
Starting at 10 p.m., a sharp sword cleaved through the night sky, a bright arc cutting down from the clouds all the way to the edge of the sky, illuminating the weeping heavens.
Immediately, thunder roared, shaking the very heavens and earth, as if to shatter the entire world. The sounds of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning intertwined, resembling a battlefield where two armies clashed.
Bi Qiaoan turned off all the electrical appliances and lights in the house, moved a small stool to the balcony, held a bowl of cherries, and gazed at the night sky, enjoying the scenery.
Disliking Bi Qiaoan's small stool, Shen Yanming directly released a double swing chair from his space, hugged Bi Qiaoan, and leaned back in the soft cushion.
Looking out the window, Bi Qiaoan asked Shen Yanming, "Do you think only Haishi experiences lightning, or is the whole world being electrified?"
Shen Yanming was scrolling through Weibo when he saw the post: "It's not just Haishi that's experiencing thunderstorms. Judging from netizens' reactions, it seems that most cloudy cities today are also experiencing thunderstorms."
Bi Qiaoan pursed her lips, picked up a cherry and fed it to Shen Yanming, "It's amazing, it's raining all over the world, thundering all over the world, and lightning all over the world, sigh!"
Shen Yanming rubbed his cheek against Bi Qiaoan's head, comforting her, "This is a process that all humans must go through. Perhaps if we can get through it, we will usher in a new era."
"Um!"
Bi Qiaoan watched for a while and then got a little bored. "Honey, I'm so bored. If I can feel bored now that we have electricity and internet, how will we live when there's no electricity or internet?"
"How about we download some TV series, novels, and variety shows? We have storage space, so we can recharge our devices there."
"Yes, you have a point!"
Bi Qiaoan took Shen Yanming's phone and opened the most popular variety show. "Want to watch it with me?"
"good!"
The 1 hour and 40 minute variety show was full of laughs and was over quickly. By the time Bi Qiaoan closed the video player, it was almost midnight.
"It seems like there hasn't been any lightning for a while, has it?"
"Hmm, it should be over soon!" Shen Yanming got up and opened the window a crack. The humid air from outside rushed into the room, and Shen Yanming shuddered, looking at Bi Qiaoan in shock.
Bi Qiaoan quickly got up and walked to Shen Yanming's side. After carefully sensing the situation, she looked at Shen Yanming and said uncertainly, "Yanming, I feel the space is shaking, as if there is something it urgently needs."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Me too, I thought it was just a hallucination."
The two exchanged a glance and decided to go out and investigate.
Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming went out in their pajamas and slippers, carrying umbrellas. The closer they got to the door, the stronger the spatial vibration became.
With one hand holding an umbrella and the other embracing Bi Qiaoan, Shen Yanming rushed into the rain. As soon as they stepped into the rain, they felt an urgent sense of urgency surrounding them.
Bi Qiaoan stretched out her right hand, and raindrops fell into her palm. Bi Qiaoan felt a jolt throughout her body. "It's rain. I feel that the space needs rain."
Shen Yanming also stretched out his palm to feel it. Sure enough, after the raindrops fell on his body, it felt as if something surged into his body, and Shen Yanming instantly felt comfortable all over.
So, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan found a secluded corner in the neighborhood, put down their umbrellas, and looked up to receive the rain.
It wasn't until two hours later, when Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were soaked to the bone, that the sense of urgency finally disappeared.
When they got home, it was already 2:30 a.m. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took a hot shower and changed their clothes.
"Shall we go into the space and take a look?" Bi Qiaoan hugged Shen Yanming's waist, tilted her little face up and smiled. Before Shen Yanming could speak, she led him into the planting space.
The white mist surrounding the planting space spread outwards, and the white mist overhead also dissipated, revealing a clear blue sky.
"Blue? How can there be a sky?" Bi Qiaoan murmured. "Could this be a miniature world?"
Shen Yanming also found it very strange, "Perhaps it's some kind of secret realm, and we just obtained the key to enter it."
"Hehe, it's not important, honey. Quickly check if there are any changes in the storage space?"
Shen Yanming probed the space with his consciousness and found that the changes inside were similar to those in the planting space. The area had increased and the blue sky had been revealed. "Just like here, I didn't expect that getting rained on would cause such a big change in the space."
Bi Qiaoan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Perhaps today's rain is a bit different, and I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future."
Shen Yanming chuckled and joked, "If I had one, I'd have to prepare a small stool for you."
Bi Qiaoan pouted, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at Shen Yanming. "Ugh, my legs are sore from standing for two hours. You have no idea, I even wanted to pull a small stool out of my space, but I didn't dare. It was so tiring! If you hadn't been holding me back, I would have just lay down on the ground!"
Shen Yanming hugged Bi Qiaoan and kissed her on the head. "Even if we have to get rained on, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and get sick!"
The following day, in the Imperial Capital Qinghe Alliance conference room.
This was a meeting that could determine the fate of humanity. Thirteen top leaders stood solemnly, awaiting the start of the meeting.
Chief Li led Qiu Man into the meeting hall on time and sat in the head seat. Following Chief Li's gesture, Qiu Man sat in the empty seat to Chief Li's right, which was specially reserved for him by the secretary.
Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the attendees, General Li cut to the chase, "I'm sure you all have some thoughts on today's meeting. Why don't you all share them first?"
"As far as I know, governments around the world have not received any definite information so far, and scientists have also stated after their studies that this is just normal rainfall."
"Yes, it's clearly very abnormal, but according to the research data, it seems perfectly normal."
"What I see most online is apocalyptic theory, but how is that possible?"
