The yellow dog that stole the fruit seemed to have become stronger, its fur was brighter, and it could run faster.
However, it also became more lewd. Whenever Lu Yuan wanted it to do something, Da Huang would always stay away. He strongly suspected that Da Huang, after eating the fruit, must have gained intelligence.
Just as I was about to look for Da Huang, I saw Da Huang snuggling up to Grandpa, acting all cute, clearly wanting to eat fish again.
Lu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Da Huang's ear. This guy is getting better and better at enjoying life! He doesn't even need to look after the house, he's just lazy and good-for-nothing all day long!
Grandpa, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, patted Big Yellow's head and said, "Huh? Big Yellow doesn't seem to be shedding anymore lately! What's going on?"
"This bastard has probably stolen and eaten a lot of fish again! Grandpa, from now on, let Da Huang catch its own fish if it wants to eat them!" Lu Yuan wanted to beat Da Huang up when he saw it like this.
"Sigh! Big Yellow is an old dog, we've had him for almost ten years now! Haha, if you were to calculate it in human years, he'd be around seventy or eighty!"
Da Huang cooperated perfectly, shedding two crocodile tears. He looked incredibly pitiful, but Lu Yuan knew he was just faking it.
"Cough cough! Grandpa, Da Huang is in good health. I reckon he can live for another ten or eight years without any problem!"
After saying that, he took Da Huang to the supermarket to buy water. Although Da Huang whimpered the whole way, Lu Yuan showed no sympathy whatsoever.
When they returned, Dahuang had a double-sided shoulder bag on its back. That's right, Lu Yuan specially chose it for it. There was a pocket on each side, which could hold more than twenty bottles of water in total.
...
"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and tickets for observation decks across the country have already sold out. People's attention to the meteor shower on the Lantern Festival has even surpassed that of the Spring Festival!"
"Recently, a netizen discovered and photographed the planetary belt through a telescope, which became a hot topic online. The telescope sold out and even became extremely difficult to find!"
"Sales data from major manufacturers show that citizens' enthusiasm for hoarding food and water has decreased once again, and the awareness of rational purchasing has taken root in people's hearts!"
Lu Yuan sighed. He hadn't expected that three months would pass so quickly. There was only one day left until the start of the apocalypse. He should cherish it!
After closing his laptop, Lu Yuan lay on the bed staring blankly at the overhead light when his phone rang.
"Lu Yuan, are you home? Come out for a second, I have something for you!" It was his girlfriend, Xiao Shan.
"Oh! Okay! Coming right away!" Lu Yuan jumped out of bed.
Lu Yuan was stunned as he looked at the two tickets to the observatory in his hand.
"Xiaoshan, you didn't really buy it with money, did you? This thing isn't cheap!" Lu Yuan knew that this kind of observation deck opened at night, and the ticket price had skyrocketed. Now it was basically impossible to get a ticket. Lu Yuan even saw online that someone was willing to pay 20,000 yuan for a ticket.
"No, it was issued by my dad's workplace. They said each person above the section chief level would receive two! My dad didn't want to go, so he gave them to me!" Xiaoshan shivered from the cold.
Lu Yuan gently covered her ears with his hand and sighed, "You really plan to go in this cold weather?"
"Let's go! It's not far anyway, we can just stroll around and relax! Why not go?" Xiao Shan's eyes sparkled, clearly quite interested in the meteor shower.
"Okay! Go ahead then! Go back and pack your things, I'll pick you up tomorrow!"
...
Eight o'clock the next evening.
Qingshenshan Star Observatory.
"Xiao Shan, are you cold?" Lu Yuan reached out and tightened Xiao Shan's collar as he asked.
"Hmm! It's pretty cold! But it's good enough to make a wish! Hehe!" As soon as she finished speaking, dimples appeared on both sides of her mouth.
Lu Yuan sighed. Make a wish? If a wish could really come true, he would be willing to wish for the asteroid belt to leave. He wondered if this shooting star would grant that wish.
Just as the two had climbed halfway up the mountain, someone suddenly shouted, "Look! There are two moons in the sky!"
Everyone looked up and sure enough, two moons appeared in the sky. However, one of them was a planet in the asteroid belt, and its brightness seemed to surpass that of the moon.
"Wow! This is amazing! A wonder of a thousand years! Quick, take a picture! Quick, take a picture!"
"Let me post this on my WeChat Moments first! Hehe! Luckily I bought a ticket, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to see something like this!"
"I wonder if that's a planet! It seems to be getting bigger and bigger!"
...
As people talked and took pictures, it seemed that the shooting star was getting bigger and bigger. When the person shouted earlier, it was about the size of the moon, but half an hour later, it was already the size of two moons. People quickened their pace as they climbed the mountain.
Finally, after more than an hour, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan finally climbed to the observatory. The observatory was already crowded with people, and some people wanted to set up their camera tripods but there was no room left.
The wind was strong at the mountaintop. Lu Yuan didn't know if it was wind brought in by a planetary collision, but he felt that the wind was a bit unusual. Perhaps it was just his imagination playing tricks on him.
The planet has not yet broken through the atmosphere, so it does not have a tail; it is simply much larger, seemingly more than ten times the size of the moon.
People excitedly took photos with various cameras, and various exclamations such as "Holy crap!", "Oh my god!", and "Oh my god!" constantly emerged from the crowd.
...
At midnight, the last moment of the Lantern Festival, it seemed to foreshadow the beginning of the end times, as thunder rumbled in the sky.
A giant planet blocked out half the sky, and the various craters on its surface could be clearly seen without any observation instruments.
Just as it tore through the atmosphere, people could hear a hissing burning sound as the planet, engulfed in flames and trailing a long, thick tail of smoke, streaked overhead.
It seemed that at that very moment, people could feel the intense heat on the planet.
It grew larger and larger, until three-quarters of the entire sky was covered by the planet, and the atmosphere turned the entire star into a giant fireball.
Lu Yuan had never seen this scene in his dream. He was sleeping in his room when he felt a ringing in his ears, and then it was like dawn.
Now he can clearly see various rocks, impact craters, and even gold-like minerals on the planet's surface.
Many people screamed and reached out to grab it, seemingly wanting to get closer to the planet. However, the planet simply passed through the atmosphere at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters and then just passed by.
...
A night passed, and people watched the planet leave Earth. The next day dawned, and it seemed that everything that had happened last night was a dream. When they woke up, nothing around them had changed.
