Although the audience knows that the end times will come soon, only Li Yanqian, who has experienced it once in the show, knows when and how it will happen. Fu Ying must be with her tonight.
At this moment, everyone still feels concerned about Li Yanqian while complaining about what she just said.
[You're not allowed to go anywhere tonight. What kind of words are these, so fierce! Ah, ah, ah!]
[If Fu Ying were a boy, it would be fine.]
[Hey, why am I having dirty thoughts?]
[Ah~ the love of a girlfriend that has no place to go.]
[...]
The two walked around the playground in circles until the people who came out for a night run on the playground left one by one. Then Fu Ying suggested going back to the dormitory.
However, due to the different time nodes inside and outside the show, it had only been less than a minute for the audience.
"Well, let's go back. I'll tie my shoes first," Li Yanqian said. She walked to the nearby stone steps and raised her foot, tying her shoelaces while glancing at the luminous electronic watch on her wrist.
There were ten minutes left.
In ten minutes, various strange phenomena signaling the end of the world would begin. How could she stall for another ten minutes without raising suspicion?
Fortunately, her usually dead cell phone rang at the right time.
It was Ji Cheng.
"That kid again," Fu Ying sneered because Ji Cheng had brought Cao Li and Li Xinghai along.
"Wait a moment, I'll answer it," Li Yanqian took Fu Ying and sat on the grass of the playground. Fu Ying felt that Li Yanqian seemed a little off tonight, as if she was afraid of getting lost. But then she realized it was probably because of Grandpa Luo's situation.
Li Yanqian, who had been abandoned by her family since she was a child, must feel quite insecure deep down, right?
Fu Ying felt sentimental for a moment but suddenly sensed something strange about the grass beneath her.
A slight tremor was coming from below. Was it a lawnmower?
Fu Ying looked around for a moment, while Li Yanqian was still on the phone.
"Tomorrow, I'll pick you up and call you when I arrive," Ji Cheng said.
"Okay," Li Yanqian replied.
At that moment, Li Yanqian placed her palm on the grass, feeling a familiar sensation. She ended the call as usual.
"Why are you having dinner with him? I think he's probably up to no good," Fu Ying grumbled dissatisfied.
"He said he wanted to talk about my brother," Li Yanqian stood up from the grass. "Don't you want to go back? Let's go?"
As Fu Ying reached out to hold her hand, they were startled by the sound of an explosion coming from a distance.
"Is it over at the airport? Did something crash?" The university town of Nancheng University was close to Nancheng Airport, and the sound of the explosion seemed to come from that direction.
Immediately after, they felt the ground shaking, or to be precise, trembling.
"I don't know. Would a crash cause vibrations in this area?" Li Yanqian asked, trying to showcase her acting skills to the fullest.
Then, they heard the sound of birds flapping their wings.
A large group of unknown birds flew towards the sky, blocking the remaining light as they flew. Initially, the birds flying in the darkness weren't noticeable, but due to their large numbers, they effectively blocked the last trace of light in the sky.
Through the gaps in the birds, the two noticed that the bright moon in the sky had turned red...
The ground vibrations grew stronger, and all the surrounding school buildings turned on their lights. The ground started shaking violently, causing Fu Ying, who was standing on the playground, to almost lose her balance.
Screams and noises filled the surroundings, and Fu Ying finally realized something.
"It's an earthquake!"
But Nancheng is a plain area. How could there be an earthquake here?!
