There are many high-rise buildings in the county. If there is an earthquake, the entire county will be in danger.
The open space closest to the county seat is undoubtedly the riverside.
Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly ran to the riverside. Chen Hai was certainly not the only person with such insight.
When he arrived at the riverside, there were already many people in groups of three and five, who had gathered here before him.
Although Chen Hai was still running at an astonishing speed even if he was holding someone in his arms, some people lived by the river, just a few steps away.
Wherever there are people, there will be light from mobile phones, illuminating a small area around them.
After arriving here, Chen Hai also slowed down and put Ye Qingqing down.
"Young man, you have a good sense of filial piety. You know how to hold your old mother and run to the riverside together..."
A few steps away, an old man happened to see this scene through the light of his mobile phone.
He looked approvingly and gave Chen Hai a thumbs up.
Hearing this, Ye Qingqing was extremely embarrassed, and Chen Hai's face instantly darkened.
"Why are you talking? This is my wife, not my mother."
"In terms of age, I'm a little older than my wife, I just look younger!" Chen Hai retorted, glaring at the old man.
"This is your wife..." The old man said meaningfully and laughed a few times.
He didn't believe Chen Hai's explanation at all.
He was not dim-sighted, so he could naturally see the huge age difference between Ye Qingqing and Chen Hai.
Chen Hai didn't explain, but the old man still thought he was filial.
After this explanation, he looked at Chen Hai with a hint of contempt.
Perhaps, he regarded Chen Hai as the kind of young man who didn't want to fight.
"Chen Hai, there is no one over there, let's go over there!"
Chen Hai wanted to continue explaining, but Ye Qingqing, who looked embarrassed, pulled his clothes.
He was dragged to an uninhabited corner near the flood embankment, deliberately staying away from the places where people gathered together.
"The old man is talking nonsense, Qingqing, don't take it to heart."
"In my eyes, you are not old at all, you are still as young and beautiful as before."
"Don't worry about immortality. I will definitely restore your youth. Just trust me."
Knowing that Ye Qingqing must be feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment, Chen Hai took her hand and whispered softly to comfort her.
"I've wronged you, Chen Hai..."
Squatting against the flood embankment, with his head buried in his knees, he was silent for a long time before Ye Qingqing finally managed to squeeze out a few words.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." The loud noise lasted for an hour or two before finally calming down.
Although the ground beneath our feet has been shaking slightly, the strange thing is that the houses in the county show no signs of collapse.
The people who had been lingering in the open space beside the Yuanjiang River for a long time finally began to slowly disperse and go back to their homes.
Several small supermarkets on the road actually have their own diesel generators. The lights inside are bright and they are still open for business.
However, the prices inside are shockingly expensive.
Many items such as vegetables, rice, oil and salt have been sold for more than ten times.
Those who take advantage of disasters to make a fortune, whether in the past, present or future, will never be cut off.
The only thing that makes these small supermarket owners a little regretful is that because there is no Internet and they cannot scan the QR code to pay, although there are many people entering the supermarket, their business is like this.
After all, these days, it is really rare for people to have a lot of cash on them.
Chen Hai has never been short of cash.
There are a lot of colorful banknotes in his storage bag, not only Yanhuang coins, but also foreign currencies.
He himself has already abstained from grains, so he has no need to eat or drink.
However, considering that Ye Qingqing is an ordinary person after all, when he passed by a supermarket, he bought a lot of oil, salt, vegetables, rice and various foods.
The darkness continues, and the sun still has not yet seen the sky again.
By the third day, the lights in the city were already very rare.
Not to mention items that can illuminate such as mobile phone emergency lights, even if it is a vehicle, the battery will not last long if the lights are turned on all the time.
If you keep the engine on, you will run out of fuel and want to refuel. In this situation, there is nowhere to refuel.
The sun disappears and the whole world falls into darkness. How long will this situation last? No one can tell.
Just last night, someone made a homemade torch and started walking on the street.
An indescribable feeling of panic spread rapidly in the city.
The shops on the street have already been completely closed.
Incidents of beating, smashing, looting and burning are increasing day by day, and there have been at least a dozen cases of human life.
The government is still trying to maintain order.
All police forces, including most of the civil servants, patrol the streets around the clock.
Unfortunately, its effect is minimal.
After all, in a city where lights are already very rare, everything is pitch black.
As far as ordinary people's eyesight is concerned, in this darkness, it is difficult for them to see clearly what is happening a few meters away.
Even if there is a little bit of light, the patrol officers can see clearly only the small surrounding area.
If a murder really happened in front of them, it would be very difficult for the perpetrators to find their shadows as soon as they dived into the darkness.
This move by the government can only have a little calming effect.
By the seventh day, the entire city was completely out of control.
In the endless darkness, sin begins to fill everywhere.
Even those patrol officers, many have turned into members of the thugs.
Ordinary people, as long as they still stutter, mostly choose to stay at home, and no one dares to go out and wander around casually.
As for Chen Hai, of course he does not belong to the category of ordinary people.
Although he stayed at home most of the time, accompanying Ye Qingqing, occasionally he would go out for a walk and bring back some supplies.
When this endless darkness lasts for the twelfth day.
The whole earth shook suddenly again.
In an instant, the darkness completely dissipated, and bright sunlight shone across every corner of the city.
Suddenly returning from endless darkness to light is such a huge gap that it is difficult for ordinary people to adapt to it for a while.
It wasn't until several minutes later that the silent city began to burst into loud cheers.
Those thugs in the darkness became good citizens again after cleaning up the blood on their bodies.
People who had been huddled at home for many days tentatively came out of their houses.
It was only about ten days, but it felt extremely long. At this moment, they were as if they were seeing the sun again. The excitement was simply indescribable.
The only regrettable thing is that the entire city still has no electricity or internet.
But for people who have been in the dark for more than ten days, as long as there is sunshine, it will be fine.
As for the electricity and network issues, we will be able to solve them eventually if we slowly think of a solution.
"Oh my god, how come there are two suns in the sky?" A cry of surprise suddenly came from somewhere.
People who had just walked out of the house only felt that the sunlight was very dazzling and did not take a closer look at the sky for the first time.
At this moment, after this exclamation, almost everyone looked towards the sky.
"There are really two suns in the sky, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible..."
"Oh my God, what's going on in this world? Are we still on the Blue Star?"
"Is the whole world like this? Or is it only here in Liuyuan County that we can see two suns?"
…
There were screams of exclamation everywhere, and there was a sense of survival after a disaster. People who had just escaped from the darkness and saw the light again began to panic again.
Chen Hai, who accompanied Ye Qingqing and was mixed in the crowd, also looked at the sky.
Ever since the light appeared again, he could clearly feel that with every breath he took, the unknown airflow flowing into his body was at least ten times thicker than before.
He didn't know whether this unknown air flow was the legendary spiritual energy.
If this thing is really spiritual energy, then in this situation...
Just thinking about it made Chen Hai break into a cold sweat.
He did not think that this was the revival of spiritual energy, but speculated that the blue star they were on was captured by some great force and integrated into a certain big world.
After all, the legendary power can catch the stars and the moon.
When the darkness first fell, it was like the sky was falling apart and the earth was shattering, with endless rumbling sounds.
When the light came again, the ground beneath their feet also shook suddenly.
Just when Chen Hai was thoughtful, something happened again in the sky.
One of the two suns hanging high in the sky spread out a pair of huge wings and slowly transformed into a big golden bird.
