Thunder rumbled, and the earth quaked and the mountains shook.
Just as the thunder roared, the entire ground shook violently.
In just an instant, the pots, bowls, ladles, basins, chandeliers, photo frames, and other small objects in the room began to shake violently. They either fell on the table or fell to the ground, making a series of clanking sounds.
An earthquake …
Because of the frequent earthquakes in recent years, the people of Hua Xia had a much deeper understanding of earthquakes than before.
Therefore, the moment the earthquake happened, the entire community seemed to have been awakened from their sleep by the thunder.
Countless people screamed 'earthquake' as they rushed out of their houses in a panic.
There was the sound of dense footsteps in the corridor.
Some residents who were taking a shower did not even have time to put on their clothes at this moment. They ran out of their houses wrapped in a bath towel.
It was still raining heavily outside, but at this time, no one cared so much.
The fleeing crowd surged like a flood and rushed madly toward the gate of the community.
In less than two minutes, the streets outside the community were already densely packed with people, blocking the entire road.
According to historical records, there had never been a destructive earthquake of magnitude 4 or above in the history of Zhonghai.
This was because Zhonghai was located in the most stable plate position in the entire Hua Xia. It was not in the earthquake zone at all, so let alone a destructive earthquake, even a weak earthquake of magnitude 2 or 3 would be difficult to occur.
But today, the people of Zhong Hai experienced what it felt like to be in the middle of an earthquake.
In fact, when the Wenchuan earthquake happened that year, Zhonghai, which was thousands of miles away, also felt it and even caused a big commotion.
However, that big earthquake happened more than two thousand kilometers away in the Chuanyu area after all, so it was far from being as real and exciting as today …
Based on the strong tremor just now, this earthquake was at least a magnitude 4.5 or above, reaching at least the level of a medium-strong earthquake.
The earthquake didn't last long. It lasted for about twenty seconds.
However, it was this short twenty seconds that really made many people feel like they had escaped death.
People who had not experienced an earthquake might not be able to imagine what kind of oppressive feeling an earthquake would bring to people.
Perhaps it was only when humans faced the wrath of nature that they would realize how insignificant they were.
The downpour continued, but none of the people on the streets dared to return to the residential area.
Everyone stood pitifully in the rain, looking at each other. That helpless look was as miserable as it could be …
But at this moment, another thunderclap exploded in the sky.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
The people on the street didn't even have time to cover their ears before the strong tremors appeared again.
In such a situation, not to mention the children, even some of the more timid females were completely scared out of their wits at this moment.
After their legs trembled, they sat down on the ground and held their heads in their hands as they cried out loud.
For a moment, the entire street seemed to have turned into a refugee camp. Even the torrential rain could not suppress the continuous cries from the crowd.
While fear, helplessness, cold, and other negative emotions filled the entire street, there was a little fellow who was still sleeping soundly on the bed …
Perhaps it was because sleeping in the rain was very comfortable, so this little thing rolled a few times in her sleep in a daze. She wrapped herself in the blanket like a cicada cocoon before continuing to sleep.
Qin Ruoying opened her eyes the moment the earthquake happened.
She was originally a little worried about whether the earthquake would endanger Niannian's safety, but after seeing Chen Xi smile and shake his head at her, Qin Ruoying's slightly anxious heart immediately calmed down.
As long as Chen Xi was there, she didn't have to worry about her and Niannian's safety at all.
It had to be said that this feeling was very comfortable and at the same time, very reliable …
In fact, as long as Chen Xi was there, not only the mother and daughter, but even the residents of this entire street would not be in any danger.
After all, Chen Xi was not the kind of indifferent passerby who would not save someone in need.
And speaking of which …
Wasn't it just a shake? What was the big deal?
Chen Xi stood on the balcony and looked into the distance motionlessly.
It was not until the third aftershock occurred that he suddenly turned around and returned to the living room.
After briefly explaining the situation to Qin Ruoying and indicating that she did not have to worry, Chen Xi set up a series of restrictions in the room.
Then, he directly left the house.
He wanted to see what was the difference between this sudden heaven and earth anomaly and the previous two.
After all, Chen Xi was not a weather satellite, and he did not have the leisure to explore heaven and earth anomalies, so he had no idea how many heaven and earth anomalies had occurred on earth.
Take the two times that he knew, the first time was in the Taklimakan Desert, and the second time was in the Siachen Glacier. Both times, heaven and earth anomalies appeared in the remote border areas.
But this time, the heaven and earth anomaly appeared in Zhonghai — —
In this international metropolis with a total population of as many as 25 million people.
One had to know that although ordinary people did not know how to cultivate, as the spirit of all things, humans still instinctively absorbed some heaven and earth spirit energy.
Even if each person could only absorb a little, with such a large population base, the heaven and earth spirit energy in Zhonghai would naturally become very sparse.
In this regard, Zhonghai and Shang Jing could not be compared at all.
Although the total population of Shang Jing was as many as 20 million, Shang Jing was the imperial capital of five dynasties. The emperors of each dynasty liked to choose Shang Jing as their capital. It was precisely because Shang Jing itself was a paradise, located at the head of the Dragon Veins, so no matter how large the population of Shang Jing was, Zhonghai still had such rich heaven and earth spirit energy.
Therefore, if there was a heaven and earth anomaly in Shang Jing, Chen Xi would not be surprised at all.
But the strange thing was that there was no heaven and earth anomaly in Shang Jing, but in Zhonghai, a new city that had only been prosperous for one or two hundred years, there was one …
How could this not surprise Chen Xi?
As he flew, Chen Xi pondered the question of why there would be a heaven and earth anomaly in Zhonghai.
In fact, if you put aside the Dragon Veins, Zhonghai could really be considered a blessed land.
Why?
That was because — —
As a coastal city, Zhonghai rarely had natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis since ancient times.
It was close to the river, the sea, and the plains, far away from the earthquake zone, and there were multiple island chains in the outer sea to block tsunamis. Such a unique geographical advantage was extremely rare even in the world.
Thinking about it carefully, other than the lack of the Dragon Veins and the sparse spirit energy, Zhonghai seemed to have no shortcomings?
But these were only geographical advantages, and had nothing to do with heaven and earth spirit energy or heaven and earth anomalies.
The more Chen Xi thought about it, the more confused he became.
But at this moment.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of a very important question!
Five years ago …
Wasn't it also during this thunderstorm that he suddenly went from Earth to Heavenly Jade?
Thunderstorm?
Spirit energy recovery?
Heaven and earth anomaly?
Heavenly Jade World?
The moment this question popped up, Chen Xi's figure suddenly stopped in mid-air.
His entire body froze.
For a long time.
It was not until the sound of thunder sounded again that Chen Xi seemed to be awakened from his sleep by a gong. He could not help but exclaim,
