Damp and cold winds blew from the center of the Pearl Ocean. They brought with them a massive amount of moisture and quickly invaded the Anduin Province, forming a cold current.
Phils City, more than 60 kilometers away from Huaisha City.
It was adjacent to Celine's largest Pearl Ocean Whitehawk Base. The flow of personnel from the Whitehawk Naval Base had indirectly boosted the economy of the entire Phils City.
It was 4: 12 in the morning.
In the busiest and largest business district, on the pedestrian street centered around the Red Sea Belt Commercial Center.
Traffic flowed endlessly, like a pale yellow belt.
People who had just walked out of karaoke, bars, internet cafes and other nightspots were yawning as usual, excited or sleepy as they stood by the street waiting for their cars.
A few young men dressed in fashionable clothes staggered out of the bar in a drunken stupor.
"I can't, I really can't, I'm going to vomit blood if I drink anymore!"
A young man with a silver earring bent over and held on to a small tree on the sidewalk. His face was pale as he gasped for air.
His two companions behind him yawned, their breath reeking of alcohol. They looked at him with disdain.
"Weren't you pretty cocky just now?"
"I'll treat one glass as two! Weak! Too weak!! "Another person pointed at the young man beside the small tree and laughed.
"You two!" The young man with the silver earring turned around and was about to scold them back.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a loud, ear-piercing roar came from afar.
He felt the soles of his feet shake, and his ears felt like they were hammered by something.
In the night sky right in front of him, a huge dazzling fire shot into the sky. Almost half of the sky was dyed yellow red.
Boom!!
Immediately after that, another explosion of a smaller size rang out.
The three young men were stunned. They looked at the direction of the fire from afar.
Even the towering commercial buildings around could not block the burning fire. The fire came directly from the top of the building and dyed the dark night sky red.
The young man with the silver earring was stunned for a moment before he suddenly thought of a terrifying guess.
"That direction … seems to be … the Whitehawk Naval Base …!!"
“！！”
“！！！”
The expressions of the other two turned sluggish when they heard this. For a time, they did not know how to react in their hearts. However, they instinctively felt that something incredible had happened...
On the streets of the entire business circle, cars stopped one after another. Some rolled down their windows and stuck their heads out to take a look. Some even got out of their cars to take a look.
The passersby paused and looked up. Some rich people took out their phones to take pictures of the sky.
Inexplicably, an uneasy atmosphere gradually spread among the crowd.
The location of the Whitehawk Naval Base in Fail City was no secret. Many people were very familiar with those unruly soldiers.
Therefore, many people immediately determined that the direction of the fire was coming from was Celine's largest naval base, Whitehawk Base.
…
…
Boom …
A huge tremor suddenly shook Lin Sheng's whole body to the point of numbness. It pulled him back from a wondrous state.
Before he could regain his senses, the bedroom in front of him began to rapidly disintegrate.
Like a melted candle, or like dye being stirred.
Everything in front of him turned into a mess of colorful lines, which then spun and spun …
Staring at the scene in front of him, Lin Sheng's consciousness gradually blurred.
"Chenchen! Chenchen! "
A series of urgent calls woke him up from his sleepiness.
Lin Sheng opened his eyes and got up.
Outside the bedroom, his dad, Lin Zhounian, was knocking on the door.
"Coming!" He quickly responded.
He got out of bed and quickly opened the door.
Lin Zhounian stood at the door, his expression solemn.
"Did you hear that? The tremor outside. "
"The tremor just now?" Lin Sheng immediately reacted.
"Earthquake??" His expression changed. He immediately prepared to go back to his room to pack his things and run.
"Two in a row, and then nothing else. I don't think so. Something must have exploded somewhere. And it's not a small one! "Lin Zhounian shook his head and denied the possibility of an earthquake.
"Explosion?" Lin Sheng also came back to his senses. If it was an earthquake, it should have been a continuous tremor, not just one or two.
At this time, Gu Wanqiu also walked over with a jacket.
"I was scared just now. I woke up from my sleep and felt like my heart was about to jump out. It's still pounding now."
Lin Zhounian walked to the window and looked at the night sky in the distance, but he could not see anything.
"It's good that it's not an earthquake. Let's wait a little longer. If there's nothing else, we'll wait until tomorrow morning. There will definitely be news. We'll know when the time comes. "
Lin Sheng nodded. His dad's judgment was very reasonable. An explosion of this level would definitely be on tomorrow's morning news. At that time, the newspapers and local television stations would definitely report it in real time.
The family waited for a little more than ten minutes. After confirming that there were no further changes, they went back to sleep.
Lin Sheng lay back on the bed, feeling an indescribable sense of novelty in his heart.
After living for so many years, this was the first time he encountered something like this at night.
For some reason, he inexplicably thought of the geography teacher who was taken away from school …
For a moment, all kinds of messy thoughts came to his mind. He could not sleep no matter what.
He tossed and turned on the bed until dawn. He heard the sound of the television being turned on in the living room.
He hurriedly got up, changed his clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.
As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw his dad, Lin Zhounian, sitting on the sofa with the remote control in his hand, watching the morning news on the television.
On the television, a short-haired beauty in a white lady's suit was broadcasting the latest local news with a serious expression.
"Latest report, at around four o 'clock in the morning on April 29th, a large warehouse that stored fireworks accidentally exploded near the province's Phils City.
So far, 11 people have been killed and 32 injured. The cause of the accident is still under further investigation … "
"A fireworks warehouse exploded?" Lin Zhounian frowned. "Such a big earthquake. Phils City is so far away from here, but I can still feel it. How many fireworks would it take to cause such a level of intensity?"
Lin Sheng did not say anything.
Gu Wanqiu changed into her work clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
"Don't worry about that. It's fine as long as it's not here. Hurry up and eat breakfast and go to work. I'll go cook noodles for you two. "
"I don't want onions." Lin Zhounian hurriedly reminded.
"I want coriander!" Lin Sheng added.
"Sure, sure, sure. Just you wait!" Gu Wanqiu smiled as she walked into the kitchen and started to boil water and prepare the seasoning.
Lin Sheng sat next to his dad and watched the local news together.
What puzzled him was that there was only a brief mention of the explosion, followed by a shot of the burning sky at night.
After that, it changed to other news.
It gave the impression that it was too short, as if it was not taken seriously.
"Many people must have died. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so simple." Lin Zhounian took out a cigarette and held it in his hand, but he did not smoke it.
He never smoked at home, even though he had been a smoker for more than ten years.
"We can look it up on the internet. We should be able to find out the truth." Lin Sheng said in a deep voice.
"That's true. There's a lot of freedom on the internet. It's not easy for them to control things." Lin Zhounian smiled. "Alright, let's not talk about this. Even if the sky falls, there'll be someone to hold it up. Tell me about your studies recently."
