Seeing the cracks on the glass, Zhang Zian did not react for a moment. He thought to himself, How could the glass suddenly crack? Did I unknowingly shake my body and leak my dominance?
Crack … crack …
The cracks slowly spread in front of the two cats and one person at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first, they only existed in the corner, and then they spread and expanded like branches. The glass was soon covered with crystal cracks, but the strange thing was that it did not break, at least not for the time being.
"Hey? What's going on? What's wrong with the cats in your shop? "
A customer downstairs asked loudly.
"This … we don't know …" Wang Qian and Lu Yi Yun answered blankly.
Zhang Zian quickly rushed down the stairs. He saw that the cats and dogs in the store were in a state of panic. Some kittens were shivering in the corner, and some were leaning on the automatic glass door, as if they wanted to run out of the store. The puppies in the display cases were also desperately clawing at the glass, and all kinds of barking came one after another.
When the customers saw this scene, they were all dumbstruck.
Someone said, "What the f * ck! Is it going to be an earthquake? "
Animals were more sensitive than humans, especially some animals that could hear the high-frequency sound waves emitted by the rupture of the earthquake zone deep in the earth's crust. High-frequency sound waves traveled extremely fast in the earth's crust, so they often had unusual behaviors before an earthquake, such as chickens flying, dogs barking, mice moving, and so on.
There had been more than one such example in history — people saw animals collectively behaving abnormally, realized that an earthquake was coming, and hurriedly fled to safety, thus avoiding major loss of life.
China was a country with frequent earthquakes. Many of the people present, regardless of gender or age, had heard similar rumors. Hearing this, they suddenly woke up from a dream, and their faces changed dramatically. They no longer cared about buying pets, dropped everything in their hands, and ran out of the shop like crazy, for fear that they would be crushed under the ruins of the collapsed house if they were a step late.
In a flash, the whole shop was almost empty.
Wang Qian and Lu Yi Yun stood there dumbly, not knowing if they should run outside with the customers.
The customers ran to the open-air street, but still did not dare to relax. They each made a phone call, wanting to remind their family and friends to leave the house quickly. There were also a few familiar customers waving at Wang Qian, Lu Yi Yun, and Zhang Zian, asking them to come out quickly.
Zhang Zian thought to himself, F * ck, this is going to be a big deal!
He quickly ran out of the store and shouted, "Everyone, don't panic! Calm down, everyone! Don't panic! Also, don't spread rumors. Spreading a rumor five hundred times can result in jail! "
Unfortunately, not many people listened to him. Those who needed to make calls still made calls.
"Manager! Hurry up and get your employees out here! At a time like this, don't give up your life over your wealth! "
"What rumor? I only believe in my own eyes! "
"Exactly! Wasn't it said that the abnormal behavior of animals foreshadowed earthquakes? Take a look at the pets in your shop! That's enough, I'm going to make another call … Sigh, my dad won't pick up the phone no matter what. He's probably playing cards again. I'm so worried! "
"No, no! It's the cats and dogs in the shop that ate something bad this morning … "Zhang Zian was trying to persuade him again when he saw Li Kun running out of the aquarium next door.
"Mas … Master! The fish in the shop … The fish in the shop kept jumping out! Please come and take a look! Is there an electric leak or something? "Li Kun's face was full of panic as he spoke incoherently.
Zhang Zian didn't have time to say anything else. He immediately rushed into the aquarium.
In the dark room, the few customers stared at the dazzling array of fish tanks in surprise. All kinds of fish and prawns in the fish tanks were jumping up crazily, like dumplings being thrown into a pot. If it weren't for the anti-jump net, they might have all jumped out of the tank and turned into dried fish.
Li Kun saw the situation and thought that there was an electric leak in some equipment. But that didn't make sense, because the equipment used in the fish tanks were all operating at a safe voltage. Even if there was an electric leak, it wouldn't be so exaggerated!
Even the coral tanks that didn't have any fish had ripples on the surface of the water, as if the seawater in the tank was vibrating.
Zhang Zian's heart tightened. He was afraid that these expensive fish tanks would crack like the window glass. But the glass of the fish tank itself was relatively thick, and it had been reinforced to hold hundreds of kilograms of seawater. It was much stronger than the window glass, so there was no danger of it cracking for the time being … not yet.
After Jiang Feifei came to the aquarium to work, she had learned a lot of things, but she had never heard of such a strange thing.
A customer heard the noise outside and asked in confusion, "What's so noisy outside? Did a car hit someone? "
"Let's go out and take a look."
Jiang Feifei saw Zhang Zian and wanted to ask, but she was interrupted by a wave of his hand. He didn't have the time to ask questions.
"Aiyo! This … What's going on with these bats? Why did they come out during the day? "
"F * ck! This can't be wrong. It's an earthquake. An earthquake is definitely coming! "
Even louder noises came from outside.
Zhang Zian rushed out of the aquarium and returned to the street. He followed the gaze of the others and looked up.
A group of bats suddenly flew around randomly like headless flies. They hit the lampposts and billboards and knocked themselves out. After losing consciousness, they fell to the ground one after another.
Zhang Zian suddenly remembered that there were bats living in the green space behind the shop. Thanks to them, there were many trees and grass in the green space. Recently, there had been a lot of cat feces and cat urine, but there were not many mosquitoes and flies. Therefore, he had a good impression of bats.
However, what was puzzling was that bats were nocturnal animals. Why were they flying out during the day? Moreover, they seemed to have lost their ability to identify directions …
Bats relied on ultrasound to find their way and avoid obstacles. Their hearing range was as high as 200,000 Hertz, which was ten times higher than the 20,000 Hertz range of humans. So, were they being disturbed by ultrasound?
When the customers gathered on the street saw this situation, they no longer had any doubts in their hearts. If it was just the cats and dogs in the pet shop that were behaving abnormally, it would be fine. However, even the bats flying in the sky were behaving strangely. If it wasn't an earthquake, what other reasonable explanation could there be?
Zhang Zian was afraid that things would get out of hand. He raised his voice and shouted, "Everyone, calm down! It's not what you think! You know, there are many reasons why animals behave abnormally. It doesn't necessarily have to do with earthquakes! "
"Then what do you think is the reason?" someone asked loudly.
The others were also more suspicious than convinced.
Fortunately, he was not from the relevant department. Otherwise, the more he refuted the rumors, the more people would believe him …
Zhang Zian knew that he had to quickly eliminate the abnormal phenomenon. Otherwise, he would be in serious trouble today!
