This is the darkest time before dawn. There are blurred mists rippling between the sky and the earth. The whole world seems to be swallowed by monsters and fall into the rotten stomach. Only a lonely lamp at the midnight snack stall is fighting against the strong darkness.

Dream traveler should be sleeping. Li Yao is not sure whether calling him so early will cause displeasure.

However, if you think about it carefully, the emotional analysis revealed from the lines of Dream Travel, he should also be very lonely and eager to communicate with friends who have similar experiences.

Li Yao couldn't wait, so he simply made up his mind and called him directly.

A melancholy and low ringtone echoed for half a minute, but no one answered it. Maybe the other party adjusted the phone to silent mode before going to bed?

Li Yao waited for more than ten minutes and wanted to call again, the light hanging on the midnight snack stall went out.

A few hideous blood vaguely bloomed in the sky in the east, and there were strange stars in the sky in the west. At Li Yao's feet, the earth began to tremble, as if it had changed from a hard solid to a sparse semi-fluid, and there was some mysterious and terrifying force about to break out of the ground.

The owner and his wife of the midnight snack stall and the diners around Li Yao were all shaking.

An earthquake?

Li Yao, the boss and diners looked at each other, but they didn't react for a while.

Jiangnan City is located in the eastern coastal area and is not on the plate tectonic belt. There have been few serious earthquakes in history. In the past thirty or fifty years, I have never seen the shadow of earthquakes.

Therefore, until the earth shaking became more and more serious, the pots and pans at the midnight snack stalls collided together, and the "ding ding dang" sounded randomly, everyone suddenly realized it.

The boss and his wife shouted, hurriedly pushing the midnight snack stall into the middle of the road, avoiding the tall buildings on both sides. Apart from that, they seemed to have nothing to do. They shrank their heads and opened their mouths wide, looking at hundreds of windows that emitted a "slam, slam" vibration at the same time.

At a moment, lights were lit in almost all the windows of high-rise buildings, and bursts of noises came. Some people were in disarray and poked their heads out of the windows with sleepy eyes. Fortunately, the intensity of the earthquake was not too high, and people were still awake. No one did the stupid thing of jumping down from the three or five floors. However, many people ran down from the corridor panting and gathered in the middle of the road and in the square, looking at the gradually clear sky with some confusion.

The earthquake calmed down and lasted for three to five minutes.

No, more precisely, it is not an earthquake, but a "sensation". The epicenter should be very far from Jiangnan City. Such a sensation cannot cause any substantial losses.

Since dawn has arrived, the people who were in a false alarm are unwilling to go back to sleep like this. They gathered together in groups of three or three to discuss, guessing where a severe earthquake occurred. Some young men with strong spirits stared at the girls who were thrown out with a smile and didn't even wear shoes, without any tension at all.

Li Yao felt a cold fear for no reason.

The prophecy of the Dream Traveler is being fulfilled one by one. First, the death of the creators of the fantasy world, and then various natural disasters such as earthquakes.

Li Yao stared at the news report page of his mobile phone, refreshing it again and again. Sure enough, ten minutes later, a latest news came out:

"At the early morning of this day, a magnitude 9.2 earthquake occurred in the Western Pacific waters. The epicenter was very close to Edo Bay, which caused serious chaos in the eastern part of the archipelago. According to the tsunami warning issued by the Fuso Meteorological Agency, there were also tsunamis at least fifteen meters high, which successively hit the archipelago. Sources pointed out that this earthquake may become the biggest crisis that Fuso encountered since World War II, and it is not even ruled out. This is just a precursor to a series of strong earthquakes!"

Because it was news that had just happened not long ago, the news was written very briefly.

But Li Yao knew the shorter the news, the bigger the matter.

The story is obvious - the Fuso Islands are a series of islands located in the Pacific Ocean, while Jiangnan City stands on the solid continental shelf. The earthquake that occurred in the eastern part of the archipelago actually felt even Jiangnan City thousands of miles away. Is such an earthquake really only magnitude 9.2?

News websites have their own workflow, and they cannot respond to earthquakes so quickly. However, many short videos sent by Chinese people far away in Fuso have been circulating on social media. Through the shaking screen, you can see that one of the top super metropolis on this planet is immersed in flames and smoke. The harsh alarm sounds are rising and falling. It seems that they are back in the bombing of World War II. There are also all kinds of true and false rumors flying all over the sky, saying that at least half of the dozen nuclear power plants in the eastern part of the archipelago had serious nuclear leakage accidents, and the radiation index even exceeded that of Chernobyl at that time, and the situation has completely lost control.

Li Yao cursed secretly, feeling that he was calm just now, and in a flash, the storm struck his head.

"not good!"

He suddenly shivered deeply and ran to the community where Zhang Daniu lived for fear of his life.

"If, if what Meng Traveler said is true, wouldn't Zhang Daniu be very dangerous?"

Li Yao didn't care about hiding his figure, and rushed between the streets and alleys like an arrow from a string. "Although the earthquake that occurred in the Pacific cannot cause any damage to Jiangnan City, "some kind of force" is still more than enough to kill one or two people with the help of the earthquake!"

Li Yao ran into the old community just now.

At this time, many people had gathered on the roads in the community - the elderly had a light sleep, and it was difficult to fall asleep again once they were awakened. So they simply gathered to discuss what happened just now and prepare for early exercise.

In front of everyone, Li Yao naturally could no longer use the skills of geckos climbing walls, so he could only walk the corridor to the fifth floor honestly. Time was tight and the door was locked. Li Yao simply roared, "bang", and kicked open the door of Zhang Daniu's family.

fortunately!

Zhang Daniu was still typing on the keyboard frantically, making a series of dense impacts. The earthquake just now did not affect him at all. His eyes went from deep to violent storm, completely dyed red with blood.

really!

On the row of bookshelfs on his left, they were piled with thick and heavy hardcover books and encyclopedia dictionaries, which had been tilted by the earthquake. As the author used his strength to exaggerately knocking and returning the car, the inclination angle became more and more obvious, like a crumbling cliff that would collapse on him at any time.

Many of these hardcover books and encyclopedia dictionaries are printed in coated paper. They are clearly edged and firm, and are no different from bricks. If they hit a person's head, they may be able to make a few long and two shorts.

"Brother Niu!"

Li Yao shouted loudly and rushed over.

Just as he rushed over, the bookshelf, along with the encyclopedia dictionary and hardcover books above, collapsed, and the sharp edges and corners of the book rushed straight to the author's temple.

"ah?"

Zhang Daniu suddenly shuddered, woke up by Li Yao's roar, and turned around in a daze.

"Go away!"

Without having time to resist or hug him, Li Yao simply jumped up, kicked the author directly into the corner, and endured the consequences of the collapse of the bookshelf on behalf of the author.

"oops!"

Li Yao and Zhang Daniu screamed at the same time.

When Li Yao finally climbed out of the chaotic pile of books, the first thing he did was not to check his injuries, but to look at Zhang Daniu in the corner.

Fortunately, he held back his strength in time. In addition to kicking the author with a black eye and a blue nose and a bruised face, it seemed that he did not hurt his brain.

Zhang Daniu finally woke up.

But he was even more confused than when he was sleepwalking. He stared at Li Yao in a daze for a long time, and his expression gradually changed from confusion to pain, and he rubbed his hands, head and butt hard.

"This, what exactly is going on?"

Zhang Daniu held his head and grinned, "My head hurts so much. I remember, it seems like he was drunk..."

"That's right."

Li Yao crawled out of the pile of books, came to the author, nodded, "Brother Niu, you are drunk and have a headache after a hangover, which is normal."

"Then why is my hands so painful?"

Zhang Daniu looked at his ten fingers that were swollen into carrots and found that his nails were cracked. He couldn't believe it, "I, what am I doing?"

"You may not believe it."

Li Yao said, "You have been writing while sleepwalking."

"Is that so, I'm sleepwalking again?"

It seems that this is not the first time Zhang Daniu did “dream writing”. He did not become suspicious of this, but touched his butt and said, "Oh, his whole body hurts, and it hurts sorely, especially his butt, and his butt hurts so much. No, he can even get his butt when he drinks and gets his butt!"

"Well……"

Li Yao thought for a while, "Brother Niu, you started sleepwalking and writing since midnight. For five or six hours, you stuck to the chair and didn't move. The blood circulation was not smooth, and you felt a little sore and back pain, including buttocks discomfort, which are normal and reasonable."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Daniu grabbed two more butts and agreed with this statement, but he stared at Li Yao for a while, and suddenly remembered something again.

"You are...oh, you are Li Yao, senior brother of 'Little Rabbit in the Sea of ​​Stars'. We drank together last night, but, hey, but I remember you left last night? I think about it, you sent me home, you left, and closed the door very hard. I have an impression that you must have left!"

Zhang Daniu reached out to touch his phone, "When is the time now, why are you here?"

"It's five-thirty in the morning now. Brother Niu, you don't know that something big happened - an earthquake!"

Li Yao said, "There has just been a major earthquake of magnitude 9.2 in the Western Pacific. We all feel the tremor in Jiangnan City. I am worried that something will happen to you. Come and take a look. I'm just in time!"

"What?"

Zhang Daniu widened his eyes and suddenly woke up. "Because there was an earthquake in the Pacific Ocean, you rushed from school dozens of miles to me at around 5 o'clock in the morning to remind me to be careful... How did you come in?"

"this--"

Li Yao didn't know how to answer.

The two looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes. Suddenly, Zhang Daniu's muscles tightened and his face turned pale.

"Wait, you did go back to school last night. Even if you didn't go back to school, you'll leave if you sent me home?"

Zhang Daniu asked in a trembling voice.

"……yes."

How else can Li Yao answer?

"Then, since you sent me home and you're leaving-"
