Revitalization of Spirituality: My Front Door Leads to a Miniature Universe
Chapter 17 Current Situation
Liuli City.
This is a major city on the southwestern border of the Chinese Dragon Kingdom, with a population of over one million and extremely prosperous.
It's very chaotic right now. The streets are congested, and the sound of car horns is incessant. Shouts and curses are even more frequent and noisy.
The streets were filled with people fleeing, some with minimal renovations and others carrying large and small bags.
The only thing they had in common was the look of terror on their faces, as they glanced at the blood-red giant tree overhead from time to time.
Just then, a huge roar came from the distant street, and the earth trembled.
"Is this the end of the world?"
Many people stepped aside and stared in horror at what was in front of them.
A pitch-black cannon muzzle appeared first, followed by dozens of tanks marching in a long procession.
He was surrounded by a group of heavily armed soldiers, each with a solemn and dignified expression, who jogged alongside him.
They moved like the most violent torrent, and everyone fled in their wake.
Some vehicles blocking the road were crushed into dust, and everyone fell silent, watching everything.
"Residents, please do not panic. All the supernatural phenomena that have occurred have been brought under control. We hope that everyone will continue to live their normal lives and not panic."
"We will be taking over this area to maintain order!"
A loud, solemn, and imposing broadcast emanated from inside the tank.
Many panicked people stopped and their tense nerves relaxed, but their eyes still held sorrow and fear.
"Let us go. Staying here is a dead end. Who knows what terrible things might happen."
"Exactly! I heard that ancient corpses have fallen from the sky. What if they come back to life, or carry a deadly virus? We'll all die!"
"Make way, let us pass!"
Someone roared and charged forward, trying to break through the defenses.
The crowd, which had just calmed down, became agitated again and began to force their way through.
Strangely, the soldiers did not stop them, but let them leave.
"We're here to protect you, we won't stop you from anything, but we need to remind you that strange phenomena are occurring all over the country. Where can you go?"
The voice from the loudspeaker was no longer so serious, carrying a hint of lament and helplessness.
Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent instantly, their faces turning grim. Even the first person to break through the defense line stopped in place, lost in thought.
"By the way, where can we escape to?"
"Strange changes are happening all over the country, and in some places even terrifying and bizarre things have appeared."
"I'm not leaving. Even if I die, I want to die in my hometown."
Is death our final fate?
........
Some people burst into tears and collapsed to the ground. The crowd began to return one after another, no longer rushing out.
They looked up at the towering tree above them and sighed helplessly.
Compared to the anomalies in other regions, this place seems much milder.
"Don't worry too much. As the old saying goes, there's always a way out. There will be an army to protect you, and this strange event... might be an opportunity."
The voice from the loudspeaker came again, sounding very solemn, seemingly implying something.
Everyone seemed to be deep in thought; by this point, everyone knew that these matters were not simple.
Ancient legends and even content from books and novels came to mind one by one.
That belongs to another explicit languageācultivation!
A spark of hope was planted in a heart filled with despair.
The crowd's fear and resistance lessened, and some even turned from sorrow to joy, wondering, "Could I become the first immortal on Earth?"
"Cultivators...flying through the air...am I one of them?"
"Heroes have always emerged from chaotic times, rising from the ashes of destruction and ruin."
Some passionate young people are not pessimistic at all; on the contrary, they are full of enthusiasm. For them, the exploration of new things is far greater than the fear of death.
The city is returning to order, but some people are still leaving their homes and planning to leave.
Not everyone is so optimistic, wanting to secure a stable life for themselves and their families.
Long lines surged from all directions, without riots or tears; their faces showed only fear of the future and confusion about the road ahead.
Meanwhile, in Liuli City, there is Xiangshui Pavilion, a five-star hotel.
The flashing lights did not stop flashing because of the anomaly; on the contrary, they became even more dazzling against the shadows, and the waiters inside the gate continued to greet and see off customers as normal business was operating.
For no other reason than that it belongs to the Taihua Group of the Dragon Kingdom, which has abundant wealth, great power and resources that are difficult for ordinary people to reach.
He once promised his employees that he would take care of each and every one of them even if the end of the world came!
And that is exactly what they did, demonstrating extraordinary responsibility during several major disasters.
Therefore, even now that the anomaly has occurred, the employees inside are calmer than others.
Now that order has been restored in Liuli City, it has naturally returned to its former prosperity, even surpassing its former glory.
Some people who are usually reluctant to spend money have started to splurge extravagantly, calling it "a deathbed indulgence."
Just then, two young men arrived at the door; they were Gu Yuan and the fat man.
"Dad, you really are Dad! What have you done to me?"
The fat man's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible and hadn't recovered yet; even his lips were trembling.
"Watch carefully and learn well."
Gu Yuan didn't say anything more, and pulled the former into the room. Now was not the time to be honest with him.
The fat man fainted the moment he entered the void portal and had no idea what had happened.
As soon as I entered, I was stopped by a waiter. "Excuse me, we're full."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately perked up, his eyes widening to the largest size in his life, revealing a hint of ferocity.
"It's definitely full, I'm sorry."
The waiter spoke again apologetically.
"Forget it, let's keep looking."
Gu Yuan sighed helplessly; he was also very disappointed.
"If you don't mind, you can sit at my table."
Just then, a pleasant voice came from inside the gate.
A woman with a slender figure and cascading black hair walked out, her beautiful face adorned with a gentle smile that was as refreshing as a spring breeze.
"Zhao Qingqiu? Isn't this my old classmate? It's a rare sight indeed!"
The fat man immediately composed himself and strode over to greet her enthusiastically, surrounding the woman and showering her with praise.
The woman greeted him with a smile, her gaze finally settling on Gu Yuan. Then, her expression changed slightly, revealing a set of pearly white teeth as she leaned closer and said with a hint of annoyance:
"What, is the old squad leader not giving us face?"
The woman covered her red lips with her delicate hand and let out a series of light laughs like silver bells. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, looked very lively and playful.
"Fine, I'll go. What are you afraid of? You think you can eat me?"
Gu Yuan composed herself and strode inside with the fat man, her expression somewhat unnatural.
Zhao Qingqiu followed closely behind.
The three of them went upstairs to a private room. It was a luxurious and spacious room with a light fragrance that made people feel relaxed.
"Let's start serving the food."
Zhao Qingqiu gave the instructions with a beaming smile.
The waiter quickly brought out four sets of bowls and chopsticks. Gu Yuan's heart sank immediately. The fat man looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Only Zhao Qingqiu was secretly laughing, her eyes brimming with undisguised amusement as she looked over.
