"Come on, it's already August 2013! The 2012 prophecy has already been proven false. Who would still believe in such ridiculous predictions of the end of the world?"
"Li Jiayu, are you out of your mind?"
"Is it fun to play such a low-level joke? Are you treating us like fools?"
"Talking about spatial oscillations and parallel universes, hah, have you been reading too many novels and gotten water in your brain?"
The classmates all laughed, purely treating Li Jiayu's words as a joke to attract attention, not believing a word of it.
Throughout history, there have been countless small and large predictions of the end of the world, as numerous as cow hairs. But as time passed, these apocalyptic lies all crumbled on their own—especially after entering 2013, people sneered at predictions of the end of the world, thinking anyone who believed them was a fool.
"Li Jiayu, stop messing around. Look outside, it's so sunny and pleasant. How could the end of the world be happening right now?"
Sun Weiwei laughed sarcastically and pointed out the window. Outside, the sky was clear and blue, with white clouds drifting lazily. The campus scenery was beautiful, and you could faintly see students laughing and couples strolling on the paths.
Li Jiayu walked to the window, sniffed, and greedily breathed in the fresh air. He gazed into the distance, as if trying to engrave the last bit of tranquility of the campus in his heart. Looking at his carefree and content classmates, he could almost see their tragic deaths. Li Jiayu felt a lump in his throat and said hoarsely:
"Just wait and see, my friends. What's about to happen will scare you out of your wits. If you survive, you'll never forget this moment for the rest of your life!"
Yes, if anyone could survive the bloody and brutal apocalypse, they would deeply remember the moment the end of the world arrived, down to the second!
August 29, 2013, 4:33:49 PM
Li Jiayu clearly remembered that unprecedented disasters erupted simultaneously around the world. The violent oscillation of the Earth's crust triggered a series of volcanic eruptions, mudslides, landslides, collapses, storms, floods, and tsunamis.
No one knew how many cities were destroyed by earthquakes and tsunamis, and it was impossible to count how many people died in these natural disasters.
But Li Jiayu felt that dying in a natural disaster might still be lucky.
Because the survivors would face even more terrifying threats, living in constant fear and despair, with many living lives worse than death!
Just in the first wave of alien attacks, a rough estimate was that over a billion people died!
Being bitten by blood-sucking insects in the blood vessels...
Being cracked open by soul-devouring beasts to have their brains sucked out...
Being wrapped up by corpse spiders and melted into a pool of flesh...
Being decapitated by scythe beetles and having eggs laid in their heads...
The terrifying insect tide was staging a massacre of unimaginable cruelty on Earth!
People say human wars are cruel, but compared to the slaughter by the insect race, they are as gentle as a mother cat!
However, the insect race was still the weakest of the invading races on Earth. There were also zombies, ghouls, skeletons, and spirits from the Abyss, countless non-living entities that science could not explain!
The arrival of the apocalypse also pointed the way to a new direction for the technology-dominated Earth...
"Now, you should quickly cover your ears. There will be a thunderclap that will deafen you."
"Who would believe you? Oh, the time is almost here, five... four... three... two... one, sure enough, nothing happened..."
A classmate who was arguing with Li Jiayu looked at his phone and loudly counted down, but before he could finish saying "happened," a thunderclap suddenly rang in his ears!
"Boom"
The thunder was extremely loud, causing the window glass to vibrate slightly, and the eardrums to hurt even more.
"Ah~"
The girls, caught off guard, quickly covered their ears, some turning pale and screaming shrilly, which was extremely piercing!
"This is... a thunderclap on a clear day..."
All the male classmates, stunned by the shock, looked at Li Jiayu, who still had that calm and heavy expression—how did he guess it?
Was it a blind cat hitting a dead rat?
It couldn't be that coincidental, right?
After all, thunderclaps on clear days are rare, and such a loud one is even rarer. For Li Jiayu to predict a thunderclap on a clear day the next second was very mysterious, making people look at him with strange eyes.
Subconsciously, many classmates began to feel uneasy, a sense of unease rising in their hearts.
"Damn, have you already mastered feng shui? You even predicted this. Could you really be a cultivator? Quickly take me as your disciple..."
A classmate laughed and said.
"I don't have time to joke with you... keep watching. In two minutes, the sky will be covered by thick black clouds... or, try calling someone now and see if there's any signal."
Li Jiayu said, then turned and walked out of the classroom. Sun Weiwei, anxious, shouted at Li Jiayu:
"Where are you going? Running away after blowing hot air? The class meeting isn't over yet..."
Li Jiayu didn't look back, clenched his fist, and felt a faint desire to fight. As he walked, he said:
"To get a weapon!"
"What?"
"A fire axe!"
"Are you crazy? Taking the fire axe from the corridor will get you punished!"
"I don't have time to argue with you. Take care of yourselves first."
As Li Jiayu walked out of the classroom, Sun Weiwei was about to chase after him when she heard Qiao Nanana's voice: "My phone really has no signal."
Jiang Lichuan's voice followed:
"Mine too, the signal is interrupted."
The classmates checked their phones one by one and found that none of them had any signal.
At this moment, Sun Weiwei was panicked. If it was just the thunderclap, it could be explained as a coincidence, but for Li Jiayu to predict the signal interruption as well, it was definitely not a coincidence but a certainty.
"How... how did he know? Could it be that what he said wasn't a joke?"
Not just Sun Weiwei, but all the girls in the class were uneasy, their scalps tingling.
"Don't panic, signal interruptions happen all the time. We're used to it. Don't take what Li Jiayu said to heart. He must have eaten something wrong today. Don't go crazy with him..."
A classmate who wasn't very friendly with Li Jiayu said, but he quickly shut up when he saw the dark clouds rapidly forming outside the window.
"Rumble"
The classmates gathered by the window, staring in shock as the dark clouds rapidly gathered and surged. At first, they thought it was a rare thundercloud, but soon someone noticed something was wrong. The speed at which the clouds rolled and gathered was too fast, almost as if they appeared out of nowhere!
In less than a minute, the sky was filled with rolling thunder, the sky quickly darkening, the sun completely obscured by the thick clouds. The air quickly turned cold, and a chill wind blew, making it quite cold.
"How... how could it get so dark so quickly? Where did these clouds come from? ... Oh my God, Li Jiayu said the sky would be covered by clouds in two minutes..."
Looking at the rolling black clouds, all the classmates were stunned. Some timid girls' lips trembled uncontrollably. At this point, they no longer dared to doubt Li Jiayu's words, or rather, they found it hard to muster the courage to doubt...
"It's fine... it's fine. What are you worried about? Li Jiayu said the end of the world would start with a power outage, and all electrical appliances would stop working. Look, our classroom computer is still on, and our phones are still lit..."
Sun Weiwei tried to calm everyone down, but before she finished speaking, the classroom computer "beeped" and shut down automatically, the fan stopped, and all the classmates' phones malfunctioned, the screens turning black!
At the same time, Sun Weiwei felt a cold energy sweep over her body, freezing her to the bone, as if it were trying to freeze her marrow. Her brain felt like it had been hit by dozens of shells, buzzing and ringing, making her feel as if she were about to die.
Fortunately, the energy disappeared in an instant, and Sun Weiwei quickly regained consciousness, but she found that her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she felt inexplicably exhausted.
"Ah, what was that? I felt like I was electrocuted!"
"Breathing difficulty... I almost couldn't catch my breath, as if my throat was being choked."
Everyone gasped for air as if they had just escaped, some even unable to stand and falling to the ground.
Some weak male classmates had nosebleeds from the energy shock, unable to stop the bleeding, their mouths and shirts stained with blood!
"Ah, my pants are wet... I lost control of my bladder from the scare..."
There were thirteen girls in the class, and five of them had been so scared that they wet their pants. They stood there, the urine soaking their white underwear and trickling down their smooth thighs...
Being scared to wet their pants in front of the whole class, and even wetting their skirts and stockings, made these girls, who were already thin-skinned, feel utterly ashamed, their faces red to the roots of their necks, almost crying.
Worse still, with their wet underwear sticking to their buttocks, they felt an indescribable discomfort. If they weren't so weak and powerless, they would have cried and run to the toilet, not daring to face anyone.
However, at this moment, it didn't really matter. The boys wouldn't mock them because their minds were more sensitive, and a sense of indescribable panic was spreading in their hearts...
A boy, shocked, looked at his blackened phone and said in a trembling voice:
"Space storm!"
"It's the space storm Li Jiayu talked about! The energy that swept over us was the space storm, and it made all the electrical appliances fail..."
"It's over, even the emergency lights won't turn on..."
"Everything Li Jiayu said has come true..."
Everyone looked at each other, their hair standing on end!
The sky was filled with rolling black clouds, the earth dark and gloomy, the wind howling, and the sand and stones flying. In the distance, everything was gray and hazy.
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed, illuminating the deep ravines in a blinding light.
