—This was a torrential downpour sweeping across the entire globe.
From the Old General, Bai Zhi had confirmed the news.
Starting at five o'clock Beijing time this morning, it had begun raining everywhere in the world—even in barren places like deserts. There were no exceptions.
No one knew where this downpour had come from, nor did anyone know why it had arrived.
It seemed that not long after the previous disaster had passed, the next one had silently descended.
Perhaps the only thing worth being thankful for was that tests had found no unusual contaminants in the rainwater... though it was also possible that none had been detected yet.
The downpour had only just begun and had not yet had much of an impact on the world itself. But if this global rainstorm did not stop, they would have to prepare for the worst.
"What exactly is going on?"
After Bai Zhi hung up, Mu Qiansè, seated in the passenger seat, asked with some concern.
During the time they had pulled over by the roadside to make the call, the rain outside had grown increasingly heavier. The sky had already been as dim as it would be around three or four in the afternoon, but now it was nearly dusk.
This weather was absolutely abnormal.
"Our date is ruined. Another disaster has arrived... or perhaps it's a sign that disaster is about to arrive."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Bai Zhi turned to look out the window.
Outside, rain poured in wild torrents.
They were still on the highway, with endless mountain ranges lining both sides of the road. The mountains lurked within the downpour like enormous shadows, while a dense patter of rain striking the vehicle echoed overhead.
"So be it. There'll be other chances... Another disaster has descended?"
