The world was still doing its utmost to maintain normal operations.
This was the reality Su Ze saw before him.
Even across the ocean, where the abnormalities had first appeared, the authorities were barely maintaining social order by deploying the military and police onto the streets.
"How long can this order last?"
Muttering to himself, Su Ze set his phone on the table and focused on eating breakfast.
He continued thinking. The only reason order could still be maintained at this stage was that no true catastrophe had yet occurred.
The temperature had not suddenly plummeted.
The planet's magnetic field had not fallen into disorder.
People remained at home, continuing to enjoy the water and electricity provided by modern industrial civilization.
They continued using communication networks as usual, ate their fill, and slept soundly, so order had yet to collapse.
But if any one of those conditions changed, things might take on an entirely more horrifying form.
And the truly terrifying Contamination Zones had yet to make their appearance...
"Su Ze, are you still going to school today?" Chen Keqing, who was also watching the news, suddenly asked.
She had just checked her class group chat, where everyone seemed to be discussing whether they should go to school today.
"Have you forgotten what happened last night so quickly? To be safe, we're not going anywhere today," Su Ze answered seriously.
"True..." Chen Keqing nodded.
She secretly thought to herself that, putting aside every other danger, the world was ending already—who would still go to school? That would be a sign of something wrong with their brain.
But from another perspective, once she truly accepted that the world was ending, fear came rushing at her... The words "world ending" were clearly far more frightening than the words "going to school."
Bzz—
