Time: 1:16 p.m., June 16, 2015

Location: X City Guogou Plaza

The State Shopping Plaza in City X is always bustling. This is the commercial center of X City, with a huge flow of people every day, and a variety of restaurants and shops are available here. But this prosperity will be destroyed today.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky, shattering the glass of the shop. Immediately afterward, the people who had not yet reacted looked up in horror, then screamed and fled in all directions. Smoke billowed from all over the city. The sound is endless. Sirens began to sound everywhere as well.

I was in a board game store in the National Shopping Mall. When the bang sounded, I, like everyone else, looked outside in horror and saw the chaos outside. I couldn't help but have questions. Having undergone physical training, I suddenly reacted as if something bad had happened and rushed out the door decisively.

When I got outside, I realized that things were much worse than I had imagined. I was amazed to see people fleeing in confusion, screaming incessantly. The State Shopping Plaza also gradually collapsed at this time. Swept by the crowd, I struggled to move towards the street outside the square.

When I got out of the square, I found that the streets were full of black smoke, flames were everywhere, and cars were parked everywhere. That's when I realized that the news I had seen the other day was true.

Just a few days ago, I browsed a piece of news on the Internet, which said that the leaders of Z City suddenly announced the independence of Z City, as a normal Celestial Empire culture education, I naturally wouldn't believe it, so I didn't take this as a thing, I believe that most people are the same as me. But now, it's happening right now. And the goal of Z City is also the X City connected to it.

Well, I sighed helplessly. My character forced me to accept this fact and made me calm down in the first place. I felt like I should call my father at this point.

The phone beeped a few times, but no one answered. The phone doesn't work. I called again, but it was still the same. I confirm that I did not dial the wrong number.

Since my family lives in a development zone, I don't worry much about the sudden war affecting my family. I would only think that my father was taking a nap. Let's hope it doesn't happen. I thought to myself. But the heartbeat just now moved twice (it should be a vertical heart next to the 'season', and it can't be typed).

I put away my phone and ran in the direction of my home, watching the people running and the police busy blocking the streets.

You can't run back if you run. I thought as I looked at the side of the road looking for transportation. Immediately spotted an unlocked bicycle, and at this time he didn't care about anything, so he straddled it with his head, pedaled the pedal hard, and accelerated to move quickly in the direction of home.

I saw a lot of people running away with me all the way, riding small vehicles, the situation is forced, because now X City has fallen into a serious traffic jam, crowds and cars are staggered together, it is really very chaotic.

I slowed down suddenly, and immediately turned around and entered a small road leading to Meihai Park in X City, Meihai Lane, because I could turn directly to the development area through this path.

The truth is not as simple as I thought. There are also many people running away from Meihai Park. The scene was extremely chaotic. Because Meihai Park has a steep road, one of the most common safety accidents in the Celestial Empire occurred at this time, a stampede.

People stepped on other people's bodies and accelerated to escape, blood and flesh left on the road, mixed with each other, I couldn't help but frown when I saw this scene, and my heart was vomiting, but people didn't pay attention to the screams that sounded on the ground everywhere, and they only had a quick escape in their minds, as long as they escaped from this place, they must be safe. I've also come close to being hit by people coming from behind several times.

In this regard, I had to give up my bicycle and walk along the steep stone forest by the stream under Meihai Park. I heard the screams from the vicinity frequently, and I felt sad for the people who fell to the ground and screamed continuously, but now the situation was no longer for me to choose, and I tried to climb over the stone forest and move forward with all my might.

Finally out of the stone forest with difficulty, I took a step towards the main road. Standing on the side of the road and looking at the billowing smoke in the center of the city in the distance, and the gradually crumbling city, I don't know what to say. But the sudden sound of the firefight in my ears made me feel terrified, and I immediately turned back and continued my escape.

Meihai Park is still some distance from the development zone, so I grabbed a bottle of mineral water from a newspaper hall on the side of the road and continued to the development zone. But then I felt inappropriate, and I turned around and put 2 yuan on the newsstand before leaving with peace of mind.

City X is a small city that has been developing a cultural industry recently, so there are some calligraphy and paintings posted on the roadside. But at this time, he was not in the mood to pay attention to these and try to move forward. Because of the vibrations from the soles of the feet from time to time, and the sound of firefights in the ears became more and more rapid.

Just as I was passing by an intersection, several helicopters suddenly passed in the sky, and I quickly found a bush to hide. I saw a few small groups of soldiers landing in the helicopter, and I saw that the clothes were not from City X, but they must be from City Z, and the equipment seemed to be more sophisticated.

The helicopter flew away after they landed, and they kept reporting on the situation via voice communication devices. Then he continued to speed up and cautiously and quickly in the direction of the city.

I waited in the grass for dozens of minutes, finally making sure that there were no more troops nearby before I hurriedly got up. After patting the dust and mud on my body, I began to worry about the situation at home, and because of the army that had just landed and the helicopters that flew by from time to time, it made me more careful. During this time, I heard a lot of screams and firefights coming from behind me. When I looked back, I saw that it was full of messes.

The development zone in the distance now looks like a military garrison in City X, as I hear the sound of firefighting coming from there from time to time. I stopped and tried to communicate with the guards, but they were very cold to me and even disdained to look at me. Because of my stubbornness, they raised their pistols. It's not a good feeling to be pointed at a gun from a black hole. But I naturally knew the preciousness of life, and now I would not doubt its authenticity, and slowly walked towards another road to the suburbs with my hands raised. Laughter kept passing through their ears, and sarcasm kept coming from their mouths. I peeked back and saw that the gun was still pointed at me, but I was just an ordinary junior high school student!

It's a long way to get to the development zone through this road, but at this point I have no other way back, because the other roads are blocked, and people passing by along the way say that the development zone has now become the main military garrison of City X. This inevitably made me more and more worried about my father's safety.

I didn't have a mother since I was a child, which also made me develop a strong heart and understand the importance of my father, so I had a very good relationship with him. I value it very much.

I walked along the road on the road of Wanling Bay in X City, Wanling Bay is a medium-sized lake, located on the outskirts of X City, standing here and looking across the lake you can see Y City. There is sand on the shore of the lake, the sand is very fine and soft, and the reflection of the sun's rays on it makes the sand glow golden. I remember coming here for a walk with my father, and I used to come here to play with other friends during this time. This memory feels clearer now than before. For some reason, I became more and more worried about my father. My pace became faster and faster, and slowly, I accelerated and ran.

I looked at my watch, it was 5 p.m., but the sun was still so hot that I couldn't run, and there were no shops nearby where I could rehydrate. So I slowly slowed down and slowly walked towards the development zone. Along the way, not a single person passed by this road.

At night, I finally approached my neighborhood from a small road, and I saw that there was no one in the neighborhood and the gate was guarded, and I couldn't help but feel worried. I sneaked into this unbuilt neighborhood from the small road, found a small shop that I frequented, rehydrated from the small shop, and moved in the direction of home. Along the way, they constantly hide to avoid the patrols of the guards. There were a few times when it was very thrilling.

I got to the floor where my house was, and after getting acquainted with the surrounding environment, I slowly went upstairs, and it was dark in front of me, although there was a touch switch in the hallway, but opening it in this case was tantamount to a statement that there were still people living here. The darkness was indeed frightening, but I was not afraid of anything, and slowly groped my way upstairs.

Finally got to the fifth floor, where my house was. To my delight, the floor where my house was located did not seem to be manned, and I took out the key and opened it carefully, knowing that on a night like this, the slightest noise can easily attract people's attention, which is why I had to be so careful.

Slowly pulling out the key, I closed the door softly, and entered the room, where I anxiously searched for my father in every room, but to my surprise - there was no one in all the rooms. I immediately called the phone, but there was still no answer, but the room rang with my father's mobile phone, I picked up my father's mobile phone with difficulty, I didn't know what to say, my eyes were full of disbelief, and my hands were clenched. At this time, I couldn't help but start to feel anxious, and I felt more and more confused, and I looked out the window and muttered, "Father, where are you going?"
