Chapter 1: The End of the City

"Bald donkey, you, you, you - don't know how to love......"

Heartbreaking, almost collapsing singing erupted from a large mouth in the front row of the cab, accompanied by a large, side-to-side head and saliva flying in the air.

When singing to the high tide, you even have to press the horn a few times sharply and twist your buttocks vigorously.

"I'll wipe it!"

Zhou Wei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but cover his entire head in pain, this is really the rhythm of being bombarded until there are no bones! In this world, there are so many people with personality!

But Zhou had no choice but to protest.

Because just ten days ago, he had just graduated from a third-rate university in his prime, and he was in good spirits, and he hadn't thought about how to live a more exciting life in his next life? He was first kicked by his girlfriend and flew out of 108,000 miles!

Immediately after, the blessing is incomparable, the disaster is not a single line, his old hat, the nouveau riche father Zhou Yue who is also like Grande, immediately showed his true face fiercely, cutting off all the sources of funds for Zhou Wei's life, and without saying a word, he kicked him out of his hometown Chishan City, and rushed to X City, which is thousands of miles away, completely unfamiliar, and also called it a beautiful name, self-reliance, hard work!

Struggle for a bird's feather!

The old guy's mouthful, huge, Tyrannosaurus-like 94K pure gold teeth, knocking down two at random, are enough for his living expenses for different years.

It is also in such a desperate situation that Zhou Weixiao, who has no relatives in X City, and has no classmates or acquaintances, had to temporarily find this job as a food delivery man with the least added value, responsible for going from X City to B City 45 kilometers away, and D City 125 kilometers away, with a low salary, tired like a stupid dog every day, but at least not starving to death.

It's just that the newcomer dog really has no human rights, and the only thing Zhou Wei can do for the driver's special hobby is to cover his head and hypnotize himself - I didn't hear it, I really didn't hear anything......

"Squeak...... Ga...... Boom...... Duang……”

Maybe it was caused by Zhou Wei's strong resentment, not long after the truck left the Xicheng toll station in X City and entered the ring highway, Zhou Wei suddenly braked sharply on a black car in front of them, but at this speed of more than 70 kilometers and less than 20 meters apart, even if Jia Datou reacted quickly enough and quickly stepped on the brakes, he couldn't avoid a close contact with the butt of the car in front of him.

And Zhou Wei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, although he was used to wearing a seat belt, was also scared, and at that moment, his neck was almost strangled by the seat belt.

However, before the two of them were frightened, they only heard a loud "bang" from behind, but the vehicle behind their light van did not have time to brake and crashed into it!

The huge power was suddenly transmitted, and all of a sudden, Zhou Wei and their van slammed forward viciously like a beast, and there was a squeaky sound, so that the unlucky child in front of him, who had just opened the car door and was trembling and was about to get out of the car, was directly scared again and squeaked!

"I'm your uncle!"

Jia Datou was already scolding, fortunately, he and Zhou were not injured, but the problem is that this light van used for delivery is his own car, which has just been bought back for less than half a year.

Zhou Wei is not his business, he is just a low value-added delivery man, so after the initial surprise, he jumped out without saying a word, in fact, he is quite puzzled, because it is less than two kilometers away from the entrance of the highway out of the city, the field of vision is wide, the road is flat, two-way eight lanes, not even a fork in the road, in this case, it should be difficult to have any car accidents!

However, as soon as Zhou Wei jumped out of the car, there was a dull sound of rumbling from the ground, and at the same time, the whole earth shook violently, and he fell to the ground directly, as for Jia Datou next to him, he shouted with a scream of more than 120 decibels, as if he had been raped, "Earthquake, help!" ”

It's really amazing to jump while shouting, and you can still maintain your body's balance in such a state!

Zhou Wei secretly despised it, but he didn't panic much, because the strong tremor just now lasted less than two seconds, and then it returned to stability.

Quickly got up, Zhou Wei immediately observed the surroundings, and found that in a short period of time, the traffic on the entire highway stopped, the driver and passengers were squeaking, jumping down with teeth and claws, not far away on a bus that seemed to be a travel agency, the passengers were already crackling open the windows, jumping down, panicked.

But just after about seven or eight seconds of calm, about two or three hundred meters ahead, suddenly a violent rumbling sound sounded again, and then I saw smoke and dust billowing out, and more than a dozen cars of various colors were all swallowed up at once, as if there was a huge gluttonous mouth hidden there, constantly devouring.

In fact, it was exactly that, because as the roar became louder and louder, I saw that the ground in front of me began to crumble continuously, sweeping in the direction of Zhou Wei and them.

For a while, screams rang out, and everyone ran backwards in a hurry, and if they were a step too late, they would fall directly with the collapse.

"I-my car, I'm going to turn around!" At this time, Jia Datou had the courage, of course, mainly because he was reluctant to let his car go, so he climbed back into the driver's seat and wanted to drive the truck away.

"Master Big Head, let's go!"

Zhou Wei rushed up and ripped off the confused Jia Datou, pulled him and ran back, and just a few seconds later, the terrible collapse wave rushed over, directly collapsing the truck.

When the collapse continued to advance for fifty or sixty meters, it slowly stopped, and as the smoke and dust dissipated, what appeared in front of Zhou Yi and the others was a huge rift valley more than five hundred meters wide, I don't know how deep it was, but the terrible thing was that this huge rift was in a straight state, cutting the suburbs of X City.

It's weird.

"I've never seen such an earthquake, it seems that the central epicenter of this earthquake is where we stood before, and it has a very three-dimensional, directional blasting earthquake, I suspect that it is difficult to feel a strong earthquake in the center of the city."

At this time, in the panicked crowd, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a bit of a scholar said solemnly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he shook his head and said to himself: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, our X city is not in the earthquake zone, and the underground plate is extremely stable, if even our X city has an earthquake, then other places are just like hell." ”

"Hello sir, I'm Luo Xiaomin, a reporter from X City TV, can I interview you about the earthquake that just happened? You said that the way this earthquake happened was something that had never happened before, right, so what do you think is the difference? ”

At this time, a very flamboyant young woman with a voice recorder was very keen to catch this large wild spectacle scholar.

"Ahem, this phenomenon involves very complex academic issues, and to understand what is different about this strange earthquake, we must first know what a continental plate ...... is."

Facing the young and gorgeous female reporter, the glasses scholar did not have any stage fright, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and answered in an orderly and graceful manner, and when everyone present was about to passively accept an ABC option about earthquakes, the earth suddenly trembled slightly again.

"Ahhh

This time the screams were even louder, and this was probably the knock-on effect of the frightened bird.

"Don't panic, everyone, this is just an aftershock, the power of the aftershock is not great, and I just talked about the ...... of the continental plate" The glasses scholar was quite calm at this time, waving his hands, full of strong and powerful voices, which was very appealing, but made most people quiet.

"You don't have to worry, the earthquake, to put it simply, is the oscillation pressure caused by the movement of the earth plates to each other, once this pressure is released, then it is equivalent to safety, and you see, before the five or six hundred meters wide, I don't know how long the huge crack, in fact, has released the concrete embodiment of the impact pressure of the earth plates, we are actually safe......"

Just as the spectacle scholar was gushing into his speech, a scream interrupted him again, but it was a girl who looked like a seventeen or eighteen student, and she pointed to the huge crack in front of her with a horrified face.

"We—we're sinking, the earth is sinking!"

Hearing this, Zhou Wei and the others also tried their best to look at the opposite side of the crack five or six hundred meters away, but they didn't see anything, after all, at such a distance, and there was no reference, even if the earth sank or rose two or three meters, they couldn't see anything.

"Ah, little girl, don't be afraid, due to the collision of continental plates, the land rises and sinks, that is normal, the so-called vicissitudes of the sea, this is the truth, the world's highest peak Everest, many tens of thousands of years ago, or the sea, so, tens of centimeters, or even a few meters of height difference, is still very common, but, how do you calculate this kind of drop, using the golden theorem of Hook three strands, four strings and five? Wow, that's so clever. At this time, the spectacle scholar appeared again in a very high-profile manner, with a kind smile, a calm tone, kind eyes, broad shoulders, and a wise temperament like a cigarette butt in the night, which was so different.

"I-I-I'm an elevator phobia, as soon as the elevator goes up or down, I'm - I'm out of breath, so, so, the earth is going down, and, at a constant speed, at a uniform speed." The girl cried out in horror.

These words are really too lethal, even a wise scholar can't help but turn pale, as for everyone, they didn't think that when they were reminded at this time, they were all a little sunk.

For a while, screams rang out, and everyone turned around and ran, wanting to get away from the huge crack, but before they had run a few hundred meters, the feeling of falling at a uniform speed was becoming clearer and clearer, and it was accelerating!

When Zhou Wei looked back at this time, the difference that was not obvious before was already able to see a gap of about tens of meters at this moment.

Moreover, the drop continued to accelerate, and everyone froze, because they suddenly realized that it was not the position where they were standing was sinking, but the entire city of X was sinking, because if you take those buildings in the center of the city as a reference, then it has not changed at all, but behind them, on the opposite side of the big crack, there is already a cliff of hundreds of meters!

What's even more terrifying is that this cliff is very long, very long, according to the current situation, it is very likely that the big crack is around the entire X City, like cutting a cake, cutting out the X City as a whole, and then, the entire city with a radius of fifty kilometers begins to descend calmly at a uniform speed!

Everyone's hearts were pale, and they couldn't even scream!

In just a minute, a huge basin appeared in front of their eyes, yes, a circular basin, all surrounded by cliffs hundreds of meters high, like an extra-large well!

The sun was still shining, but it had already begun to cast a huge shadow, and this shadow was expanding extremely fast, quickly catching up and covering Zhou Wei and the others, and speeding towards the city center, that is, the center of this basin!

Undoubtedly, it won't be long before a dot of sunlight will appear there.

Is this the end of the world?

No, perhaps, it's just the end of the city.
