After hanging up the call with Professor Chen,Evander searched through his contacts and found the number he hadn't dialed in half a year.The call connected quickly,and a slightly weary female voice came through on the other end.
"Hello?Is this Evander?"
Hearing the voice from the other end of the line,Evander's face softened.
"It's me!Aunt Zhang,how have you been lately?"
"I'm doing well.You,you child,haven't called me in over half a year!"
"I'm fine,Aunt Zhang,I'm doing well.By the way,how is everything there?It's been quite turbulent recently!"
"I've seen the news.Although I don't know exactly how serious it is,we are already preparing supplies.How about your place?Are you facing any difficulties?"
"I'm okay.I already have a shelter.By the way,Aunt Zhang,why don't you all come over here?My place is big enough for all of you to stay!"
"No need.We have over a hundred people,including children and teachers.We can take care of ourselves.Besides,we are close to the government.As for you,you're all alone and without support.If you can't hold on,come back.Aunt Zhang's place may not have delicacies,but I can make sure you're fed.Of course,you'll have to work for it!"
A light laugh came from the other end of the line.
"Alright,I understand,Aunt Zhang!I've transferred some money to your account.Use it first!You can't stock up on supplies without money!!That's it!I have other things to do,so I'll be busy.Goodbye!"
"Ah,you..."
"Beep beep beep..."
In Qing City,next to Hai City,an orphanage,a middle-aged woman with a slender figure looked at the disconnected phone with a helpless expression.
"Ah,this child,really doesn't give one peace of mind."
Aunt Zhang smiled helplessly.
"Aunt Zhang,look,there's suddenly an extra million in our account..."
"What?!!"
Aunt Zhang was shocked,then looked at the phone with a stunned expression,and after a while,she sighed quietly.
"You must not do anything foolish..."
After hanging up the phone,Evander sighed helplessly.
Aunt Zhang's real name is Zhang Susu,who is the director of an orphanage called Sunshine Orphanage.When Evander was four or five years old and became an orphan,he was adopted by Zhang Susu and lived in the orphanage until the day he was admitted to university.Evander then bid farewell to Zhang Susu and the others and came to the university in Hai City.
Originally,Evander wanted to attend university in Qing City,but Zhang Susu thought that since the scores were enough,he should go to university in Hai City.They would help find ways to cover the tuition,but the orphanage's funds were already limited.The food for dozens of children,staff,and occasional volunteers was a significant expense.If Evander's tuition was added,it would be even more difficult.
Evander didn't want to affect others because of himself,so he planned to work outside.If it weren't for meeting Thaddeus later,Evander might have had to passively give up.
Originally,Evander wanted to directly bring them to the shelter,but Aunt Zhang disagreed,and he couldn't force the entire orphanage to come.So,he simply gave them money to collect supplies,at least ensuring food and water.
Moreover,the orphanage had a sizable underground warehouse,and it was close to the government.The government would definitely not ignore such a place,so the safety factor was not low.
Time flew by quickly,and in the blink of an eye,five days passed,and the Spring Festival arrived.
Although it was the Spring Festival day,there was no festive atmosphere at all.
Everyone,with worried faces,stayed in what they thought were safe places,quietly waiting for the disaster to happen.
Evander was in his luxurious room,eating lobster,abalone,steak,and mutton,drinking beverages and wine.
In front of him,there was also a huge screen.
The screen displayed the official countdown for the meteorite impact.
Although Thaddeus was the shelter's butler,he was a product of a third-level civilization and could easily hack into any country in the world.
Soon,when the countdown reached zero,the image on the screen turned into a live broadcast.
Two meteorites,as large as mountains,rushed into the atmosphere,creating intense sparks from the friction.The intense heat burned the surface of the meteorites,and invisible cosmic viruses spread through the air at this moment...
They seemed to ignore the high temperature caused by the friction with the atmosphere and dispersed with the wind.
At the same time,after falling at high speed,the two meteorites hit a certain place in the Pacific Ocean.
Instantly,the active volcanoes at the bottom of the ocean erupted due to the impact.
A huge tsunami formed quickly,and the coastal cities of the surrounding countries were submerged by the tens of meters high tsunami within just a few minutes.
The strong earthquake caused by the impact was happening in every country.
The strong earthquake shattered countless high-rise buildings.
The collapsed buildings buried an unknown number of people.
The crust moved,and deep cracks appeared on the ground of countless cities.
Countless people,cars,and houses fell into them,with unknown life and death.
Countless volcanoes erupted suddenly at this moment.
Volcanic ash was wantonly scattered in the sky.
Gradually,it covered the entire blue planet,blocking out the sun.
Countless people died in this disaster!
Countless coastal cities became the Atlantis of the sea at this moment!
A global power outage and internet outage made people feel deeply desperate.
At this moment,humans standing at the top of the blue planet seemed extremely fragile.
Inside the shelter,even Evander,who was sitting calmly,felt the shelter shaking.
The shelter,which could withstand a nuclear strike,was shaking,which shows how powerful the meteorite impact was.
Half an hour later,the disaster slowly subsided.
At this moment,in front of Evander,there was a huge display screen.
It showed the surveillance of the main roads and areas of Hai City.
However,due to various disasters,many surveillance facilities were destroyed and failed...
But even the surveillance that could be seen showed an extremely tragic scene.
Countless people were pressed in the walls,crying in pain.
Those who were lucky were pressed a little shallow,and those who were unlucky were directly pressed into minced meat.
Some people looked around with dust on their faces,confused and at a loss.The half hour just now seemed like a lifetime.
There are also people who are digging the ruins with anxious faces,regardless of the wounds and pain on their bodies,trying to save their relatives who are being pressed under the ruins at this moment.
There are also people cursing at the sky...
But what can be seen is only the ruins like a dream and the volcanic ash that blocks out the sky and the sun.
No more sunlight can be seen...
"Thaddeus,tell me the damage caused by this impact!"
"Sir,the damage caused by this meteorite impact is very great,and the impact is extremely serious.The most serious is the coastal areas and some small island nations.They are now basically the whole city submerged in the sea,and the casualties may exceed seventy percent!"
