"Minister Qian Xian, can you figure out the cause of the extreme weather?"
Long Yan nodded slightly and asked.
"No, all weather satellites have lost contact. Now we can only wait for the bad weather to pass and see if we can restore the connection."
Qian Xian shook his head and explained.
"I understand. Let's wait until dawn and see. Other departments must also perform their duties."
Long Yan responded in a deep voice.
"Mr. Council President, rest assured that all departments are working in two shifts and are keeping a close eye on the areas they manage."
A member of parliament responded quickly.
Long Yan nodded slightly, but upon closer inspection, one could see that his tense expression had not relaxed at all. He spoke to everyone.
"Everyone, please work hard today and stay here to respond to emergencies at any time."
"good!"
Everyone responded.
…
The City of Clear Sky, the Delicious Night Market.
Shen Qiu and Huang Lang were having a great time drinking in the restaurant.
Suddenly there was a dull thunder outside.
"Shit, it's really going to rain."
Huang Lang also shuddered.
Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes and looked outside the restaurant. It was already dark and dark. The rumbling of thunder and the flash of lightning continued.
With the help of the flashing lightning, you can see the rolling dark clouds stacking up at a terrifying speed.
In an instant, a strong wind blew.
All the cars in the community and on the street sounded their sirens.
At this time, the sky was dark, lightning flashed, and branch-like lightning cut through the entire night sky. Then one lightning after another appeared, like a group of dancing snakes, and the thunder was like an explosion, as if it would shatter the whole world.
When the customers who were still eating at the night market saw this scene, expressions of surprise and horror appeared on their faces.
"The power of nature is too terrifying."
Even Shen Qiu, who was used to seeing all kinds of natural wonders, was deeply shocked by the scene before him.
At this moment, a drunk young man next door also put one foot on the table and shouted loudly.
"May I ask which Taoist friend is here to transcend the tribulation?"
After Shen Qiu heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely. What a happy idiot.
Huang Lang was suddenly startled and quickly stood up and said.
"No, brother. It looks like it's really going to rain. I have to leave quickly! I'm driving a sports car today. It will be troublesome if there is water on the road later."
"Go ahead."
Shen Qiu replied calmly while drinking beer.
"Then I'll be leaving first. You pay the bill first. I'll definitely reimburse you later."
After Huang Lang finished speaking, he ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shen Qiu drank the opened beer leisurely. He picked up his mobile phone and took a look. It was 12 o'clock, and the scarlet skull and countdown were gone.
He narrowed his eyes. This thunderstorm was really appropriate. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or something else.
Soon Shen Qiu finished the beer he had opened and started shouting.
"Bill, please!"
There was no response. Shen Qiu looked up and around the restaurant, only to find that there was no one in the lobby.
However, you can see that the lights in the kitchen are on, and the sound of dishes being washed can be heard constantly.
Shen Qiu then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
When he walked into the kitchen, he saw Zhang Li washing dishes and wiping tears.
As if he had noticed some movement, Zhang Li turned his head and saw Shen Qiu standing at the door of the back kitchen. He quickly wiped his eyes with his arm, calmed himself down, and asked.
"What is it, sir?"
"Bill, please."
Shen Qiu said calmly.
"Okay, I'll show you how many bottles of beer are left and calculate the money."
Zhang Li hurried out to see how many bottles of beer were left in the box of beer that Shen Qiu wanted.
Shen Qiu also walked back to the front hall and quietly looked at Zhang Li who was counting the beer bottles and spoke.
"If you're not watching in the front hall, aren't you afraid that we won't pay and leave? Then you'll have to pay for it yourself, and these few days of work will be in vain."
Zhang Li shook his head and spoke.
"No, a total of 55 Alliance Coins."
Shen Qiu picked up his phone, scanned the money, then picked up the box and walked towards the store door.
When Shen Qiu walked to the door, a strong wind blew towards him and heavy rain poured down.
"Fuck, it's raining so hard."
"It's raining heavily, run!"
…
The night market along the street suddenly became chaotic.
Shen Qiu stood there, frowning slightly, even though he lived in the next neighborhood.
But with such a heavy thunderstorm, I would definitely get soaked if I ran back.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiu decided to wait at the restaurant door for a while and try to run back when the rain was lighter.
At this time, Zhang Li came over, handed an umbrella to Shen Qiu and said.
"Sir, this umbrella is for you."
Shen Qiu was also a little surprised when he looked at the umbrella that Zhang Li handed over.
"No, give it to me. What do you want to use?"
"It's okay with me. I still have to clean up the restaurant, so I can't go back for a while. By the time I'm done, the rain might have stopped. And you're carrying things, sir, so it's not good to get wet."
Zhang Li said seriously.
Shen Qiu stared at Zhang Li for a few seconds, then took the umbrella from Zhang Li.
"Thanks."
"It's okay. I'll get busy now."
"Wait, I have something to say to you. Of course, it's up to you whether you listen to it or not."
"Eh? Sir, go ahead."
Zhang Li was slightly startled, but still spoke politely.
"Life is not easy. Everyone has experienced something when they were young. If you look further ahead, you may gain something unexpected."
Shen Qiu stared at Zhang Li and said with a smile.
After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Zhang Li froze in place with an extremely complicated expression on his face.
After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he did not stay any longer. He opened his umbrella and left.
…
Not long after, Shen Qiu returned home. He put the umbrella aside and went to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, the curtains were blown up and down, and a lot of rain was blown in.
Shen Qiu walked over and closed the window again. Raindrops as big as beans kept hitting the window.
At this time, Shen Qiu's cell phone started vibrating.
Shen Qiu picked up his phone and opened the text message. His expression changed slightly as he read the content of the message.
Not one message was received, but three.
Information 1: Hongmeng Meteorological Bureau issued a Level 1 thunderstorm extreme weather warning. Please do not go out before the rainstorm ends! People outside please find a shelter area or return home as soon as possible...
Information 2: Hongmeng Communications Bureau issued a temporary notice that due to extreme weather, international communications have been suspended and communications in some parts of Hongmeng have been affected.

Information 3: The administrator of the Third Administrative District, Qin Ang, issued the latest reminder. Due to abnormal weather conditions, everyone is requested to pay attention to safety and suspend work when necessary.
…
Shen Qiu looked at these three messages and keenly sensed something unusual.
