Witch Special

About an hour later, Lin Zhenxi walked out of the city hall with a dazed look on his face. He stood on the main road in the city center of Z City, which was much more prosperous than when he first arrived. He stared blankly at the hustle and bustle of traffic in front of him. For a moment, he found it difficult to accept the strange development of the incident.

The mayor did not intend to hold her accountable for draining most of City Z's electricity without prior notification. He even asked her with great concern whether the natural disaster that might endanger City Z had been resolved.

It sounds like City Z has already determined that Lin Zhenxi's act of stealing electricity was to help City Z eliminate natural disasters, and this is undoubtedly an act of justice. Not only does it not need to be condemned, but it should be greatly rewarded.

Even when the mayor asked Lin Zhenxi to inform the city government in advance if she encountered such a situation again, he was very tactful. Before Lin Zhenxi even agreed, the middle-aged man with a slightly bulging belly laughed and changed the subject, not asking Lin Zhenxi to make any firm promises on the spot.

This tolerance is completely different from the previous nitpicking when trying to get Lin Zhenxi to return the tax reduction policy.

Compared with Baizhi's tax revenue, does Lin Zhenxi's interception of power from the substation, which caused a city-wide blackout, seem so insignificant... Or is it that this kind of situation where the entire city has to cut off power in order to combat natural disasters is "normal" in this world?

It shouldn't be the case, otherwise it would be too outrageous.

But no matter what, at least this matter has been over, and the result is so good that it completely exceeded Lin Zhenxi's original expectations. That's all.

So Lin Zhenxi quickly put this episode behind her and threw herself into the massive work of perfecting the signal amplification tower. She disappeared again and no one could contact her except through Yanyan.

Saitama's favorability has been raised high enough, so there is no need to go there often. Therefore, Yanyan has been playing the role of president for a while now, replacing Lin Zhenxi's position, and disguising himself as Lin Zhenxi under a layer of illusion to manage the increasingly powerful [Baizhi].

Because the purpose of establishing a company is to gain enough influence and then mobilize the power of the whole world to help himself find the time traveler, after confirming that Saitama is the person he is looking for, Lin Zhenxi became indifferent to the development of [Baizhi]. As a result, the business landscape of [Baizhi] has hardly changed in recent times, and it is not at all like the big strides forward in the past.

This led many to speculate that Baizhi had reached its limit and would only be able to rely on its past successes and slowly decline. However, after Yanyan took over as president of Baizhi, Baizhi was like a lion group that had been reborn, once again displaying its ferocious aggressiveness.

However, Baizhi's business is highly exclusive; to be more precise, there's no real competitor. Therefore, the business battle Yanyan faces is relatively simple: simply expand the number of Baizhi stores, and sales will naturally increase.

Anyway, Yanyan is having a lot of fun now and nothing serious has happened. Lin Zhenxi doesn't have the time or the desire to care, so he just lets her do whatever she wants.

In this way, time gradually advanced to the day when the world would end...

……

……

Ahem, that's just a saying, of course. The four words "end of the world" are a frequent phrase used by those shaman-mongering idiots. People are no longer new to it, and may even be tired of hearing it.

If someone stops you on the street and tells you that the end of the world is coming, and you should hurry up and do what you want to do, otherwise it will be too late. Many people may want to punch that boring person in the nose to repay him or her for wasting their time.

But what if the person who said this is a famous prophet who has never been wrong in his predictions?

What if that prophet screamed loudly on live TV, "God is going to punish mankind, the end of the world is coming, there is no hope!", and then died suddenly on the spot, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying in an extremely miserable state?

This was supposed to be a joke, but it suddenly felt real. The key point is that the prophet was a top internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans. A conservative estimate is that there were millions of viewers watching her live broadcast. Then she suddenly died on the spot, which instantly boosted the show's effect.

So, as if in an instant, the news about the end of the world spread to every corner of the world. Even the moles digging holes and the rabbits in the woods would seem unsociable if they did not talk about the end of the world when they met each other.

The world government is tormented by such a ridiculous emergency, because some restless people don’t care whether the end of the world will really come or not. They just want a social explosion point so that they can raise their arms and take to the streets to buy things for free in the name of protest.

The topic of the end of the world is very suitable - the world government must know the inside story, and the people should not be kept in the dark. We need the truth, the truth, and the truth!!

Such slogans were shouted so loudly that they almost shook the sky, but the World Government was also confused. There was no inside story to tell. The person involved died directly. Even if they wanted to know, they couldn't find anyone to ask.

Then the looting and smashing became a natural occurrence.

However, such discord didn't occur in City Z, for it was a city without a future. The capable and enterprising young people who could have left had already left, and those who remained were middle-aged people who no longer wanted to change their lives, and the elderly who couldn't leave their hometowns. This environment didn't even allow for the growth of vibrant social groups, as everyone peacefully waited for death together, without even a conflict of interest.

At most, they would gather together to express their own views on the end of the world, and then go back home to do whatever they had to do. After all, in this world, only death and paying taxes are eternal. Since they are not dead yet, they must work, get paid, and then continue to live a hard or dull life.

In fact, Yanyan was already prepared to send Baizhi's gold medal thugs to maintain the city's security, and by the way, demonstrate his social responsibility as the largest enterprise in City Z and his importance to the city. However, there was not even one person to cooperate, which really spoiled Mao's fun.

While this turmoil didn't disrupt the peace of City Z, it still had some real impact. Everyone felt as if a huge stone was weighing on their hearts. The words "end of the world" weighed heavily on their hearts, making it difficult for them to even breathe.

The most dangerous phase of any disaster is always when it's in its incubation period. Knowing it exists, but not knowing exactly where it will strike, this depressing feeling is the most torturous. But when the disaster actually strikes, you can actually breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, we have been preparing for so long, and there are only two possible outcomes in the end. Either we actively fight the disaster, and the many previous assumptions and extensive preparatory work have played their due role, and everyone finally overcomes the crisis after going through hardships; or we give up resistance in the face of an irresistible natural disaster, hug the people around us in the countdown of life, and face our own life and death calmly.

Rumors of the end of the world were rampant, and the world's rulers were certainly not indifferent. In fact, after the prophecy of doom was issued, the world government began to rumble at full speed like a giant machine. All relevant departments began working overtime, investigating all hidden dangers and reviewing all monitoring data, trying to find signs of a major disaster that could lead to world destruction and eliminate it in the bud.

Then tens of thousands of hidden dangers of all sizes were found, but at most they were at the level of being able to blow up a community. The degree of harm they caused might not be as great as that of a ghost-level monster. Such disasters could not be related to the "end of the world" in any way.

Could it be that the prophet's prediction was wrong? That was what the prophet who never made a mistake said with his life. It's better to believe it than not to believe it.

But on this planet, at least where the world government's tentacles can reach, people can find no signs of a possible disaster, and everything seems normal.

But this actually doesn't make any sense, because the area that humans can control now is less than one-tenth or two-tenths of the planet's surface area. Not to mention the dangerous oceans, even on land, humans have to shrink their range of activities and concentrate the population in those numbered large cities to prevent being invaded by monsters.

In this case, human self-examination seems to be only a symbolic act to reassure the masses. Its actual effect can only be said to be better than nothing and has no decisive effect at all.

After making all the human beings on the planet nervous, perhaps they got tired of playing, or perhaps the time had finally come for the gods of this world to sentence humanity to death. The clues of the disaster finally lifted its mysterious veil and revealed its hideous face.

The first to discover the anomaly was the space agency. A satellite observing outer space spotted a meteor that was traveling in an unusual path. After careful calculation, the agency's staff discovered, to their horror, that it was actually an enormous asteroid, which, astonishingly, coincided with the orbit of Earth.

In terms of probability, this should be an extremely low probability event that is completely impossible to happen, but under the intervention of an invisible big hand, it eventually became a reality and posed a fatal threat to all life on this planet.

If this asteroid hits the Earth, the energy released will destroy the entire ecosystem. Destroying human civilization is just a side effect.

The end of the world is coming!
