Ten Days End

"Cracks?" The driver yawned and said, "This is the Qingyin Expressway. We'll pass by it when we enter Qingdao. Let's see whose shoddy construction has been exposed again."

"Cracks appear "above"?" Qi Xia felt a little strange. Although he knew the earthquake would come at noon tomorrow, would there be any strange signs before that?

Before Qi Xia could figure it out, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the original speed of 120 miles dropped sharply.

Qi Xia, who was sitting in the back seat, didn't wear a seat belt at all. The emergency brake almost made him hit the front seat.

"What's wrong?" He looked up in confusion after stabilizing his body.

"Strange... There's a long queue on the highway. "

Qi Xia followed the driver's gaze and looked into the distance. As expected, the traffic ahead was very congested, and there were colorful vehicles on the road as far as the eye could see.

The driver looked at the time anxiously: "Oh... I guess there was a chain collision. I've encountered it before. It was at least an hour's jam... The entrance to Qingdao is in front... It's almost 7:30, what should I do..."

He kept looking around, as if thinking about how to change lanes to bypass the congested traffic.

"It's okay, master, this is Qingdao." Qi Xia said, "You drive slowly."

"Oh..." The driver looked at Qi Xia with a little shame in the rearview mirror, "You are very honest, young man, don't worry, I will definitely take you home before 8:30. "

Qi Xia nodded and said nothing more, and the master slowly put the car at the end of the line.

What the two had never expected was that the long line had not moved since they joined, and there were cars coming in behind them. Now they were stuck in the middle of the whole line, with no way forward or backward.

"It's really strange..." After waiting for more than an hour, the time was about to come to half past eight, and the master could only scratch his head helplessly, "Even if there was a chain collision, it should have been dealt with..."

Qi Xia was a little anxious, but at this moment there was no better way except to wait. There is a solution.

They are still 20 to 30 kilometers away from Qi Xia's residence. If Qi Xia continues to walk like before, he may not arrive until dawn.

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone again and called Yu Nian'an, but no one answered.

The busy tone on the other end of the phone made Qi Xia even more upset.

At this time, both of them were silent, and only the radio in the car was still rustling.

"Dear listeners, an unknown weather phenomenon has occurred on Qingyin Expressway. The actual situation needs to be analyzed by experts. Drivers who have the conditions please detour in advance."

"Weather phenomenon?" The master heard this new word on the radio for the first time and was a little confused.

"It's probably like "ball lightning" or "mirage". "Qi Xia explained, "Maybe it attracted a lot of people to watch, and it may also indirectly cause a traffic accident. "

"So that's it? Young man, you know a lot, a college student, right? "

Qi Xia ignored the driver and continued to lean back in his seat with his eyes closed.

In his last memory, he did not choose to return to Qingdao that night, so he knew nothing about what happened on the highway. He only knew that when he set out the next morning, the entire road had returned to normal.

In other words, the traffic jam in front of him would not last long, and Qi Xia's best choice at the moment was to wait.

But when people wait for a long time and aimlessly, they will feel irritated. After all, no one knows how long they will have to wait.

The sound of horns gradually came from the road, making people uneasy.

After a while, the drivers gradually turned off the engine, got off the car, and started chatting with each other.

The taxi driver was a person who could not sit still. He got off the car as soon as he saw someone walking. He no longer paid attention to Qi Xia, but instead picked up a cigarette and chatted with several drivers nearby.

Qi Xia sighed, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yu Nian'an.

"An, something might happen tomorrow. Pack up some daily necessities and I will take you out to avoid it in the morning. "

Qi Xia deliberately made the matter sound more serious. The most important thing at the moment was to let Yu Nian'an understand the importance of the matter the moment he saw the information. As for "earthquake" and "phenomenon", they could be left aside for the time being.

After doing all this, Qi Xia leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

I don't know why, even if I know there will be an earthquake tomorrow, I will feel at ease as long as I am with Yu Nian'an.

He has limited ability and cannot save too many people.

If he spreads the news that there will be an earthquake tomorrow, he will be arrested immediately for disturbing public order. Therefore, within a limited scope, Qi Xia can only choose to saveA minority.

He never thought of himself as a savior, and all he did was just to keep himself alive in this world.

Qi Xia closed his eyes and squinted for a while. He didn't know how long it had been, and was suddenly awakened by the sound of the driver opening the door.

"Young man, come and see this!" He didn't care whether Qi Xia was sleeping or not, and he shouted loudly.

"What?" Qi Xia opened his eyes blankly and saw the driver waving a mobile phone at him.

He took the phone and found that it was a photo, and the location of the photo should be the toll station at the entrance of the highway in front.

"This was taken by the driver in front, and it has spread on this road!" The driver said excitedly, "Young man, you are very knowledgeable, please help me see what kind of weather phenomenon this is?"

Qi Xia enlarged the picture and couldn't help frowning.

Speaking of "weather phenomenon", this thing is too unpopular.

There was a crack hanging in the sky, and many glowing things poured down from the crack, like stars falling. Many cars were blocked by this light curtain and could not move forward at all.

"The sky is cracked?" Qi Xia asked in confusion.

"Yes, it really looks like a crack in the sky. Is this weather phenomenon called "The Milky Way Falling from the Sky"? "

Qi Xia curled his lips helplessly: "Uncle, although I don't know what this phenomenon is, the phenomenon you are talking about definitely does not exist."

The driver smiled innocently and sat in the driver's seat: "But it is said that this crack is getting smaller and should disappear in a while. Once those glowing things are no longer blocking the road, we can also go."

Qi Xia nodded, took out his mobile phone, and was stunned for a moment.

"It's more than three o'clock in the morning? !"

"Yeah..." The driver also stretched, "Young man, you are a real person, and I am not a stingy person, so I turned off the meter a long time ago, otherwise the waiting time on the road will also cost a lot of money. "

Qi Xia's concern was not about this at all, but he found that Yu Nian'an had not replied to his letter so far.

A feeling of uneasiness spread in his heart.
