When the pointer emitted that sound, everyone's bodies tightened, their scalps tingling as if electrified.
Other world citizens were unaware, but they participated from start to finish in this asteroid defense battle.
Clearly knowing how disastrous this event was.
Such a large planet could crack the Earth.
The disaster level would be even greater than the extinction of dinosaurs.
Even Li Xini, the IBI director who had fought bloodily with international criminals many times, broke into a cold sweat at this moment.
He closed his eyes, his arms trembling slightly.
Only the "tick-tock" sound of the pointer remained in his ears.
"..."
"..."
"..."
One second, two seconds... ten seconds passed, still silence.
Nothing happened.
Li Xini heard the sound of fireworks blooming and the cheers of people celebrating New Year outside.
As if it was no different from yesterday and the past thousand days.
Li Xini opened his eyes suddenly.
And immediately saw on the monitoring screen of Norton University, four large red characters appeared.
Blinking three times in succession.
[Crisis Resolved!]
[Crisis Resolved!]
[Crisis Resolved!]
At the same time, the monitoring screen showed the trajectory of the asteroid with a radius already over a hundred kilometers.
Perfectly grazing by the rotating Earth.
At the closest position between the two planets, the screen marked the shortest distance—
0.01m!
Li Xini was first stunned, and then he jumped up, his eyes wide open, almost unable to believe: "What? Dodged, dodged?!"
But clearly, just a second ago, this asteroid was heading straight toward Earth!
Even the researchers in the City of the World had no way to avoid this disaster.
What was happening?
Anthony jumped up: "Hahaha, false alarm, no need to die, no need to die, I'm going to fly a plane!"
He ran out joyfully, so excited that he even lost his shoes.
Li Xini wiped the sweat off his forehead and pinched himself.
Finally confirmed that indeed nothing had happened.
Because this guy Anthony was still a silly fool.
Meanwhile, at Norton University.
The vice-principal directly collapsed on the ground, his legs trembling.
The other professors and astrologer were not much better off, their faces turning pale and then red.
After a long, long silence, the vice-principal finally sighed up to the sky: "Damn!"
He wasn't dead!
It must be Ying Zijin who did something!
The vice-principal immediately got up and went to the broadcasting room to calm the students on campus.
Although the students of Norton University were all lunatics, only thinking about how to blow up the asteroid.
"Tinglan!" Adele hugged Wen Tinglan, "Everything's fine, we're fine!"
They hadn't slept for days.
Despite having blown up the surrounding asteroid clusters, the biggest one couldn't be dealt with by any scientific technology.
Now that the asteroid had brushed past them, it was truly beyond all understanding.
"Great." Adele kissed his right cheek, "Tinglan, you're amazing."
The kiss was unexpected, and the young man's ear lobes turned red from heat: "...Adele, you're being ridiculous."
"I'm going to find little cakes to eat." Adele released him, "Wait for me, I'll bring your favorite dessert."
After she said this, she happily ran out.
Wen Tinglan's cheeks were still red, his body tense for a long time, barely relaxing.
Coming to his senses, he immediately sent Ying Zijin a message.
[Sister, I'm fine, everyone is fine.]
Outside.
On the bustling street, many people came out to celebrate the new year.
Imperial Capital was very lively.
Until people heard a booming sound, like the roar of an airplane.
They all looked up simultaneously.
Looking up, they saw the huge asteroid flying fast, blocking the Moon and other stars.
"Mama mama!" A little girl jumped up excitedly, "Meteor! Look, a meteor!"
The woman being pulled was also amazed: "Yes, such a big meteor, feels like it's going to fall."
Her giant object phobia was surfacing.
But curiosity overcame fear, and people took out their phones to start taking pictures.
Such a large meteor, they'd never seen it before.
Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen stood atop a tall building, overlooking this bustling international metropolis.
She slightly raised her hand, catching a snowflake that fluttered down.
Little snow began falling, settling on the girl's shoulders and hair, dyeing her eyebrows and eyes white.
