Chapter 164
The city after the earthquake resembled toppled building blocks, with schools, hospitals, shopping centers, supermarkets, and factories… everything that once belonged to an orderly world now reduced to ruins and debris, starkly displaying the chaos that had nearly destroyed millions just moments ago.
Despite the prophecy of the Heavenly Master of Divine Calculation and the full mobilization of state machinery, seven days was ultimately too short. Even though most fortunate ones had escaped before the disaster struck, there were still unfortunate souls who couldn’t evacuate in time, buried beneath the rubble.
On the ground paved with ruins, rescue workers hurried about, looking like ants wandering through a soil maze compared to the endless devastation.
