Chapter 920
Zhang Zian saw the cracks on the glass and could not respond for a moment . In his head, he thought, Why did this glass, that was originally okay, suddenly start to crack? Could it be that just now, unknowingly, his tiger body shook and his overbearing atmosphere leaked out?
Pa… Pa…
The cracks started to spread at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye––in front of the eyes of the two cats and the one human . Originally, it only existed in a corner, but it started to act like a small dragon . It spread and extended, and the piece of glass very quickly became full of the glittering and translucent cracks . The strange part, however, was that the glass did not break––at least not for now .
"Ah? What's going on? What's with the cats in your shop?" the customers below asked, their voices high .
"This… We are not sure, either…" Wang Qian and Lu Yiyun answered, dazed .
Zhang Zian took large steps, quickly rushing down the stairs . What he saw was that the shop's cats and dogs were in a constant state of anxiety, as if a great calamity was at hand . Some kittens were so scared that they were curled up in a corner shivering, and there were also kittens leaning against the automatic glass doors, as if they wanted to run outside the shop . Puppies in the display cabinets were desperately pawing at the glass, and there were many different barks rising one after another .
The customers, upon seeing the situation, were all shocked and stunned like wooden chickens .
It was unknown who said it, but someone said, "F*ck! There's not going to be an earthquake, right?"
Animals were more sensitive than humans, especially some animals that could hear the high-frequency sound waves from the faults in seismic zones deep in the earth's crust . The speed of sound waves traveling in the earth's crust was extremely fast, so the animals would often have out of the ordinary behaviors right before an earthquake occurred––chickens would fly all over the place, dogs would be barking, rats would be moving throughout the house, etc .
In history, there had been more than one such occurrence . When humans saw that the animals were all behaving weirdly, they were made aware that it could be that an earthquake was coming . It allowed them to quickly escape to a safe area, and it hence prevented a huge loss of lives .
China was a country where earthquakes happened quite often, and a lot of people present, whether female or male, old or young, had heard of similar rumors before . Upon hearing those words, everyone in the shop acted like they had instantly woken up from a dream . Their expressions changed greatly, and they no longer cared about buying pets or anything else . They threw down everything in their hands and ran out of the shop like they were crazy; they were very scared that if they were too slow, they would be buried under rubble when the house collapsed .
In a short while, the whole shop was practically empty .
Wang Qian and Lu Yiyun were not sure what to do with their hands and legs; they were standing dumbly in their original spots, not sure as to whether they should follow the customers and run outside .
The customers had all run onto the open air streets, but they still did not dare to relax . They all used their phones to call people, wanting to tell their family and friends to quickly evacuate their houses . There were still a few old customers that were gesturing wildly to Wang Qian, Lu Yiyun, and Zhang Zian, telling them to come out quickly .
Zhang Zian thought, F*ck, something big is going to happen!
He quickly ran out of the shop . "Don't panic everyone! Everyone calm down a bit! Don't panic! And don't spread rumors . If the rumors are transmitted 500 times, you might go to jail!" he shouted loudly .
Sadly, not many people listened to him, and the phone calls they needed to make, they still made .
"Store manager! Quickly get your staff to come out! It's already at this juncture . Don't value your money over lives!"
"What rumors? I only trust my own eyes!"
"Exactly! Isn't it said that when animals act strangely, they're signaling that an earthquake is going to happen? See for yourself how the animals in your shop are acting! I can't talk anymore . I need to continue calling people… Aish, my dad refuses to pick up; he's probably playing cards again . This is really worrying me!"
"No no! It's that the cats and the dogs in the shop have eaten something bad and gotten sick…" Zhang Zian was just doing his best to convince people when he saw Li Kun run out of the aquarium like he was flying .
