November 22, at 5:32 in the morning, Tianhe Road, Lianjiang City.
Due to the approaching winter with its short days and long nights, the sky was still pitch dark, tarnished by light pollution that miserly withheld even a single star from the creatures below. However, today being the sixteenth, the moon was fairly round and bright.
The ten lanes of Tianqing Road were now severed by a massive rift; even the fully enclosed BRT bus station platform was half demolished. Traffic police had been urgently dispatched and had already completed the preliminary traffic diversion arrangements nearby, preparing for the rush of early morning traffic.
There was no doubt that Tianhe Road was a critical artery, and Tianhe District was Lianjiang's primary commercial district. Countless individuals from all over Lianjiang flocked to Tianhe District for work. Now that Tianhe Road had collapsed, it put a halt to the Line 3 subway underneath as well, inevitably causing significant traffic disruption.
