At the Central Earthquake Monitoring Bureau, all employees were glued to the seismograph reading screens.
Ever since the eleventh Apocalypse Rule was announced, this once small department had been flooded with new personnel.
Their mission was simple: work in 24-hour shifts to ensure that the moment an earthquake occurred, they could pinpoint its epicenter and report it up the chain of command.
At 6:20 PM, the five staff members on duty suddenly noticed an abnormal reading on the instruments, immediately followed by an automated alert.
"An earthquake is occurring!"
"It's a micro-quake. It must be a level 1 earthquake from the rules. Report the epicenter's location, now!"
The on-duty staff immediately reported the situation. Less than ten seconds later, the phone on Gao Liangwei's desk rang.
