Chapter 200
Zhou Guomin immediately woke up his wife: "Honey! Honey!"
His wife groggily woke up, "What is it? It's the middle of the night."
"Quick, look at this!" Zhou Guomin handed his phone to his wife.
His wife took one look and her eyes widened as she covered her mouth. She glanced back and forth between Zhou Guomin and the phone, finally speaking after a while: "Darling! Hurry and thank the blogger!"
Zhou Guomin took back the phone, "You're right." He immediately sent a long message to Prophecy Little Witch mentioning this incident. Not only that, he also directly transferred 20,000 yuan to Prophecy Little Witch.
Afterwards, the couple lay in bed talking.
"Thank goodness!" Zhou Guomin hugged his wife tightly.
"Yes, indeed."
"It's terrifying."
"I wonder how the people there are doing."
"Earlier, the blogger posted saying that if anyone was living in St. Rees, they should leave immediately. But it seems like nobody paid attention, because the place is so small, who would care? At the time, people were even asking where St. Rees was."
"Thankfully, your intuition was correct, honey. Our ancestors must be watching over us!"
...
At this moment, Chu Yang was sleeping soundly in Chi Yan's arms. In the middle of the night, Chi Yan's phone suddenly rang.
Chu Yang drowsily patted Chi Yan, "Phone!" then rolled over and went back to sleep.
Chi Yan reached for the phone, opening one eye to look at it. It was his brother?
"Hello?" Chi Yan answered, his voice full of sleepiness.
"Xiao Yan, the volcano on St. Rees Island really erupted," Chi Jin said on the other end.
Chi Yan was still a bit confused. St. Rees? Where was that? Then he remembered the island Yang Yang had mentioned to him earlier. Oh, St. Rees? St. Rees? Volcano eruption? Chi Yan immediately woke up fully.
"I'll check it right away."
After hanging up, Chi Yan saw the news push notification, then shook Chu Yang, "Yang Yang? Honey? The St. Rees volcano has erupted!"
Chu Yang sat up and took the phone. It was just a short sentence, no photos, but everyone knew what this volcanic eruption meant.
"My brother just called me. It seems some of our country's people were there. I don't know how they're doing," Chi Yan said as he searched for more information, but there weren't any follow-up reports online yet.
Chu Yang lay back down, "Let fate decide. It's all destiny. These aren't things we should worry about."
Chi Yan thought for a moment, then lay down and hugged her, "You're right. What was meant to happen has happened." They were just ordinary people, without the ability to save the world.
At this moment, St. Rees Island was engulfed in a massive disaster. It was still daytime there, with the earth shaking and mountains trembling. In the distance, a huge cloud of volcanic ash resembled a mushroom. The ground had split open, and screams could be heard everywhere!
Meanwhile in Hua Country, although it was still the middle of the night, many people were in meeting rooms.
"What did our embassy in Dai Country say?"
"We've called for nearby ships to go and pick up people immediately! Spare no expense to bring everyone back!"
"Good. Monitor the situation constantly and report any developments immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
...
"Xiao Jin, I heard you gave a warning earlier. Very good."
Chi Jin: "A young friend in my family told me they felt something wasn't right there, so I looked into it." His future sister-in-law could be considered a young friend of the family.
"Regardless, the department will make a note of your contribution. Keep up the good work!"
"Thank you, Director."
...
The next day, when Chu Yang woke up and checked her phone, she found a long message from her client, who had also transferred money to her, thanking her for saving their life.
Prophecy Little Witch: I'm glad you're safe.
By now, many people had seen the news online. Chu Yang's followers dug up her Weibo post.
"I really didn't pay any attention to this place at the time. Although the blogger mentioned it, I didn't care because I'd never heard of it. After all, none of my family members would be there."
"Are there any of our Hua Country people there? Probably not, right?"
"At the time, I wondered why the blogger was talking about such a remote place out of the blue."
"Prophecy Little Witch for the win!"
"We should take every word the blogger says seriously!"
"Blogger, something big has happened, have you seen it?!"
...
At this moment, Chu Yang was on the phone with Chu's Mom, "I'm coming back tomorrow. Mm-hmm, how's everything at home? Is Chu Luo on holiday yet?"
"Xiao Luo is coming back tomorrow too. How are you getting back? Is Xiao Yan driving you or are you taking the high-speed train?"
"Chi Yan is driving me back." If she didn't let him drive her, he'd surely throw a tantrum and bring up old grievances.
"Alright then. I wonder if it will snow tomorrow. The weather is so cold. Be careful on your way back, okay?"
"Mm-hmm, I bought some things for you all. I'll bring them back tomorrow."
"Why did you spend money again? We don't lack anything at home. Don't let Xiao Yan buy too many things to bring over, okay?"
"I know. It's fine, I've earned some money."
"Alright, just be safe. That's all for now."
"Okay."
By noon, the St. Rees Island volcanic eruption had risen to the top trending topic. Along with it, the Prophecy Little Witch account and her Weibo post were also dug up.
"It's this blogger again!"
"This blogger really has something special!"
"Maybe it was just a lucky guess?"
"The blogger is so low-key. Seems like they trended once before, but didn't promote themselves afterwards?"
"So did anyone listen to the blogger's advice? St. Rees seems to be in chaos now."
"The blogger seems so mysterious. Must be some big shot."
"The blogger calls herself a witch. I think she might be from some Taoist temple, or some mysterious expert. Maybe someone involved in the mystical arts. After all, there's no such thing as real witches in this world."
Everyone was discussing it, but the Prophecy Little Witch account remained silent.
It wasn't just ordinary people who had noticed this account; some official accounts were also paying attention behind the scenes.
"Yang Yang, you're trending again," Chi Yan reminded Chu Yang.
Chu Yang nodded to show she knew, but she didn't post on Weibo to capitalize on the trend, nor did she try to suppress it for fear of being discovered. It was best to let things take their natural course. It wasn't a good time to say anything, after all. Besides those who thought her prophecy was accurate, there were others who were skeptical, and some even said she was cold-hearted. If she really knew, why didn't she publicize it more and tell the people there to leave quickly!
Why did she only post that one Weibo without taking any other action? Some ridiculous people even called her a murderer!
There are all kinds of keyboard warriors online saying whatever they want. Some may be spreading false rumors to prevent her from becoming famous, mixing truth and lies. Chu Yang ignores it all - she doesn't need to worry about people she doesn't know.
If it were in her past life, she might not have posted anything at all. Perhaps falling in love has softened her heart a bit?
As for the officials, they announced early on that they had sent people to rescue the victims. Many people are praying!
