Crack—A sound like tearing thunder, a blinding flash of white light split the night in half. The deep black night instantly became bright as day, and everyone was startled awake by the successive peals of thunder.
Gales raged, the trees battered by the great disaster trembled continuously in the wind. One bolt of thunder after another struck, white lightning crisscrossed the night sky, as if the world was about to collapse.
Crack—A muffled thunder exploded above everyone's head, and a century-old tree in the distance suddenly started to smoke, snapping in half in an instant.
The tree fell to the ground with a "boom," emitting a cloud of black smoke.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, rain as big as beans fell from the sky. It quickly joined into a curtain of rain. Water smoke rose up from the earth.
An Yiqing was woken by the thunder, she comforted the young nurse with a few words, threw on a coat, and went to the doorway.
