Lu Pingping's first thought was that an earthquake had hit Shanghai, but when she looked outside, she saw that the lights were still blazing in the city, and a building next to Dream Tower was also brightly lit, with no power outage. Moreover, people on the streets were calm and composed, without the panic that accompanies an earthquake.
Confused, Lu Pingping wondered what that loud noise had been. Why was Dream Tower shaking so violently? And why had only Dream Tower lost power? Given that Dream Tower has its own backup power supply system, which would kick in during a citywide outage to keep the tower energized, the current situation was very strange. There was no city power outage, yet Dream Tower had lost power, and the backup system hadn't activated.
