The trees along the side of the road bent in the wind, their leaves rustling.
Plastic bags, posters, and leaves danced in the wild wind.
"The wind is so strong today," Chen Xing, who was sitting by the balcony, looked out at the street, enjoying the prelude to a rainy day.
The living room TV broadcast switched abruptly, showing a local news alert.
"Urgent appeal! We interrupt with breaking news: a severe biochemical leak has occurred in the suburbs of Jincheng New District. All roads leading to the suburban area are now completely blocked. Please stay at home and do not go out unnecessarily."

The phone vibrated.
Chen Xing checked his phone. Gong Yilan had sent him a message, "There's been a serious incident in the suburbs of the New District, stay home."
Suddenly, the phone vibrated again with a message from his mentor, who was thousands of miles away.
