2 The day it all fell down (part 2)

"...And yeah that's the plan. Are you sure you won't get lost?" a concerned Qin Lei asked.

"Yes. Walk straight, turn right. I'm not an idiot." snapped Qin An, and cut the call.

'First I lost my job, now stupid aliens come busting out and ruining the world. This day really seems to be going really welll..' Qin An grimaced as she made her way towards Qin Lei's shop warehouse.

After what seem like eternity, she finally arrived. "Don't ask any questions" she huffed, trying to catch her breath. Qin Lei glanced at his dramatic sister and poured her a cup of tea. He had expected his sister, with her poor direction sense, to turn left instead or right. Unable to find the warehouse, his poor little sister would panic and start running around like a lost puppy trying to find the warehouse. 'How is she going to survive...?' pondered Qin Lei.

[Present]

"Where are we, Lei?"

"Survivors' main base."

They soon entered a brightly lit place and Qin An spotted a familiar face.

"Bing!!"

"An! Who is this next to you?" Gu Bing, one of Qin An school mate, eagerly made his way towards them and studied Qin Lei.

"Bing, don't even think about it. This is my brother, Qin Lei. Lei, this is my friend, Gu Bing."

They shook hands and for the first time Qin Lei looked into Gu Bing's eyes. Neither broke the eye contact.A light flickered breaking the moment and both looked away.

'I never thought someone's eyes could be that dark...' Qin Lei mused.

'Qin Lei... I hope we will spend more time with each other' Gu Bing wished to his lucky stars.

Poor Qin An who witnessed the 'romantic' moment cursed silently ' How is it that my brother can meet someone in this disaster and beautiful talented me is stuck in this dry spell. I'm going to die as a single lady with 9 cats.'

The trio, under the lead of Gu Bing was brought to the leader of the base, Shao En. He briefly gave them an update of the situation.

Currently, all around the world, the aliens kept captive in secret government bases has been rescued. Worldwide, people are getting erased and no one knows if these people are dead or just captured by alien technology. But the odds are not in the latter favour. In this base, there is someone who worked at the government base and braved the odds to survive the attack. He is currently helping in the plans to counter-attack the aliens.

"So... What can we do to help?" Qin An asked.
