Lightning flickered on the edge of the cloud layer. Roaring thunder echoed in the sky.
The thunderstorm had arrived. The heavy rain poured for an entire afternoon.
The growth of plants has long since destroyed the city's drainage system.
Rainwater accumulated on the roads, flowing towards lower elevations.
Some areas were deeply flooded, but despite the prolonged rain, the plants didn't seem to have changed much.
Most people in the city were silently praying, hoping for no more strange occurrences.
However, it seemed the heavens didn't hear their pleas.
Late at night, a cracking sound came from all directions.
Crackling and popping, the sound wasn't loud, but it rose and fell continuously.
Wen Nannan, who was very alert that day, opened her eyes suddenly and rushed to the window.
These sounds were coming from the plants. The downpour had turned into a drizzle, and the city seemed to be shrouded in a mist.
