Sunday 21st May, 2153.
It was already half seven by the time Qing Lianmu left the dessert shop. Delli had eaten three whole strawberry parfaits and scoffed down a chiffon cake slice with macaroons as toppings.
The slushie Qing Lianmu had bought had been fully devoured by the little white fox as well, releasing a satisfied burp along the journey to the clubhouse.
"After eating this much, I guess you won't be touching any of the food in the clubhouse then?" Qing Lianmu jokingly said.
"Will the food even be good there? If it is I'll eat!"
Thinking back seriously, Qing Lianmu remembered going to that clubhouse. "I think it will taste good. They have chicken wings and pizzas..."
"But what they mainly sell is alcohol."
"Ehhh??? Boring."
Delli looked away disinterested. Qing Lianmu opened up Weibo and smiled knowingly. He brought his phone over to Delli and said, "Delli, come take a look at the news."
"?" Delli listened and watched the video.
News of the people who had bitten others and the people who had been bitten appeared.
Those who had been bitten had gotten a fever and sent to the hospital. The rates of patients had exceeded the limit hospitals could take and nothing they did worked on the patients causing some outrage.
The government had been keeping news of this silent for a while but it finally exploded when news of a patient had woken up and the first thing they did, was bite a nurse who had come to take a check upon them.
The blood had spurted all over the room and many patients had awoken from the smell of blood and began attacking the people around them, whether it be their relatives, they all attacked indiscriminately.
Due to this, the citizens began to protest against the government. It ended up becoming a massive movement and it was so chaotic that the government had to send out an army to subdue it.
As the video continued, Delli looked at Qing Lianmu with her round eyes in shock. Qing Lianmu also looked back at her with a light smile on his face then paused the video.
"What is going on?! Lianmu... I - I feel like that's not normal."
While waiting for a taxi to come by, Qing Lianmu patiently explained. "When it hit midnight on 16th May, the peace on earth ceased to exist."
"Eh? Who come I can't understand what you're talking about?"
" Look, our ride is here."
Qing Lianmu got inside the taxi and gave the driver the location. By the time he had arrived at the front of the clubhouse, it was already past eight.
The dessert shop was all the way on the other side of the city that had the highest quality of sweets. There was no way Qing Lianmu would wrong himself for choosing another place when after today, there wouldn't be another chance to go anymore.
With his status, the clubhouse let him in immediately. The party was reserved on the highest floor where there was an open space with a large pool under the sky with many refreshments around with music playing in the background.
People were wearing revealing clothing, dresses, swimsuits and luxury goods like expensive jewellery and thick sunglasses.
The elevator finally stopped and Qing Lianmu made his way over. He was wearing exactly the same clothes as earlier, in his comfy blue sweater vest and librarian-like outfit.
