The man stared wide-eyed at the woman lying under the car.

At the critical moment, a deafening explosion rang out.

Shi Jinwei's cold gaze swept over the man who seemed about to shout, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Without hesitation, he drew his gun and fired directly at the man before he could shout.

The gunshots were drowned out by the loud explosions. The other players were focused on the battle outside and didn't notice that their comrades had been killed.

He too died with his eyes wide open, his expression exactly the same as the female NPC next to Shi Jinwei, which seemed somewhat ironic.

A man nearby shouted, "Let's find a chance to break out!"

The other players chimed in.

She remained silent, listening carefully to the sounds outside.

Upon hearing that the two sides had officially begun fighting, she slowly shifted her body towards the underside of the car behind her.

Gunfire was concentrated in front and to the left and right, while the area behind was deserted due to the distance.

The smog became the best camouflage at the moment. Shi Jinwei crawled under each car and made her way to the intersection behind.

The cars here have been abandoned, and the people inside have long since disappeared.

The intersection was cordoned off with police tape, but no one was guarding it. Gunshots rang out from inside, but no one dared to come and watch.

Shi Jinwei nimbly flipped over and emerged directly from under the police tape.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw a reporter rushing over with a cameraman.

Her nimble turn was immediately seen by the two of them.

The reporter was surprised by her actions, but when he saw that Shi Jinwei had no weapon, his eyes lit up and he wanted to rush over.

Shi Jinwei also understood the interviewing desire in the other person's eyes, paused, and went back into the isolation area.

To the astonishment of the two men, the door of the last vehicle was opened.

The car was still running, and the key was still in it. Shi Jinwei stepped on the gas, executed a nimble reverse drift, and turned directly out of the intersection behind her.

Seeing the cameraman carrying a camera and trying to film her, she was glad she was wearing a mask.

Otherwise, her photos would probably be all over the headlines soon.

She even had the title in mind—"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind: A car thief appears amidst the police-criminal battle!!!"

Since we'd already driven, we decided to head straight to the hotel.

Shi Jinwei turned on the car's navigation system and drove towards the Anhua Hotel according to the prompts.

This time, the journey went smoothly without any further incidents.

However, since the car was stolen, she wouldn't just drive it directly to the hotel entrance. Instead, she parked it nearby and walked to the hotel.

The hotel receptionist politely registered her information and handed her the room key.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief after taking the elevator to the 22nd floor and entering the room.

After a quick wash, she ordered takeout and then threw herself onto the bed to check online news and information about air pollution in Anhua City.

According to news reports, Anwar is a city rich in coal resources.

Based on its coal resources, the city will develop various industrial zones and become one of the top industrial cities in China.

As factories continue to be built, air pollution problems are becoming increasingly serious.

Prior to this, Anwar City had experienced several severe air pollution incidents.

In one of the worst smog events, dust particles were clearly visible. Large amounts of industrial gases produced a pungent odor, forcing people to wear oxygen masks when going out.

The number of patients with respiratory illnesses surged within days, and hospitals were overflowing.

The government was then forced to introduce relevant policies to finally control the worsening air pollution in Anwar Ibrahim.

Even so, there is still no good solution.

As residents' living standards gradually improve, vehicle emissions have also become a new source of pollution.

With winter approaching, coal heating is a common practice in Anwar City, leading to severe air pollution again in recent days.

The citizens of Anwar City have become accustomed to this pollution, so they don't take it seriously at all, and instead see it as a sign of the city's progress.

……

After reading these reports, Shi Jinwei's takeout arrived. After eating, she went downstairs to buy a few rolls of transparent tape before going to sleep.

The next morning, while she was still sound asleep, she heard hurried footsteps in the corridor.

I groggily opened my eyes and heard someone outside urgently shouting, "Quickly, give him an oxygen tank! He can't breathe!"

These words instantly snapped her out of her daze, and she quickly ran to the door to listen carefully to the sounds outside.

Words like "doctor," "emergency," "lungs," and "danger" pieced together the events: someone on the same floor suddenly stopped breathing in their sleep and called for emergency medical assistance.

Lying back down on the bed, Shi Jinwei took out her phone again to check the weather forecast.

Today's air pollution index is 280, and the air quality is Level IV, which is considered moderate to severe pollution.

Looking outside, the sky was even darker than yesterday, and visibility was less than a meter.

After thinking it over, Shi Jinwei decided not to go out and would stay in the hotel.

Anyway, she has plenty of supplies, so surviving until the last day shouldn't be a problem.

Her idea was good, and she really didn't go out.

But the game wouldn't let the players rest. Just after noon, Shi Jinwei finished lunch and lay on her bed, feeling drowsy, when she heard a loud bang outside.

Startled awake, Shi Jinwei quickly climbed to the window to check, only to be stunned by the sight outside.

Under the gloomy sky, a black mushroom cloud rose rapidly and bloomed, adding another touch of darkness to the overcast sky.

The mushroom cloud was enormous, covering almost half of Anhua City.

Below it, explosions rang out one after another, and flames burst forth like fireworks, creating a deafening roar that lasted for nearly twenty minutes before finally ceasing.

She quickly picked up her phone and went online to check, and sure enough, she saw the latest news notification—"Explosion at the largest factory in Anhua City."

An ominous premonition arose in my heart, and then I saw the mushroom cloud slowly dissipating, and the black mist began to spread outwards at an extremely slow speed.

That's not what's truly terrifying. What's truly terrifying is that, in the live stream footage on the phone, people who came into contact with the black mist immediately foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.

His body shrank rapidly as if dehydrated, turning into a dried-up corpse.

People around the black fog began to flee in terror, trying to get away from its reach. The fire brigade and police cars that had come to the rescue also stopped outside the fog, hesitant to proceed.

It wasn't until a truck carrying a load of protective suits and gas masks arrived that the rescue team changed into their gear and rushed into the black fog to carry out the rescue.

When Shi Jinwei saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat.
