Chapter 8 News About the Meteorite

Li Ming took his belongings and left home. He walked to the gate of the community and found his car in the parking space on the left. He opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. However, he hesitated again after starting the car.

He got used to it. He didn't want to interact too much with these friends who he knew but didn't know well. Maybe it was because of his introverted personality, but he didn't know how to refuse. Forget it, let's go and have a look.

After a period of hesitation, Li Ming started the car and drove away from the gate of the community. He drove straight north from the street at the gate of the community. After a few turns, he came to the door of a restaurant called [Mars Barbecue Restaurant].

The neon sign kept flashing, and there were still many parking spaces at the door. Li Ming parked the car and walked into the store. This barbecue restaurant has two floors. The lobby on the first floor is almost full. Li Ming went straight to the second floor.

As soon as he came upstairs, Li Ming's eyes naturally looked at a seat by the window. A woman in her twenties was sitting there alone, holding a wine glass in her hand, with long hair and a black leather jacket and leather pants, fashionable and natural.

It was Meng Lianyi. Usually, the company would choose this restaurant for gatherings or dinners between colleagues, and they were all in that location. Li Ming didn't like this noisy occasion. In the past, Li Ming would choose to find excuses to refuse most of the gatherings. When he really couldn't refuse, he could only bite the bullet and join in perfunctorily. It wasn't that Li Ming was aloof or unsociable, but he was used to being alone and used to quietness.

Coming to the opposite side of Meng Lianyi, Li Ming sat down quietly and glanced at the table. Various skewers and barbecues were placed full, and five or six empty wine bottles were placed in a corner.

"Come, I'll fill your glass first." Meng Lianyi stood up shakily, fumbled around the table with her arm, picked up a bottle of wine, and poured it directly into the glass on Li Ming's table. The wine flowed out of the bottle, and under the shaking arm, it poured onto the table and then back into the glass.

In Li Ming's eyes, it seemed as if the action was slowed down by more than ten times. Li Ming felt that he had waited for more than ten minutes, but it was only a few seconds, as if Li Ming and Meng Lianyi were not from the same world at all.

Li Ming did not stop the other party, watching the bottle of wine slowly fill the glass, and a lot of it spilled on the table.

Li Ming gently pushed the wine glass aside and said, "I'm not here to drink with you."

Meng Lianyi suddenly put the bottle heavily on the table, looked at Li Ming with a distracted look, and suddenly pointed at Li Ming and said loudly, "Then what are you doing here?!"

"Where is your phone? I'll help you contact your boyfriend to pick you up." Li Ming stood up and picked up a red-shelled phone after glancing at the other party's table.

Meng Lianyi reacted a little slower and didn't stop it. She stood up and sat down again with an unstable figure. She continued to point at Li Ming and said angrily, "I asked you to come... to drink, not to be a good guy. I have broken up with him. Don't make trouble for me."

Li Ming ignored the other party and pressed it lightly. The screen of the phone lit up. The background of the screen was an artistic photo of the other party, but a password was required to unlock it.

Li Ming glanced at the other party and wanted to ask for the unlock password, but before he opened his mouth, Meng Lianyi suddenly laughed and said, "You can't unlock it, my phone has a password, it's useless for you to take it, hehe..."

As he said this, Meng Lianyi took a deep sip from the wine glass, then picked up the bottle and continued to pour his own glass.

Unable to unlock the phone, Li Ming was ready to return the phone to the other party, but just as Li Ming was about to hand over the phone, his mind suddenly clicked, as if a door opened in his mind. At this time, this phone was no longer a phone in Li Ming's eyes, but just some electronic components and the data inside.

Li Ming took back his outstretched hand, and the other party's phone reappeared in front of him. The thumb of his right hand just lightly tapped on the screen, and the phone screen suddenly flashed, a burst of garbled characters flashed, and the phone automatically unlocked. At the same time, a picture appeared on the screen, which was a swimsuit photo of Meng Lianyi.

This is not the background picture of the phone, but just a photo in the other party's phone album, but how did it suddenly appear?

Green swimsuit, white skin, and the beach behind, the people are beautiful, and the scenery behind is also beautiful.

Li Ming's mind turned slightly, and the album on the phone screen automatically exited, and chat information, call records, and other information from a certain chat software began to appear on the screen.

At this time, Li Ming had already understood that whatever content he wanted in his mind, the content stored in this phone would be quickly displayed. His hand was like the data cable connecting the brain to the phone. Any command of the brain would automatically display the data on the phone. Just hold the phone, no manual operation is required.

Is this the ability of a third-level civilized life? Then why was the first photo on the phone a photo of the other party in a swimsuit? Sister? ! This unintentionally exposed his truest thoughts! How could I be so wretched? !

At the moment, the phone screen showed the conversation information between the other party and her boyfriend on a certain chat software. This information seemed to be a lot, but it was just data. After a flash, Li Ming had completely understood the reason.

Immediately after the phone screen flashed again, a new message popped up. This message also came from the chat software, a group chat named [Astronomy Enthusiasts Exchange Group]. An extremely important message in it was that on the night of October 13, two meteorites fell into T City, one in the mountains in the southern suburbs of T City, and the other in the factory area in the north of T City.

This information immediately attracted Li Ming's attention. The night of October 13 was the time when the Radiant meteor shower appeared. The mountains in the southern suburbs of T City were exactly where Li Ming was watching at the time. That was also where the nebula fragment Harris fell. Li Ming had already obtained this fragment, so the other one that fell in the factory area in the north of T City was also a nebula fragment?

If so, there is a high probability that there is nebula power. Only with nebula power can you continue to advance.

This information is very important. Li Ming only took a few seconds to complete the above operations. After doing these, Li Ming locked the phone again and put it back on Meng Lianyi's desk.

"Don't you want to know why I broke up with him?" Meng Lianyi raised her head slightly, half-opened her eyes, and looked at Li Ming blankly.

"On the night of October 13, your boyfriend promised to go watch the Radiant meteor shower with you, but he didn't go. You shouldn't break up for such a small matter. Your boyfriend is in such a big business, and you should understand him because he is busy at work." Li Ming said casually.

"Busy?! Those are all excuses?! I saw him and a bunch of friends having fun, is he busy? He just doesn't take me seriously!" When talking about this, Meng Lianyi picked up the glass and drank it again.

Li Ming smiled lightly and said, "It's just a social event at work... Besides, he used to pick you up and drop you off at work, and often gave you flowers. You..."

"Wait, wait, how do you know I broke up with him because of watching the meteor shower?" Meng Lianyi seemed to suddenly remember something.

"I..." Li Ming paused, his expression changed slightly, but he continued quickly: "I guessed."

Meng Lianyi stared at Li Ming for a while, nodded repeatedly, pointed at Li Ming, and said: "You really guessed it right. Let me tell you, Li Ming, you... are just a little ugly, but your figure is not bad. If you look a little prettier, I would be willing to be your girlfriend. At least we have a common hobby."

Such straightforward words, it seems that he is definitely drunk. Li Ming didn't care. In terms of appearance, Li Ming didn't have much confidence in the past, and he was very self-aware of this, but now Li Ming looks at these ordinary people like humans look at other animals on the earth, ignorant, ignorant and a little pitiful!

"There is something I am not afraid to tell you. The manager fired you this time not because you were late, but because she just couldn't stand you. You are average, unsociable, and a little wretched. She looked down on you from the bottom of her heart. This... This is not what I said. The manager has said it a long time ago, and other female colleagues in the company have said so too." Meng Lianyi drank it one mouthful at a time, while lowering her head.

"Also, I really treat you as a friend. I am different from those women. I think that although you have many shortcomings, you are not completely useless. As for astronomy, at least we are the only ones in the whole company who can talk to each other, and..." Meng Lianyi kept talking with her head down. Suddenly, she looked up and found that the seat opposite was empty. Li Ming's figure had completely disappeared.

"Where is he? Where did he go?!" Meng Lianyi was confused. In her hazy eyes, everything she saw was blurry. She waved her hand to take the mobile phone on the table, but before she could pick it up, her arm directly scratched the phone to the ground.

At this time, Li Ming had already walked out of the store and returned to his car. He took out his mobile phone and tapped the screen with his thumb. A series of information pictures and texts flashed quickly. Various software on the screen opened automatically and quickly presented a certain content, then closed instantly. Then other software opened and displayed various pictures and text information.

The whole process was that various pop-up windows switched back and forth on the screen, and more than a dozen pictures and texts flashed in one second.

But as long as the information about the meteorite falling in T City appeared, it would stay for one more second, and this information also came from multiple channels, including local news, online posts, online videos, etc. The information from various channels pointed to the key information of the meteorite in T City.

After more than ten seconds, the screen flashed and a picture also stopped on the screen of the mobile phone.
