At one minute and seven seconds, the meteor officially crossed the stratosphere and breached the troposphere, the final layer of the atmosphere.
By this point, the rumbling sound erupted into a deafening roar. RUMBLE. The sheer volume drowned out everything else, leaving the people below with nothing but that overwhelming noise echoing in their ears. The meteor's size intuitively multiplied, resembling a massive building plummeting straight out of the sky.
"Everyone, get ready! Get down!"
Only a few seconds remained before impact. With flames lighting up the sky and obscuring whatever lay hidden inside the meteor, Chen Shen could only roar a command, ordering everyone to press themselves flat against the ground for protection.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
