Liu Qianhuan patted the cab in front of him and asked the driver to stop on the side of the bridge, and after the car stopped, on the other side of the raging Bato River, among the lush woods, a gray-white building could be seen. The Bato River is about 20 meters wide, and a stone bridge on it looks like it has been around for some years, and on the other side of the bridge, the bus has stopped, and the girls of the crew are scattered dotted around, some with cameras, some with cameras, probably to collect information.

"The Stone Church, also known as the Church of Barto or St. John the Baptist, is the oldest church on the entire island of Catandunes, and many tourists come here every year to visit this ancient church. Liu Qianhuan pointed to the church about 200 meters away after crossing the bridge: "At the end of the movie, it was the pirate king who buried his sword in the church and went into hiding. ”

Although it is more than 200 meters away, you can still see this ancient church clearly across the river. The church is built at the foot of a hill north of the city of Bartow, and the terrain is a little lower than this, so you can clearly see the church from this vantage point. The shape of the church is very interesting, from a high point it looks like a cross, and the roof is covered with green vegetation, and the original color of the roof is no longer visible.

Li Huan looked at this strange-shaped church with relish and said: "This church is really interesting, I have never seen a church with such a shape." ”

This is not nonsense, Li Huan has traveled all over the world and seen many churches, but this is the first time he has seen such a church.

"Come on, Brother Huan, I'll take a picture of you, and leave a thought while you are still handsome and chic. Liu Qianhuan found a good position, and then took out his mobile phone to beckon Li Huan to take a photo: "Hehe, you are now handsome and dashing and take a picture as a souvenir, otherwise I am afraid that there will be more blood marks on your face after tonight." ”

"You fart. Li Huan laughed and scolded, but he still posed according to his words.

Liu Qianhuan raised his mobile phone with a smile and took several photos of Li Huan's posed pose. But patting it, Liu Qianhuan's face showed a shocked look, and the mobile phone in his hand couldn't help but put it down, looking at the sky behind Li Huan with a dull expression, as if he saw some frightening scenery......

At the same time that Liu Qianhuan saw it, Yu Ting, who was filming in the stone church over there, also saw it.

In fact, when she came to this island, Yu Ting fell in love with this stone church at a glance. In the story of Li Huan and Bellamy, it is a medieval epic. In this chapter, the rough architecture of various medieval Europe is the main tone. When they were in Europe, they filmed a lot of splendid and magnificent churches and castles, but pirates are not nobles, pirates must have the style of pirates, so the whole movie still lacks a most essential scene. After Yu Ting saw this stone church, she decided to put the end of all the chapters here.

However, at the beginning, they were all filming intensely, and the two places were not far away, so they never came to shoot. Now, in order to avoid the storm, it is not a waste of time to take a good picture of the surrounding scenery on the way back, and to study how to shoot the final shot while sheltering from the storm.

Yu Ting was holding a tiny small video camera to photograph her surroundings, and she felt that this place was too suitable for this story. I don't know how many years and how many storms have been devastated, and there seem to be traces of time on every stone. Although the surface of this church does not look so magnificent, and there is no stained glass, on the contrary, there is a pile of earth in the crevices of every stone, and grass grows from the dirt, but isn't this the original roughness?

And now the lead ash in the sky just satisfies that sense of tragedy, when will you wait if you don't shoot now?

Anyway, I want to go back, it will take a few days to escape the storm anyway, and I have already passed by anyway, so Yu Ting stopped the car and took a small camera to shoot by herself.

Yu Ting was holding a small camera while looking in the direction of Li Huan, now that her man had arrived, she was no longer alone. To be honest, when Yu Ting heard the news that Li Huan came to see her, she was apprehensive, in fact, he wanted to rush out as soon as possible, hugged Li Huan fiercely in his arms, and then kissed him fiercely, but for the sake of most people's face, Yu Ting did not do this, but got into the car and let Li Huan follow behind the truck. Li Huan is also very single, since Yu Ting said so, he followed behind the truck by himself, but now when he stopped to shoot the filming location of the stone church, the two inevitably looked at each other.

Li Huan looked at the stone church absentmindedly, Yu Ting held a small camera and also shot absentmindedly, I don't know what was going on, the eyes of the two suddenly collided together.

This look has been brewing for two years......

"Look!

Just when the two of us looked at each other and were speechless, we suddenly heard someone shouting something.

Yu Ting looked back curiously, and saw that the girls in her crew were all looking at the southeast sky in horror, with a ghostly expression on their faces. This sudden change couldn't help but make Yu Ting turn her head, and then, her expression became the same as everyone else.

Although the weather is good today, there are still a lot of clouds in the sky because of the rapid approach of the hurricane. This kind of cloud is a sign before the hurricane comes, because there are local security staff in the crew, so they will explain to Yu Ting how this cloud formation in the sky. As soon as this cloud formes, a hurricane is bound to occur.

But the originally heavy clouds were strangely split in two in the middle at this time, and a huge crack running through the north and south appeared in the clouds with the naked eye, completely splitting the thick clouds into two, and even revealing a clear blue sky in the middle. It was as if an invisible titan giant had split an axe in the sky with a giant axe in his hand, and then the clouds in the sky were split in half by the axe.

The main reason is that the sudden cloud crack in the middle is too weird, it is said that in the outer cloud system of the hurricane, it is impossible to have such a situation, but on the contrary, the clouds in the sky have such an extremely strange situation, which is very, very, very unreasonable......

It is really weird that such a huge gap in the clouds in the sky does not know how many kilometers, especially with the appearance of this crack and the continuous extension into the distance, the clouds in the sky in the southeast that do not know how many kilometers away, suddenly turned black strangely, as if someone had poured tens of thousands of tons of ink on those clouds. This situation is even more bizarre, because although the clouds in the sky are thick, the color is mostly white, and even if the clouds are a little dark in some places, there is no such color as if they have been rendered by ink.

Could it be that the hurricane formed in the vicinity of this island?

But even stormy cumulonimbus clouds can't be so dark! It's, well, as if this suddenly blackened cloud and that great crack in the cloud system was the work of some demon. But it's daylight again, and there are such strange clouds in broad daylight, which can't be explained by common sense.

Even Li Huan was stunned when he looked at the clouds in the sky, he searched in Xiao Fei's memory bank for the formation of clouds before the hurricane came, but no matter which cloud layer he compared, it would not look like this. The clouds of the hurricane have their own shape, and that cloud is called the hurricane cloud, so the staff in Yu Ting's crew will point out the state of the clouds in the sky to him and ask her to evacuate quickly.

But this is absolutely, absolutely, definitely not a hurricane?

But it's not a hurricane, but what is it?

Bang!

Just when Li Huan was stunned, suddenly, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and the thunder rolled in, which seemed to make people's hearts tighten. With the sound of muffled thunder, it seemed that the air around them was evacuated at once, and everyone felt a tightness in their chests, which was a sign of the rapid arrival of low air pressure...... Everyone in the crew was looking at the sky stupidly, and this strange and terrifying scene made them forget how to deal with it for a while.

At this time, suddenly a thunderous sound woke everyone up, it was Li Huan's voice.

"Get in the car!" Li Huan suddenly yelled: "Sister Ting, take everyone to get in the car quickly, and go to that town as fast as possible! Don't delay and leave immediately, everyone immediately, leave immediately!"

Li Huan exploded thunder

The general voice contained aura, which relieved everyone's chest tightness a little. However, Li Huan's voice didn't bring much use, because although everyone had heard Yu Ting talk about Li Huan, it was only heard. Everyone's understanding of Li Huan is limited to just now when everyone watched Li Huan move the equipment, they felt that Li Huan's strength was quite great...... Although he was already somewhat familiar, his sudden thunderous voice sounded and gave an order, which made everyone still at a loss - Yu Ting was the supreme commander in the crew, and only Yu Ting's words were orders.

Yu Ting was stunned, she didn't understand what Li Huan meant, but she saw Li Huan's expression, that expression was definitely not a joke!

Although Li Huan hasn't come to see Guo Ting for two years, Yu Ting's trust in Li Huan is 100% - especially in distinguishing natural phenomena in the wild, Li Huan is simply at the level of a grandmaster, but don't forget what Li Huan came from, he was a wild anchor from the beginning...... When Yu Ting saw Li Huan's face, she didn't hesitate, and she didn't ask why, she immediately shouted loudly: "Listen to him, everyone hurry up! Get in the car, let's go to the town!"

Others don't know Li Huan, but Yu Ting knows Li Huan very well. For these natural phenomena, Yu Ting believes in Li Huan's judgment very much. Don't forget that when Li Huan debuted, he was in the wild, and he judged all kinds of weather and conditions very accurately. So when you are in the wild, if Li Huan says something, it is best to listen to it, otherwise the consequences may be very serious. As for how serious the consequences were, Yu Ting didn't want to know, at least she didn't have time to ask now, because she knew that this matter was not so simple when she looked at Li Huan's expression and listened to his voice—so Yu Ting quickly ordered everyone to get in the car.

After listening to Yu Ting's loud orders, everyone reacted and got on the bus in a swarm. Yu Ting originally wanted to wait for Li Huan to come over, but seeing that their truck had already started, she gritted her teeth, closed the door, and directed the bus to start immediately, driving towards the sheltered town that had been scheduled as fast as possible. Although she was worried about Li Huan, she believed that Li Huan should not have any major incidents - if there was only one person here who could survive, it would definitely be him.

But what is the situation of this cloud layer, it is too terrifying, the weather forecast will not be so outrageous, and the hurricane will not suddenly form a downward pressure, if this is not a hurricane cloud, then what kind of cloud is it......

This cloud is strange, not to mention that Yu Ting doesn't know it, even people like Li Huan, who have seen too much and can't explain it with common sense, feel a little numb. It's not fear, it's an instinctive fear, as if a hand is gripping one's heart fiercely, it's a fear that isn't transferred by human will, it's an instinctive reaction of life.

It's like a frog meets a python and an antelope meets a cheetah...... This is the power of nature, no different from ordinary people and qi refiners. As early as the avalanche in the Snow Mountain, Li Huan had experienced that once nature was powerful, then there was no difference between ordinary Qi Refiners - if there was any difference, it was that Qi Refiners' bodies were better than ordinary people, and they could hold on longer when they were tortured by the power of nature, and of course, they couldn't escape death in the end.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Li Huan patted the roof of the cab and shouted in English.

The driver was also frightened, he probably hadn't seen this kind of scene before, so he stepped on the accelerator, where could the equipment on the car withstand such acceleration, and some of the equipment placed at the back of the frame suddenly turned to the ground - the camera car that Li Huan had just moved up was among them, so that the truck was thrown to the ground with this acceleration. This camera car was rented by Yu Ting at a high price, it is very precious, and it is also necessary equipment when shooting some big scenes, if it breaks, the next photography will encounter a lot of problems - but no one cares about this problem now, because the clouds in the sky make everyone feel that they are in trouble.

Liu Qianhuan hugged the railing of the truck frame, and he didn't know if it was the crazy and bumpy train that made him speak tremblingly, or the fear in his heart made him stumble when he spoke, Liu Qianhuan asked: "Brother Huan, what's going on? Why do I feel panicked in my heart? What the hell is this? We got into a hurricane?"

"I don't know either....... You ask me, who do I ask?" Li Huan smiled bitterly, his eyes continuing to stare closely at the huge crack and the blackened cloud. Generally speaking, when Li Huan encounters anything he doesn't know, he will first ask Xiao Fei to search for something that matches, but after searching for a long time, Li Huan found that Xiao Fei's database did not have matching content.

This is terrifying, could it be some unknown celestial phenomenon?

Saying that celestial phenomena are inherently shocking - for example, when Li Huan was in the Ural Mountains, when he used the thunder technique, the clouds stirred in the sky flashed thunder, which would make people feel desperate. And now it was not launched by Li Huan, it was naturally generated by nature, which is even more Tianwei, if it is ** when Li Huan stirs up the clouds, then what is about to happen now is a natural disaster!

The sky is inevitable and irresistible!

Several Filipino bodyguards on the island also had a kind of horror on their faces at this time, "Oh Maiga, oh Maiga! Is this Satan going to come out of hell?"

"How is that possible? Satan is in the depths of hell, and that's the sky. ”

"Or maybe an angel has fallen?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

These Filipinos are more likely to believe in gods and ghosts, and it is no wonder that the clouds in the sky suddenly appeared such a strange scene today.

Li Huan asked Xiaofei to search for a long time and didn't find it, so he simply coughed and said: "I think, this may be because of the hurricane, after all, the hurricane is now in the sea area very close to us, this is the outer cloud system of the hurricane, no one knows what kind of changes will occur." ”

However, it was obvious that Li Huan's explanation did not have any effect, and the faces of the group of people still had a look of horror.

"Brother Huan, what kind of cloud is this, the people who see it are afraid. Liu Qianhuan also asked: "Have you ever seen such a cloud? Is it the end of the world? Hasn't 2012 passed, is it because of the math of the Mayans?" “

"Don't talk about 2012, this is just a meteorological feature, if it's really 2012, then can we still drive around?" This is a very common natural phenomenon, especially the clouds in the sky before the hurricane comes, there is one side is a normal thing, although this cloud is not like a hurricane, but you also have to take this into account, nature's creation is very magical, it can't be the same every time, so there is a hurricane, when the clouds are formed are different from other times, it is very normal......"

Speaking of this, Li Huan suddenly stopped, looking at the sky in a daze.

"Brother Huan, what's wrong with you, don't scare me......" Liu Qianhuan looked at Li Huan and didn't speak, and suddenly shuddered.

"Don't make a fuss, this seems to be ......" But before Li Huan finished speaking, he was stunned, and then slapped the cab frantically, throwing all the equipment under the car while slapping, and shouted in English: "Hurry up! Hurry up! This is an earthquake cloud!"

"What's it!?" Liu Qianhuan was shocked!

"Earthquake cloud!" Li Huan said, his virtual screen showed the results of the analysis, when Li Huan saw this cloud that he didn't know what it meant, he asked Xiao Fei to read the comparison image, but the characteristics of this cloud are very peculiar, Xiao Fei will not find a suitable one for a while, just a few seconds ago, Xiao Fei gave the result, this is a seismic cloud.

With seismic clouds, it means ...... There's an earthquake coming up here!

Li Huan's words focused everyone's attention on him

"Earthquake clouds?" everyone's hearts trembled, and the uneasiness in their hearts just now suddenly became more intense.

"Brother Huan, is the earthquake cloud real? But as far as I know, this earthquake cloud has been judged by scientists to be implausible and unsubstantiated, how can you still believe this?" Liu Qianhuan asked, although he said this, the expression on his face had betrayed him, because Liu Qianhuan had been following Li Huan for too long, he knew Li Huan, and Li Huan would not be untargeted.

"Those scientists are talking nonsense! Because they can't explain the appearance of seismic clouds, that's why they say that seismic clouds are unfounded. However, while there is still no explanation for the strange cloud conditions, most earthquakes precede a difficult cloud in the sky

Change in confidence. ”

Seismic clouds are a form of clouds, and it is difficult to summarize the characteristics of "seismic clouds" because they lack the most basic definition, and as long as clouds that "look strange" are classified as seismic clouds.

Altocumulus or Stratocumulus clouds are the majority of all kinds of "seismic clouds", because these two clouds are prone to form "weird" appearances such as reticulated (fish scales), wavy (ribs), flocculent, translucent, radial, and pod-like; Altocumulus and Stratocumulus clouds, including other clouds suspected of being "seismic clouds", have their corresponding genera and species in the classification of clouds in the scientific classification of clouds.

The reason why Liu Qianhuan said this is because the theory of seismic clouds has never been accepted by the mainstream scientific community, and professionals in geology or meteorology have either euphemistically or directly refuted it, and it is neither a meteorological academic term nor a geological academic term. Meteorologists believe that it is not uncommon for clouds of all shapes to be associated with upper-air activity, and weather stations around the world have never detected a systematic increase in surface temperature before an earthquake. Most of the "seismic clouds" that circulate in the market are Altocumulus clouds or Cirrostratus clouds in the middle and upper layers.

Geologists say that it is not easy to change the geomagnetic field, and there is no theoretical support for the influence of electromagnetic fields on the distribution of clouds. In other words, if earthquakes can be predicted by observing clouds, why can't people directly monitor the abnormal activity of the geomagnetic field? Most of the "successful cases" of so-called "seismic clouds" prediction are the occurrence of "seismic clouds" in one city, and a few days later, an earthquake occurs in another city thousands of kilometers away. The "seismic cloud" hypothesis prevails in China, Japan, and other countries, and is more of an "afterthought" given the frequency of earthquakes in East Asia.

After studying the photographs of "earthquake clouds", the Japan Earthquake Prediction Liaison Committee agreed that there is no scientific basis for linking the clouds to earthquake precursors based solely on their silky shape. Some people say that "seismic clouds" are obviously cirrus clouds. The president of the association, Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo, said that "if you do a statistical work, you can understand that the relationship between clouds and earthquakes is purely accidental, and there have been many people like this in the past who predicted earthquakes by linking phenomena that have nothing to do with earthquakes." The famous Japanese seismologist Li Wu Tsuneji also took a negative attitude.

In China, Zheng Guoguang, a former director of the Meteorological Bureau and now director of the Earthquake Bureau, was interviewed by television. In an exclusive interview, it was pointed out that there is no scientific identification of seismic clouds. Earthquakes are solid-state geographic phenomena, and there is no sufficient evidence to prove that earthquakes and weather are intrinsically related, and there is no evidence that satellite images can predict the occurrence of earthquakes.

With the development of professional scientific cognition, the "seismic cloud theory" has become extinct in serious journals and publications. But it still has a broad and deep soil among the people. To this day, many people still believe that earthquakes can be predicted by looking at clouds – for example, the creator of seismic clouds, a mayor of Japan, used seismic clouds to successfully predict two earthquakes.

Tadazaburo Keda was the mayor of Nara, Japan, but he did not have any background in geology or meteorology. From the 40s of the 20th century, Tadazaburo Kagida began to promote the "earthquake cloud theory". He said, "On June 26, Showa 23, an abnormal cloud appeared over Nara City, which was colored and shaped like a long black snake, across the east-west direction. I was predicting an imminent earthquake, and it caused a stir. Two days later, a major earthquake struck Fukui, 160 kilometers from Nara. ”

Tadazaburo Kadama used the method of observing seismic clouds to predict earthquakes for more than 30 years, claiming to have predicted three earthquakes of magnitude 7 or higher in Japan in 1948 and two earthquakes in 1979.

It's true that seismic clouds are not really accepted by the scientific community, but again, there is no conclusive evidence from the scientific community that earthquake fish is a meridian thing.

There is also a scientific basis for this.

When an earthquake is about to occur, a large amount of heat is generated due to the accumulation of geothermal heat in the earthquake zone, or due to the intense friction of the rocks in the earthquake zone due to strong gravitational action, which overflows from the surface of the earth, warming the air and producing an updraft, which forms a "seismic cloud" at high altitude, and the head of the cloud points to the place where the earthquake occurred. In addition, before the earthquake, the rock is subjected to the "piezomagnetic effect" under the action of in-situ stress, which causes local changes in the geomagnetic field, which causes the rock to be compressed or stretched, causing the resistivity to change, and the electromagnetic field has a corresponding local change. Due to the influence of electromagnetic waves on the upper ionosphere, the concentration of ionospheric plasma decreases sharply, resulting in the non-free orderly arrangement of water vapor and dust to form seismic clouds.

In addition, early nuclear physicists used cloud chambers to detect nuclear radiation, using pure vapor adiabatic expansion, and the temperature dropped to a supersaturated state, at which time charged particles were injected in, producing ions in the path they passed, and the supersaturated gas condensed into small droplets with ions as the core, thus showing the path of the particles, which could be photographed. The earth's atmosphere, in fact, can be regarded as a simple cloud chamber, when the earth's internal radiation is generated, a large number of highly penetrating ions pass through the earth's crust into the atmosphere, under the right conditions, water droplets condense along the radiation trajectory into clouds, which is called "seismic clouds". This hypothesis is called the "nuclear explosion hypothesis of earthquakes".

In addition, the amount of radon gas normally existing in the formation composed of a variety of charged radioisotopes will be squeezed by plate movements, and the amount normally released into the atmosphere will change by leaps and bounds when the plate stress accumulates and the in-situ stress changes abruptly, and this change will produce a macroscopic cloud chamber effect with free water molecules in the atmosphere, which is the seismic cloud we see, and the seismic cloud is actually the release trajectory of radon. Radon is an indicator element for routine seismic detection. Radon gas composed of a variety of charged radioisotopes has a cloud chamber effect and the sudden change of radon gas before the earthquake are both measured and proven, and the seismic cloud is a concentrated release of radon gas caused by plate movement, forming macroscopic clouds in the atmosphere and free water molecules.

And Liu Qianhuan also guessed correctly, Li Huan will not be untargeted.

If it was just an earthquake cloud, Li Huan would definitely not be so flustered. After all, whether the seismic cloud can be explained scientifically is two theories, but just now on the virtual screen, after the judgment of the seismic cloud appeared, Xiaofei's submachine also detected high-frequency electromagnetic activity...... If seismic clouds cannot be regarded as empirical evidence, then the high-frequency electromagnetic activity of the earth can almost be realized......

......

At this moment, an extremely strange whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky, as if a swarm of jet fighters suddenly appeared in the sky, and it was as if the clouds in the sky suddenly turned into bees. Anyway, that kind of sound is extremely strange, sharp with a heart-palpitating lowness, and the low reveals a maddening sharpness. This sound appeared for an extremely short time, almost instantly across the sky, no one knew how this sound was generated, and it was impossible to confirm the source of this sound, especially when combined with the strange cloud situation in the sky at this time, it really made everyone's hearts tighten.

And when the sound disappeared, not a few dozen seconds, everyone felt a violent shaking from the soles of their feet, and the trees on the mountains on both sides also shook violently.

This sudden shaking took a short time, and although everyone knew in their minds that it might be an earthquake, their bodies did not react. After all, although the shaking was sudden, it was not violent, and it was nothing compared to the clouds just now and the extremely weird scream.

On the moving truck, of course, the crowd felt the tremor. But because this vibration came so fast, it came and went so fast, and the feeling of the world spinning was fleeting in an instant, so that Liu Qianhuan stopped before he could shout: "The earthquake...... Brother Huan, did the earthquake tremble? I seem to have felt the earthquake just now, but I don't seem to feel it, if this earthquake is too short, doesn't it?

Li Huan himself had just felt the power of the earthquake. At that moment, it seemed to be spinning. The trees on the canyons on both sides of the river are constantly swaying wildly, which is definitely not an illusion, because if you look closely, the tall trees that grow on the peaks on both sides of the river canyon are still swaying on the trees, which is the evidence left by the earthquake just now. But as Liu Qianhuan said, the earthquake came too quickly, too suddenly, and disappeared too shortly. Compared to the vision of the clouds in the sky, it is as if someone told you that I was going to detonate a 100,000-ton explosive, but after a long time of preparation, you heard a sound that was not much louder than a fart - compared to the vision of the clouds in the sky and the string of muffled thunder in the sky, it is true.

But is it that simple about earthquakes? Absolutely not.
