Chapter 193: Eruption
At the end of March, Huozhou. $
More than 700,000 people have been evacuated, and a large number of scientific and military personnel have entered. They mainly observe data and security work, and have little impact on anomalous changes.
The fact that a city is dying is quite surprising is quite surprising. The original people are all over the world and will never return. Instead, a group of foreigners witness and accompany the final journey.
At this time, at noon, in the volcanic scenic area, the already small square looks even darker. The large thermometer was shaped like a golden hoop rod, stuck in the gossip furnace alone, and rose straight into the sky.
Behind Auburn Hills, the trail is abandoned and there is no sign of tourists... Oh no, there's one more.
The village sits elegantly on a rock, surrounded by clouds of fire rising like red snakes on the top of a mountain. The fire aura here is the most powerful, and ordinary people can't stay for a minute, so for her, this is a good place to practice the Thunder Method.
There is a word called lightning and fire.
It usually refers to the horrors of nature, but also to the lust between men and women. These two elements are habitually linked, the heavenly thunder is dry, the earth fire is kun, hit it off, and then do things happily... Hey, what's wrong?
In short, Xiaozhai suddenly found that as long as Jin Lei's true qi moved, the fire aura around him was like a convulsion, desperately trying to get along with him.
She had to resist with all twelve points of strength, and Lei Jin quickly ran out. Then she meditated and adjusted her breathing, then she forced, hollowed out, pushed harder, hollowed out again, and so on, and her stamina was stronger.
As a result, she came here every day and sat all day.
Wood Gu and Thunder Gu practice very slowly, if Wen Gu has been an immortal in the world for five years, she has been at least eight years old. Just like the spirit of Lei Jin, it takes a year to repair before it can be close to leak-free.
"Shouting ......"
When the sun tilted, Xiaozhai took a long breath and finally got the reward.
Instead of going up the steps, she took a few big steps and flew down the mountain. As usual, she glanced at the thermometer, which showed a temperature of 27.3°C.
Yesterday the temperature was 23°C, and today it is rising very fast. Since spring, the anomaly in Huozhou has changed every day, far exceeding expectations.
Xiaozhai shook his head, got into a broken car, and walked towards the Grape Valley. I don't know who threw the broken car, but when they happened to find it, they rudely picked it up.
Desolate all the way, she drove back to the courtyard of the farmer's house, there was no one in the courtyard, and a familiar smell fluctuated from upstairs - it was her boyfriend refining magic weapons.
She went to the kitchen to cook and didn't bother.
Food is provided by the government. It is not tender and well nourished. After eating potatoes, celery, cucumbers and tomatoes, plus frangipani and a few vegetarian dishes, she shouted, "Old Gu, it's time to eat!"
"I see!"
The above replied, and soon, Gu Min nodded downstairs.
In fact, Xiaozhai's cooking skills are very good, only two people are together, and she rarely cooks. In the last few months, in the Grape Valley, she has done the most.
"I turned around when I came back and it wasn't very good. “
Xiaozhai took a sip of soup and said, "It seems that we can't wait for the long summer." It is estimated that it will be in these days. ”
"Well, I have about 15 fire cloud needles."
Wen Gu thought for a while and said, "Let's stay for a while and see what happened." Let's wait until the weather calms down. ”
"Of course! how can you miss something once-in-a-lifetime?"
......
In the middle of the night, everything was quiet.
Four small snakes about 15 centimeters long with triangular heads suddenly emerged from the cave with black lines on their skin. This is a lizard endemic to Huozhou, called the sand tiger, which is extremely drought tolerant and feeds on bugs and plant tubers.
It is a nocturnal animal and is a great time to hunt.
"Hiss!"
He crawled slowly, bobbing his head from side to side, and soon found an ant nest.
Ants are a good thing, the sand tiger is obviously a little excited, and quickly leaned down, first blocked the hole, and then dug the sand with two paws.
His stomach was pressed to the ground, and it looked like he was about to eat a full meal, but suddenly he ate.
The strange triangular head swished and swished, and he waited for a while before he looked not far away, and his dark yellow pupils actually had a little more fear that he shouldn't have.
"Hiss!"
The sand tiger suddenly turned in its direction and ran forward without any life, its four legs rapidly alternating forward. There seems to be something 100,000 times more terrifying than its natural predators chasing after it.
And the ant nest was chaotic, and countless ants poured out together, and they also fled frantically. Then, more and more critters joined, including gerbils, sand snakes, and various unknown insects.
They soon formed a torrent, and behind them, in the endless night, it seemed as if a crimson serpent was devouring heaven. Its massive body covered the entire night sky, seemingly destroying everything.
"Squeak!"
At the end of the day, a gerbil landed, with a burr overgrown and its face twisted so terribly that it was creepy. He desperately tried to escape, but he ran away and his body suddenly froze.
Like being devoured by a giant serpent, the little thing began to absorb essence at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its life withered. Almost in the blink of an eye, it turned into a hard mummy.
Boom.
The snake swallowed the blood and became more and more excited. What was originally invisible to ordinary people is now full of thick red mist, which is being killed with impunity.
......
"Didi!"
"Didi!"
Zhang Hao suddenly opened his eyes at the second observatory of the volcano.
He was woken up by the alarm clock. There is an automatic observation system in the station. Once the temperature rises significantly and exceeds the safe value, the device will shake violently.
"Hmmm......"
Zhang Hao woke up from his sleep, his head was still a little groggy, but after a few seconds, he even staggered to the front of the instrument. On the big display, strings of bright red data will only make his scalp explode!
"Report report, this is Station 2, Station 2!"
He picked up the phone and called, shouting, "The observed data exceeds the warning value... None but everyone!
Father.
Zhang Hao threw away the phone, casually put on his skirt, and stumbled out of the bedroom.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"What the hell is going on?"
Several colleagues also heard the alarm and gathered in the hall. The stationmaster's face was very serious, he just waved at them and didn't say a word.
The crowd walked out of the gate and stood in the open space outside, looking evenly to the north. Everyone's expressions froze instantly, casting into statues in the mixed light of red and black.
To the north, it's a volcano!
The sky turned red, heat was rolling, and red clouds were rising. Beneath the sky was a desolate and savage mountain, exuding mania and heat.
The mountain is no longer as calm as it used to be, like a waking devil roaring in the distance, spitting out flames and burning the world to ashes.
Even more terrifying, the terrifying red clouds caused by the tumbling heat wave and the sheer heat distorting the air are slowly moving in this direction.
"Station, stationmaster!"
Only after the pause did Zhang Hao swallow his saliva and try to listen to the other party's opinion.
The stationmaster is an experienced researcher who has led many investigative teams. After the initial panic, he calmed down and said, "We're still a long way from there. Don't worry, check it out first!"
"Oh, well!"
Zhang Hao shook and prepared the car, a total of four people, and went straight to the north with monitoring instruments. The car drove in the night, like a lamb to the slaughter, voluntarily entering the mouth of the devil.
About 20 kilometers away, after a short drive, there is one word, hot! dog days, the kind of heat that you can't drink a sip of water under the big sun!
Several people were sweating profusely, breathing a little hard, trying to walk a little further. One of the buddies suddenly shouted, "Look at the ground!"
One by one, the crowd turned their heads and saw a large pile of small black animal carcasses, filled with specimens. Exhausted of the essence of life, it quietly gathers around, forming an open cemetery.
"Oh!"
The elder brother suddenly covered his mouth. I don't know if it's nausea or if I'm physically uncomfortable and in danger of vomiting. Zhang Hao hurriedly put him down, unscrewed the water and poured a few sips, and applied a wet towel to the compress.
The stationmaster drove the car, saw that the other party was slightly better, and then he asked, "How many degrees?"
"38°C!" replied another.
"Not very high. Why is there such a big reaction?"
He frowned and encouraged, "Hold on, let's move forward." ”
As he spoke, he stepped on the gas pedal and jumped a few hundred meters. The elder brother's face became paler, his lips trembled slightly, and his consciousness gradually blurred. Zhang Hao was busy taking care of each other and constantly replenishing his own water.
Finally, about 10 kilometers from the volcano, all four people felt intense discomfort.
"Retreat!"
After barely recording data, the stationmaster decisively turned around and returned as if fleeing for his life.
As a result, I walked two-thirds of the way when I heard the car's engine start vibrating violently, all sorts of unusual noises, and then a bang. A puff of white smoke came out of the front lid of the car, and it stopped all around, but the engine was completely scrapped.
"Damn it!"
The stationmaster knocked down the plate and said, "I'll hold him, let's go back!"
The four of them immediately got out of the car and stumbled through the final stage. All their clothes were so wet that they couldn't even breathe hot.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
When the observation station appeared in view, the pressure on the whole body was reduced, as if fleeing from the devil's territory, and the heat subsided. The four of them could no longer hold it and fell to the ground one after another.
"Goo-toot!"
Zhang Hao poured another bottle of water and gasped, but he looked back again, which was even more shocking.
The wasteland, which was originally alive, turned into death overnight. Weeds, shrubs, and tall trees, right before my eyes, turned from living green to cool gray.
This shock, which violated the laws of nature, and the intense fear it bringed, caused Zhang Hao to collapse immediately.
He was in a trance, his eyes were blurred, and he only muttered and repeated, "What should I do?"
