The rate at which the red haze spreads has more than doubled, but there is still no way out. People can only retreat and retreat.

Huozhou is 300 kilometers long from east to west and 240 kilometers wide from north to south. To the west is the Kumtag Desert, which has a straight-line distance of 400 kilometers and a huge buffer zone. It is bordered by Yangki and Ivo to the south, Bayin Lake to the north, and Thanh Ninh Province to the east, which is adjacent to a place called Huagou Town.

The main direction of their retreat was south, and they went first to Yiwu and then to Longxi. No way. Longxi is a corridor from northwest to central China. There's no way to lose.

The fog spreads in all directions, is very irregular, and does not appear circular.

It walks slowly at a speed of one kilometer per hour. The next day, it spread more than 20 kilometers. On the third day, it was only 50 kilometers. Aside from the results of the first day, this area already occupies more than half of the Fire Continent.

Where the fog passed, nothing grew, birds and animals disappeared. Even cars, buildings, streets, etc., can not see the original appearance, some have been eroded clean, leaving only a gray shell, and some have survived, and can only be piled up in it to die.

If before, this vision brings suffocating stress. Now, it's turned into a blunt knife to cut the meat, a little rubbing, a little painful.

Morale on the side of the government is low, as if it were routine, and it continues to observe and defend what cannot be defended.

On the fourth day, the sun was shining.

In a run-down town, the old man sat in the command center and ate breakfast with a majestic mood. The food is simple, rice porridge steamed buns, a piece of tofu, plus a plate of kimchi.

Their food and clothes are brought in from outside, and a large car travels between Hozhou and neighboring cities every day.

The town is on the verge of danger. There used to be several villages. Then it crosses a river and reaches Yiwu. It can be said that the town has become a symbol in a sense. If it fails, it will mean a complete failure of the government.

"Alas......"

The old man sighed and slowly recovered, only to find that the steamed bun in his hand had been cold for a long time. He was about to eat when he suddenly heard a crash.

The assistant pushed open the door and trotted in, his voice sharp and piercing: "Slow down!

"What?" he didn't react at the moment.

"Speed, speed has dropped ......"

The assistant panted and said: "From 8:00 to 8:30 this morning, the observation data shows that the fog is now 0.2 meters per second!"

"Applause!"

The old man stood up at once, and the table and chair he touched shook violently. He hesitated for a moment, then took a step, walked around the table twice, and finally patted the back of his chair:

"Okay! the sky will never stop me, the sky will never stop Xia Guo!"

"Let's go, let's go check it out!"

As a result, they hurried out of the house and went directly to the observation point. He looked at the binoculars, and sure enough, the red sky in the distance was no longer as fierce as before, it had become a little slower, and the color was much lighter.

"Shouting ......"

The old man put his mind at ease, and that's it!

At the same time, the news quickly spread, and the crowd naturally cheered:

"Saved! It was saved!"

"God has not forsaken us!"

"Our work has not been in vain... Ouch... Ouch ......"

One professor even knelt down and wept bitterly. He was so rude that he threw his glasses into the ground.

The volcano erupted for four days, then was swallowed up by floods, and finally reached the exhaustion stage. With this, everyone is confident that if they hold on for a few more days, they will definitely see the light of day.

......

"Poof!"

"Bang!"

A ball of flame flew high, accompanied by a slight explosion, and soon connected with the surrounding flames, burning unscrupulously and dying.

It was a large mine, it was dug into a valley and covered with shallow coal fields. Large piles of crushed ore and debris are stacked underneath before being transported away. There were also scattered buildings and vehicles - all engulfed in flames.

The danger of shallow coal fields is very high. Once the temperature is too high, spontaneous combustion can easily occur. There are many records in the history of the Western Regions. The most ferocious one took place in Bein, where it burned for decades.

At this point, it spontaneously combusted due to the high temperature and was eroded by the aura of fire, resulting in a very strange state.

Although the flames were soaring and the momentum was very strong, in a short period of time, they turned into grayish-white dead stones without any mineral composition.

The process is so short that it seems that it is not coal but paper that is burned.

"Poof!"

"Zila!"

Wen Gu and Xiaozhai stood on the high ground, their faces red from the flames. When they arrived, they were burning. After waiting for a long time, they finally burned out.

Watching the fire subside, only a small part of the area is still struggling. The two men didn't bother to wait any longer and jumped.

"Dad!"

As soon as the foot hits the ground, there is a crisp cracking sound, and at the same time there is a strong waste heat. This mine has completely changed its appearance. Except for a white, dense bone-like stone, everything was gone.

These stones look hard, but in fact they are all empty, stepped on and ground into powder.

"I can't think of any use for it, it's beautiful. ”

Wen Gu picked up a little powder, wiped it with his fingers, and shook his head.

"It's okay to look good! The white expanse is a valley, so it will become a scenic spot in the future. ”

Xiaozhai looked around and smiled, "Hey, how is Snow Valley?"

"Call you ......"

Wen Gu twitched the corners of his mouth, especially despised his girlfriend's naming standards.

The next day, after the flood water evaporated, they left the authorities and began to wander around again. Nowadays, the power of the fire aura has been greatly weakened, and the resulting pressure is becoming less and less.

Over the past few days, they have measured the land after the disaster by walking and named them one by one.

For example, Lake Aiding, at 154 meters above sea level, is the lowest point on land in Xiaguo, while the deepest depth of the lake itself is 161 meters. As a result, the lake turned into a huge pit with no end in sight, like an abyss.

Then Xiaozhai gave him the name "Giant Pit".

Another example is Yorkshire, which is known as the Wind Reservoir. The number of days with strong winds above level 6 can reach up to 100 days a year. March to May is the strongest time. Now, driven by hallucinations, I'm completely insane. The wind was hot and rolly. It's like a knife like fire. No one can get in. It can be referred to as a no-go zone.

Another example is Shashan Park, a park built using the contact zone of the oasis in the northern part of the Kumtag Desert. Now the oasis has naturally disappeared and extended into it a lot.

Amazingly, the aura of fire passed through the desert and did not turn gray as it did elsewhere, but into something like black sand. The texture is hard, the particles are large, and they rise and fall continuously, and when the wind blows, it also makes a squeaky crashing sound.

This black sand was much more useful, and each person took a large bag and prepared to go back to refining it.

In this way, the two of them dig along the way, and come across something of value, which they put in their arms every minute, just like collecting garbage. Wood Method, 1.0's Immortal Cultivation Era, Primary Stage!

In addition to collecting resources, this move had a very important purpose: mapping was their old job.

People don't know, don't they know? The island of fire will surely become a treasure for monks. The strong fire aura is a good raw material for smelting equipment, and it is also the fire mine of the whole mountain and the big monsters inside...

Don't be flattered!

......

In the blink of an eye, number 12.

The fog almost stopped spreading at a speed of less than 0.1 meters per second. It only fights against the remnants and is still scraping the ground.

The concentration on the periphery was already low, and soldiers of poor physical fitness could barely enter. Their safe distance is 30 kilometers, and if they go deeper, their lives will be in danger.

Along the edge of the fog, the army set up a protective belt. At the same time, it built a massive structure, which would be followed by a long-term guard.

This extraordinary catastrophe, financial losses will not be mentioned, this is astronomical. The most regrettable thing is that Huozhou was not saved in the end, but expanded to the next door.

Of course, this is also within the acceptable range.

Shazhou City, Longxi Province.

The old man sat in his office and drafted a report with a calm face. He hadn't written a report in person for many years. This is no small matter. He should be relieved to write it himself.

First of all, the area of Huo State must be redrawn, and the boundaries must be redrawn according to the area of the anomaly. It used to be 72,000 square kilometers, but now it is 73,000 square kilometers. It involves three cities and one province: Yiwu, Yangji, Ba Yin, and Chiang Ninh. Its territory will be reduced.

Second, the government's fiscal spending is like crazy. How to fill is also a key question.

In the end, the peach blossom miasma is hidden, the fire island is hidden, and then there will be hallucinations, one day. So he thought twice and very carefully added a suggestion:

We have to find a way to deal with our own citizens...

For a long time, the old man wrote. After confirming that it was correct, he sealed the report, sealed it with a seal strip, and kept it safe.

Just after the treatment, I heard a knock on the door outside.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and the assistant strode in and said, "Chief, there are a few things to report." ”

"Go ahead. ”

He rubbed his temples and leaned back in his chair.

"The Ludao people and the Wang Dao people have returned to Tianzhu Mountain."

"Hmm. ”

"Mr. Gu and Miss Jiang also left this morning and entrusted us to send our luggage to Baicheng. Even the stones of the Tien Shan Mountains have many strange things. The assistant's expression was particularly innocent.

"Oh, they helped us a lot. What else should we do?"

"Well, two people left you a message. ”

"What is this?" said Old Man Zheng.

"Let's go and lie on the top of the mountain. The aura of the flame has stabilized and will not explode easily in the future. Don't worry. "The assistant conveyed intact.

“......“

The old man blinked, feeling a little subtle.

Don't worry.

Well, it seems like no one has spoken to him like this for a long time since I was promoted to this position.

"There is ......"

The assistant's voice suddenly lowered and pressed into his ear. "Information from the security services has just captured several foreign intelligence officers in Urumqi. Their identities have been confirmed. ”
