Chapter 43 (I) The Coming Doom

Just when the four people covered in injuries ran to the edge of the square, in the basketball court, the wild dogs that had been hiding around swarmed, opening their mouths to tear Wanlian Mountain's internal organs, after his head was bitten off, but he was not liked by the wild dogs, after several fights, his head was cut open by the dog's claws, rolled into the ruins next to it, and was trampled by a member of the medicine gold who left.

On the square, the rescue team, under the cover of the helicopter, was shooting at the tide of corpses while anxiously watching the direction in which Tang Shuxing had left.

"It's back! They're back! The commander of the rescue team waved at Tang Shuxing and the others, and when they came quickly, he immediately ordered the V22 Osprey to prepare for takeoff, and at the same time heard the news from the other escort gunships that the ammunition was about to run out.

As soon as the four got into the Osprey plane, the commander gave the order to take off, shouting: "Avoid the building!" Climb! Climb to the high ground! Fast! ”

The Osprey and helicopter gunships immediately climbed vertically, and on the premise that the ammunition was exhausted, the gunships had to fly in three groups in an emergency formation at the upper end of the two osprey planes, using their propellers to block the group of walking corpses that had swooped down from the surrounding buildings, and stirred up the walking corpses one by one into slag.

After reaching a point about ten meters above the top of the nearby building, the helicopter of the rescue team immediately resumed as a close escort formation and flew rapidly towards the Asaya coastline.

Inside the plane, the people who were still frightened through the window looked at the walking corpses on the roof who were still frantically chasing the helicopter, and even jumped out of the roof directly, at the gate of the roof. There are also countless walking corpses pouring up, frantically waving their limbs as if they want to fly out of the canon and catch up directly with the flying formation.

As they flew over the city of Alanya, everyone looked at the devastated capital of Astaya, and it was impossible to imagine that not long ago it was one of the most prosperous cities in the country, but then the government forces and rebels turned it into a ruined city, and then the coalition attack turned it into a ruined dead city. There may be no living people left in the city today, and all that remains are the walking corpses that have lost control.

Black smoke was billowing from all sides of the city, many houses were slowly crumbling due to severe ground damage, and the walking corpses in the city were flying by. Roaring and chasing below. It's like those Astaya children chasing planes a long time ago.

After flying away from Alanya City, you will enter the eyes of everyone to see a large expanse of the wasteland that continues to burn, and wildfires are raging on the wasteland. The pitch-black bodies of humans and animals in various forms can be clearly seen in the burned area.

Most of the country's skies have been obscured by thick black smoke. Helicopters can only be under black smoke. Flying above the ground, looking in the other direction, you can faintly see the magma that is still erupting. The volcano that pushes the ash ruins will suddenly illuminate the surroundings in the black clouds above the volcano, and then disappear without a trace in an instant, leaving only the pieces of volcanic rock that have been shattered by the lightning.

Tang Shuxing returned to his seat, holding the dragon blade with a feeling of being in a different world, not long ago there was still a false peace here, even if it was only on the surface, it was ten thousand times stronger than the purgatory scene he saw now.

At the front of the cabin, Hawke was talking to the commander, Tang Shuxing looked sideways, and then looked at the others, everyone was tired and silent, no one wanted to speak, and even most people's minds were just blank.

"There's good news, and bad news." Hawke came back after talking to the commander and sat next to Tang Shuxing, "Let me tell you the good news first, the good news is that the United Nations will take measures to observe and deal with Asyata, because Astara is now in a state of complete anarchy, and Asaya joined the British Commonwealth and then seceded after independence that year. Satellite observations have shown that very few people in the country will survive, and all of them will die in a matter of days, so the United Nations can only activate emergency preparedness. ”

"Impossible, you also know it, soon the war they started by Sharman Power Company will spread to the entire African continent, and the United Nations can't stop it, you can also see it, just in an instant, the people in the entire Alanya City have become that kind of monster, and that kind of corpse drug is more terrifying than biological weapons." Tang Shuxing shook his head and asked, "What about the bad news?" ”

Actually, the good news that Hawke said is also bad news, right? It's basically two pieces of bad news that come one after the other.

Hawke took out his tablet, opened an electronic map inside, pointed to it, and said: "The United Nations has just issued an emergency disaster warning to the Indian Ocean Rim countries, and the report first said that volcanoes in most parts of the world have erupted, but the total amount of eruptions is not enough to reach the level of destruction, but on an island dozens of nautical miles away from Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean, a large number of heat sources have been detected at the bottom of a mountain range that has not been taken seriously. ”

"What do you mean? Factitious? Tang Shuxing frowned and looked at Hawke, and the others were also attracted by Hawke's words.

"It seems that it is not man-made, because after the investigation of the United Nations crisis management team, a deep stratigraphic scan was carried out, and it was found that ten kilometers below the formation of the small island, there is a huge magma deposit, the exact total amount cannot be estimated, and it can only be calculated according to the approximate range of heat sources that can be detected, about 5,000 cubic kilometers, and this mass of deposits is still on the rise, like a huge magma bomb, which is about to be launched." Hawke pulled open the electronic map, then zoomed in, and changed it into a schematic map, "This small island was originally unknown to anyone to have a volcano, but after this discovery, urgent investigation and field exploration found that it was a dormant volcano, and the last eruption was about millions of years ago. ”

"Millions of years ago?" Tian Yehan asked, "Did humans appear at that time?" ”

"At that time, there was a human named 'Capable Man', but I don't know the local environment where the volcano was located at that time, because it is impossible to restore the scene at that time by means now." "The UN team estimates that if this volcano erupts, the worst-case scenario is that it will erupt at least hundreds of millions of tons of magma within an hour, and drive the volcanic ash into the clouds, and then the area within a radius of 100 kilometers will be swallowed up and submerged by the ash and other materials it carries with it, and in a very short period of time." ”

The temperature of the material is about 900 degrees Celsius, and the force of the eruption, combined with the impetus of the wind, can reach speeds of up to 500 kilometers per hour. In other words, it won't be long before Madagascar, Mauritius, Australia, Indonesia, and other countries closest to the island's volcano will be inundated with ash, causing devastating damage.

"The worst-case outcome, if the volcano does not stop erupting in a short period of time, it will spread in a circle, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and even the Antarctic will be completely covered, if there are no effective measures to deal with it, conservative estimates, it will only take a few months, and the whole earth will be finished." Hawke said with a blank face.

"One volcano can destroy the entire world?" Tian Yehan obviously didn't believe it.

At this time, Wei Daxun, who was holding Wang Wanqing and the child, said in a low voice: "One person can destroy the world, let alone a volcano, besides, not only is this one erupting, just by looking at the volcano erupting in Astaya, you can know how terrifying the Dao is." ”

"After a volcanic eruption, the impact of the explosion accumulated below will spread the ash into the stratosphere at least a few tens of kilometers above," Hawke explained. ”

Gu Huaiyi stared at the ground of the cabin and took over: "Volcanic ash can block the sun's rays, which is thousands of times more terrifying than haze. And if it continues to spread, it will completely change the earth's environment, or it will not be long before the temperature in the northern and southern hemispheres will drop rapidly, and the volcanic ash will pollute the air, which will erode the respiratory organs of all living things. ”

"Could it be...... Is the Doomsday Prophecy True? Ji Kefeng looked at Tang Shuxing, which had to remind him of Shangdu's doomsday prophecy.

"Whether it's true or not, we have to go back to Shangdu right away." Tang Shuxing turned his head and asked Hawke, "Where are we going?" ”

Hawke didn't answer, and at this time, the commander of the rescue team came over and looked at Tang Shuxing and the others: "Go back to the aircraft carrier, don't worry, it's a Chinese aircraft carrier." The team leader just smiled, left the group, and returned to the cockpit. He knew very well that there were some things that he should not know, so he didn't ask, didn't listen, and wouldn't say a word. In his eyes, these people who are armed with various weapons and have extraordinary skills to survive that harsh environment are only the "Chinese and American expatriates who need to be rescued" mentioned in the briefing.

"We need to figure out what the doomsday prophecy is." Tang Shuxing sat down and looked at the others, "I, Ji Ye and Gu Madman must go back, as for Ye Han's ......" Tang Shuxing looked at Tian Yehan again, "I think as long as we bring back the green dragon scales, the high-level officials of Shangdu will definitely trust us and let us go out to find other stones, and the end is approaching, they will also hurry up, but when we come out again, we can't rely on the strength of the outside world." ”

Tian Yehan looked at him, frowned and asked, "What do you want me to do?" Assemble an army that belongs to us? ”

"yes, almost. This experience showed me that it is too dangerous to do something without overwhelming armed force. Tang Shuxing turned to Gu Huaiyi again, "Crazy Gu, you are the richest here, and you are the one who dragged us into this matter, you have to pay for it." ”

Gu Huaiyi smiled, but gritted his teeth and asked, "Xing Er, do you know how much it costs to build an army?" Do you think I'm rich? ”

"No, it's not an army in the true sense of the word, but it requires a strong ability to maneuver, the kind of team that can rescue us in an emergency, even if there are only a dozen or twenty elite veterans." Tang Shuxing looked at Tian Yehan, "Yehan, you have been in the mercenary circle for many years, as long as you have money, this matter is not difficult to do, right?" ”

"It......'s hard to do," Tian Yehan said expressionlessly, "Mercenaries don't just give money, no matter how much money they have, they have to spend their lives." (To be continued......)
