"Forgive our sins, O God!" Famm heard someone muttering to himself in the crowd.

His confession resonated with many people around him, and many followed the voice and began to repent and pray.

Fam's back was pressed against the rock behind him, and the rain of fire in the sky did not stop for a moment, and Fam could feel the slight vibration of the rock behind him—the reaction caused by the meteorite rain hitting the other side of the mountain.

The anti-slope effect of the hillside makes it a temporary safe zone, but it's an outdoor area, and the slightest meteorite landing around it can cause everyone to panic. But in everyone's eyes, it was as if the gods had really heard their confessions and prayers, and deliberately left them a way out.

Most of the mountains here are stony, and there is very little soil left on them, so there are not many plants. When all these plants were burned by this rain of flames, the world around them gradually fell into darkness. The darkness gave Fam a sense of security—the fires from the sky became clearer in the darkness, which allowed everyone to predict the danger of their place from the trajectory of many stones.

Time seemed to be getting extremely difficult, and there was no new bright spot in the sky, and Fam would subconsciously pay attention and pray that the bright spot would not come towards them. Confession has gradually become a mass ritual from a spontaneous act of some people, and even Prince Elise, who is in the crowd, joins the confession procession - this unprecedented danger makes everyone realize the preciousness and fragility of life. Now, they really have nothing but faith, and even this little place under their feet may soon disappear.

Fam clearly saw that at the foot of the mountain, the half-molten lava had begun to form small magma ponds. Under the action of gravity, the dark red magma began to flow slowly down the mountain. On their side, a mountain was facing the northern slope, and the entire slope was this faint dark red. In some places where it meets streams, the collision of magma and water produces a large amount of water vapor, which is dispersed in the air, mixed with the strong smell of sulfur in the air, making this dark red world look eerily unreal.

The black smoke had covered all the sky, and the previously bright starry sky was gone, and when you looked up, you could only see a piece of darkness. It was only when the fiery red meteorite was conceived from it that the black smoke could be seen rolling through the light of that moment.

As God has always said to them, the whole world will be destroyed, and all living beings will be tested in the face of disaster. Whether it is a castle made of stone or a hut made of thatch, it will be completely destroyed in this disaster. In the face of this catastrophe, there is no difference between the king and the commoners, between men and women, between the old and the children—all those who do not believe in the gods of the land, who do not follow them into the area of refuge, will become a charred corpse in the sea of fire.

The rain of fire continued for two or three hours, and then the red pillar in the north disappeared from the horizon. The rain of fire in the sky began to gradually decrease, and the area began to gradually shrink in the direction of the red pillar.

Fam borrowed a "flashlight" from the people in the cave, a lighting tool said to have been brought by the oracle, and cautiously walked out of the hillside, following the path he had come from towards the ridge. Most of the magma along the way has cooled, but some can still feel the temperature. When he finally climbed the ridge, Fam looked at the dark red forest fire in the north, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he shouted below: "The rain of fire has stopped!" Get down the hill! ”

……

When Wu Xiaoqing walked out of the cave where the teleportation point was located, the whole world had already changed.

The whole world outside the cave was covered with a black haze, as if it was going to be a black snowfall. A thick layer of volcanic ash had accumulated on the ground, and they could still see clear footprints as they walked through it.

Wu Xiaoqing picked up the telescope and saw that on the distant horizon, the volcano seemed to have stopped erupting.

"Is this already over?"

"The end? How can it be? "This is just the beginning, and the outbreak will last about three days." ”

"What do you need me to do now?"

"You don't need anything, let them see it, that's enough."

Wu Xiaoqing soon knew the meaning of this sentence.

When he entered the cave where the king was, almost the entire cave of soldiers and officials knelt down before him, not alone like a knight, but on the wet ground, with their mouths on the ground he passed and kissing the ground. Even the king, who had always been close to him, was unusually after he came out to greet Wu Xiaoqing in person, and did not walk in front with Wu Xiaoqing, nor did he walk side by side, but fell behind him, and bowed slightly.

When Wu Xiaoqing was walking, the person behind him dared to straighten up and slowly followed. When Wu Xiaoqing turned around in surprise, everyone fell to the ground again.

In the past, Wu Xiaoqing stood and talked to the king, but this time, at the request of everyone, Wu Xiaoqing sat in the king's position, and the king stood beside him, helping him carry a water cup like an attendant.

"How's it going? What's the problem? The search and rescue team asked the king.

The officer in charge of verifying the damage carefully raised his head and replied: "Very well, Lord God, all the people in the cave are safe!" Everyone is celebrating the Lord's kindness and kindness! ”

The search and rescue team asked again dissatisfiedly: "I'm asking, what problems need to be solved!" ”

The clerk apparently didn't know how to deal with the oracle very well, and was not used to his pace of work, but after a careful glance at the king, he said, "Many of the caves have contaminated water. ”

Wu Xiaoqing nodded and said, "I will send the equipment to purify the water as soon as possible, what else?" ”

Everyone looked at each other: "There is no problem, my lord, everything is in order." Indeed, in their opinion, in the face of such a catastrophe, everyone has something to eat, clothes to wear, medicine to eat, and even masks to wear – which is even more comfortable than they used to work at home, and what is there to complain about.

The search and rescue team asked, "What about the temperature, what is the weather like today?" ”

"Hmm...... It seems to have gotten a little colder. ”

Of course it's getting colder, and the temperature is a full four degrees lower today than it was this time yesterday, but luckily it's summer, and they've brought in a lot of clothes, so it doesn't feel particularly noticeable. But this trend will continue forever – with such a massive eruption, the ash may not disperse for a month or two, and within a month or two, the temperature of the entire affected area will drop to precarious levels.

"It's going to get even colder in the future...... Be careful, try to light a fire outside the cave and let everyone take turns to keep warm. But never be in a cave, it will cause widespread hypoxic death. ”

"Missing...... Oxygen? ”

"In short, it is forbidden to light a fire indoors!" The attitude of the search and rescue team was very strict, but no one at the scene had a dissatisfied opposition, as if this was Wu Xiaoqing's rightful power.

"Will you use the hand-cranked generator?" The search and rescue team asked again.

"There are quite a few people who have mastered it," said the commissioner, "and they are no longer afraid of the flashlight, and many call this pillar of light the ...... of angels."

Wu Xiaoqing didn't listen to these people here anymore, he stood up directly and left the cave directly.

"Your Majesty," he turned to Elis as he left the cave, "put on your mask and come with me, I have something to say." ”

The road between the caves is now difficult to walk because of the ash, and the few roads that are left are the ones that the soldiers braved in the morning. Wu Xiaoqing and Elise trekked through this thick pile of ash one foot deep and one foot deeper, and as they walked, Wu Xiaoqing talked to him about the future of his kingdom and his people.

Just like the end of the first rescue, up to now, Wu Xiaoqing's most important work can be said to have been completed, a large number of people have arrived in the designated area, and there are a large number of grains that have been transported over, as well as a large amount of grain hoarded in the mountains by the previous pyramid scheme, saving some food, and supplying it for half a year to a year, it should not be difficult. After a month or two at most, they can try to resume production on the land.

"Volcanic ash itself is a good fertilizer, and you will have a good harvest if you plant on it," the search and rescue team explained, "I also left you a map with the identification of nearby minerals, and in the nearby mountains, there are some copper and iron mines, as well as coal, and you can use coal to make iron and make farm tools......

When the search and rescue team was talking, the king seriously used his mobile phone to record what he said - this very old feature phone was a gift that Shen Changwen brought back from the earth and gave to the king. Although it has little value on the earth, it is still a super artifact that integrates photography, recording, lighting, and playing games.

"And your medicine...... If insulin can't be stored for a long time, there's no way to leave it to you. I left you a lot of oral medicines, and you have taken them in the past few days, and the effect is still okay...... If it goes well, these pills can give you several years. ”

"And how many years from now?" The Kingdom of Elise seemed to hear some signs in the tone of the search and rescue team, "Are you leaving us?" ”

"The mission God has given us has been accomplished," the search and rescue team said, "and we will be gone after a maximum of three to five days." If you have any needs, just mention it, we can meet it, and we will try to meet you. After that, it's up to you. ”

King Elise has never been a person who is controlled by emotion, but after he heard the words of the search and rescue team, he couldn't help but be shocked and said, "So fast, oracle? Now is our most difficult time! ”

"No, the period before the catastrophe was the most difficult, and now, your only opponent is the whole world. Keeping your own health, keeping your rule and keeping your people alive as much as possible, Your Majesty, is God's greatest desire for you. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Wu Xiaoqing felt Elis moving behind him, he turned around and saw Elis kneeling on one knee in front of him.
