Chapter 32: Volcano Refuge
On the way to Mount Kirumonake in Nagano Prefecture, Xia Long heard a muffled sound from a distance.
"Boom-" The sound rumbled in the night sky, like an artillery bombardment, and those who didn't know thought that there was a battle in the distance.
"Look over there!"
Xia Long followed his teammates' line of sight, and faintly saw the outline of a volcano in the moonlight, accompanied by billowing black smoke, and the red fire exploded one after another.
"Monster ......," Xia Long muttered, looking around at his teammates, and asked, "Did you hear a strange roar?" ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, but since I was at Akiyama's mother-in-law's house, there has been a vague roar in my ears.
"No," Washitsu, who was riding in the same transport vehicle, shook his head, "Did Gao Shu-kun hear it wrong, where did the roar come from?" ”
"No?" Xia Long frowned slightly, could it be that he was too sensitive?
However, the first few monsters appeared, and this phenomenon also happened, some vague episodes of events, monster screams......
After confirming that Capsule Gorzan was still in his arms, Xia Long looked up at the rows of planes whizzing overhead.
"Whew!"
In the night, the aircraft group cooperated with the ground convoy, and the momentum was mighty, like an army about to enter the battlefield.
Either way, evacuate the crowd first.
Nodding, Xia Long focused his attention on the direction of the volcano, thinking about the things that needed to be paid attention to in the rescue.
"This shelter is closed, please follow the instructions and take shelter in a new shelter!"
After the personnel of all parties were in place, they began to assist the masses to evacuate and evacuate the congested crowd.
"Let's make it!"
"This shelter has been designated as a danger zone...... "As the situation intensifies, a shelter closer to the volcano has also been designated as a danger zone," I repeat, please take shelter in a new shelter! ”
"Hurry!"
"Pull me!"
After carrying a child onto the transport truck, Xia Long looked at the bustling crowd and frowned.
"Hibi, won't the victory team come?" After sending off a group of trucks, Xia Long found Xibi in the busy.
"Ah, it seems that there are other missions on which to be dispatched," Hebi nodded at a woman, looking at the volcano, "and it's not uncommon for an extinct volcano to erupt again, and we're enough." ”
Other tasks?
Xia Long smiled bitterly, why was it at this time?
The longer he stayed in this place, the more he could feel a surging aura, and this volcanic eruption was definitely not that simple!
"Eh, is it a senior?" A voice of surprise sounded behind Xia Long, "What a coincidence! ”
"Hirohara?" Xia Long looked back and found that it was actually a junior of the investigation team, "Why are you here?" ”
"After the senior left, I also started to follow the mission," the young man smiled and pointed to the inside of the vault, "It just so happens that the captain is also inside, do you want to go over?" ”
Well?
Xia Long looked over and saw several TPC staff members surrounded by evacuees, one of whom was indeed the leader of the investigation team.
"Isn't this a refuge? Why take refuge in another shelter? ”
"Because the eruption is more severe, it's also becoming dangerous here."
"You know, we have a lot of old people and children, you can't move things like things, if you want us to go, we have to ......"
"Yes, yes, yes." In the noisy voices, the captain kept accompaniing.
"When will the eruption stop?"
"We are investigating the situation of the volcano, so let's evacuate somewhere else first!"
……
"Still no, I still have a task," looking at the captain's sweaty appearance, Xia Long shook his head and said with a smile, "It's you, hurry up and help, if you continue like this, the captain will be out of breath." ”
"Oh, oops!"
Retracting his gaze from Guangyuan's panicked figure, Xia Long paused with a smile.
Evacuation is just a task for TPC workers, but it is a disaster for nearby residents.
Looking at the crowd of people dragging their families, the sound of complaints, urging and the cries of children came and went, Xia Long sighed lightly.
"Hopefully things don't get too bad."
"Gao Shu, you take care of the old man and children!" Hibi's roar rang out in Xia Long's ears.
"Yes!"
The rest of the night was spent busy with investigators investigating the volcano and rescuers moving people to help evacuate.
"Come on, come over here."
The next day, many tents were erected outside the Kuwatacho shelter, and all kinds of people were huddled together, their faces full of exhaustion, and many children were frightened by the sound of rumbling in the distance.
As the eruption intensified, a depressed atmosphere spread through the evacuation area, and most people were silent.
"Alright, here you go!" Xia Long scooped up bowls of porridge and handed them to the children in the long line.
"Here, yours, take it."
"Next!"
"Thank you!"
The children's young faces were flushed with a little rosy.
"Here's for you!"
Seeing a little boy hand the steamed buns to the girl who was sobbing in a low voice next to him, Xia Long showed a smile, picked up a plate of steamed buns and walked over and said, "It's okay, it's going to be fine!" ”
"Thank you!" The girl whispered her thanks.
"Take your time, don't rush, everyone has a share." Nodding at the girl, Xia Long continued to distribute food.
"This is the Kuwata Town Shelter at the foot of Mount Kiramon, and it has been several hours since the volcanic eruption at midnight," a female reporter next to her started the live broadcast, "I think there must have been a lot of people who couldn't sleep last night because of anxiety and fear, so let's take a look at the scene." ”
Xia Long was explaining something to the female volunteer next to him, when a microphone suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he saw that a camera was already pointed at him.
"Hello, how is the rescue situation now?"
"Uh," in the face of the reporter's inquiry, Xia Long was a little stuck, he was not very used to talking in front of the camera, especially the live broadcast, paused, his face stiffened and said, "After our efforts, most people have been evacuated here...... Belch...... I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay," seeing that Xia Long's expression was very unnatural, the reporter smiled, "It's good to talk about the situation roughly." ”
"The TPC Transportation Department has already shipped most of the daily necessities," Xia Long exhaled lightly, pointing to the materials piled up in the field, "and there are also medical teams on standby...... People don't have to worry too much in the shelter, and when the volcano stabilizes, everyone can return safely. ”
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
Seeing the reporter leave and walk into the refugees to interview, Xia Long couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"You didn't just behave like a good TPC member." A figure walked out from behind Xia Long, and Xia Long looked over in surprise and found that it was Masaki Keigo.
"Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" Masaki Keigo looked at Xia Long deeply, with a mysterious smile on his face, "In a little while, you'll understand." ”
"What?" Xia Long was about to continue asking, when the entire ground suddenly shook violently.
"What's going on?" The crowd rushed in a panic.
"Boom-" As the ground shook, the volcano in the distance became more and more violent, and it seemed that it was about to burst in the next moment.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
After picking up a few children, Natsuryu found that Keigo Masaki had disappeared into the crowd.
"This guy! He couldn't have done it this time, right? ”
Gritting his teeth, Xia Long hurriedly chased after Masaki Keigo.
