Chapter 248: Old Chuan

"Do you smell anything?" When it was close to noon the next day, Luo Yuan suddenly asked. (See the latest chapter┲ ̅請丄_☆~ωǒ看書閣.КAΝsΗUg.°COм)

"It doesn't seem to be!" The others shook their heads.

Luo Yuan sniffed again suspiciously, this time it was clearer, it was a smell similar to burnt and with a hint of rotten eggs, which made him vaguely familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere.

Memories soon come to light, volcanoes, and the smell is similar to that of volcanoes. However, Luo Yuan didn't worry too much, the danger of a volcano in an eruptive state and a volcano in a state to be erupted is completely different. If you encounter the former, it is best to run as far as possible. And the latter, just keep emitting smoke, maybe ten years or a hundred years may not erupt.

As we approached the volcano, others began to smell it.

When everyone stood on a huge rock on the top of a mountain peak and looked into the distance, everyone was shocked to find that there was not only one nearby volcano, but a group, along the lines of several mountain ranges, like beacon fires on the Great Wall, which were ignited one by one, and the smoke was billowing out, which made people's hearts shocked.

"Why are there so many volcanoes here, it seems that there are no active volcanoes in China." Huo Dong said, his face slightly pale.

"Maybe, but that's before!" Luo Yuan looked at the volcano, took a deep breath and said, "The drastic changes in sea level, as well as the external cosmic storm, will affect the lava activity. This volcano will either not erupt, or if it does, it will probably be a supervolcano, and not only will it be flooded with magma, but even the rebuilt area will be affected.

"It's not that serious, is it?" Lin Xiaoji was taken aback and said.

"I'm just a conservative estimate!" Luo Yuandao, he has seen a documentary about supervolcanoes.

When a volcano erupts, lava everywhere is only secondary, and the most harmful are ash and poisonous gases, and a supervolcano like this can spray hundreds of millions of tons of material into the air with each eruption, when the day will turn into night, and the summer will turn into winter, not to mention the nearby reconstruction area, even half of China will be affected. He didn't know if the mutated creatures would die on a large scale at that time, but for the human beings who were still breathing, it would definitely be worse.

"We have to go back to the reconstruction area as soon as possible and report the matter." The company commander's face turned grim when he heard this, and he hurriedly said.

Luo Yuan nodded, and then he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked towards one of the volcanoes.

He thought at first that he was unlucky, and the volcano was about to erupt, but with the flames spewing out, an insect-shaped monster poked its head out of the crater.

"Look, what's that?" At this time, the others also noticed, and everyone stared at the mysterious creature that lived in the magma without blinking.

Although it is still nearly six or seven kilometers away from here, due to its large size, everyone can still see it clearly, it looks like a red worm, the surface of its body is a circle of ring-shaped stripes, and there are two rows of densely packed black feet under its feet, it can hardly see any eyes, only a large round mouth spitting flames occupies most of its head.

At this time, its head kept shaking, and a high-pressure flame up to 100 meters long flew wantonly in mid-air as it shook.

Several nearby trees were swept away by the red and white flames in mid-air, and immediately began to burn, turning into a pitch-black mass of charcoal in less than ten seconds, which showed that the temperature of this flame was extremely high.

The flames continued to erupt, as if receiving some kind of signal, and from another crater, worms poked out, and then, the third, the fourth...... Luo Yuan was shocked to find that almost every volcano here had been occupied by this mysterious creature.

Next, this area began to enter the carnival moment of "worms", a large number of pillars of flame staggered back and forth in the air, the terrifying heat made the air distort, and even where Luo Yuan was, the temperature increased by several degrees Celsius, and his breath carried a burning smell.

The revelry lasted for half an hour before it finally stopped, and the worms began to burrow into the crater.

The faces of everyone were faintly pale, and it took more than ten seconds to come to their senses. The group did not dare to stay around this side for a long time, and when the worms were gone, they bypassed the volcano group and continued to move forward.

………

As you go, although the terrain is still undulating and the peaks are endless, you can feel that the altitude is decreasing, for example, the nearby snow-capped mountains are gradually disappearing, and the peaks are starting to become low, which is undoubtedly good news.

And on the fifth day, the group even found a trace of a human.

It was the ruins of a village, with several stone pillars lying alone on the ground, broken bricks and some rotten furniture could be seen everywhere under the weeds, and Huang Jiahui even found an intact porcelain bowl with the signs of the Mao era in the ruins.

This shows that the village is not isolated from the rest of the world, and it may not be long before they can get out of the mountains.

This made the group excited and mixed feelings at the same time, and the difficulties and obstacles encountered along the way were frightened, and everyone was under unimaginable pressure.

The path of the village has been obscured by vegetation, but some clues can still be seen if you look closely, such as relatively solid ground and some homogeneous rubble.

The monitor lizard walked along the trail, and the ruins of a village-like village could be seen everywhere along the way, and as evening approached, a concrete road suddenly appeared in front of them.

The concrete road was badly damaged, potholed, covered with moss and weeds, and mixed with the jungle on either side.

After stepping onto the concrete road, there are more and more traces of humans, and the surrounding woods are gradually thinning.

A large number of collapsed buildings, all kinds of colorful garbage, and a smell of mold in the air, but perhaps because of the state of mind, everyone was a little excited when they saw this scene.

"I don't know where this is?" Huang Jiahui forcibly suppressed the tumbling emotions in her heart and asked.

"I guess it's a small town. Soon we will be in the city, where there are definitely well-preserved maps. Lian Commander Xia said, his tone slightly high.

It was already getting dark, so everyone discussed it briefly, and decided not to stay, but rushed to the nearest city overnight.

Because the terrain of the highway is relatively flat, the monitor lizard finally exerted its terrifying speed, it took a heavy step, under the urging of Luo Yuan, it began to run fast, and easily reached **ten yards, shouting and blowing, everyone tightly grasped the rattan blanket on the monitor lizard's back to avoid being taken off.

Located roughly on the border between Qinghai and Tibet, it is a sparsely populated area with few villages to be seen along the way, except for one road. A few shriveled car tires were scattered and clinging to the road, and the car had long been corroded into a pile of red rust.

The road was quiet and lonely, except for the heavy footsteps of monitor lizards and King Kong, echoing in the night sky.

……………………

At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone finally stepped into the city in the forest.

It seems to be an ancient city thousands of years ago, full of years and decay, it has long been unable to see its original appearance, and even the color of reinforced concrete has been covered with endless green.

However, everyone has long been surprised and turned a blind eye to this.

Although most of the buildings have decayed and collapsed, there are still quite a few that are still standing and blending into the nearby woods with the support of vines.

"Let's go to the tallest building in front of us." Luo Yuandao.

The building, which was about five or six stories high and covered in a thick layer of green vines, was already the tallest building that could be preserved in the vicinity, and Luo Yuan jumped off the monitor lizard and split the plants on the surface of the building with a chopping knife, soon revealing the severely corroded concrete inside.

He stretched out his foot and kicked it, only to hear a "bang", and a large hole appeared in the wall.

Although his strength is not small, normal walls will never be so easy, but these concrete, under the corrosion of plants, have long lost their solidity, become like sand, and a slight kick of the foot collapses a large area.

Luo Yuan let the monitor lizard and King Kong stay in place, and then burrowed into the cave, and several mutant beasts that made nests here were cleaned up as soon as possible, and then everyone followed suit.

It was dark and damp inside, with a strong smell of decay.

"Boss Luo, have you found anything?" Huo Dong leaned over and asked.

"No, it's so damp in here, even the desks are rotten, not to mention the paper maps, I'll go upstairs and have a look, you guys get out first." Luo Yuan said. The buildings here are very fragile, like tofu slag, and with a little force, they can collapse, and no one but him will be absolutely safe.

"Be careful!" Huang Jiahui said.

Luo Yuan nodded, and then walked quickly towards the staircase, the staircase inside had been completely broken, he had to jump directly to the second floor, the strong impact made the second floor collapse a large area, but he had already left the place before, his body flashed, and entered one of the rooms.

The building seemed to be an office building, and Luo Yuan saw a lot of computer wreckage and some rotting paper documents.

Luo Yuan rummaged carefully, trying to find some useful information, but unfortunately all of them were no longer visible, and they became a substance similar to clay.

"Huh!" That's when he noticed a vertical safe in the corner.

It was a little rusty, but it was not damaged after all, and with a hint of joy on his face, he pulled out his horse chopping knife and gently cut it, and inside was a thick stack of documents and invoices.

Quite well preserved, except for a little damp. It's a pity that there are no maps, but think about it, no one is going to be idle and put the map in the safe.

He picked up a document, this was a business contract, Luo Yuan didn't look at it carefully, only looked at Party A and Party B in the back.

"Party A: Jiuchuan Yongle Advertising Co., Ltd."

"Party B: Jiuchuan Shengde Tourism Real Estate Co., Ltd."

He looked at other documents and found that most of the addresses were in Jiuchuan, it seemed that ** was not far from ten, this city should be Jiuchuan, but he had no impression of this name at all.

ps: Look up to yourself, and you can only have a chance to make up for it tomorrow.
