Chapter 42 The vicissitudes of life

Lu Qing didn't know about all the earth-shaking changes in the outside world, because he had long forgotten the passage of time, the pain in his body, and even his own existence.

When the muscles, bones, skin, and flesh are no longer afraid of the burning of the hot magma, and when they no longer need to be repaired and reshaped all the time, Lu Qing doesn't know.

When the internal organs began to be reshaped and reborn, Lu Qing didn't know.

How long it will take for the internal and external integration and the mixing of elements to be the same, Lu Qing is even more unclear.

In this way, Lu Qing, who was completely oblivious to time and self, spent spring and autumn in the lava of Mount Fuji one spring and autumn after another, no matter how the world changed, no matter how the outside world vicissitudes, it could not affect him.

Similarly, Lu Qing has never had any impact on the world, even as if he has never been such a person.

Except for those who had contact with him at the beginning, no one knew about Lu Qing, and no one would have thought that there was such a person in this world, a person who had spent years and years in volcanic lava at thousands of degrees.

Time passes like a white horse, and the years pass as fast as a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, sixty years have passed.

In the time of Jiazi, the world has long been a vicissitudes of life.

At the beginning, the Soviet Union, which held high the great banner of communism under the boundless fire of Germany, gradually forgot its original intention and ideals, became the imperialist Red Tsarist Russia, and finally went to extinction.

At the beginning, those Dongying *** elements who shouted "100 million people are crushed" either died of nuclear bombs or died of time, and of course there are still many remnants who are still alive in the world.

At the beginning, Huaxia Shenzhou, which was full of smoke and artillery fire, is now flourishing, accumulating strength for the great rejuvenation in the future.

The world and countries have undergone such earth-shaking changes, and the changes of individuals are even more unimaginable.

The vigorous "Jiashen Rebellion" in the Inhuman World has long been hidden in the corners of history, and no one knows about it except for the older generation of Inhumans who have experienced it.

The thirty-six thieves and the eight miracle skills that were famous at the beginning gradually faded out of the alien circle, and no one paid much attention to them except for a few people with hearts.

And Lu Qing, who had been silent for a long time in the scorching lava of Mount Fuji, finally completed the cultivation of earth fire refining body.

A.D. 2001

At this moment, there is an atmosphere of silence and sadness in the whole of Tokyo, or indeed in the whole of Toei.

Every pedestrian on the street was apprehensive, and everyone was running briskly with their heads down, not at all bothering to communicate with the others.

And many housewives are constantly in front of the television, watching with fear at the towering sacred mountain in their television broadcasts.

As early as three months ago, Toei's geological department had issued a warning that Mt. Fuji had been shaking for unknown reasons recently, and official speculation was likely that volcanic activity was caused by geological movements.

This means that this sacred mountain in Dongying, this rare huge active volcano, is likely to erupt violently!

And if Mt. Fuji erupts violently, the impact will be immeasurable.

At worst, the whole of Tokyo could be submerged in volcanic ash, and at worst, the entire island of Honshu could sink due to violent geological movements!

Honshu Island is the core of the four islands of Toei, and it is also the gathering place of most of the population of Toei, once Honshu Island sinks, Toei is equivalent to the death of the country!

To this end, the Toei government has held several expert meetings and dispatched relevant departments to Mt. Fuji to conduct surveys to find out why Mt. Fuji is abnormally active and to come up with a solution.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the technical department surveyed, it was impossible to find the source of these anomalies, and no reasonable explanation could be made from the perspective of volcanic activity or geological movements.

In desperation, the government had no choice but to take the most conservative approach: to estimate the impact of the incident as much as possible and to move out of the neighborhood in advance.

Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, which bear the brunt of the evacuation, must have been the first to evacuate the residents, and Tokyo originally planned to evacuate the people, but due to the special nature of Tokyo, the resolution has been pending since it was submitted to the top management.

The government did not immediately announce the information because it was afraid that the public would find out about the incident and there would be unrest, and planned to wait until the expert group reached a conclusion and discussed countermeasures.

But there is no such thing as an impermeable wall, and it was leaked out in advance.

However, the craziest thing is not the people, but the media.

On the day the news was leaked, 30 or 40 media outlets, large and small, keenly seized the hot spot, and not only newspapers and publications were overwhelming, but they also set up equipment on Mt. Fuji and began to broadcast live 24 hours a day.

As soon as the media made a force, the people naturally quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter, and the people did not care about the discord between the high-level people, they only worried about the safety of themselves and their families.

For a while, the whole Dongying became panicked, and everyone was afraid that they would not see the sun the next day.

Now things are completely out of control.

The crisis on Mt. Fuji has not yet happened, and the economic crisis in Toei cannot be controlled!

The foundation of the modern financial system is confidence, stocks, funds, securities trading, bank lending, all financial activities are based on the people's confidence in the country, when the country has an irresistible crisis, the people will lose confidence, whether rich or poor, they are eager to immediately cash out their assets, and then flee abroad with the money.

When everybody does that, there's a terrible thing that happens: a run.

And in the event of a run, the banks will go bankrupt, the market economy will collapse, and the entire country's economic system will collapse!

This is why wars and natural disasters can be devastating to a country's economy.

In this way, before the crisis of Mt. Fuji happened, the entire economy of Toei was on the verge of collapse, because no one dared to continue to invest here, and those who originally had small assets also sold their assets and fled early, and those who remained were basically civilians who had no power, no power, and no way out.

Seeing that the matter had been leaked, the Japanese government simply stopped hiding it and informed the people of all the situation, and promised that the people in the areas that might be affected would move out as soon as the expert team calculated the scope of the incident.

Although the government has made a commitment and the people have been reassured for the time being, no one dares to let go of their hearts, because no one knows when Mt. Fuji will erupt, and the team of experts may not be able to think of a suitable response strategy before then.

So people are watching the situation almost every day, hoping that the government will move them to a safe place right away.

Until this time, many people still had a little luck in their hearts, thinking that the eruption would not have much impact, and at most it would only affect a few prefectures and cities around Mt. Fuji.

Unfortunately, after many surveys and data simulations by the Toei expert group, it was concluded that this volcanic activity is very strange and contains a huge amount of energy, and it is likely to affect the entire island of Honshu!

As soon as the conclusion came out, not only Dongying, but the whole world was shocked!
