Chapter 172: The Power of Calamity
"It is reported that the recent geological activity of the Longnan Hengduan Mountains is frequent, and according to the judgment of geological experts and relevant units, the Longnan Hengduan Mountains and other areas may be entering a geologically active period in the historical cycle in the near future."
"Nanmen Volcano is showing signs of frequent activity again, and experts predict that if Nanmen Volcano repeats the major eruptions seen in history, the volcanic dust from the eruption will cover several surrounding provinces and cities. However, at the same time, experts judge that the probability of such a major outbreak in recent years is low. ”
"If the Nanmen volcano erupts, will it really only involve a few nearby provinces and cities? Experts say: that's the truth! ”
"Gale warning: A hurricane will make landfall on the coast of Zhoushui City in the southern sea area tonight, and villages and towns along the coast should be prepared."
"Tsunami warning: In the northern seas, affected by the storm, Xu'an City, Qinshui City and other coastal areas will be affected by the tsunami." Disaster is showing her power and authority, and it seems that the world will be turned upside down in an instant.
A large number of news about natural disasters appeared uncontrollably on the Internet, like the shadow of a giant peak pouring downward, hanging over the whole world.
The information about the catastrophe seems to fill all people's cognition, and it is impossible to stop the gloom and unease.
“…… Well? Why did I sleep during the day and wake up like that? How do you feel like a disaster everywhere? ”
"Actually, it didn't come out of nowhere, some things have been going on for days, but you haven't paid attention."
“…… What to do if I can't sleep, tossing and turning in bed, fidgeting, and feeling like I can't live all day under a natural disaster, all blame that marketing account. ”
"Say that the eruption of the South Gate volcano could trigger a collective eruption of other volcanoes around it, and then the whole world will be shrouded in ash?"
"No, when he saw the final result, he told me that this possibility was very small, as if he was worried about a meteorite hitting the earth...... But I'm still a little uneasy. ”
"In fact, disasters are happening all the time in the whole world, and what do you call it, you are too sensitive to the information of this kind of disaster."
"What about you?"
"My house is flooded, and when I evacuate, I can only lie on the floor of the closet and talk to you at this time."
"It feels like it's a mess everywhere, I counted the news, and it doesn't feel like I'm too sensitive, it's just a fucking natural disaster......"
"I don't know why, my nerves have been tense, and my heart has been panicking, like some great disaster is coming, and it won't really be the end of the world, right?"
"It's the end of the world, who do you love, it's better to let my damn boss die a miserable death."
"Is it possible that you will die worse than him by then......"
"Relax, everyone can still post their worries on the Internet here, then it's not a big problem." The comments under the related news, although they are all a little worried about the disaster, but the fear is still not very strong, for most ordinary people, in a relatively calm environment, there are too many disasters beyond cognition in a short period of time, and before the disaster really falls on the body, the reaction is a little sluggish.
However, having said that, there are still a large number of people who repeatedly look at the relevant news and can't sleep all night.
……
"Lala......" Lingnan City. Outside a convenience store, a man guarding the store just looked through some news about the disaster on the Internet and left a few comments.
At this time, he raised his head again and looked out of the convenience store with some hesitation in his eyes. Outside the house, it's raining heavily.
From that moment in the evening, suddenly the weather took a sharp turn, and layers of dark clouds as thick as mountains covered the whole sky, and then it rained down, and now, the rain outside the eaves was still dense and heavy, and the light reflected in the house was blocked by the water curtain.
It was pitch black outside, and no one could be seen, except for the occasional sound of a car passing by, and the sound was getting less and less.
It seems that under the heavy rain, this convenience store has been surrounded into an island. Looking down, there are three steps in front of the convenience store.
At the moment, the stagnant water on the street has already flooded the steps under the continuous torrential rain, and it is expected that it will not be long before the water flows down the convenience store.
The man, on the other hand, was hesitant to leave the convenience store and go home. If he walked now, he would have to wade through knee-deep water, and he would have to brave the torrential rain to move forward in the torrential rain.
If he stays here, the convenience store will only have one floor, and the water will soon flood into the house, and if the rain continues, he may not be able to leave.
Two days ago, there was actually such a heavy rainstorm, and it was just a burst of rain that stopped.
So he was a little hesitant...... And in this hesitation, the water has become higher and higher, he sat in the convenience store, when the water has submerged his instep, he didn't think about it, so he took something to block the water at the door of the store, and then moved the things on the shelves low to a slightly higher place, and when he turned around and returned to the door of the convenience store, he suddenly realized that he was standing in the convenience store, and the water had already submerged the place where his calf came up.
He subconsciously wanted to pull down the roller shutter door of the convenience store to block the rising water outside, paused, he came back to his senses, looked at the surrounding water, his mouth opened slightly, it seemed that he didn't expect the water to grow so fast, and the situation suddenly reached a time when there was no choice, and then he panicked, picked up the phone and tried to call for help.
…… Xubei City. A young woman puts down her phone. Just now, she was also discussing with people on the Internet about the recent frequent natural disasters in various places.
When chatting, she was also a little uneasy, this uneasiness came from the unknown, from the disaster, from the unexpected changes, she may be difficult to concrete, specifically experience what will happen if those disasters expand and then affect her, but naturally, there is some fear of such a world coming.
But soon, she didn't care about the anxiety, she threw off the phone because it was a little hot, irritable, and a little itchy skin.
The weather in Xubei City has been very strange recently, even though Xubei City is located in the south, but this midwinter has just passed, and the early spring season is too hot.
Not only hot, but also dry. The air was dry, as if there was not a trace of moisture. The night was already much better, but she wiped it twice in a row, and now she still peeled off the skin when she touched it, like the wind blowing in through the cracks in the window, and every time it took away the moisture from her body.
During the day, it was even more severe, the scorching sun was constantly scorching the earth and everything on the ground, and some surface moisture should have been steamed, but the wind was still dry, and the ground was dusty.
During the day today, it was rare to have a light rain, but the rain fell on the ground and evaporated, and there was still not much moisture in the air.
But obviously, it's only been a few days, and it hasn't rained for more than ten days, so why is it like this.
......The young woman wiped her body lotion, but she couldn't help but scratch her neck and leg armor again, and there was a clear scratching sound in the room, until she saw blood on her dry skin, and she finally stopped,
"Winter ...... At this time, there was a slight collision sound by the bedroom window, and the young woman paused, and couldn't help but look over, and then walked over with some curiosity, opened the curtains, and then leaned closer to the window, and saw that it was outside her closed window, there were grasshoppers flying wildly, and the grasshoppers were yellow, like dead leaves, as if they wanted to enter the house, so they hit the glass directly.......
Is there a grasshopper at this time? The young woman had some doubts in her heart, but after thinking about it, it has been so hot recently, the climate is so abnormal, and it is very possible for grasshopper eggs to hatch early.
"Buzz ......" The grasshopper that was still flying around the window suddenly flapped its wings and hit the glass in front of the young woman, and the young woman was so frightened that she shrank back, and then hurriedly reached out and closed the window tighter.
Thinking about the compound eyes I saw when I looked at the grasshopper just now, I rubbed my arms again and left the window.
Grasshoppers, sometimes by another name, are called locusts. ……
Although experts predict that even if the South Gate volcano is reactivated, the likelihood of a major eruption is still very low. But let's just just in case, everyone will follow the arrangement, go to the town, the county settlement site for a while, give our observation department a little time, make sure that there is indeed no outbreak, and then come back to see the situation. It's all for safety, everyone says no. "Near the South Gate Volcano, there are not many towns around it because of geography.
Historically, however, the volcano has been active for very little time, and a little further away there are still some villages scattered in the cols.
Changping Village is such a village. At this time, even though it was already night, the people in Changping Village were still evacuating.
Those who had already packed their belongings were scattered along the village road, walking in the direction of the village entrance, where buses and some means of transportation sent by the government were parked in the open space.
Although some people whispered on the road, everyone was generally silent. Carrying a large bag and a small bag, you can look at the volcano protruding from the mountains in the distance, or look at the villages and families around you.
Although it is said that the probability of an outbreak is small, it is natural that everyone is still anxious when everyone is urged to evacuate at night. And the people in the village who were supposed to have dinner at home, or rest and gossip, are now on the way to escape the disaster, and naturally have some relatives.
There is a worry about the unknown, and a feeling that normal life is about to be broken like this. So, naturally, there are people who are reluctant to go.
Most of the words of the people who organized the evacuation and shouted with loudspeakers were also for these people.
"Mom, let's go, I'll help you pack up your things."
"You give me something...... You guys go, I'm not leaving. ”
"Mom, what are you doing! Everyone has said that you will come back after a few days of withdrawal to see the situation, and it is not for you to move, nor for you to flee, but for you to live in a place where you will be resettled! ”
"When I'm old, I'm really going to be a lake...... Do you really have to come back after you leave like this...... This house was built by your father, so I will stay here and die here, so that I will not find your father when I die. ”
"You two let's go, let's go quickly, it's not safe to stay here." At the door of a family, an old lady was reluctant to leave, and her son and daughter-in-law were persuading her.
The son and daughter-in-law were a little anxious, but the old lady herself was very calm.
"Old lady...... What's the matter......" The man who was maintaining order heard the movement and immediately ran over,
“…… Comrade, I don't mean to cause trouble for you. But you don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to persuade me. I'm older and don't have to waste time on me. ”
"I don't want to go, this is my home, I'm willing to die here. I knew that if I left here, I would come back again, and my home would be gone. Seeing the old lady's calm and stubborn appearance, the person who maintained order opened his mouth, and then did not try to persuade at all.
"You two cooperate, I'll call two people to come and directly resist the old lady." Listening to this man's words, the old lady looked at it, then deflated, and then looked back at her house, and tears fell at once,
"Don't bother you, I'll ......go by myself" Then, the old lady lost her soul, as if she had lost her spirit, and her son kept persuading her, but she didn't get a response, just followed and walked forward.
Beside them, the people on the village road heard the movement here, and some people looked at this side, but basically they all quickly turned their heads, and they all had something on their minds.
“…… The last time I was here, it was when my dad was a kid......"
"Listen to my grandfather, the magma flowing into the river at that time......" The two old ladies gathered together, looked at the stream by the roadside, and whispered,
"The mountain god bodhisattva is going to be angry again...... "An old man raised his head, glanced at the volcano in the distance, and sighed long.
"You little old man, what is a mountain god, my grandson is a geology student, just say this is called geological activities, do you understand......"
"I don't know, I know that when this volcano erupts, a lot of people will die...... The spewed stones can kill people when they hit people...... "Probably there are only a few children in this team, and they are the most heartless.
They also realized how such a big disaster would affect them, and they only felt that it was interesting and novel for everyone in the whole village to leave and go to a place they had not been before.
"Daddy, where are we going?"
"Didn't you say that? Go to the city for two days. ”
"Oh...... Dad, the grandmother just said that there will be magma flowing here, what is magma like...... "The child's question was asked over and over again, a man holding the little girl, carrying luggage with his wife, was also in the line to the entrance of the village, the wife had some worries in her eyes, the man was also a little heartbroken, and the little girl was brisk.
“…… Magma, it's red, it's so hot, it's hot......" The old lady who walked in front of her heard the little girl's voice, turned around and explained to the little girl,
"Reflected on your face, it is also red......"
"Isn't it like fire...... Reflected in the face red. ”
"Well, almost...... But it's hot, and sometimes there is a fire in the mountains and forests because of this...... You can't touch it, and you can't get close to ......."
"Hmm......" The little girl nodded, as if she understood. The little girl's father smiled a little, and then looked at the volcano in the distance.
"Daddy...... So when can we get back...... None of the chickens in the house were taken away. ”
"Well, it won't be long." …… On the Nanshan volcano, some distance from Changping Village, there are two senior investigators and a group of elite investigators.
The two senior investigators are Ugly Cow Investigator and Reptiles. Most of the elite investigators possess the 'Scorching and Flame' potions.
The main potion used by Investigator Ugly Bull is called 'Mother Earth', and he has been responsible for the recent natural disasters related to geology.
The reptile acts as a support, and if the ugly cow investigator fails to suppress the violent fire outbreak, he will turn into a shadow and constrain the scope of the disaster.
At this moment, the crater was already holding the smoke billowing out, and all the animals around it were hiding in the scorching heat.
The Ugly Cow Investigator is using the earth ability he has mastered to cover this land, and is extending to the interior of the land, and the peaks of this land are all undergoing some changes under the influence of the Ugly Cow Investigator.
Beside it, the reptile raised its head again and looked at the sky that was gradually covered with thick smoke. According to the prophecy, the King of Calamity will come in the early hours of the morning, and in the process of this advention, she shows her great power, so that the Anomaly Bureau can more clearly and concretely understand what a disaster is.
Countless places, in a short period of time, the world has been turned upside down, and now this natural disaster is the result of the efforts of the Bureau of Abnormal Adjustment to prevent and control, but it is still like a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to shake this huge disaster that is almost gradually spreading throughout the world.
