Chapter Seventy-Seven: Eating and Drinking
A temporary refuge camp set up by TPC's ground rescue department,
Noisy early morning,
The loudspeaker kept repeating "Evacuate... Safe and orderly... Transfer...", which calmed the panic in the hearts of the people a little.
"It's going to pass soon."
"Don't cry, don't cry, let's get food..."
"Come on, come on, you go open that..."
last night
All the indigenous people and travelers from all over the world come here on holiday to comfort each other in panic and spend the night in a makeshift camp.
According to TPC's current statistics, hundreds of people have been confirmed dead and more than 600 are missing last night.
A female reporter rushed to the scene and reported the situation on the television: "This is a temporary shelter at the foot of Mount Kirumun volcano. ”
"It's been hours since the midnight eruption, and I think there must have been a lot of people who couldn't sleep last night because of insecurity and fear..."
It's breakfast time,
In the makeshift relief tents, frightened displaced people lined up with dishes and chopsticks to serve steaming meals, and large quantities of mineral water, instant noodles and other supplies were piled up next to them.
Of course
Most of them were so uncomfortable that they couldn't take a bite to eat, and they sat on the ground in fear, discussing the horrors of last night.
Some of the children who were supposed to go to school happily were squatting on the ground crying, some were clamoring to go home, and some were staring at the place where the food was distributed.
…

noisy camp,
"Auntie, fight a little more..."
A little Lori with pink carving and snow-haired silver eyes stood in front of a stall about the same height as her, holding an oversized tin box rice bowl in her hand, and looked at the aunt who was cooking for her.
Wen Yan,
The corner of the aunt's mouth twitched, she wanted to say no, but looking at the cute little girl who seemed to have come out of the second dimension in front of her, with silky white hair hanging down her waist and pink carving, she really didn't want to refuse...
"For the last time, don't come later, there are still a lot of people who haven't eaten in the back..."Looking at the big eyes, Aunt Spoon helplessly filled a bowl of food for the white-haired little Lori.
This is the fifth time, and she saw the white-haired little Lori in front of her perform a wave of what she called - Lori Big Stomach.
After eating the last box of food, he left the dining area with regret.
This time, there was really no way, the food in the ability lock was all eaten, and she was barely full, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the volcano disaster relief area to 'grab' food from those victims.
"Haven't you eaten enough, this is for you..."
A cute little girl in a pink and red suit walked up to the phoenix and handed over a large meat bun.
In this regard,
The Stygian was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself." ”
"But your stomach was still growling," the little girl said innocently, tilting her head, apparently considering the Stygian Phoenix, who was about as tall as herself, as a companion.
The phoenix sighed in his heart, took the bun and nibbled on it.
"What about your parents, why are you alone, it's a mess here." Stygian asked.
The little girl shook her head and said, "My name is Haruna, my father and mother have been sent to the temporary hospital, and I will come out to bring them food." ”
Hearing this, the Stygian Phoenix was slightly stunned, and touched her little head with a smile.
"What a good boy."
"What, you're as old as me, why are you pretending to be an adult..."Touched by her 'peers', the little girl pouted dissatisfiedly.
Then he took out a meat bun from the bag and handed it to the phoenix, and the little girl left with a full bag.
Looking at her back as she left, the phoenix smiled heartily and continued to nibble on the meat buns.
At this time, the refuge camp, although it was temporarily built, was still complete, and she planned to stay here for a few more days, eat and drink together, and when she was almost recovered, she would go back to secretly find Megumi in the middle.
I don't know if my identity has been exposed, but in short, it is safer to wait here for my strength to recover.

TPC Headquarters,
A high-level meeting has already been held on this issue.
In the quiet and depressing conference room, a professional in a white coat was the first to speak:
"Actually, extinct volcanoes erupt not unusually... The problem is that the flow of underground magma this time is very abnormal! ”
"Abnormal flow of magma?"
Megumi said with a slight frown.
"Look at this..."
Scientists in white play a video on the home screen, which is a 3D image simulating the eruption of an extinct volcano.
"Under the extinct volcanoes, the magma seems to be attracted by something, and it all flows towards the center, and if it continues to be left unchecked, a large amount of magma will accumulate and erupt at once!"
The white-clothed scientist described the seriousness of the matter with a serious face.
The eruption of an extinct volcano is indeed not unusual, but what is worrying is that the eruption of Mount Wumen is far more than that, its geographical location is very special, once it is not handled well, it will bring a series of chain reactions, such as tsunamis, earthquakes, such natural disasters are unstoppable.
And
The most worrying thing is the volcanic ash caused by the volcanic eruption!
Volcanic ash is different from ordinary soot, it is hard, insoluble in water, this thing is very difficult to handle, very harmful to the human body, when inhaled by humans or animals, particulate matter will penetrate deep into the lungs, even to the bronchioles and alveoli.
It is equivalent to the lungs being filled with rocks, and once they are solidified, they will die, and the death process is very painful, even if you are lucky enough to not die, inhalable particulate matter will accumulate in the respiratory system after being inhaled, causing many diseases.
Due to its geographical location, Mt. Kirumon is very special in Asia, and once its volcanic mountains completely erupt, the volcanic ash that is thrown into the air will be carried by the wind.
It will even cross the sea to reach Eurasia!
If the huge volcanic ash were to drift into the city, it can be expected that the incidence of respiratory diseases in many regions will increase significantly, and there will also be a series of cascading disasters such as air pollution and acid rain.
…
"Is there any plan to stop the flow of magma?" Director Sawai asked
In this regard,
Reiko Kashiwamura, who was in charge of weapons research, immediately spoke: "Pipa Tank, drill into the ground and use the newly developed frozen light to cool the magma and stop the magma from continuing to flow towards the center..."
"Pippa?"
Tetsuji Yoshioka asked.
"Yes, it's a drill tank used to survey the underground," Reiko Kashiwamura began.
Director Sawai nodded, and then said to Megumi Kuruma, "Then, this matter will be the sole responsibility of the victory team." ”
At the same time, in order to prevent the appearance of monsters,
TPC mobilized a large number of armed forces for this purpose, such as infrared mines, heavy mechanical armored tanks, large-caliber particle cannons, and Feiyan series fighters, all of which went to the front line.
