Ji Aojian stood at the bottom of the fault in the valley, stepping on the thick granite under his feet, and felt bursts of hot gas rushing up.

For the past month, he has been traveling northward, and although the latitude is getting higher and higher, and the season is also moving towards winter, his feet are getting hotter and hotter.

In the current valley, surrounded by huge striped mountains, the temperature has risen sharply again, to the point of "scorching", and the surface vegetation that has been shrinking along the way has all but disappeared.

I can't even feel the rain on my face anymore.

The clouds in the sky were so dense that they were black, as heavy as lead. Even at noon, the visibility is at best as twilight.

Behind the long mountain range in the distance, large expanses of black smoke could be vaguely seen rising endlessly, thickening the lead cloud that enveloped the entire sky.

The clouds in the sky were still raining, and the amount of water was even larger, but before it hit the ground, it was evaporated.

Ji Aojian felt a heavy feeling of suffocation, and it seemed that it was very difficult to breathe.

"Brother, is this the source of the disaster?"

Watching along the way, he immediately saw a faint green in the dark world, and his heart immediately regained a little activity.

"yes, this is it. ”

"I walked a long way that day, and then I couldn't find my brother. The girl in green approached slowly, "Then I felt that there was a place in the north that was very abnormal, so I kept rushing there, thinking that I would finally meet my brother." ”

"That's what I thought too, so we're here to meet. ”

Ji Qingsu nodded. Looking at the smoke in the distance, "Is this a volcanic eruption?"

"That's right, in front of you. It is the largest supervolcano in the world. ”

"Can it really destroy the world?"

"When the volcano fully erupts, the outflow of lava will cover the North American continent, followed by an endless stream of ash entering the atmosphere, causing global cold temperatures and long rainy seasons. Ji Aojian pointed to the top of his head, "At that time, no matter where you are on the earth, the sky will be the same as it is now." ”

"In that case, you really won't be able to survive. ”

"That's true. ”

Ji Qingsu was silent for a while. Said slowly, "Brother, I feel that human beings are really fragile now. ”

"In the billions of years of Earth's history. There have been several mass extinctions, and the history of human civilization is only a few thousand years. ”

Ji Aojian felt breathless again, and said with a forced smile, "I used to see all kinds of nonsense doomsday prophecies in the street tabloids. I still despise those who believe in it. I didn't think it was actually me who was short-sighted. The real end of the world could come at any time. ”

Ji Qingsu sighed faintly and asked, "Brother, how can we stop the volcano from erupting?"

"I can't help it. ”

"No way?" the sister asked curiously, "Didn't you go out to solve this problem?"

"I'm not much better than you right now, and if I had the means, you wouldn't know it. Ji Aojian asked rhetorically. "Xiao Su, do you have a solution to the volcanic eruption?"

Ji Qingsu hesitated. Shaking his head, "I don't have the ability to do this." ”

"So, saving the world is not something we can do. Ji Aojian sighed, "We can only sense the root of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation and rush to the scene." ”

"Then who is ......" Ji Qingsu suddenly realized, "I understand, this has to be the presence of the fourth sister to solve the problem." ”

"That's right, even we can see the crisis, how could she ignore a global catastrophe?"

Ji Qingsu looked at the smoke in the distance again, "Is the fourth sister here?"

"I don't know, maybe I've entered the eruption zone. ”

"Then let's hurry over and help the fourth sister. ”

"Wait a minute. Ji Aojian said, "There are a few friends here, I will go in without taking a look, I am afraid that there will be some trouble." ”

Ji Qingsu frowned, "Who else would come to such a dangerous place?"

"It's because of the danger here, on the ground in North America, people who can sense it, I'm afraid they've all arrived. ”

"Why are they coming, can they solve the crisis?"

"Human beings have one thing in common, that is, they like to watch the excitement. ”

Ji Aojian explained, "Xiao Su, think about it, the earth is facing an apocalyptic crisis, and those who don't know anything are just that. Anyone who can sense the source of the disaster, who can bear not to come to the scene and pay attention to the evolution of the disaster situation? Even if they cannot solve the problem of destruction, even if they can only wait for death, they are much better than those who are ignorant and ignorant at home. ”

Ji Qingsu nodded suddenly, "What my brother said is indeed very reasonable." ”

"Let's go see them. ”

"Okay. Ji Qingsu stretched out his hands, "Give it to me." ”

"What do you want?"

"You know. ”

"Oh, I'll just carry these two boxes. ”

"You've been mentioning it for a month!"

"So, I'm very comfortable carrying it. ”

Ji Aojian had already walked forward, "Xiao Su, let's go meet an old friend first." ”

Ji Qingsu asked suspiciously, "Will there be our old friends here?"

"Yes, yes, you can see it right away. ”

The two walked for a while, and a person in black clothes, black hat and black cloak appeared in Ji Qingsu's field of vision, standing on the ground like a statue.

Then I heard my brother greet him warmly in Spanish, "Mr. Diego, how are you doing lately?"

This is really an "old friend"......

The black mask of the legendary California Rogue turned around and nodded slightly, "You are here." ”

Then he looked behind him, and showed a puzzled look, "In such a dangerous place, why did you bring your sister here?"

Ji Aojian smiled, "Why can't my sister come?"

After Ji Qingsu approached, Diego looked at her carefully for a while, and sighed heavily, "The little girl is making such a fast progress, she can really come here." ”

"That's it. Ji Aojian became proud, "My sister is a genius, she was a famous doctor at the age of eight, and she became a psychic at the age of fourteen. ”

Diago glanced at Xiao Su again and shook his head, "She was inferior to you two years ago, and she is still inferior to you now." ”

"Hey, she's always been better than me, and it's not the norm in the past two years......"

Ji Qingsu pulled his sleeve behind him and said in a low voice, "Brother, why are you so immodest to praise your sister so much in front of others." ”

"You forget? It's a cultural difference. Be humble to your own family, that is the rule in China, in front of foreigners, you have to boast about yourself and your family, and people will think that you are real. ”

"Oh. Ji Qingsu nodded and said to Diego, "My brother is much better than me, this is the new normal." ”

"I know. ”

Ji Aojian continued to talk, "Mr. Diego, how long have you been watching the scene here, and it seems that you are not very worried?"

"The liberators have gone in. ”

Ji Aojian's body shook slightly, "That's it, no wonder you're not in a hurry." ”

"There seems to be another person who went in too. ”

Ji Qingsu couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say it seems?"

Suddenly, I heard my brother cough, and his mind turned around, and his eyes showed joy.

"It's useless for the other person to go in, as long as it doesn't cause trouble. ”

This sentence is no longer Spanish, but English with a typical American accent, Ji Qingsu's heart sank, only to find that two tall white men had come closer.

Both are in military uniforms. The man on the left has a thin face, a grim look in his eyes, and a spear behind his back. The man on the right looks more like a gentleman, with a sword hanging from his waist.

The soldier with the gun on his back continued, "Mr. Diego, won't you tell us about these two Indian friends?"

Ji Qingsu asked his brother, "How did we get treated as Indians?"

"The appearance is very similar, and the style of clothing is also an alien style in their eyes. Ji Aojian replied, "We have always said that the Indians are of the same origin as us. Now they are treated as Indians, which shows that the propaganda is very effective. ”

Diego thought for a moment and said, "This young lady is our governor of California, and as for this gentleman...... It's her brother. ”

He lowered his voice and asked Ji Aojian, "Do you not have an official position in California?" ”

Ji Aojian replied solemnly, "No." ”

The thin soldier looked at Ji Aojian, who was holding a box in both hands, and said to his companions, "Why are these two Indians the younger sister the governor, but the elder brother has no status?"

The gentlemanly soldier thought for a moment, "Among the Indians, there is a tribe called the Iroquois, which belongs to a matrilineal clan society, and all women hold important positions such as patriarchs. Imagine they're Iroquois. ”

"That's a lot of knowledge. Ji Aojian sighed, "This gentleman, when you say that, I think you are so knowledgeable." (To be continued......)
