Chapter 44 Chiyan Volcanic Collapse
On April 22, 2015, the Chiyan Volcano melted down in Japan.
Melting - this is a new term. This term describes the current situation of the Chiyan volcanic group. The boiling magma did not erupt, but gathered under the crater to form a pool of extremely high temperature liquid. The heat of the magma melted the higher surface, and the soil layer collapsed and fell into the magma. The fiery red and boiling liquid exposed to the surface, turning into a huge fire pool that stretched for hundreds of meters.
This situation seems to be more terrifying than a volcanic eruption. Because the toxic gas rising from the magma has not dissipated for more than ten days and is becoming increasingly intense. The Guangdai wilderness in early spring was originally green and lush, but now it has become a dead place. The new buds of the trees are covered with thick gray-white volcanic ash, which looks like the snow and frost of winter condensed into trees. However, spring here will not come again, and in fact, most trees have begun to die.
This vision attracted the attention of the local government, but they seemed powerless to be in such an unheard-of-a-lifetime strange situation opposite. There was no equipment to extinguish such a magma lake that stretched for hundreds of meters, unless they had the awareness to cool down all the lava under the continental plates.
The temperature on the surface is getting higher and higher, and the trees near the magma lake become dry and there is a risk of fires igniting at any time. All people can do is to cut down an isolation zone outside the influence of the magma lake, and artificial rainfall to the forest area inside to reduce the surface temperature.
But this is just a stopgap measure - the heat comes from below the earth. They radiate to the surroundings through the earth, and the precipitation on the ground is quickly evaporated.
This matter was not concealed from the public at the beginning, so the entire Japan turned its attention to Hiroshi. In these eyes, of course there were some departments with particularly keen feelings.
For example, the Inspectorate Hall.
Like the Special Affairs Office, the Office of Inspection is a competent authority in Japan.
This institution received news from China two months ago that the third type will recover in the scorching hell. China's attitude is quite serious and the situation seems to be quite serious. Therefore, the first thing that the inspection department thinks of is Mount Fuji.
Because it was a coincidence.
In April 2013, people discovered a crack about 300 meters long and 10 meters wide on Mount Fuji. In the next two years, the crack located in the middle of the mountain continued to expand and would intermittently gush outwards.
This phenomenon has made the nearby residents quite uneasy - although Mount Fuji is a dormant volcano, it does not mean that it will not erupt. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Transport invited some experts to study this phenomenon, but the conclusions drawn are not convincing. After all, this land hides too many secrets, and the power of human beings is not enough to fully reveal them.
So the inspection hall naturally turned its attention here.
Chiyou is a figure in ancient Chinese myths and legends, and Mount Fuji has several mysterious veils in Japan. Because of this confirmation, they first organized a team of people to investigate the surrounding area of Mount Fuji. But the result was not optimistic - traces of the existence of those who do not have the ability. The Inspectorate Office could not use wide-area scanning instruments around Mount Fuji, so they sent robots to penetrate deep into the interior along the cracks of the mountain to conduct exploration with airborne detectors.
But after twenty-three days of homework, they still found nothing.
According to Chinese news, the third type should be in a semi-awakened state, so its ability field should be very strong. If it is hiding in Mount Fuji, there is no reason for the detection instrument to ignore it.
This means Mount Fuji is excluded.
Their second target was Kaikawa-cho in Izumo City. Because in ancient Japanese myths and legends, the Yakio Orochi was killed here. This legendary creature actually represents water damage, but the Japanese's unique serious attitude made them unwilling to let go of any possibility, so they spent nineteen days here.
Still nothing was found.
Then the Chiyan volcano group melted down.
This abnormal scene that cannot be explained by any geological theory is like a beacon in the dark night to remind the people in the inspection hall - this is the goal we have been looking for, here... it is that flame hell!
However, when the news reached Li Zhen's ears, he frowned slightly.
Things seem to come too easily.
But just as he frowned, the area around Chiyan had been tightly blocked. A team composed of agents from the Inspection Office went deep into the fields around Guangdian, trying to confirm some information with anticipation and fear.
In fact, they didn't have to go deep into such a forest area where forest fires could be ignited at any time, but the airspace near the Chiyan Lava Lake is no longer suitable for aircraft flight. The range of movement of self-propelled robots is limited, and the detection range of small detectors is even more limited, so they have to send people to approach the lake of death as much as possible and then conduct on-site exploration.
At present, the feet beside Watanabe's suit are stepping on this hot land. It is not a description of how hot it is. The number on the screen of the three-proof suit mask has jumped to 42-42 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature about one meter from the surface.
The three hills far away here are still hundreds of meters away. The sky is covered with thick smoke. The trees around them withered and died. The branches and leaves are covered with thick dust. They sway slightly because of their touch, sprinkling the volcanic ash, revealing the true color of yellow-brown.
The sunlight is dim due to the dust and dust. It is clearly nine o'clock in the morning, but the surrounding environment is like sunset and dusk. The air is filled with tiny dust like snowflakes, filled with all kinds of harmful gases that can kill people at any time. Once you are in such a space, you will feel in a trance that you seem to have traveled through time and space and come to the battlefield of the end of the world.
Watanabe Fun experiences this feeling—because the lava lake behind the hill ahead is building momentum for this doomsday scene. The fiery red light reflects the thick clouds above, and a large sky seems to be burning, rolling over people's heads. Mars and ash are flying out of the thick clouds like flames, scattering towards the vast space around them, as if-
In a magic novel, a magician released the forbidden spell.
Indeed, forbidden spell.
If this was not a natural phenomenon, but was really a vision caused by something non-human creature - how terrible would it be?
"I, Watanabe, do we still have to move forward?" A question came from the communication channel of the three defense suit. The voice pulled back Watanabe's thoughts. He raised his eyes and looked at the distant mountains - the gray-white forests and thick smoke and dust were separated by the team and the hills, and there was a higher temperature.
"Is there any reaction?" he asked.
“Not yet.”
"How far is the detector to cover the entire lake?"
"You have to... go two hundred meters forward." The other party hesitated.
Walking forward two hundred meters - you have to reach the top of the hill. However, according to the current temperature growth trend, this means that they must stand in a high temperature environment of more than 80 degrees Celsius to carry out their operations, and risk being trapped in the sea of fire.
Mars is falling from the thick clouds, and the trees on the hills ahead have dried up and fallen, only a little spark of stars... just a little bit, this entire forest will be ignited and they will have no way to escape.
Watanabe's servant stopped at the foot. The team members behind him also stopped.
The sky is burning...
The front... is burning...
He wiped the ash from his mask with his hands, glanced at the team members, and was silent for a while, and said, "Stay on the spot."
Amid the gray-black and orange-red background, his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief. They wiped off the volcanic ash from their masks like the side of Watanabe's ward and asked, "Iron Guard, what should we do next?"
"You stay here." Watanabe Furu turned around and looked at the low hill in the distance, "I'll walk over."
"How can this be done!"
"Prince 1, please think carefully!"
"We're going together too!"
“…”
The communication channel was suddenly in chaos. Everyone has their own thoughts, but everyone is telling him that he must not act rashly.
Watanabe Fuman habitually raised his hand, pressed down, and said in a deep voice: "This is an order. Everyone knows that there is a dangerous place ahead. Everyone follows me, and they may not be able to come back. But it doesn't require any professional skills to operate the self-propelled robot. Everyone in this team can handle it."
"My order is that you are on standby and I walk over alone. If things go well, then our mission can be completed successfully. If something happens - then I need you to accept me. If possible, a second person will take over my mission and complete it. This has nothing to do with sacrifice, everything is for the goal of our trip - have you understood?"
Quiet in the communication channel - no one spoke.
So Watanabe shouted again: "Do you understand?"
A low voice came from his ear: "Yes."
He breathed a sigh of relief and took the suitcase from a team member next to him. The box was filled with a spider-shaped self-propelled robot. As long as he walked to the hill, he entered the password to open the box... he didn't need to worry about anything after that.
He took a step forward, stepping on the hot ground and crisp fallen leaves alone. The numbers on the mask monitor kept climbing, quickly crossing the green line, turning into a yellow that represents "dangerous". The sound of the sound was annoying. Watanabe blinked three times quickly and set the sound to silence.
So in the following time, the beating numbers changed from light yellow to orange, and from orange to bright red that represents "extremely dangerous". The life-saving system of the three-defense server may collapse at any time.
But he climbed to the top of the mountain step by step in the high temperature and finally saw the scene in front of him.
Then he was deeply shocked by what he saw and felt, unable to control himself and stunned.
The gods of Gaotianyuan are above...
What exactly is this?
