Looking at the torn notebooks on the ground, Lin San and Lao Tian looked at each other again, both a little stunned.
"Even if it is a conservative estimate... If the worst possibility does not happen, based on the energy that has been released now, the current level of the explosion will spread to an area of about tens of thousands of square kilometers! Haha, it is very interesting, I happened to calculate the population living in the area of about 20,000 square kilometers centered on Mount Fuji, and it has exceeded... "
"How many people will die?" Lao Tian immediately asked the most critical question.
"I don't know." Shi Gaofei spread his hands: "I'm not fucking God! But, at least..."
He looked at the front glass of the car. Although it had been swept by the rain gear just now, it was covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash in just a short period of time.
Shi Gaofei sighed and said solemnly: "At least, the towns at the foot of the mountain cannot escape! Now the roads are blocked. The earthquake will damage the roads and bridges, causing the transportation capacity to drop to the lowest point. Even if it is not the peak tourist season, But the original residents of several towns near the foot of the mountain cannot escape from this area within an hour, at least not to a safe area. As for the specific number of people... don't ask, I don't want to say... "
Lao Tian and Lin Kunlun looked at each other speechless. Although neither of them had a good impression of the Japanese, they must have felt uneasy because they had caused such a huge disaster.
"So, we have no time to waste." Shi Gaofei's face immediately returned to a cold expression: "We have no way to prevent the volcano from erupting. This is obvious, and according to the time I calculated, we still have... thirty-nine minutes! We must escape at least 400 kilometers away within thirty-nine minutes! That way we are barely safe!"
As he spoke, he turned around and picked up the single-person aircraft: "This is something I designed myself. The engine is electric, and it is not air-breathing. It will not be affected by volcanic ash. The current electric power can be used for about two hours. I If used by one person, it is enough to reach a safe area."
He quickly carried the aircraft on his back, fixed the belt, and then looked at Lao Tian and Lin Kunlun: "I am an ordinary person and don't have the ability like you, so I have to escape quickly. As for you..."
Shi Gaofei finally sighed: "I know you will feel uneasy, but I am not God, and neither are you! Don't hesitate or waste time! You can't save anyone. The only thing you can do now is to survive! "
He threw two watches to Lao Tian and Lin Kunlun: "I have set the coordinates for the rendezvous above. I will take the first step. Let's meet at the predetermined coordinates!"
After saying that, Shi Gaofei had already struggled to open the car door and got out.
Outside, a thick layer of volcanic ash has accumulated on the ground, and the streets in the distance are still full of people shouting. Although the magma has not spread to the bottom of the mountain, power lines have been broken in many places due to earthquakes, and there are Fires were burning in many places, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.
There was a lot of noise all around. Shi Gaofei quickly started the aircraft. Amidst the buzzing rotation of the propellers, he flew up amid the "heavy snow" flying in the sky. He waved to Lao Tian and others on the ground, and quickly Heading into the distance.
…
Several ancient architectural attractions on the mountainside of Mount Fuji have been destroyed by the mountain collapse and debris flow caused by the volcanic eruption. Even if some were not washed away by the debris flow, they were destroyed by the magma pouring after the subsequent eruption. Sea of fire.
Large areas of mountain slopes have become areas full of high-temperature hazards, and some places, even if the magma has not yet spread, have been shrouded in volcanic gases and become poisonous gas areas.
The volcanic ash and snow from the sky continued to pour onto the earth, and soon the dense volcanic clouds had spread as if they were boundless. At least in the area at the foot of the mountain, you couldn't see the edge of this thick dark cloud when you looked up. And the terrifying crater on the top of the mountain is still spraying out the fury of hell intermittently...
Japan, this country, has completely fallen into fear!
The eruption of Mount Fuji this time was too sudden. There was not even the slightest sign of a volcanic eruption before the eruption. Disasters without any foreseeability often bring the greatest losses. Immediately after the volcano erupted, the chaos caused by panic caused several towns near the foot of the mountain to fall into a state of disorder.
The earthquake caused by the volcanic eruption destroyed roads and bridges, making it impossible for people inside to get out and rescue workers from outside to get in. The Japanese government's response was already very fast, and troops from the Self-Defense Forces were quickly mobilized to go to the foot of Mount Fuji. to the rescue. Emergency plans were quickly implemented, and a large number of geologists and volcanologists were recruited by the government to conduct the latest situation assessment.
The results of the evaluation made everyone who saw the report look ashen!
Based on geological exploration and analysis of the frequency of seismic movements near Mount Fuji, as well as the energy level of volcanic eruptions and predictions of subsequent activities, the government received desperate news!
The outbreak... is far from over!
"Even with optimistic results... three-quarters of Japan's main island will be shrouded in a volcanic climate in the next six months! A large amount of acidic mud rain will destroy crops, and clouds filled with volcanic ash will block the sun. , causing the temperature to drop sharply, we will enter winter early! At the same time, we will also face a series of problems such as food shortages. And the geological disasters caused by the earthquake... It is not yet possible to assess... "
Just when this preliminary assessment report was handed over to the Japanese government cabinet, Mount Fuji once again had a new round of eruptions. This volcano, which had been silent for centuries, seemed to want to use up all the energy accumulated during these long years. All burst out.
The latest outbreak triggered a new round of earthquakes. The magnitude of the strongest earthquake was felt as far away as Kyushu Island. In Tokyo, the largest city in Japan, even Tokyo Tower had obvious earthquakes. Shaking, such a scene triggered panic among the people.
A large number of citizens began to desperately buy food, drinking water and other daily necessities, triggering a new round of unrest. In some places, thugs even appeared who smashed, smashed and looted. Some cities represented by Tokyo began to experience public security chaos. A large number of people Violent crimes have occurred, and the bad nature of human beings has been exposed in this panic disaster. Robbery, rape, and murder have caused many people to take the opportunity to unscrupulously vent the darkness in their hearts.
The police were no longer able to maintain local order (Japan does not have a national police organization, and the police are local organizations). As a last resort, a large number of self-defense forces began to rush to various places to maintain order. However, the road blockage caused by the earthquake made transportation slow, even if the air force increased its Air transportation cannot immediately change this situation.
According to predictions, it will take at least forty-eight hours before all troops can be stationed in designated areas to maintain order. Before that, many areas have already fallen into anarchy and chaos, and the damage caused cannot be assessed!
In Tokyo, Shinjuku was the first to fall into riots. Stores in entire streets were smashed open and robbed by masked thugs. After the robbery, they were set on fire to cover up the traces. There were even burned cars on the streets and the bodies of murdered people.
"This is simply a year of disaster! I even doubt that Amaterasu has abandoned Japan? From the previous shipwreck of the Victoria, to the terrorist attack on the royal palace, the royal family members were hijacked and injured, and then Navy warships were attacked at sea, the Sasebo naval port was attacked, and the West Coast fleet suffered heavy losses. Then Mount Kailash erupted, triggering a large-scale disaster... People fell into deep panic and despair. This country turned out to be so fragile! We don't know how to stop what's happening and how to save ourselves. This sense of powerlessness is the fundamental reason that completely destroys people's confidence. Because in the face of everything that seems to be fate - if it's just a chance, we might be able to Face it bravely, but what if it is fate? All of this happens one by one, and it really seems to be fate. And people cannot compete with fate."
- This passage was recorded in the diary written quietly by a Japanese government official, which was later included in his personal memoirs.
…
The thick smoke that towers over the top of Mount Fuji, the terrifying plume of smoke that shoots thousands of meters into the air, can be clearly seen even from a hundred kilometers away.
The smoke lingered for days.
This kind of eruption lasted intermittently for six days. The eruption was the strongest on the first day. In the next three days, the intensity of the eruption became weaker, but it was accompanied by frequent small-scale earthquakes. This was caused by volcanic eruptions. Caused by geological movements and changes in the earth's crust.
The people did not understand this. At this time, the dozens of kilometers under Mount Fuji had become an area of death-like silence. A large amount of thick smoke and volcanic gas enveloped the area, and magma swallowed everything. The explosion of mud rain poured on the uncooled magma on the ground, causing a large amount of thick fog.
Fortunately, the volcano seemed to have fallen into silence, which gave many people a little peace of mind. But unlike most people, those volcanic geology experts have fallen into greater tension and panic. Only these people know that this outbreak is far from over.
Sure enough, after three consecutive days of frequent small-scale earthquakes - these frequent small-scale earthquakes are just brewing a new round of bursts of energy. On the fourth day, the torch at Fuji Pass once again spurted out its fury. The scale of the spray this time is not at all inferior to that of the first day!
A new round of flames was shot directly thousands of meters into the sky with powerful energy, once again dyeing the sky the color of fireworks.
To make matters worse, the seasonal monsoon failed to blow away the volcanic clouds. The volcanic clouds in the sky began to move. Two days later, the area covered by the volcanic clouds reached the sky above Tokyo!
As a result, the international metropolis of Tokyo began to rain mud for three consecutive days. A large amount of mud and volcanic ash fell with the rain, almost turning the entire Tokyo into black and gray...
All this is like the end of the world.
