March 30th is destined to be a day to be remembered forever.
In the early morning, the sun rises from the eastern horizon, wrapped in a radiant light. This ray of light can't penetrate the dense red cloud, and can only swim around the edge.
This also caused three strange celestial phenomena to appear in the Huoyanshan area at the same time: the golden sun, the red mist, and the half-red and half-blue sky, like a catastrophe on earth.
"Boom!"
Off-road vehicles and trucks roared angrily as they entered and exited the deserted city of Huozhou. The vehicles were loaded with supplies and soldiers, and they were constantly being transferred between regions.
The city government building has become a temporary headquarters, and the old man with black-rimmed glasses, as the deputy leader of the supervision team, personally sits on the front line.
On the stage, a professor was explaining the situation: "The anomaly erupted at about one o'clock in the morning. After the colleagues at several observation stations tried their best to investigate, we collected a lot of data. Let me talk about the nature of this thing first. According to modern Experiments have proved that if the air is dry, people can stay at a room temperature of 120°C for 15 minutes; but in humid air, it only needs 48°C~50°C, and the tolerance of people will be greatly reduced because sweat cannot evaporate. But pay attention , This is the external temperature, and the human body’s tolerance to internal temperature is far inferior. Once the body temperature exceeds 42°C, the function of the central nervous system will be seriously disordered and life-threatening. Therefore, for the human body, a body temperature of 40°C is a warning Wire."
The professor said in a low tone, "Unfortunately, it is not the outside temperature. It can directly invade the body, just like invading those animals and plants, and directly destroy the functions of the human body. In a very short period of time, we will lose water, and then Like a water pump, the flesh and blood will be drained. Its current core area is about 12.5 kilometers away. Within this range, our soldiers with the best physical fitness can't last for ten minutes! And its moving speed, on average, per hour 2.5 kilometers, advancing 0.7 meters per second. So it should arrive at Huozhou City at 9 o'clock tonight!"
The professor breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "There are cities and towns on three sides of the Flame Mountain, and the Kumtag Desert on the other side. The desert is past Wumu City. This desert covers an area of 2,500 square kilometers and is 800 miles long from east to west. It takes 160 hours to pass through it in a straight line. And Huozhou is 240 kilometers wide from north to south, 300 kilometers long from east to west, and has a total area of more than 70,000 square kilometers. If it is all occupied, it will only take a few days! But we can do nothing but accept it passively. We cannot find any material , the only thing that can react with it is aura. But with our current strength, it is impossible to face this behemoth... "
He was talking, but he couldn't continue, and he got off the podium with a sad face.
"..."
The old man looked around, all his colleagues were like this, with unwillingness, anger, helplessness and a trace of bewilderment on his face.
No way, it's too demoralizing! From the establishment of the scientific view of dialectical materialism until now, they have not experienced such a thing.
"Okay! Don't be discouraged, we can do as much as we can. The most important thing right now is to minimize disaster losses."
The old man's voice was trembling, and he began to order: "From now on, the scientific research groups should not be scattered, and focus on the three directions of east, south, and north for concentrated observation. The troops will withdraw their strength and must protect safety. Inform Yiwu, Yangji, and Bayin , Wumu, and Shazhou in Longxi, and Ali in Tangut, get ready to evacuate immediately!"
He mentioned a few names in succession, all of them were cities that were close to Huozhou or adjacent to Xijian Province, then paused, and asked again: "Have Qi Yun's people arrived yet?"
"Arrive in two hours."
"Okay, remind me when the time comes, and I will pick it up myself."
…
Lu Yuanqing was on the plane.
As soon as something happened here, Tianzhushan received the news, and arranged for him to board the plane as quickly as possible.
There is a small airport in Huozhou. Due to the special geographical environment and natural environment, it is mainly responsible for the alternate landing task of flights in Wumu City, and there are no regular flights. It was not until last year that the first fixed route, Huozhou-Yiwu-Jingcheng, was launched.
Before taking off this time, the weather was strictly monitored. Fortunately, Yiwu's direction has not been affected and can pass.
As a Taoist priest practicing in secret, he doesn't have many opportunities to fly, let alone a small special plane. Lu Yuanqing was sitting on the wide and soft sofa, with some drinks and fruits on the table, but he closed his eyes and concentrated, motionless.
To be honest, with this kind of vision level of destroying cities and lands, anyone is insignificant. I brought him here, one is to help predict, and the other is... I have been cultivated with great difficulty, so I have to slip up no matter what.
"Buzz!"
"boom!"
Unknowingly, with the sound of strong airflow brought by the plane's descent, and the vibration of the pulley when it hit the ground, this exclusive flight finally landed.
"Lu Daochang, the Fire Island is here."
"good."
Lu Yuanqing opened his eyes and got off the plane gently with his toga and sleeves. There were already several special cars waiting on the tarmac. When the old man saw it, he shook hands and said directly: "Finally here! The situation is serious now, and I still need your help."
"Follow orders."
He performed a Taoist salute, with a compliant attitude, without any resistance.
"Okay, it really is a Taoist talent!"
The old man was very satisfied with his posture, he beckoned him to get in the car, and drove towards the city at high speed.
Along the way, the professor introduced the general situation. Lu Yuanqing was a little puzzled and asked, "With all due respect, my personal ability is limited. What can I do?"
"One is a test. We have tried it for ordinary people, and they can't enter the core area at all, but you may be different. We need some data. Also, we really hope that you can go up to the Flame Mountain to see what's going on. Can't find any clues."
The professor handed over a stack of materials, and said: "We are building a database of anomalies to classify anomalies according to the degree of harm to ordinary people and monks, the nature of disasters, the scope of impact, etc. Only you can do this, and we will In constant contact."
"Oh, I'll do my best."
Lu Yuanqing didn't care about the tone of the superior to the subordinate. He looked at the information quite seriously and took the time to understand.
Soon, the car drove into the city hall. As soon as the old man entered the hall, he asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"
"It has been advanced another five kilometers, and nothing else has changed!"
"Continue to observe!"
The old man didn't dare to relax, he briefly introduced Lu Yuanqing's identity, and said: "Daoist Lu will go deep into the core area to investigate the situation there. We will..."
"I can enter the mountain immediately." Lu Yuanqing said suddenly.
"..."
The old man was startled for a moment, but then he was a little relieved, and said: "Okay, then I will thank you for your hard work."
Immediately, he didn't even rest for a minute, and followed a few soldiers downstairs. The soldiers drove the car and sent him to the frontline observation station.
There are only a few kilometers away from the core area, and they will be evacuated at any time.
Three trucks stopped at the door, loaded with precious instruments, and the most important supplies now, including water, medicine, cooling fluid, and various energy supplements to quickly replenish lost nutrients.
Without time to say more, the soldiers took some supplies and drove forward again. After only a short walk, I saw a deep cordon line drawn on the ground in front of me, and a flag was planted.
Over there, the red snake soars, devouring the sky and the earth; here, it is trembling, leaving only clarity.
There is a thin line between heaven and hell.
