Chapter 215： After the disaster (1/2)
The speed of spreading the red mist has more than doubled, but there is still no way out, and everyone can only retreat and retreat.
Huozhou is 300 kilometers long from east to west and 240 kilometers wide from north to south. To the west is the Kumtag Desert. The desert has a linear distance of 400 kilometers, and the buffer zone is extremely large. To the south is Yangji and Yiwu, to the north is Bayin, to the east is Qingning Province, and it is adjacent to a place called Huagou Town.
The main direction of their retreat was south, walking to Yiwu, and then to Longxi Province. There is no way, Longxi is the corridor from the northwest to the Central Plains.
The mist propelled on all sides, was very irregular, and did not take on a circular shape.
It was walking slowly at a speed of one kilometer per hour, and it spread over 20 kilometers the next day. By the third day, it was exactly 50 kilometers. Coupled with the results of the first day, this area has occupied more than half of the Fire Island.
Where the mist passes, no grass grows, birds and beasts disappear. Even cars, buildings, streets, and so on, can't see the original appearance. Some are eroded and clean, leaving only a gray-white shell.
If before, the vision brought a suffocating sense of oppression. Now, it has become a blunt knife to cut meat, a little bit of pain, a little pain.
The morale of the government is sluggish, as if it is a routine business, and it continues to observe and guard what it cannot guard.
On the fourth day, sunny.
In a run-down town, the old man sat in the command center and ate breakfast seriously. The meal was simple, rice porridge buns, a piece of tofu, and a plate of pickles.
Their food and clothing are all transported outside. Every day, there are big cars to and from Huozhou and neighboring cities.
This small town is on the fringe, there are a few villages in the past, and then cross a river to reach the territory of Yiwu. It can be said that the town has become a symbol in a sense. If it falls, it means that the government has completely failed.
”Ugh……”
The old man sighed and slowly regained his consciousness, only to find that the **** in his hand had been taken for a long time, and it was a bit cold. He was about to eat, so he heard ”Dangdang”.
The assistant pushed open the door, rushed in and rushed in, and his voice was a bit harsh: ”Slow down! Slow down again!”
”What?” He didn't respond for a moment.
”Speed, speed has dropped ...”
The assistant gasped, and said, ”From 8 to 8:30 this morning, the observations show that the fog is now 0.2 meters per second!”
”Whew!”
The old man suddenly stood up, shaking the table and chairs. He paused for a moment, then took a step, and walked around the table twice, and finally patted the back of the chair:
”Okay! Heaven will never end me, heaven will never end Xia Kingdom!”
”Let's go and see!”
As a result, the two hurried out and went directly to the observation point. He took a look at the telescope, and sure enough, the red sky in the distance was no longer as fierce as before, it became a bit sluggish, and the color faded.
”call……”
The old man put his heart down, and that's it!
At the same time, the news spread quickly and everyone cheered:
”It's saved! It's saved!”
”God didn't abandon us!”
”Our job was not wasted ... wow ... wow ...”
A professor was crying on his knees, dysfunctional, and even threw his glasses into the ground.
The Flame Mountain raged for four days, and after it was consumed by the flood, it finally reached the exhaustion period. At this moment, everyone has confidence. If they persist for a few days, they will see the dawn.
...
”puff!”
”boom!”
A cluster of flames flared Lao Gao, with a slight explosion, and quickly connected with the surrounding fire, burning unscrupulously and dying.
This is a large-scale mine, which has been dug into a valley, which is full of shallow coal fields. Large piles of crushed ore and remnants were too late to be removed, and they were piled below, and there were some buildings and vehicles that were scattered all in the flames.
Shallow coal fields are extremely dangerous. Once the temperature is too high, spontaneous combustion is easy to occur. There are many records in the history of Xiqiao. The most violent one was in Bayan, which burned for decades.
At this time, it spontaneously ignited due to the high temperature, and at the same time was eroded by the fire aura, and it formed a very strange state.
Although the flames are soaring and the sky is extremely powerful, in a short time, they have turned into gray and white dead stones without any mineral content.
This process is short-lived, as if it is not coal that is burned, but paper.
”puff!”
”Dora!”
Gu Yan and Xiao Zhai stood on the high ground, their faces flushed with fire. They were burning when they came, and after waiting for half a day, they finally burned out.
His eyes narrowed, the fire subsided, and only a small area was still struggling. The two were too lazy to wait any longer, and jumped as soon as they stood.
”Snapped!”
As soon as the feet landed, they made a crisp crackling sound, and at the same time there was a thick residual heat. The mine completely changed its appearance, except for the bone-like stones in one place, everything disappeared.
These stones seem hard, but they are all empty. Step on them and crunch into powder.
”I can't think of any use for it, it just looks good.”
Gu Min raised a little powder, rubbed it between his fingers, and shook his head.
