Chapter 47—Distress (2)
In just ten minutes, all the people were roused and violently gathered in the open space in the center of the camp.
"This is only five o'clock, how come up like this..." Qin Qiu was slid out of the tent by his assistant, and his hair was squirming on his head like a chicken coop. He complained while yawning, but when his sight fell on a volcano not far away, all his complaints were swallowed.
"I am not awake in the trough?!!!" He exclaimed, but the rest of the audience did not answer him.
Just like cold water into the pan, the fear that cannot be suppressed spreads among the crowd.
China has a vast territory and complex landforms. However, there are only a few volcanoes, most of which are in the northeast and southern Tibet. And since the founding of the country, these volcanoes have hardly awakened! For the Chinese, the geological disaster of
volcanic eruption
only exists in international news. They can only imagine the horrible scene after the eruption of the volcano according to the scenes in the disaster movie.
Now, they are standing on the mountainside of an active volcano, and soon after, the volcano will erupt!
"This is the responsibility of your program group! Why did you choose such a dangerous place!!!" Wei Jing was ruined and rushed. He has just been a father, his daughter has not learned to walk, is he going to leave her forever?
Not only are the artists anxious, but the staff are also in a mess. It’s especially hard to shoot with the group. If it’s not for the poor overtime pay, who would like to run the jungle adventure?
On the left and on the right, everyone is pushing each other, I don’t know who to talk to.
Just as the dragons had no heads, a loud bang broke out in the camp center, and everyone in the camp was caught.
The air is solidified and the birds are silent.
I saw that in the encirclement of the crowd, Su Ji held a geological hammer and stood in the same place. At her feet, it was a mass of stones that had been hammered into pieces. Presumably she just used this method to attract everyone's attention.
"Give me shut up!" The girl's delicate face was tight, and a pair of scorpions were scary. Her gaze passed over the face of more than 30 faces in front of her, with a magical power in the hot line of sight, crushing the fears, timidity, and panic that came out of the head one by one. "I will say it again if I have the following questions. I am not allowed to ask questions!"
She is full of gas, she is an experienced geologist, although geological disasters are not her area of ​​specialization, but her knowledge reserves are definitely more than some people in the venue.
Su Ji knew that she must not panic - now, she is the backbone of the heart, if she is panicked, who else can safely take this group of people away from the danger zone?
Her voice is loud: "The volcanic eruption is like an earthquake. There is no scientific means to predict 100%. When we went up the mountain yesterday, it was still white smoke. Who would know that it broke out today?! The program group did not know, Indigenous people don’t know, the local government won’t know! We can find signs of volcanic eruptions a few hours in advance, and it’s already blessed. Would you have to waste this hard-won few hours on each other’s accusations? ?!"
Her words were screaming, like a few loud slaps, and they were heavily fanned on everyone's face.
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, I feel a little bit guilty. In the program group, two-thirds of the people are older than Su Shi, but at such a critical moment, they actually need a little girl to preside over the situation.
Su Ji did not pay attention to the expression of the people's words and continued, and continued: "Everyone immediately goes back to the tent to pack things! Wear long-sleeved trousers with masks, communication equipment, medicines, dry food and drinking water! If you have a self-defense knife, Don't bring anything else! Let's escape now, not move!"
She looked down at the watch: "After ten minutes, we will go down the mountain, and the volcano may break out at any time." Then she estimated the distance to the top of the mountain and looked at the meadow at the foot. "We can't delay any more, at least To the plains three kilometers away from the volcano!"
With a single order, all the people made birds and beasts, quickly rushed back to their tents, took out the power of buying discounted new year goods in the supermarket, and desperately filled the backpack with the necessary items.
No one questioned why Su Shi would become a "leader" - even the oldest and most experienced director of life, she was also smashed into the neck of her neck, only knowing to bury her head.
The local tour guide next to him wanted to escape. He was suddenly pressed down by Su Ji, and he said that he had done a lot of good things and finally let him agree to lead them.
Fortunately, this time it was just a small volcano that was inconspicuous. The range of volcanic ash and volcanic debris flows is limited, as long as they can hurry and escape, there will be no life.
But the biggest problem is that the vegetation here is dense and the terrain is complex. They climbed from the sun to the sunset yesterday and arrived here... Can they really retreat to the foot of the mountain before the volcano erupts?

"Mu Zong, Mu Zong! Wake up!!"
A fierce slamming of the door broke the tranquility of the seaside resort. The high secretary hoarse and slammed the door again and again. He had a spare room card in his hand. However, Mu Hulun had the habit of locking the door before going to bed. The high secretary had made several strokes and could not enter the door.
The two black bodyguards behind him immediately took him away, and he opened the door and opened the door. At the crucial moment, the door opened from the inside, and after the door was sewn, Muhuren’s face was depressed.
He had been working until the early hours of the morning, and he only slept at four o'clock. He didn't expect to just blink for a while and was awakened by the scream of Gaoling.
"Gaol, isn't the plane ten o'clock in the morning?" He was so upset that the lack of headaches caused his sleep to reach the peak.
He had only planned to stay in Indonesia for three days, and he thought that the local governor was far more appetizing than he had imagined. The other party not only asks for real money, but also wants to dye his nickel mine, with the intention of getting shares! Mu Hulun naturally did not let his own industry, even the Mu family could not intervene, let alone give hands to outsiders? ... After a delay, he stayed in Sulawesi for five days. He finally settled the greedy governor at the banquet last night, so he arranged a special plane and returned to China this morning.
"No...Mu Zong, now the plane can't take off!" Often the hippie smiles don't have a formal high secretary, and his face becomes pale. "We are going to move inland now - the tsunami is coming!"
"what?"
Mu Hulun’s pupils shrank and the sleepiness just disappeared invisibly.
He squatted out the window - the resort was standing on the coast, with beautiful scenery, and he was the most expensive of the suites, the highest of the highest, with a clear view of the coastline hundreds of meters away.
Now, it is clear that when the tide is high, the coastline is retreating to a kilometer away from the common sense. The shore is full of stranded dead fish pushed up by the tides. The Shanghai birds fly in a chaotic manner. Prelude!
It’s still early in the morning, but the beach is already crowded with crowds of people, who are facing the ocean and fleeing wildly. This is a natural disaster! Natural disaster! When the tsunami struck, "the person will win the day" is just a lie to comfort himself.
There are cars driving, motorcycles and motorcycles... But more tourists can only rely on their own feet and run while crying. Obviously it’s a vacation trip. Who can think of a tsunami that will scream and smash their vacation? In 2004, a tsunami in Indonesia's Sumatra Island killed 220,000 people. Is the disaster going to repeat itself today?
The high secretary speed is extremely fast: "The volcanic eruption caused by the seabed triggered the tsunami. The tsunami warning was issued ten minutes before the official. The tsunami will rush to the coast after forty minutes, and the dangerous area is within five kilometers of the coastline. Let's Go straight to the mountain!
The car has been parked downstairs, although it can all set off.
"Forty minutes?... Enough." Mu Hulun squinted his eyes and looked at the tourists and residents who fled downstairs. "Call the captains of the team and let them drive the bus to help evacuate the tourists."
"what?!!"
In order to facilitate mining and transportation, laterite nickel ore is generally located in the mountainous area of ​​about 20 kilometers along the coastline, and the nickel mine of Muhurun ​​is no exception. His mine was very large and employed a lot of workers. A few days ago, he had just purchased 20 buses as a shuttle bus for the mining workers. It was only because the licenses took time, so the buses were temporarily parked at the parking lot on the shore.
Each bus carries fifty people, but when this kind of life is shut, one hundred people can definitely squeeze! The eight-wheeled bus is always faster than the two-legged man. Twenty cars are thousands of lives. He is not a cold-blooded machine. How can he watch these fresh lives disappear before his eyes, especially when he has the ability to save them?
The high secretary shook his head again and again: "Impossible, this is impossible! Mu, even if you want to save people, you must think about the actual situation! This is a tsunami, the driver of the team must have run out, who will drive because of a phone call. Come back to save people?"
"My phone is not calling people, then my money?" Mu Hulun looked awkward. "If it is willing to save people, a driver will reward 100,000 US dollars. If it is because of my reasons, I will add another 500,000." ""
The local GDP per capita is extremely low. Even if it is a white-collar worker with higher education, the monthly salary is only five or six hundred dollars. For the local residents, 100,000 dollars, a family of five can not earn a lifetime!
Under the reward, there must be a brave man. Ten minutes later, the new and neat bus stopped at the coast, twenty cars, a lot! The bus door was wide open, and the swarming tourists quickly exploded the car.
Under their leadership, there are actually many private cars that have stopped and actively assisted tourists! The local popular pickup truck is convenient for transportation. I saw a dozen people in the back bucket of a pickup truck. Just a few minutes ago, these people’s expressions were still gray. They thought they were going to die here, but now they have the hope of
life
on their faces!
"--set off."
In the off-road vehicle, Mu Hulun looked back at the mighty team behind him and pressed the call button of the walkie-talkie.
The team started, they turned their backs to the tide of the shore, and they drove to the inland mountains.
※
"Keep it up again!"
Seeing that the small planning legs of the team were going to be soft, Su Ji’s eyes quickly caught her arm.
From the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, they don’t know how much they have fallen. There are almost no roads under the foot, which were all stepped out by the tourists and the beasts in the forest. When they went up the mountain, they suffered hard. A steep of 30 meters would climb for more than an hour. However, when they went down, they couldn’t take care of the fear in their hearts and simply slipped directly from the top of the slope.
There was a slight bruise on the hands and face, and there was no time to clean up. Behind him is the volcano that is about to erupt. Who has the mind to manage the little scratches?
Su Jishi and the tour guide walked in the forefront of the team. When she encountered any danger, she went up first; when she encountered any difficulties, she passed first; she was like a beacon in the waves, just looking at her back. I feel more at ease in my heart.
Suddenly, the mountain under the foot suddenly vibrates. This wave of vibration is not intense, just like a plunge on a soft bed, and it flicks a little - it is an earthquake!
The nerves of all people were immediately tightened, and they turned back and looked at each other. Only on the high crater, more and more gray smoke appeared, and the flames that burst out were getting bigger and bigger. Under the cone-shaped mountain, it seems to hide a gas-filled balloon. It seems that it is expanding and growing, and the skin is broken. The earthquake just like the tip of the balloon's skin is broken.
- "Hey!"
I only heard a muffled sound, and there was a shock at my feet. I saw that the crater suddenly appeared black smoke!
The black smoke instantly soared over a hundred meters, and the orange-red magma visible to the naked eye sprang up along the crater and rolled down the hillside. The place where the magma passed, the hot and torrential floods swept countless vegetation, and the peak of the mountain pass was covered by the hot layer.
... However, the magma only traveled a few hundred meters, and suddenly stopped, and the thousands of degrees of high temperature quickly cooled into dark gray mud.
All the way to the crowd, it’s not easy to rush to the foot of the mountain: "..."
"???"
"!!!"
"This...the power of this volcanic eruption is too small." Chen Gangyu’s voice came out weakly. "When you cook the porridge, it’s more than it’s moving."
"I see it is a nap!" Qin Qi said with annoyance, his hair was on the top of his head, and the image of the idol small meat was completely destroyed. "If you knew the power of the volcanic eruption so little, what are we running?" Run, I rushed down in the morning without anything, and I even wore the socks."
Everyone is attached. I heard that the volcano is about to erupt, and they have flashed countless fragments of disaster movies in their minds. They thought that they would die today. When I thought of this volcanic eruption, there was no sign of "moving the ground", and their fears became jokes.
The general director nodded and thought of the millions of photographic equipment that he had thrown at the camp, and his heart was bleeding. A camera has a weight of twenty pounds. When retreating, he let the cameraman remove all the memory cards, but these small floating cards, where the camera is expensive!
The general director saw that the outbreak did not pose any substantial danger. He suggested: "Or else, go back...?"
"When is it back!" Su Ji slammed and let the whole team return to tranquility. "The volcanic eruption is like a earthquake. It is not a wave of end! The earthquake has aftershocks, and the volcanic eruption will follow waves! Just that is the first soldier. No one knows how big the next wave will be and when will it come!"
As if to prove her words, the aftershocks of the feet continued, and at the same time, the black smoke on the top of the volcano became more and more heavy, such as a black silk covering the sky, covering the entire sky!
Next, a loud thunderous sound rang from the top! Black smoke sprang from the crater, and instantly fell to the height of nearly a kilometer! ! This time, the magma, like the blast, splashed directly, mixed with volcanic ash on the mountainside, together with the hot air and rocks, formed a terrible "volcanic debris flow"!
The volcanic debris flow is definitely the first killer of a volcanic eruption. It looks like a thick mud, but its lethality is far superior to the general mudslide. Its momentum is devastating, and in just a few minutes, it can be rolled from the top to the mountainside.
It was not only the debris flow, but the volcanic ash that rushed to the sky shattered around and quickly fell back to the earth by gravity. It's even faster than the former. From afar, I saw endless smoke swept through, like a terrible big mouth, waiting to devour them!
Volcanic ash is only finely divided dust, and the amount is not fatal, but inhalation into the lungs in large quantities will definitely cause pneumoconiosis and hold your breath. In the ancient city of Pompeii, which was buried in the foot of the volcano in history, most people did not die from magma, but died of suffocation by inhaling excessive volcanic ash!

Run!
Su Ji shouted.
The road is the road, the bus is waiting for us!

The program group was originally scheduled to return to China today, so the bus that was connected was arranged in advance and everyone could be transported back to the nearest airport. Before going down the mountain, she contacted the driver specially, and asked him to stay in the same place with heavy money. Just on the hillside, everyone has seen the shadow of the bus, as long as they run faster, they can escape the clutch of the of death!
At this moment, the desire to survive overshadowed the exhaustion of the body, and all of them took down their weights and ran their legs toward the distance.
50 meters, 80 meters, 100 meters.
Two hundred meters, three hundred meters, five hundred meters...
Near, near!
Rushing out of the woods, they are the last 100 meters away from the bus!
However, they never imagined that the last level that was blocked in front of them was actually an artificial ditch that was about three meters deep! When building the forest road, in order to prevent large animals from accidentally hitting the road and causing traffic accidents, ditches were dug on both sides of the road. Now, this ditch is like a sacred squad, blocking their escape!
Fortunately, the guides who are familiar with the local environment have pointed out a
tower bridge
for them – I don’t know which villager cut off a few bamboos and tied them together to form a narrow dirt bridge. The tour guide jumped up and walked through the ditch in a few steps and arrived at the road.
The bus driver opened the door and dripped the horn to urge them to get on the train as soon as possible.
Although the three meters is not deep, but it must be hurt when it falls. But at this moment, no one can still take care of the deep ditch under the foot, eyes all staring at the bus - staring at the hope of survival!
Everyone jumped on the bamboo bridge one by one and quickly ran across the bridge.
Su Ji took the initiative to suppress the battle, Xiaoxia loyal to the original wanted to stay with her, but Su Ji was forced to push her on the bamboo bridge.
When the last person got on the bus, the black smoke had reached the nearest place. The horrible power of the natural environment is vividly displayed at this moment.
The screams came one after another, Xiaoxia cried and shouted: "Su sister, you are coming over!! You are running over!!!"
Su Ji abandoned all the distracting thoughts and quickly jumped onto the bamboo bridge. However, she was still a step late—not waiting for her to stand still, and the black smoke from behind her opened the giant sky net and swallowed her!
......
The smoke filled the air and covered all the sight.
When Su Ji fell from the swaying bamboo bridge, in just a few seconds, her spirit seemed to have passed through time and space, and returned to ten years ago.
Ten years ago, she finally got into the school she dreamed of.
Ten years ago, she sneaked into the geological three treasures, but excitedly opened the first field trip.
Ten years ago, she was listening to the professor’s teachings at the campfire.
- "As a geological person, you must always remember: in the face of nature, human beings are small."
