The Shiretoko Peninsula is located in the northeastern corner of Hokkaido, with the lowest latitude in the world. There is sea ice in the surrounding waters. The peninsula, which is less than 60 kilometers long, is full of undulating peaks. The volcanoes belonging to the Kuril Volcanic Belt are arranged almost in a straight line on the peninsula. central.
Most of the volcanoes here are not extinct volcanoes, but dormant volcanoes, and there are even active volcanoes. Frequent volcanic activity has created a large number of volcanic lakes, scattered among the volcanoes.
Where there are volcanoes, there will naturally be no shortage of hot springs. In addition, there is a lot of snowfall here and the snow melts late in the season. The beautiful scenery of snowflakes and cherry blossoms can appear together. In addition, the natural landscape is unique, attracting a large number of tourists to come here, and one hot spring resort after another has been built. Or ski resort.
At this time, it coincided with the end of March and the beginning of April, which was the season with the most tourists. However, a sudden accident happened at night. The earth shook, the mountains collapsed, and the houses collapsed. Along with the roaring sound coming from the ground, it was like a prehistoric time. The beast is moaning.
Although the locals were scared and worried, they were not too panicked. They hid in corners, under tables and other places according to their usual drills, waiting for the vibration to pass before leaving the house. But that was not the case in those resorts. Most of the tourists living there were I had never encountered an earthquake before, but when I encountered such a strong earthquake, it immediately turned into a mess, and everyone ran out in panic.
After finally running outside the house, I saw a horrifying scene. A mountain in the distance was like fireworks, spewing bright flames, billowing smoke and lava.
Pyroclastic flows formed by high-temperature gas, rock fragments and erupted volcanic ash roll down the hillside under the influence of gravity, submerging everything along the way. The gray torrent roared against the ground with billowing smoke and dust,
Countless red stones of different sizes were thrown high into the sky by the huge pressure. Thousands of red lights cut through the night, as beautiful as a meteor shower, but brought endless murderous intent. These stones fell to the ground, creating deep pits one after another. , and if it hits a house, it can easily penetrate several floors.
The dark red magma spreads out from the top of the mountain and touches the white snow. Bah! 'The slight sound turned into water vapor, making the beautiful snow scene disappear instantly, but it was far from enough to stop the flow of magma, which was still flowing slowly and methodically down the mountain.
If earthquakes can be taken for granted, even the locals cannot turn a blind eye to the volcanic eruption. They hurriedly ran out of their homes regardless of the shaking that had not yet subsided, supporting the elderly and the young, and driving and running to escape from their homes.
The road, which was not wide at all, was suddenly blocked by the sudden increase in vehicles. 'Dip! drop! The rapid sound of horns sounded one after another, but it was impossible to use sound waves to clear the blocked roads. Seeing that the volcano was still erupting, the pungent smell of sulfur could already be smelled. Many people simply gave up their cars and moved forward on foot, further aggravating the road congestion. .
Ahead is a blocked road, behind is an erupting volcano, and the pyroclastic flow that will spread over unknown time brings great psychological pressure to people. Cries and noises are mixed with the sound of car horns and volcanic eruptions. The explosions formed a sonata called escape.
The news of the eruption of the Kirimondake extinct volcano spread quickly throughout the world through the power of the Internet and the media. People in other places said "Oh" when they saw the news and continued their work and life. Only those who have leisure time Maybe click in to see the excitement.
People can be indifferent to disasters that have not befallen them, but TPC cannot. They responded immediately. As soon as the volcano erupted, they immediately mobilized the rescue forces in the base and rushed to the scene by transport plane to carry out disaster relief tasks. , TPC’s powerful mobilization ability is fully demonstrated at this moment,
The shelters that were upgraded and renovated half a year ago also came in handy. They were immediately opened to accommodate victims. However, before the resettlement of the victims was completed, tents and other tents began to be set up. The eruption level of Wumendake volcano increased again, and the volcanic ash The two shelters that were closer to each other were classified as dangerous areas, so the people who had just entered were immediately evacuated and moved to the farther shelter.
The loudspeaker kept repeating the words "The shelter is closed, move immediately". The panic in the people's hearts turned into anger, venting it on the TPC staff who came to help them, blaming TPC for letting them run around and complaining about TPC. He was unable to prevent the volcanic eruption and cursed that the TPC only investigated and failed to predict the volcanic eruption... But when the pyroclastic flow approaches, no matter how angry people are, they will flee this shelter in a panic.
TPC's disaster relief work has a variety of plans and processes. It does not require too much attention from the top management. The people responsible for this work are busy, so they naturally need to rest and sleep. They cannot not eat or drink just because a certain place is hit by a disaster. No more sleep.
But all this changed after Zongfang knocked on Hui Jianhui's door in the middle of the night. Zongfang, who entered Hui Jianhui's room, only said one sentence: "He thinks Golzan may be at Wumen Mountain."
"Wumen Yue? That volcano that has erupted again?" Hui Jian was shocked and immediately said, "I'll go find the director right away."
Megumi immediately went to the area where the director lived. In the name of an emergency, he asked his secretary to wake up Director Sawai, who had fallen asleep. Although he was disturbed in the middle of the night, Director Sawai did not show any displeasure. He did not even have time to change his clothes. Pajamas came out of the bedroom in a hurry and asked, "What happened?"
He knew Hui Jian, calling him in the middle of the night was definitely not a small matter.
Hui Jian said with a serious expression: "Director, I think it is necessary to conduct a detailed investigation of the underground of Wumendake volcano."
Director Sawai's sleepiness disappeared and he immediately asked: "Why?"
"The Golzan who first appeared in the grassland crossed the ocean from the underground to Akita..." Before Megumi finished speaking, Director Sawai replied: "Do you suspect that the re-eruption of the Kirimodake volcano is related to Golzan? "
"Yes!" Hui Jian nodded and said: "The eruption of Wumenyue volcano is still continuing, and the intensity is getting higher and higher each time. This is so strange. If it is really Golzan who is causing trouble, then the disaster may exceed It’s beyond our imagination.”
Director Sawai's face also became serious. He turned on the display on the wall and found the map of Wumen Mountain. It was only fifty kilometers away from the place where Golzan was buried. He thought of the cooling lava appearing at the place where Golzan was buried. , Director Sawai couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
If it was really Golzan who caused the eruption of Kirimondake volcano, then things would be too bad. He could make an extinct volcano erupt, which would definitely make it easier for dormant and active volcanoes to erupt. But the Shiretoko Peninsula lacks everything. There is no shortage of volcanoes.
