"Nauman, do you still remember Ento's paper four years ago on the habits of volcanic stoneworms?
Creatures such as volcanic stoneworms will accelerate the reproduction rate of individuals when the population is reduced to a certain number.
In this process, the volcanic stone worm will absorb a large amount of volcanic energy. From this perspective, it should have the ability to suppress volcanic natural disasters and expand volcanic groups! "
The ultimate goal of the topic Ella is studying is how to suppress the gradually growing area of volcanoes in Letania.
In the past two hundred years, the total area of the volcanic area in Letania has expanded by 5% compared to two hundred years ago.
In some places where the expansion of volcanoes has been severe, humans have even been driven out of their original habitats by disasters.
"This is an unexpected surprise. If my conjecture is verified to be correct, perhaps humans can reversely affect the natural environment of some volcanic areas through the regulation of ecosystems..."
Ella was very excited, and her husband Nauman was also happy.
Suddenly, the husband discovered something and his expression changed.
"Ella, be careful!"
Nauman shouted, the Origin Stone skill had been activated.
"boom!"
A violent explosion occurred next to the mountain bike. A volcanic stone insect was blown here by the self-explosion of its companion. When it got up, it didn't realize that it was out of the group, so it lit up and exploded.
Fortunately, the shield controlled by the Origin Stone skill deployed in time, blocking the flame impact from the side, and the two of them were not injured.
"Camera!"
However, compared to the question of whether she was injured, Ella was obviously more worried about the camera that was flipped off the roof of the car. Important material had been captured in it. If it was damaged at this time, it would be unacceptable.
She jumped directly from the roof of the car and hurried to the fallen camera. Nauman followed behind while maintaining the Originium shield. He had already alerted himself to the surroundings, but it was very dangerous just now.
"Great, the camera wasn't damaged."
Ella breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on her face.
But at this moment, a dull sound of rumbling was heard, accompanied by vibrations from the ground beneath his feet.
"Oops, this is the prelude to a volcanic eruption. This volcano is going to erupt in advance!"
"Get in the car, we have to get out of here right now."
Nauman shouted, using his clothes to extinguish the fire of burning volcanic origin stone insect blood stained on the car body.
After opening the car door and getting in, his wife Ella also quickly entered the passenger seat from the door on the other side.
The mountain off-road vehicle was started and the mountain roads were speeding away. They had to rush back to the observation point that was predicted to be safe for the upcoming volcanic eruption before the volcano actually erupted.
But the Nauman couple sitting in the car did not realize that there was a link control line under the off-road vehicle they were driving, which was attached to the flames from the explosion just now. It is still burning, and there are even some signs of melting on the surface. .
. . . .
Halfway through the speeding mountain off-road vehicle, the vibrations on the ground became increasingly silent, like the calm before the storm.
Suddenly, there was a sizzling sound, the sound of tires dragging the sandy ground, and the driver's seat belt tightened directly.
"what happened?"
Ella asked.
"The brake cable was burned, and the mountain bike's tire was locked by the safety lock on it!"
Nauman, who got out of the car to check, looked a little ugly and answered his wife's question.
The volcano is about to erupt, but now they are at least two or three kilometers away from the safe observation point. This is a very bad situation.
The fatal thing is not the magma that flows out during the volcanic eruption. The flow rate of the magma on the dusty ground under your feet is not much faster than that of a normal person.
When a volcano erupts, the rocks that are brought out will be pushed hundreds of meters into the sky by the erupting volcano, and then they may turn into debris and fall down like a meteorite rain. This pair is within the range of the fall. In terms of life, it is the most deadly thing - hot falling objects from high altitude!
"We have to abandon the vehicle and leave on foot, but I'm not sure if the volcano erupts on the way back, whether the shield created by my Origin Stone skills can block the falling volcanic debris.
Perhaps we need to find a sheltered place to hide here to avoid the initial wave of volcanic debris bombardment. "
Ella agreed with her husband, and the two grabbed the necessary things and left the car.
About two hundred meters away, they found a large rock that should have fallen here after the volcano erupted, but they used the large rock here as a bunker.
"Are we going to die here?"
No one can answer this question. In the face of natural disasters, human life is undoubtedly fragile.
"If we stop here, what will happen to our research data, and what will happen to little Farah?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. We have already calculated that there won't be too many volcanic debris erupting towards us. We will be safe if we hide here!"
Nauman comforted his wife. Five minutes after arriving at the big rock, the rumbling sound appeared again and the volcano finally began to erupt.
The hot magma flow covered the corpse of the Origin Stone Worm in the crater. The large rocks brought out from the inside of the volcano were pushed up to high altitudes with fire and smoke. They shattered and collapsed in the air, and then fell, bang. Bang bang, it started hitting the ground.
Large, hard rocks will create things similar to craters, while small or brittle rocks will be like exploding grenades. After hitting the ground, they will be violently blasted. The impact caused it to completely break into small pieces and shoot out in all directions.
"Ah, my legs!"
Unfortunately, three smaller rocks fell here. Nauman's shield blocked the impact of the fragments caused by the explosion of the two rocks, but the third one directly hit the big rock they were avoiding. .
The big stone was smashed, and the broken stone fell from the top of the head. His wife Ella was pushed out in time and was not injured, but Nauman himself had his shield shattered and his leg was still pressed by the big stone.
"Nauman, how are you?"
Ella got up and rushed over.
"It hurts, but I can feel it. My leg is not broken. The shield has a buffering effect, but I can't get out. My foot seems to be stuck."
Nauman raised his body with his hands and tried to pull himself out from under the stone, but failed.
"The situation is not too bad. At least we were not killed by falling volcanic debris in the first place."
Nauman comforted his wife with a smile, an optimistic attitude that comes in handy in difficult situations.
"Before the magma flows here, we have a lot of time to think about how to lift the rocks that are pressing on me."
“There’s a jack in the car!”
After Ella finished speaking, she turned her head and saw the wreckage of the mountain bike that had been smashed into pieces not far away.
"It seems that I am unfortunate enough to have to accompany you here."
It is simply impossible to lift these large rocks without the help of tools.
Both husband and wife are researchers, their thinking is relatively rational, and they can understand this very clearly.
However, their feelings make them very emotional and have different expressions. The husband pretends to be carefree and indifferent to life and death.
The wife put down the camera in her hand, grabbed her husband's hand, and seemed to want to stay here with him.
"You have to accompany me, don't be stupid. Your research is so important. Once the results are produced, you will be able to make a huge contribution to the people of Letania.
It was for this purpose that we kept venturing deep into the volcanic zone for exploration and observation, wasn't it?
Are you willing to let all our years of hard work go up in flames in this volcanic eruption? "
"It's all me. If I didn't come here..."
Ella was crying.
"If you didn't come here, how could you make new progress? Research sometimes requires sacrifice. Maybe it's you, but this time it's me. But please don't be restrained by emotions, Ella, you We should move forward, and don’t forget that outside this volcano, there is still our daughter, and she still needs her mother.”
Nauman convinced his wife and wiped away her tears. Just as Ella stood up, the ground shook again, and the rumbling sound sounded again.
"It's actually a multi-stage eruption?!"
Nauman turned his head, his eyes widened, and he saw some stones in the distant sky carrying flames, flying towards this side again, and the largest one was heading straight towards this side.
"Ella, run."
Nauman shouted, but his wife did not move. Ella, who was originally ready to leave, became emotional when facing death and chose to stay with her husband.
The energy barrier was broken before, but the bracelet that activated the Origin Stone skills was not damaged. A layer of light blue barrier appeared on Ella's body again.
"It's no use."
Ella said.
"I know."
Of course Nauman knew that this protective power would be useless against the large pieces of volcanic debris that were falling this way, but this was a subconscious behavior. He wanted to protect his wife.
"Ayyafala..."
Nauman called out his daughter's name, and Ella knew what he wanted to say.
"I can only feel sorry for her, having two unlucky and unreliable parents like us..."
The Naumans looked at each other. In this desperate situation, they seemed to have returned to the time when they first fell in love with each other, the kind of romance that was also formed in the environment of a volcanic eruption.
"You're so stupid, really."
The speaker was Professor Nauman, who was in his early forties and had a small goatee.
"Who told me to love you?"
The person who answered was Ms. Ella, a volcano expert who looked like a young woman and still had charm.
. . . .
Wu Ke: "..."
After being blasted in the face by the Origin Stone Worm, he flew up to other volcanoes to find someone. After going around in a circle and hearing the huge noise caused by the eruption of the volcano here, he flew back to this volcano to watch the strange eruption. Scenery, then unexpectedly heard the sound of people on this mountain, and came looking for it.
Wu Ke had been in the sky behind these two people, looking at them below for a while.
What, you ask, why didn't he just go down and help lift the stone that was holding Nauman's leg down?
Well, this was mainly because the atmosphere before was really difficult for him as an outsider to get involved.
When Wu Ke came here, the Nauman couple below were already performing a real version of the farewell scene of life and death.
When the farewell scene of life and death was over, he planned to go down and help the two of them.
The two people seamlessly connected the couple to return their lives, go to hell together to look at each other affectionately, and the final romantic short theater at the end of their lives.
The warm dog food was forcefully stuffed into his mouth. The killing of dogs at the scene was extremely cruel. Wu Ke thought of his own parents who sometimes faced similar situations. He instinctively felt that it would not be good to intervene, so he just did this. Watching the two people's performance silently.
However, the big chunks of pyroclastic debris are coming, and it's his turn.
. . . .
The young man with his bare upper body moved the joints of his arms. When the large piece of volcanic debris approached and the straight-line distance was estimated to be only fifty meters, he opened his arms to meet it.
I saw him hugging a large piece of volcanic debris and spinning around, pulling the huge force on it, turning his head, and throwing the stone to the side.
"Bang bang bang..."
During this period, three small pieces of volcanic debris were hit one after another, but the fire was scattered and exploded with an effect similar to fireworks, adding special effects to the two people looking at each other affectionately below, and the huge collision sound also woke them up.
"Wow, the lava is hot, hot, hot..."
Wu Ke swung his arms, and when he was picking up the stone, he stuck some magma that had not yet solidified on it.
In the process of getting rid of the lava on his body, his pants got messed up again and became popular again.
Nauman and Ella were stunned as they watched the boy with his crotch on fire falling from the sky.
The other party was patting his pants, but it seemed that he was patting them with too much force. Most of the trouser legs were patted off and turned into short shorts, which looked a bit embarrassing.
"You are Mr. and Mrs. Nauman, right? I am Ms. Zinsil's boss who contacted you two days ago and invited you to help. You can call me SB."
In this situation, neither Nauman nor Ella responded to the self-introduction.
"Oh, by the way, let me help you out first."
Wu Ke opened his clairvoyance eyes, saw clearly where the opposite foot was stuck, and confirmed the angle at which he wanted to lift the stone.
With a click, he inserted his whole hand into the rock, lifted up the whole broken rock, and then pulled the person out.
Nauman was saved.
"I know that the last invitation was directly rejected by you because you have your own important things to do.
But my matter is also very important, so I came here in person and wanted to ask you again to see if you can help me? "
Ella and Nauman reacted and opened their mouths, but before they could say anything, Wu Ke raised his hand to stop them.
"Please wait!"
Wu Ke turned around, swung the rock stuck in his right hand and threw it out vigorously. It collided with another small volcanic debris flying from the distance, and fireworks burst out again. Then he turned back and gestured to the two of them. The man's answer continued.
