This volcano is only five or six hundred meters above sea level, and Su Mi quickly reached the top of the mountain.
Although the shape of the crater is a ring, the mouth is rugged and rocky, each part is irregular, and the temperature flowing out of the crater is very high.
So much so that Su Mi's feet were already like meat on a steamer, red and starting to hurt.
The temperature at the top of the mountain was definitely over seventy degrees, maybe even higher. Otherwise, with Su Mi's physical strength and recovery ability, her feet would not be so painful.
But this is within her tolerance range.
The middle of the mountain is hollow. When Su Mi looks from top to bottom, the entire mountain is like a hollow container, small at the top and large at the bottom. The inside of the mountain leads all the way to the ground for more than a thousand meters. The magma below is very large at the moment. Quiet, like red-hot glass, fiery and transparent, quiet but mysterious.
Except for a dead tree trunk dozens of meters below the crater, other mountains with rocks inside have been dried by high temperatures and turned red, and gravels roll down from time to time.
No matter how big or small, any stone that slides into the magma below is instantly swallowed up, leaving not even a trace of debris behind.
Although the volcano does not look like it is about to erupt at the moment, it is actually like a sleeping brutal dragon. Once it wakes up, it will destroy and devour everything nearby.
Including Jiangnan City base.
She had to rush back as soon as possible to let Wang Hexing stop the evacuation.
In terms of location, this volcano is closest to Jiangnan City, followed by Shao'an City.
There was a loud "rumbling" sound, and the entire mountain shook.
There was another earthquake. It's still the same as before, just a slight tremor.
Su Mi's steps were steady and she was not affected by anything. But when she looked down when she was about to go down the mountain, she suddenly discovered a problem.
After this micro-earthquake, the altitude of the mountain seemed to have increased.
And the position of the crater behind him also emitted several wisps of black smoke with this earthquake.
This is the movement of the earth's crust that is raising the altitude of this volcano.
Once the altitude of the crater increases, the area devastated by the eruption will also expand. By then, let alone the few humans left in Jiangnan City, everything here, including rivers, stones, flowers, plants, trees, animals, and all materials will be covered by magma and then melt.
There are nearly 20,000 survivors in Jiangnan City at this moment. If she hadn't accidentally discovered this volcano hidden inside the underground river today, once the volcano erupts, these nearly 20,000 humans will die in the magma instantly.
When Su Mi was about to continue walking down the mountain with a serious face, Jiu suddenly came towards her, holding a new fish in her hand.
The fish should have been grilled on a very high temperature stone slab, without scraping the fish scales, and the head, tail and fish scales were burnt off.
Su Mi's anger, which had subsided, was rising again. Unexpectedly, Jiu walked up to Su Mi and handed her the fish in his hand.
Su Mi's heart shrank and she frowned and looked at him.
"For me?"
Jiu slightly nodded seriously but said, "Well. Aren't you hungry?"
Su Mi looked at Jiu's feet, which had been burnt to the point of being separated from the flesh by the high temperature. Although the areas with black scales had not changed, the soles of the feet and the area below the ankles were still burnt beyond recognition.
"I'm not hungry!"
Jiu tilted his head and frowned as he watched Su Mi go straight down the mountain without looking back. He seemed to understand less and less what this woman was thinking. Don’t people only get irritable and lose their temper when they are hungry?
After Su Mi came down the mountain, she walked straight back to where she came from.
When they reached the entrance of the underground river, Jiuya followed silently behind him.
The temperature here is not as ridiculously high as on the edge of the volcano, and Jiu's feet slowly recovered after leaving the ultra-high temperature crater.
The dark cave entrance was much smaller than when she came, and part of the entrance was blocked by nearby earth and rocks that had weathered due to high temperatures.
If she entered the underground river cave entrance and blocked the cave entrance with surrounding stones, would this savage...
There are fish outside the underground river, and fish can also be grilled on the surrounding high-temperature stone slabs.
At this time, Jiu was still eating the grilled fish in her hand behind Su Mi. This grilled fish is not big, only half the size of the fish in Su Mi's space. He only needs five bites to finish it.
One mouth, one tail, three fish body without spitting out fish bones.
However, he had just finished chewing the fish meat and was still short of the last bite. He heard Su Mi jumping into the entrance of the underground river in front of him. At the same time, the surrounding stones and soil then seemed to collapse, blocking the entire entrance of the cave.
The large and small rocks at the entrance of the cave are connected together. After the gravel blocks the entrance of the cave, the water in the underground river can still flow out from the gaps to nourish the river here.
The fish he caught came from the nearby river. It is very plump. Although it is not as vital as the fish in the spiritual river of Su Mi's space, it has a faint aura and is quite delicious.
However, this woman named Su Mi seemed to hate him.
Su Mi thought that the volcano here was like this Savage Nine, an untimed bomb that was troublesome and impossible to deal with. However, this volcano should not erupt in a short period of time. Keeping Jiu here for the time being will save her some trouble.
When Su Mi returned to Earth Splitting from the Underwater River, it was already night again.
The black scales on her arms reflected light in the night, making Su Mi helpless and irritable. After returning to space, he changed into a pair of long sleeves and long pants to cover all his skin, so as not to be seen as a monster.
After the last incident with Xiaoxing, there were no changes on the surface of the base. However, Su Mi knew from Wang Hexing's thoughts that the base had begun to conduct research on biological variation and conduct a census of the blood of everyone in the base.
To prevent things like Yu Xiaoxing from happening again.
After all, Yu Xiaoxing couldn't be killed instantly with a gun. If such instances occur frequently, the consequences will be disastrous.
Su Mi didn't sleep all night after returning to her staff dormitory on the 15th floor. Early the next morning, after recalling Rhubarb, she took it with her to Zeng Yangping's laboratory on the 16th floor.
"Dr. Zeng, I brought Dahuang to see you."
"So, why are you here so early in the morning?" This little girl never liked coming to his place, so there must be something wrong with being so attentive today. Just seeing Su Mi's serious face, Zeng Yangping stopped making fun of her.
"Dr. Zeng, after we went to S City this time, I discovered a big problem. I think you will be interested, but this matter..." Su Mi glanced at the researchers around her, and then pulled Zeng Yangping to Zeng Yangping. In Hinata's own exclusive laboratory.
"What's wrong? Why do you need to be so careful?"
Su Mi explained all the problems discovered in S City. Su Mi did not know exactly which of the soldiers brought back from S City had mutated bodies. Originally, she thought that as long as they drank the water in her space, the mutated state of these people's bodies would be restored.
It’s just that Su Mi is not convinced now.
The reason is her current physical condition.
She belongs to the ruler of space, a black scale host, and the black scales on her arms have not receded yet. She strongly suspected that this was one of the conditions of mutation.
If the mutated state of the human body has an incubation period after being exposed to mutated creatures, then many of the conditions will not be visible regardless of whether one drinks her spiritual water or not.
"You mean, there are many soldiers who may be in the same situation as Yu Xiaoxing before?"
Only now did Zeng Yangping become truly serious.
If the soldiers in the base have such a condition, it will definitely be a very big hidden danger for the base.
It is a hidden danger not only to the base, but also to humans.
